Obviously a lot of thought and caring goes into everything at this place. The food was very good as was the service. If I lived in Boulder City it would be a regular stop.

Will never come back here again. The food we decided to order was burnt and disgusting. They charged us $ 4 for a tiny cup of soup instead of waiving it for the inconvenience. Then after that, we could plainly hear them talking about us from the kitchen. Heads up… when you’re in that tiny of a building and there’s nobody else dining in, don’t talk crap about your customers.

Nice wait staff super fast food but it wasn’t very good. And the coffee tasted burnt and old. They seem to rush you they want you out right away. The food was room temp not hot and I didn’t like their version of potatoes. I won’t go back

Awesome find for us in Boulder City. We were not eating bread of potatoes, so no comment on them. However, everything was awesome. From the greeting, service and staff. Amazing bacon and food as well. Loved their coffee cups so much we got two.

Don’t come here. People are assholes. The hash browns look and taste like raw fettuccini noodles. If you don’t want hash browns they will offer you a side of tomatoes… No one cared or apologized that I was leaving unhappy.

I ordered a patty melt, simple right? Not at this place. When the server asked me if everything was ok, I said no. I then showed him the inedible burnt micro discs of what might have been hamburger patties. He then said, «Oh, a little too well done for you»? Shocked by this I replied that it was was burned and inedible. He repeated the well done comment and I repeated that it was inedible. He then proceeded to walk away. I thought he would take it off the bill, but no, all $ 10.00 was still there. I didn’t say anything because I was with a group of family members and they were paying but if you want to eat in a clean, upstanding restaurant — save yourself some trouble and skip this place. See above burnt offerings

We accidently stumbled onto this place when driving back from Vegas and boy am I glad we did. Small, Charming, Quaint. Coffee was superb and served in cups that resemble plant pots. Iced tea was stellar and served in mason jars(Texas style) Chicken fried steak was cooked perfectly. I ordered the gravy on the side with fried eggs, white toast and potatoes. Food was served promptly. Everything was hot and delicious. This will be our normal stop every year when we go to Vegas.

Michele was a fantastic server. We stopped by on way to Hoover Dam and were delightfully surprised by how fresh and home made the dishes were! Be sure to have the pie for Dessert.

We had a pretty good meal here after checking out Hoover Dam. We kept it simple with burgers and such. Food was good, and service was friendly. Our only challenge was if we asked for something, the server took off like a bullet without even asking if anybody else needed anything, and they did! So we felt bad asking for things. We could never finish the sentence of a couple things we needed. It was weird Besides that, it was fine and we worked it all out. The homemade guac was awesome! Food was fresh and hot.

I’ve passed this diner many times on the way to explore other hidden gems in Boulder City. However, this trip into BC was all about Southwest Diner and it’s delicious offerings. There is a small lot located behind the restaurant to park and we found interesting knickknacks and antiques throughout the interior and exterior of the space on our walk to and fro. This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating(complete with misters). It was pretty hot out, so we chose to sit indoors, but there were a few tables of diners enjoying their meals al fresco. We were greeted and seated immediately upon entering. The larger dining room was full, so we were seated in the smaller cash register side of the space. Seating is a little tight in spots at these 4 tables, but everyone was friendly. I even got some unsolicited advice from a regular at the next table on what to order. Side note, they have their full menu available all day, every day, so you can order pancakes for dinner or soup for breakfast if that’s how you roll. The diner does offer cocktails, but I ordered a very good iced tea in a giant mason jar and the BF got a coffee in the cutest flower pot style mug. He said the coffee wasn’t that great, so he switched to an Arnold Palmer after the first cup. But I bought a couple of the mugs for $ 10.95/ea because they were darling and will make nice Christmas stocking stuffers. For my meal I ordered the Chili Verde Omelet with«those potatoes» and the banana bread. The green chili was very good and the omelet had a nice mix of flavors. The potatoes, mixed with green peppers and onions, were good, but lacked salt. The banana bread was amazing! Moist without being oily, with big chunks of walnuts. Good thing you only get two slices, because I could have eaten the whole loaf! The BF ordered the Special #3: 1 egg, sausage patties, and pancakes and he added an additional egg for $ 0.50. I tried the plate sized pancakes and they were good, but the batter lacked something I could not pinpoint… maybe a splash of vanilla? I also picked up a fresh whole housemade triple berry pie to go. We had company for dinner and this made a perfect dessert. Everyone basically licked their plates clean. This thing was sooo sinfully delicious. I would definitely try their other pies on our future visits.

