My brother and I saw this place on Yelp. When we arrived the ambiance was like a divey sports bar. We decided to go for it and I'm glad we did. I had the Gambler Steak Burger with garlic parmesan fries. My brother got the Blackened Salmon Ceasar Salad. I was surprised when the waiter said "good choice the salmon here is delicious". They have wild caught king salmon delivered twice a week. We split our food. The salmon was as good or better than any piece of salmon I have ever had. It melted in your mouth. My burger was cooked medium to perfection. Super juicey and delicious. Among the best burgers I have ever had no joke; they grind their own meat. The hand cut fries were really good too. Service is friendly and attentive. Great beer selection and plenty of TVs to catch the game you are after. We liked it so much that we went back and ordered the same dishes the next day and they were perfect again. They passed the consistency test. Yes two days in a row; thats how good it was. I looked at the bad reviews and it must have been off days for those bad experiences. read more

Wings are a 10 here. I personally like the XXX sauce, and recommend it if you can handle spice. Even if you can't, the wings themselves are just fundamentally perfect. They probably use corn starch instead of flour, because they aren't overly breaded. Shoutout to the prep workers there (whatup Zoe!), because the food is like crazy good, hot, and fast. For most of the food, they have this insane rotating grill that you can see from the street. Super cool operation Steak salad is a must as well. It's so refreshing! It's got a balsamic dressing, some bleu cheese, and either raisin or dried cranberry and maybe walnuts. I don't actually know because I shovel it down my throat lol. Burgers are the best in the area. Even their less popular items are very well done. Recently got a sausage and peppers sandwich that was as good as what I routinely make at home. Atmosphere is amazing. All the employees go above and beyond. I usually sit at the bar and play any of their video gambles. You win some, you tip extra, you leave happy. You lose some and get some beers on the house. I'll go there if I go to Nevada beaches, or if I want to catch a game. South Lake resident and I generally avoid stateline for it's crowds but I'll head up to Lucky Beaver just for the food. I'm assuming they do PPV MMA fights which is another excuse to show up going forward Shoutout to Bruno as well. Awesome bartender. There's also a few awesome gals who's names escape me at the moment. It's a super chill place while having a great vibe and energy The other patrons are just fun people, it's easy to have a conversation with the guy sitting next to you. It's a well known place but I think it's still a hidden gem amongst all that chaos lol. For a 24 hour place, it's very chill. Never had a bad experience. It's good for hanging out with friends but I wouldn't hesitate bringing my nieces and nephews and whole family there. Only critique is parking. They don't comp it, but all parking is paid now at the casinos, so it's no surprise, that's just the standard.. I think if you get in and out in less than an hour parking is free, so keep that in mind. You can also park further away at other free parking areas and walk. read more

Open 24/7! This dive bar serves up some pretty mean burgers. We needed a snack after our hike and Lucky Beaver was right down the street. Burgers are made to order and take about 15 minutes (stated on their menu). Our royal flush was juicy and had a good beefy taste. The ratio of beef patty:cheese:grilled onions:sautéed mushrooms:fresh veggie:bun was perfect. I couldn't really taste the horseradish aioli but did see it in there. We ordered medium (not the slightest bit pink) and wished we had gone with medium rare but it was still tasty. The tater tots were super crispy! Service was good. No parking validation. The first 45 minutes are free then it's $15 for up to 2 hours. I timed our visit and we would have barely made it out of there in 45. We ordered pretty quickly and didn't dilly dally once we got our food and asked for the check right away. read more

First time at Lucky Beaver Bar & Burger for dinner and we came right back for breakfast the next morning. The place has some of the best burgers I've ever had. It was dry aged and cooked perfectly. The blue cheese was the highlight and they loaded it for me. I got the avocado, lettuce and tomato on the side so it didn't clash with the blue cheese. The onion rings were also fried to perfection with a really good batter. And we enjoyed several tasty beers on draft. Service was excellent, and the vibes inside were cool. For breakfast I had the Steak and Egg burrito. I could have used more steak and less egg. But it was prepared as listed on the menu, 4 oz of steak and 3 eggs. But I noticed they have a steak and egg sandwich that I could probably convert to a burrito. And that one has 6 oz of steak and 2 eggs. I'll take it for that delicious steak. I had my burrito with a coffee, and we sat outside. Beautiful view of the mountains from the patio in the morning. Next time I'm in Tahoe, this is the place I'm eating again. read more

