15 Best American Restaurants in Incline Village

“Phenomenal. Brussel sprouts, fries, and the biscuits to start. Chicken thighs main: toughest decision I’ve made in a while but it was the right one. Top 5 dish I’ve ever had in my entire life, zero exaggeration. The chicken melts like butter and is complemented perfectly with the crunchy/savory potatoes below. If you’re looking for flavor, dine here. Thank you kindly.“

“Tapas style restaurant, so we tried several items - Bacon Wrapped Medjool Dates (favorite at the table!); Arugula Salad (mint was a delicious touch!); Lobster Sliders (lots of lobster!); Grilled Wild Alaskan Halibut Tacos (just scrumptious!).

This was actually a referral restaurant for us, and we were so happy to enjoy dinner there! Great food and drinks (Old Fashion and the Chocolate Martini)!

We’ll definitely eat at Bite again, whenever we get back to Lake Tahoe and Incline Village!“

“The food is delicious and the staff are amazing! I highly recommend going here“

“Mozzarella sticks and barbecue/medium wings were perfect and cheap compared to most restaurants and the entrees were great too. We had the $14.49 gyros, $22.99 fish and chips, and the $13.99 wagyu sliders (which tasted a tiny bit overcooked) but besides that all tasted great! Nice empty dog friendly outside patio by the creek with many picnic tables and a big table for 12. Service was very fast.“

“Always a great experience at The Grille. Even given all the challenges associated with the pandemic, the service and food were top notch. Thank you to all the staff who are working so hard to provide customers with a great experience!“

“Stopped by Cutthroat's Saloon for an after dinner drink and some dessert to bring back to the room. This establishment is located within the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe, so it makes for a very convenient spot to pick up food if you're staying at the hotel. The restaurant is due a refresh, but I will say that our carmel fudge sundae tonight was out of this world!“

“Visited Sunday Morning June 11, 2023. Was very impressed with every employee with whom I came in contact. Our meals were excellent and the coffee was the best I have had for years!“

“Excellent BBQ!! We will be back!!“

“My husband and I stole away for a date night amid our snow trip and were treated to a quiet, intimate dinner at La Fondue. Jesus and team took great care of us, and we enjoyed a delicious phased dinner at Al a relaxing pace. Nine tables total made it feel cozy, and we plan to return!“

“Delicious food with a great atmosphere“

“We enjoyed the outdoor dining and the weather was awesome. The staff was very friendly and helpful“

“Sombody described this as a “hidden gem.” Not our experience at all. We attempted having lunch here at around 13:30 on August 3, 2025 and the entire area was mobbed. In fact we couldn’t even get to the restaurant because the road that leads to it was barricaded with a sign reading something like, road access reservation required April-September. So just check with someone that you can actually get there before heading to out to Kokanee Bar.“

“Rookies is an outstanding spot for anyone seeking delicious American food in a welcoming, family-friendly setting. We visited on a Sunday night when all the surrounding restaurants had already closed their kitchens. Thankfully, Rookies was open and ready to serve us at 9:30 PM, demonstrating their reliability and commitment to customer satisfaction. The menu is packed with great American food choices, from juicy burgers to mouth-watering quesadillas, and the generous portions ensure you'll leave fully satisfied.

The place itself is small and cozy, which adds to its charm, but what truly sets Rookies apart is the exceptional staff. Our waiter, EeZee (not sure of the spelling), was incredibly friendly and attentive, making our dining experience delightful from start to finish. He went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and his warm, welcoming demeanor truly made us feel like valued guests. With plenty of TVs for sports fans, gaming machines for the kids, and pool and air hockey tables for everyone, Rookies offers a perfect blend of dining and entertainment. Despite it not being busy when we visited, the ambiance was still vibrant and enjoyable. The outstanding service and friendly staff make Rookies our go-to spot whenever we’re visiting the area next time.“
