Love this local favorite! Its been here for decades because of the awesome quality! I have come 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 win!

Since 1949..........are you kidding? There must be only a dozen restaurants across America, in small towns, that are even 25 years-old, let alone 72 years! Hahaha....I rolled into Las Vegas late one night and searched up and down the strip for a motel room. Couldn't find a single one in July.2021. Of course I did have special needs: my 10 1/2 year-old companion, Raji, a 120 lb. Rottweiler. I needed a dog-friendly motel. Luckily, when I was about to hit the road and just continue driving to Raton where I usually stay at my favorite motel, the Robinhood Motel, I stopped by the Budget Inn and met Jay, the reservationist. Cool as Paul Newman in his famous role, Jay smiled, welcomed me and Raji, and I had a room. Better than that, I asked is ther anywhere in Las Vegas that I can still get a quick meal other than the usual chain fast-food places. Jay explained that the bar next door was associated with The Hillcrest and was still open for another 35 minutes. I walked over to nirvana and had a beer and wonderful chicken sandwich at the bar. So nice........... The Hiilcrest is a unique place. Next visit, I'll eat in their dining room, a special place that looks like Audy Hepburn or Spencer Tracy might walk in at any moment. At least I will and shall eat happily waiting for the ghostly guests to show.

Very friendly service. Quaint place. Food was pretty good. I had patty melt, fries..husband had tamales which he reported were very spicy but he opted for the spicier ones without knowing that.