We spotted this place with their meats turning in the front window as the wonderful smell of burgers as we walked by for a concert at the event center. We remembered it and went to dinner here the next night. I guess they were voted best burger in the area for a few years. I shared with my date and it was just perfect. Loved they offered tater tots. Yes please. The burger was flavorful and cooked perfectly medium well. By nature this is a lively loud place. If you're looking for intimate close conversations this isn't the place. Just be aware of that. My date said we have one of these in Reno?! I had no clue! read more

Really good burger spot in Tahoe. Right down the street from Harrah's. Pretty big in door area with tons of high top tables and bar seating. The atmosphere is fun with music blasting (that may not be good for some though). The food was really good. We both got the Gambler. I got the Cajun fries and my husband got the Cajun tots. The Cajun seasoning is pretty spicy though. We liked it, but it was hot. The service left a little to be desired. The waitress was super busy. She forgot my water that I asked for. Typical bar service I guess. We would absolutely eat here again when we are in town. read more

After rolling into Caesar's Republic and getting settled in, it was time to get a nice meal somewhere close, non-chain, and fun. Lucky Beaver was one that our amazing and insightful driver, Max recommended for a GOOD burger! A very short walk took us there in no time. As soon as we walked it, the vibe I got was a mix of country, upbeat energy, friendly female server hospitality, and a level of authenticity that you can't fake. The GAMBLER medium rare was my signature burger of choice. Tangy/sweet BBQ sauce with an onion ring, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles.... you get the idea. My wife ordered the clam chowder and garlic bread...she wasn't that hungry. Oh yes... French fries! Our server was great! My beer was huge (see the pic). I forgot the name, but it was a local Tahoe pale ale! In Chicago, there are over 250+ local beer spots. So, I try to get a taste of the local craft brew when I travel if possible. A spirit of respect, discovery, and adventure. read more

The answer is, "YES!" The question is, "Should I eat here?" Recognized as being the best burger in South Lake Tahoe. There ambiance is bar/diner with a cool rotating grill as you enter. Service is good, and the food... well...let me tell you. Actually, you should just go and try it out yourself. The bigger the burger, the better the bite! read more

The only restaurant that's open 24/7 in South Lake Tahoe and a TRUE lifesaver for that Bronze burger is my go-to, you can't beat that garlic aioli Don't sleep on their clam chowder either!! Yes it's a bar with bar food, but I'd say it's better than your average bar food. Service is always on it with water. Can be super loud in here at nighttime [this review was written in connection with a Toast promotion] read more

I was in Tahoe for a few days for my daughter's dance competition and came here one afternoon for lunch. We got a burger and some wings. The wings were really good. They had several flavors that sounded really good, that I wanted to try. We went with half buffalo, and half Beaver sauce. The beaver sauce was really good. Next time I come back I will definitely try some of the other wing flavors. The burger and fries were really good too. Im not a big fry eater, but these fries were cooked and seasoned perfectly. Also as a bonus they have a really good ranch. I will definitely be back next time im in town. read more

Solid food spot. Everything I ordered was good for sports bar food. The burger was juicy and the wing flavors were very good. The only changes I would make are more consistent seasoning on the Cajun fries and less salty chili dog but I'm not sure if they can change anything about that. My fries were 90% plain with maybe a few covered in Cajun seasoning which was a bummer. The fries were a bit stale as well. The chili dog was extremely salty but the flavor itself was good. I knocked down 2 stars mostly due to service and how they run the place. They do not take down names when it's busy, they make you "stand in line" even though no one is actually standing in line and if two seats or space opens up to stand inside and it's cold outside, they still expect you to stand outside. None of it makes sense. It seemed very unorganized and every server had an irritated and bitchy attitude. They get things done quick there which is nice but it's not fun when everyone has resting bitch face and people keep trying to take your plates away while you're still eating. They gave me an extra plate to put my chicken wing bones and after I put 2 in there, they tried to collect the plate multiple times even though there was a plate of uneaten wings next to it. It's nice that they're 24/7. read more

