We had breakfast here - full buffet. The options were good and mostly fresh (sometimes pastries were a bit stale, maybe our late morning breakfast). Cereal bar, porridge station, dumplings, pastries. There were 4 hot items: fried rice, bacon, potatoes, waffles/pancakes. There's also an omelette station. Overall pretty decent, food tasted pretty average, but good selection. Service was net neutral for us. One day we had a great server who was very attentive, and the next day we had someone who didn't seem like they wanted to be there. Came by to get us drinks once and the next time was to ask if we were ready for the bill. The restaurant itself has great views situated at the corner of a building. Try to get seated next to the window. read more

Solid buffet in Tahoe for the value. Omelette bar that also do sandwiches. They have pancakes and waffles to order as well. Bagels, bread, pastries galore! Solid selection of breakfast foods, but limited on fruit and we pulled a peach that had mold on it .... When we told one of the servers he just said okay and didn't grab the rest of the peaches or anything ... that was off putting and why they only get a 4. Nice views if you get sat by the window. read more

Breakfast buffet was excellent with a nice variety. They had an omelette bar and some Asian options like fried rice and dumplings, in addition to the usual continental breakfast offerings. Five stars for the breakfast buffet! Dinner buffet was a let down. Very few options with no seafood or chicken. Nice ambiance with views of the resort. Seating was slow even though there were open tables. Service was good otherwise. read more

A good buffet. Lots of options but the food is so so. Like the omelette station. Wish they had some fun additions like avocado etc. but overall a solid choice. Staff is super nice. read more

Cascades Sunday 6/6/2021 Breakfast Tremendously enjoyed amazing breakfast spread at Cascades on a Sunday morning following my arrival to Resort at Squaw Creek in Tahoe. Reminded me of Sheraton's breakfast & brunch buffet in Rome, Italy. Cibo molto gustoso! It's all about freshness, ambience, presentation. Molto saporito! Cheeses & fruits to begin with.. strawberries, pineapple, honey dew.. smoked salmon slice with a dab of chive-onion cream cheese, fresh cucumber slice, capers.. without the bagel, no carbs! Laughing, let's see if I have enough willpower:) Whet that appetite! Omelette station! Freshly cooked savory omelets & eggs over easy.. or scramble, in front of your very eyes.. mmmm, delectable! May I please add a piece of bacon to that! Pancakes & waffles at the chef's station, cover them in blueberries, add strawberries, these are my yummy toppings, skip the syrups & caramels! Freshly squeezed grapefruit & a cup of French press Java please, no cream! Morning started.. A cocktail, anyone?! Here are your buffet choices at Cascades: Fresh Start Fresh sliced seasonal fruits, whole fruit baskets Selection of assorted cereals, house-made granola Seasonal yogurt parfaits, oatmeal, Chef's daily smoothie Charcuterie & cheese platter Smoked salmon with accompaniments, bagels Chef's Station Chef's daily special omelets & eggs any style, made to order Breakfast potatoes Bacon & local pork sausage Pancakes, waffles, assorted toppings Chocolate, maple syrup, caramel topping Baker's Oven Selection of freshly baked Danish pastries Breakfast bread Fresh baked muffins Daily baker's pastry choice Assorted croissants Cream cheeses Orange marmalade, strawberry jam Selection of juices, freshly made coffee, and gourmet hot tea selections, cocktails, french press, or specialty coffees The honey bee that fetch the nectar from the flowers to the comb Never tired of ever buzzing to and fro Because they take a little nip from every flower that they sip And hence (And hence) They find (They find) Their task is not a grind Ah, ah, ah! read more

