We planned to go out to Old Town Tap with friends that were visiting Tahoe and overall had a great experience--the only downside is they don't take reservations. The front area was really crowded and the hosts seemed less than thrilled to be dealing with all of that. With that said, the food makes up for it and we definitely understand why it's so busy. We really enjoyed the Caesar salad, Brussels sprouts and the pizzas and will definitely be back next time we're in Truckee! read more

When I first walked into the restaurant I was greeted with the smell of truffles, yum!! We obviously ended up ordering the mushroom Mac n cheese which was a delight! It had a lovely taste of truffle to it. We also ordered the Los Olivos pizza! This pizza came with those buttery green olives was something I've never had on a pizza before. It was delicious! We got one pizza to go and it wasn't cooked fully. The crust was very pale and a tag soggy. Highly recommend getting here early to get a table. We arrived on a Friday night around 6:30pm and didn't get sat until about 8:30pm. Pro tip: there's a delicious Mexican restaurant next door that has great margaritas if you're looking to kill time. read more

Old Town Tap - Los Olivos Pizza & Mushroom Mac n cheese - Pizza Near Me - Truckee, California

3.5 stars, but I rounded up. Quality/Quantity - Soup of the day - Tortilla soup; 4 stars. Good quality, but not enough quantity. Not sure if there was a bowl option? Pizza of the day - Bacon trout pizza; 3 stars. This lacked flavor; I also had to ask for parmesan and red peppers. Also, there were just not enough toppings. See picture. Baked well, but under the crust was way too oily. The good wolf - Dragon slayer IPA. This was a home run, 5 stars. The menu states 14 oz, but I am sure I got a pint; it was filled to the top!! Brewbilt - Sample; 3 stars. Mostly foam, sorry I drank the sample before remembering to take the picture, so you get a picture of an empty glass... German style beer, too light for me today. Atmosphere - Indoor or outdoor seating - Too cold today for outdoor, but indoor was also too hot. I am being extra difficult... Plenty of seating everywhere. Table tops, booths, bar seating, etc. Open kitchen, you can even see the pizza oven. Full bar that is actually fairly extensive. I am looking forward to a cocktail next time. Metered street parking. Open 7 days a week from noon till 9 or 10pm; see Yelp or website. Service - Okay, not good or bad. Price - $37 + tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016. And more importantly, congrats on your 6 month honeymoon!! Wow. Wishing you the best, next time I will try your cocktails. read more

Great Brews! We stopped in for beers and appetizers before going out to dinner! Great time!

We had a great experience here. The staff seemed to all care that we enjoyed our meal and overall were happy to answer any questions we had about the menu. Beer drinkers and wine lovers alike would be happy with their selections. The Caesar salad with bacon was so delicious, a huge portion, easily shared. We will return soon. read more

This restaurant is delicious! The food is very fresh and there is a variety of standard and unique options. The service is fantastic and the staff were very attentive. We had a Margherita pizza and a beet salad which were both fantastic. I also had a amaretto sour to drink, which was made perfectly and tasted delicious. They also have some great sharing options like Brussels sprouts with an in revile dipping sauce and a delicious meat and cheese charcuterie board. Also, they brought us a buttermilk herb dressing to dip our pizza in, which I highly recommend getting because it made several members of our party audibly gasp from how good it was. This restaurant has an open concept setup with a very modern and trendy vibe. Definitely a must in downtown Truckee. read more

Came on a Tuesday night and it was pretty crowded. Lots of people near the bar watching the game and a large company party. The short 15 minute quote the host told us turned into 30 minutes since we were a table for 4. Honestly menu is pretty limited and maybe I just ordered wrong but for the price I was underwhelmed. Overall okay place for small bites but the quality wasn't impressive to me. read more

Service - 5/5 Food & Drinks - 5/5 Ambiance - 4/5 Had a great time at Old Town Tap! Our waitress (unfortunately didn't catch her name) was amazing, going above and beyond to be attentive and service our table. We ordered 2 house salads, brussel sprouts, Margherita pizza and a Ndúja Pizza. Was really impressed by it all. Everything was very good. Salad was perfectly dressed, brussel sprouts came with a delicious dip and the pizzas were SO GOOD. read more

