50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Carnelian Bay

“Coffee Kayaks Karma all here.“

“Great breakfast and wonderful service.“

“What should I say, ? Local little restaurant - food portions are great ( too big for a European) - waitress was so kind and helpful - service could be a bit faster but we ordered 9 mains so needed time to prepare. The house special ? was great, pizza is not Italian style dough but was good enough to eat. Beer is average nothing special.. The salad was good and the small version is more than enough.“

“One of our favorite places“

“Great spot for a casual beer just outside of town! Greg, the owner, did a great job of making this place feel like an extension of your own living room but with better beer! Fun place to get a group together and the live music is always enjoyable!“

“Such great breves, employees and atmosphere!! We've only been to Dark Horse Coffees in San Diego but this feels the same!! 😄☕😃☕“

“Our first time there. Great little place, due to Covid, we ordered at the window. We hope to dine in when this is over. The sticky pecan bun was to die for. Can’t wait to taste the 5 cupcakes and 9 cookies tonight. Great coffee and Mocha too. We will definately be back“

“A must stop when in Truckee!!“

“Another of our favorites when visiting the North shore of Lake Tahoe. Cozy, Cabin-ey feel, right on the golf course in the woods. The meals have been delightful, the wait staff does a great job with probably too many tables/customers. The bartender is knowledgeable and experienced. Lots of good wine info. We'll be back!“

“tri tip burrito was great“

“Nice location. Much be good, a lot of people“

“Delightful place to eat!!!“

“What a fabulous wine bar! This was our first time coming by and enjoying a glass of wine. We had passed this place many times and decided to venture in. We felt like we were sitting enjoying a glass of wine in a cozy kitchen island bar with other local wine enthusiasts. An added treat, we mingled with the lovely owners. What a gem in Incline Village.“

“Awesome place!! Great staff, delicious food!“

“We visited a few years ago, in 2018 and bought several bottles of Red Barn Red. Tonight 2/15/2025, I opened our last bottle. It held its color and flavor. We are really enjoying this lovely wine. I think it's time to visit Truckee, again. Cheers!“

“A great local gem that we found on our trip! We had a Truckee local boy as our server (Collin) who was able to give us some pointers for our summer vacation and really made our experience! If you find yourself in the area definitely check it out!“

“I was searching for food that was not crowded, admittedly I was overwhelmed by the weekenders that flock from all over cities that were crammed in the shopping district. I spotted a church building with a small sign that said, cafe open, as I was making my way out of town with haste. Alas, I found exactly what I needed. Score, big time. It is a beautiful, tranquil space, and the sandwich I had, Ban mi (add turkey)...beyond exquisite. The lavender drink concoction was eloquent and refreshing. Go here for a zen delicious af meal and very nice service.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Excellent BBQ!! We will be back!!“

“☕️ Super enjoyed the coffee at our morning workshop.“

“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!“

“Amazing pastries and great flavored coffee!“

“I live your gluten free sandwiches!!“

“Best experience over looking Truckee ! Sisters and I had a Wonderful and friendly experience ‘. Beautiful views and great food ! Sam our waiter was attentive and was there to make sure we were treated exceptionally well ! Thank you Sam for your friendly hospitality and wonderful service !💕“

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

“The breakfast burritos we had were excellent and large size - my wife only needed 1/2 for her meal. Adding spinach into the brisket burrito added a great flavor addition. The coffee was a little tepid, but staff were very happy to remake it when I simply asked if we could heat it up more. (Not intending to remake, but to simply microwave or similar)

The place was packed and it looked like staff were going at warp speed.

We would definitely return.“

“Nice kick back good beers 🇺🇸🇺🇸“

“A fun place with great cocktails“

“Great selection of products!“

“Great place rode the gondola up from North Star village. Our server Max was amazing! Food was great, atmosphere amazing. Definitely good place after a long day of skiing kids loved it too. Drinks were amazing too. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you off. Definitely come here and enjoy good food, drinks and atmosphere. It’s pricy but it’s the Ritz sooooooo.

Kid-friendliness: My kids loved it. They also know how to behave in a nice restaurant.“

“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!“

“I got the 1/2 tritip plate with coleslaw and rice with tortillas. Very tasty and fills you up. My daughter got the 1/2 chicken (which is literally half of a chicken) with coleslaw and rice with garlic bread and she brought half home. it was all tasty.“

“Mozzarella sticks and barbecue/medium wings were perfect and cheap compared to most restaurants and the entrees were great too. We had the $14.49 gyros, $22.99 fish and chips, and the $13.99 wagyu sliders (which tasted a tiny bit overcooked) but besides that all tasted great! Nice empty dog friendly outside patio by the creek with many picnic tables and a big table for 12. Service was very fast.“

“Southern fried chicken sandwich was great. Anja made our experience over-the-top. We learned of a pet loss as soon as we ordered. Her kindness and compassion are appreciated and will always be in our hearts. She is a beautiful soul ❤️“

“Fantastic view of the lake with good food and cold beer!!!

Was visiting Tahoe and wasn’t some good food and cold beer after hiking all day. TNBC hit the spot!!! We were even treated to some live music on Friday night.

Wether you are a local or visiting, I’d highly recommend.“
