It's so much fun watching the rafters launch or float, it makes for the perfect afternoon. The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which is one of the reasons we keep coming back. On this visit, we ordered the Moscow Mules, and they were absolutely delicious and definitely packed a punch! They were worth every penny. The food is excellent too, making it a great place for lunch or simply drinks and appetizers. If you enjoy soaking up the sunshine, the outdoor deck is the perfect spot. Our favorite seats are at the corner of the outdoor bar, where you get a fantastic view of the river and can watch all the activity on the water while sipping your cocktails.

She was awesome in guiding me on ordering and even checking on how I was doing throughout my entire time there! GREAT customer service that had me feeling like I was at home! The BARBECUE PLATE -1/2 RACK OF PORK RIBS (6 BONES) comes with one side and a chunk of cornbread. The ribs were cooked perfectly and they were good sized too! I LOVED the HOWLIN' BOLD & SPICY sauce! FIRE! The side I chose was the KICKED-UP SLAW which was crisp and fresh. I topped the cornbread with a little butter and honey and it was eaten all up. The POTATO SALAD was another on point side. BEST. BBQ PLATE. EVER for me in RENO! *I split this with a person and it was a good portion where you won't be put in a food coma hahaha Will be back again and get a full rack of pork ribs! Hahaha *The place is small with limited seats but it's worth it! The staff clears and cleans the tables once people are done eating to have it set for the next customer.

Structurally complete but lacking in execution, this is the combo plate of three slices of brisket, three ribs and two sides (mac and cheese and BBQ beans). Brisket is extremely tender, but very under-seasoned and ribs do not have the expected "fall-off-the-bone" texture. It's not the worst, but it's a ordinary choice and nearly as bad as the great competitor that is in the neighborhood.

Sysco/Aramark must be the supplier now, because the quality was not the Truckee Tavern we remember from years back. Their food used to be high end (and worth it) but now ingredients and kitchen are producing Applebees level dishes for high prices. If costs are the issue, serve better ingredients cooked with love and expertise, in smaller portions. Also, dear manager - on a night where seating is 50% cap or less, no one should ever have to wait at the host stand for 10 minutes to be seated.

They feel like an important staple to a local community. But also, it feels like customer service is often not prioritized anymore either. I would definitely shop here more. There are a few shelves with some products. It's a small space but I think it would be cool if there were more sauces and rubs or sides or even some cheeses.

Delicious food and warm and friendly people!…read more Had dinner here tonight. Ordered a beet salad, meat lovers pizza and a flight of beer tastings (4 flavors) First off the Server was wonderful! Very warm and very friendly to talk with. She was always checking on me to make sure my water glass was full and how b my meal was. Super nice person!! The beet salad is "To Die For!" The dressing on this fabulous! So tasty it's addicting! The beets, candied walnuts and cheese mixed with the arugula was such a fantastic and delicious combo! I'd drive 4 hours just for this salad! The all meat pizza is delicious! The tangy tomato sauce is a very welcomed change of flavor when compared to other pizzas. The sour dough crust is a welcome change too! Very tasty with the tasty meat toppings! The beer flight I had was delicious! I liked the first one a lot! I'm not a very big drinker but I liked the first one. The stout is very delicious too with a fairly strong coffee flavor. All the beers were very yummy! Great ambiance to just hang out all day or night long passing the day drinking tasty beer and eating delicious food! Please see the pictures below and let your eyes do the feasting!!

GREAT: wings, fries, beet salad NOT GREAT: Fish and chips (they're fish sticks) chicken parm sandwich (they're chicken tenders), pizza (sure is a pretty pizza oven though) Also, the dining room is small, and too often the setting for employee drama played out in full view of customers. Maybe schedule a team meeting and hash it out there? Things don't usually improve when the employees are more self-involved than they are concerned about customers. That's not why we visit.

It's located at the peak of the mountain at Northstar California Resort, which is a nice setting and looked like a really nice spot for lunch during our ski day. When we arrived for lunch between 1:30 and 2:00 PM on a Saturday, we wanted to get in pine but the restaurant employee in the end of the line told us that those are the past people ordering and the kitchen will close now. According to their posted hours, they officially open until 3:00 PM, so I really did not expect the kitchen to be closed that early on a busy weekend afternoon at a ski resort. It was extremely frustrating and honestly disappointing -- especially after planning for it and being excited to try the food. We didn't even get the chance to order anything. Maybe the food is great, but if the kitchen closes this early on a Saturday, that should be communicated more clearly. As it was, it completely missed expectations.

There are a lot of chairs to lounge in outside on the snow as well as some seating inside at family style tables. Ordering food is easy to do, just have your Epic Pass available to scan (either a hard copy, or use the app on your phone) to get the 20% discount. The bar has a decent selection of drinks and they can make you a great cocktail for loosening up after shredding some black diamond runs on the backside. I ordered brisket loaded tots, and they were topped with brisket, coleslaw, and BBQ sauce. On the table was some more sauce if you want to sweeten it up some more.

Very friendly hostess and attentive and outgoing bartender. The food came out quickly and the pork sandwich was huge! I had to take half home.

My wife and I split a flight of four 5-ounce pours, which enabled us to try a brand range of types. - Comfortable, relaxed vibe with a great playlist.
