Best Restaurants
“Food is just food trucks with pretty good food nothing to write home about tbh.The service is always incredible. The selection of beers is huge and all of them are delicious and varried. We enjoyed the blood orange ale. However I've also had the nitro cream ale and both are awesome!!!!”
“Two personals were both delicious. Fast service, server was helpful and quick, definitely my favorite pizza joint to visit whenever I end up in South Lake Tahoe.”
“A definite must when spending an evening in Tahoe! The service was excellent, drinks good and atmosphere perfect. I loved their outside area that's a perfect escape if you get overwhelmed by loud groups inside. Will definitely be one of our new go-to's when in town!”
“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. 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.”
“This place is awesome, nickey the bartender is great. Really dog friendly. Not like other places that say dog friendly but very limited. Nickey loves the dogs, gets the fireplace going and you feel like you’re at home. Well worth the stop. Oh yeah the beer is really good too?”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Absolutely beautiful view, the food was so delicious, and the wine flights were spot on perfection. The customer service is so attentive, this definitely a must do experience!”
“Off the Hook is Tahoe local's go-to for sushi. The menu is varied with many choices, and the food is wonderful. We enjoy the atmosphere, and the staff is awesome!”
“AWESOME food, service and cool restaurant! Had the salmon encased with lobster yesterday and it was Phenomenal! No less than 5 Stars-we go every time we are in Tahoe!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“we were waiting for our food for kind of a while, and half of our party's food came out a whole 15 minutes before everyone else's. however, they gave us a discount as an apology for the wait, and when the food did come out, it was actually quite good. nice, comfy vibe inside too.”

“Sophie was incredible. I was attending a bachelorette party weekend and as I left to get coffee all 13 girls texted me their coffee order. As I was already there, I cautiously approached Sophie who has multiple door dash orders to complete in a timely matter, a few customers and a broken espresso machine. Sophie took my orders and had the drinks ready and made to perfection in just 10 minutes. She was extremely professional and I made sure to go back again the next day to order just three coffees because it was so good. Thank you Sophie!”
“This place is so cute and inviting. The owner/operator was so cheerful and friendly that i felt like an old friend. Had the "goat" sandwich and was blown away at how good it was. Everything was very reasonably priced. Would 100% recommend this place!!”
“We loved this chic and friendly brewery. We were killing some time before dinner and decided to chill out here after a long day of skiing. We got there before happy hour really started. Folks were starting to trickle in so we grabbed some seats and tried their local brews. We started out with him getting the Hazy IPA and I got the Lakeview Blond. I loved it and he loved his. Next thing we know, we called the restaurant and canceled our reservation because the food here smelled so good. We caved. I had the tomato basil soup and an order of pretzels and he had the Reuben. We were SO pleased. The beer pretzel and soup combo was often. I didn't like the cheese dip - sort of tasted like chicken and not enough cheese and the mustard was seed mustard. Wish they had a nice German mustard but starving skiers are not really all that picky. My stomach said "Shut up" to my brain and my hands were on automatic tearing up those beautiful pretzels and dipping them into my soup. I'm drooling now just thinking about it. Last but not least, our server was like family. So friendly, welcoming, polite, thorough, responsive and easy on the eyes (Argentinian). By the time I left, I was ready to adopt him! So sweet to us. Thanks for a great meal after a fantastic day of spring skiing.”

“Visited on a Monday morning. The hostess had an attitude going; definitely not the kind of person I'd put at the front of my restaurant.Fortunately, it was uphill from there. Our server was attentive and he made sure we had what we needed. Food was good, portions were generous, and the kitchen accommodated a request we had. Restaurant is large, clean, and has a fun ambiance.”
“Off the Hook is Tahoe local's go-to for sushi. The menu is varied with many choices, and the food is wonderful. We enjoy the atmosphere, and the staff is awesome!”
“GREAT little bakery! The lines were always long which only shows to prove how great they are! The staff were all super nice and efficient. We waited about 10 mins to order and about 5 minutes for the food and drink. I ordered the iced mocha and it was so creamy and yummy. I also got the bagel breakfast sandwich which comes with egg, bacon, and cream cheese spread. I got the sea salt bagel and I feel like the salty of the bagel mixed with the sweet of the cream cheese was perfect! Chef kiss. I also love have they have tons of gluten free options and several drink adaptations that can be made (almond milk, coconut milk, etc...). Overall it was great and you're bound to find something that works for you !”
