Service was incredibly rude and unfriendly. There was a safety concerns we had before we even sat down. Asked to remove the wire bike cables from the chairs outside to prevent tripping. Seems they forgot upon opening duties. They came out row and then perked the chain injuring my feet! She didn't even acknowledge and ran inside. Then hid. I will never go back and I don't suggest anyone. No one deserve this treatment. Hopefully it wasn't due to our skin color in our group. We left before eating and they lost our service. Walked two doors down to Coffee and coffee. Not only cheaper but so much more friendly. Food is great also. read more

Came here with a group of friends on a Sunday morning. We were seated quickly and offered coffee right away. The menu is very expansive and all the baked goods looked amazing. I settled on the two ranch eggs with hash browns and the biscuit with homemade jam. Good portions and everything tasted great. The place has a cozy feel to it. Our food was brought out very quickly. Service was good. read more

The service and food were not good. We didn't receive any coffee refills or creamer. I didn't receive my toast even though the waitress said she'd bring it. The omelet was only fair and the pancakes weren't cooked through. We would not recommend this spot for breakfast. read more

this is an absolute amazing place to eat great food all across-the-board the kitchen does a great job getting the orders out very quickly. our waitress was absolutely amazing always making sure our waters and our drinks were topped off and I love the rustic style of the entire restaurant and there's a lot of stories that go behind the photos on the wall and the owner Siobhan we met her and she's an absolute amazing person to get to know the restaurant is one big family over there and they made us feel more than welcome. Definitely the highlight of our trip easily the best place to eat in the morning. read more

Stopping by for some breakfast while walking around Truckee and heard about this restaurant. The decor was pretty cool with some very antique items all over the place. The restaurant has a large food menu. Hard to choose on what to get but only wanted something small so I picked a bagel sandwich with a choice of pastrami for the meat. The sandwich was warm and toasty when it arrived. The crispiness from the bread and tender pastrami with pepper jack cheese made it taste delicious. I would recommend it if you like bagel sandwiches. The waitress was patient with our table of 6 and service was fast. read more

Wagon Train Coffee Shop - Bagel Sandwich - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Truckee, California

This was by far the worst experience for catering a party. A few of the menu highlights included a cheese board that was an old cookie sheet layered with dozens of slices of white cheese. The pasta "salad" was a huge white bin of corkscrew pasta tossed with canola oil, and bowls of whole green olives, whole cherry tomatoes, and marinated (black) mushrooms to top. Flavorless shredded chicken and beef in watery juice for sandwiches. The wait staff was inappropriately dressed in bike shorts and an attitude. This catastrophe was $175 per person! A year later and I'm still shaking my head at the utter failure. The fact they advertise to cater weddings I cannot imagine this kind of disappointment on a special day. read more

This place is only good for breakfast cravings. It is a good restaurant to get a meal, but do not have high expectations, as the French toast was seasoned within expectation, nothing outstanding. The eggs were scrambled very casually with no particular attention paid, and the sausage was grilled as usual. It did come with a complimentary small juice, so get apple/orange (I got pineapple and it wasn't the best) Nothing outstanding, nothing to ding about. Sausage could be a little less salty. Get the ham next time! read more

Went in for coffee and probably came out with covid-19. Many of the customers not wearing masks. Even the employees we're sporadically wearing masks. apparently the employees did not understand that coughing sneezing and breathing on silverware and glassware was just as dangerous as doing so on customers. In addition to this review, I'm notifying the health department. read more

If you're like your breakfast with a side of NRA stickers, police worship, and "good ol boy" charm then this is the place for you. For me and my house, after one visit we just don't feel we will be back. I don't feel that this is an incredibly welcoming environment for a family like mine. It just screams days gone by but the days that are probably best left in the past. Of course one can have nostalgia for the old towns from the gold rush. Interesting relics from the time. That's all fine and dandy. But bringing some of the social constructs of those times into a restaurant just feels odd. To top it off the food is just what you would expect from a greasy spoon breakfast joint. Overly salty sausage, extra greasy bacon, biscuits and gravy that are extremely heavy on the gravy. Basically your standard coronary on a plate breakfast joint. And some people like that. It's just not for us. Won't be back. read more

Best breakfast i've had in a long time. the sausage was amazing. Super busy but really fast service.

I really wanted to like this place because it has so much history and seems very rustic, sitting outside with the trains going by transports you back in time. Although the service was nice and they do a great job at refilling your coffee, the food was really bland. I ordered the special which had ham cheese and egg with a pepper and they didn't even dice up the pepper and left it whole. My scramble was also a bit raw inside. The hot chocolate also tasted more like water than actual hot chocolate. The place also didn't look very sanitary lol oh well it was for the experience read more

Horrible service. Food was not edible, The chicken fried steak was basically raw, the hash browns tasted stale as if they were cooked the night before and reheated the next day. The omelette did not have fresh produce and the eggs were completely over cooked. My son's breakfast sandwich which was the least ingredients was the only thing semi edible. We paid for breakfast and left two entire meals this morning. You cannot feed customers raw food period and old food. We work hard for our money however we won't eat bad food. I'd rather go without. read more

