    Diane C.

    What a wonderful day for some Sinbad hotdogs so glad they are now open for business after somebody ran into their entrance back in November my granddaughter came into town and said Noni let's go to Sinbad so we did those have to be the best hot dogs my granddaughter had a nacho dog, and I had a regular dog with lots of mustard and pickles so so good great choice so go they have the best hot dogs dogs

    Thank you Sinbad's

    I got to try out Sinbad's for the first time. My grandsons baseball team was sponsored by Sinbad's and as an appreciation, the Team came to say thank you. I had the chili Frito (Frito pie). It did not disappoint. I got each grandkid a hotdog. They're HUGE so I ended up with 1 leftover. My husband had the slaw dog and said it was good. I didn't get pictures of the food. Each person working was very kind and had patience for the crowd of us. My 2 youngest had to use the restroom and they were so kind to let them. We will for sure be back!

    So many cool things to look at!

    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!

    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).

    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!

    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

    My wife had the Chicago dog and she loved it. I went for the Frito chili bowl with sliced up hotdog in it because I'm watching my carbs and didn't wanna have a bun.

    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.

    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.

    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!
