    Bessie catching some shade on a hot desert day.

    Definitely located in the middle of nowhere in the beautiful Nevada desert. Popped in yesterday after discovering that nearby Sugar's Shack went out of business. Sigh!! :-((( Looks like a fun place to hang out during cooler months, especially with the awesome outdoor seating area. Decent burger with no fries available. Friendly service provided by Kathy the owner. The beer selection wasn't for me, so I don't have much reason to come back again, unless of course, they decided to carry some Guinness or Blue Moon or I bring my own.

    Good drinks, good food, great service. Food is whatever she's cooking that day, but it is made with love. Swing by

    Overall the staff was very friendly and I would say this is a good place to stop on your way to Pahrump or south Las Vegas.

Great affordable prices. Scrumptious desserts too. Easy to read menus. Seating was very comfortable as well. Parking was easy to deal with. Overall a 5 Star Setting and Rating. Karaoke was very entertaining and enjoyable as well. We will definitely be returning to repeat this very enjoyable evening again. Everyone was extremely accommodating and super polite.

We'd heard from the locals, The Hubb is some of the best food in town and is a popular watering hole for the younger (under 70) crowd. The lady who served us for lunch was rude and seemed bothered we came in. Eventually she brought us our drinks and gave us a heavy sigh as she explained she didn't know why the restaurant was even open for lunch because she had too much to do to prepare for the evening shift. A second older woman brought our meal out (Taco Tuesday special) and tossed it onto our table without saying a word. The ground beef Caucasian tacos were over seasoned but generally edible. The service was absolute trash. My tip was reflective of that. If you have to visit Pahrump, bring your own food and cook at home, in your Air BNB.

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).

    Hidden gem for homemade food!!…read more We brought our kids for dinner and had an unexpectedly great meal--calzones and sourdough pizza, plus homemade cheesecake and brownies. I do not normally get cheesecake but trust me - this is SO good. Everything is made from scratch, including the sourdough, calzone dough, and pizza sauce, and desserts. We ordered personal pizzas, but the large ones looked huge--lots of people were enjoying them in the bar area. When we walked in, we weren't sure what to expect. There are two entrances--one to a busy saloon for adults and was quite busy for a Tuesday), and one to an empty back dining area near the kitchen. We chose the back, which actually turned out great. The chef (been here since August) was very friendly, shared about the food, and makes East Coast-style pizza and calzones (recently moved from New Jersey). His wife makes the desserts I think he said - my kids loved the brownies, and I loved the cheesecake: light, fluffy, and not overly sweet (and I don't usually eat cheesecake!). Very casual, low-key spot with friendly people and truly homemade food.