Fantastic food, great beer selection, and relaxing atmosphere. We had the pork and padron pizza, the meatball pie pizza, Caesar salad, and fried Brussels sprouts. The menu is very simple but they cook everything perfectly. The pizzas were fantastic with thin crust. The fried Brussels sprouts were so light and delicious. Food came out really fast. The whole environment was very relaxing and comfortable. I highly recommend this place. read more

I had to jump in to write a review because my dad declared that this was the best Caesar Salad and the best Hazy IPA he has ever had. The Hazy is a limited time Black Plague. We also really enjoyed the heirloom tomato dish - everything about it was amazing. Others in our group enjoyed the truffle pizza, the pork pizza, and the mac and cheese. It's a great spot with a good vibe. Would highly recommend! read more

Service was absolutely amazing! I adored the aesthetic but alongside with that the food was amazing! Me and a couple friends came for some light food and drinks and it was the perfect balance because we have some friends coming later so we didn't want to get too full. I would definitely come again especially for the flavor of the pizzas. read more

Great lunch and dinner spot in Truckee. We started with the Brussel sprouts which had a good flavor. My one criticism is that I felt like we had a lot of Brussel leaves instead of the full sprouts. The aioli on the side is great. Don't sleep on the kale and quinoa salad. It may seem basic, but the shishito vinaigrette is so good! This is a must get. We also got the Pork and Padron pizza which came highly recommended by our server. If I'm being honest, this was not my favorite. Way too salty, it needed a sweet or something to offset all the salt from the pork belly and bacon. I've gotten the meatball pizza in the past which is great, so I'm probably going to go back and get that next time. Sometimes this place can be really busy, it wasn't too bad today at 12pm on a Saturday. There were a ton of families (so a little loud), but it's definitely a good place for all types of groups. Will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in the area read more

Amazing place. The food was so delicious we couldn't decide on one or two things so we ordered a bunch. And ate it all. Brussel sprout, burrata, little gem salad and olive pizza with pancetta. Then we had ice cream with fruit compote and fudge sauce. Waddling out of here totally satisfied. The wait staff is so attentive and personable. It is a must stop while in Truckee. read more

We had a great lunch here! The food was excellent, the service was very good, and the setting was pleasant. Our family of 3 (2 adults and 1 young child) shared the following: 1) Heirloom tomato/burrata salad - delicious 2) Hummus and pita - flavorful 3) Brussel sprouts - tasty 4) Sausage and kale pizza (without cheese for my husband) - it was amazing (I imagine it's even better with cheese!) I loved my spicy cocktail as well - I can't recall the full name of it, but it had "July" and "Nineteen" in the name. The staff was very accommodating and friendly, which we appreciated. We enjoyed sitting on the high top tables indoors. Overall, this was a great spot for lunch and we'd happily return! read more

Service here is really slow but food is reliably good. We like the Mac and cheese, pizzas, burrata appetizer, meat balls and cheese board. They have an excellent ice tea too! Only bad thing is the long wait times to get food. read more

All I can say is WOW! We were greeted and sat right away. Ordered a their melancholy shot and the server told me I could make it into a drink. It was delicious! The cheese curds were amazing with their herb buttermilk sauce. We couldn't get enough so we ordered the sausage kale Mac and cheese and that was also so good thought it was going to be a little more spicy but that's okay it was still delicious! Highly recommend if you're looking on the strip! read more

We came here on our most recent Tahoe trip. We cannot stop talking about how amazing the food was. My wife tells everyone headed to Tahoe to eat here. Also the service was amazing and commidating for a large group with five kids ages 3-9. Old Town Tap will be our go to restaurant for future trips! read more

