For posts on various restaurants that I visited, go here.
Prologue: May 10th is National Small Business Day. One of those are these cute little mom and pop restaurants or locally owned cafes and dive-ins. This series brings forth those little nuggets of places that I visit for my meals.
After an entire day of going through Death Valley with no restaurants in sight, we were happy to see Crowbar Café Saloon in Shoshone, NV while returning back to that night’s accommodations. However, our spirits died down once we tasted the food. But no choice, so we ate what we could.
Verdictum: Ambience is great showing all the wild wild western vibes But food and service was less than mediocre. They are surviving only because they are the only restaurant for miles together in Death Valley.
Here are my 2 cents:
First Impressions:
Great entrance and ambience inside with all wild wild west vibes.
Only thing going with the restaurant was that it was established in early 1900s by Ralph Jacobs Fairbanks, an American prospector, entrepreneur, and pioneer; and his son-in-law Charles Brown. Their little claim to fame. In fact the town itself was established by them.
And this beautiful Mural on one of the walls depicting what could be the Badwater Basin with water. But not sure. These were the only ones going for the restaurant.
Amelioration:
Service was very mediocre. Reasoning they are under staffed.
Food quality was not great either, below mediocre
Prices were very steep for the quality of the food served.
