This is the BEST place to come when you want to take family to a Tahoe place to hang out for a while. Brewery vibes. The chicken sandwich is next level! The coffee is great. Easy parking and very friendly for dogs, kids, and elders.

Definitely looking forward to their reopening next year (they're currently closed for the season). We first stumbled upon Lakeview Social this past summer, after getting our car fixed in South Lake Tahoe because it had broken down in the middle of the national forest (everyone was safe & no injuries, just a long night waiting for a tow truck). The ambiance, great coffee, and friendly service completely lifted our mood, and this spot is now a go-to for us every time we and our pup visit town. The baristas at Revival Coffee are awesome and gave us great trail recommendations. The food truck is super convenient and delicious - you just scan the QR code and order from your phone. We stop at Lakeview every morning for coffee before heading out to explore the mountains. A maple sage latte by the fire pit, surrounded by beautiful pine trees, never fails to set us up for a fantastic day of adventuring.

I always enjoyed the vibe and coffee here.Unfortunately, I found the place closed two days in a row well after their posted opening of 7:30AM.Are they gone for good? Who knows.If they are still among the living, would it kill them to post new business hours?

Lovely place in the pines to relax with a pint and a bite from the food truck. No GF beer on tap, but they did have a cider. And GF bread! The fried chicken sandwich was delish. Staff was helpful and friendly. We popped in twice during our visit to Tahoe.None of the restrooms had changing tables so be prepared to change in the car.

Nice place to sit and have coffee over fire pits and listen to live music. SideFX band was playing. Chai was good.

Came here after hanging out at the beach. It was a rainy day so the fire pit was a nice warmth to our cold summer day. The vibes here were homey and lively. They had live music, and they were super funny. The music they were playing definitely fit the vibes. The drinks were good. They were a bit pricey. About $9.50 for a beer. Would come back with friends! Love that it's walking distance from the beach.

I remember when this used to be just a wine bar but I love that they've expanded. This was my first time eating food here. When we arrived around 2pm they were short on a few items but they were in the middle of restocking. I ordered a spam fried rice- it was delicious! Keep in mind this was the size of a full meal (I was anticipating smaller, but it was perfect to split). I also ordered the chicken sandwich with the Thai chili- it was the perfect savory food. The pictures don't do the sandwich justice.We ate outside in the picnic benches but there were also rocking chairs and fire pits available. The ambiance was definitely mountain vibes.My only complaint was that the music was accordion meets country- I wasn't a fan. Like folk polka. Will be coming back.

Lakeview Social gets high marks for ambiance and setting. The seating is amongst shady lodgepole pines. There are picnic tables for eating and deep, low Adirondack style chairs for lounging. It is dog friendly as long as your dog is cool. Don't bring your dog if it's a dick. It will kill the vibe.The food is ok. It's prepared in a food truck and wasn't anything special. I had a buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. The highlight of the sandwich was the sweet, spicy chilies. The fries were over cooked.The friendly staff, shady area, and cold beer saved a 4/5 star rating.

Awful food, even worse service, and the wait for food was just shy of a hour for 1 sandwich. If I could give zero stars I would, but regrettably that is not an option.
Fun place to visit that it very close to Lake Tahoe. Kid friendly and pet friendly. Has seating with fire pits, as well as space for kids to play. They have live music here. There is a premium coffee shop and a good selection of local beers on tap. They have wine slushies as well as wine, hard kombucha and seltzer’s for people that enjoy that. They have a permanent food truck on the grounds that makes some tasty food that fits the atmosphere. Parking is easy and free around the restaurant. Would recommend.

This was definitely the vibe! We went mid day to unwind and have a beer. The drinks are a little pricey but it’s worth it to sit in the shaded area with the rocking chairs and live music.

You will easily wait 2 hours for food truck food. I cannot believe how long we waited. We timed it and an order comes out every 30 minutes. Absolutely disgraceful and upsetting.

Ridiculous. Drinks ok. Food took sooo long it was exhausting. Girl finally brought food and was so rude . Slammed it on the counter like she was inconvenienced.. Will not be returning.,
