Iron Rail Café

They took out the delicious prime rib special and replaced it with a T-​Bone steak special. The steak was thin and dry yuk,. My husband had a hot turkey sandwich and the meat tasted like pressed turkey, not good. Service is still good.

I ordered nachos, ground sirloin, which came with choice of salad or seafood bisque. The nachos tasted like dog food. I told two waitresses this, but they did not seem to care. It was not comped or replaced, no solution was offered. The best thing about this whole experience was actually the free seafood bisque.

Didn’t have the pass that would get me the buffet for $ 5 so had brunch in the restaurant. Slow service but the eggs, bacon and French Toast were perfect and very inexpensive. $ 4.22 !

Great food. It, s like going back in time. Clean and the staff is very friendly
We had the ribeye and it was great.

This place is excellent!
I really love the midnight special that’s $ 1.99. This is the first special I’ve had where I really, REALLY enjoyed the bacon and sausage. The bacon was perfection: lots of flavor, crunch, and a little salty. Just perfect! We got both sausage and bacon accidentally on our order but the sausage was very good as well. It had a nice flavor. This breakfast seemed almost homemade! The hashbrowns were crispy and buttery and the toast was very good! I also tried the waffle and they gave me so much melted butter for the waffle that I was in waffle heaven! I’m glad I don’t live in Vegas because I would be eating this a few times a week!
I stayed at the hotel and I tried several specials over the days. I got the stroganoff, meatloaf, and ground sirlion. I enjoyed everything but the ground sirlion has a special place in my heart. I love beef ground with gravy and potatoes and thisplace makes it the best I’ve had out. The patty was perfectly seasoned and I even loved the veggies! The only thing I wished I had was an extra scoop of potatoes but it is a good value. The ground sirlion meal is the ultimate perfect comfort meal to me. I had a slice of chocolate silk pie to go with the sirlion and it was really good. It had a nice chocolate flavor with a good crust.
I loved loved loved the stroganoff and meatloaf because everything was seasoned perfectly. These two were daily specials and you seemed to get a lot more food than was on the menu. I would have never guessed I would find a 5 star café by the railroad!

Very good Prime Rib tonight. I was pleasantly surprised. The people were very friendly. I would recommend this place for a reasonable good dinner.

Prime rib is very good. But order rare if u want medium rare. Kitchen tends to over cook a little bit. Other than that really good prime rib. Everything is low priced but good. Chocolate cake is ridiculously delicious. As far as ambiance goes not much to see. Casino has historic value (there is tiny museum inside of casino) only casino still using same gambling license from early years

If you’re staying at the hotel, this is your best bet for food. The prices are fair, the food is okay (depending on what you get), but the staff leaves much to be desired.
I’ve eaten here twice.
My eggs were cooked properly, the hashbrowns were good.
French Toast was frozen in spots, and I don’t eat meat so I asked for an egg instead of the sausage and they said no way.
Overall the food is decent enough, I was just really disappointed in the service.

This place is amazing! The prices are amazing for how big of plates are. The food was amazing and so was the service. If I’m ever back here I’m definitely going to come back. A must try for anyone looking for great food

I’ve passed this place many times on the way to Hoover Dam without stopping. Shame on me! Our recent visit to the dam to take first timers included looking for a breakfast spot. Rushing out to beat the heat, we realized we had passed all of our standards! No fear as I was hoping to take them at some point to a «days gone by» Vegas eatery! This is one of those! Crossing the mountain range, with Vegas no longer visible from your rear view mirror, you come across a relatively small truck stop casino. Not much money has been reinvested into the décor, but that makes it even cooler! All the way in the back sits a small coffee shop that serves an amazing breakfast! I had the two eggs, bacon/​sausage, two slices of French toast meal that was absolutely a good meal! I might have payed $ 6 for that? The sourdough toast was fresh and amazing! We also had the 8oz NY strip with eggs, hash browns, and toast for $ 8! The walls are covered with photos of Vegas from the 50’s and 60’s as well as the construction of the Dam. Do as this southern gentleman did and step back in time for a quality, cheap, and nostalgic meal at RR Pass!

My Husker buddy took me here, I had the chicken fried steak, because the server said he was addicted to the gravy (a tad over weight) …it sold me, they invented a 5^th food group. Now back to my room to luffa my stretch marks. Enjoy.

We stop by this restaurant every time we visit Vegas. My kids love to get Shirley temples and the waitresses bring them crazy amounts of cherries! I didn’t have a burger but those in my group said they were wonderful. Always pleasant service and good food. It’s definitely a place we look forward too each trip.

This is THE BEST damn place to get a good burger! I pass this place at least twice a week, every time I look at it it reminds me of their fantastic food and service. I recommend The Iron Rail for one reason only…
FOOD!!!

