| - If I am looking for a burger place in Boulder City then I head toward the dam for a Pit Stop. Bad a bup (restroom is for one and clean FYI). But seriously, they are right by the busy intersection of BC. Its quite busy at dinner time too. Locals love the place as much as the rest of us. It's a very tiny place but they serve big tastes. We are part of a Jeep group. (Being Asian I drive a Toyota in there. Reliability damnit!) After mudding through the flat beds near Nelson we came here for lunch. Everyone ordered the Pit Burger. Some had beers for lunch, which they have. For us light weights, the finest Coke on tap was ok. Free refills here FYI. The burger is cooked right and the fries are generous and crunchy. Honestly, I can eat two. With the distance it takes to get here, I probably should've. The burger is not greasy and it has a nice char to it (weird guy in a plastic King outfit need not apply here). I skip the special sauce which is usually Thousand Island (where did they get that name? Seriously, that's a lot of islands. And why did they go around making salad dressing, in an island? As perplexing as why there are Chickens in the Sea to me.) Tidbit, you can ask and get the onions grilled as well. The chili fries tastes awesome and it's served on a plate with plenty of chili and meat. You have to eat it with a fork. This place has been here for as long as I can remember. There used to be another burger place that was just as good but served theirs differently. Starburger but alas they went Supernova and no longer here (it's replacement is not it, trust me) There used to be a 50s diner here that served food from the 50s and had decor from back then, it's gone too. But still standing here, is the American burger plain and simple @the Pit Stop. Service is always fast and friendly. So if you are on the way to Hoover Dam, milling through the old town, or went wandering away from the casinos, I recommend this place.
