Cottonwood Station

Eat Your Way Through the Southwest’s Most Picturesque National Parks | Eater Vegas

"A cozy, rustic-modern neighborhood restaurant with an outdoor terrace that takes advantage of cooler, higher-elevation temperatures; the breakfast menu is broad and scratch-made, from freshly baked cinnamon rolls and pancakes to burritos generously filled with eggs and potatoes, and a coffee bar keeps you fueled for a busy day outdoors." - Rob Kachelriess

The best dog-friendly restaurants and bars in Las Vegas | Eater Vegas

"This breezy cafe in the town of Blue Diamond makes for the perfect spot to refuel after a morning at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. The spacious patio overlooks the desert and provides ample fire-side seating for you and your dog. The restaurant serves pizza, paninis, and salads until 8 p.m. most days." - Janna Karel

Opening Set for Blue Diamond’s Cottonwood Station | Eater Vegas

"Opening this weekend, I see Cottonwood Station’s “eatery” aims to draw eco-tourists, day-tripping locals and provide a much-needed dining hub for its Blue Diamond neighbors. Created by Blue Diamond residents Steven Enger and Jody Lyman, the 1,980-square-foot restaurant with bar also features a 1,055-square-foot outdoor patio and is pitched as a gathering place for “a pint and pizza.” Already a popular destination for bicyclists and hikers, the interior’s rustic design includes a history wall documenting the origins of the small town. Located about 18 miles from the Strip, the menu includes coffee, teas and artisan pizzas, paninis, salads, espresso, wine, beer and cider. Launching Saturday, April 14, future hours will be 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily and until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday." - Bradley Martin

Cottonwood Station Eatery Almost Ready in Blue Diamond | Eater Vegas

"Planned as a casual, community-focused destination in Blue Diamond, this 1,980-square-foot restaurant with a bar and a 1,055-square-foot outdoor patio aims to open in mid-March and serve both locals and eco-tourists — particularly the area's many cyclists and hikers. Created by local residents Steven Enger and Jody Lyman, it will be open daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. (extended to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays) and offers coffee, fresh-baked pastries, artisan pizzas (backed by a recently delivered large pizza oven), panini, salads, beer, wine and cider. The space features reclaimed wood walls made from the original blue garages that once stood on the site and is positioned about 18 miles from the Strip as a convenient day-trip stop." - Bradley Martin

Blue Diamond’s independent cafe serves pizzas, paninis, and locally roasted coffee with Red Rock Canyon views. Covered by the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Thrillist for its role as the village gathering spot.
