“This is the best place for breakfasts, sandwiches, pastries and other treats in all Lake Tahoe -- and the folks inside are the best!“

“A cost corner shop with a menu options ranging from ice creams, sorbets, beverages and Açaí bowl. Their huckleberry ice is a must try. Overall a good experience and flavor options.
They have outdoor seating space and is right on the street, easy accessibility and convenience if coming from the beach.“

“Beautiful lakeside location with a nice big dog friendly patio, good draft beers brewed on-site and good pizza. The deep-dish pizza tasted better than it looked. We almost sent it back because the top and crust were pretty blackened, but I hate sending food back, so we persevered and it was better than expected. Not great, but not bad. It was $38 for a borderline burnt/mediocre medium pizza with 6 slices. My boyfriend and I each had 2 slices and 2 beers and were full. The pizza made for good leftovers as well. I enjoyed the two different draft beers I had; the amber type lager (can't recall the name) and a seasonal beer. The service in the bar area high tops was ok. Water is self-serve. They are on par with other local breweries and were very nice but nothing outstanding. Overall, a cool new-ish spot for a beer and an excellent view.“

“Great pizza and fun beer selections. Service was good, waitstaff very friendly.“

“I love this place. Very good choice and the best pizza in Tahoe City. Friendly folks. Reasonable prices. You will enjoy their product!“

“A bike event on Sunday turned into a cold, rainy, windy, miserable day. We went to The Dam Cafe for hot chocolate and got so much love! The owner not only welcomed the wet, muddy riders in, she put out space heaters and wrapped us in blankets! Amazing! I was so cold and was warmed both physically and emotionally by the kindness. The food and drink where delicious. Can’t say enough good things. A little cottage of heaven in Tahoe City!“

“If you are looking for the locals spot, this is the place. Great food at a reasonable price. Not much more that a hungry human could ask for.“

“If you're not coming to Tahoe Taphouse for Kevin, you're missing half the experience. The guy is genuinely one of the funniest people behind a bar — always has a joke ready, always lands it, and somehow makes you feel like a regular from the first visit. He's as kind as he is hilarious, which is saying a lot.

But the Taphouse earns its keep beyond great company. Cold, delicious beer on tap, solid food, and the perfect spot to catch a game. We keep coming back and it never disappoints.

On the food side - don't sleep on the Mary's Chicken. Mary's is an incredible brand, and Tahoe Taphouse does it justice. The chicken wings especially are fantastic. Crispy, flavorful, the kind of wings you think about on the drive home.

Honestly, it's the full package: great beer, great food, games on the TV, and Kevin holding it all together. See you there.“

“Best food we have had in Tahoe. Period !!!! Try the onion rings Fat cat style. !!!“

“Great selection of products!“

“I started eating before I took a picture. I’m sorry. Phone doesn’t eat first. This place was really yum I got the smashburger and it was so great. And the fries were top tier. Pretty space as well, I got to people watch out the window. Service was slightly slow but who cares it’s a sit-down restaurant. Would recommend“

“We were in Truckee for the day and wanted something different. This was the perfect place! Outdoor dining was amazing balls! Comfy setting, like your own outside patio. The food was exactly what we wanted! A watermelon non alcoholic spritz was so refreshing. Not sweet but more blended fruity mix. A hot tasty sandwich, perfectly crispy sweet potato fries and that day.. a velvety French onion soup. It was a different type of bread, bunch of spices and big slice of the cheese! So much cooked onions and a broth that tasted like it was cooked for hours, to get a deep rich beef taste. Staff was so friendly and nice. Will be going back to try their pizzas and salads!“

“Enjoyed a delicious dinner here with my boyfriend! The service was fantastic, the wine and food were delicious and we hope to return! I had tomato soup and grilled cheese, we both enjoyed wine tasting flights and my bf had a wagyu burger! All very delicious! Many vegetarian options as well :)

Vegetarian options: Several vegetarian options to choose from!!“

“Great environment with wonderful vibes of hot buttered rum and snowy nights with a cozy feel.“

“Beautiful views and great coffee!“

“Fun place Good bar food Staff attentive“

“Fresh Tex- Mex. Chips salsa a guacamole a must!“

“Update April 2026: we have this restaurant a shot again last night. The food was much improved and back to its normal baseline. Thanks for listening! Rating changed!

We are local and eat here all of the time— 1-2 times per month over a number of years. Something has happened in the last 4-6 weeks with this place. This is the second time lately we’ve ordered the chicken tikki masala and the paneer tikki masala and the sauce was weird and gross. Super sweet like a sweet tomato soup. The Dal Mahikini tasted like chili. We ordered it medium and there was no spice to it at all. The naan was stale. We ordered samosas and they literally just threw them into the loose to go bag. They have definitely had problems with consistency in the recipes over the years but this has been the worst. We are totally bummed because this restaurant used to be our go-to when we didn’t feel like cooking.“

“I ordered the Swedish pancakes, absolutely delicious! Friendly staff, great service! I will return“

“Gonzalo truly set the tone for an exceptional experience at the Living Room Lodge (LRL) at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe. Warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, he made us feel genuinely cared for, from start to finish. His hospitality felt effortless and heartfelt — and the heavenly vanilla latte he crafted came with a smile that made it even more special. Gonzalo is a true gem and a shining example of Ritz-Carlton’s world-class service & hospitality.

We were seated in a beautiful spot with stunning views of the Northstar ski slopes on a bright, sunny day. The experience was elevated by sitting behind a subtle tinted glass that softened the harshness of the sun while still letting in all the light and scenery — the perfect balance. Surrounded by towering Sierra Nevada pines, the setting felt serene, cozy, and quintessentially Tahoe.

We started with a vanilla latte that was nothing short of magical — it truly felt like a warm embrace in a cup. Smooth, comforting, and crafted to perfection.

The meat burger was perfectly done — juicy, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. My son absolutely loved the chocolate and strawberry ice cream, which was a delightful treat.

Dessert was the grand finale: the salted caramel lotus with vanilla sponge cake, caramel glaze, and cacao nib streusel was an absolute masterpiece. Each bite delivered a beautiful harmony of textures, flavors & suspense; indulgent yet refined.

An unforgettable experience that blends breathtaking views, outstanding food, and truly genuine hospitality.“

“Review by my 5-year-old: Everyday we came here was a lovely day. But one day they gave me food that was not the food I asked for. I felt so disappointed on that day and I didn't like my food. But then other days I came here I liked it. I will certainly be back.“

“Beautiful views and charming atmosphere!“
