Old Range Steakhouse - Steakhouses Near Me - Tahoe Vista, California

My husband and I had dinner here last week for the first time. Our server and service was great. The menu said my husband's ribs were to be smoky and sweet but they were not even close. I ordered the filet mignon. While it was cooked to my specification it was bland with no real flavor. I also prefer my mashed potatoes fluffy and not runny. Perhaps we will give it a second chance next time we visit the North Shore. read more

The food was okay nothing to be wowed! The steak that we ordered were okay some of the cuts were tough and also we have ask the waitress to cook our steak in a specific way and told us it was impossible because they only have a grille ‍‍ we just asked to have it cooked in all sides and charred how hard is that?! But anyway The price is ridiculous! The ambiance was okay a little bit too dark for our taste but the view before sunset is for sure nice! The service was okay there was a couple of times where we couldn't see anybody and had to wait for a little while and also when we did ask for a manager to talk to she told us there was no manager... so I don't know what is going on there. We won't be back here again and would not even recommend it... unless you just want to bE there for drinks and watch the sunset with couple of quick bites but not for dinner... read more

If I can give this restaurant more stars I absolutely will. Went to Tahoe with some friends and we were all in the mood for a nice steakhouse. By far the best one I have ever been to in CA. The place has a cabin feelvery cozy with low lights. Our waiter Trevor was on top of everything we received great service. Our dishes were definitely shareable they serve big portions cannot complain. The drinks were good as well. I would love to live closer so I can frequent this restaurant more. In the meantime definitely will visit again when in Tahoe. read more

Everything was spot-on! The steak was perfectly cooked -- juicy, tender, and full of flavor. The sides were rich and comforting, especially the mashed potatoes. Our server was wonderful and truly tried their best to make sure every detail met our needs. Great food, great service, and an overall warm dining experience. Highly recommend! A generous cut of prime rib cooked to a perfect medium-rare, beautifully tender with a juicy pink center and a flavorful crust. It's served with a creamy horseradish sauce on the side and a rich au jus base that enhances every bite. Accompanying it are buttery mashed potatoes -- smooth, velvety, and the perfect comfort pairing. A slow-braised lamb shank served over a hearty bed of white beans and vegetables, soaked in a savory broth. The meat looks tender enough to fall off the bone, with a topping of fresh scallions for a pop of color and flavor. It's a rustic, comforting dish with rich aromas and a melt-in-your-mouth texture -- perfect for anyone who enjoys deep, slow-cooked flavors. FYI heavy taste read more

I decided that, after her first week of radiation treatment, my wife needed a quick jaunt in Kings Beach. I chose this establishment to be our "special dinner." Not fine dining per se, but it is somewhat expensive and only a once in a while type place. But.. . YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!! We shared a crab louie type appetizer, complete with crackers, avocado, and other components. Delicious. My filet was not only cooked perfectly to my preferred temperature, but the mashed potatoes would make Dracula cry...and he's 8,000 miles away in Romania. The creamed spinach tasted freshly made, and was so indulgent. May not have been my healthiest meal of late, but definitely one of the tastiest. Due to radiation treatments and dietary constraints, my wife was limited on what to order. She was able to "only" order a chicken pesto dish....at a steakhouse...where she was surprised at how good a pasta dish was...again....at a steakhouse. Mad props to having a delicious alternative to hunks of meat. Our server was perfect. Interacted when he needed too, very friendly, but let us take our time to enjoy our meal. Again, definitely a once in a while type place price wise, bit 100% worth it. Strongly recommend for your steak needs... read more

Dining at the Old Range Steakhouse in Tahoe was spectacular! The restaurant is beautiful with old fashioned steakhouse decor and vibe! We had no reservations but lucky to have the last two seats by the bar. The host was polite and our server was friendly and attentive. Old Range Steakhouse deserves a solid full five Yelp Star from me. Our dinner was delicious. The prime rib and Osso buco was cooked to perfection! The prime rib cut was huge and generous! Idk why the Yelp review gave this Old Range Steakhouse 3.5 star. I highly recommend it! read more

The waitstaff is very often snobby, rude and stressed out. The sides are highly over salted. The house is cozy, drinks are great and the beef is delicious. read more

