When we were at a CVS in Henderson we asked the cashier to point us to a good breakfast place... He said that there weren't any (lol). We told him we were going to Hoover Dam and he said with that being the case we should get breakfast in Boulder City. He couldn't remember the name of the place but he said it was on some Food network show and it was on the main drag. With a little help from Yelp and Urbanspoon we assumed it might be the Coffee Cup--we were right.
Picture a busy diner that does everything exactly right (for a diner) Picture a diner with a super nice staff! Picture a diner with a full bar!!!! This place is a bit of a dive in the BEST way!!! Yes, dives can be a fun. It is not a "greasy spoon" the food was well cooked. I had a scramble and my wife their "small" budget breakfast, she liked it. My scramble was great and the hash browns were perfect, a little crispy just the way that I enjoy them.
They had a strong Bloody Mary which in it's own right would be a six on my 1-10 scale.... BUT.... With a piece of crisp bacon sticking out of it, it becomes an 11!!!
I talked with the owner and asked if that was their original idea... she said her husband came up with it. Some day when bars all across the country are putting bacon in their Bloodies, I hope this guy gets credit. (my friend invented beer pong and nobody seems to believe him). I already have a friend in SB who is going to steal it for his bar and we told him to call it the Boulder City Bloody.... maybe that will catch on.