“Delicious! Definitely order the Guac and Chipotle tacos!”
“We stopped there to pick up sandwiches on our way to a hike in lake tahoe area.They were very warm and welcoming. We had veggie burger, grilled veggie sandwiche and one Reuben. Everything turned out to be good. Although fries were not great but it might be because we had it after a while and they were cold by that time.Full points to staff for the services. Also very ince decoration.”
“Food is Good bartenders are friendly, honestly I don't go there enough!Parking: They have plenty of parking spots, but their are times you have to park on the street behind steamersWheelchair accessibility: Yes it is wheelchair friendly ?”
“The Cork & More team is wonderful to work with and handled our wedding catering with ease! We had about 70 guests for our reception at the Idle Hour and received so many compliments on how great the taco bar was and how kind the staff was. Karla did a great job to work within our budget and offered customized quoting for our event. I must also say that Cork & More is a fantastic place to stop for a sandwich on a normal day or for fun artisanal goodies if you're in the South Lake Tahoe area.”
“Such a great group.I was in town on business and had a great meal and drinks. They treated me like family.Definitely a go to for a good selection of drinks and food.I can't wait until I come back to town.”
“Great beer which is the most important thing when the place is called "brewing company." I had Lakeside Caprese sandwich and my husband had a smash burger. The burger was good but my Caprese sandwich was incredible. The homemade foccacia bread reminded me of foccacia bread we had in Italy!!!! Fresh basil and tasty mazz cheese were excellent. Great job, guys!!! Better to ride the gondola and have lunch here than at any lodge at Heavenly. We will definitely go back and bring friends with us. We will convert them to fans.”
“Nice spot for lunch with a beer or cocktail. Great staff and the owner actively walks around the restaurant checking on her guests. She closed the blinds for us because she saw the sun shining in our eyes. The food was good, and the drinks were delicious. It's worth a visit in your in SLT.”
Outdoor Dining
“Love this place. Best coffee near the Y. Great place to get some work done or find a unique gift for someone.Renting the conference room for work events is super easy. We've hosted work meetings there; great to be able to order coffee/drinks/food to make everyone comfortable.”
“Two personals were both delicious. Fast service, server was helpful and quick, definitely my favorite pizza joint to visit whenever I end up in South Lake Tahoe.”
“We have been visiting Lake Tahoe at least once a year for the past 14 years and we have breakfast or brunch at the Gateway Cafe every day. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is very friendly. One of my favorites dishes is the Cream of Mushroom special.”
“Awesome food, awesome staff/atmosphere. Local hotspot. I wouldn’t come here if you’re in a hurry while it’s busy, the kitchen is small and they can only push out so much food at once so it can take a while sometimes but it’s worth the wait!”

“It’s cash only but it’s worth it! We showed up without cash but there is a liquor store and other places close by with ATMs. Highly recommend. The super burrito with marinated beef was *chefs kiss* ?”
“Delicious place to stop for après ski. We had the mini pretzel, the sausage plate and a peaches and cream strudel for dessert. All were tasty choices and we were glad to enjoy them after a day on the slopes. The servers were friendly and the decor was as if you were in the mountains of Germany.”
“Ordered the night before and picked up breakfast on the way to the mountains. Got the jalapeño ultimate breakfast bagel and subbed sausage for the bacon. It was made fresh and delicious! Service was quick and the workers were friendly. My friends ordered some other breakfast sandwiches and one with cream cheese which they enjoyed.”
“What a great brewery. Nice music and a great selection of brews! Not to mention the staff are excellent and knowledgeable about their beers.LGBT friendly, so if that bothers you don't show up and go get educated.”
“Friendly staff! Everything we have tried has been excellent! As locals living in a tourist town it is hard to find places we like, that is not outrageously expensive or over crowded. Still slightly pricey, but we get it for the quality of food. Cheers to your cooks!”
