    Fried Pickles
    Tiffany R.

    Always fast and friendly service. I've been there over 10 times now and the food is always consistently delicious. Last time we went in we had a couple picky eaters with us and they were very patient and accommodating. We love this little gem and will always be return customers.

    Super friendly staff, outdoor seating is a perfect fit for bbq.. Feels like you're in your own backyard and meat is being cooked close by which adds to that with the smell of bbq. Food was excellent!! Looking forward to trying the ribs next time.

    Environment was clean. They had good beer choices. We got the food quick but it was on the drier side as if it had been sitting out for a while. The nachos were great but main food was okay.

    The Sierra Smoke Show, introducing an exceptional barbecue experience that extends beyond the traditional smoked sausage, chicken, pork, and brisket. Their commitment to excellence shines through in the details, with sides like smoked mushrooms, corn pudding, coleslaw, mac'n'cheese and fried pickles enhancing the overall dining adventure in Blairsden,The Sierra Smoke Show is not merely about smoked meats; it's a celebration of flavors, where even the sides become stars on the plate. I recommend their smoked mushrooms & smoked brisket!! And you gota get some fried pickles too!

We appreciate the new owners for keeping the restaurant very much like Chris and Randi left it. It still has the home town vibe, great food, fair pricing and l look forward to a summer full of great food and fun times.

    Solid choice for dinner if you find yourself in the Portola/Blairsden/Graeagle area. I met a couple…read morehigh school friends to catch up a little bit. I've only been here a few times since I now live out of town... but every time I visit, I appreciate the interior - I really like the look! We started with spinach / artichoke dip as an appetizer... thumbs up all around the table on that one. There are actually several appetizers on the menu that look good - it's always tough for me to choose - but if you just wanted to drop by for a happy hour nibble, I'd say most people would be covered. It'd be fair to say that apps are one of their strengths. I had a caesar salad, and it was good! Pretty standard caesar, but I'm amazed that many restaurants manage to screw it up by drowning it in dressing or whatever. None of the common mistakes here - nice fresh, crisp lettuce... good dressing and imo the right amount - not too heavy, not too light. Just right. One of my friends had the Chicken Parm and the other had Shrimp Scampi - both reported goodness! The dishes looked great, but I behaved this time and kept my fork to myself. I had the salmon - one of my "go to" dishes - and it was good as well. Yes... we had dessert! There were several good options, but we decided to share the cookie "mess". Good balance with all ingredients... and for something described as a "mess," it was plated quite well! Definitely high on my list of possibilities when I'm in the area!

    My family and I are on a road trip and opted to stay the night in Susanville. We arrived around…read moremidday and once we'd gotten our hotel room sorted, we realized that after hours on the road eating gas station snacks, we were pretty hungry for a real meal. It's New Years Day 2026 and we assumed that most non-chain-brand places in a small town like this would be closed, but we gave Side Iron BBQ a call and were pleasantly surprised to find that they were open. Upon entering the place, we immediately knew we'd made a good choice. Side Iron is located inside the Pioneer Building and is dripping with legit old-school frontier ambiance combined with touches of classic Americana. There's an antique piano and fully-functional vintage pinball machine in the entryway, and as you pass into the main dining tall you'll find a full-scale pool table, a shelf of classic board games, a foosball game, and even some well-maintained acoustic guitars placed around, all of which invite visitors to not just scarf down a meal, but to hang out and have a great time. I've had the good fortune to eat BBQ in Texas numerous times and it has basically ruined California BBQ for me - certainly nothing I've had in the Bay Area can really compete with what I've had in Texas. Despite that, I had a good feeling about Side Iron so we went ahead and ordered a variety of items - brisket, pulled pork, a sausage link, fried okra, mac and cheese, jalapeno bacon corn, and even a burger. I'm delighted to report that this was hands-down the best BBQ I've ever had in California, and is right up there with the best BBQ I've ever eaten, period. The smoked brisket in particular was a real standout: tender, juicy, and with delightfully crispy burned edges. I seriously cannot overstate how good everything was. If Side Iron was located within 50 miles of San Francisco, there would've been a line of "food influencers" three blocks long and we would've paid 2-3X as much for this meal. The fact that we were the only patrons on New Years Day and enjoyed this incredible feast for a fraction of the price we would've paid closer to home is genuinely incredible. If you like BBQ and you're EVER anywhere near Susanville, you absolutely cannot miss the chance to try Side Iron!