I have been getting together for lunch with a friend who moved to Nevada this spring. This time, I made the drive easier for him by meeting in his hometown, Boulder City, at the Southwest Diner. We were immediately greeted and seated. Our two iced teas were brought in alrge Mason jars and we began to talk about hikes and bike rides and dawdled with the menu. Our server came back for the order and we were at all ready. Time to get on task. When she came back the second time, we were ready to order. I went with the California sandwich which the menu describes as fresh turkey, bacon, tomatoes and cheddar cheese on grilled sourdough. It comes with a choice of sides and I stayed with the traditional French fries that I normally get. We didn’t wait very long when she came back with our sandwiches. I liked that the sandwich was made with pulled apart turkey rather than being made with some lunch meat turkey. These were serious pieces of cooked turkey. The sandwich was good. I was pleased that we had chosen somewhere different because I’ve been at another BC restaurant a whole lot of times and it was good to have something different to choose from. I like the bric à brac that decorate the walls to give it an old time look.

Homemade food with a very homey & cool atmosphere! Would you drive to Boulder City for some breakfast for dinner? I would! For starters Boulder City is only half an hour from the strip & sometimes it’s nice to take a relaxing drive. Sunday’s are perfect for a quick trip to the lake & downtown Boulder City! We’ve been coming to this diner for a few years now & it’s our favorite spot here. It’s our favorite because we haven’t tried anything else! I tell myself each time that we need to try something new & then we see the cool retro sign & can’t help ourselves! The décor is really special & it feels like you’ve stepped back in time, love it all! All of the servers are awesome & the food tastes great, very fresh & everything I’ve tried I’ve liked a lot! Let’s begin with a simple breakfast — everything is cooked to perfection & the banana bread is always fresh(off the hook). I’ve also tried the southwest potato pancakes that are very unique with an awesome kick & the BBQ roast beef sandwich on a French roll is to die for(comes with bomb curly fries). My man has had the liver & onions which he loved and steak & eggs. He’s also ordered soup a few times that come in cute little mason jars and all the soups have been great. Let’s not forget about the homemade pies here! Holy crap they are so good. We’ve had apple, blueberry & peach. They come out warm with ice cream. There’s something special about home cooking and they do everything right here. This place is a must if you’re ever in Boulder City! Almost forgot! They have salt scrub in the restrooms! They are always different & today it was coconut! It smells like heaven & leaves your hands feeling ultra soft. What a nice touch!!!

I love kitschy diners, and Southwest Diner has all the bases covered in that department. Adorable décor, super sweet waitresses and stick-to-your-ribs food is what you will find here. My first visit to to Southwest Diner was for dinner and to be frank, it was pretty unremarkable. I decided to wait until I visited a second time to post a review, and after having breakfast at Southwest Diner this past Saturday with a couple girlfriends, I have come to the conclusion that breakfast is what people should come here for. Southwest Diner serves up basic breakfast fare, as well as a couple daily specials. We decided to split two meals between 3 of us: The corned beef hash daily special which was good but not great. The waffle we shared was the star of the meal, perfectly cooked and fluffy, all three of us raved about how tasty that waffle was. We also shared some eggs, sausage and delicious homemade banana nut bread. Prices here are very fair for what you get. Southwest Diner is a solid choice for breakfast in Boulder City.