We decided to grab a late night bite without the kids at this place after it was recommended to us. It did not disappoint! Friday night and we briefly waited for table and got seated quickly, put our drink order in before we decided on the jackpot burger with garlic Parmesan tots extra crispy & the blackened salmon Caesar. Prices were average as expected in resort area and portions were decent. The food was delicious! Let's just say the plates were cleaned at the end. Lol! Great music played from the juke box that customer can pay to play. Plenty of seating for gatherings seems like party of 4-6 would be doable. Only thing I would say is the $30 appetizer platter might not be worth it but everything was pretty great including service. I definitely would go back. 10/10 would recommend read more

Wow! Amazing late night eats! Didn't expect much from the outside and walking it the place was dimly lit and full of bar goers. Had a party of just under 10. Our server had half black and blonde hair and absolutely killed it as our waitress. She was on top of her game. Our waters and sodas were constantly being refilled. Empty plates taken away. All the little things. Went with the chili and split a Caesar salad (all about balance). My lady got the clam chowder and we also split some tater tots. We loved our dishes. Everything was delicious. Some family had got the sliders and I got one, Bomb!! Crazy to find out this place is open 24/7. Feeling like breakfast at the Lucky Beaver might be the move! read more

Heard good things about this place so we decided to give it a try since they were closeby. It was a busy Friday night so the wait was quite long. There were people waiting after us and they had to wait outside (it was very windy and cold)... i can't imagine what winter must've felt like if you had to wait outside. I ordered the hot hand burger, which was supposed to be spicy (i love spicy btw)...and it was pretty good. Love that it has a kick to it. They have a lot of sports TV/shows on so some people were just chillin watching tv even though they were done eating. I feel like this makes waiting longer for people trying to get in. Overall it was ok. I wouldn't wait in the cold for it though. read more

Lucky Beaver Bar and Burger was packed with patrons when we visited. It looks like a college hangout with all of the merchandise for sale, tons of framed pictures on the walls, and loud rock music blaring. Front of the house seated us immediately where there happened to be open tables in the outdoor dining area in the back of the restaurant. Hubby and I each ordered burgers. My $24 Platinum Signature, a 50-day aged steak burger with American cheese, thousand island dressing, and caramelized onions was life-altering delicious. Seriously, my burger was very juicy, flavorful, and amazing. Buns were tender but held up well against the 1/2 lb patty and toppings. The tater tots were fried perfectly and also delicious. Hubby's $19 Royal Flush burger with grilled onions and mushrooms with A1 sauce was also delicious. But you could definitely tell the difference in the meat patties. Service was great. Our drinks were refilled and our waitress was friendly. I can't wait to visit again. The only downside is having to pay for parking but that's more on Lake Tahoe and not Lucky Beaver. read more

Came here on a Friday night for food and drinks. Ordered their version of the old fashion and it was really good, but took maybe 15-20min to receive. We ordered food and also took another 30ish minutes to receive. My food was entirely the wrong order and had no flavor either way. My wife's food was as cold as my drink. Server also took forever to check in on us every time. I would not come back here if in town again at all. Having to go to Taco Bell to get something to eat. read more

4.8 overall! Great place for lunch during our first morning at South Lake Tahoe. Luckily we got in after only a 5-minute wait for a table as it was already busy at 11:00! I ordered a steak sandwich which is the best I've had in a long time. Steak was tender, full of flavor with the carmelized onions, pepperjack cheese and sautéed mushrooms. The ciabatta bread was also deliciously toasted and great. I would order this again! My hubby ordered a steak burrito that had eggs and avo in it and he loved it as well. Salsa it was served with was a nice touch. Barbara our server was very professional and caring and provided excellent customer service. Comfy place with big screens and sports playing on all of them. Solid and hearty food. Would definitely return. read more

