Muddy River And Grill - Moapa

Don't let looks deceive you, they are very much open, if you go at the right time! Even if this were not the only spot in town for breakfast, it would still be my go-to spot! In the kitchen Rob Is preparing the all the food fresh, and full of flavor. From the simple Muddy Breakfast (eggs, choice of meat, potatoes, toast) to the amazing huevos rancheros with Chile Verde, and everything in between, you can't go wrong. At lunch, the buffalo chicken tenders (which can also come in a quesadilla) are amazing! In the dining room, Sierra and the rest of the crew are just as amazing! Always quick with a menu suggestion, or a drink refill, and kind as can be!

We stopped here on the way to Vegas from Utah. It looks closed from the outside. Inside, the workers are friendly. The food is good and made fresh. A great slice of Americana! There are two entrances, pull into the driveway just past the building to avoid damaging the bottom of your car.

We tried to visit Muddy River Bar and Grill this morning in the way to Utah. Unfortunately, it was closed and looks to be permanently closed :

A good hearty breakfast was had this Sunday morning. Good coffee and service accompanied our selections of Huevos Rancheros and Country Fried Steak Eggs. It's always fun finding a good mom and pop when traveling. Can't beat comfort food with good portions to start your day.

When I hiked near here in the fall, the restaurant was closed. Being in the area to visit the Warm Springs Natural Area and the Moapa Valley Wildlife Refuge, we decided to stop here for lunch before heading back to Las Vegas. We enjoyed the murals on the west side of the building before we went in. We took seats and a server brought us menus quickly. She also took our drink order. We both decided to get the Muddy burger, an open faced burger topped with chili, cheese, and diced onion. With the burger, you have a choice of side. My friend got Cole slaw and I got fries. After a short time, the large plates arrived with a lot of food. The chili was very good and the burger was such a change from the normal cheese, lettuce, tomato and bun top. There is a bottom bun underneath the burger. I was certainly in carb city with all this. This was not the day to get dessert! I was full. Our server was one of the most pleasant persons I have had in a long while. She was just super. I wish I had gotten her name so I could give her a better shout out here. I first saw this small, older, country bar and grill the first time I was in this area over 15 years ago. It was a good stop after a busy morning of hiking and visiting interesting spots in the Moapa Valley area.
