    Came here for a quick lunch since we were staying nearby and could walk here. There's not many options on the north shore but we weren't very hungry so opted for something simple. I ended up getting the the big kahuna chicken salad with pineapple and grilled teriyaki chicken. The salad itself was big and pretty filling. I enjoyed the canned pineapple for sweetness but the chicken was dry and the texture was similar to the already prepared chicken you can buy at grocery stores. The chicken was also too salty and the sauce was more just soy sauce than teriyaki and it wasn't sweet at all. Overall not a bad meal considering there's not a lot of eat around but I wouldn't choose to come again. We did get the local ice cream afterwards as well which was a nice treat. The banana chocolate chip was yummy and pretty light.

    Hands down, BEST BURGER on Lake Tahoe ! We stopped in to get the kids some pizza and decided to stay and eat on the dog friendly patio. What a treat. We'll see ya'll again soon

    Amazing chicken and bread on the club sandwich, and super friendly owner! Casual place with quality food

    Pretty okay pizza. This is a medium and it was really big! Fed a family of 3 plus some leftovers, however it was $32. I think it was because we got a half and half. We got thick crust- it seemed overcooked and was really dry and crunchy. Placed a to go order and it was ready in about 35 minutes.

    Ribs

    Someone recommended this place to us and we really enjoyed the food! They smoke their own ribs and wings, and even make their own ranch-soooo good! Our waiter was very friendly and the restaurant is so close to the lake! Highly recommend

    We were at cbs today (food and service, outstanding as usual) and saw something that makes me cringe a little. Zack, the amazing owner, got stiffed by some young kids on $100 tab. Such a bummer to see locals getting the short end from entitled people. We will pick up the slack for Zack because he works so hard for us.y

    Food was good but service was not. Let's start with the atmosphere of the restaurant. Prepare to be HOT. They had ceilings fans on but man, was it frigid inside and unfortunately they only have 2 small patio tables. You can either order online by scanning the QR code on the tables or walk up to the register and order. My husband and I opted to walk up and the young boy behind the counter did his best. Lol The food took forever to come out. Atleast 45 mins and even so, no one checked in with us. Told us it was coming soon. Nothing. We didn't get any employee interactions until the food was delivered and nothing after either. My friend and I shared a medium pizza, half meat lovers and half California classic. The thick crust was pretty thick and the pizza was loaded. Flavors were good. We also enjoyed their wings. My husband had the chicken strips and said they were good but fries were soggy. Our other friend had the chicken parmesan pasta. He enjoyed it but the portion was pretty small. The place is great because it's so close to the launching/water areas but it's incredibly hot, small and slow. With all the other pizza spots in the area, I don't think I'd come back.

    Ate here last night. Just ok. Had the sundried tomato garlic pizza. Way too much garlic. Just didn't taste that good at all.

Inside seating was mainly stools along the front window with excellent views of the trees and water. I really liked that there was a central coat tree where you could hang your heavy coat, especially with the limited seating. Some tables outside as well for sunny days. Interesting menu that blends standard breakfast with some healthier add-ins like quinoa instead of rice. Food tasted fresh, supporting their goal to serve natural, organic, and local ingredients. I opted for the Sunrise Sliders, and had no complaints. I particularly liked that the pretzel buns weren't too dense and didn't overwhelm the other ingredients. I was given the option to add pesto, and it added great texture and flavor. Great showcasing of local products like bagels from Tahoe Bagel Co. and Blind Dog Coffee.

The interior is nice and cozy (and warm), with light reggae music playing in the background. There're only two tables; the rest of the seating is VERY comfortable bar seating. With two walls of windows showing beautiful Lake Tahoe views--plenty of trees and the lake itself--there's plenty of morning light coming through. I was happy that they were serving smooth Laughing Dog coffee--a favorite. And the food came out quick and delicious, with a nice crisp on my burrito wrapper. The menu is limited, but what they do they do creatively and well--the quinoa in my burrito went great with the eggs, beans, and sausage, and they told my wife they were experimenting with their already creative pretzel bun sunrise sliders by adding pesto--a perfect extra optional touch for her.

I had planned on…read moregetting a breakfast sandwich and one of their specialty coffee drinks, but the line was so long and it would've taken so much longer to wait for those things that by the time I got to the front after waiting 25 minutes or so I just ordered things that I could take and run out the door with. The drip coffee was OK, not the best coffee I've ever had but the pastries were really good. We tried a veggie frittata, a maple bar, an iced lemon cookie, an iced oatmeal raisin cookie, and their yogurt parfait with fresh fruit. The doughnut was ridiculously good. The cookies were fantastic. The yogurt parfait was delicious with fresh homemade granola and peak of the season peaches and berries. My buddy said the frittata was excellent as well. So just a couple notes: there's only one person taking orders so the line moves very, very slow. If you are waiting in line, plan your order ahead of time so that when you get up to the front, you're not one of the idiot tourists standing there being a jackass, making it longer for everybody else because they didn't pay attention to the menu board or the pastry case before they got up to the front. That was the most irritating thing about this experience. One group had to bring their whole six kids in (even though they didn't let them order anything) they were just in the way and the people right after them did not plan and took forever to order. So be cognizant of other people around you and pay attention. It will make the entire line move faster. Plenty of seating out front, but not a ton of parking. Planning to try and go back and try some more pastries before I leave this week.

We went on a crowded summer Thursday night at 6:15 - without resys, and were able to be seated on a two seat bar top table. Not recommending you do that - call early in the day to make a reservation. Not a lot of table room on the bar top, but you'll enjoy it as you play chess with your glasses and dishes - come on, have some fun with your food! And don't forget, this is pizza - enjoy the ambiance, the locals, the summer set, and the families. All the staff were friendly and helpful, and our waitress was very attentive and made the rounds at the perfect time for refills. In a busy place, that is a monetarily rewarded skill! We ordered Jones bottled root beer - real sugar, strong root beer flavor - very nice. Your choice of crust can include GF, or the "regular" light, thin, lovely dough or "D" it up for Detroit style. If you're a mushroom and white sauce fan, Craft Mushroom is a meld of a silky white sauce and Gruyère, roasted maitake mushrooms, caramelized onion, roasted garlic, and a beautiful balsamic reduction that does not bite - but you will! The Vodka Pie had a smooth vodka sauce which paired so well with the sweet Italian sausage and spicy sausage - it's really nice when the sauce does not hijack the pizza but supports the main ingredients. If you're near King's Beach and have a pizza craving - Go!
