    Pretty good brunch spot. They were popular on a Memorial Day holiday - we waited 20 mins for an…read moreoutside table. Good varied menu. They have all the classic brunch items. We ordered huevos rancheros which was really good. It came with tortilla chips and that really helped. Also they gave an entire avocado! Half inside , half outside. The staff was attentive. The only downside is it's next to an Amtrak railway (hence the name). We had a sleeping toddler in the stroller and the loud bursts of the horn woke her up. Plus side is you can watch the train go by.

    I have been here before and thought the food was good so I didn't hesitate to recommend this to my…read morehusband for dinner one night- granted I had been here about 25 years ago prior. Love the idea of this place, it was quiet and had the place to ourselves it seemed. The service was fantastic! But the food fell a little short of our expectations! The banana milkshake was great. The burgers were good according to my husband and son but the BLT was such a disappointment and the onion rings had burned bits all in the bottom of the tray. I don't like their "plates"- not sure how they clean and maintain the cutting board they serve the food on but seems like a breeding ground for bacteria? Just not a fan. I was hoping after being on Diners Drive-ins and Dives that the quality should be there, even something as simple and basic as a BLT should be stellar or just take it off of the menu. Sadly I won't be coming back- prices were high for the quality.

    I recently went to Truckee and tried Old Town Tap. We got there and found spots at the bar really…read morefast. They were playing one of the soccer games on the TVs, which was fun to watch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's actually pretty spacious inside. We did have to wait a little bit to get a menu, but once we got one, we ordered our drinks and food. We got the Margherita pizza, and it was SO good! I loved how crispy the crust was. When you picked up a slice, it didn't just flop over. It stayed nice and crispy. It had so much flavor, and I was seriously so happy with it. I also got the Help Wanted drink, and it was really good too. I think I found my new favorite pizza spot! If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'm already planning to go back so I can try more of their pizzas and appetizers!

    Old Town Tap used to be one of my favorite places to stop whenever I was in Truckee, but the last…read moretwo visits have been a disappointment. The quality of the food, and the care that used to go into preparing and presenting it, has completely fallen off a cliff. During my most recent visit this week I noticed that much of the kitchen staff seemed to be different from the team I've seen over the past few years. The pizza was genuinely disappointing. The crust lacked flavor, the toppings were sparse and it felt like something that had been rushed out of the kitchen with little attention to detail. Even the presentation was careless, which was surprising because this restaurant used to take pride in what they served. It's frustrating to see a place that I used to recommend decline this much. I really hope the upper management takes a look at what's happening to the restaurant because the Old Town Tap I used to enjoy no longer seems to exist.

    We stopped in here after checking a nearby breakfast place but it had a wait time of over 40…read moreminutes. Here we were able to walk in and be seated immediately so we stayed. We ordered the breakfast special, portions were large, I ordered 1/2 waffle, an egg and hash browns I was surprised with two eggs on my plate. My husband ordered the breakfast special as well you can choose three items he went with biscuits and gravy, pancakes and bacon. Our food was fresh made and arrived quickly, great friendly service! We overheard its a family business owned and operated by three families over the years. They had a table with fresh baked pastries they looked delicious. They have quite a bit of outdoor and indoor seating especially compared to the other places we walked by that only had a couple of outdoor tables. It is an older place but we enjoyed our experience. They had nice large coffee cup decor that is fitting with the name. They also had a variety of menu options, breakfast, burgers, Mexican food.

    This place is really cute and the signage definitely brought us in…read more My impression: eh. The place is very nostalgic feeling, was clean and all the tables were set. The staff was speaking amongst themselves when we walked in and it felt like we were a bit of a crowd in there. The menu was fairly straight forward. Got a Denver omelet. It was ok. My partner got the triple meat omelet and it was definitely the better of the two omelets. I wanted to try the coffee but it was quite bitter, so I'm glad I passed. Overall I eat out for wow factor and experiences. This is just a place to eat. I thought it was extremely expensive for two people eating breakfast it was well over $50.
