Come on in and enjoy this fabulous iconic bar & grill diner. Their meals are delicious and why not top it off with a refreshing ice cold drink of your choice. Enjoy the view looking out at the beautiful Sierra mountains. What a simple and relaxing place to be at. It's a place for the hikers, bikers, workers, the commoner, and anyone else who wants to relax and enjoy life. It's old and rough on the edges but that's part of its charm and lure. Stop in and I'm sure you'll agree with me that it's worth a visit. I'm working in Truckee from Sacramento area and stop here when I get chance because it's a place like home that you want to get back to.

Great little ski lodge with affordable food, prices and drinks! We went during the summer to go play some disc golf and stayed for a couple beers. Make sure you try the homemade pie! This is a fun place to visit because chances are you’ll run into hikers on the Pacific crest Trail? It’s fun to talk to them about their journey. The staff was great.

Had the breaded chicken tenders with fries, my buddy had the Cobb salad. Then we each had a slice of pie for dessert. The pie was overpriced ($8 per slice), but it was huge. We should have shared a single slice. I had the apple pie crisp, he had the peach and berry. We finished them both. Our server was friendly, attentive, and very nice.

Stopped in around 4 PM on July, 1 2021. Received no acknowledgent as we walked in. I then asked the bartender if the bar was serving food, and if we could sit at the bar. Bartender replied with a brusque "yeah," and then told another person behind the bar to get us some menus. One woman was standing behind the bar, doing nothing. The other was maintaining conversation with other guests, and never even looked at us. This is a small establishment, and it was not busy. We looked over the menu, decided on dinner and drinks, and waited approximately 5 minutes. At this point, we realized that we were not getting served (or even acknowledged) by either of the people standing 2 feet in front of us. So, we left. I would not recommend this...

They no longer serve breakfast past 11 o’clock so I was forced to order lunch. I got the Korean barbecue chicken salad. It cost $20 and it only filled the to go box halfway, although it did taste very good the Korean barbecue sauce is awesome. I just think it’s a little pricey for something that is mostly lettuce and cabbage. I really want this place to be successful because we don’t have a lot of options up here on the summit, but I’m not sure if I’m going to go back again, seems expensive for...
