Food was expensive for what it was. Felt like cheap ingredients, oily and low quality. It was very loud and we would not go back again.

Service and ambience was great. Festive, cool place. Drinks were great, the steak not so much.

The prime rib was out of this world. The house made chips are to die for. Our server was cheerful and professional. Great evening.

There were five of us. Two of us split the pastrami Reuben and it was more than enough. Because for three dollars extra, we got a side salad and it was perfect.

I made a reservation and requested a table outdoors in the shade indicating that my 84 year old father was joining me for Father's Day and this was his special request. When we arrived we were told they didn't reserve tables outside so we were given a table indoors where it was quite loud. Would have been nice if they had told us about their policy before we arrived. The server also rushed us and brought us the check while my dad was still eating his lunch. There were 10 open tables as it was later in the afternoon. Food was good.

The food was delicious but the waitress seemed off and didn't;t know the menu items and didn't tell us that you have to specifically ask for the bread bowl when ordering the cowboy chili which by the way only had 1 small piece of chicken in my bowl.

š· A Sunday to Remember at Bar of America ā Truckeeās Hidden Gem
Beautiful sunny Sunday, nearly 200 of us gathered for a private lunch event at Bar of America, and I can confidently sayāit was an unforgettable experience from the very first sip to the last smile.
As we stepped through the doors, we were greeted not just with warmth, but with a welcoming glass of wineāa beautiful touch that instantly set the tone for the afternoon. The vibe was vibrant yet cozy, with the rustic charm of historic Truckee echoing through the wooden beams, ambient lighting, and friendly smiles from the staff. You could feel the love and energy they pour into every guest experience.
The food? Phenomenal. Fresh. Flavorful. Thoughtfully prepared. There was a wide variety of options, and I was especially impressed by the number of healthy yet satisfying dishes on the menuāsomething that can be hard to come by when feeding a group this size. Every plate that came out of the kitchen was beautifully presented, from the farm-fresh salads to the perfectly cooked mains. People couldnāt stop raving about it.
The staff handled our large group flawlessly, serving with grace, speed, and genuine hospitality. Itās not easy to cater to nearly 200 people and still make it feel personalābut they nailed it. Every guest felt seen, welcomed, and cared for.
Beyond the incredible dining experience, Bar of America is perfectly located for those looking to explore the charming town of Truckee. After lunch, many of us wandered the quaint streets, enjoyed the local shops, and soaked in the mountain town atmosphere. Whether youāre a foodie, a history buff, or just someone who loves discovering unique placesāTruckee has something for you.

in the heart of Downtown Truckee, a charming, historic mountain town nestled in the Sierra Nevada. Bar of America is located right on Donner Pass Road, surrounded by boutique shops, cozy coffee houses, artisan galleries, and locally-owned businesses that give the area such a unique and inviting character.
After our event, many of us strolled through the neighborhood, taking in the fresh mountain air and exploring the quaint streets of downtown. If youāve never been, think: old Western town meets elevated mountain culture. Youāll find: ā¢ āļø Outdoor adventure shops for hiking, biking, or ski gear (depending on the season) ā¢ ā Cozy coffee spots and bakeries with homemade pastries ā¢ šļø Locally made art, clothing, and decor in the many artisan shops ā¢ š² Breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada mountains ā¢ š A glimpse into Truckeeās rich railroad and Gold Rush history
Thereās a nostalgic feel to Truckee, but with modern-day charm. Itās the kind of place where people say hello to strangers, dogs roam happily alongside their owners, and every corner feels like a story waiting to unfold.

We were very happy to return for lunch and the quality of food and service was excellent. Thanks and keep providing good food and service.

Wildly overpriced! $34 for Oroz Pasta (not enough to fill you up!) and then another $12 for a VERY small slab of salmon. Not impressed. The old guy serving us was so erratic that he literally was slamming things around the table. We had 4 people, two ordered RibEye steaks, the other filet. Me the Oroz. He brought out two filets and then apologized. Really???? Oh, he did pay for a Coors beer (big deal!). At these prices, he should never have brought the filet to our table and guilt us into taking it. He should have told his chef to cook another ribeye like we ordered. They got off cheap!! I wonāt return. Overpriced and service was terribly rushed even tho we were there on a Wednesday night with almost no customers. See my photos to show we were there.
This spot was so fun. They had an awesome live band from Reno (very tight) playing funk when we were there. We were late dining and just got a salad and pizza but wow the pizza was great and my wife and I had plenty between us. Waiter was very pleasant and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time.

Atmosphere is good and I was very satisfied with the food. The question is always would you go back? And yes I would

This is a large and very busy restaurant but they run it like a well-oiled machine. The staff is actually super friendly and the food was surprisingly good. We will definitely be back.

My husband and I chose this place hoping to enjoy a lovely dinner together. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant and the staff was polite and welcoming. However, when it comes to the food, I unfortunately left hungry and disappointed.
I ordered a burger and a side of mashed potatoes. We waited about 30 minutes for our food. When it arrived, the mashed potatoes were cold, and the burger was served with undercooked meat ā even though I had specifically asked for it to be well done.
I asked for a replacement, but I had to wait another 30 minutes, and when the new burger finally came, the patty was burnt and there was too much sauce, which overwhelmed the taste.
While I appreciate that my dish was removed from the bill, I still left the restaurant unsatisfied and without enjoying my dinner
