SNS Diner BBQ

If you saw SNS Diner from the street, you might think it’s just another cozy local neighborhood spot—but man, would you be missing out. We walked in expecting standard diner fare and walked out absolutely blown away. This place has that authentic, welcoming "local" feel, but the kicker is that their BBQ is legit elite. We really went for it and tried a bit of everything: * The Philly Cheesesteak: Perfectly seasoned and loaded. It’s hard to find a good one around here, but they nailed it. * The Pastrami Burger: This was a total standout. The pastrami was tender, smoky, and paired perfectly with the burger patty. * The Wings: Seriously, these are a must-try. Crispy, flavorful, and easily some of the best wings we’ve had in a long time. Beyond the lunch and dinner heavy hitters, they also serve up a great breakfast with some really unique options you won’t find at your typical greasy spoon. Whether you’re looking for a low-key spot for a morning meal or some of the best BBQ in town, highly recommend checking this place out. It’s cozy, friendly, and the food is unexpectedly awesome. We’ll definitely be back!

You guys this place is delishhhh! The place itself is super cool inside with the decoration and outside too, where they have a little terrace to eat outside and a rusty vintage truck as a planter which I thought was so awesome and unique 🙌🏻... The food was amazing! We tried ribs, gumbo, brisket, smoked chicken and all was so good! Their cornbread amazing and definitely ask for the honey butter to spread on it which makes it even more amazing. The service was on point, super on top of everything, food came out quick, they were very kind and happy people. This is a place that is definitely one to return and I recommend it to anyone who hasn't gone!

Pulled pork was incredible! Tender and flavorful! Bun was the perfect softness. Side items are usually a problem for most places to get right, so I was skeptical if the mac and cheese would be as I remember it was here. Mac had ideal consistency and texture. Cheese was creamy and smooth with a natural cheese flavor that many places miss. No gritty, processed texture to the mac and cheese which is worth the visit alone. Price is reasonable for the amount of work needed to produce food this good. Meal for two plus tip $49. Baby back ribs and brisket were as juicy and full of flavor as I remember from here. Not sure if Mike is still the owner/operator, but if so... well done Mike! Continued success on a truly superb eating experience! My only wish was that the biscuits and gravy were offered all day long since I was after those initially.

We were a party of ten, and Seth, our server, took excellent care of us. He offered great suggestions—every one of them spot-on. Thanks to him, I tried a Moscow Mule for the first time and even added the honey butter to my cornbread. I don’t usually like sweet flavors, but it was phenomenal. I also ordered a cup of gumbo, which was delicious. I ended up so full that I had to take my rib tips and greens home.

Great place to get something to eat. It was an interesting preparation on my beef ribs. Sides were delicious too! Great prices !

We returned for some potato salad and also ordered a pastrami sandwich. My marble rye was just right. The large helping of Pastrami was hot and perfect with just the right amount of fat. The kraut was crunchy and wonderfully sour . LOVED IT ....Eveything was OK. The owner was present and very friendly. We ordered to go. 3 meat combo ; rib tips, hot link, brisket, mac & cheese, smoked beans, potato salad, and corn bread. The potato salad was my favorite it tasted like my moms. The rib tips were fine. The brisket was good. The sausage had a great snap and taste, not much spice though. We enjoyed it for lu ch. Portions a little smaller than other local bbq, but still plenty for two with a little for later.

LOVE THIS PLACE! Breakfast was delicious. And we ordered barbecue to go! We would have missed it but a local told us about it while our RV was getting a repair. Definitely worth the time to check it out.

Navigation is the only thing that’s puzzling going through parked trucks to get to spot. Food was top tier . Really enjoyed the wings… potato salad and cornbread. Wife enjoyed the beef ribs…said they were tender. Would definitely go back.

Well just prepare your self for some of the best BBQ ever this is the spot great food wings all meat lovers will enjoy the cornbread is that of comfort a timeless setting with a great Service and a ambiance that is timeless enjoy this food My GPS is set for this restaurant Thank you Stars

We only got to go here but was received warmly when we came in. The wait wasn't that long on a Saturday afternoon. We ordered the 2-meat (baby back ribs and smoked chicken) with rice and beans as the side and 3-meat sampler (rib tips, pulled pork and brisket) with potato salad as the side. The meats were all tender but bland. I guess because you are supposed to pair it with their own barbecue sauce original or hot. I chose the original one. The sauce did wonders. Potato salad is homemade and was also good. Each came with cornbread which was so moist and delicious!