“Great little spot when the weather is good or you'll be eating in your car. Hot dogs are amazing. They are not your average salty store brand. I have had about 5 different dogs and all have been great”
“Delicious pizza and great atmosphere ! Order the Acapulco (large) and the Pesto chips.The Acapulco tastes like a good taco but in a pizza form, would have preferred a bit more meat but it was delicious. The pesto chips was the winner between the two.”

Online Reservation Available
“1st time here and wow wow wow everything was fantastic!!Had the garden salad with blue cheese to start with and the garlic cheese bread..Out standing!Shared the clam linguini and it was spectacular!”
“We had a 745pm reservation on a Friday night. We arrived a bit early and our table was not yet ready and since the place is really small we had to wait outside and the heater was out of gas so we were out in the cold (it was raining and was 39°F) for about 10 minutes. We were asked if we wanted bread - garlic bread or another option - we ordered the garlic bread which was good when it came out warm and fresh, however, got cold easily. I do not think it is worth $10. We ordered the soft-shelled crab for our appetizer and it was amazing ! I ordered the Linguine Fra Diavolo - it had adequate amount of seafood in it, the pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and had great flavor. My boyfriend ordered the Bistecca alla Veneziana - it was a huge portion as it came with 2 steaks. The filet mignon was cooked as ordered (medium rare), however, they were not that tender but still okay. We Got the pear for dessert and this was very delicious! Servers that night, Ed and Jennifer, were nice and friendly Price is reasonable considering the size of the portions. Please note that the bill does not show an itemized list of the order - it has several lines of just prices. The place has 6 tables so make sure you call to make reservations - there is no option of doing online reservation. There is a parking lot. We will definitely return to this place the next time we visit South Lake Tahoe.”
“We visited this place on a Sunday afternoon. Indoor seating was quite empty and we were seated immediately. Friendly staff and the food items came out very fast. Nice decor. The location is very good and easy to accessVegetarian options: Few vegetarian options”
“Amazing, authentic Mexican food. This is a casual dining restaurant with a comfortable atmosphere. We discovered this place on a Friday and had to go back again on Monday. Friendly service and again, amazing food.”
“Dining at the Bear Moon was an experience worth mentioning. Chef Spider007 really made the BEST food I have ever eaten at this establishment. His attention to every detail of our meal and the experience we had while dining there was nothing less than magical...The food was exceptional.Thank you Spider007.......one of the greatest chefs ever.......We will definitely return .....”
“Starting with the cocktails, they are amazing. Truly hand crafted. My wife gets the refreshing Cucumber Splash, and I stay near and dear to my go to cocktail, the Kentucky Style Old Fashioned. Both are about perfect. Uber back to the cabin perfect if you have a few. We've had the burgers here. Both are delicious. Full side of fries or salad makes for a complete, but not too healthy meal. We're up in Tahoe a lot, and this is now our favorite place to go. Order at the bar, take a table and wait for the waiter or waitress to serve you. Locals- they have a special too. Ask about it!”
“Wow! Went for mother's day and it certainly did not disappoint. The absolute sweetest staff and best atmosphere. Special thanks to Lilly and Charity for making our experience the best. So nice! Best food, best atmosphere!”
“We have the absolute best experience here! The food is phenomenal and the wait staff couldn’t have been better! Highly recommend… we actually structure our vacations around this restaurant now because of how much we love it.”
“It was a cozy and nice place . We went for a food delivery hereLiked all dishes and they are spicy enough as requested . Becareful when you request for to be made more spicyLiked crab fried rice the most”
“I had a wonderful experience this evening. It is New Year's eve, and I knew they would be reserved all night. Regardless, I called ahead and asked if they could take a 1 top walk-in. They were able to grab a table for me.Due to them being reserved all night, I got a table at the Cocktail Corner. I originally ordered at the bar (as was communicated to me due to the full reservations). Though regardless, Jenna (a bartender), still gave me table service throughout my experience.The oysters were divine, and Jenna even ran next door to their sister restaurant to grab me some crackers for my oysters. The asparagus mushroom ravioli was so unique and delicious (I highly recommend). Lastly, I finished with the Citrus Olive Oil Strawberry Shortcake and was not disappointed.I would highly recommend this establishment, and I will definitely be back.”