How did I never know about this incredible place BEFORE? FOH was 110%, the views of the lake were great, and the food better get a Michelin Star soon! The best, biggest prime rib I have ever had! Great appetizer bread, the mushrooms were through the heavens! Creamed spinach was also the best I have ever had. Wife said her petite filet was probably the best she ever had, and she has travelled the world on business. Now onto the wedge salad. OMG. The best thick bacon bar none. Best wedge salad. Fresh brewed ice tea! read more

This is a charming restaurant with steakhouse ambiance, great food, large portions, affordable high-end wine, and experienced servers. The steaks are excellent -- offering huge cuts of prime beef. The ribs are insancely good. The spicier Hell BBQ Sauce is a winner. There really isn't a strong competitor to The Old Range Streakhouse in the area. It's a locally owned standout! read more

The first review I posted was removed due to violations within guidelines, which, for me, made zero sense, because I was sharing my honest experience, as I always do. So let's try this again. Ample parking, very low key ambiance, dark, dim, like a tavern. Massive windows with views of the lake for designated reservations only, which we discovered upon entering, per discussion with host, whom wasn't the most polite nor professional when greeting, who then later sat two gentlemen at the reservation seating area, because they told the host they were "Good Tippers." We were directed to the very back of the restaurant, which was segregated from the designated reservation seating area, aligned with two smaller tables, very close to one another, a bit uncomfortable, and even darker than the rest of the restaurant. It was extremely hard to see the lake from the smaller shared window, as we were all aligned horizontally, table to our left had the window towards their the left side of their bodies. It took quite a long time to receive water, have our order taken, with many apologies coming from the waiter, who was actually very cool. He gave us a few recommendations. We ordered the iceberg salad, which comes with half a head of lettuce with condiments surrounding it, as well as drizzled over it. This was tasty, but very messy and hard to cut and separate, especially in such dim lighting. We ordered the crab cake ball to split, the portions are large, so really, all you need is one side dish before the main. This dish was my favorite. Tasty, fresh, loved the avocados, and crackers used to scoop up. This could be a main dish, I'd order for sure. The main entree, salmon and potato puree with broccoli on the side was decent, the mashed potatoes were my favorite. I took a few bites of the fish, too salty. My fiancé said his steak with mushrooms on the side was a bit heavy, he didn't finish, but he enjoyed the overall dish. The creamy cheesecake, had to have been the ultimate favorite here. We shared a slice in our room, asked to go box- extremely delicious. The total was close to 200, in my opinion, not worth the expense, especially after the experience we had with the two hosts and elongated waiting time. I had pictures added to last post, but those were removed as well, so unfortunately, I can't show our dishes, as I discarded those photos after posting the first time. read more

Food was very tasty, the portion is way too big. I recommend you split your order for an additional $9 (2 person can definitely share 1 order) because all of us only finished our food halfway! Our first time to eat here so we didn't know. but it's all good. We really enjoyed eating here! The server was really nice, ambiance was nice. I think the only downside was the wait. I think we waited like 30 minutes for our order to be ready, but it was totally fine because food was very delicious so it was all worth the wait! read more

Great spot on the lake with great views and good food. Will definitely be back. One of our favorite spots now

We were here visiting Lake Tahoe and came here for dinner for my birthday. Idk why this place only has a 3 1/2 stars. The food is incredibly delicious. I had a New York Strip and my boyfriend had a Filet Mignon. Both came with delicious garlic mashed potatoes. I definitely recommend this restaurant. 10/10. And next time I'm in Lake Tahoe I will definitely come here to eat. We took the leftovers home and had steak and eggs for breakfast and the steak was still and good and juicy. We did get lucky as walk in's but we sat at the bar because that was only available. And we are ok with that because we like to sit at the bar for better service. Ohh and before I forget. You MUST try the home made cheesecake. It is sooooo good. We were so full but we still ordered it and it didn't disappoint. read more

Fine example of a Western old-school steak joint. The wife and I come here every time we visit the Tahoe region. We recommend the prime rib every time. In past years we normally got the medium rare. Sassy now prefers medium well to well. I ordered mine medium rare. Tasted great! Huge portion if you get the cowboy cut, but most will be able to be content with the cowgirl cut. We had leftover! 5 stars if it weren't for my steak being closer to medium well, even thought my order was a medium rare. The steak even had the right marker on it so I was perplexed. I decided to eat rather than complain. For this minor glitch I gave 4 stars, although in the past they nailed it every time! I wonder if this has anything to do with a recent remodeling and price increase? read more