I don't EVER leave bad reviews, but this was very deserving! We were told it was a 45 minute wait for a table of 6 and since it was crowded, three of us went to the bar to wait (there happened to be 3 seats) and the other 3 went next door. Since the person whose name our table was under went next door, i went to the host and told him we were waiting at the bar. He rudely told me it had only been 13 minutes of our 45 minute quote... ummm, ok... just wanted you to know we were sitting at the bar waiting. 30 minutes later i see a big table being cleared and the host walks by and i stop him and ask if that big table was for us. He said I sent a text and no one responded so i was "just about" to give it away. I said no, we are here and have been waiting! He told us to close our tab at the bar. We quickly did that. Another customer quickly took our bar seats and i found the host and told him we were closed out and he told us he had already seated another party. I was SO confused. But when I saw him looking at us while talking to someone who appeared to be a manager/owner, I walked over and told the manager/owner what had happened. No apology, no alternate accomodations, just rudeness. Its unfortunate because the food looked and smelled good, but I will NEVER recommend this place to family or friends because of the service! We were starving and the friends next door gave up their table to come to this place and we lost our bar seats! Bar America a few doors down accomodated us, and their food, entertainment, and most importantly SERVICE, was spot on! read more

They do the crust right here. Thin crust crispy pizza. The olive pizza was so good just on the salty end. The bacon pizza also was too salty but still tasted great. Maybe if we were drinking more the saltiness would have been welcomed? I was disappointed with the burrata, it was good but not worth the price point and the flatbread it came with was pretty basic. They have a large selection of cocktails and alcohol. read more

First time back in Truckee. Had lunch here with my mom. I got the sour beer and we shared the Mushroom pizza. Beer was very refreshing, cold and just the right amount of tartness. Pizza was yummilicious! The mushrooms was perfectly cooked, lots of cheeeeese! And the crust was thin and crispy. Service was great! Didn't have to wait for a seat and was served with water quickly. Restroom was cleaned and stocked. Neutral gender restrooms. We sat inside but the place had a very open feel so you can still feel the breeze from outside. Next time, will try sitting outside read more

We really enjoyed this place, I had the bacon and pork belly pizza, different and very good. Caesar salad with chicken was good.

Great food and vibe. Glad we found ithis place. Great options for the whole family. We jad pizza Salad and a cheese plate.

Very nice spot with a cute outdoor patio! We were able to bring our dog here so that was a huge plus. They have a huge wine and beer list so we got to try a few drinks and all the beers/ciders that we got were really good. We got the Margherita pizza and the red sauce was DELICIOUS. At first I thought it was kind of basic but the aftertaste of that sauce was heavenly. The heirloom tomato and burrata salad was ok- I love burrata so it's hard for me to be disappointed. The issue for me was that it wasn't really a salad, it was just burrata and tomatoes paired with flatbread. To be fair that is what it says on the menu, I just would've expected something from the salads side of the menu to be more of a salad. Overall a very lovely experience and our waiter was beyond sweet with our dog! Would come back again. read more

Their pizza was soooo good. We got their mushroom pizza, not a lot of topping (with truffle) but I think they were leaving room for the crust to shine. And it's just simply perfect. The fried Brussels sprouts was very crispy and perfectly seasoned but a bit oily. read more

Came here for the first time with a group of friends. We arrived around 2 pm. They were short staffed and service was terrible. It took them over 30 min to just pour a beer or bring any drinks. They messed up our order so half our table didn't receive their food till 30 min after everyone else. No compensation was offered. Once we got our food though, the food was flavorful and we all enjoyed what we ordered. For the price though, some of the items were really small portions. So 1 star for service, 3-4 stars for the food. Once they get more staff, this place would be worth returning. read more

I came here with my dad and brother for dinner on a friday night which was pretty busy as we had to wait 20 mins for a seat but it was WELL WORTH IT. We ordered the truffle mac and cheese with bacon, chicken ceasar salad and their mushroom with chorizo pizza and all the food items were AMAZING as we practically left no crumbs. Their drink selections are also very unique and seasonal and I ordered the "nineteenth of june" which was a habanero tequila with watermelon and lime that I really enjoyed. 10/10 experience and I would highly recommend others to come as I will be revisiting this place again. read more