Here's the low-down: 1. Food - There's a lot of attention to detail here; there's fresh baked bread, there's Gumbo made daily, there's fresh fries. This is not a place that embraces canned / frozen foods. The medium rare burger I had was perfect with fresh fries and (seemed like) a freshly baked bun. My one complaint was the first cup of coffee; it tasted a little burned, but we were there late in the day. Also, I'd have rather seen a smaller menu featuring only what they do best, but that's my preference. I did not hear any complaints from anyone else while I was there. 2. Service - It was busy, and it's a coffee shop; you're not here to have a Maitre d' experience. You're going to get the friendly coffee shop vibe that borders on overly familiar. If you're not used to this, it might feel uncomfortable, but stay with it, you'll expand your horizons. 3. Ambiance - Wagon train doesn't try to be what it's not; it's a coffee shop with some fantastically crafted food. It feels like a locals-only gem despite its location in the middle of the downtown area. This is a rare gem where corners are not being cut; this kind of place is rapidly becoming a lost bit of Americana, definitely get in there and taste it while you can. read more

Great restaurant in Truckee. Chiffon should be in magazines or TV as she is beautiful, efficient and energetic. Thanks to all who work there. Cook is amazing. read more

Great way to start my morning! Went here after a night of drinking and was very thankful. The food was really good I absolutely loved the gumbo and my burger. Our server was super nice and friendly. We got a mimosa that we didn't end up liking and she was so helpful and able to replace it with something else. Highly recommend if staying in Truckee, great for friends and families. read more

We were in Truckee during the brunch rush and parked in front of Squeeze Inn which had a huge line. So we walked just down the street and found a great spot at the Wagon Train. The menu is huge and so are the portions! Two of us had gigantic bloody mary's - totally worth the $14. We were on the edge of breakfast and lunch and went for burgers and I had a turkey bacon avocado melt. They have a great choice of sides and my husband and I had fruit. The fruit was impressive - bananas and watermelons - not just the usual cantaloupe and strawberry. Good stuff. Service was great too and friendly atmosphere. Would definitely come back, breakfast choices look epic! read more

Such a sweet place with great food! Every person we met treated us like family. They joked, teased, loved, and we got some hugs. It was so refreshing. So what the bloody marry. I loved the avocado omelet, and the corn beef & hash, and the biscuit and gravy. You have to visit this little gem of a restaurant, the food is just as precious as the people. Love love love. read more

Delicious! Prices are pretty steep with the except of this $10 breakfast bagel! I ordered the bagel with turkey and pepper Jack cheese and it was probably one of the best bagel sandwiches I've ever had, perfectly toasted bread, plenty of toppings, and nice and warm. Also read on their sign that breakfast is 1/2 off for early birds before 7:30am which means I'll have to come back! read more

Wagon Train Coffee Shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Truckee, California

Ok so I tried to check in while there but the wifi wouldn't work. The waitress was very nice the place was very rustic with wagon wheels and animal heads on the walls. Lots of pictures also. The place was cute but kinda dirty. The bathroom was dirty and the door has a sign that says push hard to open. Very busy and everything tightly squeezed in. I had biscuits and gravy which was pretty good and a fruit salad which was really very good. My husband had chicken fried steak which he ordered medium because the waitress warned that well would be tough as it was made of elk. It came out well and tough and tasting of old fish oil. Do not recommend that at all. The place had a good atmosphere and nice people but had to take stars for my husband bad food and lack of cleanliness. Also long wait to pay and a young waitress bumped by me and I smiled sorry and she didn't even look back. read more

Old fashioned diner with fast & friendly service, a wide array breakfast options, and an old town feel.

Best breakfast restaurant EVER! My boyfriend and I were a couple of first timers this past weekend. We will be going back and telling everyone to stop in. We were in Truckee for two days and both days went here for breakfast. The service is nothing short of perfect. Everyone is so friendly and hard working. They make you feel at home. The atmosphere is really fun with a lot of history on the walls. The food, well all I can say is the BEST biscuits in the WORLD!!! I can't believe how good they were. It is a must if stopping in. Really everything was delicious. I can't wait to go back! Highly recommend:) read more

The service was AMAZING! We had the Wagon Train breakfast meal and the pancakes were so soft and flavorful. I would definitely recommend if you're traveling through the area.

I'm very disappointed to see this establishment get such low ratings. I actually really enjoyed our breakfast here. Prices were a bit steep but food was great. The blueberry pancakes were worth the upcharge as there were blueberries everywhere. The pancakes had a good chew to them, with a slight crisp on the edges. Bacon was thick cut and perfectly cooked, despite their appearance. The Kaanapali scramble consisted of ham, pineapple and pepper jack cheese along with a sprinkle of pepper flakes. It packs a punch for the unassuming. Service was amazing. The owners were very friendly. read more

Way way way to pricey for what you get .... Yeah the food is good .... But this is not a 4 star hotel

Absolutely the worst restaurant I've ever been to. The eggs were very undercooked/ raw. The toast was burnt. The bacon was cold and rubbery. The place was not very clean, the table was sticky with jelly. The wait staff were nasty. I live here and would never recommend this place. RUN AWAY. read more

It's a nice restaurant with pleasant staff and good food. I used to see this place from the train. When I started skiing Tahoe area in the late 80's, I started eating there. I can't recall any bad food or bad experiences, ever. Once, a local drunk sat down at our booth. My friend was very upset by this. A waitress gently shooed him away. I thought it was great. read more

Excellent place to eat breakfast. There were seven of us that ate at this location for the 3 days we were there (and yes - 50% off before 0700). The hostess was amazing and the food was spot on. Portions were overwhelming and priced right - especially for CA. Great comfortable place for a quick bite! I will definitely be travelling back and this place will always be a "have to" visit! read more

This place was super cute! Very historical feel. The food was amazing, although it was definitely over-priced. I had the BLT w avocado and it came with choice of gumbo or chili so I got the chili and some fries. The bread was SO good. My friend got the hamburger steak and eggs and she said they were really yummy. We got a biscuit with sweet sauce to share as well as a cup of gumbo. The food was amazing. Like I said, overpriced but worth it every now and then. read more
