Inside
Alan C.

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.

Bbq Beef Brisket Sandwich
Bryce L.

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.

Small Smoked Brisket plate with cornbread, homemade fries and slaw. Delicious.

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!!!

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.

Ribs
Kelly W.

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

a bbq with a grill and picnic table

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.

If you enjoy a good quality hot dog, you'll find it super hard to not stop by this roadside food…read moretruck while in South Lake Tahoe. They serve up some gosh darn delicious quality hot dogs. They have a variety of dogs... all beef, Italian sausage, spicy hot link, elk, bison, boar, and beyond brat (vegan). Look for the food truck in the parking lot with a Shell gas station on Highway 50. The dogs are served up plain or you can get them specialized as in a Chicago dog, Sonoran dog, chili cheese, etc. The dogs range $7.50-$15. Plus they got fries$5-13. Those too are served plain or specialized. My faves are the chili fries, Chicago dog, and New York style dog. The chili is no beans and the fries are double fried giving them an extra crispy layer of crust. I do have to tell them light on the onions and mustard because they give you a full bang for your buck and load it up. But Hubs likes it that way. I like to wash it all down with their homemade lemonade. It's the real deal, made with lemons, sugar, and water. The $6 lemonade is served up in a whomping 32 ounce container. Get this, they serve breakfast as well. You can get an egg, cheese, hash brown on an 8 inch Italian roll or bowl. $9.50. Add bacon, sausage or steak $2.50-$4.50 extra.

I tried this food truck while in town, it was a convenient place to get something vegan. They carry…read morebeyond sausage hot dogs. I can't remember the specific hotdog I got, but it had onions and peppers on top with mustard. It was pretty good. They're a bit pricey, but everything is pricy these days. I wouldn't mind going again and trying some of their other hot dogs.

Wienerschnitzel - Chicago dog

40 years. That's the answer to the question, how long has it been since you've eaten at a…read moreWienerschnitzel? They had to move a franchise to Minden and occupied a former burger place or I wouldn't have done it then. I was there at lunchtime. Well, I was at a nearby business and I was without my wife. We had discussed Wienerschnitzel and she had concluded that she was never ever gonna go there no matter what. To her there's something about hot dogs not being healthy they keeps her away. We don't even eat the Costco hotdog, except maybe once every five years. So, if memory serves, back when I was in college and hungry, I was eating these mustard dogs for $.29 each. They were simple; bun, mustard, and hotdog. For two dollars you were full. That is definitely not the case here. I got the Chicago dog and it came with mustard, hotdog, peppers, relish and a need for a napkin. This hotdog alone was nearly 5 dollars, but I thought it tasted really good. They had some value meals which I wasn't interested in, and a little bit of a lunch crowd. It was a nice day and so I took advantage of their outside seating and watched the world go by on Highway 395 for about five minutes. Will it be 40 years before I return? I doubt it, but it's unlikely that I'll be a regular. It is what it is and it's tasty but forbidden, at least at my house.

Love the wieners here and the best part.... The owner works his own shop. Consistent and a good dog…read more. Thanks for coming to our neck of the woods!
