The food was excellent! Pancakes were super flavorful with the butter and maple syrup even better. Eggs were cooked perfectly, sausage was really good and full of pork flavor. The skillet was ok because the gravy was ice cold. We all really enjoyed the sourdough bread/toast. It had a rich, flavor and was better than most! The service was HORRIBLE! It took 45 minutes to order and then another 45 minutes to get our food. The waitress was complaining that her tips were missing and my guess is that this skillet with the gravy sat waiting for her. I would go back because of the food for sure. read more

Waiting for my car to be serviced, I was looking for something to eat. If you follow my reviews, you know I'm always on the lookout for new places to try while supporting local businesses. We spotted JD Slingers and decided to check it out. The parking lot is small, and if you're heading east on Reno Highway, you could easily miss it since it's tucked behind the tall Depot building in the Bonanza Casino complex. We arrived around 8:30 a.m., and there were only about three other occupied tables. The menu offered much more than just breakfast, with everything from burgers to sandwiches to sirloin steaks, meatloaf, and other comfort food favorites. Of course, what immediately caught my eye was the pastrami sandwich! I love a good pastrami, but I'm pretty particular--I prefer leaner slices rather than the fattier cuts that many places serve. Our server, Anna, wasn't sure whether the pastrami was lean or not, but I decided to take a chance. I'm so glad I did! It was served on what I believe was a hoagie roll with just pastrami and pickles, and it was absolutely delicious. The pastrami was tender, flavorful, and just the way I like it. I only added a little mustard toward the end because the roll was a bit thick, but honestly, it didn't need any condiments. It was great just as it came. I opted for the coleslaw instead of fries, and it was a great choice--it was fresh, creamy, and paired perfectly with the sandwich. As we were finishing our meal, the restaurant became noticeably busier. Anna was the only server on the floor, yet she kept up with the growing crowd while continuing to provide friendly, attentive service. I also noticed the manager making the rounds to check on guests, which is always appreciated. Overall, this was a great first visit. Great food, friendly service, and a local spot I'll definitely be coming back to--especially for that pastrami sandwich! read more

The food was absolutely horrible, several steaks were sent back twice and still couldn't cook them right. Then they ran out of ribeye steaks. The food took forever and came out at different times. We've had better steaks at Sizzler read more

It was very busy yesterday at lunch. There was a steady flow of diners in & out! The staff was smiling & hustling to make sure everyone was taken care of. The food was delicious as always read more

Once we got our food ( an hour wait) things were better. Server was great and explained why it was taking so long. Management and linecooks were the main problem.They had a lot of people quit and owner hadn't been on site in a very long time. Changes being made to all parts of the operation was causing great havoc and extremely long wait times. We were there for supper. Front of house was coping as best they could. They did comp us 10%. Specials were being removed from extensive menu (which caused loss of customers). Restaurant was clean but dated. read more

Holy Cow! Literally! Better come hungry-as in starve yourself all day hungry. The platters are as big as the menu-when opened up. Definitely not for you vegetarian! Feel like this is Fallon wrapped up and served on a platter. read more

Good food. Had luck at casino. Fine time. Recommend if you don't want to be around a big crowd.

Food was good. My husband and I both had steaks that were good. Service was a little slow. Ambience was OK. Would recommend.

Good old fashion breakfast with great coffee. Nice selection of choices and great value. Staff keeps the coffee cup refilled constantly. We will be back. read more

We ordered the 10oz Ribeye Medium Rare with over easy eggs, hash browns and sourdough toast, and the Hoss. The Ribeye had more fat and gristle than meat, the hash browns had a strange flavor, almost sweet like root beer. The toast was white bread instead of the sourdough. We do not usually complain about our food, but steak and hash browns were inedible. When we told our server she said "well, what do you want me to do about it, I'll get my manager." We heard her complain to her manager about our concern, then after the manager came over we explained it again. She said, "ok, I'll go see what I can do." the waitress returned with the ticket and set it on the table without saying a word. They discounted $2.30, the steak and eggs were $23. We have eaten there several times and have never been disappointed. However, we will not be going back. read more

Great service and really good food. I got the ribeye and it was extremely tender and very flavorful. My son had a hamburger and my wife had dinner salad. We all enjoyed our time and our waitress was very nice and helpful. read more