So your onsite and you want a buffet, here is where you want to go... maybe for the hefty amount of $30/adult and $16/kid you may want to try other options, let me break down everything they have to offer Buffets are great when done right, this place is a pass, I do not recommend you eat here unless your going thru 2 plate minimum with the party that goes with you. If your kids eat like canaries and your spouse this is not the place for you haha. Why are the eggs so runny, scrambled eggs are more wet then the cereal my kids have on a daily basis, why so runny? selection of breakfast goods, here is the plus in my book, omelette station is where everything you want is, add, bell peppers, mushrooms, peppercini's, bacon, sausage, etc and what kind of cheese, properly made and delicious. For meats they have bacon some crunchy some chewy, go for the darker ones definitely can't go wrong with crunchy bacon, medium fatty sized sausage, grab 2 your first round to get a taste and see if you want more, ham...ham why?? haha, just don't like ham. chilaquiles (chips and cheese with sauce and sides of avocado, tomatoes) not my favorite and I had to pass just cause it looks like it had been sitting out longer then few hours and it was only 8am. Breads - bagels (multiple choices) chive cream cheese, strawberry cream cheese, plain cream cheese, lox (salmon slices), some with seeds some without, bagels are definitely a plus. several option of toast, sourdough, wheat, whole grain, sadly no english butter and whip are right in front of these offerings, jams there where 2 dark jam and that yellow orangish type marmalade. The waffles precut in 4 portions, piping hot, premade not self made (have one see if you like it), my kids one said it was to dense (11yr old) the other said it tasted funny (6yr old), sampled I thought it was fine, slightly dense outside and softer towards the middle, slap some butter then syrup softened it up real quick. cereal options - fruit loops, fruity pebbles, cherrios, honey bunches of oats, I believe 2 others were out there but I passed on all of these options. Parfait - not super creamy, not sweet, blueberries and raspberries feathered on top, I would pass on this dish in a cup juices - they are abundant, cran, orange, and two others didn't sample stuck with ice cold water, kids had milk wife had whole pitcher of coffee to herself lol chacuterie section, several cheeses, 3 meats, prosciutto was the only meat I could identify the others looked sadly dried out. again if you like buffets and don't want to leave campus I guess this is your only option but if all your family eats like canaries this is not the place you want to go, several other food options about 12 min out. food *** just stick with the omelette bar, crunchy bacon, and sausage price $$$ service **** helpful waitresses ambiance **** clean read more

Great place for breakfast. We were staying at the Everline and this restaurant is very convenient especially during snowing. Food is also great read more

Best breakfast buffet I've had! They had so many options, and all of the food was great! I made sure I tried some of everything. Sticky buns: Show stopper, a MUST HAVE. I had like 3 of these my first day there, and had no regrets! They're warm and have just the right amount of cinnamon. I can't even find the right words to describe this heavenly dish. French toast: Perfectly cooked, another must try. Waffles: Were a little cold and not crispy at all. I didn't even finish the quarter piece I took. Scrambled eggs: Great! Bacon: Crispy, soft, you can have your pick! Smoked salmon: It was really good the first day, but didn't seem fresh the second time in. Omelette bar: I don't think its possible to go wrong with a build your own omelette place that has about 15 topping options! Pasties: The cheese danish was good, buy my favorite was one that had a sweet filling and powdered sugar on the top. Probably had a hint of cinnamon too. I couldn't stop having them. Frittata: the usual. Oatmeal: Tried to be healthy, so I had some of this, definitely made the right decision. Strawberries: Some were fresh some weren't, but I guess that always happens. read more