Stopped in with the Zac M. and the boy to consume many a calorie before heading out to the River Mountain Loop Trail. Rail Road Pass is old school and damn if the IRC is not just as much! We sat at the counter. Awesome prices and great service!
The menu is full of selections. Breast fast is served 24 hours. The Rail Road Pass specials which are served 11 pm to 7 am are absolutely reminiscent of time long since past! They are as follows…
**Two eggs, two buttermilk pancakes, syrup & butter… $ 2.99!
**Two eggs, hash browns, hash browns, toast & jelly… $ 2.99!
Any special not with standing… you can order steak and eggs for $ 8.25!
Since there were no obvious specials, I ordered up a bowl of oatmeal, two eggs, two strips of bacon, and two pieces of French toast were happily substituted with two pan cakes. Water and coffee were my beverages of choice. They never made it half full before they were refilled again.
The Boy ordered a chicken wrap and fries and raspberry iced tea. His meal was wholesome. His tea never maybe ran ¾ before it was filled again.
Zac M. had spaghetti and meatballs with a salad. He seemed satisfied.
The service was on point and everyone seemed to work well with on another. Our busier kicked ass!
When out exploring this part of the valley or punching out of Nevada, I would happily stop here again for a solid meal!

My honey and I passed thru Las Vegas almost every week and all summer I’ve been wanting to stop and finally we did and everything is at s reasonable priced next time I would like to stop in before the Buffet ends at 3pm

big portions at a good price ! The pancakes are very good and big. The biscuits and gravy were huge and really good. The service needs some work though. 4 of us ate for 20 bucks.

I’ve passed by the Railroad Pass casino for a long time on my outings to Boulder City. So this past Friday night Joel and I decided to take a chance on this little café.
The café is pretty old and has terribly uncomfortable booths. To me this only adds to the charm of the place. I feel transported back to the 80’s when my parents and I first moved to Vegas.
The menu has all the classic diner food you expect. On this night I knew I wanted Prime Rib. They run a special on Prime Rib for $ 8.95, but for $ 1 more you can get soup or salad with it. And I’m a total sucker for a salad! Joel went with the Southern Fried Steak with mashed potatoes and corn. He also ordered the soup.
Our food came out pretty quickly first my salad and Joel’s soup. The salad was actually pretty good! It had lots of fresh veggies and croutons which I always enjoy. Joel’s soup was almost over flowing with noodles and chicken. He said it had decent flavor. Nothing special. Next our entrees came out. Joel’s was filled with Fried steak goodness smothered in a white gravy. My Prime Rib was huge! It came with a baked potato and a side of corn. The au ju was a little salty, but the sour cream mixed with horseradish was perfect. The Prime Rib was cooked perfectly. It was so tender.
Normally we don’t do dessert, but Joel ordered their Strawberry Shortcake special. It was less then $ 2 and was covered in whipped cream and strawberries. Yummy! Super sweet. It was an excellent deal.
The staff is excellent. They made sure we were comfortable and happy. Our waitress also made sure I liked the doneness of my Prime Rib. Overall super good service.
I’m really glad we finally checked out Railroad Pass. The food was tasty and the staff was excellent. I’ll be back for breakfast and definitely more Prime Rib!

What we had were the delicious hash browns, they’re a thicker cut most places that serve you hash browns are the thin shreds of potatoes and ask for them a lil more crispy, makes em yummier. The French toast is good too not soggy just right for me I always douse mine in butter and jam. Biscuits and gravy were really good too.
Johno are server was great but the hostess was a lil sour.

Hamburger and fries — $ 4.99 or Prime Rib or Rib Eye for $ 7.95. Can’t beat that price, we stopped in on our way back from the Hoover Dam. We ordered the Rib Eye and the Prime Rib Drip, both were really good.
** SERVICE — The server who took our drink orders is a TOTAL BIGOT. The guy didn’t even look at us when we order our drink and took our order and just turned around and walked away, even while I was saying Thank you. A little later, the guy takes the order from the table next to us, they happen to be Caucasian, and he is talking to them asking how they are and saying thank you and being friendly, he was totally a different to person to them. The lady who served our food was very friendly, but I really hate when people are bigots. Just to let you know, we are an Asian family and live in California.
We did enjoy the food and will try this place, but if we get the same guy again, I will ask for someone else to help us and tell the manager.

Second time here, park away from the truckers. Service and food are ok-​good friendly staff. Had the 4.99 burger special, it was as expected a good quality burger. Fish and chips were crunchy and hot, seasoned well. Would come back.

When I dine in the Iron Rail, I am on the right track to value. The Iron Rail is the Railroad Pass’ s draw to get motorists off US ⁹³⁄₉₅ into the casino. Flashing signs advertise too good to believe restaurant specials. There is a $ 7.95 prime rib special and $ 1 strawberry short cakes. That is the tip of the iceberg of restaurant specials.
In my case, Railroad Pass lured me into the Iron Rail from the River Mountains Loop Trail. I try to support business parking lots that I use as trailheads. After three post-​hike dinners here, I am a fan. My meal of choice has been the $ 6.95 spaghetti with meatballs (not meat sauce). The portion is generous. Unlike the Grand Café, filler garlic bread is nonexistent. Also unlike many of the cafes, the meal includes soup or salad. The chicken noodle soup has been delicious. The cola is not flat. After the end of the meal, I usually drink a cup of coffee. The coffee may not be Starbucks, but it is good. All this food and beverage comes to approximately $ 11 before the tip.
The Iron Rail reminds me of a small diner staffed by friendly people. On all my visits here, they made me feel welcome. With a smile, they give me a choice of a booth, table, or counter. I choose a booth. Service is with a smile, but could be slow. After a day of hiking, I prefer not to be rushed. The ironic thing about this is that I am supporting MGM International Resorts instead of a small business.
When I exit the Iron Rail, I leave with the feeling that I was on the right track for a good meal at the right price. The Iron Rail will be a café that I will return to.
