50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants South Lake Tahoe

“Love this place. In the season, it's a lot of locals and good vibes. Great food when the food trucks are open, good beer, and the staff is super accommodating. Just had a mediocre beer off the tap, and they switched me up to something else that was way Better. Great service and friendly employees, always a good choice. 🍻🍻“

“Great music fun bonfires and lights . I enjoyed the strawberry milkshake beer .“

“Nice rustic atmosphere and the rooms have a cabin/wilderness feel. Rooms are on the smaller side because it’s a renovated motel but it definitely feels like Tahoe and rustic scenery. Would stay here again!“

“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!“

“Best deli sandwich is the Valkrie. Never disappoints.“

“The pizza was great… the service awesome! Basecamp is always a go-to when in Lake Tahoe!“

“Delicious bagels and coffee. Line was long but didn’t take long to move and worth the small wait“

“Great folks to work with. Thank you. We appreciate your support.“

“Friendly staff and great coffee! I recommend lavender!“

“We had a small wedding reception here on August 19. We started in the garden until rain moved in and MacDuffs quickly moved us inside and upstairs. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress was awesome and working with MacDuffs beforehand was great too. We were a party of 18 from Michigan and everyone was very complimentary! Highly recommend!!’“

“The food is off the hook and the selection of IPA’s is lovely. Service was excellent! Plenty of seating“

“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! 😊👍“

“laid back jovial atmosphere. awesome beer selection California & Nevada. try a flight not a one was disappointing. The shining star was the staff“

“Fish and Chips were the best. We split a plate and still had leftovers!“

“Brian and Jill were great to work with!“

“This place is an absolute gem. It's a very local hangout; quaint, friendly, tucked away. I feel lucky to have found it as a non-resident, to be honest! And the beer is really solid!

I'm a brewery fiend. I travel a lot, and everywhere I go I look for the local brewery/breweries. I've tasted some weird stuff, some great stuff, and some just plain bad stuff. Tahoe Brew House makes some of the great stuff.

This won't be your average brewery visit, but it will be well worth your time! And, if you're anything like me, you'll make the time to visit more than once.“

“Cool place to get a ☕️ and a little something for breakfast 👍“

“Great vegan and other dishes.“

“💜💜💜 great place to eat!!!!“

“Love the beer, love the food, and the staff is top notch. My favorite Tahoe spot!“

“I love the Cork And More! It is a great place to hang out with friends or even on a date! The wines are great. The food is amazing. Five stars from me! There is a gorgeous outdoor garden area to relax in as well.“

“With reservations the wait was about 5-10 minutes. Beautiful dining area. The food was good. Wait time from order to table about 25 minutes. Sever was friendly. Coffee cup and water glasses sat empty for 15-20 minutes. Not terrible but needs a few tweaks for me to give an outstanding rating.“

