The beer was great! Mixed drinks were excellant. They make their own ginger syrup for a Moscow Mule. We cannot say enough good about our server, Courtney. She made us feel at home. She made us laugh. We felt like family. If you are ever anywhere near Donners Lake, this is the place to go

Great customer service really defines a business and I personally experienced that here. Brian, the…read moreowner took the time to speak with me personally, was professional, attentive and genuinely cared about my experience. As a business owner myself in the service industry, I really appreciate this level of customer care and vibe. At the end of the day it's your actions and how you treat your customers that people remember. It's so important to have that level of openness and accessibility, and when people know they can talk to the manager and have a great conversation. Overall, it was a great experience and great people. I'll definitely be bringing my family back to enjoy the food and beautiful Donner Lake. Highly recommend! Thank you, Brian, and to your Team!

I recently went to Truckee and tried Old Town Tap. We got there and found spots at the bar really…read morefast. They were playing one of the soccer games on the TVs, which was fun to watch. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and it's actually pretty spacious inside. We did have to wait a little bit to get a menu, but once we got one, we ordered our drinks and food. We got the Margherita pizza, and it was SO good! I loved how crispy the crust was. When you picked up a slice, it didn't just flop over. It stayed nice and crispy. It had so much flavor, and I was seriously so happy with it. I also got the Help Wanted drink, and it was really good too. I think I found my new favorite pizza spot! If you're ever in the area, I definitely recommend stopping by. I'm already planning to go back so I can try more of their pizzas and appetizers!

I'll keep it simple. Good food…read more Decent pseudo-old town vibe. Laughably poor service. It felt more like a bunch of friends hanging out after school, not like employees actually looking after their guests. Definitely got the feeling they'd rather be anywhere else but there. Too busy scrolling on their phones, looking for something to watch on tv, or just chit-chattin it up with each other. Takeaway: No sense that guests are the job. That pattern usually shows up when nobody on the floor is actually running the room. Ownership or management has not decided that service is part of the product. The kitchen is being held to a standard. The floor is not.

If you ask me for places that stand out in the greater Reno-Tahoe region brew scene, The Good Wolf…read morewould be near the top of the list. For years now, I've been saying these guys make some of the best, most unique beers in our area. And anyone looking for a solid pint or some creative things to try, would do well to swing by. Firstly, I absolutely love the location. It's a cozy little spot in the north Truckee industrial area. But step through the doors, and you enter a space that can only be described as a mix of hippy commune and witch's lair, with some delightfully quirky decor, and an incredibly friendly staff. Really does feel like a hidden gem. But as for r the beers themselves; in short, I think these are some of the best quality, and most niche types of brews you'll find around here. They have a smaller menu, but what they have is dominated by their Forest Beer series. These are concoctions made with all sorts of foraged ingredients from the forests, fields, and farms close to Truckee. Always changing, it is something to try out. The Borrowed Bines used fresh cut hops, the Bay Shore uses locally culled bay leaves, the Range of Light uses picked juniper berries, and the Dirt Candy uses mushrooms that grow in the woods. They also have been breaking into brewing their own apple cider, which is delicious but quite strong. Plus, they will usually have N/A options with their house lemonade or brewed soda on tap, too. So yeah, the menu almost certainly has something for everyone. Prices for everything are pretty typical.for the area, usually around $8-9 per pint. Though my one sort of gripe is that the smaller 4-5 ounce tasters are like $4 each, a bit pricier than most other tasters, so that makes it quickly more pricy to try out a lot of their menu. If you want any beers to-go, sadly they only offer a few at this juncture, and in bottles. And there is no food here, just a few snacks for sale. But make sure to browse their swag stands, as they have some eclectic merch. All in all, I definitely encourage any beer fans to come and check this spot out. Been one of my favorites for years, and I'll bet it can easily become one of yours, too. Cheers, all!

I was able to skip the long food line to just order beers a couple times. Casual atmosphere with lots of communal tables and some TVs. I tried their lager, which I enjoyed.

Very warm and very friendly to talk with. She was always checking on me to make sure my water glass was full and how b my meal was. Super nice person!! The beet salad is "To Die For!" The dressing on this fabulous! So tasty it's addicting! The beets, candied walnuts and cheese mixed with the arugula was such a fantastic and delicious combo! I'd drive 4 hours just for this salad! The all meat pizza is delicious! The tangy tomato sauce is a very welcomed change of flavor when compared to other pizzas. The sour dough crust is a welcome change too! Very tasty with the tasty meat toppings! The beer flight I had was delicious! I liked the first one a lot! I'm not a very big drinker but I liked the first one. The stout is very delicious too with a fairly strong coffee flavor. All the beers were very yummy!

We found Donner Creek Brewing, and we're glad that we did! Here's what we noticed: - Really great selection of beers, including some very interesting ones. A couple were a bit smokey, which we liked (especially the mango one)! My wife and I split a flight of four 5-ounce pours, which enabled us to try a brand range of types. - Comfortable, relaxed vibe with a great playlist. A bunch of different seating areas, including at the bar, provided lots of options. - The person working the bar was chatty, which we like, since it gives us a chance to learn more about the brewery, etc. Bottom line: We're glad that we found Donner Creek Brewing and will definitely be back!

Sysco/Aramark must be the supplier now, because the quality was not the Truckee Tavern we remember from years back. Their food used to be high end (and worth it) but now ingredients and kitchen are producing Applebees level dishes for high prices. If costs are the issue, serve better ingredients cooked with love and expertise, in smaller portions. Also, dear manager - on a night where seating is 50% cap or less, no one should ever have to wait at the host stand for 10 minutes to be seated.
