Best barbecue restaurant in Sierra Nevada. Meat platter was totally juicy and flavorful. Sides were so delicious and mouthwatering! Restaurant interior was extremely rustic and unique; outdoor dining was accommodating. Decoration license plates were precisely antique. Excellent service and friendly staff. Totally recommend anyone to stop by this restaurant while traveling on US-395 to Nevada. read more

The family stopped by Mountain View BBQ on our road trip and weren't sure what to expect in the small town of Walker, but we had an incredible lunch. We got a chicken combo plate with ribs and brisket. The chicken was huge! Great Smokey flavor with crispy skin and moist meat. The portions were huge too. The ambiance was great and the service was exceptional. We'll definitely plan to stop by again on our next time through Walker. read more

Everything about this restaurant makes it the perfect stop along 395. The owner served us personally and was so kind. The inside is perfectly decorated with tons of license plates from all over the country as well as Knick Knacks that are unique to the area. Being from the south, this was a little taste of home that we needed. You will not be disappointed! read more

Have been here multiple times....If you're contemplating stopping here, stop thinking about it and do it!! This spot is absolutely amazing. Some of the best bbq in the entire state of California (yes I said it). The restaurant has a great vibe, including outdoor seating that is dog friendly. The owner is the nicest ever. The menu has a wide selection with something for everyone. read more

Service here is very friendly, it's a very small town so you get the small time vibes. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We decided to eat outside and it was clean, you'll see all the cars driving by. I ordered the beef ribs and they were HUGE! You get 3 ribs and a side. I ordered the artichoke rice which is very heavy on the curry spice. I was expecting warm/hot rice but it was very very cold. The ribs were delicious. Wife ordered a burger and advised it got very soggy at the end. Friend ordered pork ribs which were good and we also had the brisket and chicken which were very good as well. Please order the garlic bread. I think they toast it on a hotdog or hoagie bun and it's the perfect amount of crispy and squishy at the same time. Super flavorful and worth a try. Got so busy eating, I forgot to take a picture of it!! read more

A nice little roadside barbecue joint. Bright and clean on the inside, everybody that runs the place is very friendly, and there are lots of cool chachkis and license plates along the walls. There's even a chalkboard in the restroom, where you can "leave your mark". The food itself is outstanding! There is a large menu. They also offer beer and wine. I had the pulled pork sandwich, I had a choice of several different sides, and I chose the artichoke rice.. The artichoke rice is a cold side, and it has a curry flavor, which is great, and it's not a spicy curry. You could definitely taste it. It was delicious! The pulled pork sandwich was full, and had a lot of sauce, but the sauce didn't overtake the delicious pork. It also had pickles and onions on the inside, and a pickle spear on the outside. It didn't look that big, but I waddled away from the table full. An excellent meal! The price for the sandwich and tea, was very reasonable, considering the size and quality of the sandwich, and the fact that this place is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. They are a cash only establishment, but they do have an ATM available. . They do offer a discount for active duty military, which makes sense, as there is a Marine Corps base just up the road. Next time I'm passing through, I would stop again. Thank you. read more

Went there two days in a row for a bbq brisket sandwich, and it was excellent! Mom had the grilled hot dog, which comes out on a brioche sandwich bun. Waitresses were excellent, the one I had on Saturday remembered I didn't want the devil's produce (aka onions and pickles) on my sandwich. Yes, the place is cash only. So if you don't want to use the on-site ATM, get some cash before you come to town. read more

Stopped by during our field trip. Enjoyed the dinner a lot at this restaurant. Staff were very friendly. The sandwich, wings, and corn were all perfect. Nothing too salty or too sweet. I also saw a few hummingbirds while eating outside Hope to come back one day! read more

Skip it. Food is consistently dry and service is not great. Over priced and the owners are rude.

Smelling the smoker as we entered the parking lot lured us in. Service was great, cold beer, and bodacious BBQ. I've given details for everything we ordered. Absolutely fabulous food!!! read more

This barbecue place was good. It was conveniently located right across the street from our hotel. We sat outside. It was very nice. It was actually not that loud. Just the cars driving by on the road and the waitress was super busy and it seem really understaffed. I felt really bad for her but all in all a great experience. read more

Staff was friendly. Brisket was fatty. Overpriced for portion size. Be prepared for cash only.