Just rolled into South Lake Tahoe for a weekend getaway and stopped at Lucky Beaver for a late dinner. The place was packed, but we managed to get a table in the middle of the house without too much wait. Service was great -- they fixed a side mix-up right away, which I really appreciated. I went with the Jackpot Steak Burger, and it did not disappoint. Loaded up with all the good stuff and super satisfying after a long drive. Definitely one of those burgers that's messy in the best way. Beers on tap were cold and hit the spot while we waited for food. Overall, fun atmosphere, good food, and solid service. I'd definitely come back next time I'm visiting the area. read more

While visiting Lake Tahoe, we needed a spot for dinner and kept hearing about this bar and restaurant from everyone we were meeting. Conveniently, it was located right across from our hotel. The place was packed when we arrived, with a lively, fun atmosphere. People were drinking, chatting, and really enjoying themselves. It's much bigger inside than it looks from the outside. At first glance, it seemed like your typical bar food spot, so we weren't expecting anything too special. We ordered a mix of burgers, a couple of chicken Cobb salads, and a tower of onion rings. Since it was super busy, the food took a while to come out, but when it finally arrived, we were honestly surprised--the presentation was way better than expected, and everything looked great. The burgers were well-seasoned and delicious, and the salads were fresh and flavorful--definitely a standout. The only downside was the long wait and that a couple of the burgers were luke warm. If not for that, it would've been an easy 5-star experience. Overall, a solid spot with great food and a cool vibe. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Tahoe! read more

This was a surprisingly good place ! I've passed this bar many times but never had the desire to venture in purely because of the name. We finally decided to try it after someone recommended it to us. This dive bar has lots of character. There are tons of pictures to look at on the walls and a great spot up front to watch the bacon and burgers cooking away on a rotating grill. It was packed when we arrived but we snagged a table for two and were served right away by the friendly staff. There's a great selection of cocktails and beers and best of all an extensive burger menu. I tried the Gambler and it was delicious! Get the Parmesan garlic fries or the Cajun seasoned tater tots to go with your burger. The Cadillac Beaver cocktail paired nicely too! :) read more

We had that most amazing waiter with breakfast and family ... just amazing service ... thank you for your hospitality

Not a bar that happens to serve burgers, but a gourmet burger restaurant that does so in a bar. I'm always a bit skeptical when something is acclaimed as the "best of" anything. Is it possible that Lucky Beaver might actually have, or at least be close to, the Best Burger in Tahoe? Yes. I was surprised to see they offer two types of burgers: 1. the 1/2 lb Signature using 50-day aged prime rib along with chuck, brisket and short rib; and 2. the 1/2 lb Famous Steak Burger made with short rib and bone-in chuck roast. So, the Signature Burger was obviously better, right? Well, actually...no. The Steak Burger was much more moist and flavorful than its colleague, the Signature Burger. The "ambiance" is...a loud and busy bar. If you're good with that, then you're good. They do have a small back patio which is dog and family friendly, and with this huge menu they're as much a restaurant as they are a bar anyway. Service was VERY helpful and friendly, especially in seating our group of 6 humans and 2 canines. Go there, have a drink and a burger and enjoy! read more

This place is cool!! I should have taken pictures because we sat at the bar and right downtown Tahoe across the street from Heavenly and all those stores. And sheesh was it BUSY but how fun!! Our bartender who kept joking with us was super nice and awesome we liked him! Everyone was saying the hype was the burgers but we ended up getting and got lots of beer and their specialty cocktails one that was tasty to me but funny was called "the kinky beaver" it tasted like a liquid jolly rancher. I also had some of their "Angry Orchard Crisp Apple Cider" which was also delicious while my friend was drinking their "Sculpin Grapefruit IPA" I tried it and it was yummy! So yeah you can say we had a good time. As for their appetizers we got the corkscrew shrimp which was okay and the chicken tenders which had a bit more breading than chicken and the chicken sandwich with tater tots! I may try the burger next time because they apparently have great ones! All and all everyone was VERY friendly cool, and we had a great time before walking around downtown and we will definitely be back!! read more

This place was amazing. The food was really good. We went to eat 3 out of the 4 days we were there. Everything was delicious. What stood out to me the most was the service.

