We love Sinbad's Hot Dogs soooo much!!!! 10/10 phenomenal every single time. I haven't had one single bad item from the menu at all. One of my favorite things to get other than a cheese dog is a bowl of chili with extra cheese and light onion and one chopped up hot dog with fritos, and mustard. It is so comforting, cozy, and easily in my top three for favorite places with great chili and hot dogs. Each one has the perfect snap when you bite into it. They will forever be in my top five places to go for lunch. Kristine is so wonderful, incredibly kind, beyond hard-working and great to talk to. We always look forward to our visits and any new hot dog creations like the one that has pastrami. We love her staff as well, they're always so nice to talk to and they care about Sinbad's just as much as Kristine does. It is always so clean and organized even when it is super busy. This is an absolute MUST place to visit. You will not be disappointed. We love you so much Kristine and staff! We'll be back to see you all again very soon. Hugs! read more

The Polish Cheese dogs and a chili cheese dog are so yummy...the snap on the dog and steamed buns...can't wait for them to reopen.

Sinbad's Hot Dogs is a small hot dog establishment with limited days and hours (Tues through Fri, 10:30 am to 6:30 pm). They're friendly and serve up fantastic hot dogs. Yes, fantastic hot dogs... the kind that snap when you bite into them and the buns are so tender. Add fresh onions, tomatoes, ketchup, relish, yellow mustard and you have yourself a fantastic hot dog! They serve hot dog variations as well as sausages, different side dishes, and good old fashioned milkshakes. Ambiance is casual with a small number of tables in their dining area. Plenty of parking as they're located in a shopping center near McCarran Blvd and E. Lincoln Way (just North of the Sparks Marina Park). read more

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! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

I've been eating these hot dogs for 40 years! Seriously, when they opened 40 years ago, my mom couldn't wait to take me here because she used to eat Caspers and Kaspers in the bay area (two brothers, big fight over the name etc) and the marketing was that they were going to be like Caspers. The decor has changed a lot over the years from pirate ships to bright colors but the food has always remained consistent. I actually got hot dogs for myself and my mom yesterday but we ate them so fast that I didn't even think about taking pictures. I was having a good "gut day" and I hadn't had a Sinbad's hot dog in over a year. The only thing better than a Sinbads cheese dog is one you haven't had in a long time. They call themselves "The Home of the Steaming Wienie" and if you don't know what the difference is between a hot dog cooked the regular way and steamed hot dogs and buns, this will probably ruin other hot dogs for you when you find out. I have an affinity for the cheese dog, lots of mayo and onions only but my mom has always been about her toppings - tomatoes, relish, onions, mayonnaise and ketchup - no mustard. My mom has actually had dementia for over 10 years now and doesn't really talk much the last couple years, but she was obviously very happy and smiling while eating her hot dogs. Taste is a memory sense and I'm sure she remembers they were important if not, why. Make sure you check the hours before you stop in as they're not open the same hours as most places. Sorry, no photos but that jusy tells you we ate them too fast to even think about it and that says everything. read more

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. read more

Sinbad's has consistently been one of my go-to comfort food spots since I first came. Every time I am greeted with a smile and Kristine is never not happy to help out her customers. It's a great hometown vibe that I look forward to each time I come in. On top of that, the hot dogs are as good as ever and I will never get over that snap! This has become a staple restaurant in my rotation for the Reno/Sparks area and I hope to see it around for much longer. read more

This is the best place to have hotdog the ladies that work. There are just awesome. The hotdog's are fresh. The buns are steamed. I highly recommend this place. read more

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! read more

This is my favorite hot dog place. It's a small little place and very clean. The lady that owns it always makes you feel like you're a good friend. When you make your order she never writes anything down and she gets it right every time. I always get a cheese dog. It's how I like my dog. Their menu isn't very big which, for me, makes it easier to order. If you're looking for a good hot go to sinbad's. You won't regret it! read more

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. read more

Not a huge fan of hotdogs but these are AMAZING and Kristine is an absolute doll! 10/10 for sure!

