    After visiting the Dam, our hosts steered us toward their favorite spot for a late lunch. The Dillinger is right on Arizona St and next to a fascinating antique store (check it out!). The Dillinger is located inside the historic Bank of Nevada building and is named after the infamous bank robber John Dillinger. The restaurant is cozy inside with a small bar area. There are tables out front, and each glass-covered table secures a lot of spent brass. We 6 arrived thirsty and hungry. Our very friendly server was quick to bring us water, followed by beers. They do have a few good draft beers, including Pabst Blue Ribbon. Their beer list also includes some interesting offerings like Delirium Tremens. Even though their burgers are a must-order, we all ordered salads because we had very fulfilling dinner plans ahead. These salads are not small and will definitely fill the void. My chicken salad arrived with a healthy amount of chicken, along with blue cheese crumbles and blue cheese dressing. The chopped salad was another hit at our table. This is a great dive bar, and we would not hesitate to return.

    The Dillinger in Boulder City, NV was excellent. We both got burgers and both were excellent! The staff was friendly, helpful, and checked on us often - not at all overbearing, they were the perfect amount of attentive. It was like they had a sixth sense, their timing was always spot on! The outdoor seating was great and there were leash hooks. I highly recommend this place - especially if you like burgers as much as I do!

    I've learned that when the place is amazing, I take 0-1 picture only because I'm enjoying every moment. That is the case for this place. Amazing staff, super rad decor, and awesome food! Plus great drinks, so we were all very happy. Everything was delicious but the highlights were - 'picklebacks' (the bartender will know lol), the smash burger, the gangster fries, the prime rib melt (5 stars), and the dillinger burger of course. Oh and the clam chowder! No one was unhappy with their orders and the staff were so nice and attentive despite being pretty busy. We'll definitely come back if we're in town again.

    My goodness, what a treat this was! The food was delicious and served so quickly. We had the Chicken fingers and Chicken wings, both with fries! Absolutely loved it. The service was great, fast and friendly. The interior was really cool!

    I finally made it to The Dillinger! Located in Downtown Boulder City this tiny spot has amble seating with a friendly staff. I ordered The Dillinger- minus the cheddar piled with applewood smoked bacon & bbq'd beef brisket. This is a Damn good burger! Hubs ordered the Pancho Villa burger - piled high with grilled Onions & Jalapeños including Habanero Jack Cheese & Jalapeño bacon- delish! For sides we choose fries & onion rings - both good. Full bar.

    Came up with my husband and daughter for a quick work trip and of course had to wander around adorable Boulder City. We were starving and heard The Dillinger was a "must try" and now I see why. It's a quaint little pub style restaurant with a vast menu. My husband and I wanted to try everything! I could not believe the options. I ended up with the baby face Nelson burger with a side of their creamy chicken veggie soup. The burger was to die for! The mix of the melted Brie cheese with the fig was just *chefs kiss* I devoured it. To wash it down had to try a Nevada brewed beer and went for the Able Baker mango he'd draft. So tasty and flavorful. My husband went with an original smash burger, and my daughter did the grilled cheese with fries. All were great. Service was fairly quick and they were very attentive. Definitely would come back if in town.

    Intro: On our way back to Phoenix from Vegas, we made a pit stop in Boulder City to grab lunch at The Dillinger. My friend recommended the spot and when I heard the name, it was all I needed to know. I'm a big fan of mafia/gangster movies. If The Dillinger doesn't ring a bell, it's time to do some research. Service (N/A): We got takeout so we only interacted with the staff briefly. They were quick and efficient in taking care of the bill and the food was ready when promised. No complaints. Ambiance (4.5/5): For a gangster-themed bar and restaurant, I had a certain perception in my mind of what it would look like. And I was on target. Some mafia-related pictures adorn the walls, wooden booths, and a small bar. Cool spot. Drinks (N/A): We got takeout so no drinks on this visit but they do have my favorite beer here, Delirium Tremens. Not a lot of places have it so two thumbs way up. Food (5/5): I love a good burger and The Dillinger specializes in burgers. I went with The Dillinger because hey, how can you say no to the name of the restaurant? Especially when you hear that it's a burger batty with brisket, bacon, and all of the fixings. This is a good size burger y'all that oozes with those good meat juices and sauce. The bacon is crisp. The bread fluffy. Everything comes together for an A+ burger. The fries were also great. Crisp. And a large portion. A better lunch than this would be hard to find for me. Overall: If I was living in Boulder City, I would be a regular here. We found free parking right across from the restaurant. If you're looking for a delicious lunch in a casual environment and you want to down a couple of brews, check out The Dillinger.