Great place to stop on the road! We'd seen this a few times on a drive to or from Reno but never stopped. This weekend was the weekend to do so considering we were famished after nearly nine hours of driving through the desolate Nevada countryside over the last day. It's got a cute rustic charm to it outside, akin to Nashville if you will. Country, but not without the bling and neon lights. The parking lot is rather tiny but it's attached to a small casino so you can park on the other side and walk through the slots if you wish. Upon entering you are greeted by cow hides on the wall, branding irons hanging about and a cute sign that tells you to seat yourself. So we did. It was quite busy but we found an empty booth and were given menus as heavy as a slab of granite. Our waitress was ridiculously busy but very nice and took time to answer our questions. I teetered between a burnt burger (that's the name folks) and a regular burger. I chose the regular because the burnt burger comes with a skirt and I'm not so much a fan. I got the onion nuggets as a side which are basically onion rings but so much better. My husband got himself a steak with beans, green beans and a side of soup. The meal was very good especially for the cheap prices the restaurant provides to their patrons. We were able to get tea to go and even took some left over steak home to our pup. If your in Fallon overnight or passing through and hungry - give it go. You won't be disappointed in the price or the food quality. I would go again for sure! I'm only knocking down one star because it took a minute ( a long minute ) to get the check when we were obviously done eating. Not a big thing, but a thing. Enjoy! read more

Went there for dinner on a Sunday. Arrived around 6pm and the restaurant wasn't very busy. Server was good, but it took over 45 minutes to get 2 sandwiches. By the time the food got to our table, sandwiches and fries were cold. You could tell it had sat there for a long time. And, it was apparent the restaurant places more emphasis on take out orders than those who go there in person. So, food wasn't good and this isn't the first over the last few months where it was super slow to receive good. Gonna be a bit before we go back. read more

I was busy Saturday night, and the parking lot was full, but we needed to have dinner, some place different than our usual restaurant. It's been a month of having no kitchen since the water damage happened. We found an empty booth right away, and we were greeted by our waitress. She took our drink order and gave us a few minutes to decide what to order. After she took our order, we waited for what seemed like eternity. The waitress apologized for the waitress and informed us that our food would be coming soon. After more than 30 minutes, we finally got our food. Salmon was not even warm, and the rice pilaf was not freshly cooked, but you got what you paid for. Overall, if it wasn't for the attentiveness of our waitress, I would give this place a one-star. I am posting pictures of our food so you can decide what you think about my thoughts. read more

We visited this place on a Sunday wanting to try one of their burgers. A sign said to just "seat ourselves" so we did. The place smelled like cigarette smoke to the point where I thought the place was a smoking restaurant. I looked around but no one was smoking. We waited for a while to get our menu. No one ever came so my brother just ended up grabbing menus himself. No biggie right? We spent a long few minutes (15 minutes) looking through the menu. No one ever came. I was already thinking of leaving and going across the street to Stockman's Casino and getting something to eat there. My brother decided to get up and look for someone to take out order. The thing is, this place wasn't even busy so I'm not sure why the wait was so long. Finally a waitress came to take our order. She apologized for the wait. Once she got to us, the service was great. I ordered the JD Slinger burger with a side of cottage cheese. It was good. Nothing super special about it. I can't think of anything that stood out about the cheeseburger other than maybe it was big and filling. I did like the side of cottage cheese though. The waitress stopped by a few times asking how everything was and filled up our drinks. Yah once she started serving us, the service was great. You just had to get your own menu then look for a waitress. I guess that's a problem when you have to "seat yourself." Maybe the wait staff may not know you walked in. Would I come back in to eat? Maybe not. The long wait and cigarette smoke is a thumbs down. read more

Pleasantly surprised with this little spot. I had the sirloin mushroom salad and it was delicious- generous portion of steak. next time i will ask for additional veggies- cucumber carrots ect. Prices were reasonable. Wait time minimal. Server Amber took great care of us. Def will return! read more

We stopped here on the way through Fallon and will never stop again! This is one of those reviews that won't make a bit of a difference to j d slinger's because this is where the locals go. We were seated as soon as we walked in, and that is where everything ground to almost a halt. We received our drinks within a few minutes but didn't get our breakfast for an easy 30 minutes. That gave us plenty of time to hang out and watch what was going on. The first thing I noticed as soon as we sat down was a dog sitting on the floor next to its owner. Definitely not a service dog, but after all, it is Fallon NV, so it's not too big of a deal. We'll that was until another local came in with a fat chihuahua and sat on the seat next to his owner. I kept telling myself it's Fallon NV, and that worked until I realized that the owner of the fat chihuahua was being served his meal after being waited on a good 10 minutes after we were. I also noticed the table we were sitting at had not been wiped off and one of the local gentleman who came in after us got up and went into the waitress station to get the stuff to clean his table. I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure that is a health inspection violation. That and the 30+ minute wait had us ready to walk out, and after asking where our meals were and letting them know we were ready to walk out, all of a sudden, our breakfast was ready. After eating, we went up to the cashier to pay, and as we walked up, she left. Yes, she walked away as we walked up. We left cash on the counter and walked out never ever to return again. read more

It's a great place to eat. It has normal food nothing fast. The staff is wonderful. read more

