Cima Mining Company, Nipton CA

Mmmeh. Three negatives that led to this sub par rating. One, crazy gas pricing. Is this price and demand, or pure customer gouging $6.x a gallon is ridiculous. Two, no receipt at machine forcing me to go inside, stand in line, and wait for a receipt. Three, horrible state of washrooms (both M and F). I don’t care much for those excited by a silly waterfall urinal, the only stall was so filthy it was impractical to have my daughter sit on it hygienically.

This place is really interesting and has great food and date shakes. Souvenirs and collectables available as well

Everyone should visit here, they have very interesting stuff and there is waterfall urinal (which is a very different experience). Also employees are very cool and helpful.

Easily the most bizarre urinal i have ever seen.did not enjoy peeing in that thing.some cool figurines tho

Love, love, love stopping here! Nostalgia, food, gas, drinks. Variety to fulfill your travel needs!

Today June 18-2023 I had a bad experience with a worker there and he was very rude when charging us.
It is worth mentioning that we come dressed in the Mexican shirt and he is a güero
I don't see any other explanation other than racism.
At 9: 30 pm this happened. I hope the manager can hear how rude he was and how he threw the receipt at us.

Definitely a hidden treasure here The Bird House Date shakes which are delicious and their signature chicken Sandwich with fries bomb! Hot and fresh n crispy! Have to on the way out of Vegas or on way back! Very friendly service as well! The store has a variety of candies and fudge yummy!

Stumbled across this On my way! Home from vegas. Amazing date shake and bird house fried chicken joint inside is phenomenal, too good to be “gas station” food will definitely stop here again.

Now, about the location - 20 miles past Primm, you'll feel like you've entered a whole new world. It's like a secret hideaway for beef jerky lovers and waterfall enthusiasts alike. And speaking of waterfalls, the babbling waterfall on the premises is picture-perfect. It's like something out of a postcard, or a screensaver from Windows 95.

But let's not forget the real stars of the show - the cool animated miners out in front. I mean, who wouldn't want to take a picture with a bunch of cartoonish miners? They're so lifelike, you'll want to strike up a conversation with them and see if they know any good mining jokes (I hear they're a hoot).

And last but not least, we can't leave out the excellent date shakes. They're like a sweet, creamy oasis in the middle of the desert. You'll be tempted to drink them all day, every day, but don't - you'll need some water to wash down all that beef jerky and if you're looking for a unique, quirky, and downright hilarious experience, Cima mining company is the place to be. Just make sure you come hungry and ready to laugh.

Stopped on the way to Vegas. People are nice. Date shake is great, we got ours with ice cream but I am pretty sure their almond milk one would be great too. There is a gas station in the area and plenty of parking. Lots of jerky!

Anyone wanna date?

Great place, awesome atmosphere and love the food! The chicken boxes are a great deal for their price and includes fresh food and a large portion of chicken; think Chick-fil-A for hungry travelers!

Cool animated miners out in front of the store that tell a story for the kids. Unique waterfall urinal in the men’s restroom.

I stopped there and I eaten fried chicken… it was awesome! The salsa was crazy! I bought beef jerky and bring it back to France and wow! I loved it! Pleeeease send me some beef packages! I miss your food!

The urinal is unreal. Worth the stop just for that. My only regret is that i didn’t snap a pic!

20 miles past primm exit Cima rd. Short line to get lottery tickets. Excellent Date shakes! Nice store with plenty of Hot sauce for sale as well as jerky too. Attached is a shell gas station. Prices over $7 bucks. Really nice staff.