“We live about an hour and a half from Tahoe, so we don't get a chance to eat here often. But when we DO come to Tahoe, Blue Dog is an ESSENTIAL stop while we're here. The food is amazing! It's become our family tradition to come here once or twice in a weekend visit!”
“We had an awkward situation where we came in one of the three options of entrances and had no idea what to do. We grabbed a bowl, filled it, and watched it get cooked. When I went to ask the bar for water we found out that we were supposed to check in somewhere and wait to be seated. Super awkward and weird. The bartender wouldn’t even give us water until we sat down to a table. My husband went to pay at the front and they wouldn’t even take our money until we sat at a table and had a server. They said this has never happened before, but there were 3 separate entrances so I find that hard to believe. We sat, we waited, our server (who had to do nothing) was awesome. The chef was great. The food was delicious. So 5 stars despite the awkward bartender and hostess.”
“Everytime I'm in Tahoe, I try to hit up this place at least once! The food is very fulfilling and tastes better than most of the bay area Indian restaurants because the owners Viral and his wife Palak have themselves created the home made recipe. The Naans are super soft and tasty. Exactly the kinda food you need after a long day of ski or a hike! Trust the chefs recommendations because they are def the best! Regardless of how much you spend on food, you'll be treated like a family member and made sure that you're well fed and happy. I love this place!”

“I would recommend their pulled pork nachos, if you are hungry, or you to share. Very good. Their beef brisket was a little lean/dry for me, but has good flavor. The good news they have 4 different sauces that can be applied to the brisket if required. Their sides were flavor full and reasonable sized. Not huge, but more than most BBQ places. If back in town sometime in the future, I would definitely come back.Parking: There are limited spaces for a place this size, so parking could be challenging during busy times.”
Takeout Restaurants
“I ordered a traditional breakfast and it was tasty. I loved the wheat toast - probably my favorite thing on my plate. With the high reviews I was expecting more of a wow experience but that didn’t happen. I would go back if I am in the area again.”
“AWESOME food, service and cool restaurant! Had the salmon encased with lobster yesterday and it was Phenomenal! No less than 5 Stars-we go every time we are in Tahoe!”
“This place has outstanding Pizza and an awesome selection of beers ?. Always was 2nd to Lake Tahoe Pizza Company, BUT NOT ANYMORE.NEW CHAMP IN TOWN. Can't beat a slice and a brew. Pool tables are a bonus. Best vibe in South Lake Tahoe.Thanks guys!!”
“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”
“I got the Shot in the Dark with half and half, oh my gosh it was soooo good! My boyfriend got the cold brew and liked it as well. I think we'll stop by before we head out of town in the morning to get it again. It's located inside the diner. Cute atmosphere and friendly staff!”
“We were in town for three days and ate here for breakfast every morning. In fact, we come here every time we are in town. The service is always exceptional and there everything we order tastes so good. I highly recommend the eggs benedict.”

“Best game burgers I've ever had. Actually cook meet to order, good luck finding that in any other walk up burger joint. Lots of good fixings and beer to boot. Go grab a burger!”
“So satisfied with our time here. We were approached and seated immediately. Complimentary chips and salsa were delicious and brought out quickly after being seated. Food was served pretty fast and was SO GOOD! Prices are fair for the portions and *especially* for the taste. Our server, Andy, was very pleasant. The horchata was delicious - no refill but it was in a huge glass so I'm not complaining.”
“Picked up food for my family, the buffet that you can choose from looked great. Everything looked like it was just cooked. Combos are super big, you could definitely feed two if you ordered just one combo. Always friendly and fast.Parking: Parking lot isn't the best. Tons of pot holes.”
“Note: The sign at the front says Jalisco Taqueria, but I was told it is the same. Had the pozole and two tacos(al pastor, carnitas). The tacos were great. They give you a side of onions, radishes, and lime. Most places I've been before also give you cilantro, but not here. The pozole was not spicy, but they gave me some hot sauce to add, smoky chipotle, I think. Once I added it, it was spicy enough for me. It had a LOT of meat. The bowl wasn't as big as in other places, but for the price, I think it was reasonable. I would recommend this place, as long as you are not expecting a fancy place. BTW, it's now open on Mondays, too.”
