Crowbar Cafe & Saloon

Honestly, we were so thankful that we came to this place! It is fascinating with so much history and an old style American saloon inside with incredible decor. Our waitress, Brianna, deserves a shout out for being so fantastic, warm & approachable. We were concerned about our food allergies but she was reassuring and made us feel at ease when ordering. The chef was also super friendly. We were the only customers in here so it felt like a really personal experience which was really nice. The food was delicious and portion sizes very generous so make sure you’re hungry when you visit! Definitely worth a stop if you’re driving through (or staying at) Shoshone on your way in or out of Death Valley National Park. You won’t be disappointed at all. If we ever come to this side of the world again, we will be sure to stop here. Thanks so much for a great evening.

Certainly make it a point to stop by Crowbar Cafe if you are anywhere in the area- granted, restaurant options are very limited in Shoshone or Death Valley, but regardless this is a great destination in itself. This place oozes Western ambience, charm, and history; they have an incredible outdoor seating area hemmed in by historic buildings that looks like it hosts wonderful live music/similar events in the evenings. The food menu is the basic American fare you'd expect (I would think most come here for drinking anyways) - it definitely didn't disappoint though. Crowbar has one of the best reubens I have ever tried. The portions were very generous and the prices here are reasonable especially considering how remote it is. Additionally, the service here was excellent. Definitely be sure to stop on by!

Nothing bad but nothing great! We ordered salmon with Mexican rice and a hamburger. The rice was too wet, and both the salmon and burger patty were too dry. But on the bright side, the beer was great! There was plenty of tea and honey too. If you see this review, please come over for dinner or prep your food before entering the area. It was super windy at night, and we couldn’t even camp outside. Thank goodness for our laziness!!

Let me just say, this place is AWESOME! Definitely a must stop especially if you're passing through on your way into Death Valley. The food here is excellent, the service even better and super friendly and what can I say, they have beer, whiskey and more at the bar! While they do have a cafe style restaurant section on the north side of the building, we chose to dine and imbibe on the saloon side and at the bar and mainly because it's way more fun. On our last visit, my wife got their grilled cheese sandwich, our friends got a cheese burger and I got a BLT that was outstanding. I mean really, the bacon was cooked perfectly and it was simply delicious. While I got potato salad that was just as good, everyone else got fries which were nice and hot out of the frier and we had a Stella to wash it all down. Of course, the atmosphere of the place is exactly what you'd expect to find out in the desert and it's perfect. And, I should note that they made some nice improvements to the inside since our last visit about a year ago and even the restrooms have been updated. I would highly recommend you visit this establishment if only to see how cool it is. Be sure to read up on the history of this place and check out all the cool stuff outside as well.

Whenever I pass through Shoshone I like to stop at the Crowbar. Great food... especially their breakfasts. Fun atmosphere with colorful locals popping in and out as well as travelers to and from Death Valley.

Everything was just fine, breakfast was fast and cooked perfectly. The bartender / waitress was very kind and courteous. I'll be stopping in on my next trip to Death Valley. Update one year later and I'm thankful nothing's changed 👊 Everything was outstanding

They had the sweetest service ever out here! Let us split our fruit pancakes (which were super super fluffy—you won’t find pancakes like this at iHop) into two plates AND gave us extra strawberries on top of that!

We stopped here for a quick beer break and were pleasantly surprised by the experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The restrooms were spotless, which was a nice bonus during a road trip. It’s a great little stop to refresh, relax before continuing our journey. Simple, clean, and convenient — exactly what we were looking for.
