Is Sno-Flake closed forever or just the season? I'll be so sad if Sno Flake is no longer!

Milkshakes were great! Burgers were nothing special.

Honestly I was a bit disappointed. The burgers were just okay..the crispy onion rings and the shake were delicious!Service was subpar and it was pretty pricey...about $40 for two burgers, one fry, a shake, and a soft drink..if you're looking for milkshakes definitely come here but maybe not if you're craving a burger.

Lots of extremely noisy, rude kids were in the lobby. Staring at me, bumping into me with no acknowledgment that they had, foul mouths, bad manners.

Sno flake has always been one of my go-tos in Tahoe. I love the milkshakes, the zucchini fries, and chicken fingers. With that said, the hours have been kind of weird post COVID so sometimes even though they say they are open, they are not.

Stale crumbly bread. Under seasoned meat. Bland, Bland, Bland. Frozen unsalted fries. Frozen unsalted onion rings. The beef tasted old. SALT YOUR FOOD. They advertise "Famous burgers". Famous for what? This is not a complicated dish. DO NOT SERVE OLD STALE BREAD TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. If all you're doing is unpacking and reheating frozen ingredients (burger patties, fries, and onion rings", then you better spice it up a bit. This was amateur hour run by teenagers. Will not return, especially when two drinks mediocre burgers with fries and onion rings cost us nearly 40 bucks. I guess your "famous burgers" are famous for being really lame.

My husband, his brother and I stopped at the Sno-Flake Drive-In and were we glad we did!! The hamburgers we ordered were huge & delicious ? The fries were thick and fried to perfection. The absolute best part of the meal, however, was my chocolate milk shake so thick I used the straw as a spoon. With whipped cream & a cherry on top, it was by far the best milkshake I have ever had. Try one and you'll see. Yum!!

Not very much parking so you may have to drive around the block. Guy at the counter wasn't very friendly or enthusiastic... it was like he had a long tough day and didn't want to be there. I ordered the western burger which was ok, I've had much better, it was juicy but the bun was super dry, so it soaked up the juices. The onion rings were pretty greasy and the ranch dipping sauce had a sour taste to it.... Maybe one that came out of a bottle instead of being homemade. I also ordered a M&M shake.... Which was actually a grainy vanilla shake with mini M&Ms they didn't have the thicker straws like for boba, so I basically had a vanilla shake and the M&Ms were all in the bottom. Hubby had an Oreo cookie shake and it hid the grainy ice cream. It was pretty good. Other people ordered shakes and had a cherry on top.... We didn't get one for ours or even offered. Hubby gave them a tip when he paid for the meal, which then they didn't even bring it to us, we got up to get our meal.... Which was only a few steps... The dining room is pretty small, so if anyone has kids the sounds just echo through, there was some seating outside also. So on a nice day it would be nice to sit out there.

Cool little spot but could use some remodeling and updates. Burger and fries, ice cream sundae were delicious. Bathroom needed lots of attention... no soap. Staff did not add soap but instead closed it.

Been going to Sno-Flake since I was 15...I'm now 76. After all those years of getting after-dinner frosty cones, good food, and caring service, starting this summer 2023, none of those positives exist! So very sad. They closed at 6pm, they don't remember to turn their OPEN sign off so consequently longtime customers driving on Hwy 50 pull in and discover they are closed actually closed. This has happened to so many locals and tonight when I knocked on the window and door at 6pm (sign said they close at 7pm), an uncaring, untrained, not interested girl said they are closed. Sno-Flake is not the fun evening spot anymore for food or a frosty!

Food was alright at most. We drove in from Sacramento and didn't quite know where we wanted to stop for lunch. My dad joked with me and said "Look it's a Tastee Freeze." I told him "We can get soft serve here and a burger." Lets go there.Perhaps the first red flag was the uniforms that the kids who were working were wearing. One older kid had on a crop top and a nose piercing. She might not have been a kid, but perhaps a young adult. The place was run by teenagers. It wasn't until the end that an adult came out to get us our soft serve because my dad and I had said "Lets order the food first and then come back for soft serve."Starting with the food, I got the Barbecue Chicken Sandwich. It was alright. My dad got a burger. I don't know which one and he agreed it was alright. We ordered the large fries and it was small at best and for $2 more, a rip off. It took nearly 40 minutes for our food to arrive and we only ordered 3 things. Oh and the fries tasted like the oil was old.The service is pretty much nonexistent. People walk out to the window shouting #1, #12, etc in no order. It was hard to hear when our order was called.When we finished our meal, we walked back inside and waited in line. Luckily I had used the bathroom before, which had no paper towels when my dad went and no soap. When I walked into the bathroom, there was just a massive roll of paper towels not in the dispenser and a bottle of almost empty Dawn Dish Soap. My dad asked the lady at the counter "Could you bring some paper towels into the bathroom and some soap." To which she responded with "There is soap in the bathroom, you just have to push on the dispenser real hard." The dispenser was clearly empty.I ended up having to go to a different restaurant to use the bathroom because I guess after a certain timeframe they received so many complaints that they stuck a piece of tape on the door that said "Bathroom is closed."Soft serve though was good, but not great.If you are looking for a place to eat, just make the ten minute drive over towards Stateline or down the road to Sprouts/ the bar and grill next door.
