The Restaurant

Absolutly great breakfast! We stayed at the boulder dam hotel and had breakfast here. I had the biscuits and gravy and it was great. Eggs Benedict is also a good choice.

First time here and love this hidden gem. Everything is so fresh and made from scratch. And $ 5 mimosas to top it off. Ill def be a regular here

Came here for brunch with family.
We came after the breakfast rush.
Surprisingly delicious made-​to-​order breakfast items: pancakes, eggs, bacon, fruits, coffee, milk, juice. All Fresh.
Attentive and helpful staff.
Relaxing and quiet ambiance.
My family had a lovely dining experience.

Walked in, the sign said «seat yourself». There was a lot of open tables for four but there were five of us. We found a table for eight. It was dirty and had reserve signs. The VERY RUDE WAITRESS said «I just have to wipe the table». I said what about the reserved sign? She jerked the signs off and walked away. We waited by the table for about 5 minutes while she walked around waiting on other tables. (Never smiling at anyone she was waiting on) No one else came over to wipe the tables. No wonder there were lots of open tables!!! Should have been my first clue. We had to wait 45 minutes at the next place a block away! It’s not hard to make a breakfast place good if you have good service. I suggest this place get some better servers or at least a couple that can smile. The three I passed on the way in and out didn’t. Or at least a hostess with a smile.

In this day and age what decent restaurant refuses an alternate for carbohydrate? My dining partner quite sweetly asked for sliced tomatoes or for the waitresses suggestion in lieu of toast. Flat out refused!!!
There was no offer of an extra egg or even some lettuce! No effort on the waitresses part what so ever! Not even a «let me ask our manager!!! Nada blip… Nuttin!
I’m sure if the next table ordered Extra Toast they would get charged for it…
Coffee was just coffee! Their Orange juice tasted like the fresh squeezed elixir I buy at Whole Foods on special occasions!!!
Corned beef was rich and yummy!
Chicken fried steak surprises me each time I’ve had it! Breeding still crispy under a thick ladle full of piping hot gravy! Lip smacking good!

I ate breakfast here because it came included with staying the night at the hotel. It was a GREAT breakfast for being an add on to the room. I had an omelette made to order, hash browns and toast. The homemade salsa that was brought out was very good as well.

Excellent place to have a meal and a fresh salad! I had the Monte Cristo and my friend had the grilled cheese and salad! The salad bar was very fresh! Loved the cucumber dressing! The ambiance is historic and don’t miss the museum upstairs.

We had incredible service and a fabulous breakfast. I think they make the bestest corn beef hash I have ever had!
Loved the waitress! She was 10 point 10 in personality and service~
This place is a must if you are in Boulder City.

If you are passing through Boulder City, you must stop here for breakfast or lunch!
First, this place is historical hotel… totally cool! Our group of 7 sat in the sunroom. It was charming. The waitress was very friendly.
My dad was in the mood for breakfast and ordered the Chicken Fried Steak, eggs and potatoes. It was huge!!! He totally loved it and he is a very picky person!
My mom ordered the Cuban Sandwich with the fajita chicken soup. She really enjoyed her meal.
My husband also ordered the Cuban but he got sweet potato fries. The fries came with a spicy apricot dipping sauce. He said it was delicious!
Both Cuban’s came with a large dill pickle.
I ordered the Monte Cristo with the Fiesta Chicken Soup. My sandwich was HUGE… I literally had to smoosh it to even take a bite.
My kids had the eggs with cinnamon toast breakfast… and let me tell you… they are very picky eaters. They cleared their plates!
Our entire group was extremely satisfied with our food. If we ever drive through here again, we will stop in and eat here!
They had large portions for way good prices!

Ok, if you read my reviews you know I do not give 5 stars lightly. This place reminds me of what a «Real» restaurant is… remember those?! Before chains and fast food?!
It is sweetly elegant for a little breakfast and lunch place. The building is historical and gorgeous with high ceilings.
The waist staff are nice, the cooking is fantastic! Home made taste with a personal touch.
We had thus far: Blueberry pancakes (yummy!), Breakfast, Eggs Benedict, The Monte Cristo sandwich, Chicken Pie, Fish & Chips. We went about 4 times around our Birthdays… lol… Really it was that wonderful. They even have a soup and salad bar. The soup is homemade. And cheap board specials too (sign is on the register).
Much more quaint and yummy than other offerings. If you want to have a nice quiet meal with your family and to be able to hear yourself think without hearing 50 Cent rapping & blaring in the background I think this is the place to go! (No Offense to Mr Cent. I just prefer «dinner music» or nothing. ;P
Very charming, very sweet and worth the trip. And the taxes are included in the pricing so no surprises at the register… .) You know, when you forget about the cost of the tax and tip and then suddenly think «Oh, Man I should never have ordered that orange juice now I can’t pay the rent».)…
So go, enjoy! If you find it isn’t your thing you can at least relax and check out the sites.

