“Coffee Kayaks Karma all here.“

“Great breakfast and wonderful service.“

“The BBQ menu is amazing! Pulled pork sandwiches or ribs some of the best I have had. Now Ice cream window! 18 flavors!! We eat here often for lunch and dinner. Food is always good especially for the price. Gyros are great, salads, pizzas and sandwich 's PLUS daily specials! Great service always worth the wait if busy.“

“One of our favorite places“

“Love love loved this place. It's a cute little restaurant inside a grocery store. They have outdoor seating but we were in in a snow storm, so had to manage with the limited space indoors. But the food and the people were so good. My husband took the leaf eater and I took the teriyaki udon noodle soup. Both were Yum. We even took a pesto baguette to-go. Everything about this place is to fall in love with. ?

Vegetarian options: There are quite few options for vegetarians in sandwiches and noodle soups.. Plus many salad options.“

“Phenomenal food, service, ambience and atmosphere. The menu changes and my favorite is the Tasting Menu. It is divine and I always feel like royalty when I go. 🍽️🧑🏽‍🍳👑🌊🌲“

“The food was delicious! The coffee was amazing. And the service was excellent!!“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced! The staff were amazing too!! Definitely tell all my friends that travel to Tahoe that this is a must try!!“

“Phenomenal. Brussel sprouts, fries, and the biscuits to start. Chicken thighs main: toughest decision I’ve made in a while but it was the right one. Top 5 dish I’ve ever had in my entire life, zero exaggeration. The chicken melts like butter and is complemented perfectly with the crunchy/savory potatoes below. If you’re looking for flavor, dine here. Thank you kindly.“

“Thania’s juice bar has healthy juices, great Mexican inspired dishes, and dope remedies for all sorts of ailments. But the best part is….. THANIA!!! She and her staff give a great experience. She answers questions, makes suggestions, and does everything with kindness and grace. Come for the juice, stay for the positivity.“

“Fresh food and very creative sandwich combinations. Highly recommend this place!“

“We had an excellent dinner at Bite. The stuffed peppers, cauliflower and halibut tacos were all delicious. There are so many more amazing entrees to try. The bartender, Benjamin was so friendly, fun and made us wonderful cocktails. Our night was made even more special by meeting Kenneth, the Chef. He was so friendly and gracious. We were able to tell him directly how amazing each of our entrees were. We highly recommend Bite for an excellent dining experience, and will definitely going back there again when we are in Tahoe.“

“Best affordable option in Truckee!“

“Best coffee shop in Truckee Great choice of pastries Nice people“

“We loved everything about Le Bistro. The atmosphere was cozy, the service was amazing and the food was out of this world!! Loved the complimentary amuse bouche as well as the crab cakes and decadent lobster ravioli apps. Also, probably the best Filet Mignon I've ever had! So much attention to detail. We even went back the next night. Cannot recommend highly enough.“

“I had the pot of gold roll and the seaweed salad. Everything was delicious. The seaweed salad was so refreshing. A little on the expensive side, but I could tell that was because all the fish was super fresh. I’d definitely eat here again and recommend this place.“

“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“

“Delightful place to eat!!!“

“Nice kick back good beers 🇺🇸🇺🇸“

“I love this place. Great place to eat sushi!“

“Authentic Mexican food and amazing deli. Where the locals eat!“

“I've been working in Truckee and I hate eating out. But this place makes food like it's home cooked. If you eat here early between 5:30am-7:00 you a discount on your food. I highly recommend getting the gumbo as a side. I've been telling all of my coworkers about this place. They tried it and they loved it. You won't be disappointed if you do.“

“We just had our anniversary dinner here. How does this restaurant not have a Michelin star? Some of the most incredible food we have ever had and it’s here in Truckee! We have been most disappointed with the truckee food scene especially for what it costs up here, but Trokay is absolutely worth the hype, expense, and your time. The flavors of every course were put together masterfully. I just wish we had gotten it together enough to come here sooner, what a gem to have in town. I hope anyone that is a foodie or just wants to be blown away by some amazing food/ flavors makes it to this restaurant. You will be impressed! The owners are amazing, just look at those resumes, and the service was wonderful. Definitely will be coming back!“