We came for a snack. We had the mushroom pizza and the burrata and the roasted red pepper soup. The burrata was sprinkled with pistachios and had a balsamic reduction. It came with homemade flatbread. Very good. The soup was tasty. The pizza crust was thin and crisp. I think they used a wood oven. Not sure. I think they used a combination of cheeses. Very smooth and creamy. It was covered in an assortment of fresh local mushrooms. Hard to beat The decor and ambiance was cool industrial. Service was good. Verdict: great pizza place read more

So glad that my friend and I stumbled upon this place. By stumble we had our Yelp review picks with 3 choices. We tried sitting outside but with it being so busy were told the inside would be quicker. It was very spacious and it was bustling in there. All the drink items were so good sounding that by the end of dinner we both had tried 2 each. I ended up with the Sangria Benaventura and the Puerto Rican Queen. They were both amazing and refreshing. Sounds amazing right now. I ended up with a Pesto pizza, which was delicious. I wasn't sure if it would be filling but boy was it. My friend was very satisfied with her meal as well. Our waitress was very bubbly and friendly and kept coming around to check on us which was appreciated. I just thought it was unfortunate to walk into a business and to be the only person with a mask on (staff included). read more

We came into town before a snowstorm and wanted to grab a warm meal. This plate fit the bill. We ordered a few pizzas, some beers and some cocktails. Hubs and I shared the mushroom soup, and table shared the burrata. Everything was delicious. We had the los olivos pizza and it was scrumptious, even the dough. I was in a playful mood and ordered some off menu cocktails and the bartender totally hit the mark. Highly reccommend. read more

This was my second visit to Old Town Tap. What brought me back? The pizza and the Double 8 Dairy soft serve ice cream with seasonal fruit compote. Truckee was unseasonably warm during our trip. After getting heat stroke at Donner Lake we came to Old Town at 4:00 on a Saturday for dinner. The restaurant was empty and we happily took a seat in a booth. Service was really slow to start. Last time I sat at the bar (and the bartenders are super attentive). The T.V's behind the bar had both the Giants and A's games on. Bonus! When our waitress finally showed up, I ordered a soda water ($2) and my mom ordered a beer Lead Dog Drink Local Blonde ($7). We asked if we could order food (we had 15 minutes with the menu before she came to the table) and we ordered the Heirloom Tomato appetizer ($17), Sausage and Kale pizza ($16), Little Gem Salad ($14) to share. I needed to pace myself to save room for soft serve. The heirloom tomato appetizer is a standard burrata, pesto, pine nuts, aged balsamic, micro greens, lemon zest, flatbread dish. It is tasty, but I'd rather get another pizza in the future for around the same price. The sausage and kale pizza is a masterpiece. The goat cheese, mozz, lemon zest, parm, chili oil on top of a paper thin wood fired crust is pizza perfection. The little gem salad is a meal in itself. Super generous portion with cucumber, cherry tomato, bacon, pt reyes blue, buttermilk dressing. If I could eat this salad everyday, I would! If you're going to get soft serve make sure to let your server know because they have to turn on the machine and get it going. The soft serve is ($4) and seasonal fruit of the day is ($1.50 extra). They also have other toppings including an olive oil & sea salt option ($1.50 extra). Our meal for two (described above) was $67 before tax. read more

Day trip from South Lake Tahoe driving and hiking around the lake. Decided to venture off the path to check out Truckee. Hadn't eaten much lunch so getting hungry and craving pizza. Per Yelp reviews stopped here. We had the Sausage and Kale pizza (less kale and added pepperoni--who wants healthy pizza??). Excellent white pizza with good flavor in the base. Hit the spot. Seems to be a popular local place. Highly recommend. read more

I wasn't expecting much out of a quick lunch stop after day of snow but this place really delivered! We really enjoyed our meal and everything was surprisingly so delicious and well seasoned. We had the kale salad, the caesar salad, the cheese turds, burrata, the mushroom pizza, and olive pizza. I really enjoyed everything we had but especially loved the salads and pizzas. Salads were full of flavor and depth. Service was very quick and friendly and atmosphere was very lively and fun - full of skiiers and snowgoers inside. We also share a few IPAs which were really fresh and tasty as well. I would definitely return here on another trip to Tahoe. read more
