Decided to leave Las Vegas for a little drive to Boulder City and eat at the Southwest Diner where we have eaten at least 10 times in the last 10 years. Love the quaintness and the local feel. Prices are always reasonable especially for a little tourist spot their prices are good for the locals. Couple months ago when we visited we saw the same health code violations as we experienced on this Sunday brunch Trip. Servwr a white male with a long beard who was at the bar wrapping silverware but we couldn't figure out what he was more focused on playing with his facial hair touching his face, mouth, nose or the silverware... it was a draw. Hand to beard ..flirt with the other server... wrap silverware... hand to mouth... talk to another server ...wrap silverware. When it came time to exchange money with another server touch the dollar bills ... laugh ... hand to beard wrap more silverware. It was pretty gross.
We did bring it to the attention when we asked for a manager, there didn't really seem to be one... no one knew who to ask to come speak to us. The burger was okay, u could tell it wasn't homemade. Justa frozen patty. Bathroom is disgusting. The picture ledge by our table caked with dust. You get the local joint feel, but restaurants when it comes to health code and cleanliness need to stop operating like a mom and pop.. I want my dining room and kitchen and health procedures to come first. It worries me when you glance into the kitchen what you might find. For that u get a one-star, freshness of the food unique flavor a two-star only because the chili was homemade. Price is very fair... 3 star. Atmosphere for a local Diner a 4-star.
