Virginia City Jerky Co — Restaurant in Dayton

October 2017. On my 1st visit I purchased 3 bags of pre-packaged jerky, then discovered later that they were made by a different company in Carson City. All 3 were coated with a sugary glaze. Yuk.

Round 2 began with the greeting of "We're sold out of everything." They still had their own jerky so I bought 3 varieties, all of which are saddle bag worthy because they were very well dried for long term storage but none of the flavors impressed me. Ho hum....

My most recent trip occurred because a friend said the pulled pork sandwich is "fantastic". She weighs about 105 and eat salad for lunch, but.... I bought the BBQ pulled pork with coleslaw on it (which gave the pork some much needed moisture) and a side of beans. The canned beans tasted of chili powder and sugar but had real bacon/pork. I would not want to order anything from this combo again. I also bought a tri tip sandwich (tender, smoke flavored and tasty) with cornbread (sweet with a few corn kernels). The tri tip seemed to have an after taste so I wonder if they use something like Liquid Smoke. Total cost for both meals = $23.

The staff was friendly and the tri tip was ok. Each sandwich came with a tasty pickle spear. The prices were reasonable for Virginia City and not out of line at all. If I were to visit again I would want the tri tip dip (like a French dip) and the mediocre coleslaw or just an extra pickle spear. I don't like being harsh but this place seems very over rated. The friendly staff is responsible for my 3rd star, otherwise I would...

This was pretty decent BBQ, the prices are a bit high, I had the pulled pork sandwich, the meat was great, the bun..more like a large English muffin style of bread, he ordered the VC cheesesteak, he said the meat was really good, the cheese was a squeeze style liquid cheese, and the bread was the same English muffin style..he said it was soggy on the bottom and dry on the top, flavorless. I just kept adding BBQ sauce, that is available in 4 options on every table. I ordered a hot dog, no bun, just the hot dog, (the brand is Nathan's )so my service Animal would have food too. For just the hot dog, no bread or fixings..it was $4.65. For both sandwiches and that link, we paid over $30, including the medium sized fountain soda we shared. We did not try the jerky, so I can't comment on that. After spending more than $30 for lunch,(2 sandwiches, and a single hot dog)I could no reason to spend more there. Here's a tip..go down to some of the other places, Silver Queen, or Red Dog, Ponderosa, or any other place for more reasonable prices. This is a tourist trap for sure. We are locals to the area, and were surprised at the pricing on this, you'd definitely expect higher quality... We wouldn't have minded the cost of the...

Very quaint. Outdoor seating only. There are several tables with umbrellas and several uncovered picnic tables. You walk into this small entryway one person at a time, so have the rest of the family grab a table. You can choose jerky prepackaged or they can package it up for you. They do not serve fries . However, they do serve sandwiches. Pastrami, tri-tip and a few other types. All meat. Each sandwich is served with a bag of chips or choice of side. The sides are; coleslaw, mac-n-cheese, beans (pinto with bacon), chili with homemade chorizo. Potato salad and cornbread served with a wrapped pat of butter and a plastic knive. Highly recommend the corn bread. It was warm and delicious, not sweet with a slight kick that makes you want to take another bite to figure out what pleasure you've just experienced. After ordering go back outside to your table, they call your name from the side door when your order is ready. They have prepackage condiments; such as ketchup, Dijon mustard, spicy 🌶️ sauce, honey, and bbq sauce in pump containers if you so choose to enhance your sandwich experience. This is a great place to sit back relax, enjoy the view while you enjoy...
