13 Best American Restaurants in Tahoe City

“The food was delicious! The coffee was amazing. And the service was excellent!!“

“One of the best restaurants I’ve ever experienced! The staff were amazing too!! Definitely tell all my friends that travel to Tahoe that this is a must try!!“

“We came for dinner on a Friday night on a holiday weekend and were sat with no wait! We had the best waitress, Kira. Loved the butternut squash ravioli and had one of the best burgers I’ve had in a while! Wish we could have seen the view in the daylight!“

“This restaurant is fantastic! Lukas was one of the best servers I have come across. They have unique and flavorful twists on traditional Scandinavian dishes. And the manager Jeff sources local foods. The ahi appetizer in cones was a recommendation from Jeff and did not disappoint. Our Schnitzel was fabulous and so was the elk pot pie. It was quiet at the time we happened to be there so we got to chat a bit. We learned that the owner’s daughter is the pastry chef so we had to try the cheesecake. Also delicious. It was just a great dining experience.“

“If you are looking for the locals spot, this is the place. Great food at a reasonable price. Not much more that a hungry human could ask for.“

“Best Cheese Burger I have ever had!“

“Food tasted good, service was nice, price was pretty high, as you'd expect being right off the coast of Tahoe, with one of the major highways leading to Tahoe nearby.

Decent place to chill and relax if you're hanging around the nearby beaches, but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back here.

There were bathrooms for customers.

There's parking not too far from here. Didn't notice a dedicated lot.“

“Great environment with wonderful vibes of hot buttered rum and snowy nights with a cozy feel.“

“I ordered the Swedish pancakes, absolutely delicious! Friendly staff, great service! I will return“

“Phenomenal food, service, ambience and atmosphere. The menu changes and my favorite is the Tasting Menu. It is divine and I always feel like royalty when I go. 🍽️🧑🏽‍🍳👑🌊🌲“

“Last week the sun was shining all week, we decided to go skiing in Lake Tahoe since my daughter is in town. After a beautiful day skiing, we found this restaurant close to our townhouse so we had dinner here.
This place is in kinda downtown Lake Tahoe City, small parking lot, but we had parking in front due to weekday.
The restaurant is clean and the server is extremely pleasant and attentive. The menu has many of dishes that we can all enjoy. The prices are so reasonable for Tahoe.
We tried the Ahi Tower and it was so delicious, this is a must have since we finished it in a heart beat, the tuna is moist and marinated just right, we wished there're more chips with it.
My son ordered the crawfish mac'n cheese and both of my kids liked them.
I wanted to try the blacken chicken with side order of onion rings instead of fries and it's excellent, my son had half of mine.
My wife Salmon BLTA was amazingly tasty and the kids tried it and liked it too.
My daughter always liked the Cheese steak and the midtown did the trick, melted cheese steak with bread.
It's nice to try new places and we're glad we found this place. The service is great, the big portion dishes are excellent and the prices don't break the bank, what else can you ask for at a restaurant? We all voted for 5 stars.“

“Beautiful views and charming atmosphere!“

“We’re visiting from the Uk and can’t recommend Za’s enough. Amazing food, amazing view, amazing service, amazing food, amazing staff and amazing value. I can’t recommend this place enough, we loved it and the only negative is that we live a million miles away! Thank you for with a lovely experience xx“