Located on the bottom floor of the main resort building, the view is fantastic! We came here because we had a breakfast voucher for the breakfast buffet. The buffet is from 7AM - 11AM so you have plenty of time to fill up before heading to the slopes or whatever big activity you have planned for the day. We went around 11AM on a Sun and luckily there wasn't any wait. Since it wasn't too busy, we were able to request to sit next to the windows (which I highly recommend). Buffet Pricing: $24 Adults / $12 Children *~Fresh Start Station~* Sliced Seasonal Fruit Fruit Baskets filled w/ Apples, Oranges, Bananas Assorted Cereal Hot 9 Grain Cereal House-made Granola Assorted Greek Yogurt *~Chef's Station~* French Toast Omelets & Eggs (Any Style, Made-to-Order) Pancakes (Assorted Candy Toppings, Whipped Cream, and Sweet Breakfast Syrup to top) Waffles Breakfast Potatoes w/ Tri-colored Bell Peppers & Onions Bacon Local Pork Sausage Traditional Eggs Benedict *~Baker's Oven Station~* Fresh Baked Danish Pastries, Muffins, Banana Bread Daily Baker's Pastry Choice White & Wheat Sliced Bread Regular & Chocolate Covered Croissants Wild Flower Honey Comb Regular & Strawberry Cream Cheese Orange Marmalade & Strawberry jam *~Continental~* ($18) An assortment of Fresh Fruit, Greek Yogurt, Hot Nine Grain Cereal, and Pastries made fresh in house *~A La Carte Breakfast~* $24 Adults / $12 Children *Includes Continental Items +2 Eggs (Any Style) w/ Bacon or Sausage, Breakfast Potatoes & Toast +Make Your Own Omelet: ham, Onions, Mushrooms, Peppers, Tomatoes, Spinach, Choice of Cheese +Traditional Eggs Benedict +Buttermilk Pancakes +Belgian Waffles w/ Fresh Strawberries +Cinnamon Dusted French Toast w/ Fresh Strawberries & Sliced Bananas Drinks: Selection of Juices, Fresh Brewed Coffee & Gourmet Hot Tea Selections Mimosa Bar: $12 Bloody Mary Bar: $10 Note: 18% Gratuity for parties of 6+ They have a Make-Your-Own-Bloody-Mary Bar and a Mimosa Bar if you'd like one with your breakfast but it's not included with the buffet. I love how you can customize your omelets (yes, they have egg whites only as well). They didn't skimp out on them and were very thick and fluffy. The waffle was crispy and very airy. The bacon & pork sausages were crispy but not burnt. I also loved the fresh honeycomb as I put that w/ my hot water and on a bit of toast. They had an interesting assortment of toppings (Crumbled Oreos, Candy, Jams, Chocolate Syrup, etc) for your pancakes which were way too sweet for me. Lots of pastries were available if that's what you like for breakfast. A bunch of artisan breads with cold cuts were also laid out along side the fresh fruit. A good assortment of choice that were constantly re-stocked. Dishes frequently cleared and drinks re-filled. Definitely a great way to start the day. read more

We spent my husband Devin's birthday at Resort at Squaw creek and enjoyed a tasty breakfast at Cascades. There was a great selection of delicious food and the views were amazing! The hosting staff, the lady and gentlemen were wonderful and made our dining experience special. I didn't get their names but it was the morning of 10/25. Much thanks to them for their kindness and for all their great attention. We really appreciate them and am looking forward to our next trip. read more

I've enjoyed many breakfast meals over the years at Cascades. On September 10, 2022, many of our wedding guests, as well as myself, enjoyed a delicious and leisurely buffet breakfast. The array of selections, quality and quantity of food was excellent. In addition, the servers are so friendly and attentive. Many of them have been there for years and feel like old friends when I am visiting. Many thanks to Heidi, Nancy, Jon and the whole team for a great experience. Hope to see you again soon! read more

This review is for the breakfast buffet only, but...oh, my, what a buffet. We've done many a breakfast buffet over the years, but Cascades had potentially the best we've experienced. It's not huge by any means, but had the kind of extras that make it a winner. Example: Squaw Creek is a family-friendly resort, and instead of simply providing the 3 or 4 cold cereals you typically see -- they had 9. But don't be deceived -- this is not Golden Corral. The baker/pastry chef was a maniac -- such a great variety of breads, pastries, etc. The omelets and other made-to-order eggs were excellent, there were two kinds of dumplings, excellent waffles and French toast, oatmeal -- you get the idea. Everything just seemed to have a little extra touch to it. Had to force myself to stop. Honestly, if I was only doing one in-house meal at Squaw Creek -- it might be here (and that's not a knock on the others). Definitely worth a visit. read more

