Finding something to eat in a small town is always an adventure. You never know if you’re going to come across a unique hidden gem or a dud. Luckily for us Nevadans, our state’s small towns are full of great eats. For example, the little town of Beatty may be home to just 1,000 people, but it boasts some amazing places to grab a bite. The local treasure featured below is a beacon of joy for travelers who find themselves in this remote town. Not only is this chili shack big on character, but the food is perfect for indulging in after a long day of adventure. This is one restaurant that every Nevadan should visit at least once.
Happy Burro Chili and Beer is a pretty straightforward type of place. On the menu, you'll find two things: chili and beer. But you can bet it's the most amazing chili and beer you've ever had.
Located in the little town of Beatty, this place best resembles a shack—one that looks straight out of the Wild West, at that. The rustic ambiance goes along perfectly with the restaurant's specialty item.
For just a few bucks, you can receive a big bowl of Happy Burro's award-winning chili, made fresh daily with beans and Angus beef and topped with cheese and onions.
Alternatively, you can have your chili smothered on top of a hot dog or covered with a hearty portion of Frito Corn Chips. It's definitely not fancy, but that's what makes it amazing.
Don't forget the beer! Served in a Mason jar, it's the perfect thing to wash down a bowl of Nevada's finest chili. Your meal just wouldn't be complete without it.
Happy Burro is a true relic of Beatty's Wild West days. It's impossible to not be in awe of the restaurant's wacky decor and the tight-knit vibe. Most importantly, it doesn't matter who you are or where you're from—a bowl of chili always hits the spot.
You'll find Happy Burro Chili and Beer at 100 Main St, Beatty, NV 89003. They are open 10:00 am to 10:00 pm every day.
