I've stopped here several times for a quick bite, but this visit made me question whether it's worth coming back. Mel's would have been a much better option. I also found the pricing disappointing. Paying $20 for a BLT feels ridiculous, especially when the prices don't match what's listed on the menu. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place and will probably choose somewhere else next time.

I found some restaurants that were rated highly on Yelp so I decided to go to Sasquatch Tavern and Grill. I ordered the English Fish & Chips to go. The meal included some delicious cold slaw. I had a little picnic with my little dog, Charlie at The California State Park of Donner Memorial and I was amazed at how delicious and authentically traditional & prepared the Old English battered fish with Old English Chips (French Fried Potatoes with Vinegar) tasted! I grew up in San Francisco and trust and believe, I have enjoyed many different cultures of authentic cuisines. This Tavern & Grill really impressed me! The service was very cordial, efficient and friendly, a few different people engaged with me about places to go see, in Verdi, such as parks and about the historic town of Verdi. I hope that my review will help others to discover a hidden gem in a small, beautiful town, nestled in the foothills of The Sierra Nevada Mountains! Bon Appétit!

They also serve breakfast, so you can easily make this a morning stop or come by later for drinks and a big meal. Great drinks, huge portions, reasonable prices, welcoming staff, and an atmosphere that doesn't take itself too seriously. Definitely a place we'll be back to!

It's the first time I've had Peet's that it tasted old and reheated. I needed some half and half because the carafe was almost empty and I wanted some fresh cream, so I approached the counter again. Megan, why did you ask me to fetch the carafe so you could fill it? Couldn't you have simply added some half and half to my coffee or given me a small side?

And the waitress didn't disappear after we received our food and checked in frequently. We ordered fish n chips. Very crisp. A cheeseburger and sliders. For kids sliders it could have been an adult meal! Huge portion. The fries were tasty and delicious. It was relaxing out on the patio with a nice tunes playing overhead. Overall we would return.

After years of corporate chef life, Terry, co-owner and ice cream mix master, and his wife, co-owner, stepped out on their own and created Nice Cream to bring the joys of liquid nitrogen ice cream to our community. It doesn't hur that they're just as sweet as the treats they serve, and they really know how to handle their customers so well, making everyone feel welcome and involved, right down to the youngest! I got to try the S'mores creation that has chocolate ice cream, marshmallows, and of course, graham crackers! The marshmallows don't freeze in the process, which is super cool! I enjoyed it a lot. I would say if you're doing a waffle cone though, go for a double scoop! They came out on an a la carte basis for us, but for a party they offer a fixed rate to serve guests for a set amount of time, and it's super affordable! Again, if you want to impress your guests and have a lot of fun, Nice Cream is the way to do it!
