    Fork and Horn
    Simple W.

    Fork and Horn owned by local ranching family. Old school country breakfast. Big portions. Delicious coffee. Service from friendly attractive country girls. Old school diner ambience. Customers are local cowboys and hot springs goers. Love this place. Hope to return again soon

    When you're in the area and need a great place for breakfast, I highly recommend The Fork & Horn! With only a handful of reviews, I admit we were a little skeptical about how many five star reviews they had. But after eating there, the reviews were correct! The signage for the building could have been a little easier to see, but this place cranks out some awesome food! Victoria was out waitress, and did an amazing job of accommodating our party of 9 people! ...while also taking care of the rest of the patrons! This isn't a huge place and seating is somewhat limited, but for being located in the little town of Sierraville it's a gem of a place. It's good enough that I need to make time and an excuse to visit again sooner than later!

    We had a great breakfast here this morning. Eating keto we asked them to not put in potatoes or give us toast it seems like they gave us extra of the other stuff. Didn't even ask and give us a veterans discount. The price was good. My wife got the chorizo scramble special she added mushrooms to it it was really good. I had the spicy Italian omelette and I added mushrooms to it as well I would highly recommend you add the mushrooms. Service was friendly and great.

    Sriracha Chicken, Eggs and Pancakes!

    We made two visits to the Fork and Horn last weekend and were blown away. The food was spectacular. It must be great for the locals to have this establishment in town. We had breakfast on day one. Sriracha chicken with eggs and pancakes was wonderful. Huge plate and came with really fresh fruit. Also had the Ranch House Tacos. Huge tacos with shredded pork and eggs and a tamale and black beans. The beans were super flavorful and the salsa was too. Great service and friendly atmosphere. We went back the next day for lunch. Blown away again. This time we had a CA BLT and a Rueben. We were both defeated by the size of the sandwiches. Both came with seasoned fries that rocked. The Ruben had sliced turkey and sour kraut between the grilled pastrami and marbles rye. Wow. I mean WOW! The BLT had added chicken and avocado and was spectacular as well. Leftovers went home with us and were devoured. If you are within 60 miles of Sierraville, stop in for breakfast or lunch! Love this place and we will return!

    Veggie omelette!

    We once travelled to an out of the way place and we're told, "I guarantee this is the best restaurant in the county!" I could not resist and had to say, could that be because this is the only restaurant in he County! So the choices are pretty sparse in this neck of the woods, however, the food plated up at this little interestion of Marbury RFD and paradise are fantastic ! Locally sourced and perfectly prepared and served with plenty of hospitality. This little, in need of better signage eatery would truly outshine any big foodie city place !!!!! When taking the road less travelled a do not miss.

    Maybe we caught them on a bad day, but the food and the service were not as good as everyone else here is reporting. After salivating over these photos and getting excited for breakfast I was immensely disappointed by the traditional Eggs Benedict. It was just a not so thoroughly cooked bacon/ham bun with an egg and a ton of butter that was supposedly hollandaise sauce. I even paid for the extra sauce. (See photo) The service was inattentive but pleasant. Granted, there was a large group ahead of us, so I give them some slack. We waited a long time for the food, which they apologized about, but they didn't bring ketchup, they never came back to check on us or refill coffee, and we had to get someone's attention to ask for our bill.

    Don't miss this jewel! As unassuming as it may seem from the outside, the ambiance, people and food are amazing! Better than some of the well known establishments we all see advertise. Don't think about it, stop in! You won't be disappointed, and though I may never pass their way again, I bought a T-shirt to help them advertise and as a reminder of the some of the best food I have ever put in my mouth! Walk in..waddle out!

    I wish I could say that my experience here was great but unfortunately my family of ten was turned away because of my service dog. We were in town going through my late grandmas things and decided to walk down to this restaurant this morning. I'm upset to say that when I walked inside the lady at the front took one look at my dog in his full vest and told me that I could not bring him inside. I told her he is a service dog and she then illegally asked me if I had a card to prove that he was actually a service animal. She was very snarky and rude about it. I was appalled because I have never been told that my medically necessary dog could not accompany me anywhere. Especially because there is no legally required documentation or proof that I have to show anybody for any reason. My dog is prescribed by a doctor just like any other form of medication. He is well behaved and very polite in restaurants to where people would not even notice he is there. Just by saying he was a service dog she should have allowed us inside. But instead she rudely went to the back to "discuss" 'if my dog should be allowed in without an ID for him. My family and I took our business elsewhere while she went to the back. to the little bakery/ breakfast place next door and they welcomed my dog with open arms. The food next door was amazing and they have great breakfast burritos. I recommend skipping this place all together and taking your money next door to the Cafe or across the street to Los Dos Hermanos, another restaurant that welcomed my dog in without asking any questions. Attached is my photo of my service dog standing by my chair at the Cafe across the street.. *Update for people reading this now: I am aware that he has an Emotional Support badge on him. Being as how service dogs aren't even required to have any patches at all, he usually wouldn't. He wears them when we are in new environments for the people around us (not for him) and I had accidentally left his other patches at home. Yes he is a service dog. He is small, but he is medically necessary.*

