After witnessing the stunning landscapes of Death Valley along with 48C heat (not to despair, it was 52C the week before), there weren't really many food options in the area. Even though we stayed at Stovepipe Wells, there wasn't a food option there other than the general store (I see now on Google they now have Toll Road restaurant which has remarkable ratings (4.8)), and so after considering instant food, decided instead to head toward the Saloon.
It's part of the "town" complete with accommodation, usually some other restaurants (closed due to Covid/quietness) and some tourist shops. The Saloon itself had some nice character with a lot of wild west memorabilia and some animal heads/skulls. What was also head-busting was the prices - assumably a mark-up given there's no other options than to hunt your own desert food.
Luckily we weren't too hungry or would have shelled out USD58 for the ribs. Instead we ended up with the Borax Team Chili in a bread bowl USD16 and Kale salad (Tuscan kale, roasted brussel sprouts, goat cheese, dried cranberries, red onion, pepitas tossed in a house made maple mustard vinaigrette) USD15. Adequate, expensive and a little small for the price but they are listed as entrees I guess.
Hopefully no need to eat there again!