On a Saturday myself, Jessie and Ife all had a girls day in Boulder City. Ife had only been to BC a few times and had never been to SouthWest Diner. Jessie and I knew Ife would love their unique and funky vibe they have going on. Plus, their food is always tasty. It was pretty busy because it was prime brunch time, but we were seated quickly. No wait at all! We contemplated sitting outside on their patio since it was such a nice day, but we wanted Ife to see all the cool antiques they have to look at inside. I love that their cold drinks come in mason jars and their hot beverages come in clay flower pots with handles. Southwest Diner also always has specials on their chalk board. They always sound good! All three of us wanted breakfast and since I can’t eat very much these days we all split two things. Which worked out perfectly! We ordered their breakfast special of the day which was Corned Beef Hash. It came with two eggs(which we ordered over medium) and hash browns. The second thing we ordered was their Waffles with a side of scrambled eggs and link sausages. We also had a side of banana bread. Our food was out fast and wow did we immediately dig in. So fast that we all actually forgot to take pictures!!! I had a taste of everything. The waffle was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. It was a perfect tasting waffle. They syrup! It comes in a huge kinda wine bottle. It’s serious stuff. The sausages were really good and not greasy at all. The Corned Beef Hash was a little burnt and lacked some flavor. I did enjoy that they had huge chunks of beef in it. You could definitely tell it was homemade. The banana bread was delicious! Mmmmm just thinking about it right now makes me want some. Our waitress was friendly and quick with our orders. I’ve always had excellent service here at Southwest Diner. Their menu is loaded with tasty items. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. They also have Bloody Mary’s and cold beer. Plus, I’ve heard they have pie that is a can’t miss. What a satisfying meal. The waffle was the best item of the day. Southwest Diner is one of my favorite spots to visit while in Boulder City. Make sure you check them out on your next visit.

When the Coffee Cup is packed, this is another great place for breakfast and lunch! Plenty of outdoor seating. The weather was great today, but we were hungry and didn’t feel like waiting for outdoor seating, so we ate inside. Lots of antique décor. If you need an escape from Las Vegas, you will feel like you have stepped back into time here. Also, their coffee cups look like planter pots. I had the lluevos rancheros and tried their belgian waffle. Both were amazing dishes. The lluevos rancheros had juicy tender pieces of pork carnitas with green chile verde sauce(or ranchero sauce), cheese, pinto beans, potatoes, and tostada. One of the best places to go for lluevos rancheros. Dog friendly on the patio. Their dishes taste like it’s freshly made. All of them. Even looking at the hashbrowns from the other table looks like it was freshly made. Great place for brunch prior to the Hoover Dam Tour. Also, check out the 1937 Ford pick-up on the side of the place.

Just because you’re famished, doesn’t mean you should ignore the reviews. Came to the Southwest diner after a long hike at Lake Mead and needless to say I was starving. I was greeted by the hostess and quickly sat down outside. The patio is here is solid for Boulder City people watching. I haven’t seen that many cowboy boots in a while. I ordered the, «Westerner» a basic pulled pork sandwich with barbecue sauce, pickles, and onions. I was offered the option of fries or cucumber salad. I opted for the cucumber salad, figuring why throw away a three hour hike for some delicious fried potatoes. The sandwich was ok, bread was soft and the meat was tender. I was upset by the lack of pickles, but I didn’t feel like asking the server for any, so I suffered in silence. I also didn’t like the fact that the onions were served raw. Come on, at least let him hit grill before adding them to the sandwich. When I saw the cucumber salad, it was a major WTF moment. I was expecting sliced cucumber with some, olive oil maybe vinaigrette, with salt and pepper. Nope, what I got was cucumbers swimming in mayo and vinegar. Seriously, why the hell would you do this to veggies. I did try one and it was gross. Mayo is just plain gross. Note to self: Next time order french fries. «Good service. Ok food. Southwest Diner». Boom, there’s their new slogan!
