This review is based on three separate visits and each visit's order was for two people (i.e. two meals). Wait Time: Between all three visits, there was an average wait time of 20-30 minutes. When we arrived to the window to pay on our first visit, we were told to take a lap around the drive-thru and that our order would be ready upon our return. It turned out we arrived to the window and waited about 20 minutes before we received our order. Order: With the wait time in mind, please remember that Rome wasn't built in a day--so don't expect a quality meal to be ready within five minutes. With that being said, we ordered the 1). double cheeseburger with fries, 2). crispy chicken sandwich with fries, 3). fish and chips, 4). chicken tenders, 5). a strawberry shake, and 6). a chocolate shake between our three visits. The quality across all three visits was consistent and detailed here: 1). The Double Cheeseburger was cooked to our doneness preference. The bun was toasted with light butter and a slight crunch to the bite. The patties were juicy and well-seasoned. The cheese was evenly melted on the patties. The condiments did not overpower the patties' flavor. The toppings were the standard lettuce, tomato, and onions--which worked harmoniously with the rest of the burger, making for one of the best burgers I have ever had. Upon first glance, it meets my expectations of what a burger should be. 2). Much like the Double Cheeseburger, the Crispy Chicken Sandwich was of excellent quality. All of its components worked collectively to deliver in flavor and texture, including the toasted bun with the slight crunch. It was a perfect Crispy Chicken Sandwich. 3). The Fries were flavorful (fry seasoning, salt), crinkle cut, and evenly fried throughout (i.e. you did not have some hard pieces and some soggy pieces). We recommend a side of ranch for dipping. 4). The Fish and Chips were your standard Fish and Chips--and I mean that in the best way. They were fried until the classic golden and served with tartar sauce. Again, everything you would expect out of Fish and Chips. 5). While the Chicken Tenders were good, they were not outstanding. We would not order them again due to the other superior items on the menu. 6). The Strawberry Shake was flavored with fresh strawberries and like the Chicken Tenders, it was not outstanding. The Chocolate Shake was a classic Chocolate Shake. If you are craving a shake, then go for it. Otherwise, there isn't anything that would separate these shakes from another good quality shake. Both shakes leaned toward a thicker consistency. Note: The medium sized shakes are huge. If we ever get one again in the future, we will order a small instead. Service: We felt welcomed during each visit and did not feel rushed at the intercom (all three of our visits were through the drive-thru). Prior to visiting, we were unsure of what to expect with the mixed reviews and ultimately decided that we would just find out for ourselves. We are so grateful that we made the choice to try Chilly Jilly'z, because it is now one of our favorite spots in Southern Nevada. We definitely recommend that you give it a try! read more

Not sure what they were thinking here, but it seems they have changed their setup and no longer have indoor seating. This is insane considering the location of Nevada. We came today (not knowing if the change) and had to sit outside in over 100 degrees. It looks like they have some sort of outdoor AC setup , but it was not running. The chairs and tables as a result are scalding hot. This makes chilly jilly unvisitable unless you're taking it to go, or it's winter/fall. Which is a shame, because their food and treats are so good read more

Chilly Jilly'z Bakery & Cafe - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

A client from work actually recommended this place to me when I told her we'd be passing through town. It's a super cute little place! They appeared to be slightly understaffed while we were there, but service was still friendly and with a smile. Seating is outside and it was a bit windy, but still pleasant. When I heard about the broasted chicken, I had to try it! It did not disappoint. It was very juicy and flavorful. The fries were cooked perfectly and adequately seasoned. Their honey mustard dipping sauce was pretty good! My youngest ordered the same thing but with ranch for dipping and loved it as well. My oldest went with the Best Dam Panini and said it was amazing. Portion sizes are very generous. We didn't have room for dessert this time, so I guess we will just have to come back! read more

Not much of a visit. Our group had hoped to try the food but the kitchen was backed up by our calculations about 30 minutes longer than we could tolerate. The server said they could do drinks to go if we liked. They were out of diet soda so I ordered an unsweetened tea. It was not the best but it was drinkable though bitter. Looks like it has a nice shaded outdoor eating space. Tip: Be prepared to have a wait. May be call ahead and see how far behind they are. read more