This place should be on the "must visit" list for Las Vegas Breakfast and BBQ. We thought it was as good or better than Rolling smoke or Jesse Rae's for the BBQ. Disclaimer: We have not tried the Brisket. Our goal was for a Saturday Breakfast but we over slept and came for early lunch instead. What I like about this place is you get a diner experience but with BBQ. Gumbo was on the menu that tc and we decided to order a bowl to start and share. It came piping hot with cornbread. It was so good we could have been satisfied with just the Gumbo and their delicious cornbread with Honey Butter. We also enjoyed the Smoked Pastrami Reuben. It was our first time trying Smoked Pastrami and we loved it Next came the Baby Rack ribs and it was so meaty and juicy we had 2 bones each and it filled us up. We also ordered the Rib Tips and it was very good. The rib tips were tender and juicy. It was very good without being drenched in BBQ sauce. The sides were got was the Cole Slaw, BBQ Beans and more Corn bread (so good) with that Honey Butter. The Cole Slaw was refreshing and the dressing was perfect. The Beans were ok but I like it better with than other place we'e tried. We had are d a great experience here this past Saturday thanks no our lovely waitress explaining the menu and constantly checking up on us. She even noticed that we had a Veterans License plate and gave us a Veteran's discount. The service was good . Our waitress stopped by frequently to check on us.

Another best kept secret of Vegas hidden in the hood! This place is so clean and fun! Every server knows their stuff and gives you the best service! Although it's a BBQ joint, I'm obsessed with their gumbo! And that says alot coming from being a Local NOLA gal!

First time here and it is awesome. Some of the best BBQ I have ever had. The waitress was awesome. The place is clean and very cute inside. Highly recommend it.

It didn't look like much when we pulled up but this place delivered! Really enjoyed the food and the service. The kids and I all tried the Mac n cheese which we LOVED. Has a nice amount of pepper for a little kick and is very creamy and cheesy. We got the 2 meat platter with brisket and ribs tips with cornbread, all delicious. The sausage hot link and baked potato were good but with so many other great options I'd probably pass on these in the future. Loved the brisket Philly cheesesteak that was definitely something I'll have again. Filled up so much we didn't get to try dessert but will definitely try the bread pudding and banana pudding. This place is a must try for BBQ lovers!

We wanted to try this place a couple times at different times of the day before giving a review. So we came for breakfast the other day and had some giant breakfast burritos that sis not skimp on the ingredients. What a pleasant surprise for a breakfast burrito as they have a delicious subtle smoky flavor to them due to some of the smoked meats they put inside. Man we're they good and plenty filling! My husband is a hearty eater and even he said "oh man I'm having a hard time finishing it but I want to because it's so good". We came back for round two but this time for dinner. My husband ordered the 3 meat (he chose brisket , hot links, and ribs). We also each ordered a green salad. The salad was fresh, crisp and just the right amount. He but into a rib and ....All I heard as he took his first bite was "Oh mannnnn" with lots of lip smacking and "mmm's". Needless to say it was a hit. The meat didn't even need any extra sauce but we had to try the sauces and they were both good. He likes the spicier one in the orange bottle best. I had the rib tip plate with a side of potato salad and cornbread. The rib tips were as tasty as I hoped they would be. No sauce needed but just to get that extra punch of sauciness I chose the original and it was smoky & tangy goodness. The potato salad says "homemade" on the menu and it most certainly is. Tastes just like how I would make it and that's how I wanted it. Very good. Just the right amount of seasoning too. The cornbread I saved to take home but not before taking a bite while it was warm and it was just the right amount of sweet and crumble. I can't wait to enjoy the rest lasted for that late night treat. Overall super satisfied. Great service , super friendly and efficient staff , very clean place and the food is excellent. It was worth coming back for a round two and we will for sure be back whenever we are in town. I highly recommend coming here when you crave that old school BBQ done right. Thank you SNS!

