14 Best American Restaurants in South Lake Tahoe

“Super friend staff and amazing food! Everyone was so friendly and helpful but, most importantly, the food was SO good! My husband and I both got different omelets and both were so good. We ate until we were beyond stuffed because the food was THAT good! He got a Bloody Mary that was one of the best I’ve had out here and I got a mimosa. Perfect little brunch atmosphere and set up! ❤️ You can not visit Lake Tahoe and pass this honey up!“

“My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful five-day stay and will absolutely be back to take in those breathtaking lake views and snow-capped mountains!“

“Excellent breakfast and service!! We ate here every morning on our vacation!! Every single staff member was on point the entire time! From the time we walked in, until we were done, everyone was very attentive and friendly. We talked about the service every day. The food was absolutely wonderful and if we’re ever back in the area we will most definitely be back at Ernie’s again!!“

“The food was absolutely delicious. We ate the Burrata, Rack of Lamb, and Short Rib, everything complimented each other very well. The meats were cooked perfectly. I genuinely think this is the best meal I've had in a long time. The ambiance is perfect for couple looking for a quiet date night in Tahoe. I think my only critique is that there should be 3 pieces of lamb in that dish instead of 2. A perfect evening to eat a delicious meal and spot a bear strolling down the street after dinner.“

“Great service, cute atmosphere, and extensive menu. We enjoyed our breakfast there.“

“Cheer's Atmosphere in South Lake Tahoe Tahoe!!!“

“Flight Deck has truly transformed under new ownership. The food quality is exceptional! Brunch is my favorite. The addition of simulators enhances the overall experience, making it a fun destination for our family. I highly recommend the chicken and waffles; they are simply delicious.“

“We come here once or twice a week that’s how much we like this place.“

“I ate there and the burger and onion rings I had were awesome!“

“Steamers Bar & Grill is amazing! The food is fresh and mouth watering. The atmosphere is super fun with live music, and the owner Heather and staff treated us like family. We had the best time and will definitely return. Highly recommend! 😊👍“

“One of a kind of experience. You're so close if not right on the border of Nevada and California and you can sit and eat and look at both sides depending on what side of the building you're on. If you can ski and ski better than average you can get there. If you don't ski take the gondola from the lake below and enjoy the view from the gondola and lunch on the probably your highest point on the mountain...“

“Highly recommend.

Pros:
- gyro platter
- super friendly service
- incredible back porch with views

Cons:
- expensive and limited beer selection