“Favorite place to gather with friends and family especially on trivia night their food including get red pizza absolutely delicious. The beer on house is absolutely yummy. Will be going there every single Thursday that I'm in Tahoe.”
“Naked Fish in Lake Tahoe has garnered quite the reputation, but my experience was somewhat underwhelming. While the sushi is decent, it doesn't quite live up to the hype. The main downside is the long waits, coupled with the fact that the place is quite tiny, which can make for a cramped dining experience. If you're willing to wait and don't mind the cozy atmosphere, it's worth a visit, but don't expect anything mind-blowing.”
“A hidden Gem ... the food is great and piping Hot when it is served. The dinner portions are big, for lunch they give you soup & egg roll, along with the entree you choose. You have an option to choose rice or chow mein with your entree. Lunch portions are also generous.”
“If you are looking to experience a true locals spot, this is IT!Visited from out of town and was called by the house made Chai and was not disappointed! Perfect balance of an earthy sweetness and spice. Absolutely unreal. If you like overly sweet chai from syrups and powders, this ain't your spot. Spaces like this are what make a place/community and I could not have had a better experience. Lotta love put in to this small but mighty spot. Stopped three times in 2 days. Highly recommend and look forward to a return back!”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Consistently the best place to grab fast food since I’ve lived in Tahoe. The staff here has been outstanding that whole time as well, always super nice, professional, clean, they go way above and beyond, all the good things. I also don’t think they have ever gotten my order wrong! It’s always a pleasure to go there”
“Food! Amazing! Service? Absolutely fantastic! It's like they're trying to be the best McDonald's around!! Thanks guys! Don't let mean comments let ya down”
“Wish they can stay open longer went in for their new fire tacos an food was great but service was not good I understand it was almost to closing got their 30min before closing but like I say I understand the workers probably already wanted to leave I didn't get to order their new pumpkin shake ?..but I will be going back on my days off to get their early”
“Eat here at least 3x a week for past 3 months. Portion size heavily dependent on server. Limited selections. Delicious food!Overall reliable, some of the staff are absolute angels.The fried rice is absolutely atrocious at times tho.”
“We love Primos -- the food, service (Salvador is great), and cozy atmosphere. We had the Ricotta Gnudi -- amazing!!!; mussels -- great quality, quantity & tasty broth with grilled bread; Caesar salad; octopus and scallops. All the courses were timed to come out exactly as we requested. And their Negronis and Paper Planes are perfectly mixed. Always recommend this restaurant to any of our friends!”
“Excellent Thai restaurant in South Lake Tahoe! Right when you walk in you notice the Thai-inspired ambiance that gets you excited for the meal ahead. Food Rundown: Hangover Udon with Pork - Pretty epic mix of flavors and a very hearty portion. Chicken Pad Thai: Classic sweet flavor, feel free to ask for it a little spicier to offset the sweetness. Panang Curry with Brown Rice: My favorite dish of the three. Deep curry flavor that we couldn't get enough of. Pro Tip: Ask you server for additional sauces to get a sampling of pickled jalapeño, peppers, and other way to add some kick your dish. My only critique is that the 4 person table my group sat at was a little too snug so try to size up on the table if you can.”
“Nice little Gem in SLT. Great pasta and sauce, handmade pasta takes the dish to another level and is worth the price point. Was confused by the name but hey, I'm no restaurateur. Lots of room for kids/wheelchairs/strollers. In a nice little shopping center with other options as well.”
Cheap Eats
“Love the Red Hut waffle restaurant. Friendly, attentive staff! Great waffles! Will become a regular breakfast spot, when in South Lake Tahoe.”
“Cute little coffee shop that has some small eats. Go by there and write your dicho on the wall! Great tasting coffee, cool staff, very low key location with tons of parking”
“Honestly one of my favorite ice cream shops I've tried so far. I ordered the hazelnut ice cream and it was super nutty and rich in flavor- highly recommend. The service was quick and friendly and a lot of cute outdoor seating for you to enjoy with friends!”
“We stayed within walking distance during a stay in South Lake Tahoe. I went every morning for coffee and breakfast! The golden milk latte was great. The avocado toast is something I will be trying to recreate at home because it was that good. This space is inside of the hotel and was pretty easy to find.”
