How does the food score? Particularly popular are the burgers,
chicken fried steak, and Saturday night's prime rib feast. The
crisp salad's are delicious, as are the pies, with fillings and
flaky crusts made from scratch by Judy or under her watchful eye.
Ray is known for his barbecue tri tips, barbecued ribs, and
beans. Breakfasts include generous three-egg omelettes_Denver,
vegetarian, and meat-filled. "If we have it, we'll put it
in", adds Judy. Away from the restaurant, the Metza still
go boating on Lake Mead. While the guys waterski, Judy finds a
peaceful spot on shore to sit back and unwind. As a volunteer
EMT, Judy sometimes makes ambulance runs to Las Vegas. Their café's
customers include locals, Utah and California travelers, foreign
tourists, and park rangers. Visitors to Overton can take in the
Lost City Museum, which describes the Pueblo Indians who lived
in the Moapa Valley centuries ago. Nearby are the Valley of Fire
State Park and two Lake Mead Resorts, Overton Beach and Echo Bay.