Initially i had mixed feelings about JD slingers. Husband and i decided to try this restaurant out. We ended up having hamburgers. I ordered the mushroom burger, with garlic fries and my husband had a plain burger with regular fries. We also ordered the potato skins appetizer. The potato skins were so delicious. We thought the burgers were okay. But as i kept taking bites, i really started to enjoy the flavor of the meat with the mushrooms, a little salt and pepper would be great though. Garlic fries were tasty. My husband thought the fries were okay. Seriously the best potato skins we ever had, just needed a little bit of salt. Friendly service though. read more

This restaurant is not worth it. I ordered a ribeye medium well and I got a medium rare! The ribeye was fatty, hardly any meat. Mashed potatoes was nasty. It took over an hour for our food and wasn't even packed. Service is horrible. Waitress didn't ask if we needed a refill. Not once. Horrible experience!!! Definitely do not recommend!!! If I could leave a zero star, I would. One star is not even being generous. $100 meal for my wife and I. I should've taken that $100 to the casino, instead I came here. read more

Ate here for breakfast about a month ago, once we ordered it took over an hour to receive our food. The food was good but the wait time for it was inexcusable. Decided to give them another chance. Went yesterday for dinner. Took a bit for the waitress to take our order. Ordered at 6:00pm, food finally came at 6:50pm! Waitress was very kind and kept apologizing for the delay, she even gave us a discount because of the wait. The food was good, the poor waitress was excellent, but we won't be giving them another chance. read more

Awesome service and I asked for a medium steak and I got one perfectly! I would definitely come here again if I ever come thru again!! Thank read more

J D Slinger's Steakhouse - Breakfast Wranglers plate - Steakhouses Near Me - Fallon, Nevada

I'm very pleased with this place! I've been meaning to try it for a long time but haven't gotten around to it. Honestly the reviews and pics were so lackluster I was afraid it was going to be disappointing. I'm so Yelp-dependent, haha. Anyway I got the breakfast to go Sunday morning. This was the only place I could find with eggs Benedict. It was YUM, the home fries had great flavor and so did the Hollandaise. It was weird to be asked if I wanted my eggs poached, but everything turned out yum in that dish! The gravy tasted packaged and I will not order it here again. But the biscuits were fine. The burger was YUM! I got the mushroom burger plus bacon, with garlic fries. My daughter and I ate the whole thing. So good. Service was good both times. Minus one star for imperfections of gravy and no drink menu (although they did bring me a Bud Light). Recommend! Atmosphere reminds me of Big Bear Diner but less kitschy. read more

Sunday OCTOBER 13 2024. Arrived about noon, placed on wait list. Waited 10 minutes to find out they got rid of waiting list seat your self. Found open table. Got coffee and water. Placed Order about 12:20 Times is 1:30. I am still waiting for my food. Lots of open tables. 3 times waitress has said your food will be right out. I just walked out at 1:35 Worst decision ever to eat here read more

Not the best but not bad. Steak was prepared to order and about a 3 of 5 for flavor. Everything came as ordered at reasonable prices and they do offer a veterans discount. I would rate it at 3.5 stars. read more

I'm going to preface this with I'm not from around here so maybe it's just a change of pace from what I'm used to. I'm in town with some friends and we dined here two nights in a row because they have a wider variety than some of the other places around here. There was 9 of us the first visit and 7 of us on the second. The first visit was better than the second. We waited for about an hour before we got our food, and some parts of our orders were wrong but not a big deal. One of the burgers we ordered got dropped and then gave us an extremely well done burger as a replacement like a minute after they had told us they dropped it and then also cooked one of the other burgers wrong. The second visit was a wreck. There was only one waitress taking orders and another one kind of floating around. There were maybe three tables that were filled including ours. We waited an hour before we even got our order taken and then an additional 45 minutes before we got our food. Also as a steakhouse, how are you going to run out of most of your steaks? Anyways, they cooked my steak wrong and none of us got our drinks filled until the end of our meal. The waitress had told us that it usually not as busy as it was for a Sunday so she was overwhelmed, but only four tables were filled at that point...And then it was time to pay and our waitress had brought us the bill and then was nowhere to be found. The Keno guy was more attentive to our table than the waitress. The food was okay but thank god I was only in town for the weekend. read more

Fun menu. Hubby had the ground beef steak - no gravy + add jalapeños with salad & fresh coleslaw. I had the jalapeño burnt bacon burger! So good! The service was outstanding! Our waitress Sierra was very sweet and attentive providing prompt service refilling glasses, clearing empty plates, etc. During Covid we have experienced a decline in all areas of customer service but the waitresses here were all friendly and checked each other's tables. Great job!! Will be back. Then we walked into the casino and won enough to cover our dinner plus $200! read more

Very nice spot to stop and grab a hearty Burger. The servers are friendly and quick. The prices are very fair compared to others. I had the Jalapeño Burnt Bacon Burger with Garlic fries (~$14). The burger was huge and delicious. The fries were crispy. Overall, I have no complaints, I was full and satisfied, and it wasn't expensive at all (in today's economy that is). I'll be coming back next time I'm in Fallon. read more