“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.“

“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.“

“My husband and I *landed* at The Landing on the last week of May 2025, out of complete happenstance! We started out our honeymoon at The Post Marc Hotel, after seeing 4-5 rooms, each in worse condition than the last, we kindly requested a refund and left. We had no idea what to do, our honeymoon was off to a rocky start, but little did we know The Landing had us covered! We saw they had good reviews and decided to walk inside and see what it was like! We were immediately greeted by incredibly warm and outgoing staff members Charles and Serafina! They listened to our story, empathized with us, and were able to get us an amazing deal on a room! They let us walk around and take a look at it before we purchased which was much appreciated and helped in our decision making! And Charles even made sure we had a complimentary bottle of Chardonnay to “help start the honeymoon out right”, I mean what a sweetheart, so thoughtful and kind! Charles and Serafina truly made MAGIC happen for us and we could not be more grateful to them. They are the reason we had a wonderful honeymoon and we are just so thankful. After getting us situated in a fabulous room with: heated floors, heated toilet seats, jet tub, dual shower, fireplace and patio complete with mountain & lake views, we were told all about, all the perks of staying at The Landing! They have a shuttle that can take you or pick up anywhere in the local area, they had a lovely heated pool and spacious jetted spa, and we were given free beach passes to a private section of the beach! Everything was wonderful! Stephanie & Mel at the front desk checked on us each morning to see how our stay was going! From the quick and attentive housekeeping, to Kevin the wonderful conversationalist bell hop & shuttle driver, to server Aaron’s 5 star room service from Jimmy’s restaurant, even down to the little coffee kiosk in the lobby loving filled with hot chocolates, apple ciders and toppings—everything was perfect!!! And everyone made sure our experience was top notch, the hospitality was unmatched! We had such a nice time that now we won’t stay anywhere else in Tahoe, this is our new go to spot! If you have absolutely any hesitation about booking with The Landing—DON’T! When you’re at The Landing, you are truly in safe hands, with a warm and attentive staff that genuinely cares about your time there. Thank you to everyone at The Landing for providing the most incredible honeymoon experience! We will definitely be back! We were so thrilled with our stay we’re looking at coming back in November 2025 for my birthday! In a word—PHENOMENAL. 15/10“

“Great local pizza place. We ordered a supreme and cheese pizza and a Caesar salad. We got our order to go and they were fast and the quality of the pizza was good. The lettuce on the Caesar salad was wilted and seemed like it had been sitting in the heat which may have just been us getting it for takeout. The dressing on the salad seemed homemade and we enjoyed it.“

“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.“

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

“Great food, service and restaurant.“

“This place has great local coffee, but more important is the vibe here. Chill inside with the locals or sit outside and tilt your head back to look at the mountains on 3 sides. Order from the coffe shop or get Mexican food from next door. Either way you’ll be happy and you’ll want to stop again.

Parking: If the parking in the front is full there is plenty in the back right.“

“Finally tried Elements today! It was absolutely delicious. The tamales were super good. The elote was sooooo good! And the tres leches cake topped with a strawberry was soooooo yummy!! Also love that they offer NA beers 💯💯 I also met Drew, the owner, and he was extremely nice. Will definitely go again!“

“We love this place! Have breakfast every time we are here! Fast and friendly service in a nice little quiet atmosphere.“

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

“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“

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

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

“I'm a big gelato fan, especially hazelnut flavor. they have a good one here :)“

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

“So dang good! Thank you aloha and J and L for bringing delicious to Tahoe. We loved our ice cream and the amazing service. 🍦❤️💋💋“

“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.“

“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!“

“Always satisfied when my Family comes here!“

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

“Excellent experience here.
I have always heard that Pho’s are the typical soul food but once I tasted I realized that yes they are 100% soul satisfying food.

We ordered the following here and both the items were delicious, soul satisfying, affordable and in good quantity:
Chicken Pho
Pan Fried Chicken Vermicelli

I recommend this place 100% to anyone visiting South Lake Tahoe. You all will have great experience. Our total amount for the above 2 dishes rounded up to about $40.

Just a heads up if you are paying using card here they will charge you 3.50% extra so it is advised to pay in cash here if you wish to save that extra.“

“We had a wonderful time!! We were there the first week of October and had wonderful service and great environment with outdoor seating next to a fire. We had the old fashioned, Basil Aviation Drink (forgot the name), and espresso martini, and Brussels sprouts. Everything was great!! We usually are very picky about our cocktails and these were well balanced. We would definitely recommend to anyone in the area! They were the best drinks we had during our stay.“

“We're from NLT, but we were in South Lake to camp. We stopped here for dinner before hitting the trail, and this place did NOT disappoint. We got buffalo wings and a thin crust pepperoni pizza - the wings were piping hot, SO crispy and perfectly saucy. They were also decent size wings. The pizza was hot and crispy; cheese was super melty and pepperoni were perfect. This was the best pizza and wings we've had in the entire LT basin. We will definitely be coming back and recommending.“