“We tried to find a breakfast place, and tried another place called Old Post Office Cafe. But they had a 35-minute waiting list. So we turned around and found this place. As soon as we walk in, we are amazed by the beautiful outdoor seating. It's by a golf course. Food was good, service was quick and nice. One plate is between $16-19. Total worth it at this beautiful restaurant. They also have a big nice bar.“

“tri tip burrito was great“

“This restaurant is fantastic! Lukas was one of the best servers I have come across. They have unique and flavorful twists on traditional Scandinavian dishes. And the manager Jeff sources local foods. The ahi appetizer in cones was a recommendation from Jeff and did not disappoint. Our Schnitzel was fabulous and so was the elk pot pie. It was quiet at the time we happened to be there so we got to chat a bit. We learned that the owner’s daughter is the pastry chef so we had to try the cheesecake. Also delicious. It was just a great dining experience.“

“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.“

“Dog friendly , nice view of lake“

“I loved the vegan broth options! Glad we could find a place that has more vegan friendly broth and toppings! Our server Jeraldine was awesome and she took care of our complicated order due to our food allergies! We will be back again!“

“This place is great! One of the best Italian food spots in Truckee! I had their Gnocchi and it was 👌 absolutely perfect. Zano's is great for a couple looking for a good romantic dinner, or a whole family or 5! They have a very accommodating dining area that can handle tons of customers, and their service is impeccable! I will CERTAINLY be back!“

“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 !💕“

“What a treat to have a local owned and run coffee shop that does NOT dilute their drinks! Having returned from Bend Oregon, where you would think one could get a great Chai Latte - every local and commercial place I went served watered-down Chai Lattes - so dissapointed - and it seems to be trending. I realize how hard businesses are struggling - but I would rather pay more and get a creamy tasty latte - then a watered down one I end up throwing out. THANK YOU Chelsea and JAVA HUT for serving tasty, creamy, hearty Chai lattes!“

“A great find and a little off the main highway in town but worth a visit. Quiet location with patio view. Attentive staff and good variety of food and reasonable cost compared to the usual places in Incline. Strong coffee and good pie. Parking is limited.“

“Gourmet pizza! We love coming here whenever we are in town. Family owned business and the owner is a wonderful person. We had the pleasure to meet him 3 winters ago. I am so glad how this place gets more and more popular!!

Taste and ingredients are great. The temperature control on the pizza is on point. Price on root beer is so good! Can’t beat that.
One thing to note, it does take long time to get the pizza, if you are in a rush, you can either call ahead to order or try this place when you have time to enjoy. It took us about 45mins to get our pizza a few weeks ago.

They have indoor and outdoor seating! How relaxing.“

“So. Many. Flavors. The ice cream was delicious and the staff was very generous with the scoop size. There's a nice little patio outside where we were able to sit and enjoy our ice cream. Highly recommend the chocolate dipped waffle cone with peanuts!“

“We sat in the bar and ordered apps before a show. Brianna took wonderful care of us! We had the Lobster Mac n Cheese, Lamp Lollipops, and Coconut Shrimp and split it between two of us. The food was spectacular and the service was top notch. I'll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“A fun place with great cocktails“

“The best part of this restaurant is it's environment and it's dog friendliness. We always go with Ares our JRT and you often see other dogs, on the patio. Food is good too, but I actually like my own cooking of quality meat in general.“

“Best Cheese Burger I have ever had!“

“We’re visiting from the Uk and can’t recommend Za’s enough. Amazing food, amazing view, amazing service, amazing food, amazing staff and amazing value. I can’t recommend this place enough, we loved it and the only negative is that we live a million miles away! Thank you for with a lovely experience xx“