Amazing food and sweet staff. Good prices and lots of seating indoors and outside. I highly recommend

Came here for lunch and it was great! We were greeted immediately and could choose our own seat. We both got the three meat platter. Mine was brisket, pulled pork, and smoked chicken, my side was collard greens, and it came with sweet moist corn bread. Spouse got brisket, pulled pork, and hot link with smokey baked beans, sweet cornbread and honey butter. WOW this was a delicious meal! All the meats were cooked correctly and mouth watering. They have BBQ sauce on the table but not needed because the meats were so flavorful! The inside is a cute setup with tables chairs and booths. They also have a full bar to sit at. They have outdoor seating as well. Our food came out quickly and the staff were nice. It was a good vibe with country music playing in the background. I highly recommend eating here! Enjoy some great BBQ!

SNS Diner & BBQ is also known as Southern Nevada Smoke House. They are located in North Las Vegas. They are a very unique BBQ and Breakfast restaurant. They offer an outdoor patio. They also offer bar seating, counter seating, traditional booth/table seating, and a drive thru. In addition to all the bbq they also offer burgers, several smoked sandwiches, soup, salad, bbq tacos, and daily specials. If they look familiar to you then there's a good chance you watched them on Food Network's Diners Drive-Inns and Dives. We tried the smoked pastrami sandwich and the three meat plate (brisket, pulled pork & hot links). The one thing that really stood out and differed from other BBQ restaurants that I've been to was that the sides were much better than from other bbq restaurants (Mac 'n' cheese, rice & beans, corn bread). Also the service was much better.As for the meats today some were better than others. Maybe today the pastrami and pulled pork were the best. Both were moist and flavorful. The hot link was also good. The brisket today wasn't bad but was the least exciting. We got a very lean piece of brisket that was very mild with flavor and on the dry side. Our server was really attentive and great! I would recommend trying SNS Diner & BBQ

Ordered take out last night from here because we read good things. Unfortunately all three of us have food poisoning today and that was the only food we shared. We won't be going back

The Food we ordered was delicious. Enjoyed some good brisket. The cornbread tasted a bit like vanilla cake but it was still great with that honey butter. Gumbo was good with a Smokey taste. Berry cobbler was great especially the vanilla ice cream. Our server was wonderful!!

Been to this spot about 5 times in my 1 year in Vegas. Beautiful spot, kind of rustic. Sweet and the food is amazing. Each visit the service has been exceptional. I highly recommend this place. You won't regret it.

The sausage, and ribs were delicious. The corn bread was absolutely fantastic. Couldn't recommend anymore.

Smoked Chicken is fantastic. Pleasant smoke not over done. Skin is wonderful. Red beans and a must get. Enjoyed the ribs pulled pork and brisket. Fries are another must get. Brought home bread pudding and banana pudding as we were Full.

We came to the diner on the assumption that they still had breakfast. It was 10:01 and the server was hesitant, but asked the kitchen and they accommodated us. We got the chicken fried brisket which was really unique. Never seen that before! It was a bit oily, the potatoes were slightly undercooked, the over-easy egg was unseasoned. I wasn't disappointed nor impressed. It felt rushed, and since it was a transition from breakfast to lunch, I think that played into the meal. I asked the server for a greyhound and she didn't have any grapefruit juice, so I got a screwdriver and the orange juice was not quality. The reason I give it 3 stars is because the brisket itself was well smoked, I liked the bbq sauce, so I suspect their bbq is good. I'd come back. At 10am there weren't a ton of people, but I bet on a busy night it's a casual and bustling atmosphere.

Been coming here since 2019 and still one of the best if not THE best bbq restaurants in Vegas!!!! Seriously! Staff is overwhelmingly kind and courteous. Very high quality food. 5 of us ate lunch today and each one had a different meal without any issues whatsoever. Each meal was Fanfreakintastic. Great fry's!!! There's a reason why every table is occupied at 11:00am on a Tuesday!!! Also, this restaurant is very clean.

Terrible service! Sat at drive thru for over 5 mins without response. Went inside and nobody was serving any guests. Left after multiple mins without seeing a worker.

Wow! I had high hopes for this place honestly and this was my second time here and I won't be returning because of stubborn services. I got drive thru breakfast sandwiches and my bread was not toasted it was stuffed in a mini box and was soggy! I asked for mayo in my sandwiches and got mayo packets! ? C'mon Chef? Where's the chef? Honestly I don't see any manager during the morning so if I can get some information on what's going on over there please contact me. I payd over $20 for 2 soggy breakfast sandwiches there was no love for the order or food or representation of the company.