While we stayed at Squaw Creek, we were lucky enough to have a breakfast package that allowed us a morning meal at Cascades each day. We were able to enjoy made-to-order omelettes, fresh fruit, pastries, yogurts, cereal, granola, eggs, bacon, and a variety of other breakfast foods as part of a package. Because it was included in our cost, the breakfast was totally worth it, lasting until 11AM each day. Unless we were skiing, we would go around 10:30, and weren't generally hungry again until dinner time! The service was wonderful, and our waiter remembered us each day, proactively bringing us drinks and asking about our stay. The views of the mountain are unbelievable, and you can watch skiers reach the bottom and take the lift back up the mountain as you eat. If we hadn't had the breakfast package, the meal would have cost us $60 ($50+ $10 tip) for two people each day, which is a LOT more than is reasonable for what you're getting. While the food is great, I'd be hard pressed to pay that for a daily breakfast... that said, if you can get the package, go for it!!! It's super convenient and the selection is great. read more

Beautiful views, super friendly staff and relaxing. The home made Pico de Gallo was tasty and went great with the made to order omelettes. Eggs benedict were a little dry but they had lots of other options. They had a very good selection of pastries as well as fruit my son definitely approved. read more

Cascades - This place gets a thumbs up! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

Delicious breakfast buffet to send us off from our Tahoe weekend. Originally advertised as the buffet at the Six Peaks Grille, it's just a short stairway downstairs to the Cascades restaurant (though it doesn't open as a regular restaurant, nor is it listed as one of the dining options on the Resort at Squaw Creek website). Anyway, as it is Easter Sunday, a special buffet was being offered in another area of the resort. No wait to get a table at Cascades. Made to order omelet station, hot area with pancakes, french toast, roast potatoes, and the biggest mound of sausages and crispy, crispy bacon I've ever seen. Another large table of fruits galore, yogurt, cereal, even smoked salmon. And then yet another table of buns, toast and bagels. Stuffed ourselves silly before our long drive home. Great way to start a day, and to end a mini-vacation. Service was good. Coffee and beverages offered before we even sat down. Dishes cleared as soon as we emptied them. NOTE - they add 18% gratuity to the bill, so make sure you read it before adding on additional tip. read more

Ah ok $51.00 dollars buffet breakfast for two would not mind spending the money if it was that much better than the average hotel American breakfast. Pastries, cereal, milk yogurt, omelets, bacon and eggs. Next time will cook our own breakfast in our room which tasted ten times better read more

Fantastic brunch!!! Loved the eggs Benedict and French toast!! Family friendly too!! Free valet parking if you spend $50.

What a great place for breakfast! The views of Squaw and the valley are amazing. The food is buffet style, and you can also order made to order breakfast items. The Bloody Mary bar is so fun! And Heidi gave us friendly, excellent service! read more

Amazing breakfast buffet. The sticky buns! The waffles! Oh my goodness, so much deliciousness.

A few weeks ago Cascades started to a new dining concept. We were there this evening. For $25 per adult, you choose - -2 entrees for your table. Then you get up to put together -a simple green salad with field greens, cakes, radish and fennel shavings, croutons and 3 dressings. -there's also a chef's choice of soup(today's was minestrone. Not bad but the celery and carrots felt like freeze dried and rehydrated -Then you select from a decent assortment of desserts. (Strawberry filled eclairs, colorful layered cake, Apple squares, chocolate dipped strawberries, and a tiny dessert of a thin chocolate thimble filled with custard and topped with a raspberry, etc) -this all came with dinner buns and salt sprinkled butter , and coffee and tea. Today's entrees were Prime Rib Chicken roast Vegetarian pasta Bouillabaisse that had scallops Enjoy! read more

This place is AMAZING!!! Great food, excellent service, beautiful views !! You have to try the Avocado Toast, it is so yummy, and the caper relish on top is so good!! For service, Susan and Heidi were the best in town, always accommodating, cheerful, hospitable, and great sense of humor!!! They were superb!! Couldn't have asked for better hospitality!! We enjoyed this place!! Very clean, quiet location for off-season dining!! Thank you, Cascades!! read more

