Hillcrest - Las Vegas

We came to dinner during our Route 66 road trip (tour to Las Vegas). What a cool place... a real repulsion to my childhood. The food was good and the service was friendly. Great retro place to experience dinner like your parents or grandparents once.

Since 1949... are you jokes? There must be only a dozen restaurants all over America, in small cities that are even 25 years old, let alone 72 years! Hahaha... I rolled one night in Las Vegas and ransacked the strip for a motel room. I couldn't find one in July.2021. Of course I had special needs: my 10 1/2-year-old companion, Raji, a 120 lb. Rottweiler. I needed a pet friendly motel. Luckily, when I went to the street and went on to Raton where I usually went to my favorite motel, the Robinhood motel, I stayed at Budget Inn and met Jay, the Reserveist. Cool like Paul Newman in his famous role, Jay smiled, greeted me and Raji, and I had a room. Better than that, I asked everywhere in Las Vegas that I can get a quick meal, other than the usual fast food chains. Jay explained that next door the bar was connected to The Hillcrest and was open for another 35 minutes. I went to Nirvana and had a beer and wonderful chicken sandwich at the bar. So beautiful... The Hiilcrest is a unique place. Next visit, I'll eat in her dining room, a special place that looks like Audy Hepburn or Spencer Tracy could start at any time. At least I will and will be happy waiting for the spooky guests to show.

The baked lasagna was amazing as well as the tuna melt! Ashley is the sweetest girl! Be sure if you come to this place that you understand they are short staffed but they work very very hard and they're very good at what they do.

Oh, my! Pulled into this little jewel. Was immediately greeted by a very nice lady. She told us that it will be a little longer than usual waiting due to lack of personnel. We liked to wait. I'm glad we made it! I'm a taco lover....never heard of burnt cheese tacos... my taco life will never be the same. You're AMAZING! Our whole food was great and the kindness of staff and other customers was amazing. If we ever find ourselves in Las Vegas, NM will be happy to return!

Love this local favorite! It has been here for decades because of the great quality! I came here since I was a little girl! The service is not only wonderful, but they treat you like family!! Family owned and operated. Support Local!! Eat delicious food!!! Win!
