Came into Sid's for breakfast and lunch to go, while a bit slow, it had solid food and nice service. I was visiting the area with my Dad and we needed a place to grab breakfast, fill up on coffee and some lunch to take with us during our opal mining. This diner has all the usual suspects, from a counter across from the kitchen to 1950's design touches. Everything was clean and had a newish feel to it though. A bit of a wait to be seated at 9 on a Saturday. Service was great and friendly, but the cooking was way slow. I'd guess our basic breakfasts took a half hour to come out. Waitress filled dads coffee thermos with fresh stuff and heated it up first with hot water. The meal was really spot-on. Perfectly cooked well-scrambled eggs made up for the wait. A heaping ton of has browns come with the side. Dad really enjoyed his scramble as well. We got lunch to go, which was pretty easy. I had a BLT that came with nicely crispy bacon and fries that stayed crispy. I think dad had a tasty ruben with slaw. Sid's Restaurant is a solid diner to get a well cooked to order meal and attentive service, but you might have a bit of a wait. read more

This restaurant was suggested by the lady at the hotel desk...what a mistake!! I'm giving it one star as the service was efficient. The food was grease laden and inedible if allowed to cool. Some of the lettuce in the salad was pink (so not very fresh) and the sandwich that my husband had ordered had so little meat that he doubled the meat on one half of the roll. Not much to select from in this town, but, Sid's is avoidable at all costs. read more

The Crew at Sid's were charmingly welcoming and hospitable! The place was sparkling clean, the menu varied, and when the dishes we chose arrived they were flavorful and tasty, with attention to details such as children's fussy preferences! What more can a little family ask for? Loving attention to our 2 your boys, who said upon departure: "God had put this man on earth for a special reason" ! Thank you Mr. manager at Sid's... sadly we do not know your name...! God bless you!!! read more

This place is great! Has a 1950's feel, although I don't think that's intentional, which makes it that much more charming. There a booths for 2, 4, and gigantic corner large-group booths. You can also sit at the counter. There's an extensive list of daily dessert specials. Their menu is quite expansive for a very traditional American feel, they have a broad range of entrees from fajitas, to spaghetti, meatloaf, and American classics. I eat here when I'm "on the wagon" health-wise because they have a yummy assortment of unique salads. Their Cajun spicy chicken salad (can be served in a yummy taco bowl) is a favorite of mine. They have great sandwiches and a couple spins on a Philly cheese steak that's scrumptious too. Service has always been fast & friendly. I'll keep coming back! read more

If I knew that I would be paying 14.99 to eat shit from a can, I would've saved myself the trouble. $6.29 for a small bowl of fruit loops?! For real...? read more

Not a whole lot in the sleepy city of Winemucca but Sid's was a quaint little diner. Good burgers, tasty fries, and the serve breakfast all day. Service was a little slow because most of the employees are really young but our waitress was attentive. read more

Sid's Restaurant - Cajun Chicken Sandwich w/ Potato Salad - Diners Near Me - Winnemucca, Nevada

Best breakfast I have had in a long time. Pancakes were perfect! Eggs cooked perfectly! Service was great.

Stopped here 2 years ago and gave them a 5 star rating. They still deserve a 5 star rating. Biscuits and gravy were great. Professional service. Clean bathrooms. read more

Had breakfast there a few days ago and its the real deal. Service was good and excellent home cooked meals. I would say this is my go to spot for breakfast in Winnemucca! read more

This place is a little gem, but a bit old school. I guess what really matters is the food, and this place does it well. I usually order the battered mushrooms for an appetizer. They are the right amount of crunchy and great to dip in ranch! The ranch burger is my go to. Simple and tasty. Lately, I've ventured out and tried the California Grilled. Wow! Great sandwich with lots of flavor. read more

If you're looking for a formal dining experience complete with a sommelier, this isn't your place. However if you're looking for a big old fashioned stick to your ribs kind of breakfast, you'll find it here. I had an omelette with biscuits and gravy. The omelette was fluffy, made to order including extra cheese and was delicious. The biscuits and gravy were very good, and tasted exceptionally fresh. I will definitely be back especially when looking for a breakfast place in Winnemuccaa. read more

This restaurant had one of the nicest menus. When I complimented our waiter, he said they had put the things on there that the locals really liked and I there were several items I wanted to try, but only had time to have one. Anyway, it was good food and very courteous service. Although we were just passing through, we really enjoyed our meal. read more