Very friendly service located in historic downtown Boulder. Very inexpensive and good food. What more can you ask for. Inside Boulder Dam
Hotel

The food and service were excellent. My wife and I were just wondering around Boulder City. We were hungry. This is the first place we saw that looked welcoming. Outdoor seating. Salad bar. Good choices on the menu. I asked the waitress what customers thought of the fish n chips. I was surprised to see this on the menu in this desert town. But, she said people loved them. I ordered them and she was right. Amazing to get such top notch fish n chips anywhere.

THE RESTAURANT OF BOULDER DAM HOTEL
I enjoy dining in charming restaurants that are unique or historical serving decent food. Recently before Lake Mead adventures, I have stepped back in time to delight in having breakfast in the Restaurant.
The Restaurant is the eatery of the historic Boulder Dam Hotel. It is a historic landmark listed on the Register of Historic Places dating back to 1933. To give you an idea of its historic significance, they built it eight years prior to the Elite Rancho, which was the first luxury hotel built on the Strip. Famous guests that visited it include Bette Davis, Shirley Temple, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and Will Rogers. In recent times, when I had breakfast here, I was most likely seeing the exact dining room that the above celebrities saw. As soon as I entered the Boulder Dam Hotel from historic Arizona Street, and made a left by registration into the Restaurant, history overloaded the scences. I wasn’t in Vegas anymore.
This restaurant preserved in time is a sun room in the corner of the Boulder Dam Hotel. And this sunroom is two separate rooms that get a lot of sun that form an L around the kitchen. Both times that I had breakfast here, the custom was to seat yourself.
The Restaurant focuses on breakfast and lunch. Recently they have reopened a few hours for dinner on certain days of the week. The first time I dined here, I had the BLT. It was inferior to The Coffee Cup and Mel’s Diner. They were very stingy with the beacon to the point that I felt like I was eating an LT. I ordered it on sourdough bread but they served it on toast. The steak fries that came with it were quality. If it wasn’t for the historic environment, I most likely would of passed over the follow-​up visit for the Coffee Cup. But what a Big Dam Breakfast. This is what I had on the second visit. It was breakfast overload served on two plates. It included two large buttermilk pancakes, two scrambled eggs (you could choose the type), slices of beacon (you could get sausages), house potatoes with rosemary (you could get hash browns), and fruit. Now this was quality and quantity. They served water with the meal. And the coffee was allright. The average breakfast bill is between $ 10 to $ 15.
Just like in historical times, progress was on the slow side. Service was on the slow, yet friendly side. Plus the Waitress was on top of the coffee refills. Considering the Boulder Dam Hotel is a preserved building, it isn’t a surprise that a walk to the restroom is outside the restaurant and across the small and quaint lobby.
History does not have to end when you pay the bill. Upstairs from the Restaurant is the Boulder City and Hoover Dam Museum. It is $ 2 well-​spent on a quick history of Hoover Dam and Boulder City.
I recommend experiencing the Restaurant for its historical, unique environment and Big Dam Breakfast. It is a nice stop-​off on the way to Hoover Dam, Lake Mead National Park, or Arizona. You live once!

Finally Boulder City has another wonderful option for dining downtown. We have enjoyed The Restaurant inside the Boulder Dam Hotel for years for breakfast and lunch — it never disappoints. We have especially appreciated the very friendly and attentive service of the staff and the consistent attractive presentation of their tasty food.
This is the best value in Boulder City for a full plate of nicely presented, delicious home-​style food in a lovely and gracious setting. I had the turkey dinner, my husband had the battered fish. The portions for dinners were more than generous AND they include soup and salad bar! My soup was a hearty, homemade potato and the other option was chicken noodle. The salad bar is clean, nicely appointed with excellent, moist corn bread, plus many choices of dressing. The wines by the glass were a reasonable $ 4 — how can you beat that?
We were too full to peruse the dessert options, but I must say we were delighted and impressed with our dining experience! Highly recommended!
