Chiliequilles Plate
Karina R.

This restaurant is inside boulder city. It was a nice breakfast place. Food was a little greasy but edible. I love the jars they use for glasses. Servers were nice. They were checking up on us every now and then which I appreciate.

This was a fun stop in Boulder City . The food was good and so was the service . The almost 4 dollars for a fountain drink was not fun. They have plenty of options and even a bakery next door with pies . It's definitely worth checking out if you're near by .

2 Biscuits and Gravy, Sausage and egg.

Very cute old school diner in a very cool small town. Service was super friendly, food was on point and their bana bread and other pies are homemade.

Sweet Potato Fries and Kraut!

"Warning, this is a serious matter!" This is a "locals" favorite! It's a great way to begin and end the day! Remember this is just a reminder and a warning! Do you want good eats and drinks! Then stop! Stop here ! What is epic about this cafe besides the good food stuff here! It's the best gift they can offer the community the opportunity to thank the community for its service. First responders of all sorts. Thank you ! Are you a firefighter, police, sheriff, paramedic they have a wall of honor all for your services. When we first came to this cafe, just from the outside makes you want to come and see what's inside. They have an old Ford truck that's part of the decor outside that's always done up for some celebration of life and it's moments. Come and see what you see ! The food is truly amazing. After eating here it's time to be done . What I mean is the food is so delicious and comforting it's time for bed. Spend the day in Boulder and end it here. Wow ! If your a coffee drinker this is where you should start with coffee and pastries for that energy you need to go go get it happening Now that you know where to eat and have some great eats it time to go play . Remember the coffee is great here and awaits you before you write your story for the day.

It is spacious and nice. A vast menu accommodating breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. There is a bar as well. Service was good but either forgetful or slow (due to other waitressing duties). We wound up having to get our own high chair and crayons for the child. The food was good but typical diner food. The parking is challenging and we had to park about a block away in front of someones house in a residential neighborhood.

They made a table for 11 for us for dinner. Outstanding service and food was very good. Ding one star for the menu showing a lower price than their billing system. Did not honor lower prices.

Some menu changes since my last visit. No creamy cucumber salad. The large-tasty servings, bar drinks, bakery, in & outdoor seating and their friendly servers has not changed. Soft drinks and iced tea served in HUGE Ball jars. A dependable stop from breakfast to evening. Lots of parking on the side street and their private parking lot. Lots of fun decorations and animated persons surround their property.

Simple but damn good

Look Breakfast is really a Simple meal. Done right it delights and fulfills. That's why we love coming to The Southwest Diner in Boulder City. The Welcome is always Genuine! The service is always first rate. Ask for Niki she is the best! Prices are fair. But the Good is the Star! Great quality and freshness! Really good portions. Delicious and Cooke fright Every time. And the country store vibe is great!

Chile Chili Relleno Breakfast Casserole

The food fantastic!!! The service was very awesome and our waitress was the best and was very attentive. The environment was very calming and relaxing. I would most definitely eat here again!!

When in Boulder City there's two places to try and this is definitely one of them. They do a lot of scratch based cooking and baking which really makes them stand out IMO. We ordered the corned beef hash and a corned beef Ruben, both of them were delicious. The portions were a nice size. The service was attentive. We liked eating alfresco.

Robert M.

Hey Yelpers! Came in here again because this is one of the best breakfast spots in Boulder City. The service is always great, the ambiance homey, and the food delicious. They have interior and patio seating for when the weather is nice. The chile relleno casserole is tasty with a little spice. Pancakes, banana bread, various potatoes... All delicious! We will be back. Come check them out!!!

first time here today! Brianna was such a sweetie. I got the asada quesadilla and my girlfriend got the chicken flautas. We got the street corn dip and for the price I think they should offer more dip on the plate. But the food was amazing I will be back next time I'm in Boulder City !

Chilli relleno casserole

This is a cute diner facing the main drag in Boulder City. It has a cute bakery attached with home made goodies, pies, cakes and such. Yum! Coffee comes all cozy in a little terra cotta cup. When weather allows the seating on the patio is so nice. We brought friends with us this time and we sat inside. Our waitress is friendly and knows the menu well. She took great care of us. We tried all the things and we just love the food and the vibe here. We recommend and will be back.

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.

This place has a legit small-town feel and serves some excellent barbecue. We ordered the Burger special, sliders (one pork and one brisket), and The Brisket sandwich. The sliders were huge for sliders and served on big toasted buns and piled high with coleslaw, onions, pickles, and pepperoncinis. Both meats were flavorful and tender. The brisket sandwich was outstanding: certified Angus beef cooked low and slow, seasoned with their Texas-style rub, sliced thick, and stacked high on grilled Texas toast. Very satisfying. For drinks, we had a couple Hazy Fox IPAs and two Huckleberry Lemonades that were on special for $5, which were a fun and refreshing choice. The sides were just as impressive. My family ordered the 50/50 bowl with half mac & cheese and half cowboy beans which was outstanding. The cowboy beans were especially packed with flavor. We also tried the fried okra and potato salad. The okra was amazing; crispy and delicious. The potato salad was just okay for me and a little bland, but I'm from the north, so I know everyone makes potato salad differently depending on the region. Overall, Fox Smokehouse BBQ was a great stop with delicious food, generous portions, and a welcoming hometown vibe. Definitely worth visiting if you're near Boulder City.

Strong coffee, excellent and friendly service, giant plates served up of breakfast enchiladas and carnitas benedict with chipotle hollandaise atop the most gorgeous, golden jalapeño cornbread. I have to place emphasis on how amazing the cornbread was!

The breakfast enchiladas come with delicious fried potato chunks and damn, they are tasty! Fried up with peppers and onions, they had a crispy outside and real flavor that made me steal my friend's food to have some. The price is great and serving portions could feed 1.5-2 people.

I arrived around lunch time there was only a couple other patrons and I was welcomed in by the staff. The server was very attentive if not a bit over attentive consistently checking if I needed anything or wanted more coffee which meant I had as much coffee as I wanted and I had a lot since it is pretty tasty. As for the food itself I ordered a stack of the banana walnut pancakes with strawberries & whipped cream and in a combo with eggs, sausage and garlic potatoes. The food was good I enjoyed the garlic potatoes a lot and the pancakes were also decent however not much of a banana flavor was to be found unfortunately. I did walk away satisfied with my meal and not finishing all of it due to the large portion of the pancakes the only real sticking point was the cost prior to tip being close to $28 which is a bit much for breakfast although I ordered one of the pricier items but making coffee or any other drink $4 is pricey compared to similar breakfast/brunch establishments. As compared to the emerald island grille which I view as the closest competitor pacific diner is better in quality their coffee alone is way better than anything at Emerald however the cost is much higher especially for most breakfast items where the cost is double that of the same item at Emerald. Overall I would recommend trying this place out and I will return to try some of the other menu items I am interested in.