Literally, this is the WORST breakfast I've ever had. The omelette was full of oil and uncooked. They ran out of their microwaved bacon and dried out eggs Benedict. Not to mention it's 25 dollars a person. Biggest rip off. I ended paying 25 dollars to eat cereal, oh but of course they were out of milk. I'm so disgusted by this place. Crooks. Save yourself the trouble and go to McDonalds, much better quality food. read more

Cascades - Oily and uncooked. You definitely don't get what you pay for. 25 dollars...not worth it. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

We chose to come to this buffet for Christmas dinner. The food was good, a large selection, not much for a vegetarian to pick from which was a tad disappointing. The desert table was filled with ice cream, cookies, cakes, pies, and it was pretty good! My favorite was the salmon and the dinner rolls. They had a lot of meat and seafood dishes along with a nice salad bar and a kids bar filled with french fries, mac and cheese and chicken fingers. The staff was decent, not extremely polite.....We were not impressed when we got the bill and the waitress told us the tip was included but we can giver her more because she has to split it with the rest of the staff. First off, we are good tippers if we think you deserve it, but if you have to mention to give you more money, then something is off. Best thing about this place was the view. You sit next to the big glass windows and you look out to beautiful mountains filled with snow! read more

Have a few options for vegans. Fresh fruit, juice, oatmeal, granola, and muesli. Soy milk for cereal is available upon request. But the best part was the omelet chef made us sautéed veggies on a pan that hadn't touched eggs. The potatoes were great but no guarantee they were butter-free read more

Incredible service. Brandon, the waiter we had our entire stay, was one of those rare servers who really loves his job because he genuinely cares about helping people. He even has great sightseeing & hiking tips! His manager, Andrew, was also very warm & inviting. The food was excellent & price was very reasonable but what really kept us returning daily was the service! Especially for a buffet, it made for a most pleasant experience! read more

Read some good reviews for the weekend breakfast buffet so we decided to try it out after mediocre service at six peaks the night before. The food was OK, the omlette station was the best thing with the potatoes, bacon and other breakfast fair far below par especially for a high end resort. Though the food was a disappointment the service was not what was expected for the money. We will not return for dining at this resort. read more

Being that I was staying at this resort, it was the only restaurant that looked decent and had outdoor seating. Ordered the burger and chicken and waffle. The burger was a tad bit dry , even with it being medium rare. The chicken wasn't too bad, not too dry. However, oh boy was the waffle horrible! It was dry and tasted stale. I would have returned it, but ended up not Doing so. read more

Great breakfast selections, great staff. Try to go early on weekends (during summer) or prepare for a long line and wait.

This was our 2nd time here on our annual Thanksgiving trip. The hostess was wonderful, but the waitress was awful. She needs to write stuff down or something, because she just kept forgetting everything we asked for and then bringing stuff we didn't ask for instead. The coffee was not good and the buffet is $24 and the only thing I liked was the waffle. It was amazing, but not worth $24. The only reason we keep coming back is it is conveniently located inside the Resort at Squaw Creek where we stay and with the Groupon you get a daily $25 dining credit. We always end up having to wait about 15-45 minutes for a table depending on the time of morning. It's a bonus if you get seated near the window. The view is beautiful. read more

I cannot remember the bartenders name but he was awesome. Seriously one of the best bartenders I've been serviced by. Came here after a long day out in the snow. Didn't dine here (just drinks and an appetizer at the bar). Their signature drinks are a bit different, but good. Had the jalapeño poppers - not bad. Would do 3.5 stars but his service made everything. read more

Similar to the other restaurants located at Squaw Creek, the food is really poor. My wife and I had the buffet and there is no way to say it other than it was bad. Waffles and pancakes tasted like they'd been under the heat lamp for a week and my wife's omelet had a hair in it. I normally wouldn't care that much because it is a buffet but we paid like 50 bucks for the experience...but great views!! read more
