The Dillinger

Huge portions. Amazing food. Great atmosphere.

DELICIOUS!!!!

This place is great.  We were on a 3 week road trip during a major heat wave in the southwest a couple weeks ago.  Just to stay in a place with a/c (we had been camping), we ended up staying 2 days in Boulder City.

We were referred to The Dillinger by about 4 different people, and I love old 30's gangster history, so we decided to try it.

The front doors alone with shot buns for handles were the coolest!   Then we walked in, and it got even better.  It's dark inside The floors are dark brown, maybe black?  and the walls a charcoal grey.  Big photo of John Dillinger on the wall with a busted looking face.  the whole vibe of the place is great gangster bar, meets old west meets gastro pub.  It totally worked!!

I was craving a burger, and for some reason, I decided on a veggie burger.  BEst veggie burger i have ever had anywhere, hands down.  Sour dough roll, fluffy and not tasting processed like most burger joints.  I also got an apricot beer, cold and delicious after coming in out of the 112 degree day. $8 for the veggie burger, and a bargain at that!

My husband got the Capone.  Cheddar and jack cheeses, applewood bacon, special sauce and a fried egg.  $10.75.  He also got a PBR on draught.  I think he was channeling his inner hipster that evening.  He said the burger was delicious, and he menitoned it a couple times afterward during our vacation.

Our daughter got the chicken fingers and fries for $5 - As the menu says, child size, unless your child is huge....which she's not, so she had leftovers to take back to the hotel.

Cold beers, great burgers and a cool environment!  What else could you ask for?

They lose 1 start for slow service.  I'm not sure if it's because I am used to busy bay area service where they get you in and out quick, but it seemed like it took awhile for the food, and our beers were gone before the server asked if we wanted another...which we both did.  She kind of disappeared when we were going to ask her for the check as well.

But, the service was not slow enough that I wouldnt go back.  if we ever go through Boulder City again, you can bet we will stop by The Dillinger

This place is awesome ! Great food ! Always look forward to eating there