This place always puts a smile on, me and my family's faces. They have different types of hotdogs, chips, smoothies, and treats. I usually come here for lunch or a quick snack. My husband loves the hot links with everything. I'm slowly making my way down the menu to try different things every time I come. So far my favorite is the chilli dogs with everything and the buffalo dog when it's in season. Every time we come in, we are met with smiles and good energy. The owner always makes us feel welcomed. She is nice and warm that way. Right now while my husband is on crutches it was nice to grab his favorite order from here. This place really made his day. #ThankYouThursday read more

In celebration of the 4th of July I feel like I need to get my Hot Dog reviews up! The snappiest hot dogs in the city! Sinbads is a long time institution and for some reason I haven't been for a number of years. But the "Sparks Food and Drink Week" brought me back. I went in after a work day to get the event dog with pastrami and swiss. The dog itself is perfection. Just enough bite and crunch and meaty goodness to hold up and not disappear into a pile of condiments and also flavorful enough to just be eaten on it's own. The bun is good and soft. The space is pretty small. But dogs really don't take long to eat and you can just take them all to go. I can't wait to take my wife back for one of my favorite dogs in town I just wish my diet would allow me to have one of these every week! read more

Today was my first visit to Sinbad's. The young lady taking the orders was great. Very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. The price was more than reasonable. Food delivery was very quick. Just for fun I thought I'd try the Hot Link Sausage Dog. Oh My Gosh ... it was awesome ! Without a doubt the best hot dog I've ever eaten. You can bet I'll be going back. Wow that Hot Link Sausage Hot Dog was great. read more

As someone who's lived in Chicago, I love a good hotdog. Sinbad has got that down pretty well, with a local vibe that you want to support. I recently went during lunch with my coworkers, it's going to be busy but the line moves. The chili cheese dog, will not disappoint. If I have anything to gripe it would be price, they aren't exactly a budget place especially if you're a big eater, but that's everywhere nowadays. Will be back to try all the rest they've got. read more

Very snappy and very tasty! We tried 4 of the dogs and we were not disappointed. Friendly crew and enjoyable seating area. Fun signs on the walls. Our favorite was the Chicago dog. read more

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.

If you've ever had an authentic coney.. with the hotdog being an authentic Vienna style all beef snappy dog but haven't found it here.. well look no further because this is the place!!! Can't believe it took me this long to find this place again. (My mom brought me here when I was a kid nearly 40 years ago) I had my #1 go to dog. The kraut with mustard, I also ordered the hot link. Both were hot and amazing! Top quality!!! Kraut was crisp too. I especially liked the snap of the Vienna style hotdog. The hot link has a really nice kick to it too. Delish. 10/10 The ladies at the counter are friendly. And helpful if you have any questions. The dining room is small and cozy. Outdoor seating too read more

First of all I love hotdogs! I craved hotdogs when I was pregnant with my son. Sinbad's has been around for decades and my husband and I have been eating hotdogs from Sinbad's just as long. Their menu has added some really good food to. Our favorite is chili cheese dogs with lots of cheese and onions. I wish they were open longer though. read more

For the past 3 years, we've been driving by Sinbad's as we go up McCarran. We've tried to stop before but it was closed when we tried. Now today, I had a craving for an all beef hot dog and my husband reminded me about Sinbad's ("the place we've been wanting to try") so my husband calls to see if they're open and the next thing you know, he's placing an order for pick up. The staff was friendly and quick. We got to Sinbad's to pick up our order in 5 minutes and we were on our way. We just got the 2 hot dogs, one with everything and the other with just mustard. And let me tell you they were some good hot dogs. They have a great taste, with a healthy hot dog snap. It's easy to say we enjoyed our quick little lunch and wondered why we didn't start eating at Sinbad's sooner. read more

We were in the area and wanted to grab a quick bite to eat and saw Sinbad's so we decided to stop in. It is small but cozy and clean. There were a couple other tables seated. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a woman at the counter. It is a pretty basic menu, hot dogs, polish dogs, chili dogs, with various selections of toppings. My wife and I each ordered a hot dog with various toppings. Our order was ready in a few minutes and we had a seat. We both enjoyed our meals and the prices are reasonable! read more

Still the best hot dogs in town! I remember going there when it first opened at Old Town Mall, a guy named Mike owned it then. I followed when he moved to this location in Sparks. I haven't been since new owners took over, I'll say that it's spot on still. So glad to have stopped in to pick up my mechanic a Chicago Dog to go and I had a wonderful Kraut Dog with mustard. Gotta love that snap when you take a bite! If you're looking for great hot dogs you must stop! read more

The closest hotdog to the original from the Casper Diners, 1950's Oakland, Calif. check out the wall display. With every Sinbad hotdog I recall one of my happiest memories. Buying a hotdog for 25 cents, going next door to the Fruitvale theater (10 cents) and winning my 1st bicycle in a raffle after the movie. read more
