PAHRUMP | BUSINESS BRIEFINGS

Comfort food & more coming to casino

A new fast-casual restaurant is expected to open this spring at Gold Town Casino, according to a spokesperson for Golden Entertainment, the casino’s parent company.

The Farmhouse Kitchen will offer “chef-driven, farm-fresh comfort food” starting at $10 a plate.

Guests will be able to customize their meals by picking a main dish, two sides and two signature sauces. A full menu, including farm-fresh seasonal salads, carved sandwiches and homemade desserts will also be offered.

“We are thrilled to bring another new dining experience to Pahrump with the Farmhouse Kitchen opening this spring,” said Eliot Ripoll, vice president and general manager of Gold Town Casino. “Their team aims to offer more than just comfort dishes, but also serve a selection of customizable classics with local flair. Whether you’re in the mood to create your perfect plate for yourself or enjoy a signature dish with the family, the Farmhouse Kitchen will satisfy all guests’ cravings.”

It will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The Farmhouse Kitchen replaces The Back Porch Cafe and Slices and Scoops, a pizza and ice cream parlor which operated in the casino from summer 2016 until it closed earlier this year.

In December 2022, the gourmet baked potato eatery Mister Tater’s Tater Shack opened in Gold Town Casino.