If you come to or are passing through Boulder City, a stop at Chilly Jilly'z is highly recommended. They have a vast menu with all sorts of offerings. If you show your Nevada ID, you get a 10% discount, too. We've visited twice now and both times have encountered friendly and efficient service and scrumptious treats. Each order is made fresh after ordering, so there may be a little wait. You can place your order via the walk up window or by drive thru. Plenty of parking spots and each time has been a "chill" visit at Chilly Jilly'z. read more

Chilly Jilly'z Bakery & Cafe - Dole Whip Float and a Small Chocolate Custard with Oreos ($10.37 with their 10% off NV locals discount) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

We had family visiting from out of the country and had lunch here while exploring Boulder City. This place only has either a walk-up counter or drive-thru window with plenty of outdoor tables for dining. The woman at the counter was very friendly and patient even though it seemed like she was the only person working there at the time. We had the Best Dam Panini which had top sirloin, provolone cheese, topped with BBQ sauce & coleslaw w/ fries and 3-pc chicken tenders. We couldn't decide on the dipping sauce so we asked for both thousand island and ranch. The sandwich was really good and the fries were crispy and well-seasoned. However, the tenders could use some more seasoning and a little dry. I wouldn't mind going back there to try other items on the menu the next time I'm in that area. They also give 10% discount for Nevada residents which was a nice bonus. read more

Nice hole in the wall cafe in Boulder City. They do have a restroom on the right side of the building but had to flag a worker down to ask. Took a very long time to get someone to the window to order but she said it's because we "pushed it wrong", that we needed to push it hard on the bottom enough so that we heard it ring outside. Maybe put a sign explaining that? Nonetheless, decent food except the chicken is very dry. Ranch is excellent. They had no croissants for a breakfast sandwich so went with the bagel and it was just okay. Not bad for a post-hike snack. read more

If you happen to be in the area pass by this place and try their pineapple dole float. It was so refreshing after a long tour from Hoover Dam.

Had to give this a 3 star for now because 1 item was an absolute 5 star and the other, 1 star so just hear me out (til our next visit) I've lived in Vegas for over 20 yrs so over time I've seen this place during travels and finally tired it. When we got there you couldn't go inside and it was drive thru or walk-up window only. Not sure if it's always like that or not. So we decided to do drive thru because it was over 100 degrees outside. The young lady on the intercom was nice and it was easy to place our order. They cook to order so (be patient) we waited in the drive thru for about 10mins but it was all good w/ us because the food was hot and fresh. We have been talking about that burger for a couple of weeks now, definitely will be going back for that! 5/5 stars - cheeseburger was full of flavor, well seasoned! Soft toasted bun. Great portion for price and fries hot and crispy! They have a thousand island spread that was also yummy and veggies were nice and fresh too! 1/5 stars - chicken fingers: Unfortunately, these were tasteless and so greasy. read more

Such a cute spot in Boulder City! Auntie loves the soft serve and my kids are obsessed with the Cookie Monster ice cream flavor, definitely a hit for the whole family. The root beer float and pineapple floats are so good too. We actually stopped by because the hot dog lady across the street told us this place is owned by her daughter, so of course we had to come support and we love supporting local like this. We have not tried the food yet but will definitely be back to check it out next time. Now it is another one of our go to spots whenever we stop by the VA cemetery nearby. Great vibes, friendly service, and definitely worth the visit! read more

Love this place. Love their burgers and the atmosphere. Just a fun stop. However, I do have one complaint. Last time we stopped there we were not given the 10% resident discount (showed my drivers license). I went back up to the window and she said she wasn't sure why my receipt was not showing a discount, but her side certainly was. My husband, who is an accountant, looked at the receipt and said there was no discount. read more

The customer service has decided severely. With the receipt showing what was ordered and then not received and then going to the front to say we didnt get stuff ordered to be told its not available even though the girl too our oder...50 min later and still waiting with a MAJOR ATTITUDE from the staff. Never again read more

Food is good, it just takes a long time. When you ask, it will always be " just a few more minutes. When you hear that, you're at least 30 minutes from your food. Staff is rude. But if you're willing to wait and endure the eye rolling of the staff, you'll have a good meal. read more

