50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants 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!“

“Lovely local bar with excellent drinks and wonderful service. Adrian at the bar was outstanding and made me feel right at home visiting as a solo female traveler. Tons of locals and tourists alike, everyone was friendly with a laid back atmosphere and pool tables. The place was very clean, organized and I loved their merchandise. Highly recommend.“

“This is a fun, family-friendly, dog-friendly place, with an ever-changing selection of fine beers brewed right on site. Seating inside and out.
They have a weekly trivia contest, and sometimes sponsor special events with outside food vendors and various expert artists and craftspeople.“

“Quaint little place. Decent barista. You can tell it's a locals place with all the regulars that come in. I had a pre-made breakfast burrito & espresso it was decent. Make sure you ask for the salsa. It's not spicy but has good flavor.“

“The place is very nice, small, but with a great vibe. We ordered the duck as a starter and it was lovely. For the mains, we had the coffee ribeye and the lamb. To be honest, they were just okay. I'm a big fan of lamb, and this one didn't feel cooked at its best (fat was chewy). The coffee ribeye was fine, but I was expecting something more unique in terms of flavor.“

“Had a great experience. Nick the bartender was great. Friendly, polite and attentive. Would definitely return.“

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“Will start off by saying the food was great! However the hostess was another story. Recwntly had dinner on 8/11/24. The hostess would not let us sit at the table to start ordering drinks because we were missing 2 out of the 8 people in our group. needless to say we already had 6 ready to be seated. once we were seated the table next to us had the umbrella slanted. this caused the table to fly over from a gust of wind shattering a plate and cutting my leg. the stay was kind enough to provided a wipe and some bandaid. We continued our night until the hostess decided to empty water cups from other guest into the flower bed behind us. Which then caused the dirt to splash up on one of our guest white shirts and be covered in mud. A smug sorry was replied out. As stated before the food was terrific and the wait staff was great but the hostess needs to be replaced.“

“We’ve stayed at the Tahoe South location twice now and have loved it both times. The staff is always friendly, helpful, and quick to jump in if we need anything. The vibe is great in the summer and just as cozy during snowstorms. It’s so nice having an onsite coffee shop for my morning coffee and an onsite brewery to hang out at night. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

“We arrived around 5 p.m. and chose to order to go. The staff were extremely kind and welcoming—they took our order quickly and invited us to wait inside. While we were waiting for our main dishes, they even asked if we wanted our drinks first and brought us water. It was one of the nicest waiting experiences we had during our trip.

The food was excellent and very generously portioned—none of the three of us could finish our mains. The pho had a deep, rich broth that was comforting and full of flavor. The vermicelli noodles were perfectly springy and paired well with the toppings. The ribs were tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. The spring rolls were fresh, and their dipping sauce was rich and savory. The highlight of the meal was the bone marrow—creamy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious, including the meat attached to it.

Overall, it was a perfect experience. Highly recommended.“

“One of the most friendly restaurant staff I have ever encountered. Made sure we were taken care of the entire way. I even think my daughter had a little crush on our server Danny 😂 ohh and the pizza was great too!“

“Delicious food with healthy vegan and gluten-free options that satisfy the picky eaters in my family! Lots of choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Conveniently located in Meyers.“

“Food is fine but nothing special. Service, drinks and atmosphere are very good! Pizzas are disappointing but the white pizza is definitely the best one and imo the only one worth the price. Sandwiches are good. The side salads are really good. Everything carries the "Tahoe tax" aka overpriced. Love the vibes and we come here often just to eat around the fire pits“

“This is my green tea boba place in SLT!!“

“Found by chance as we were driving by. Love love loved it!!!! Great atmosphere, food and latte and bonus live music 💕 outside on their beautiful patio area. Highly recommend!“

“Great hospitality, even better food! The staff and owners are friendly and welcoming!“

“Great food, service and restaurant.“

“Great spot inside the BaseCamp. The people are fantastic!“

“I recently visited Tahoe Bear Tea House, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best bubble tea shops I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, cozy, and inviting. The interior has a modern yet relaxing vibe, making it the perfect spot to hang out with friends, do some studying, or just enjoy a quiet break with a refreshing drink. The drinks are absolutely amazing. I tried their classic milk tea with boba, and it was spot on—smooth, creamy, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The tapioca pearls were cooked just right: soft, chewy, and flavorful, which is something I always look for in a good boba shop. I also tried one of their specialty fruit teas, and it was so refreshing and full of natural flavor. What I love most is that you can really taste the quality of the ingredients; nothing feels artificial or overly sweet. The menu has a great variety to choose from—whether you’re into traditional milk teas, fruity blends, or creative specialty drinks, there’s definitely something that will catch your attention. It’s clear that they put thought and care into crafting their drinks, and it shows in every sip. Aside from the drinks, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, patient, and more than willing to help me pick something from the menu since it was my first time there. They took the time to explain the different options, and their recommendations were spot on. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers and want you to have the best experience possible. Overall, Tahoe Bear Tea House is a gem. It’s not just a bubble tea shop—it’s a place where you can relax, enjoy high-quality drinks, and feel welcomed every time you visit. I’m already looking forward to coming back and trying more of their drinks. If you’re in the area and craving boba, this is definitely the place to go!“

“Best chicken I have ever had! Amaze balls delicious! Ribs are to die for!“

“I love their happy hour with so many delicious food choices.“

“My small group walked in with 4 kids (2 yr old and 6-9mo). We weren’t sure if this was a family friendly joint. We weren’t happy to find out that it was. We got seated and ordered up. Burger, chicken and waffles, fried chicken. Sandwich and chilaquiles ( with drinks of course). Each of the entrees were prepared quickly and to perfection. I was very pleasantly surprised at the quality of food here. Bravo Chef! The drinks were generous and well prepared. The staff went out of their way to help make sure our experience was enjoyable. I recommend this place whether you’re local or just passing through. Will be repeat customers…“

“Lovely breakfast near the lake off the beaten track.“

“Always have to get my coffee in heavenly!“