We stayed the night in Winnemucca and came here for breakfast, what a great little place the food was amazing and staff really friendly. read more

Passing through, truck full of hungry passengers, stopped for breakfast/lunch, and glad we did !! Just what a local diner has always been: the menu had lots to offer, the server a Pro, the food was delicious, the prices were good then we were off with a truck full of happy passengers. Added Sid's Restaurant to list for next trip. read more

Amazing food and amazing service. Even when they are super busy you still get amazing service for a small town diner

Sid's is a local favorite and normally the food is very tasty. However, we just got our take out order... Sonoma Omlettes and are so disappointed. This is the second time we have received black avacado slices on top and we found mold on our sourdough toast. Wow. Apparently they do not have any pride in what they are sending out. Is it just take out orders? I don't even want to go and dine in the restaurant now. So sad. read more

Really good food at an affordable price. I had the mushroom Swiss burger and it was very juicy and tasty. My wife had the BLT and loved it!

Went here for dinner while working out of town. I had the fried meatloaf sandwich and they let me substitute green salad for the usual sides of home made potato salad or pasta salad. I opted for the viagrette...didn't realize it was raspberry. It was fine. My buddy liked his tuna melt, and my sandwich was good. Nothing amazing but really what should anyone expect out of a diner in Winnemucca. Good sturdy food. That's what I got. The atmosphere is cleaned up "updated" Sambos. It's got a great retro feel. Service was again what you would expect. Friendly ladies working hard. Hmmmm. Maybe Ill have a chance to try breakfast. Wonder how that is. read more

Awesome food! Super staff! Friendly, clean, atmosphere! Awesome desserts as well! Highly recommend!!!

Old diner in Winnamucca Nevada. Stopped here for lunch. Food was basic, but good. Restaurant was pretty beaten up, ceiling stained, carpet old, booths and paint really aged. Waitress was friendly. Price was ok, pretty standard. Not a bad eat of your passing through amd hungry for a quick bite. read more

Sid's Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Winnemucca, Nevada

This review is based on 3 evening meals. One had to be take-out and the other two were with the new 'rules.' Santa Rosa sandwich, great meat and cheese/mushroom ratio! Hamburger was up there with quality burgers found elsewhere. Tonight's California Griller was another well thought out sandwich. The avocado was a great addition and was very fresh. When I discovered they had tater tots in lieu of the potato salad (can't beat the wife's) or the fries, adds a great option. Saw the fried chicken on another table's plate and that's next. With the limited tables, makes it a little tougher for the staff, but they are doing great to serve you as effectively as possible. Thank you! read more

Just not worth it. Overpriced for very less than mediocre food. I had hoped, based on the other reviews, that it would be good, classic diner food. It wasn't. read more

A decent place. Very nice and attentive service. Food was passable. But I wouldn't come back.

Nice clean place. Good food. If you ask for crispy bacon it will be crunchy almost tasteless. Good service. Reasonable portions.

If you're looking for a place in town to eat breakfast this is the best one! Friendly staff, tasty food, and really quiet.

Big Mistake. Sid's looked like an old dinner with nice ambiance. But don't be fooled. I ordered the chops. They came out very thin, over cooked, and tough. Only ate half of one. The combo veggies were leftovers, reheated and burned. My wife ordered the chicken fried steak dinner. It was small, thin, over cooked, and burnt. Had to send it back. She ordered the fried fish basket instead which turned out to be three frozen fish sticks that were way over battered. The whole meal was really bad. Waitress was forgetful and slow. Took ten minutes just to get our check. It took an hour and half to get out of this place. Not a good idea on a road trip. We'll never stop at Sid's again. read more

I have eaten here many times. And always had good food and service. Stopped in this morning after work. Didn't know about the reservation mandate. The waitress was so rude about it I just left! She should have had a better attitude about since there were only people at 3 tables in the entire place. I will never be back ! read more

Home-made food that will fill you up with a friendly wait staff and excellent cooks. A definite family friendly spot for a good meal. It's one of my favorite mom and pop places. read more

Service good, dinner food not. Everything was right out of a freezer bag & not good. Salad was old & the flies didn't help.

