    Brisket nachos
    Scott M.

    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!

    Fish taco with little fish on it

    We and our friends went to Cutthroat tavern and got a appetizer of pretzel bites and an entrée of chicken tenders and fish tacos. The chicken tenders were burnt and dry. When we got the fish tacos there were literally 2 inches of fish on it so I do not recommend going here. As a customer who has been here a lot of time very disappointing.

    Fish and Chips

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

Shedcat was found, yep, in the shed Hannah was our waitress. It appeared to be a quiet day as when we walked in, we were the only patrons. Our meal was made up of fried brussels sprouts, grilled artichoke hearts and a pastrami sandwich. The food is prepared and made to order so it was delivered to us nice warm and freshly made. Scott, my dining partner, tried one of the IPAs on tap. I on the other hand tried their distilled vodka. They have two varieties one is a regular distilled vodka and the other is citrus. My personal liking was the citrus vodka. Our visit did not extend for longer than a couple hours in the Southlake Tahoe area. But if it did I do understand they have entertainment on Friday evenings along with many other events. Footnote! Love the pictures around the establishment, full of cats #cats #shedcatdistillery #southlaketahoe #flyforfun #flyforfood

The decor/ambiance is excellent albeit maybe a little over-the-top but on the ground floor on the corner of a busy street it lacks any kind of special view. The drinks and food surprised me, they were actually pretty decent! Nothing absolutely incredible but for example the creamy vegetable risotto was some of the best risotto I've ever had. Pasta dish was overcooked (but what us Americans are used to.) Like most any restaurant, your mileage may vary depending on what specific menu items you choose. Service was excellent and the food prices are very reasonable FOR SOUTH LAKE TAHOE CASINO HOTEL DINING (many entrees under $30 -- cocktails are overpriced in general, low-mid $20's which is typical for high-end casino hotel craft cocktails.) This is a strong/high 4 stars. 5 stars if I let the designer decor, celebrity branding, or vacation/special occasion splurge mentality bias my judgment on the cuisine level and/or profit center cocktail prices.

It was dark and elegant. The attention to details were amazing. The service was outstanding by Camilla and her assistant. They checked on us frequently and refilled our waters. I was very thirsty.... lol. We ordered two mocktails... Berry Sexy and Emerald Bay. They were colorful and tasted refreshing. We started off with the OUTSTANDING Signature Wolf Bread with honey butter appetizer. It was soft, warm and delicious. It was so good that I ordered one to-go. My entree was their filet mignon with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies. The steak was cooked to perfection. I enjoyed the mashed potatoes. However, the roasted veggies were bland and undercooked. My sister ordered the salmon with risotto. She enjoyed it. Reservations are highly recommended.