“My middle name is Heidi so I might be biased. Fun place, excellent waitress, grumpy cashier and confused hostess. We came in early a Friday morning. Food was good. A small side pancake turned out to be pretty big. Sadly no fresh fruit in ”
“Quaint little phó place, and the phó is sooo good and the staff very friendly and efficient. I haven't gotten more smiles than i did here. The broth is savory, and one can taste the spices used in the broth. I just wished i asked for more cilantro and I'm good for life! ☺️Order the coconut. It tastes wonderful and refreshing after a day by the lake!”
“While spending the weekend in South Lake Tahoe, my son, DIL and I decided to give this quaint pint size café a try. We ordered the crêpes. Although we were not thrilled about the styrofoam plates and plastic utensils, the food was scrumptious!”
“Nice place, we were well taken care of. We ordered the vegetarian burrito and the vegan sandwich.They have vegan cheese and beyond meat so it would be nice if there was a sandwich and a burrito that was completely vegan on the menu. The only vegan option at the moment is the vegetable sandwich (in the photo) which is tasty but not enough for those who are hungry.My suggestion is keep the vegetable sandwich on the menu but add some vegan options using cheese and vegan meat”
“Home run! Just like the tacos I get back home in Texas. Off the beaten path and away from all the tourist traps full of boring chain restaurant food. Picnic tables to eat outside. Spicy, delicious green salsa. Tender asada, lengua and carnitas. Very, very good.”
“Really cute local Boba Tea spot. I personally got the Fire Bear Coffee, which I had no idea what it was fully before I got it.. other than the fact that coffee anything is usually good. But... wow! It was a delicious 4 shot espresso with Boba and torched cream cheese on top. With some drizzle/spice. It was so delicious.Great location, great service, great drink, and a cute store. There was even a little section with Legos you could put on the wall and make your own art. I will definitely be back the next time I get out to Tahoe!”
“Big Daddys was a recommendation from our concierge. It did not disappoint. We were with our grandsons and loved it. Freshly made food at a very good price. We will definitely return and highly recommend it. The staff were very friendly. They do a great job.”
“Fantastic healthy food joint. Loved their juices, smoothie, sandwiches and burritos.My kid loved his healthy hibiscus lemon pop made with organic ingredients.”
“Honestly, some of the best Mexican food I have had... The Pambazo is a hidden gem. The bake their bread fresh and make the food from scratch. I wish I could take this place home with me lol.”
“We liked the food here so much that we remembered it from a previous trip and made a point of returning. If it is cold outside be prepared to be cold. This is good food but not a dining experience.”
“My neck of the woods does not have sushi, but being up here ( in Tahoe) on our anniversary I believe we found a “diamond in the ruff” food was amazing, staff was beyond friendly all around great atmosphere!”
“This place deserves a higher star rating overall. The service was impeccable. I asked a lot of questions and got the right answers. Normally, I don't order much fried food, but I couldn't resist tempura fried veggies with peanut sauce. It was delicious and there was plenty. There were plenty of vegan options on the menu, which I really appreciated. They gave me a vegan dessert, which I got for take out... totally delicious!Vegetarian options: Lots of clearly marked vegan selections!”
“We booked Flour Girl Wedding Cakes in October 2022 for our January 2024 Tahoe wedding! The most important thing to my husband was that our wedding cake actually taste GOOD- and Flour Girl waaaay more than exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful and a culinary masterpiece, and we had so much fun doing a wedding cake tasting and choosing all of our favorite flavors! We ended up doing a different combination of cake and icing and filling for each of our three tiers, then had several smaller half/quarter sheet cakes available to serve to wedding guests to make sure we had enough food for everyone. The cake was incredible, and whatever didn't get consumed by guests the night of our wedding was immediately finished at our morning after brunch the next day! They were so great to work with, delivered our cakes on time the morning of our wedding all the way to Tahoe City on a snowy winter weekend, and created a masterpiece of a wedding cake that was exactly what I had imagined. Thank you Flour Girl!!”