Great service family owned place. The sauces were delicious and the meats were flavorful.

So we were looking for a place to have dinner "Off-Strip" and someone recommended this place. It's, very unassuming, wasn't at all crowded, and we were warmly greated and sat right away. The menu looked pretty ordinary as BBQ menus, go, but when I saw the sides, there was Smoked Beans & Rice. I asked about it and opted for the Red Beans & Rice instead. I had the best rib tips I've had anywhere along with a nice hunk of homemade Cornbread with honey butter. My sweetheart had a brisket sandwich, and the brisket was tender, tasty and, has that great smoke ring you love to see. I had peach cobbler for dessert and my wife had the apple they were both delicious, especially with a large dollop of vanilla ice cream on top This isn't particularly easy to find, but we'll worth the trip! If you're in Vegas, don't miss this hidden gem!

So in this commercial area is what appears to be your typical truck stop, but then there is SNS. Not sure what is stands for but it is a must see and eat! I've been places where beef ribs you need 4 large orders to get full. One large order feed two of us! The slaw and what they call corn bread and that butter is really tasty pound cake. If we lived closer I would weigh at least 25 lbs more! Gotta go! The strip eats has nothing on SNS!

Wasn't very busy this morning but the service and food was delicious. An order of biscuits and gravy, fried brisket with eggs and potatoes, and an order of pancakes w/ eggs and bacon. All the food was served hot and as ordered. They do not offer a kids menu either. The serving sizes were perfect. The only leftovers were from the child with us.

this place is a hidden gem. we I found this place on yelp and tried calling in advance to place an order but their phone lines were saying "call busy." this was a little frustrating because it was a large order and I like trying to place things like that in advance. when we showed up it was a Saturday night and only a couple of seats in this establishment were taken. The ambiance of this place is def like an old school diner/truck stop. The walls had such nice art on it and they had a bar area as well. Xavier was the server that helped us and he was so nice and attentive and they didn't mess up on our order at all! (Which is usually hard when you have such a huge party) We ordered our food to go, but it was still nice and warm when we got home. Let's just say it was hard to take pictures of the food before everyone started eating because they all finished their plates completely! I like how their bbq isn't too slathered in sauce and they offer sauces on the side so you can pick your own ratio. The Mac and cheese was good and and not overly cheesy, and seasoned nicely. Their cornbread had actual pieces of corn in it. Don't sleep on this place. I will def come back again because they had something for everyone!

This place was so good usually John mulls roadkill Grill is my go to, but this place was amazing. They give you a generous amount of food. The staff was very friendly. I ordered last-minute catering and they got it done super quick the chef personally helped me out to my car, that was so nicr! My first time trying it and it was take out was still good I can imagine having it store is even better, The location is adorable. Definitely has that old diner feel!

The food was so good. Large portions, homemade, reasonably priced. Would recommend the meatballs, beef ribs, and bread pudding. Will be back the next time we visit Vegas!

The food here was excellent! Service was outstanding! We had the St. Louis ribs (so many ribs!!) with the side of Mac and cheese, our son had the pulled pork sandwich, and our daughter had the Mac and cheese. We all had cornbread which was delicious! Our server was great! He offered helpful suggestions, since this was our first time there, and he made sure we all enjoyed our food. The cook even came by during our dinner to check on us. Great experience!

Getting into the diner was a bit of adventure as we needed to turn left from Losee and it was about 5:30 pm so we took a bit of a detour through the truck stop. Anyway, parking was ample and the place was pretty quiet when we arrived We were greeted by a lovely waiter with a great personality. She gave us a nice explanation of the menu. We had the 3 meat platter and the Turkey dinner monthly special. The Turkey was delicious and the brisket was also a favorite. The bread pudding was the highlight of the meal. We also enjoyed the red beans and rice a lot which was a monthly special. The corn bread was sooo good. The interior was clean and had a lot of seating. The staff was all really friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed it. They were out of pork ribs so we will have to come back to check it out. The draft beer selection isn't amazing but for us that was okay as we were there to eat.

