Stopped by here before rafting one day stopped by here another day on an 18 mile bike ride. There was no outdoor seating available, but we were able to order at the bar and ate on many available benches and tables. Fast service for food and drinks. Had an easy place to park our bikes and then continue on. Its a great spot to visit.

Friendly local bar and restaurant. We had the chili cheeseburger and shrimp tacos with an addon of avocado. The chili on the cheeseburger included beans with a very light, sweet taste. Being from Texas, this was different and tasted great. The shrimp tacos were also great.

Our waiter was real chill and laid back when taking our orders but was quick with everything. I ordered the Buffalo Burger and added Blue Cheese. The meat came out a perfect medium. The onion rings were a hit as well.

This is a nice spot open in middle of the afternoon. Close to a Tesla supercharger and the Tahoe dam. Portion of food was generous. And the taste was fresh and good. I recommend this place.
