    Rush hour!!!

    Honest takeout review: Theirs a good reason they're as busy as they are... 5/5 Ever just wanted a true hotdog? One that doesn't try to be more than it is? One that's perfect from a chili cheese stand point and whether you ask for the real cheese or the fake cheese (my opinion) you can ask for both or just one kind? Yeah... they do it right. There's a reason why you've been the goats of hotdogs and will continue to be. Chicago dog: 5/5 Okay... let me start off by saying we're pretty far away from Chicago but when I think... celery salt, which is the secret ingredient to a good Chicago dog, yeah.... You can't go wrong. Ordered 2 thinking I'd be hungry but one was enough and man was it good! Savory, perfect mix of seasoning for the whole experience. And just the right time for waiting for your food. Even though there were only 3 ladies working the front, efficient, kind, and just overall good experience. Food wise, think of the last time you just wanted a traditional hotdog? Yeah, this bests that thought and expectation. Hotdogs are simple, so it's hard to do it wrong and many places do. Simbads though? Nope. Every time I've gone in they've hit the mark and I can't thank them enough for their continued perfection!

    Chili cheese hot dog with onion potato chips

    First the food was absolutely amazing. I got their chili cheese hot dog with their iconic potato chips on the side. The service was incredibly friendly and although I haven't eaten inside, from what I was told and shown, it's definitely unique in a good way. I most definitely will be returning again

    A real gem of Reno. In business for over 40 years, Sinbad's started out as "Casper's" in San Leandro before parting ways and starting a new as Sinbad's. Kristine, the current owner has been the steward of Sinbad's for the last 17 years. My wife had the classic "Chicago Dog", with all the trimmings. What makes the hot dogs special is the all-beef dog. No pork, chicken or fillers. Just a great beef hot dog. The Hot Dog was warm and moist and had that proper "snap" a hallmark of a good Hot Dog. I went for the Chili Cheese Dog, another perennial favorite. All "dogs" start with the same Hot Dog and just vary the toppings. In my case, the Hot Dog was served open face, covered with delicious, meaty chili (with beans), a healthy serving of beans and onions. Situated in a small shop in a strip mall off Mc Carran, Sinbad's would be easy to miss. The restaurant is colorful, vibrant and welcoming. There is a "hall of fame" wall, hosting all the regulars. Love this. The staff are all quality, more personal friends of Kristine than employees. Greeted with a smile. Served like family. Do not miss this hidden gem of Reno.

    Sinbad's has been around forever and despite what seems like a simple culinary affair it has never disappointed! There's a good selection of toppings and they are liberally applied. Be sure to not pass on the homemade mac salad. The dining room is charmingly decorated with themed relics from the past when a hot dog and a coke was 0.05. The owner, Kristine, is usually behind the counter and a delight to chat with before downing a quality dog.

    I finally got to try this place, last month. For some reason, I thought I wrote the review already. I took my mom to visit my sister and decided we would bring some takeout home. We hadn't had hot dogs in awhile and Wienerschnitzel wasn't an option for me. Sinbad's was nearby and I have been wanting to try them for a very long time! Every time I drove by there, it was closed. Finally, I arrived when they were open! I purchased lunch for me, my mom, and our roommate. We were all very pleased! Good sized hot dogs and great toppings!

    Delish! Chili dog
    Karen R.

    Definitely divey, definitely delicious! All reports of a dog with "bite" are true. I would have liked my chili hot enough to melt the cheddar, but my chili dog was still delish to the last bite! Fun and varied wall decor in a tucked away spot of an older Sparks shopping center. Friendly and welcoming staff are icing on the chili. They knew names and orders of more than 50% of guests while I was enjoying my dog.

    Service was so friendly and fast! Hot dogs were great! Lots of topping options and specials to choose from. Fast and easy meal for families or solo. So glad to see them around. Since 1979!

    I haven't been to this place since 2020 and I was curious to see what it was like after all these years. I went inside to the strong aroma of cooking hot dogs mixed with the nice and cool air conditioning inside! The inside was very small, but they offer take out as well so that's hardly an issue. Plus, the inside was cozy as well and mostly clean, notably the tables and chairs were all clean and well kept, though the floor tiling could definitely use a deep clean or replacement. I was a little disappointed in the rather limited variety of chips as they were all the store bagged variety, and I was also disappointed that most of their sides were also packaged store type items, but it's not a complete deal breaker. The cashiers were both very friendly and very good at their work! I ordered some standard cheese dogs and a Vanilla shake and they were both very pleasant! The hot dogs were nice and tasty. They were very big too, which made them all the more filling! The shake was absolutely delicious and a decent size as well, though not as impressive as the hot dogs. Overall, I was very pleased to see that this place was just as good as I remembered it! A bit pricy, but the taste and portions definitely make it worth while! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes hotdogs! Lots of options and great taste make it a big positive for sure!

    Chicago Dog to Windy City standards!

    Sinbad's has been around for two or three decades now. I first had them when they were on Moana in Virginia Street way back in the day. I realized driving by a couple of weeks ago that I have not been back since before the pandemic began. Had a beautiful Chicago dog and a Frito pie, I forgot how fast they put out the food! Boom, your order is ready! I took a coworker down there last week that had never been there and the funny part is he is a native Nevadan. he went in on the chili, dog and Frito pie, and I did the Chicago dog again with a Frito pie. Again the friendly owner and her staff have the food out in record time.

    I love this restaurant. The hot dogs have that snap when you take a bite. We moved out of town but always come back when we visit.

    This is for the food, not the ice cream. Save your money. I've never eaten here before, my husband…read morewanted us to order "drive in diner" food. I glanced at yelp to see what the rating was and it was high so we ordered. It's somewhat my fault, I should have gone through the reviews on yelp which are mostly positive because of the ice cream- not the food. Hot dogs - Costco beef hot dogs in soggy bun. Go directly to Costco and get it for $1.50 instead. Grilled cheese- I realize we ordered takeout but this is the soggiest grilled cheese I've ever eaten. The cheese was rubber and the bread was like wet cardboard. Hamburgers- the patties were mid. Hard to tell if they were Costco beef patties but they probably were. They were also soggy and smothered in a watery copy of McD Big Mac sauce. Fries- ordered crispy and got frozen fries from a bag that were super soggy. Chili cheese fries- same as the fries above but added canned chili and canned cheese. Onion rings- previously frozen maybe Oneida onion rings from a bag. Cheaper to buy and make yourself. Corn dog- my daughter liked it but she likes the corn dogs that come in the freezer section at Safeway which this is exactly like. To sum it up- if you're getting any food, I'd go elsewhere. I'm sure the ice cream is good though given the other reviews. Maybe in person the French fries wouldn't be so soggy they disintegrate in your hands. The food was gross and overpriced for being what it was - resold frozen food items and Costco hot dogs. I thought this was like old school drive in diner food but it's not. Super disappointed as I ended up not eating any of it because it was just gross. Again, partially my fault for not reading the reviews on yelp and not just see a good rating and assume the food would be ok.
