    Delicious, diner-line food while visiting Hoover Dam! The food was quite good. There is a limited amount of indoor seating and the flow is off but the food is worth it. Loved it!

    The food is good but the pretzels are cheap. The service was average and the food took long. It was really loud and crammed in there.

    a bacon and lettuce sandwich

    in my opinion, having to find a delicious foodie gem at a touristy location is such a wonderful thing. Yes, we were doing the touristy thing by stopping in to Hoover dam tour when I found myself in this 'Dam Cafe'. Everything here seemed fairly ordinary and like any other tourist trap. Except this one has proved me completely wrong. Ordered a burger and triple decker truly without much expectation. Paid the tourist price for each dish and waited a while. I noticed when I was picking up the food. Hefty! plates were not light like I expected them to be. Portions were very generous. Burger was juicy and actually delicious! But the french fries under the burger were even better . Yum... couldn't believe this was a burger being served at a tourist cafe. Patties were decently thick and cooked just right (Not a fan of over cooked meat). Triple decker was very generous in portion with lots of bacon, good slices of tomatoes and lots of shredded lettuce. Bread was nicely toasted and did not taste stale. It's such a wonderful feeling when you can actually get a delicious meal that justifies the spending at a touristy place.

    Chicken Caesar Wrap

    We had a dam great lunch at the cafe! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the food was excellent. I had a chicken Caesar wrap, the chicken was seasoned and cooked really well, My partner had the Dam Burger which was also top notch with super fresh produce and again cooked to perfection. Although this is a place for a quick lunch, in a location that you may not expect great food or service, we were really impressed with both. Great job!!!

    Cheerful and talkative staff at the cafe made it fun. Food was hit and well prepared. Prices were not exorbitant.

    Breakfast burrito and double cheeseburger.

    I stop by the Hoover Dam Cafe for a quick kunch as I waited for my DAM tour. The place is a greasy diner with a spectacular view. Classical diner menu with some sparse healthier additions for those watching their calories. We had both their breakfast burrito and double cheeseburger and fries. Neither was remarkable in any shape or form. If this was a restaurant in town, particularly in Vegas, you wouldn't drive out of your way to eat here. What is remarkable and much appreciated about the Hoover Dam Cafe is how affordable it is. You don't need to break the bank if you are hungry and have an hour or so to kill before your DAM tour. That can't be said about many touristy spots nowadays. Hopefully the future brings aome gourmet additions to the menu.

    Hi, my friend from Chile wrote to me and asked me to see what kind of hot dogs you serve ? He says his Mom loves them. Can you please advise? Thank you He sent me this photo

    Cheese Dam Burger
    Michelle W.

    I made the mistake of not stopping to eat before I got here. I shared a cheese dam burger. Funny how the food here had Dam in it. Loved it! Luckily at 12pm there was not much of a line. After ordering you wait for your order to come out from the grill unless you get an item from the fridge (salads, wraps,etc). We stood up and a couple offered their table. We thanked them. There are not many tables to sit at inside and they did have more tables outside to sit at. I wanted to sit indoor since it was so hot out there. I enjoyed the air conditioning. The cheeseburger was decent and so were the fries. You can't beat the convenience of having this place here. I agree with the other reviews the prices may be high.

    Really, packaged everything, nothing special about getting a bite to eat at the Cafe. Every table was empty. Guess when nobody can take a tour since they have been suspended, there are no desire to hang around and get a bite to eat.

    Wasn't expecting much, assuming that it was just a place to feed as many people as possible. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good. I really enjoyed the onion rings, since they were the beer batter type. A little expensive, but if you need a quick bite after walking around the dam, this is a good choice.

    Absolutely love there. They do have patio outside. Enjoy eat good foods while see a viewing of Hoover Dam and Bridge. They are an excellent service.

    Went to see Hoover Dam and got thirsty... ended up getting the grilled cheese, footling hot dog and mozzarella sticks... all yummy!!! Very happy with the food. And you can sit outside with a view of the bridge that's across from the dam.

    While visiting Las Vegas, the Fat Man and his wife took a drive out to the Hoover Dam and stopped…read moreoff in Boulder City to try The World Famous Coffee Cup Cafe. This is a family-owned, family-run staple breakfast and lunch destination for locals and people around the globe. It has also been featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. I had the Papa Con Chili Verde with hashbrowns. This dish is made with Pork Chili Verde, cheddar cheese, pepper jack, pico de gallo, and flour or corn tortillas. I added an over-easy egg as well. The hash browns had a really nice crunch and good seasoning. The egg was cooked perfectly with a nice runny yolk. The cheese added some gooey texture, a little salt, and a bit of bite, while the peppers added a nice crunch to each bite. The pico also added a bright, fresh texture to the dish. The Pork Verde was beautiful, with great spice and juiciness, tender yet with a good chew. The entire dish works well together, and it was hard to stop eating it. I also sampled their biscuit with homemade gravy. The biscuit was light and airy with great texture, chew, and flavor. It was buttery and fresh. The gravy was seasoned really well, with big chunks of well-seasoned sausage that weren't overpowering, along with sage and other seasonings. The gravy was thick enough to stand up in its own, but not so thick that it had the consistency of glue. Perfect, flavorful, and amazing are about the only ways I could describe it. My wife had the B.L.T.E. on sourdough with home fries. This sandwich is served with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and egg. The sourdough was thick-cut and lightly toasted, with a light flavor, crunch, and great chew. The lettuce and tomato were fresh, bright, and both had a great texture. The eggs were well fried and seasoned. The bacon was medium-thick, cooked to perfection with crunch, chew, and a great salty flavor. The home fries came in a huge portion, were well seasoned, but were undercooked and had an unwanted crunch. They also came with grilled onions, which tasted good, but I'm not sure why they were put on top of the potatoes rather than cooked along with them. Coffee Cup has a full menu for both breakfast and lunch. They serve loads of burgers, wraps, sandwiches, plate meals, burritos, omelets, diner classics, and sides. They have a full bar and serve beer. The staff was extremely nice, and the service and food were quick. The Fat Man says that The Coffee Cup Cafe is Fat Man Approved with 3 chins.

