How darn good can we be?
5 Star Rating 2/07/2011 In a city of buffets, eating at Shari's diner was a refreshing change. This friendly family-run diner is full of great 50s memorabilia - a great experience for Brits to see and Americans to reminisce over. We ate there twice. The breakfasts are modestly priced, served hot (no plates sitting under lamps to cool and congeal) and were massive. I took half the Taylor ham and egg sandwich home for the next day! The scrambles were man-size and my husband can definitely recommend the Stink'n Link'n, served in an omelet pan and piled high with eggs, feta cheese, spinach, mushrooms, sausages and toast on the side. Our lunch visit was to try the homemade burgers and again they are superb for taste and size; cooked to perfection but still moist. The very memory makes we want to drool! Do go for the experience and the great food - you won't be disappointed. Yourtravelgirl G. The Villages, FL
My wife and I started going to Shari's in the fall of 2008 and have been returning ever since with our baby daughter. Why is that so special? It is special because once you go there a few times, you feel like you're a part of the family, and it is a true family operation(3 generations work there!). The food is a definite plus. While I don't care for everything on the menu (who does at any place), we know what we like and stick with those items. The chicken fingers are a great reliable as are the French Toast, meat loaf and Fat Barry's honey fried chicken. The burgers have a very special bun made especially for Shari's. More recently they started serving ribs, and they are a big improvement over anything Tony Roma's has served in years. My 5 stars are for food, family atmosphere, and fun music emitting from the jukebox (which is not a digital monster like other places, but uses a lot of good CDs from the 50s through the 70s).

1/10/2011 My husband and I go to Shari's Diner at least twice a week and we LOVE it!!!The food is always carefully prepared, always to our order and delicious!!We also go there for the atmostphere and the people who run the diner-a family feeling to the place. They know us and what we like and it's always very comfortable and comforting!! I love to music from the juke box-very happy and festive in this unhappy world around us. We give Shari's Diner a 5 star rating!!!

Hi,
We were in there a couple of weeks ago. You two came up and visited with us. I had a Sharron Angle shirt on and my husband had a T-shirt that said "I voted for Harry Reid, Please forgive me". You two came up and complimented us on our T-shirts.
I'm a bit late in getting this out but wanted to let you know we loved our food and your great hospitality. You made it a personal experience for us. We also want to thank you for having the veggie burger since we are vegetarians. Sometimes we have a difficult time getting food at restaurants. We noticed you also offer grilled cheese.
We will be back. We have told many about you and look forward to bringing family there when they visit from out of state. We especially look forward to joining you some night for the Gospel and Grub. What a wonderful idea. You two are special people leading people to the Lord with your example and bringing people together to praise him.
Thanks again,

Shari's is a MUST when in Vegas
We were over on holiday from the UK, and had seen Shari's Diner on a programme we have over here. We just loved the whole American diner a la 1950's/1960's that Shari and Barry have going on, its fantastic even down to the jukeboxs' at the tables. We enjoyed talking to them, they are so friendly and the food was ace, just as we imagined.
In fact, even though we were in Vegas for 4 days we managed to enjoy eating at Sharis twice. If we lived in the area, we would be regulars.........................

Dear Sir,
I consider myself fortunate to live only around the corner from the finest casual dining experience in Las Vegas: "Shari's Diner."
The retro-style diner is owned and operated by Shari and excels in all areas of "concern" to both the casual and connoisseur diner. The ambiance is elegantly
reminiscent of a 50's style establishment replete with red-vinyl seating locations, jukebox and black-and-white tiled floor. The food is consistently delicious and served in an abundant quantity. The service is prompt and considerate with staff servers Diane and Jodi excelling in their duties. The price is more than reasonable and less than
you'll find at comparable eateries such as Denny's or Applebee's.
I enthusiastically recommend "Shari's Diner" as an enjoyable experience that you'll want to revisit over and over. Yours truly,
Arthur A.

i LOVE iT ! ! ! !
After driving by Shari's Diner several of times I finally decided to eat-in with my sister and friend. We were greeted by Shari's husband. We told him that this was our first time here, and he was kind enough to go through the menu with us and explain. We ordered Milk Shake, Classic Burger, Breakfast, and Chili Cheese Fries. All I can say is Yum! Yum!Yum! The food was great, and the portions were more then enough. This was our first time there, and it wont be the last! Besides the GREAT F00D, amazing customer service.

Dear Sharis Diner,
My name is Christopher and I was out at your diner from the UK last week you may remember me I was with my girlfriend Danielle.
A guy opposite bought our breakfast for us just before he left.
I want to say how blown away we were to start a day with such kindness it was just amazing!
This is the reason I visit the States so much the generosity we get from people all over the country is matched by no one.
It was such a experience to feel the warmth from just one person who really touched our hearts that day.
We have so many friends in Vegas and all over America and always experience great times in your country.
With negativity and stereotypes regarding war and other issues it always brings me back to meeting the real people of any country. Having travelled all over the word I would regard America as a great country with amazing people and this one experience puts that theory into real life experience.
I can't thank the guy enough or you guys at the diner for your kind welcome only hold a place in my thoughts for that special day for the rest of my life.
I will always welcome any American into my country with open arms such as I was welcomed.
Kind Regards.
Chris Jones :)
Finally ! A Diner in Las Vegas!!!
I grew up in the New York / New Jersey corridor where diners were a way of life. Shari's is the closest thing to those diners in Vegas in a long time. The food is fresh and prepared as you order it not like the restaurant chains loaded with microwaves. I had lunch followed by a piece of home baked apple pie a la mode which was great. The service was friendly and down home ! Give Shari's Diner a try !

