    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

    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

    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

    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.

    $25 overcooked Rib Plate
    John M.

    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.

    I grew up in Walker and moved away long long ago, and I miss the Barbeque almost every day. Hope this business is doing well.

    A MUST TRY! The…read morefood looked too good so we dug right in before snapping photos.. oops! Nice & welcoming staff, very helpful with menu guidance - clean place - lots of seating - organized condiments We ordered 1/2 a chicken, Pork Po Boy, and the Sampler Plate (pulled beef, pulled pork, 1/4 chicken & 1 rib) with the included side of chili and subbed the rice for sweet potato fries. Everything was a 10/10. Chili was delicious and hearty, sp fries were cooked perfectly, I loved that I could add the bbq sauce to the meats, the sauce was really delicious as well! The one thing I wish was that my 1 rib had a little bit more meat, but taking the sampler plate into consideration as a whole, there was a lot more meat to enjoy despite the rib. We came in on a Wednesday from San Francisco. It happened to be a day where their 1/2 a chicken was $5 with the purchase of a side. But since we ordered other items we were able to do so without purchasing a side. Basically, you have to make a food purchase to get the $5 chicken deal (which I think may be on Wednesdays regularly) The chicken was really good! Not dry (yes, even the light meat) the skin was golden and delicious) I think they mentioned that it's smoked. I browsed their website beforehand and saw that they have multiple locations in Hawaii so that was pretty cool!! Will be back again! I'm glad we took a chance and tried something different from our usual place in South lake.

    This place seems to have good reviews so maybe we happened to go in an off night but the food here…read moreis awful! They use absolutely no salt on any of the food... HOW DO YOU DO BBQ WITH NO SALT??? Even after adding salt it still had absolutely no flavor. We went with six people and no one finished there food.