Got a tip from a friend to try the best burgers in Tahoe. We were able to snag a table out back with our dog although the inside is dog-friendly as well. Service was amazing - from hosts to servers. Besides the burgers, they're supposed to be known for their wings which we need to try next time. The salads looks good too to be honest.. and their chili too? So everything?They seemed very open to customization - building a DIY burger for a guest at the table next to us. We got a royal flush and a gambler, which was definitely enough food. My boo loved the gambler ($19) - "this is my kind of burger." The onion rings (+$4) were perfectly crisp. The royal flush ($19) was delicious but the bottom bun on this was super soggy and therefore kinda inedible so ended up fork-and-knifing it. Maybe should have gotten a steak salad. Garlic parm fries were disappointing - largely undercooked and soggy at the same time. read more

I last had this in 2013 and it was exceptional. We went with our family last night and things definitely have changed. Sat in the outside area since we have minors Lots of inconsiderate people smoking down wind of us, and some jerk on a motorcycle reved his bike for 5 mins non stop making the whole patio smell like a race track. The food took well over 1 1/2 hours to get to us. The wait for the food was disgustingly long. No one ever checked on us and no one came to refill drinks ever. The bronze burger was mediocre at best. Flavorless, and bland, the fried egg brought some flavor but it was nothing to rave about. Some of my fries were cold, like refrigerator cold. I would not go back or recommend based on this experience. Not a good experience. read more

Food- ordered a Hot Hand burger and scarfed it down. After a day of being out on the snow, it was great to have some spice, including a flamed jalapeño speared on top of the burger. TONS of fries. Service- sat at a video gambling spot and was waited upon quickly. There were no other seats available at the bar and I didn't want to take a table space. Also, no one wanted to gamble. So I sat there! Ambiance- it's a table room setup. Lowly lit, gambling in the background with TVs. Place bets on the video screen while you eat! Or just eat. read more

Hands down one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life. We ordered the jackpot burger with garlic parmesean fries and both were delicious and packed with flavor. The jackpot burger came with bacon, veggies, avocado, a fried egg, jalapeno slice, barbecue sauce, and an onion ring in the burger. The patty melts in your mouth and you can taste a hint of charcoal and steak seasoning. It wasn't spicy at all either, which is ok for me! Would've loved a bit of heat though. They also split the burger for us without having to ask but the portions made us full for sure. The garlic parmesean fries were a bit crispy and didn't lack any sort of flavor. You easily get the best of both worlds. The calamari fries were a bit spongy and a little too rubbery for my liking but the sauces that came with it made it taste great! The only complaint I have is the cocktail we chose. We chose the kinky beaver which was disappointingly small for the price and you can barely taste the alcohol but you can still get a bit tipsy. Unfortunately this place doesn't allow 20 years and younger to sit inside the restaurant, however they have a patio with heaters. It was still very cold and quite uncomfortable but the food distracted us from the chilly weather. Great spot! A bit overpriced but this place is a must go if you're visiting Lake Tahoe read more

Very disappointing experience at Lucky Beaver this past weekend. The three of us ordered Premium Steak Burgers cooked medium and waited 20 minutes. All three burgers came out very rare to the point there was blood on the burger buns. After flagging our waiter down he stated they would recook the burgers and that the burgers did look a little red. We waited an additional 20 minutes and our server returned with our burgers well done. The cooks had merely thrown our rare patties back on the grill (for too long) and put them on new buns. The fries and tater tots were served ice cold. They were definitely from the original order. The restaurant was packed and we didn't want to wait another 20 minutes so we just ate our disappointing burgers. Each patty did not look 1/2 lbs as they claim and I've had a better burger at in-and-out. The burgers were $26 each and the meal per person did not warrant the price point at all. Service was nonexistent and waiter did not even refill our waters. We unfortunately tipped 15% even though they definitely did not deserve this. Save yourself the money and disappointment and eat somewhere else. read more
