| - This is the real deal, people!
I've eaten here twice so far and there is no doubt that I'll be coming back soon. I'm from the southeast and have had a great deal of trouble finding a proper BBQ place here in NV (Carolina Kitchen in Sparks is the only other one that I've found so far). It wasn't until I moved out west that I first heard the term "Nevada style BBQ", and it wasn't very long after that that I realized that it was just a euphemism for "we don't have a clue what we're doing" or "just smoke the hell out of it, then cover it in molasses and ketchup". I mean, come on, it's a sad state of affairs when the best, most authentic BBQ "joint" in town is a Dickey's or Famous Dave's, right? Well, now that I know that is very definitely no longer the case, I am beyond happy to sing SNS Diner's praises loud enough for the entire valley to hear. Take heed, suckafoos!
This place is just flat-out awesome and any BBQ (or breakfast) fan really owes it to themselves to check it out. The menu is small, simple, focused and on-point, featuring all of the fare you would expect: pulled pork, beef brisket, ribs, chicken, hot links, hamburgers, baked beans, mac n cheese, etc... The brisket sandwich was very, very good, and so insanely tender that even a toothless person would have no difficulty at all polishing one off. As good as it is though, the real stand-out at SNS (so far) is the pulled pork sandwich! A heaping mound of tender pork topped with homemade slaw and a drizzle of their own spicy mustard on top. I'm not a huge fan of slaw normally, but they do it just right. It's not drenched in profane amounts of mayo and, as odd as it may sound, it has chunks of banana peppers mixed in. The result is something almost too tasty to even be called mere "slaw"...and a perfect texture to really set the sandwich off without sogging it down. The smoked beans and macaroni are the only sides I've tried so far, but they were both excellent! In fact, the mac n cheese is probably the best I've had (at a restaurant) in years. They also have several desert items that I fully intend to try one day. If I can ever manage to save enough room for some, that is. Wish me luck.
Okay. So beyond the food, right? The service is genuinely warm and friendly (without being pushy) and welcoming. They actually seem happy to see you come through the door and, I don't know about you, but I really dig that. The place is a little hard to find, being located in an old truck stop type building. And in all honesty, it's a little bit of a dive....just like all the best BBQ joints always are. "Holes in the wall" are always your best bet for quality, authentic BBQ, and this place is no different. But also, like other real BBQ joints, the quality of the food more than makes up for any shortfalls in the decorating budget. Just how it should be. I don't know what else to say about this place, but that I'm so glad that we found it! It's quite a drive for us, but I see us making it many more times. Check it out.
