27 Best American Restaurants in Truckee

“Great Food and Service! Wow! Thank you!“

“Had a wonderful lunch with my friend yesterday! The food was so delicious, and our server (don't know his name...but he was tall with blond hair and glasses) was the BEST!!! 🤩“

“Absolutely the most delicious perfectly prepared provisions you can get in Truckee!“

“Delightful place to eat!!!“

“The best part of this restaurant is it's environment and it's dog friendliness. We always go with Ares our JRT and you often see other dogs, on the patio. Food is good too, but I actually like my own cooking of quality meat in general.“

“Greg is always super helpful and can order anything you need if not in stock“

“We sat on the porch with beautiful weather. Inside vibe is really cool also!
We had the mushroom tortelli and it was amazing. Savory but light. We are from bourbon country (KY) and had an old fashioned that was incredible! Owner was present greeting tables and so personable. Definitely recommend!“

“This is a good place to stop and have lunch during your Northstar ski experience. However, I can't give it five stars because the prices are at least double the normal cost. That applies to everything sold here. Options for vegan or vegetarian guests are very limited. All that aside, it's a nice ski lodge, and the food is fine if you like burgers, fries, pizza, chicken tenders, etc. Lines are usually short, and the staff is friendly and helpful. It is clean and tidy.“

“The food was great, but the service was even better.
Branzino was perfectly cooked - maybe needed a tad more salt.
The steak was more than perfectly cooked medium rare with crispy edges.
Cocktail was ok, not my favorite but the red wine was very good (Chianti)“

“Quick, friendly service! The chili hit the spot.“

“Great place rode the gondola up from North Star village. Our server Max was amazing! Food was great, atmosphere amazing. Definitely good place after a long day of skiing kids loved it too. Drinks were amazing too. Don’t let the negative reviews scare you off. Definitely come here and enjoy good food, drinks and atmosphere. It’s pricy but it’s the Ritz sooooooo.

Kid-friendliness: My kids loved it. They also know how to behave in a nice restaurant.“

“I ate there and the burger and onion rings I had were awesome!“

“A must stop when in Truckee!!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Staff was friendly and able to pivot quickly when a small meetup changed to a larger gathering.“

“This place was sooooo good! Amazing food, beers, and service.“

“Big kudos to Northstar and Zephyr Lodge! You're leading the way in reducing single-use plastic. I was so impressed to see that Zephyr Lodge has eliminated them. It's a fantastic example of how ski resorts can make a difference in protecting our precious mountain ecosystems. This makes me even happier to bring my family to Northstar.“

“We just had our anniversary dinner here. How does this restaurant not have a Michelin star? Some of the most incredible food we have ever had and it’s here in Truckee! We have been most disappointed with the truckee food scene especially for what it costs up here, but Trokay is absolutely worth the hype, expense, and your time. The flavors of every course were put together masterfully. I just wish we had gotten it together enough to come here sooner, what a gem to have in town. I hope anyone that is a foodie or just wants to be blown away by some amazing food/ flavors makes it to this restaurant. You will be impressed! The owners are amazing, just look at those resumes, and the service was wonderful. Definitely will be coming back!“

“Blue Coyote has nailed the sports bar experience. Plenty of TVs, great food, and cold beer. The atmosphere is lively and fun, making it a great place to cheer on your team. The staff is super efficient and friendly. Can't ask for more than that! We'll be back next weekend.“

“Nice kick back good beers 🇺🇸🇺🇸“

“Best experience over looking Truckee ! Sisters and I had a Wonderful and friendly experience ‘. Beautiful views and great food ! Sam our waiter was attentive and was there to make sure we were treated exceptionally well ! Thank you Sam for your friendly hospitality and wonderful service !💕“

“I Went here on Thanksgiving and was able to get in and seated under five minutes which o was surprised by. The Service was fast and waiters and waitresses were friendly. We really enjoyed our Thanksgiving breakfast here and we will come back next year again for Thanksgiving breakfast“

“I don’t understand the lower ratings for this place. We had a great experience. Service was attentive and they were able to accommodate a special request. Menu had lots to offer and the food was delicious. Unlike some other restaurants at the resort, portions were generous. And Tipsy Tuesday offers 2 for 1 wine by the glass with generous pours. Please give them a try. You won’t be sorry!“

“We sat on the deck and had a delightful dinner. The food continues to be outstanding and the service is great! Michael the new manager is extremely personable and makes a point to walk around and check in on the guests. I love their Caesar salad, fish tacos and fish special. The kids menu is also good and the dessert selection yummy. Give it a try.“

“I got the 1/2 tritip plate with coleslaw and rice with tortillas. Very tasty and fills you up. My daughter got the 1/2 chicken (which is literally half of a chicken) with coleslaw and rice with garlic bread and she brought half home. it was all tasty.“

“I loved this place! It was really neat to go inside and take a look around. We ate outside, which was perfect for this weather. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. I got the peach salad with grilled chicken, which tasted delicious! The portions were a little smaller than I would have liked for the price, but it was a great portion for a smaller lunch salad. Would definitely recommend going there, especially eating outside and absorbing the atmosphere.“

“Good greeting when we arrived. Seated right away. Service was ok, food ok and decor was a dinner decor. Just didn’t feel that dinner type vibe from the staff and so on.
Maybe get more involved with patrons and tell their story of the place and what brought them to work there. Engage more and more welcoming. I would come back again for a second try.“