    It was my last morning in Truckee after enjoying a multi day golf safari with my brothers-in-law…read more They had already left for home and I was flying out of Reno later in the morning. I really wasn't hungry, but wanted to enjoy a quality breakfast on the last day of a perfect trip. I used to take my family on summer vacations in Truckee many years ago and had fond memories of our trips to Donner Lake. I expanded my search for a great breakfast spot and came across the highly rated Donner Lake Kitchen. It was a glorious Sunday morning around 9:00 when I took the beautiful drive to the lake. I pulled into the parking area with my fingers crossed that I was going to get a seat. The place was packed. A nice gal approached me and I said, "Table for one please". She said, "Do you want to sit at the bar?" Sure, I said! That sounded perfect to me. I looked around at the guys sitting next to me and I knew I was in the right place. The entire vibe of the place is cool, comfortable, and filled with what seemed to be locals to me. The plates of food that the guys sitting next to me were enjoying looked incredible. The menu is HUGE and I guess their pancakes are supersized and delicious. I was tempted to order Eggs Benedict, but thankfully decided upon the #11, a 3-egg Scrambled Omelet with spinach, mushroom, tomato, and Ortega chilis, hash brown potatoes and a side of sourdough toast. That's an unusual order for me, but it sounded good at the time. Sitting at the bar, I had a good vantage point to observe the staff and kitchen. The entire team are real pros. They sling out a ton of quality food in a timely and efficient manner. The servers appear to have worked there for a long time and were very pleasant and professional. Out came my breakfast and I was amazed at how it good it looked. Well, it tasted even better. The waiter asked me if I wanted hot sauce and I noticed there was a bottle of Tapatio in front of me. I asked if he had any other hot sauce and he goes underneath the counter and lays two bottles of kicked up hot sauce from Truckee on me. Jackpot! I had a hankering for good hash browns but this place also serves home fries. I love they have two choices of potatoes for you to choose from. I don't go out to breakfast often, but I have rarely seen two options in the potato category. They also offer tortillas if you want them. The omelet was huge, and loaded with freshly cooked spinach, cheese, tomatoes....it was awesome. The hash browns were great and hit the spot. As usual, I poured on 3 or 4 of the various Smucker's jellies onto the toast. Delicious. The total bill was $21 out the door (food only), and I was very happy to pay that for a wonderful breakfast experience. I will definitely come back to eat more of the extensive menu. When I left, there were a bunch of people waiting outside and even noticed an outdoor seating area. I got the feeling this is the place to go in Donner Lake and you might have to wait to get a seat, depending on when you get there and how lucky you get on the timing. This is an easy 5-Star rating for me.

    Food was great. The…read morelowest percentage option for tip was 20 percent. Service was great. I got there at 8 am in the morning it was 40 degrees All doors and windows where open. Every one in the restaurant was freezing. I ask my waitress and she closed the door. 3 mins later the other waitress A big and tall white woman open the door. She was dressed very inappropriate. With really short shorts. Shes about 6 feet tall heavy set. I dont know who the manager is. I still giving 5 stars. I hope Owner takes care of this. It appears the heavy set waitress is bullying the other waitress. As she said its cold but she cant close the door unless customers ask. Its a really nice place with great food. Not impressed with the 1 waitress.

She always made sure our coffee was filled and consistently checked on us. I had the chicken pesto sandwich and fries. It looked amazing! Fries were tasty, crispy and hot. The sandwich was fresh as well but honestly... not a ton of flavor. I had to add some hot sauce to it. I'm also not sure why it's labeled as also serving Mexican in the yelp description. The inly item I saw was huevos rancheros. Lastly, it's labeled here as the Mountain View cafe but on the building it has a large sign that says the Log Cabin... so don't let that confuse you! I really like the interior and the wood like, cozy small town feel! I grew up in a town like Portola and it definitely took me back. I might come back to try another dish as I do like supporting small businesses!

I ordered the ham, egg and cheese croissant. It was good, but could have used flavor/seasoning. It hit the spot though for a quick bite in the morning. I'd like to try a lunch menu item next time to get a more rounded feel for the restaurant and add another review.
