Great food, great service, short wait time for a Friday evening, and location is great too being inside a casino. I had the soup and salad bar as well as the 1/2 bbq chicken with two sides. Everything was great, and we had no issues.

Three meat BBQ platter. The mystery meats are baby back ribs and brisket. The menu says these are fresh cut french fries.
Stephen F.

2 stars overall. Food - one start, actually zero. The BBQ was the worst I have ever had. It was actually scary to eat it. Scared I would get food poisoning and get sick. All kinds of red flags went up when the BBQ meats came out with BBQ sauce poured all over it. You can see from the photo I'll share the three meat platter. It looks like mystery meat. One of them is baby back ribs and another was cold brisket. The ribs were very thin and very tough. Dried out, probably from sitting around for several days. The Brisket was cold, and absolutely horrible. The quarter chicken was so dry and tough it was not edible. Their menu and photos show house made French fries from fresh cut potatoes. Nope. They were just regular ole frozen fries. Sprinkled with what they might think is magic dust. They weren't bad but they were definitely not fresh. I chose this place because I do love BBQ but I selected this BBQ joint for the fresh cut fries over other places. The employees were nice until I asked about the fries and then one actually insisted that those were the good fries. Another said they have never had fresh cut fries. I liked the atmosphere, but it was inside of a snaky little casino. Right now I am back at my hotel, hoping that I do not wake up in the middle of the night sick. Before you dismiss this review, look at my other reviews and you will see that I leave mostly positive reviews. Way more five star reviews than any other type of review.

Moonshiners is in the Terrible's Road House casino and has great barbecue! Stopped for late lunch after a hike and had the chopped brisket sandwich - with the sandwiches you get a choice of one side and it comes with extra BBQ sauce & a small cole slaw. The BBQ sauce is great and so is the bread it comes with...Texas Toast! Overall, the staff was attentive and the decor was cool...if you are in the Pahrump area...go down Pahrump Valley Blvd off the main road and stop here for some good BBQ.

Tough Brisket

This place definitely could have been better. However, we were seated right away and orders taken. That was good. Noticing brisket was on the menu, we both ordered the brisket plate. We smoke our own plus have tasted it all across the southern states. We love good brisket. Once our plates were delivered it was the last time we saw our server until we needed a box and then, we had to get another server to get it for us. We never got a refill even tho' both glasses were empty. We also had to walk up to the register to be given our bill as it was not delivered even tho' we had asked another server for it. Now the food. Potatoes, corn and mac'n cheese were very good but not so the brisket. It had a good smoke ring but it was tough. There was also a BBQ sauce drizzled across the brisket. It should be tender, tasty and not need the sauce to hide the flavor. We were very disappointed but took it home. Our dog loved it. Sorry but not a place we would return to.

Brisket & pulled pork Mac and cheese Green beans

The inside seems small but there's a lot of seating. It has a bunch of decoration and things to look at. It's very nice inside. The servers were having a bad day it seemed like so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this time around and let it slide. It happens. The food was great though! I swear we could eat here forever! The meat was good. The mac and cheese was good, the baby enjoyed that, as well as the green beans. We will definitely be coming back.

See all

Food was such a pleasure to enjoy. We where a family of 4,…read moreeveryone picked their favorite things and cleaned their plates, worth every penny spent. The cleanliness was superb everything inch of the buffet areas was mouth watering I tried to taste as many as my stomach would allow. Top notch! Side notes: Wait staff very friendly and helpful as my Aunt wanted a tea but we made a miscommunication in wording with our waiters, they exchanged it without my aunt even noticing as she would rather not waste but we wanted her to have what she likes and one of our family members drank the other one. Leave room for dessert as they have little donuts which brought me back to my childhood, my mother made them from a scratch topped with a side scoop of French vanilla ice cream I will be returning soon! The restaurant was lovely and great for the little ones as well, high chairs and handicap accessible Best wishes China Wok you deserve many blessings

Came on a Saturday evening after visiting death Valley, and we were hoping to get some Chinese…read morefood. Stopped by this buffet, and we felt like we were transported back to old-time Las Vegas, with old-time prices. I think their weekday lunch price for the buffet is $13.99, and for weekend buffet, the price is $17.99 per person! When is the last time you saw a buffet available for $17.99? We were very pleasantly surprised, and I think that's just made our experience much better. Pahrump is definitely doing something right. Chinese Buffet - definitely did not go and expecting the best Chinese food of your life, but the price of for you some fantastic options and variety. They really carry everything here from soups, salads, rice, dishes, a few dim sum options, standard stirfry chicken and beef dishes, sushi, a Mongolian stirfry station, and dessert. - while I would definitely say that not every dish was delicious, this place has enough variety that you will find quite a few number of items that are great. For example, their shrimp, Kung pao chicken, mushroom chicken, and noodles were great, I ended up getting multiple rounds of these - also include self-serve ice cream with options, such as mint, chocolate chip, chocolate, vanilla, and a few other flavors - people maybe not too happy with this spot because at around 7:30 PM, they kind of stopped coming out with new fresh, hot food, so some items that were completely cleared out were not refreshed. I could see this being a source of contention for some reviewers Overall, a no-frills old school buffet with not the most beautiful seating and not the most beautiful ambience, but for $17.99 buffet with an impressive amount of options in pahrump, for people looking for Asian food, this is a pretty solid spot and I would definitely recommend it. In the future, if I'm ever craving Asian stuff and I'm in the area again, I would consider this spot pretty highly on my list.