I have to tell you, SHARI'S DINER IS THE BOMB!!! The food is fantastic, VERY generous portions, and absolutely filling in a nutritious way. I also learned that everything is served fresh, NO CANNED VEGGIES! MY KIND OF RESTAURANT!!!
LOVE the juke boxes! That 50's feel is such a great atmosphere!
You've gotta visit Shari's Diner: YOU'LL LOVE IT!
MY HUSBAND & I HAD DINER AT A 50'S DINER A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO THAT IS LOCATED ON THE SOUTH EAST CORNER OF LAKE MEAD BLVD. & BUFFALO. IT IS CALLED SHARI'S DINER. AFTER EATING AWESOME FOOD WITH GREAT PORTIONS AND REASONABLE PRICES WE SPOKE WITH THE OWNER SHARI (THE DINERS NAME SAKE)AND HER HUSBAND BARRY (WHO HAS QUITE AN INTERESTING PROFESSIONAL HISTORY) AND FOUND OUT THEY HAVE BEEN THERE JUST ABOUT A YEAR. THE RESTAURANT IS VERY NOSTALGIC. LOTS OF NOT JUST GOOD FOOD BUT "DARN GOOD" (AS THE SIGN SAYS). BURGERS WITH FRESH MADE BUNS, AWESOME FRIES, POT ROAST THAT MELTS IN YOUR MOUTH, FRESH WARM & SWEET CINNAMON ROLLS; OH I COULD GO ON BUT IT IS JUST MAKING ME HUNGRY. IT IS FAMILY FRIENDLY, A FAMILY CAME IN WITH 6 OR 8 KIDS AND THEY DIDN'T BAT AN EYE.
WE TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THIS PLACE BUT I WANTED TO DO A LITTLE MORE TO GET THE WORD OUT WHICH IS WHY I AM SENDING YOU THIS EMAIL. WE THINK YOU WOULD BE DOING YOU READERS A FAVOR BY FEATURING THIS GEM IN YOUR COLUMN. EVEN IF YOU DON'T REVIEW THIS GREAT LITTLE RESTAURANT, AT LEAST STOP BY AND TREAT YOURSELF TO SOME "DARN GOOD FOOD"

This location has been through a few iterations over the years, but it is now known as Shari's. From what I read in the local paper (http://www.lvrj.com/ne...) it is a family owned and operated establishment. Upon entering, you can confirm this, as it feels like it. The staff was very friendly. I went on a Sunday ~11am, and the place was jumping. Could have been because of the recent write-up in the RJ, but they said that weekend business has been brisk for awhile now. I had the monstrous breakfast sandwich (it has a funny name that escapes me right now), the wife had a burger, and the kids had pancakces. All was quite good, and nothing felt fake or processed. I am growing tired of the places that just deep fry everything. Not this place.
I went for lunch a few days later, had their classic burger, and it too was quite good. They have a sauce with it that is tasty, and they didn't bat an eye when I asked for gravy-fries (I think it must be an East Coast thing). The Chicken Vegetable soup was really excellent, probably the best part of the meal. Very fresh, seasoned just right.
I reserve 5 stars for only my favorite haunts, which would leave them at 4 stars. I took one star away, because I feel like when the bill was tallied, it felt a little pricier than it seemed going in. Thus they get 3, which is still good in my book. Oh, one last thing, they use great buns! Not dry and stale like the stuff you get at some places.

Just a little note to let you know how much we enjoyed your diner and that we thought you guys were the best, when we were out there last December. We were there with Adam & Bethany K. (who live near your diner). We will there again during Thanksgiving week, and looking forward to eating at your diner again. We think your diner is the greatest!!!!!!!!!!!

I've eaten three or four times at Shari's Diner. Since I live far southeast, as opposed to northwest where Shari's is located, I don't get the chance to go there but on occasion. I am always telling people about this place, because the food is great with reasonable pricing.

This place is a walk down memory lane. I come to relax and reflect on a time when life was more simple. I can't remember a time since I have enjoyed a meal so well. The servers will come and sit with you to chat if you want. Everyone truly cares about you and your experience.

New England's got nothing on you guys. Collettes Clam Chowder is worth the trip. You should package it to go!

Shari's Diner is fantastic. Great food, great music, the staff is friendly and service is fast. Shari's Diner is on my exercise route and sometimes, while doing my 6 mile bicycle ride I stop for Ice Tea and a cup of soup.
You've got to try Colette's soups. Colette is Shari's daughter and she whips up great home spun recipes. Fantastic !!! If you just want to sit, relax and have a light breakfast, this is the place. They have some fantastic desserts as well.
MIKE
I love Shari's Diner! As soon as you walk in it feels like you are part of one big food loving family :) The food is amazing. My favorite is their chicken burger with pineapple rings! I definitely make my way over to Shari's Diner whenever I am back in Vegas. Its just like Cheers "Where everybody knows your name!"