This is a one stop shop for all your cravings. I used to live in Boulder City many years ago and this place wasn't here cause if it was I would have been coming here often. Our visit was a while back and I just had to have one of their delicious Dole Whips. One of the tastiest around. They offer so much more like sandwiches, salads, smoothies, broasted chicken, shakes, frozen yogurt. This place can easily satisfy the whole family. If you have never tried their broasted chicken, it's a must. Broasted chicken is cooked by marinating the chicken in spices then it is placed in a pressure cooker. It makes the meat so juicy and flavorful. I love that they don't begin to cook the chicken until you order. Plenty of seating and parking is also easy. Interior is large and can hold quite a few people. They are also offering brunch on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and dinner on Saturday nights right next door at The Patio. Service is always friendly and helpful. When in big Boulder City, be sure to stop here especially on an ultra hot day. You will leave feeling cool and comfortable. read more

Went thru the drive thru. Very friendly service. Order the dole float. This was very delicious and refreshing and way sweet. Also ordered chicken tenders with tots and with an iced tea. These were made to order so we had to wait. Not a big deal. The tenders were huge. Lightly breaded with a little seasoning. This was so good by themselves but even better dipped in BBQ sauce. The tater tots were cook perfectly, nice and crispy BUT waaayyyy too much seasoning. Make sure u taste them before driving off. Couldn't even enjoy them with all that seasoning on them. The iced tea was unsweetened and very strong. Willing to try this again if we are in the area. It was a little disappointing after being at the river. read more

Their chocolate yogurt machine is constantly down. We had the vanilla only (they didn't bother suggesting that we could have chocolate sauce), and it doesn't taste the same as it used to. Even after asking for the sauce, it took forever and the woman seemed to be "bothered" by the entire transaction. Our last visit. read more

The food isn't bad or anything, but the service is questionable. I ordered a fish sandwich with Sweet potato fries, my family got grilled cheeses, and one of us got a plant based burger. I can excuse forgetting something in my order, but to have somebody's state there is hair in their food and to only be told "I'm sorry." Is ridicules. Thank you for offering more fries for my inconvenience, but we should have received a refund for the burger as well, or an offer to have it remade. read more

3/29/26 10 am Sunday we sat inside ... waited almost 40 minutes to get our food. It was cold, and delivered by someone from the kitchen who set it down and walked away. we ate it anyway because we were starving. No jams or sauces were offered for the first 15 minutes then the waitress came by and I asked for jelly and steak sauce...... we got some jelly but no steak sauce so we got to go box and bailed out of there. Shame on you! and shame on the bus boy who was either so badly trained or angry that we had to plug our ears when he cleared a table. time for some training! read more

I stopped by here earlier today to get the kids ice cream on our way to the park and I was pleasantly surprised.

We'll stop here for lunch next time we're in town. read more

Chilly Jilly'z Bakery & Cafe - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

Honestly kinda mid. The dole whip soft serve is good but the actual food is just kind of average. I've had the breakfast burrito and it's alright. I recently tried the Black & Blue burger, and it was ok but nothing special. The staff are friendly but the service is pretty slow if you order food. It's all outdoor seating which is wild for being just outside Vegas. Pray for good weather when you go or get it to go. It's not a bad local spot but it's nothing super exciting. If you just want a dole whip or pineapple soft serve, it's worth a stop and NV residents get a 10% discount with ID. read more

The food was very good but the wait for the drive through was very long. We waiting around 30-45 mins for two burgers with fries.

Weird Vibe. Came Thursday or Friday 2/13 or 14th. Didn't get served. Young male in kitchen too busy dancing and singing by himself. Rang buzzer over and over. Weird. So we left after 5-10 minutes. Almost like he was hiding. Came back Sunday 16th got served by two young ladies, fast. Great service. Best Banana shake ever. Weird place but good shakes. read more

Came here for a Cute little brunch date while we were on our way to explore Downtown Boulder city. You order at the front and the employees working there are friendly! Ordered the Canyon caprese and the best dam panini with a side of fries. My boyfriend doesn't like tomatoes on his sandwich usually but he really enjoyed the pesto with the cheese and tomatoes. Sandwiches were fresh and hot! The best dam panini had a nice layer of coleslaw which balances out the meat and bbq sauce in it. Definitely a good mix of sweet and bold sauces. Fries were good too! Crunchy and seasoned. Don't need ketchup with it at all! We spent a good 40 mins enjoying the nice 80 degrees weather and eating our food. Definitely will be back when we are visiting Boulder city again! They have a lot of different sweet treats too ranging from floats to Blue bell ice cream!! read more