Cash only restaurant and is very expensive. Food was decent. Smoked turkey and brisket sandwiches were good. Staffs were friendly and service was good. It is next to highway 395, so outdoor seating can be noisy (depending on the traffic). The decors inside were interesting. read more

We were driving from Mammoth to Tahoe and stopped into this quaint BBQ place. It was very friendly from the moment you walk in. Food choice were perfect and many healthy options as well. Price was more than fair. Oh, and the BBQ was flavorful and fresh! read more

We got the plate made for two ... or someone who is just hungry. That's what it says lol. It was good. The potato skins with pork were really nice. The server (owner?) was so nice. She kept checking to see if the meat bees were bothering us yet because we sat outside by the smoker of course!!! Unlike most place, the slaw and potato salad were very good! Pleasantly surprised. read more

CASH ONLY restaurant & very expensive. We had a kids meal, 2 meals, & 2 beers and tab was $88. Ribs were waaaay over cooked and dry, could barely cut them with a knife. Not edible. Potato skins were meh, overcooked & crispy (not in a good way) & very small. Kids chicken fingers were actually yummy & the french fries were good as well as the side salad I thought was really delicious and a large portion however it was definitely the end of the head of lettuce. My husband had the chopped barbecue brisket sandwich was just okay, Bbq sauce was bland. Definitely would not recommend! Service was good though! We went at a non-busy time and were the only table in the restaurant read more

So, there I was, thinking about Soulbelly (a great new BBQ in Las Vegas), and it occurred to me that there is some great BBQ close. With that in mind, my wife and I head off to lunch today, June 21, 2021, at Mountain View BBQ in Walker California, and we were far from disappointed. Beyond that, it's been over five years since I updated my review, it's time. You might be asking yourself, What about the drive down from Gardnerville? Well, it's a consideration, but the drive from Gardnerville to Walker is a very pretty stretch of Highway 395, and thus, part of a great trip. Are you listening to a pod cast? Yes we are, today it is Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend with guest John Krazinski, and so was not only the view great, but we laughed the whole way. Lunch? Awesome and well worth the time, the trip, and the money. First thing this morning, prior to making the trip, we called down to verify that yelp was correct with their listing of the days closed (Tuesdays and Wednesdays) and the hours. Yelp was correct, as I would not have been a happy man to drive all that way, salivating since Topaz, to end up with nothing for the effort. Second thing, had to have my wife's green drink to help mollify my Catholic Guilt at the meat that I was going to consume for lunch. The green drink was good. Third, I enjoyed every bite of the food that my wife and I ordered. We ordered the $44 sampler lunch and had plenty of everything that we needed. We had a rack of ribs, pork loin, sausage, and brisket. Our two sides consisted of a curried rice (what a surprise, moist, tasty and worth considering), and French Fries (and suffice it to say the basket equals about 5 times an in-n-out portion). We did not expect it, but the food arrived with two little corn muffins. Fourth, I had a great beer. If you know me, you know that I enjoy cocktails and red wine far more often than I have a beer, but this beer was a Mammoth Brewery Pale Ale, and it was served perfectly. For me, perfectly looks like a full glass, a bit of condensation on the outside of the glass, and a tasty beverage in the glass. They delivered. My wife had a glass of Cabernet and she liked it. We were not sure of the winery or the vintage. Fifth, we were full and so we brought home half of the ribs that we were served, and we look forward to enjoying them soon. The meat simply fell off the bone. Sixth, a brief chat revealed that the brisket is cooked here for 14 hours.....that's a good thing, and the brisket was very good, cut with a fork and enjoyed. How do you wrap up this piece? Simply put, in my mind, you can't go wrong here, but don't blink, you really are in Walker, California, and the BBQ is authentic and tasty. read more

Finally tried it after passing it for years. $31 for a platter with 4 thin slices of meat like for a sandwich. The meat was rubbery and drowned in a ketchup like bbq sauce. Even the Diet Coke was watered down. Then it's cash only. Definitely a tourist trap....keep driving don't stop. read more

Great food! Jeff and Amanda put their hearts into serving good food and providing a friendly atmosphere. We eat there as often as possible. There is a huge parking area for trucks and rv's. read more

