I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.“

“We had a small wedding reception here on August 19. We started in the garden until rain moved in and MacDuffs quickly moved us inside and upstairs. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress was awesome and working with MacDuffs beforehand was great too. We were a party of 18 from Michigan and everyone was very complimentary! Highly recommend!!’“

“We enjoyed Red Hut for a 'brunch' morning meal. Eggs, hash browns, pancakes, french toast all nice and refills for tea and coffee too. The service was attentive enough and the decor felt traditional and homely which we liked. The portions are large (as expected!) but we were given a box to takeaway our leftovers. Overall - simple fare done well.“

“$11 for this SUPER chicken burrito.
traditional and family-owned Mexican restaurant. there are six or seven tables to eat inside and they only take cash. super burrito is like a giant burrito and the ingredients are fresh and good quality. it's not a fancy place but I like the vibes of home atmosphere. prices are 20 to 30% lower or even better than other local Mexican restaurants.

Highly Recommended“

“Best Burgers 🍔 in Lake Tahoe🔥“

“We made a same-day reservation and were seated right on time. Our server was excellent--efficient and attentive. The garlic bread appetizer was great! My husband had the Paisano rigatoni that was delicious and spicy. I had the excellent fettuccini alfredo. As an added bonus, we had affordable, excellent wine by Ferrari-Carano. Will definitely go back next time we are in Tahoe.“

“Five Stars!!! Great service and delicious food. Im a local and this place is a staple of my diet. Cheers! -Scotty“

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

“This place was way better than I expected! Jason was awesome and the Mac n cheese was killer. The ribs were just alright but the pulled pork sandwich was amazing and so was the pizza. We will definitely be coming back since this was open late and was an overall pleasant experience!“

“Excellent food and service! Our server (Shane?) was attentive and friendly. Our busser (Thomas) was super attentive and personable. Silly point - I like that everyone said “you're welcome” or "thank you" rather than the overused phrase "no problem."“

“I have eaten pizza in 32 states and I have to say Lake Tahoe Pizza Company crushes them all. My only complaint is I wish they had a location close to me.“

“Omg! Recommended by a friend… pastor tacos on point! Hamburger with fixings delicious… but obviously tacos had me WINNER… pastor with pineapple 100% bomb… carne asada flavor… Carnitas had me at HELLLLOOOOO“

“The food is amazing and is located inside the casino. Unfortunately, it's very expensive and you have to pay extras for everything. The restaurant isn't a restaurant and it was extremely cramped. Honestly, it's a little overpriced for what it is but it's still worth it!“

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

“Perfect and we are very picky especially for the price!“

“love this place, service is awesome drinks are great. love Reno and Lucky Beaver“

“Love the beer, love the food, and the staff is top notch. My favorite Tahoe spot!“

“Will start off by saying the food was great! However the hostess was another story. Recwntly had dinner on 8/11/24. The hostess would not let us sit at the table to start ordering drinks because we were missing 2 out of the 8 people in our group. needless to say we already had 6 ready to be seated. once we were seated the table next to us had the umbrella slanted. this caused the table to fly over from a gust of wind shattering a plate and cutting my leg. the stay was kind enough to provided a wipe and some bandaid. We continued our night until the hostess decided to empty water cups from other guest into the flower bed behind us. Which then caused the dirt to splash up on one of our guest white shirts and be covered in mud. A smug sorry was replied out. As stated before the food was terrific and the wait staff was great but the hostess needs to be replaced.“

“Great authentic tacos. New favorite spot for tacos in the South Lake Tahoe area. Haven’t found a better one yet.“

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

“Best Bakery from the Nevada to South Lake Tahoe, and possibly all over Tahoe! Amazing family run bakery with quality savory and sweet treats! They also catered an amazing desert table this past weekend for a family event. My only complaint is the deserts were so good, they were completely gone by the end of the night and I wasn’t able to take any home. I guess my loss is everyone else’s gain.. next time I’m hiding some for myself.“

“This place is a HIDDEN GEM!

My Family and I have been going to Tahoe for all of our lives and somehow we have missed this A+ Chinese Restaurant.

