    Veggie burger and fries with a non alcoholic Blue Moon
    Brittanie R.

    I was staying next door at the lodge. It was superbowl Sunday, so I decided to pop into the tavern to watch a bit of the game and eat. I was incredibly hungry from my long drive. They had non alcoholic BlueMoon which was really cool. They had about 4 total non alcoholic beers, the rest were IPAs, not my taste, but cool they have them! I asked if they had veggie patties and they did! So I got a veggie burger with fries. It was really delicious. The bun was good and warm and the fries were season really well. The bartenders were super kind, social and overall welcoming! I would definitely go back next time I am in Markleeville Parking free and plenty, lot's of seating inside also.

    Brisket nachos

    Really cool country tavern. Nice micro brews on tap and excellent food. Was really busy when we walked in. Ordered a beer and our food and decided to sit on the back patio to eat. They said they would bring us our food. Well, they forgot to put our order in! We ordered fish and chips and some brisket nachos. Both were very delicious and to top it off, it was comped due to them forgetting to put our order in. Winning! On top of that they gave us another round of drinks on the house. Will definitely stop in again at another time if ever in Markleeville. We tipped as if we paid for the full meal and great service otherwise.

    I was here!!

    Well we returned here on a 225 mile motorcycle ride today across Sonora and Monitor Passes. Like the old Cutthroat (pre owner change) we found the service exemplary. Our server was awesome. I'm a wing nut so I ordered the buffalo wings along with the fried pickles. The wings were great, extra crispy as I ordered and sauced well. Cooked perfectly, moist on the inside with that crispy skin that's a must. The pickles are 1/4 sliced and breaded but not too thick of breading. Fried to a light golden tan the pickles were juicy and tasty. I am so happy they are open again as it's a biker destination for decades and now the legend continues. Best of luck to the new owners. Opening up new always takes time to get things dialed in but today ran smooth and we'll 100% be back. 5 stars today!

    Super friendly staff, family run. Had some great bbq while listening to a bluegrass band. The place is tastefully renovated to be family friendly. Full of friendly locals. The owners told us about the history of the place. Will be back.

    Fish and Chips
    Jen V.

    We had already eaten lunch, but my husband's bike group decided to stop by Cutthroat Tavern to relax and plan their upcoming ride. I shared a fish and chips with my husband--crispy, tasty, and just right for a light bite. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were genuinely warm and attentive. A great local spot to unwind, catch up, and fuel up--whether you're biking through or just passing by.

    Single cheeseburger with fries
    Ted R.

    Went here after hearing it reopened. Looks like it's going pretty good here. Very crowded for lunch today but had a full staff working. I had the fish and chips. Large pieces of really good fish with potato wedges for fries. Comes also with cole slaw. Huge portion and should have split with my wife. She had the single cheeseburger medium rare. The patty could have been a little larger. However they offered a double burger for just $3 more. Hoping for all to go good and keep this landmark open and alive again. FYI full bar liquor license available now.

    The most amazing place to visit!!! She let me dance on the bar!!! She was tentative and welcoming!!! Amazing food!!! The bathrooms are very clean and the local judge was awesome!!!

    Awesome place to stop at for drinks and food. Service and locals were great to hang out with.

    Sorry for the presentation was too good.

He mentioned they had an outdoor firepit and thought I would like it. When we were deciding on dinner, I said we should finally check it out. We walked in and sat ourselves at a high top. It's a combo of go up to the cash register and order plus a server will come and help you out while they deliver the food. Overall food wise, I thought everything was fine. The dip was cheesy. The peppers a little too salty. The salad fulfilled that green craving tho I found the dressing and cheese a lil too heavy handed. And the soup was the comfort I needed on a cold day. I found the fish to be a little heavier in batter than I prefer, but I like most things very lightly battered. The cocktail I got was nice. Balanced and refreshing. Their sangria was on tap, so they just filled up the glass. I did enjoy going outside after we were done eating to hang out around the firepit. Ran into another party of people and we chatted for a bit. We actually brought our drinks outside to enjoy as It was quite chilly that evening. Food was fine. Cocktails were nice. Definitely would go back for the outdoor firepit. REVIEW #3970

My personal liking was the citrus vodka. Our visit did not extend for longer than a couple hours in the Southlake Tahoe area.