    a closer look at Baby Face Nelson

    The exceptionally fine weather spurred a trip into Boulder City for antiquing, art, big horn sheep watching, and admiring over-the-top Christmas decorations. But first, lunch at The Dillinger. Baby Face Nelson ($17.50): Hefty; the menu does boast of 1/2lbs patties. Meat doneness wavered between medium-rare (my request) and medium (restaurant default). Pretty juicy anyway. Toasted buns held together. The brie block was at a perfect melt consistency. I'd rather the arugula had fewer stems. Came with a tomato slice, lettuce leaf, and white onions on the side. Sweet Potato Fries ($2): An upcharge substitute for the standard included choice of fries/slaw/soup. Decent enough amount on the plate, most were crispy, a few softer, but all with fluffy interior, very tasty. Wasatch Brewery Apricot Hefeweizen ($7): Can, served cold with tab helpfully popped, plus a chilled glass. Value: Debatable. Prices seem high, but the burger at least was substantial. Atmosphere: Bank facade, bootlegger bar, tourist attraction. Tables were filled with used shells. Old-timey photos alongside colorful brewery posters on the walls. Music though was from the bygone classic era of MTV. Service: Super friendly and attentive from Adrai and Jacob. etc There was a 4% additional fee for credit card payment. I paid in cash.

    This was asked four years ago, so wondering if changed. Do they take reservations? Above on the Yelp page it says yes.

    Not that i am aware of, i just walk in.

    Is it recommended or do they take reservations for a Saturday night?

    They do not accept reservations at all. This is a very small place with limited space for eating and drinking.

    Such a cool little spot in Boulder City. We have been here a few times and the beers are good !…read more We sat on the patio which actually had shade . They are dog friendly as well .

    This has been a popular motorcycle stop for our group, and this past weekend I got the chance to…read moreride here with my husband. There's a decent amount of street parking, but we happened to ride in at a busy time and had to park around the back by Ace Hardware, which still was an incredibly short walk around the corner. These are undeniably my favorite smashburgers in the vegas area. These burgers have truly smashed, crispy edges. I don't remember the name of mine, but it comes with mushrooms and a garlic aioli, and I loved it. The fries were well seasoned but a bit soft - could have been crunchier. My husband enjoyed his classic smashburger and commented that the condiment balance on this was great (he's dealt with very messy/sloppy smashburgers from other places). The only word of note for the burgers - it didn't seem like there was any line, but we were told it would be 30 minutes for our order, which seemed a bit much, but I also understand it was just one individual in the truck. Actually on that note, I'm not even sure if the food truck has it's own listing, as it's Tacos and Burgers, or if it's a part of Beer Zombie... We also got the Dole Whip beer, which I think it their beer with lemon sour (?), I enjoyed it and found it refreshing, but once my husband said the aftertaste reminded him of the acidic aftertaste of vomit, I was ruined, lol. I did enjoy it before that! It's a beautiful hangout area with turf, lots of seating, and a water feature with some fish and a turtle (we spent our meal wondering how the turtle doesn't escape and explore Boulder City...) not a ton of shade other than the gazebo so on a sunny day it could be rough. Fortunately for us it was cloudy and actually windy.

We went into town with the intention of checking out Hangar 502 or Jack's Place for lunch last Sunday, but decided on Maxx's since it looked like our usual vibe. When we walked in, we were greeted by a beautiful black lab (Black Betty!), who belonged to one of the bar patrons, and found two empty bar seats at the very end. The bartender, Kristen, came over immediately for our drink orders and handed us menus, and after receiving our drinks quickly, then asked if we wanted to order any food. We placed our order with her and just soaked in the vibe. The bar was full with locals - which we LOVE - and Betty the lab frequently came by for pets, which I also love. Our food came out about half an hour or so after we ordered, which it totally fine (!!) as they have a very small kitchen, and while we didn't order pizza, we could smell pizza cooking, and it smelled amazing. Overall, Kristen was absolutely remarkable, attentive, and kind, we were very pleased with the service, loved mingling with the regulars, and will definitely be back. Thank you for an amazing first time experience.