Our server Thalia was really nice. She provided us with fast friendly service. The brisket was pretty good, the ribs are fire. You can go ahead and skip the chicken, it was dry and had no flavor. The cornbread was pretty good with the honey butter they gave us. I heard the mac and cheese was good too. I liked the sauce that was available, but I wish they had some options. I like to have all different kinds of rib sauce when I'm pigging out! Overall decent place with good service.

First time here since the changed over form McDonald's too SNS dinner. service was friendly and the food was delicious thanks again for a wonderful experience

ATTN**** HIGHLY RECOMMENDED*** Wow this place is amazing. I've been searching for some great BBQ since I moved to Vegas a few years ago. Let me tell ya, this place is Smokin!!! Listen, I'm No pitmaster, just a hungry guy who knows delicious food. I've had great bbq in Austin and Los Angeles and I love eating pork so I've been trying to find my favorite place in Vegas. Bingo SNS!!! Service was on point, good warm welcoming feel. Greeted as soon as I hit the door. Jonathan and Sarah were very friendly and welcoming. They had nothing but great things to say and didn't mind personal conversation that made me feel very welcome. So thank you for being you! I've been a few times now, I live across town in Henderson. I came across this place because I'm a part time Uber driver (needless to say) I make it in during closing hours so the dining room is quiet and ready for me. Old fashion trunk stop with plenty of room for large groups. Nice bar area and clean restrooms which earn huge points. Of course I forgot to take pictures as I usually show up very hungry and get right to work. Trust when I say my riders ask for food recommendations and SNS is on that list of stop and check this place out. Thanks again!

Oh my goodness, yikes in a fantastic way! We left 20 minutes ago and my hubby is still expressing how good EVERYTHING was. We not only enjoyed our own meal but must admit we took tastes of each others (of our family...we didn't go over to the strangers table who had an amazing looking burger). Our family got beef ribs (so fall off bone, minimum fat, so tasty), brisket tender, rib tips delicious with good amount of sauce already on, chicken moist and Smokey, sausage perfect heat going on, sides were potato salad, the jalapeño coleslaw my husband loved, daughter shared her creamy Mac/cheese. Desserts we want the recipes!! Bread pudding was the best we've had...homemade (even the caramel sauce) and peach cobbler Ala mode. Portions were large, prices so fair, and beyond delicious. Took my leftovers home cause knew we were going to try the in-house desserts. Another yikes, so good. My grandson (4 year, picky) tasted our appetizer meatballs.and even exclaimed " this place is awesome". We are here only a few days and are planning on coming back for breakfast. Our waiter was professional, friendly, gave us great input of the menu questions we had excellent service even though it was busy. Food came out quickly. Owner stopped by our table. Enjoyed chatting with him also. Tables inside and outside. Clean, fun atmosphere. Don't miss out on this place. Thanks Yelp for helping us find this place!

Really good food here. We came with a few people. The experienced waitress had no problem taking care of us. Surprisingly, it was very quiet in here probably because everybody's face was stuffed with food. With the location I'm sure this place gets super busy.

At SNS Diner BBQ, prepare to have your taste buds singing the hallelujah chorus! The smoked meats, oh my, they're like a flavor symphony in your mouth. Each tender bite is a journey to savory paradise, leaving you feeling as satisfied as a Sunday feast. The rich smokiness and perfectly seasoned crust create a balance that's pure bliss. If you're craving a BBQ experience that will elevate your senses, SNS Diner BBQ is the place to be.

One of our favorite places to eat while In Vegas. Highly recommend! Use to be at a little hole in the wall, they moved and the food is still good as ever.

HANDS DOWN, THE BEST BBQ I HAVE EVER TASTED IN MY LIFE!!!!! Love the ribs the meat is beyond tender and explodes with a smoky flavorful goodness as you consume it!!!!! With relatives in the south and being from the east coast I have tried many renditions of smoked brisket!!! The Brisket at this establishment is out of the realm of comprehension it is so good! Good does NOT begin to give you any justice on just how tasty it is! The cornbread is to die for!!!! It's a cross between soft, SWEET, moist Duncan Heinz cake batter with corn mixed in. I'm totally in love!!!! I don't care for the sides at all! I hate that with their combos or meals is it that they force you to get their sides!!!! There should be an option of purchasing the items you want without picking something you know you will never eat!!! I love the staff there and never want to be rude so I always get extra cornbread rather than the Mac and cheese or greens not my thing... The Mac and cheese noodles have always been overcooked and the greens have never been tender! My family and I started going here when it was on Colton Ave. So we are long time customers! I just wish I wasn't faced with being in the uncomfortable position of having to purchase the sides! The main courses are where it is!!!! To sum things up obviously I think the food is great... BBQ EATEN WITHOUT THE SAUCE!!!! WHO KNEW?????

