You never expect to find good food like this in the middle of nowhere in a little shack of a building. Book RSVP way in advance they only have 6 tables, which are always full at 6pm seating. It's one of the best steaks I've had anyplace, and we are going back again to try more of the menu.
If i could give Eric, Joe and Ruel 10 stars i would but the booper machine only allows for 5. As a former member of the community and the previous manager of the hotsprings, brewery and BBQ down the way, i wanted to get my stars in. Eric has established over the last decade a complete package for anyone who is looking for an exceptional 5 stars experience. Eric,my friend, you can cook AND I THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BEING KIND TO ME AND NEVER LYING TO ME. I APPRECIATE HONESTY AND IT WAS A REFRESHING QUALITY, even if i didnt want to hear it. Thank you for being you. And then theres, Joe, who also can throw together an awesome breakfast and ALWAYS MADE ME LAUGH. Nothing like great GREAT POSITIVE VIBES PLUS A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE TO START YOUR DAY. other spots were a bit TOO DRAMATIC for me, so it was so nice to have this POSITIVE PLACE TO GRAB A BITE and a CUP OF JOE. (NO PUN INTENDED..LOL..OKAY MAYBE A PUN OR 2) THEN, Ruel!! What can be said about Ruel beside HE RULES! He is always there to makesure all is right in the world and FYI, THIS MAN can cook too. Fire i speak from experience. He is a chef amomgst chefs foresure. And i learned so much from him. Unforgettable. Also, i apologize i believe the other gentlemen who helped as well but i am not exactly keen on him i believe its Brandon. Who helps around there as well. I hope i didnt forget anyone but if you know me well enough i probably did and if so my sincerest apologize to anyone else i forgot. So if you are lookimg for a fine dining steak in the middle of death valley look no further. Tecopa has it. PLEASE REMEMBER THOUGH YOU ARE IN THE DESERT WE ALL TRY OUR BEST THESE PEOPLE WORK AND LIVE UNDER EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS AND AN ISOLATING PLACE. BE PATIENCE BE NICE AND ALWAYS FOLKS FOLLOW THE SIGNS AND DRINK WATER. ITS CALLED DEATH VALLEY FOR A REASON. LOVE U ALL BE WELL AND BEEE SAFE

Do you like Steaks?? How about Beer?! Not only is their entire dinner menu absolutely amazing but their breakfast absolutely blows you away..if you are in town - Go! Now!
My husband & I absolutely loved this place! Best steak we've had in years! Service was outstanding & just an overall good place to eat. Joe takes great pride in his work & he made my husband's birthday memorable! I suggest making a reservation because it is a small place but so worth the drive.

Unexpected gem in the desert!! Small, friendly, best steak I’ve ever had!!
Outstanding gourmet steak dinners and in one of the most unlikely places you'll ever find. Pricey for sure but absolutely worth every penny and tastier than a lot of high end restaurants I've dined at in Vegas or anywhere really. You should be warned that the ribeye is enormous and if you can find the room in your stomach, the 5 course meal is the way to go. If you can only handle a smaller meal, get the 6oz filet as it's more reasonably sized and something most people can finish. The date cake is a must for desert too. I should note that they did move to a bigger location by the hot springs (this as opposed to the old cabin and deck on the edge of town they got started in) and that does make it easier to come with friends. Of course, it still has the same kitchy feel and that's a big part of what makes this place so much fun. I highly recommend this place for anyone coming to the hot springs or even to Death Valley.
Vegetarian options: This is NOT a place to come if you're looking for a vegetarian option. The menu even states as much.

Steaks & Beer is consistently amazing! Food is perfectly seasoned, steak is always spot-on. I am only holding back one star because of the wine selection - I would like to suggest to Chef that he consider Spanish Rioja/other Spanish reds, they are inexpensive and Tempranillo pairs like a dream with beef. (The Mark West Pinot is full of additives.) Highly recommend this spot on your next visit to Tecopa!

We love this restaurant, it is a gem! We love the breakfast and dinner. The steaks are better than Las Vegas' steakhouses. The date dessert, the veggie omelet...The chef personally welcomed us when we returned, we felt like family.We look forward to returning.
We absolutely love coming to this place. The staff are incredible and friendly and the food is better than a fancy Vegas restaurant.It’s obvious that the chef and his crew take pride in what they do.There’s even breakfast which is next to impossible to find in Tecopa. And it’s delicious ?Sorry about the half eaten breakfast. We thought to take pictures after we’d eaten it ??♀️Do go! You won’t regret it!

this place is such a wonderful find. If you are a meat eater, you cannot go wrong. The menu is simplistic. But the food is stellar. The chef comes out and actually takes your order. the chef has a wonderful guy who is the host. Just perfect combination. We feel very fortunate. We got to eat there for two nights in a row.
