Badwater Saloon

Stopped by here after a long trip through death valley.They had a menu that featured a lot of cocktails and a selection of beer along with food. My friends ordered the steak n frites which were decent steak wise that was cooked medium rare. The fries were a tad bit soggy.I ordered the fish and chips and was told it was a good choice. I unfortunately found it disappointing. the fish wasn't as flaky more tender. The breading was a bit too bready and hard. The fries were also soggy and the tartar sauce could be better. I ordered their versions and old fashion and it tasted just like alcohol with hint of fruit flavor. There are TV's in the restaurant for sports and the seating is very flexible for where you can seat yourself but it can fill up very quickly.

For a place that is literally in the middle of nowhere, it's amazing! I am surprised that their food is good. Have a good selection of beer. Loved the elk chili. Chicken wings were the best, nice a crispy and well seasoned. Highly recommend if you're in DV. All the staff is friendly as they live on site. Can't beat the amazing view of the mountains.

Was hoping to find a sit down place to grab dinner after a long day of visiting the park and happen to come across this cute little place. While the wind picked up and cut our dune visit share, the saloon had several vegan options for the standard prices for the area. The service was good and the food portion sizes are decent. I got the peppers and was about to order a side salad but the server told me not too - she was right I had so much food and the salad would have not been eaten. The little place is cute and inviting. They checked in to make sure we were all good. They didn't rush us out when we finished. Over all a great experience.

An old school saloon inside a National Park, don't skip out on the vibes at Badwater while on your way to see the Mesquite Dune. Service was super kind and friendly--they offered us a high chair. We ended up grabbing a few items to go in order to have a picnic at the dunes and got a cheeseburger with the extra $7 for the double patty, which came in at $22. It was definitely a hefty cheeseburger. Nothing special, they definitely just use those cook from frozen larger 1/2lb patties, but they prepared it well.I'd recommend the cheeseburger and the fries were good! Mostly, just come for the saloon vibes. It totally feels like you're in some western when you're here inside the National Park!

Located inside Death Valley national park, grabbed take out here on the way to the mesquite sand dunes. The menu was very enticing so it was hard to choose but opted for the chicken wrap and my partner got a cheeseburger. I do love a bar that has a water cooler so you don't have to wait at the bar for water! The meals we ordered were served with a side of deep fried French fries and a pickle. I would definitely skip the wrap next time as I didn't realize it was chicken fingers more than chicken breast but the cheeseburger was pretty tasty. They had a vegan meatball sub which I would be curious to try for next time and also ice cream! The service was friendly and fast.

What a wonderful surprise! Our group of 7 had lunch after visiting Ubehebe Crater on our way out of Death Valley. They had a nice range of options including a vegan meatball sub sandwich which my husband deemed good (bread was a little too toasted which made it squeeze the meatballs out.) I had a bison burger with bleu cheese which was really delicious and the coleslaw was the way I like it - thick cut cabbage, creamy but tangy dressing. One of our group asked to taste the Bison chili which sounded great but he deemed it just OK. Everyone else was happy with their burgers and fries. The one person working was very helpful. I liked the vibe in here much better than the restaurant that is just next door. They also had no problem splitting checks thanks to a new POS that the restaurant manager was really happy to tell us about.

Good burger and fries, ambiance was really nice and service was good. It's a little expensive but the burgers are really big (most are 1/2 pound patties). Definitely worth a visit after exploring Joshua Tree.

Just so you know: as of Oct 3rd 2024, the kitchen is closed. They say it will be open in a few weeks, but right now there is a limited menu of cold cut sandwiches, salads, and a pizza.Service was really good though.

Nice people and solid food. Chill saloon vibe. It connects to Toll Road restaurant. We went at lunchtime on a Wednesday so not very busy, but I imagine it's fun at night.

Fresher food here! Excellent service and adult beverages (we didn't have any kiddos with us). Loved the bison chili and stuffed rellenos. Warmly welcomed and comfortable seating. We'd definitely return!
