    3 meat bbq platter
    Amber S.

    Been here twice with my mom while visiting her. Both times good service and food! My husband got the 3 meat BBQ platter and I got the chopped brisket sandwich. Definitely one of our go to places to eat in Pahrump!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Been a few times for some beer and sports, nothing really stood out to me, beer was not bad and the…read moreprice was pretty good. Food menu was a little confusing at first, it's an Indian/American fusion so the menu is HUGE. A little overwhelming for my taste. Went with a burger the first time around and it was decent the fried onions on top were a little cold and chewy! Service was quick with it. Food came out fast and the staff is friendly. Ambiance is also a little weird it looks like it's in a transition phase but at least it has bar and table dining!

    My father and I recently dinned in the pourhouse while we were looking for something to eat while…read moredriving through town. I was craving Indian food and he was craving bar food. Never did I expect that we would find a combo of the both of them. From the looks of the menu everything looks fantastic, which drew us to coming in. I was super excited to try the chicken tikka masala as that's one of my favorite dishes. My father decided to get the chicken strips with the garlic Parm fries, and they were fantastic to say the least. We both enjoyed the seasoning on the chicken batter and the flavor of the fries. Unfortunately, my chicken tikka masala wasn't so great. The chicken didn't seem to be marinated at all and it wasn't anything special. It was definitely disappointing, and I wouldn't order it again. There was no coloring inside the chicken and the rice was bland. I shouldn't really have expected much from a fusion place as they're typically l a lot better at one thing than the other and I'd say they're a lot better at the bar food. I didn't try any of the other Masala's so I can't speak on them. I did enjoy the sauce and the onion basil naan but it tasted more like pizza bread than anything. Our server was fantastic and she was very helpful with suggesting items on the menu. The ambience of the restaurant was a little lackluster as well, but overall great. I don't think we'll be stopping in again, but it was definitely nice to try once. The reason why I even leave three stars to begin with was due to the chicken strips and garlic Parm fries, again I can't express enough how yummy they were, but the tikka masala was a hard pass.

    My wife and I have eaten here a number of times, as we live in Mountain Falls…read more We've never come away, disappointed. Food is good, and prices are reasonable.

    We purchased a home in Mountain Falls about six months ago, in part because amenities like the…read moreGrill Room seemed like they would become a regular part of our lifestyle here. Unfortunately, our experiences have been consistently disappointing. We have eaten here four times. The only genuinely positive service experience we had was when we sat at the bar. The other three visits, when dining with our kids, involved long waits to be seated and then extended periods sitting at the table without any service or acknowledgment. Our most recent experience was especially frustrating. We brought friends who were considering purchasing a home in Mountain Falls and wanted to introduce them to the community over lunch. We stood at the entrance of a half-empty restaurant for roughly five minutes before anyone acknowledged us. When someone finally did, we were simply told they were "behind" and that we would "have to wait awhile." There was no estimate, no effort to make us comfortable, and no attempt to improve the experience by seating us at one of the many empty tables so we could at least look over the menus and order drinks while they caught up. We waited another 15 minutes without any additional acknowledgment before deciding to leave and go elsewhere. The unfortunate part is that this place has real potential. The location, views, and atmosphere could easily make it a destination spot for people coming through Pahrump or for residents looking to entertain guests. But mediocre food can only survive if the service is excellent. Right now, the combination of mediocre food and consistently poor service makes it difficult to justify returning. I genuinely hope management turns it around because this restaurant could be far better than what it currently delivers.