“We stayed in an indie king room with the bunk beds. The location can't be beat and the food (breakfast, beer garden) is quite good compared to other offerings in the area and convenient. The restaurants our particular weekend all filled up early. The kids enjoyed the hot tub and s'mores firepit. There was a wedding one night, but the hotel shut it down right at 10pm so it was quiet, and we were on the side directly above the beer garden. Biggest downsides is the walls are thin (the lady next door fell asleep with the tv on) and the heater is very loud / or not that strong. But we were there in fall so maybe it's stronger in the winter.”
“Lake Tahoe cakes is FANTASTIC. I cannot recommend them enough. They were extremely responsive, professional, and helpful. We didn’t have a tasting beforehand for our wedding cake, but we knew it would be perfect. The cake was absolutely beautiful, and tasted even better than we could have imagined. My brother, who never eats/likes desserts, had a full slice of cake and raved about it. The cake was reasonably priced and could not have been more perfect. Highly recommend!!”
“Great place to chill after a day on the mountain. Came here last year as well and will every time I visit. The area outside is really nice with fires, live music, and people watching. Food is great- had the Californian (delicious) with a side salad (good portion) and the hot Toddy (warm & yummy). Also close to Heavenly square and tons of shops/ things to do. Park at Safeway.”

“Love this place. Best coffee near the Y. Great place to get some work done or find a unique gift for someone.Renting the conference room for work events is super easy. We've hosted work meetings there; great to be able to order coffee/drinks/food to make everyone comfortable.”
“My middle name is Heidi so I might be biased. Fun place, excellent waitress, grumpy cashier and confused hostess. We came in early a Friday morning. Food was good. A small side pancake turned out to be pretty big. Sadly no fresh fruit in ”
“Quaint little phó place, and the phó is sooo good and the staff very friendly and efficient. I haven't gotten more smiles than i did here. The broth is savory, and one can taste the spices used in the broth. I just wished i asked for more cilantro and I'm good for life! ☺️Order the coconut. It tastes wonderful and refreshing after a day by the lake!”
“We had an awkward situation where we came in one of the three options of entrances and had no idea what to do. We grabbed a bowl, filled it, and watched it get cooked. When I went to ask the bar for water we found out that we were supposed to check in somewhere and wait to be seated. Super awkward and weird. The bartender wouldn’t even give us water until we sat down to a table. My husband went to pay at the front and they wouldn’t even take our money until we sat at a table and had a server. They said this has never happened before, but there were 3 separate entrances so I find that hard to believe. We sat, we waited, our server (who had to do nothing) was awesome. The chef was great. The food was delicious. So 5 stars despite the awkward bartender and hostess.”

“Best game burgers I've ever had. Actually cook meet to order, good luck finding that in any other walk up burger joint. Lots of good fixings and beer to boot. Go grab a burger!”

Good selection of drinks.Dietary restrictions: Great vegi only selection. Lots of GF if you leave out the pita bread.”
“So satisfied with our time here. We were approached and seated immediately. Complimentary chips and salsa were delicious and brought out quickly after being seated. Food was served pretty fast and was SO GOOD! Prices are fair for the portions and *especially* for the taste. Our server, Andy, was very pleasant. The horchata was delicious - no refill but it was in a huge glass so I'm not complaining.”
“Visited on a Monday morning. The hostess had an attitude going; definitely not the kind of person I'd put at the front of my restaurant.Fortunately, it was uphill from there. Our server was attentive and he made sure we had what we needed. Food was good, portions were generous, and the kitchen accommodated a request we had. Restaurant is large, clean, and has a fun ambiance.”
“Really cute local Boba Tea spot. I personally got the Fire Bear Coffee, which I had no idea what it was fully before I got it.. other than the fact that coffee anything is usually good. But... wow! It was a delicious 4 shot espresso with Boba and torched cream cheese on top. With some drizzle/spice. It was so delicious.Great location, great service, great drink, and a cute store. There was even a little section with Legos you could put on the wall and make your own art. I will definitely be back the next time I get out to Tahoe!”
“we were waiting for our food for kind of a while, and half of our party's food came out a whole 15 minutes before everyone else's. however, they gave us a discount as an apology for the wait, and when the food did come out, it was actually quite good. nice, comfy vibe inside too.”