Thankfully the location was perfect since there was a lot to see around the area. The place looked cool with a ton of decorations of skis on the ceilings and a lot of photos on the wall. Mind you when we dine in we're kind of easy because we order, eat, and leave. The service was good, we felt like we were taken care of and they were kind. We order the OG breakfast sandwich and the pork chili verde omelette. We came in really hungry so I thought it was going to hit the spot. My husband and I really tried to like the food but it just wasn't as flavorful as it looked. The croissant bread wasn't as buttery as we hoped for and since the pork chili verde omelette was seen on food network I had high hopes for it, just for it to taste bland. But I did enjoy the wheat toast. We were kind of disappointed because of all the good reviews this place has but it was at least a great experience to try it out.

We were looking for a quick breakfast before driving back to Los Angeles (home) and we stayed for almost 2 hours going back to order more at least 2 times. My brother also ordered a strawberry nutella crepe to go but he ended up eating it right then and there! We tried the cheese danishes, tuna melt, lavender iced latte w/ whole milk and the caramel chocolate tart (with a raspberry macaroon on top). Nothing was out of place and everything tasted better than it looked. If you're looking for flavor, atmosphere and vibes... you can't beat this place. Also the staff were so incredibly positive, funny and upbeat. When I'm back in Vegas this is the first place we're hitting up.

    We passed by Le Cafe Du Val during a drive in Henderson and thought a lovely lunch here would be a…read morenice experience. We learned they also have a sister restaurant - Le Cafe du Sud in Southern Highlands. This is a counter service establishment - you get in line to order and pay and get our number and find a seat. There is a lot of menu items and ready made pastries so your eyes will have to move quickly to decide on your final order. There are plenty of seats indoors and out, so that shouldn't be too much of an issue. And water is self service as well. * Raclette Galette $15.99 - This gluten-free buckwheat crepe is served with raclette cheese, sunny side up egg, potatoes, bacon and ham. I love a buckwheat crepe and there's actually a place in town that I just love their version. At Le Cafe Du Val, they do prefer to cook theirs a little more on the softer side which I didn't realize. After a bite or two, I went and asked if this was typically how their galette is cooked. It was confirmed that yes, they do prefer it softer. They offered to remake mine which I initially declined but they insisted as they wanted me to be happy with it. So I agreed. I still found their version decent, but not exceptional. * Short Ribs Shakshouka $17.99 - This was on their Specials menu and was served with 7 pieces of baguette slices. It was good. * Melba Crepe $13.99 - It's a sweet crepe that's topped with poached peach, wild berry sauce, and whipped cream. It's simple and exactly as described. * Mini Lobster Rolls $18.99 - The lobster meat is mixed with celery, chives, and mayo and served on a butter toasted brioche buns. These are indeed mini rolls, so you may be hungry after eating them. Service - there really isn't too much to talk about as you order at the register and have minimal contact with the staff beyond them bringing the order to your table. I had to bring my plate to the staff member when I had the issue. I do appreciate their desire to fix my order though. Overall, Le Cafe du Val was just an okay experience for us. The food didn't stand out for us in the way that we hoped.

I was first turned on to CRCR by good friend and former owner of Bread and Butter Chris Herrin. A few months later while dining at Eat in downtown, I enjoyed that same delicious smooth cuppa joe,(unfortunatey, both B&B and Eat no longer use them) and knowing that they were in Boulder City, I knew one of these days I HAD TO go straight to the source. Pulling up to their storefront, it looks like nothing from the outside but as you enter, the smell of roasting coffee beans hit you like WOW!!! We met Don and Erik Anderson who are responsible for making some of the most delicious coffee you will have ever tasted(if you haven't yet). They were even nice enough to give us a little behind the scenes tour and explain their delicate roasting process using state of the art equipment (infrared heat, not open fire) and even offered tips on how to enjoy their product in the best possible way. We decided to grab a bag of one of Eirk's favorite blends-Bolivia: Amor De Dios, a 12 ounce bag for $10. If you're looking for a specific characteristic, flavor, etc. they have other blends available and Erik will be more than happy to point you in the right direction. If you haven't had a taste of Colorado River Coffee Roasters, places like Grouchy John's, Great Harvest Bread Company, and Sambalatte have their own blends from CRCR that they serve up. You may also purchase coffee from CRCR online which will be delivered right to your doorstep, or better yet, take a drive to Boulder City and go straight to the source and get an even fresher product! Here are some helpful tips that Erik and Don suggested: COFFEE: DO NOT grind the beans fine...a coarse grind is suggested WATER: DO NOT boil your water!... 200 degrees Farenheit... no higher! EQUIPMENT: No fancy equipment/gadgets here- a FRENCH PRESS is their weapon of choice, and how Erik and Don enjoy the fruits of their labor.... DOSAGE: Start with an equal ratio of 1 gram beans to 1 gram water and steep for 4 minutes...if it isn't strong enough, increase the beans to your liking STORAGE: Store beans in a cool, dark place....DO NOT refrigerate or freeze!!! BEST BY: Enjoy within 1 MONTH of purchase Erik and Don have also been chosen as one of the top seeded companies to compete later this year on the National level in Seattle with the best in the country. Best of luck to Erik and Don who have single handedly put Nevada on the coffee map, and forget the big chains....BUY LOCAL!!!! ALOHA!!!
