Boulder City really does have that small town charm. The neighborhoods have homes with well manicured lawns and they are very quiet. Numerous parks dot the landscape and provide recreational opportunities. There are also many wonderful shops. Did I leave out something? Oh yeah, there are some wonderful restaurants to. Whether you are just passing through town on the way to Las Vegas or are staying somewhere nearby, try the great food that is made by the best restaurants in Boulder City. Here are the top five restaurants in Boulder City, Nevada:

1. The Coffee Cup Café

So where did the Coffee Cup get its name? Well, many years ago people would come to the Coffee Cup during breakfast or for their lunch break. They would bring their coffee cups with them and would end up leaving without them. Many would never end up coming back for them so the owners decided to display them and at the same time figured out what to name the restaurant.

The Coffee Cup has a nice small town restaurant atmosphere. Numerous memorabilia and pictures of past town events cover the walls and show some of our town's history. There are also many interesting paintings that cover the walls.

I must say that the Coffee Cup Café is one of my local favorites. It is a wonderful place to take your mother on Mother's Day, your father on Father's Day, or any other occasion you may see fit. The food is what one would term good all American food. There are numerous items to choose for breakfast. These include eggs with hash browns, the Boardwalk Sandwich, bagels with cream cheese, ham with eggs, French toast, and more. Lunch dishes include chicken fingers, hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and much more. This restaurant is not about fine dining but it sure has some wonderful all American food.

The Coffee Cup is located at 512 Nevada Hwy. in a premier location in downtown Boulder City near numerous shops and parks. The restaurant is open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. so get there early. Prices are very reasonable and run under $10. For more information, call 294-0517.

2. Toto's Mexican Restaurant

If you are in town, your stomach will not stop growling, and you have a hankering for some good Mexican food, Toto's is an excellent choice for food stop. This place really does have the real Mexican experience.

One walks through attractive wooden doors into a restaurant with a real Mexican atmosphere. Mexican music can be heard around the restaurant and the smell of the delicious food fills the air. The decoration of the restaurant gives it a certain appeal.

The menu at Toto's provides the most traditional of Mexican foods. Some of the great meals that come to mind are tamales, numerous salads, chimichangas, burritos, nachos, and rice and beans. My favorite dish at the restaurant happens to be the taco salad.

Prices for the meals run anywhere from under $10 to as much as $20. For more information, call 293-1744. It is located at 806 Buchanan Blvd. in Boulder City, NV.

Hacienda Steakhouse is one of the two fine dining locations in Boulder City. It is a truly wonderful place and the staff places the utmost importance on the customer. The design of the restaurant is attractive and the food is delectable. The restaurant serves some of the best chicken and steak dinners in town. I had their steak and I must say it was very tasty.

4. Grandma Daisy's

Grandma Daisy's is not a restaurant, but it is Boulder City's very own old fashioned candy shop. It looks just like the ones in the fifties and sixties. It has some wonderful candy, ice cream, and fudge. The choices include truffles, licorice, dipped chocolates, caramel apples, and salt water taffy. I must confess that I have a weakness for their milkshakes. If you go here, you will hit the candy jackpot.
