American Restaurants near Zephyr Cove

“Great food and service. Nice hometown feel.“

“Enjoyed my breakfast at the restaurant. Chorizo & papas burrito was the best.“

“We stopped in at this restaurant for breakfast on our way out of town. Be careful, their omelets, etc., have three eggs, which makes them giant sized (my wife and I split one)! The toast was good, service was excellent, and food was very tasty!“

“Absolutely the best new restaurant in Tahoe. Indian American Asian Fusion. A must when visiting and for locals“

“Great service, cute atmosphere, and extensive menu. We enjoyed our breakfast there.“

“With reservations the wait was about 5-10 minutes. Beautiful dining area. The food was good. Wait time from order to table about 25 minutes. Sever was friendly. Coffee cup and water glasses sat empty for 15-20 minutes. Not terrible but needs a few tweaks for me to give an outstanding rating.“

“We love this place! Have breakfast every time we are here! Fast and friendly service in a nice little quiet atmosphere.“

“This was such a nice evening my wife and I had a great time the food was great the service was great. (Ashleigh was absolutely phenomenal) the drinks were killer. Will be coming back 100%. You want some nice atmosphere and great everything go here“

“A simple diner with the best breakfast on Lake Tahoe! Filling and delicious options of all kinds on their menu with good coffee they just keep pouring. We don't often revisit a restaurant on vacation (we like to explore new options), but made an exception for The Red Hut. Highly recommend!“

“😀Beautiful location, well-appointed bar and restaurant, very nice wine selection, and right next to the beach. We had my mom's 60th birthday here and it was lovely. Awesome views, well managed, great staff.“

“Their food never disappoints. My husband would move to Tahoe for the tacos at Freshies alone. We come once a year for our anniversary and it’s a total experience, the food, the view, and the waiters and waitresses are always so nice. It’s an experience!“

“Though they advertise that they are open for breakfast (everywhere including on their menus on Google and the QR codes in each of the hotel rooms), you cannot get breakfast here. The sign outside the restaurant says seating is limited, unsure why. Food is a little pricey but if you’re staying there, it’s convenient, and not bad. More veggie options would be great. In general the Holiday Inn David Walley Resort is a shadow of its former self. You get the sense that they are inadequately staffed everywhere you look. The grounds are unkempt, garbage cans were at the max, yet the location against the backdrop is beautiful. On a positive note, all the spas were functioning and clean - and for a spa, that matters.“

“Es un lugar encantador y las vistas son maravillosas“

“Fantastic atmosphere, friendly staff. Mac and Cheese and pork sandwich were delish, French onion could have used a little more salt during making (not the same as adding salt at the table). Even saw some deer rummaging in the front.“

“The food was hot and delicious! We only ate breakfast food and everything was really good. We ended up eating there 4 mornings. Jose and Anita our servers twice and they were the BEST!! Very friendly and prompt service. I would highly recommend!“

“Beautiful experience! I took my mom for a nice holiday dinner - we started with the pork belly with a nice pairing of strawberry salad. For entrees, we had the mushroom ravioli and the scallops - yum! Cooked perfectly, and the sauces were rich and flavorful, will definitely order these again! We passed on dessert, but a bottle of New Zealand Sauv Blanc was perfection as we delighted in the wonderful service. Will enjoy this place again and again!“

“Magic Fusion is an awesome show to see and attend in Tahoe. We enjoyed the show with Robert Hall so much! He was funny and entertaining the whole night, involved the audience a lot, and shows you tricks you have never seen before! Go see it!!“

“This is a good place for breakfast and lunch. However, the service is a bit confusing; they provide black coffee when you sit at the table. We wanted to order breakfast, but the server said, "I am not your server. Let me send you the right person." They simply left us without sending the server or whoever was responsible for taking our order. It was our first time there, so I don't know if this is a common occurrence. Everything else about the place is good.

Vegetarian options: For vegetarians, simply ask the server whether they can make it without meat.

Parking: We visited on Friday, so I'm not sure about the availability on the weekend.“

“It’s a no for us. We had our wedding reception here at the Tavern and while the food and drinks were amazing, the way we were treated by management was awful. (Serving staff was wonderful!). We started working with Wendy (owner/manager I'm assuming) months before the wedding. She had to make it known from the beginning that she was doing us a favor by letting us come here on a Saturday night. We paid her $680 for a ton of food, that she was trying to say wouldn't be enough for 40ish people (it was, we had leftovers), and everyone bought their own drinks (39 open tabs they got from us that night). All in all, they got a pretty decent chunk of money from us and our group. When my party got to the tavern, they were told we had an hour and a half (this would put us at 6:30pm) before they would be asking us to leave. This was a huge shock, as Wendy never mentioned a time limit for our event. We were always under the impression that we could stay there as long as we want, as long as our party was buying drinks! Later in the night, we were told that we had to leave by 7 because they had another wedding party coming. This was also never mentioned to us during the planning. So they started bussing our tables while people were still sitting down and made everyone close out their tabs and leave the Tavern. Well we ended up hanging out there until 8:30pm and there was no other party that showed up. It was completely empty up until the time that my groom and I left, and they closed at 10pm. Bummer for them that they missed out on all the extra money from that second wedding party. On top of that, the chef came out to me while we were about to start cutting the cake and asked if we would like him to cut it for us. He offered so nicely, we said yes please and thank you and he did a a wonderful job. Then on our way out, they chased us down telling us that we had to pay for the cake cutting that was offered to us. And on top of all of that, they were trying to charge us $100 for "corkage fees", when there were never any bottles opened by us. I didn't get the manager's name that brought us the extra $150 bill for cake cutting and corkage but he was flat rude. After arguing with my husband and I, and asking the waiter how many bottles he saw (zero open), he did take off the over $100 for corkage, as he should have. Our waiter who took care of us all night, Jake, was literally amazing. He had our back that night, he helped us figure out all the mess that the Tavern caused and he got us back to feeling good about our wedding night. Honestly, if we could have invited Jake to the after party, we would have. Oh and Wendy was nowhere to be found during this whole thing. All this to say, don't expect any sort of decent service from management and don't try to have an event here. Management is rude, they act like they don't want you there, and they push business out the door. At least you can have a nice pizza tho.“