Waited an hour for food. Finally gave up and just left. People after us were given food first. Wouldn't recommend

Honestly this place is mid as mid can be when it comes to the food. The food is fresh but the freshest food in the world isn't gonna be good if there's no seasoning or flavor going on, it's like every meal on the menu has been tailored for 98 year old white people and it's Boulder City so honestly that may just be the case. INSANELY greasy and oily also. I was genuinely sopping up all the oil and grease with handfuls of napkins on my fried catfish. And there's quite a wait for the food on top of that. Overall just not worth at all. My gfs burger/fries were bland and my catfish/slaw/fries were pretty bland too. There's literally no salt or pepper or any seasoning going on here. The ice cream and custard and stuff is good. Just consider this place a dessert place only and you'll be better off and you also won't be waiting 30+ mins for a burger that's less good than the quarter pounders at McDonald's across the street UPDATE: yup, yall served at least some time of fried fish, at least for a time. An owner not even knowing their own menu is wild. Used to drive by yalls place every day for work getting excited about someday trying it only to get a bung ass burger combo for my gf and a bung ass fried fish combo and a milkshake I waited 20 minutes for lol, I think all this was like $45 too. Updated to one star for your annoying snarky comment. read more

It was around 11am, and we were the only customers in line so why can't they get the order straight. We certainly not going to drive to a picnic area, and turn around to get the rest of the order or napkins or forks. Yes, we are human who use cutlery to eat with.

Seriously something wrong with this place. Do you not want business?? I pulled up at the drive thru last weekend, placed an order and then after doing so was told that it would be at least 30 minutes. Uhhh, shouldn't you LEAD with that information? I ended up just driving away. No need to wait that long for a burger fries and a drink. I decided to give them another shot yesterday but this time walking up to the window instead. I literally stood there for at least 5 minutes, ringing the doorbell a few times and nothing. I looked at the operating hours and, yes they were open. This was about 2 in the afternoon on a Saturday and NO ONE could be bothered to check the window, not even to say, "we'll be right with you" or even just to tell me "F-Off, we're to incompetent to help you!" This is a new level of bad service. I hope for your sake you get it together before going out of business or maybe do go out of business and someone who knows how to run an efficient burger joint can move in and take your place. Either way, I won't be returning read more

Although the patio area reminded me of Santorini, the ice cream was sadly underwhelming. The frozen custard tasted nothing like custard like we have back east- just a cheap watered down mix with bland toppings. It wasn't particularly cheap and I don't know that any of us were very impressed, except for maybe the children who didn't know any better. It's a convenient stop if you are in Boulder City and the outside is pretty, but that's about the best I can offer in terms of a review. Go here only like as a plan G. read more

Chilly Jilly'z Bakery & Cafe - Pretty patio. Underwhelming ice cream. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Boulder City, Nevada

Made a reservation for Saturday Brunch. Chilly Jilly's has brunch on Sat. & Sun. Our reservation was for 10:30 and we arrived a few minutes early and immediately seated. We requested a fire pit table and were accommodated. The restaurant was half full and service was timely. I ordered the Divorced Eggs and my wife ordered chicken tenders, hash browns and refried beans. The hot tea was not piping hot and we requested more hot water for the pot and it was promptly delivered. The Divorced Eggs consist of 2 corn tortillas layered with refried beans (choice of eggs) red ranchero sauce on one side and pork chili verde on the other side. Included is a choice of home style or hash brown potatoes. I choose the home style and they worked well with the rest of the dish. This is a large tasty dish. I did not like the pork because the pieces had too much fat. Also the egg yolks were small. My wife ordered fried chicken, 2 tenders, a side of hash browns and refried beans. This was large enough to bring some home. The chicken and potatoes were crisp outside and soft inside. The refried beans were topped with melted cheese. On this day there was a guitar player that provided great background music. The fire pit had nice ambiance and some heat. The overall room temperature was cool and could have used the overhead heaters to assist because the roof is open to the outside. Overall the restaurant is worth the comfortable drive across town. They also serve dinner on Saturday and we will consider giving it a try. read more