We were in the mood to try something new, and we decided on Chinese food. After we did a search on google, Hunan Garden caught our eye. With a wide range of food from hearty soups to flavorful dishes of rice, orange chicken, chow mein, shrimp (tons of different variations) and the list goes on!

The service was absolutely amazing! We never had to ask for drink refills, our waiter was constantly checking on us to see if we needed anything.

From the time we placed our order to receiving the food was fast. When it comes to portion sizes Hunan Garden doesn’t hold back. We order a variety of things to try out. We are a family of 5 but when the food came, it look like they were serving an army ?. The food tastes as good as it looks. Everything was cooked to perfection!

You can tell the workers have a lot of pride in what they do. Waiters giving A+ service, the cooks making amazing dishes, and to the busser making sure the restaurant is spotless and it was!

If you’re looking for an amazing Chinese restaurant look no further because Hunan Garden Restaurant is everything you’re looking for and more!“

“This is a fun, family-friendly, dog-friendly place, with an ever-changing selection of fine beers brewed right on site. Seating inside and out.
They have a weekly trivia contest, and sometimes sponsor special events with outside food vendors and various expert artists and craftspeople.“

“Thanks to chef David, and sevice man - professional Andrew(pollite guy))) - for prep. absolutely delicios broccoli beef, walnut shrimps, mushrooms - everything what we ordered, was melted on mouth. Sadly many years we were driving around, and just discovered such a nice place. God bless you guys!“

“Absolutely delicious authentic Mexicano food 1000/10 would recommend, worth every cent. Delicious, fresh ingredients, beautiful atmosphere, wonderful staff and great food. If you’re looking for some good Mexican food and big portions! I’d definitely recommend this place“

“We came thinking it was a buffet of Chinese food, but it was a fast food small restaurant with few tables. The food was surprisingly very good and cheap, with generous portions, served in foam containers. There was no bells and whistles, with basic service, but the place was simple yet clean, with burning hot delicious Chinese foods. We definitely will come back with our next trip to Lake Tahoe. Yes, we had plenty of left over to take back to the hotel. Parking was ample and right next to the place.“

“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!“

“Always consistently great food, every time!“

“Our meal was very good and the service was awesome. The views can’t be beat!“

“Absolutely in love with this restaurant! They are incredibly dog-friendly. We were even able to order a special meal for our pup. The menu has drinks named after the staff’s dogs, which we thought was such a fun touch. The whole place has a cozy, treehouse vibe, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder. They took wonderful care of us and even surprised our dog with free treats.

The food was delicious, the service was lightning fast, and despite being busy, they seated our party of five (plus a dog) immediately without a reservation. I’ll be back every time I’m in town!

A few extra notes: parking is limited, but free street parking is available nearby. Plenty of vegetarian options, and you must try their biscuits!! They’re unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!“

“Had a great experience. Nick the bartender was great. Friendly, polite and attentive. Would definitely return.“

“Great food, service and restaurant.“

“Grabbed a sandwich and went to El Dorado Beach for lunch. I got a roast beef with everything on Dutch Crunch. The sandwich was a little bland for my taste. I should have added jalapeños or pepperoncinis for more flavor. Their lemonade was pretty good ?. The sandwich held up well on the ride to the park. I might try a different sandwich next time.“

“Great local pizza place. We ordered a supreme and cheese pizza and a Caesar salad. We got our order to go and they were fast and the quality of the pizza was good. The lettuce on the Caesar salad was wilted and seemed like it had been sitting in the heat which may have just been us getting it for takeout. The dressing on the salad seemed homemade and we enjoyed it.“

“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!“

“Food is fine but nothing special. Service, drinks and atmosphere are very good! Pizzas are disappointing but the white pizza is definitely the best one and imo the only one worth the price. Sandwiches are good. The side salads are really good. Everything carries the "Tahoe tax" aka overpriced. Love the vibes and we come here often just to eat around the fire pits“

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

“Great music fun bonfires and lights . I enjoyed the strawberry milkshake beer .“
