Rating steady at 3.6 stars over past 6 months. 18 new reviews this month with improved food quality mentions.

Amazing. Haven’t even tried the food but the view of the bridge and dam (literately from our table) will most likely influence our review. I mean if we could give the atmosphere 10 stars we would. Here goes….busy busy (it’s spring break), but the coffee is great. We also jumped right to lunch so, the hot dog was great. I think it was definitely worth the price even though it want that expensive. The club sandwich was a 10/10. The meat tasted fresh. The strawberry banana smoothie was also great. The people working in the kitchen seemed a little cranky but the janitor guy was really great. He actually seemed like he likes his job and he was very personable. Overall a pretty dam good place to have food (get it?).

The Hoover Dam Cafe is a charming place to unwind after exploring the Dam. I chose a cappuccino made from a push-button machine. While it wasn't extraordinary, it was still quite decent. What I enjoyed the most was the gift shop, which offers a variety of Hoover Dam-themed merchandise. I picked up some stickers to embellish my water bottle. It's definitely a spot worth visiting, even if you don't make a purchase.

Jenna McVicker

They do a really solid job for what it is, a convenient stop right at Hoover Dam. We tried a chili cheese dog, a hamburger, and a club sandwich. The chili cheese dog was my favorite of the three. The hamburger was legit too, thick and satisfying, honestly felt closer to a third-pound burger than a quarter-pound. The club sandwich was the weak point, but the thick-cut applewood bacon definitely helped redeem it. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. After doing the dam tour, especially if you start early or have kids with you, you will be hungry. This place works perfectly for a quick lunch or snack without having to leave the area. For convenience, attitude, and solid comfort food options, it earns a strong recommendation.

We got a Crispy Chicken Wrap, and Fish and Chips. The food was delicious. Very fresh. Fries were amazing. The fish was well seasoned. The wrap was great. Only thing was that the food is a bit expensive. 16 bucks for 1 relatively small plate. The wrap didn't have much chicken in it.
