Jack's Cafe - Amargosa Valley

Absolutely no flavor in either meal. Definitely not worth the price. They load up plates with crinkle fries in an attempt to compensate for bland food, I guess.

Info said they were open, apparently closes at 2:00 and reopens at 4:00. We got there at 2:05 and it was shut down. Their website says they have lunch until 4:00. Very few options in this area so ended up getting snacks at their store. Update your website!!!

We've been eating at Jack's on a fairly regular basis for the past two years. The food was well prepared and occasionally we would see the chef talking with patrons about the food. About a month ago we noticed a change. The quality and taste seemed to be going down. Yesterday, after my chili cheese burger that I ordered medium rare was burned to a crisp we asked the waitress if there was a different chef. She said there was and that the previous chef had left in October. A sad day for Jack's and we won't be returning.

Didn't expect much given the remote location, but we were quite satisfied. We had breakfast here on a Saturday while staying at the hotel. Breakfast burger: 4.5/5. Fresh vegetables and egg really good, with well seasoned hash browns. Spanish omelette: 3.5/5. Needed some more seasoning but overall solid. Toast came pre-buttered and was good. Coffee: 3/5. It was standard and inoffensive. Service was a little slow but very warm. The mountain views outside through the glass walls were great. Tables had hot sauce on the ready. Thank you for your hospitality!

Dining options are limited when visiting Death Valley National Park particularly when the restaurants inside the park are closed or have limited hours due to Covid. Hence, we ended up here. Either due to popularity and/or lack of choice, Jack's was full Monday at 7:00pm on the night prior to us having breakfast. At 7:45am, people were already waiting for breakfast an indication that the restaurant should open earlier than 8:00am. We too, were there when they opened and breakfast took a lengthy hour which is too long to get cold hash browns, burnt toast with a scoop of whipped butter mashed in between, and tough eggs in an omelet with unevenly distributed ingredients. Additionally, the food was not seasoned. Beware of the screwball pricing where coffee is $3, a side of toast is $3, and an English muffin is $4, but a side of potatoes is $4.