Went to this restaurant after skiing. Pictures and review looked good. Not the case. I ordered my prime rib medium rare to medium. Wanted some juice. Didn't happen. No juice. My daughter ordered a half rack of ribs. It was tough and hard to cut. Told waitress about it and she said SORRY. I expected to receive a discount. Did not happen read more

Most definitely not recommend coming here unless you have a reservation, the male host says they are fully booked but yet when you come right when they are open you see tables available all around and those people who claim they reserved a "table" have not bothered to show up on time. False advertising especially because it doesn't say on there website it's reservation only. I come down with my family all the way from Vallejo to enjoy Tahoe delicious food and try out new places. But this was unprofessional and most unwelcoming. I would strongly recommend not to come here unless you have a "reservation" read more

I really don't like to write bad reviews but I am fed up with this place. I swore I wouldn't go back and I did and it was terrible. The entire wait staff has an attitude like they are the only game in town. My wife and I ordered the surf and turf crab legs with fillet. They charged us $12 to split the dish..... shame on them! The only potato option is mashed potatoes, no baked. Don't waist your time going here and drive up to Crystal Bay Casino's steak and lobster restaurant or drive into Incline Village for an epic dinner at Le Bistro!!! Probably one of the best French restaurants I have ever been to. It's hidden in the back of the shopping center behind Fredrick's read more

Haven't written a review in quite some time but felt the need to add my two cents about this lovely restaurant walked in with no reservation half the restaurants empty multiple seats open at the bar The male host refused to allow me to sit at the bar to have a couple glasses of wine said dinner only If the restaurant was packed, I could see his point but considering that it closed in 45 minutes and it was half empty made no sense at that .10% of something is better than 100% of nothing good luck with that! read more

We had a wonderful, early bird special dinner on tuesday. The service was fantastic, and the food was a great value, especially for lake tahoe! It's a very traditional style steakhouse which I find refreshing now with all of the warehouse style restaurants that are popular. We had a lovely booth with a nice view of the lake out of the window. We started with martinis and opted for the early bird special of shrimp cocktail, a great salad and a generous cut of prime rib. Our server was fantastic and very attentive. No complaints at all! read more

Went in with a party of four on a Friday night. Showed up about 15 minutes early but was promptly seated. Classic dark steakhouse interior. Fantastic Ceasars salad. Some said best they've ever had. Definitely hand made dressing. Two in the party had the salmon. Again it was reviewed as "best ever" and this was from people who often eat salmon. The prime rib was "good". Slow roasted so impossible to get rare or medium rare. Lastly was the lamp shank. Excellent. Only complaint was the lamp shank was served in a pool of sauce and gnocchi. About halfway through the meal it just became too much. I feel it would have been even better if served on a bed of rice or some type of mashed potatoes so that every bite wouldn't be the same. Staff was excellent. Attentive without being intrusive. We'd all be more than happy to return. read more

My favorite restaurant at the North end of the lake (actually any end but I've been to most of the ones at this end). The food is spectacular ... beef, pork, lamb or fish. No you don't need to limit yourself to just the steak, but the steaks are darn good. The vegetables, potatoes or any of the sides are also superb. The service can vary from great to okay but the food has always been great and that's what matters to me when I'm not cooking at home. To those of you complaining because it's not light or dark enough or because the wait staff didn't give you a toothy smile that was big enough or they didn't place your napkin carefully on your lap, please go somewhere else so I can get a table and enjoy a delicious meal. read more

I rarely leave Yelp reviews but I just can't help myself after reading these reviews. Do you need your server to lay your napkin in your lap for you and pat you gently on the head to deem an experience worthy of your patronage? My boyfriend and I have been here about 6 times over the past 2 years, and it's our go-to restaurant at Lake Tahoe. Food is excellent, and the portion sizes are huge. The cheesecake is the best I ever had! I have never had bad service here. Anyway, I'm trying to cancel out some of these bad reviews because Old Range should not have a 3.5 star rating. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk, and I still managed to do it in less words than some of these cry babies. read more

