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

“A little bit confused about the menu. I ordered the Lox & Bagel meal under Sandwiches section. It should be come with fries or salad. But the server said it doesn't have this option. That meal shouldn't be in the Sandwiches section. I felt upset about it.“

“We love this cafe! Great drinks and delicious housemade food. Local art on the walls for sale and cool Legos.“

“let me tell you something. I grew up in Sun Valley. Tahoe is part of me. My sister called the night before. They didnt take reservations. But, we told them what was up. my sisters n I planned a weeks trip for my mother's 78th birthday. We hadn't all been all together since my littlest sister was 4... 36 yrs later we are all in one place. Our mother wanted to see her friends. Basically our second set of parents growing up. We pretty much pretended we were nonchalant about it. Their daughter n us put a scheme together to surprise them all. Weeks of planning. The night staff left a note for the morning staff. They open at noon. The party of three showed up at noon... us, the party of six showed up 10 minutes fashionably late. So we could surprise n give our elderly parents arrhythmia.The staff was awesome! Table ready, James our waiter was spectacular...the food.... awesome. Not many restaurants would be asking as people came in... are you the party of 9? lol my sister from another set of parents...as her mom confused said " no we are a party of 3" and her daughter leaned back and whispered ..." yes we are the party of 9. but they don't know shhhh!" it was spectacular! Thank you to the staff... you all rock! I hope if we ever make it back and you're still are rocking the vibe we got today, we will be there. You all take care of your staff. Today this place made our moment so special. We cant say Thank you enough.“

“We love the shrimp or fish tacos and yummy shoestring fries! Well drinks are a nice size with a nice sample of beer on tap.“

“Now THIS place knows how to make a burger! 🍔🍟

My husband needed to hit his protein goals for the day, so naturally, he ordered TWO double cheeseburgers! 😂💪 I stuck with a regular cheeseburger, and let me tell you, everything was cooked to perfection!

The burgers were juicy, flavorful, and had just the right amount of everything. Nothing overpowering, just a really good burger! And the fries? PERFECTION! Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. Just how I like them!

My only tiny complaint? I wish they had a caffeine-free diet soda option. They only carry Pepsi products, and I'm a Diet Coke girl through and through! 😂 But that's just my personal preference.

Overall, GREAT food and definitely a place worth visiting!

And you know that burger is about to be GOOD when you see the cook back there working without gloves! 🤣🤣 Old-school burger joint vibes! 🍔❤“

“HIUUUUGE scoops and tasty ice cream. The wait can be long on busy weekends but it's worth it. Oh and the patio seating is great.“

“Stopped in after a day of snowshoeing up on Chickadee Ridge and loved it! Mike and staff were attentive and the wine list is outstanding! We were delighted by a 2021 Hillick & Hobbs Dry Riesling from Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes. So much wine to explore here.“

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

“Coffee Kayaks Karma all here.“

“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.“

“Such a fun little ice cream stop! I chose the flavor of the day, Campfire, in a waffle cone, and my husband had mint chip and vanilla in a waffle cone. Both were delicious!

You order from a cute walk-up window, and there’s a nice outdoor seating area with picnic tables and cornhole. A perfect place to stop for a sweet treat in Tahoe City!“

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

“Visited Sunday Morning June 11, 2023. Was very impressed with every employee with whom I came in contact. Our meals were excellent and the coffee was the best I have had for years!“

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

“We hosted a pre-wedding welcome gathering in the outdoor area at Stella in June 2026, and their team made every single detail turn out perfectly!

Planning & Setup
The planning process was seamless. Through a series of phone calls, meetings, and emails, their team guided us through our options and helped bring our vision together. The private yard offered a warm, relaxing atmosphere for our guests, complete with lawn games like bocce ball and cornhole. We loved the layout, which featured well-placed seating, umbrellas, food stations, and a bar setup.

Staff & Service
Management: Tyler, the manager, took incredible care of us throughout the entire evening, ensuring everything ran smoothly.
Catering & Service: Chef Marshall and his culinary team prepared a delicious, beautifully presented spread of boards and appetizers. The service staff was attentive, friendly, and top-tier.
If you are considering hosting an outdoor event, we cannot recommend Stella highly enough!“

“Excellent BBQ!! We will be back!!“

“tri tip burrito was great“

“Great breakfast and wonderful service.“

“First time in... Food was good and the portion was decent. Not very busy and three servers were on. Service was slow I felt and the bartender was less than friendly, charming or outgoing. Maybe they were having an off night, I don't know. I would go back but maybe just for drinks? .“

“Great selection of products!“

“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.“

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

“We had a wonderful meal at Petra/Northstar...I had the chicken and it was delicious. My husband had the steak frites and loved it...cooked perfectly. The mediterranean salad was fabulous...enough for the 4 of us! The cabernet was yummy but I then tried the Pinot Noir and it was AMAZING. Kelsey was very friendly and we enjoyed meeting her.“

“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!“

“Great place for some beer with a view, but it doesnt stop there, the food I had was excellent. I had the pleasure of meeting the ownder David during my meal. Great guy, great staff, great food and drink, and excellent view. Support local businesses I would highly suggest giving Tahoe National Brewing a try.“

“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!“

“A go to place whilst in the carnelian Bay Area :“

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

“Delicious food with a great atmosphere“

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

“One of our favorite places“

“Great evening stop. Was just out pub crawling with my girl, happened in, and was immediately greeted by staff. Helped point us to good drinks on tap. Then had a great conversation with the owner Chris, who compt us a couple of shots of something that went down like candy. Can't wait to drop back in and try the food next time.“

“Eat here ASAP! The burgers were SO good and the French fries we're amazing! We couldn't believe such great food at great prices! Cant beat the service! Might commute from Kansas City to eat here again! YUM!“

“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.“
