We had drinks and dinner here. Ended up having a great chat with Hutch, a fellow hockey fan. When…read morewe said we were originally from Rockford, he changed into a Rockford Icehogs jersey! Pretty wild for a small restaurant in Death Valley. But on to the food. We'd seen recent pictures of Alien Bread in reviews but they didn't have it anymore so we started with an order of garlic bread. Sorry but it was pretty subpar. Mighty dry and hard. Oh well. We then split a pizza. It was way too much for us but it was cheesy and delicious. Since we were traveling, we had to leave quite a bit behind. We enjoyed our experience a lot despite the uneven food.

The breadsticks were slightly burnt, and the atmosphere leaned heavily on awkward, outdated boomer…read morehumor that made us feel anything but welcome. Hutch referred to my wife as "my friend," a couple times which immediately set an uncomfortable tone. Things went further downhill when the chef (if that's the right term, given the state of the breadsticks) approached us aggressively while we were boxing up our food. He raised his voice and said "nobody told me it was for takeout," despite the fact that I had already had a full conversation with Hutch confirming takeout and requesting everything to-go. I hadn't even said a word to the chef and didn't mind packing things up myself due to a simple miscommunication, but his confrontational approach was completely unnecessary. It's hard not to wonder whether the discomfort we experienced had anything to do with the fact that I'm obviously gay, because the overall interaction felt weird, unwelcoming, and tense. I went across the street later to the BBQ place to get food and they treated us like family, so it's not a small town problem. The only reason this isn't a one-star review is because the wings were decent, but I could never imagine coming here again. They also did not have homemade desserts like the other reviews claim (one of the reasons we even came here).

We went on a Friday night. We got there and ordered a drink, the bartender said they were closing…read moreearly because it was slow (not even midnight when they close at 2). We sat on the patio and another worker came and told us they were closing soon and we had to wrap up, with our brand new drinks. He came back not even 5 minutes later and said "ight guys you gotta get out." And made us leave while there were still 6 or 7 people inside sitting at the bar. Honestly pathetic, made us feel like we were very unwelcome even though we were paying customers. I never leave reviews but this place sucked so bad I had to. The employees always seem so annoyed to have any customers at all. There's always rumblings in town of this place closing down, and if they continue to treat people like that, it's only a matter of time until that's going to be true.

He came over and visited with both my husband and I and it was wonderful for us both. Looking forward to next weekend again.

The outside looks not so informative about what you will experience so hurry up and get inside. The inside is a cacophony of spaces from a large u-shaped bar with video poker, to a room with pool tables, another room for line dancing, and a few tables scattered here and there. The decor I believe is a work in progress trying to recover from years of overuse and abuse. So again focus on why you came in. Any of these options are available but we recommend eating!!! Here's the thing Eric (Chef, sous chef, pastry expert, expeditor, waiter, dishwasher, and ...) and Dana (hostess, bartender, busier, and social media division) are two of the kindest and friendliest folks in food service but also two of the hardest working and busiest! So figure out what you want and need as efficiently as you can they're only human. Now for the best part!!!! Go order a steak or salad or Shepard's Pie or dessert just get in there and order but make a reservation! The food is incredible and interesting combination of flavors cooked to perfection and clearly prepared by someone who loves to create gastronomical wonders for folks to savor.

This time they didn't have my number since I ordered it at the front. I was two months after surgery so was still feeling discomfort when getting in and out of the car so didn't go back to ask for it. So remember to check your order if you order for pickup to make sure.

Just gotta drop a star because our waitress was a bit short and irritable, and the food was really nothing crazy amazing. Ended up having the shrimp and lobster fries appetizer which was pretty yummy, the shrimp on it is the best part. Even the kids loved the fries and ended up also splitting a chicken sandwich that was pretty basic, but cooked well and had a tasty bun. Wife and I split a pastrami burger, and gotta say the pastrami was really good, that was a great choice. It had a bunch of creamy cheese sauce on it as well and was gone in seconds. Ambiance was fine, place was really clean, and service was SUPER QUICK. One critique is when we asked for extra plates to split out food, the waitress told us they were out of plates because they used them all on the party that was in there. This was at max a party of 10, and the restaurant had to only have 10 more people in it total. Kinda weird to be out of plates at 20% capacity... she did end up getting us additional "trays" to use. Totally fine, just a bit odd. All in all, if you need some quick grub, stop in here on your way through. Price was pretty fair, 2 burgers, and an appetizer with ice teas for $50. Decent.

Absolutely amazing staff!! Quick, attentive, friendly and efficient!!…read more The food? Chef's kiss. A must for anyone who loves seafood. But fear not, my land-loving carnivores -- their burgers are legit too. The drinks? On point. I'm convinced they put magic (and possibly happiness) in their margaritas -- best in town, hands down. The vibe? Laid-back, spacious, and beachy enough that you'll forget the nearest coastline is hundreds of miles away. Close your eyes and you might just hear seagulls... or maybe that's just me after round two of margaritas. In short -- great food, great drinks, great vibes. If you leave here unhappy, you probably ordered water.