Great diner fare, and outstanding service. I'm a fan of the Rueben and meatloaf. The shrimp ranchero breakfast rocks. If it's important to you to stay safe from COVID, this may be the best restaurant in town, hands down. They require masks, and unlike some restaurants in town, enforce it. Sanitizers situated in great places, great friendly service. Tough times, and they deserve patronage. read more

We stopped at Sid's for breakfast on our way back home. My mom and I ordered the Veggie omelet. Not knowing what to expect, we hoped for the best. Well, we were very pleased. The eggs were super fluffy, veggies fresh, about half an avocado sliced on top. The salsa they brought us was fresh and homemade, which I was really excited about. Good stuff. read more

Don't think twice about passing by sids.. A true American diner, where deciding on what you want to eat takes longer than getting your food My club sandwich was on the table in less than two minutes... How a diner should be... I am a connoisseur of the club sandwich and down to the perfect bacon crisp, to the perfect golden toast it came on.. Oh yeah and the ice tea is the mad notes.. 10/10 would eat again read more

The food was very good and a very lovely polite staff!! Very happy we stopped by today!! Thank you!

Started off a little rocky having to wait about 10 minutes to be seated when they had plenty of tables open and ready, but they definitely made up with the food! They have fresh squeezed OJ (so so good but a little pricey) I have the biscuits and gravy! Very very good! Didn't come with as much as I was hoping for. Also their blueberry muffin AMAZING! My husband had their Denver skillet and was in love with it! He said it's the best breakfast he's ever had! and he eats a lot of breakfast food! For sure go here!!! Better than the other breakfast place we had in Winnemucca! They were also very quick getting the food out to us! read more

Sid's Restaurant - Diners Near Me - Winnemucca, Nevada

Stopped in today around noon. I was immediately impressed by the cleanliness of the restaurant as an initial observation. I was even more impressed that the bathroom was spotless! Never been there before so not sure how it normally is but it was a nice facility. There were several people eating. Having some clientele is a good thing and I was seated promptly. The staff were very quick and courteous throughout my time there. They were on top of things. I had a hamburger called the buffalo burger and it was pretty good. I also got a fountain drink with my meal. I was a little surprised that it cost over $2 for a fountain drink. But then again I'm old enough to remember getting coffee or 50 Cent LOL. All in all not a bad place to stop. read more

We always travel through Winnemucca and usually hit up one of the terrible fast food places. Today we decided to make a change and give our money to a local establishment. We were not disappointed in our decision and will continue to give Sid's our business every time now. They were super friendly, accommodating to our kids, and packed it to go for us so we could take our dog to the park and eat. The food was great and we have zero complaints. Thanks Sids for making our Winnemucca dining a way better experience. Our only downside is we didn't discover them earlier in our years of travel. read more

I'm a bit behind the roadtrip reviews, so here is one from a few weeks back. What I continue to find is that at least ONE person has been to every little place I visited on this road trip!?!?! Sids Restaurant is a diner.......in a small town in Nevada.........sure you could stop there, but there is a bit more. Located off of I-80 in Winnemucca, Nevada, Sids is a family diner with nice, friendly staff and plenty of diner type food. Having driven all of the morning, it was time for lunch. The thing about driving through Utah and Nevada, is that there are just a few places that have more than one option to eat, so when one gets to a town like Winnemucca, then it is a good time to stop, rest, eat, before continuing the road warrior cross country trip my friend and I were on. I had a BLT and a few buds (my driving shift was over and I planned to sleep for a while). We found out from the friendly wait staff that Newmont mining was the key employer in the area...actually the worlds largest gold mining company. Plenty of shops, car dealerships......not the kind of place impacted by the issues with the finanical markets. Business was good at the mines and in Winnemucca...good for them. Food was hot, tasty, and cheap. We ate, said our goodbyes and head out of Winnemucca. read more

Driving to Co I pulled off looking for breakfast. Sid's came up on my Google maps so I went in not expecting much. Bacon, eggs, hash browns. I was pleasantly surprised!! Local potatoes grated on the premises, & very lean bacon! The really sweet waitress gave me some salsa on the side... what and added bonus!! Very flavorful. They also offer a little stronger French Roast coffee fie the same price! My breakfast at this little diner ( not a dive ) was a really nice A nice experience for my long drive!! Wish a place this good was in Reno or VAIL!! I'm hoping to be back in the spring!! read more

Not fancy. Just good diner food. My grilled salmon was perfect. Staff was friendly and attentive to my needs. The place is clean. I will definitely eat here again. read more