“Fish and Chips were the best. We split a plate and still had leftovers!“

“I had a good time here with my family. Had the appetizer sampler and a couple of beers. My Mom had a glass of wine. It was pretty chill when we went, so we didn't have to elbow our way in for a seat. They validated our parking as well.“

“Steamers Bar & Grill is amazing! The food is fresh and mouth watering. The atmosphere is super fun with live music, and the owner Heather and staff treated us like family. We had the best time and will definitely return. Highly recommend! 😊👍“

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

“Brian and Jill were great to work with!“

“Very good service pub hosts will accommodate any size party’s and or individuals, great atmosphere, good food for south shore you can’t get any better“

“Ate breakfast here while staying at Bally’s. They offer a 18.99 brunch special which includes eggs, pancake, French toast, hash browns, fruit, and meat plus a mimosa. This is more than enough for two people. You can get them to split plate it for $5 and it is a ton of food. We were all very full. The chicken fried steak was also super tasty. Would highly recommend for a breakfast.“

“Love the Red Hut waffle restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff! Great waffles! Will become a regular breakfast spot, when in South Lake Tahoe.“

“Totally amazing meal. Just the best in service and food.“

“Great food, service and restaurant.“

“We had a wonderful time at this establishment that is popular with the locals. Our bartender, Christine, was very knowledgeable about the area and provided us with excellent recommendations for places to ride, eat, and experience the beauty of the region.
We returned twice more for late-night cocktails, and Josh also proved to be an exceptional bartender and the food was GOOD!
Thanks for the wonderful time!“

“We had a great meal, but when we left, we noticed that my son left his retainer behind. The staff was so very helpful in helping us locate it, and we were very thankful for their above and beyond assistance. We will see you again next year!😊“

“Honestly this place is a gem. Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff and we came here looking for tapas and we found just that. If you want some cocktails and small bites, this hits the mark.

However, portions are small. The filet is literally tweezer food. Like it could have been one course of a 10 course tasting menu, that small. The gratin potatoes were really good but was (no joke) one mouthful. Also, I’m not certain that it was 6oz. petite filet as our server mentioned but maybe 6 thin slices, 4oz at best. There was no sharing, I ate that shiz in 4 bites, $26. I’m all for high quality and I’m happy to pay $60-75 for a New York (not even the best cut, obviously not Morton’s steakhouse prices or portions with super inflated white collar independent steakhouse prices, or even like Paul Flemings steakhouse quality, you know Paul Fleming right, the PF Chang’s parent company) but knock my socks off guys, like make those the 4 best bites I’ve ever put in my mouth.“

“Restaurant looked nice with a cool bar that opened up to the deck outside. Walked in and were seated within 5 minutes. Service seemed overwhelmed for a fairly slow evening, our server seemed to work a lot of tables. Food came out fairly quickly and hot. We had Mahi tacos, Philly steak, loaded chips, and kiddo shrimp plate. Everything was amazing, prices were great for amount of food, and we’d definitely eat here again.“

“I love their happy hour with so many delicious food choices.“

“Prix fix meal is perfection.

Seriously another level I had never tasted with the wine pairing of each course.

Scallops that have incomparable mouth feel and texture.

Wellington that is a sight to behold plus so unctuous.

And sticky toffee pudding that may be the most perfect dessert ever concocted.

I'll be back when I can afford it. (But well worth it)

Kid-friendliness: Not a place for kids under 12 I'd say.“

“Absolutely love this Property! Thank you, Katie for making everything so amazing on our family trip!“

“Beautiful setting on the golf course overlooking the lake and mountains. Our server was attentive and provided great service. He allowed us to dine leisurely, not making us feel like we had to rush through our dining experience. We had the burger, club sandwich, and mahi mahi tacos, which were all delicious. We will definitely return on our next visit to Tahoe!“

“Absolutely love this Property! Thank you, Katie for making everything so amazing on our family trip!“

“This is one of the best spots in the area! Great beer selection on tap. Food is decent, staff was on point. Eric was our bartender, he kept us laughing the whole time and recommended some good brew. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area. Cheers!“

“We had a wonderful experience here. Highly recommend. The food and service were both outstanding. Reasonable prices.“

“We had a great lunch and Dillon, out waiter, was great.“