Saturday, 12 noon. Maybe a bad day to order ribs. I assumed with all the positive reviews that this place would be a no brainer to get some BBQ ribs. They were dry, even overdone. My disappointment was enhanced because I asked the waitress if the brisket or ribs would be a better choice. (Sometimes one or the other just came out of the smoker) She said it didn't matter. (Was she being diplomatic by saying they both would be bad? Sides: coleslaw was fantastic, the spicy beans, ok and the corn bread should be served with butter. $26 cash only Go to Walker Burger. read more

What a gem this place is. Just the kind of restaurant you want to find when on vaca - locally owned, friendly, comfortable and delicious homemade food. I love that it's located right on the side of the highway with great easy access and lots of parking. There's a nice big gravel area we easily pulled our RV into, also perfect for groups of motorcycles. There was both outdoor and indoor dining, we chose outside with a spacious area of picnic tables under big shady trees - perfect because we had our dogs with us. The server immediately greeted us and brought our dogs a bucket of water, super nice. There was a smoker nearby where they cook all their meat...a carnivore's dream. The menu is huge with a great variety of homestyle BBQ dishes. We got the "small order" bbq platters, one with smoked turkey and one with half brisket half smoked pork. The choices of sides were plentiful and a foodies dream - homemade potato salad, baked beans, mac salad, onion rings, fries, and my choice yummy curried rice & artichoke salad. The smoked meat did not disappoint. I recommend the brisket, it was juicy, flavorful and de-lish. Service was quick and both our server and the owner were very friendly and helpful. We left with happy full bellies, and hopes of coming back to this cool place next time we pass through town. read more

We come camping in this area once or twice a year and the visit isn't complete without a visit to the Mountain View BBQ! Everything I've had here is good! This time around I had the baby back ribs, fries and Artichoke Rice! The Artichoke Rice is truly delicious, as were the ribs. Another person at the table ordered the loaded tater tots with pulled pork as an appetizer! They were yummy as well, although I think the serving was a bit small if sharing with a table. The restaurant is very dog friendly and has ample seating inside and out! Give this place a try instead of the other only place in town the next time you pass through! Fair warning, they only take cash, so come prepared! read more

Bbq chicken with 2 sides was excellent as it was moist and just plain overall delicious. We'll be back for it. $20.95 (Oct 2021) Bbq ribs with 2 sides was pretty good ribs although a bit too dry (or old) for me and too much sauce on them. $24.95 We liked the fries, the coleslaw was excellent and the side salad was descent. We sat outside and had received quick and friendly service. They only take cash, no credit cards nor debit cards, etc. read more

Down home Awesome food, roadside BBQ. They great you with a smile and the service is top notch.

I'm ALWAYS looking for good Barbeque. Now, I'll be honest, my family stumbled upon this place well over a decade ago and thought it was the best back then. It's still a-maz-ing! Standards haven't changed. If I can drive almost two hours to feast on their Barbeque, then it's worth it for anyone. Jeff (owner) is friendly, hospitable and always looking to feed the hungry. Brisket, ribs, smoked meats, you'll like it all. I do! read more

MV was a welcomed bbq diner! First, they had outside and inside dining, and the license plates and large wooden tables was a great reminder that this was going to be a Texas style BBQ place. Large Texas flag, but no other politics. Sauce added after smoking. Everything reminded me of a Bryan College Station highway stop from the 60s. Especially the brisket and beef sausage, which were nicely sliced and just fatty enough. We had the combo which also included smoked pork; they divided it onto two plates, and it was plenty for two. The beans were nicely spiced, the fries were thin and darkly crispy (not McD's). We also had a nice pilsner on tap... Golden Trout I think. Service was friendly and attentive. Cash Only. Very busy at lunchtime. read more

Driving from Lake Tahoe to Mammoth, we were lucky to stumble on this delicious restaurant along Highway 395. A few points: 1. This place has both indoor and outdoor seating. They are super dog friendly!!! 2. My husband had the Texas spudded potato and I had the beef brisket sandwich. The food was absolutely delicious!!! The brisket was tender with just the right amount of BBQ sauce! The pickles and onions brought out all the flavors of the meat. I never really thought of myself as a BBQ person, but this eatery changed my mind. 3. The restaurant is super cute. The outside is decorated with patio furniture and potted plants. 4. Service was excellent! Everyone was super sweet, friendly, and helpful. 5. Cash only!!! There's an ATM machine nearby in case you don't have money on hand. read more
