we actually saw this place featured on the local channels when we first arrived in Tahoe. we were visiting from the Bay area and for whatever reason it really stuck with my boyfriend and he insisted that we visited. they were closed Christmas eve and day so we didn't get to try it until Tuesday. it was worth the wait tho!!
he ordered a build your own beef burger (well done), and onion rings. I ordered a bison burger (medium) and a chocolate malt shake.
his burger was really yummy!! super juicy and the brioche bun paired amazing since it added a little sweetness to the savory burger. I felt like the onion rings were a bit greasy but otherwise were fine.
it was my first time trying bison meat, so I didn't know what to expect. I ended up not liking it as much as his burger, but that was just my personal taste. it was otherwise good!! i loved the malt shake as well, the chocolate flavor made it taste like a whopper. I'll start ordering malt shakes from now on :D we had to leave for home right after so we didn't get a chance to try this place again. if I ever come back, I will definitely make a stop here. so so happy we happened to come across it on the TV while...
Read moreFirst off, the FOOD was great, the PRICE was right, but the ROOM inside needs acoustic damping and workers who don't drag the friggin chairs around to "clean" while customers are in the dining area! BANG BANG BANG! Really? while you have customers who ARE NOT YET DEAF?
Ordering: You can either order via kiosk or "live" with a human.
Quality: The food is super good, my wife got an AHI burger that didn't kill her and made her happy. Definitely a cost effective choice in a pricey area!
Other: But the staff? one lady who worked there made END OF THE WORLD LEVEL NOISE for no friggin reason to "clean" and "arrange" the chairs. She dragged these metal chairs around, banging them and making so much noise it gave most of us headaches, and it went ON AND ON! BUY SOME FELT PADS or something.
For lord sake, teach your staff to be less dumb about cleaning tasks, or give customers EARPLUGS.
Add some acoustic damping. The sound level and the noise spoiled the whole experience. Really. Do better. 5 Star food, 1 star...
Read moreI went here because of a YouTube video recommending the place for the Bison Burger. I went there and was recommended the NV Elk Burger. Ordered that with sweet potato fries.
The burger was amazing. It was juicy, warm, and moist. The bread was not soggy. The lettuce was crisp. The patty was cooked amazingly. It didn't have a weird odor or texture. It honestly tasted almost like beef. There was a faint moment where I could smell something that didn't smell like beef, but it was faint, so I wasn't sure if that was elk smell.
The fries were also good. It was crunchy and crispy on the outside but soft in the inside. The seasoning was not overpowering, and I did get slight sweetness from it. With barbecue sauce, it was amazing.
If I were to complain for anything, it would have to be the price. But it'd be nitpicking at this point because good quality will come with a price. They did serve a fresh burger (at least I couldn't tell if it wasn't fresh). Two meals I ordered tasted good. I'd say this place is...
