5 Best American Restaurants in Death Valley

“Came here for a brunch/lunch. I got the chilli and it was delicious and a large portion! I would definitely get it again. We sat outside and it was very peaceful and beautiful I loved it. We even saw a coyote! Service was great, and really the price wasn’t bad for the location and other factors.“

“Really solid meal at Badwater Saloon. The food took a bit longer than expected, but the staff kept drinks filled and made sure we were comfortable while we waited.

Everything we ordered was delicious. The pizza was well cooked with great flavor, the elk chili was rich and hearty, and the vegetarian pasta (we added chicken) was perfectly done and very satisfying. You can tell care goes into the food here.

Worth the wait for quality dishes, and we’d happily stop in again.“

“Great place to stop for lunch after a morning hike. We ate at the bar, which I love to do when traveling. Food was excellent, staff was great (look for Matt Damon’s brother). Prices seemed reasonable ($16 for a burger, $9 for a premium draft - Pacific Coast IPA). Decor is well suited to the area.“

“I have visited the Inn on multiple occasions to capture wedding photos! The major upside of staying here, regardless of the downsides, is just how close it is to the popular spots in the park. Other hotels are just not as close since everything outside of the park is far away. It's also a beautiful location with some good amenities. Just keep in mind that the park is still remote and this location can sometimes lose electricity. It's all a part of the fun!“

“We visited here during our American road trip all the way from Wales, UK. Oliver was absolutely amazing!!! Super helpful explaining the menu to us and got us our drinks really fast. The food was tasty and presented well. On top of serving their own section, I noticed Oliver supporting the rest of the team and helping them when they needed it. It was obvious that Oliver is very passionate about giving great service. We would definitely return if we ever visit Death Valley in the future!“