Old Range Steakhouse - Rack of ribs, gnocchi - Steakhouses Near Me - Tahoe Vista, California

The good food and service always good, stupid house rules. Tonight we went for another great meal/experience while at our place in Tahoe vista. We started with a bottle of fine wine $65, ordered a nice salmon appetizer $26.. wanted to just have a couple of side dishes, mushrooms and cream spinach. Which would have been $121 plus tip for two. That was not acceptable to the restaurant, you must order an entree or you don't get to eat?? Makes no sense to me. We could have had 1 cheaper entree no wine, no appetizer and been fine to have a seat and spent about $36. Plus $8 to share a plate. Plenty of other restaurants that really do appreciate your business without the stupid anti business anti customer house policies. Must work for them! Beware before you go. Just a heads up.

Hmmmmmm Ok I've had an amazing time at this restaurant before, however, tonite was a failure in service and food, period. I don't know if the waitress is having a bad day but today I received poor behavior from our starting waitress. My prime rib was over cooked and I asked if I could have it the temperature of my choice. The waitress was argumentative and asked me to step into the kitchen to look at the steaks color in the kitchen rather than at the dinner table ( strange right). As I did not like how argumentative the waitress was I told the hostess and the same waitress came up to me again to argue her point. Her behavior was aggressive and she kept asking me to go into the kitchen. Steaks were not cooked to my preference, period. She said it was lighting but the texture of the steak was not medium rare. Please do better. read more

Pull up a barstool. Steaks for everyone! We decided to try the Old Range Steakhouse -which was conveniently down the street from our hotel. We called to make. Reservation but they were booked-so instead we thought would go anyway. We lucked out and sat at the Bar and were entertained with the making of cocktail after cocktail. Shout out to TREVOR -who provided great service. We were impressed with how he was anywhere. He was the bartender and seemed to be responsible for everything and everybody. We each ordered the RIBEYE STEAK-$40.00 and shared the GREEK SPINACH artichoke, sun-dried tomato, scallions, feta, olives & vinaigrette dressing-18.00. Our drink choice for the night (highly recommend) -Irish coffees. Note: they do have a unique wine selection. You pick your wine bottle from (the wall of wine) and they pour it right up. Parking is available in a dedicated lot. The building has a resort like a cabin feel. They have booths by the window which have a clear view of the lake. The Interior lighting was dark but cozy, lots of wood (old cabin feel), and the decor supported a Tahoe cabin eclectic vibe. Perk: convenient and large parking lot. read more

First ate at O R S about 29 years ago, was awesome, we went almost once a month, moved from the area 4 years ago, went back last night for the first time, server was good, food not, appetizers were unusual in presentation and taste, but just ok, main course awful, ordered prime rib med rare to rare, what we got was obvious weekend left overs, serves floating in beef broth and medium cooked or warmed up, the garlic potatoes served in a bowl like soup, heavy seasoned in garlic, we did not return for something better, sticking to " be careful if you send back" a meal. A very expensive meal not worth the price or the 55 mile drive to get there, scratch off our shrinking list of good dinning read more

A consistent family favorite. They do good steak and have nice lake views. Good service and the cutest cups for shirley temples

We have been here one other time amd it did not disappoint ! Brett our server was great. This restaurant is in the North Shore Kings Beach area. We shared the middle cut Prime Rib and it was so tender and delicious, it came with garlic mashed potatoes and broccoli, and they bring you warm bread with soft whipped butter. We started with Shrimp cocktail and wedge salad, both were delicious. They are very generous with all the portions. Wonderful bar and wine selection read more

Meh, food wasn't that great. After paying close to $50 for one meal+ tip I was expecting it to be amazing. It was just ok. Literally zero flavor, it was extremely tender but of course it was slowed cooked. Also the packaging is terrible for the meal. I opened the box and it was leaking through the styrofoam plate then onto my hotel room floor. Great.... I would go elsewhere, unless you are looking to just go for the experience. The inside did look nice and they had a nice selection of drinks. The side of bread that they gave was rock solid and so was the butter. Not impressed. read more

We have visited Tahoe for years and have FAILED to stop by here which is quite a miss on our part. The ambiance and view from this restaurant are great and we enjoyed our meal here.