My adult daughter and I stopped her during a road trip back from Moab, UT. Let's start with the bad. Easy to miss the proper turn off. As you exit I-15 south do get into that far right lane and turn onto Losee road. You will still need to turn left across traffic. And this is a busy intersection. That's it for bad. Make that turn because this place is worth it. We entered and were hit with air conditioning (it was 111outside) and the cheery voice of a waitress welcoming us. She beckoned us over to a table while she did a quick wipe down. I'm a pescatarian and had no business in a BBQ place but the sides were worth it. I got their smoked beans and rice, loaded smoked baked potato and their vinegar coleslaw. I am sooo happy. I don't need the sour cream or cheese and happily load my smoked beans into the potato (oh hush, I like it). My daughter got the pulled pork, coleslaw and collard greens. She enjoyed them but I gotta confess the collard greens were too salty. I loved that my potato was infused with that smoked flavor. The beans had a slight sweetness. And with the acid from the coleslaw it was happy in my mouth. Waitress with great smile was helpful with suggestions and just so friendly. It made the whole experience one of the nice memories of a mother daughter road trip.

Excellent restaurant unusual location but great selection great staff fast and professional delicious food I will come here again and again... A+++++ came here with coworkers... excellent venue

My co-worker suggested this place after we'd been working all morning. I love a good diner experience. They have amazing BBQ so I decided to get the pulled pork sandwich combo. I got a side of greens and cornbread. Everything was delicious. They also have a full bar but like most places they don't have mint. If I want mojito I basically have to go back to Miami. Overall, I love this place and wish I could order because it's so far from the strip.

We asked the waiter for his recommendations and we weren't disappointed. The restaurant itself has a very BBQ feel to it. Both of us ordered the 2 meat option. We both got the brisket, my friend got the pulled pork and I got the ribs. She got the Mac and cheese and I got the potato salad. We tried both the sweet and spicy BBQ sauces. Everything tasted great! To top of the meal, we had the corn bread, which with the honey butter, was like a dessert. Would try again.

Brisket is tasteless no smoke. Ribs tough! Need sauce. Greens, beans and rice are sweet. Sauces are sweet.

This place lures you in with the smell when you drive by. Awesome bbq. Always friendly, always good food.

Such a great BBQ place. The cornbread is AMAZING. hands down my favorite cornbread besides my own. With the honey butter - yum!! The Mac and cheese is pretty tasty too. Great customer service.

Great food! All the BBQ meats (tried 4 different types) were cooked perfectly and great tasting. Sides were great. Some of the best cornbread served with each meal. Friendly and quick service. Will be back.

Just like the Southern cooking BBQ peach cobbler on time also would recommend and used to be in a truck stop next door ... Amazing service Amazing food Rib Tips were Fantastic with the Mac and cheese collar greens and peach cobbler for the finish with a scope of ice cream of course.

Over prices and the food was not good. It had no real flavor...................................

Gave it 3 stars because the service is quick. However, probably the worst tasting bbq joint in Las Vegas. To top it off it's a glorified truck stop.

Heavenly Fathers Day weekend at SNS Diner. SNS stands for Southern Nevada Smokehouse. Mom enjoyed a pulled pork platter with Coleslaw, potatoe salad and cornbread. My brother had the Brisket Philly with sautéed peppers, onions & mushrooms topped with Monterey Jack cheese. I ordered the brisket and hot links platter with smoked beans and cornbread. Mom and I enjoyed a Margarita. Great food and service. Dad would have loved this barbecue find.

This review is about the experience, I experienced from the restaurant.The owners Mike & Polly operate a beautiful, clean & modern looking Diner & BBQ eatery! The service from Celeste & the rest of the wait staff is always friendly & attentive. The back of the house staff, Chef Cesar, prep Chef Nomi, to Sylvester & Molly( from Molokai) to everyone working there is extremely accommodating & friendly !The food served is top notch when sent to each customer & their BBQ is Killer! Go try them out & experience their Vegas Hospitality!
