They had the sweetest service ever out here! Let us split our fruit pancakes (which were super super fluffy—you won’t find pancakes like this at iHop) into two plates AND gave us extra strawberries on top of that!

Certainly make it a point to stop by Crowbar Cafe if you are anywhere in the area- granted, restaurant options are very limited in Shoshone or Death Valley, but regardless this is a great destination in itself. This place oozes Western ambience, charm, and history; they have an incredible outdoor seating area hemmed in by historic buildings that looks like it hosts wonderful live music/similar events in the evenings. The food menu is the basic American fare you'd expect (I would think most come here for drinking anyways) - it definitely didn't disappoint though. Crowbar has one of the best reubens I have ever tried. The portions were very generous and the prices here are reasonable especially considering how remote it is. Additionally, the service here was excellent. Definitely be sure to stop on by!

Whenever I pass through Shoshone I like to stop at the Crowbar. Great food... especially their breakfasts. Fun atmosphere with colorful locals popping in and out as well as travelers to and from Death Valley.

An oasis after driving from Death Valley National Park to Joshua Tree. We had been driving for an hour in the dark, not really sure when we would hit a town when we came across this great place. The staff was amazing. Very helpful and friendly. Fun atmosphere and good food. A great find in literally the middle of nowhere.

Let me just say, this place is AWESOME! Definitely a must stop especially if you're passing through on your way into Death Valley. The food here is excellent, the service even better and super friendly and what can I say, they have beer, whiskey and more at the bar! While they do have a cafe style restaurant section on the north side of the building, we chose to dine and imbibe on the saloon side and at the bar and mainly because it's way more fun. On our last visit, my wife got their grilled cheese sandwich, our friends got a cheese burger and I got a BLT that was outstanding. I mean really, the bacon was cooked perfectly and it was simply delicious. While I got potato salad that was just as good, everyone else got fries which were nice and hot out of the frier and we had a Stella to wash it all down. Of course, the atmosphere of the place is exactly what you'd expect to find out in the desert and it's perfect. And, I should note that they made some nice improvements to the inside since our last visit about a year ago and even the restrooms have been updated. I would highly recommend you visit this establishment if only to see how cool it is. Be sure to read up on the history of this place and check out all the cool stuff outside as well.

We stopped here for a quick beer break and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The restrooms were spotless, which was a nice bonus during a road trip. It’s a great little stop to refresh, relax before continuing our journey. Simple, clean, and convenient — exactly what we were looking for.

A very small time feel diner. I walked in the cafe and was greeted with friendly service. I had the cheese burger and coleslaw. The burger and juicy, buns toasted just right. Coleslaw was fine. They have free Wi-Fi here -- huge life saver because I had both T-Mobile and Verizon, and neither of them had coverage in Shoshone. I'd say the prices are where I'd expect for a small business. Definitely a good spot to eat while your electric car charges next door.

I love these roadside cafés. It’s where you usually find the friendliest people in the best food. My first visit was for dinner and I got to say I was disappointed in the ribeye steak. Returning the next morning for breakfast was a much better experience. The food is plentiful. The coffee keeps coming and the price is very reasonable. If you have occasion to stop there, don’t forget to pay a visit to the museum right next-door.

Nothing bad but nothing great! We ordered salmon with Mexican rice and a hamburger. The rice was too wet, and both the salmon and burger patty were too dry. But on the bright side, the beer was great! There was plenty of tea and honey too. If you see this review, please come over for dinner or prep your food before entering the area. It was super windy at night, and we couldn’t even camp outside. Thank goodness for our laziness!!

We came here, pretty hungry, after spending the day in Death Valley. Call this a captive audience meal as you don't have much to choose from in the desert! After a couple of expensive Coor's Lights, I had the dinner salad (good) and the Rattlesnake Chili (bad). Was hoping for something with a kick or spice level, but it tasted like canned chili from Dollar Tree. Really not good. Avoid. Her Fish Tacos were decent so you may want to pick and choose. Our server, Rachel, was new and couldn't really help us out on the menu. Hey, gas station across the street and a bag of chips saved me in the end!

Was staying at local hot spring resort nearby & Area has limited food choices. Placed the order of a Club burger and Double cheeseburger with fries over the phone. Order was ready on time. No Condiments for burgers were placed in bag as promised over the phone so be sure to double check your takeout order. Fries tasted like they have been marinating in a bowl of grease all day, instant regret of not having ordered coleslaw instead. Both burgers lacked the condiments so it was bare buns. Meat patty was bland, paid an extra $5.50 for the extra patty in the double. Overall, one and done eating experience. I'll drive a little further for better eats next time I visit.

Food safety issue. Keep driving. You literally need razor sharp teeth to bite into a Reuben. The meat was like trying to bite into a leather belt and not edible. The slices of meat were mostly fat. It went straight to the trashcan. The french fries, while freshly cut, were cold and limp when served. The Club Burger tasted like a frozen patty and didn't have bacon on it, which is what they advertised in their menu. The potato salad had way too many onions in it. Not my jam. The staff seemed frazzled and overworked, and the kitchen was slow to make orders. I was told 20 to 25 minutes for a takeout and it was over 45 minutes before my food was served. I ordered straight off the menu, no special requests.

My poor friend has been vomiting all night with food poisoning and both of our dishes were massively undercooked. I couldn't finish my fish because it was clearly dangerous. We weren't offered any reduction of our bill when we complained to the waitress, and when my friend was being terribly sick in their bathroom I had to pursue higher management to finally adjust the bill. However they did finally give us a reduction. Yet, my friend is still throwing up violently and I feel so sorry for taking him here.

One of the worst experiences I've had in a restaurant. Service was atrocious. Waited over an hour for our food. Having a big top table does not mean you can ignore your other customers. When I asked for something taken off the order I was talked down to and told everyone is waiting for food, my server is new and doing a great job. Then why did she have to take our drink order twice?

We were at this restaurant yesterday. Came in and waitress was not very nice from the beginning. Wife ordered nachos, cheese and chips only. They came out with onions and waiters caught it and took it back before even setting it on table. Shortly after the plate came back and there were still onions on it. Wife sent it back and I watched three grown adults with no gloves trying to pick the onions off the nachos to send back. I had to tell them that we would prefer a new plate. Place was very expensive, food was subpar, and after watching them pick through the nachos I wouldn’t recommend this place to a dog. Stay far away.
