I realized yesterday that I've been eating at this place almost since it opened in the 80s! And it still looks mostly the same though the menu is definitely updated. I had a turkey burger and it was great. I loved the pickled onions and the chipotle sauce plus the bun tasted really fresh. The Cole slaw side was really good too, glad I tried it. My mom had a French dip and really enjoyed it, and my husband the steak and eggs. The steak was a perfect medium rare and he especially liked the hash browns. Service was friendly and the prices were reasonable too. We will definitely be back.
Staff were friendly, local favorite casual spot. Service was quick. Had the quesadilla, it was good, just nothing extra special about it. Nice to see the restaurant updated and a new menu
My family and I came up for a family reunion and stayed at this casino/hotel. Every morning we ate here and I'd say it was pretty decent food. It was pretty packed everyday, there would be a line out the door of people waiting to be seated! The food was average, not too bad. The first day I got a Bloody Mary and French dip with potato salad. I believe for dinner that night I got grande burrito with rice and beans, it was nothing too special but I ate the whole thing. The next day my family wanted to eat here yet again lol, so I got the joeys breakfast bowl with a side of sourdough toast, it was pretty good. I believe one of the other nights my cousin and I came down a grabbed some of the brownies that were outside the restaurant where you pay! They were really good, but super rich!! I think this place was a decent enough spot to eat at, it gave me more of like brunch vibes.
Wow, can't believe it's been over 7 years since my last review here. I was passing through on a Friday night and wanted to check out the C V Steak place inside the Carson Valley Inn, cause I hear they have a killer dinner deal for $29 including three courses. But we get there and the place is closed and undergoing renovations. The sign says opening April 25th, so oh well, I guess we'll go to the coffee shop restauant Katies. They have a prime rib special $18.99 for a 10 oz. cut served with salad and baked potato with veggies. The service was fine, not as nice as sitting in the steakhouse, but the food gets the job done. My food came out as ordered, med rare perfect. I liked my piece had a bigger portion of edge cap meat going around the eye. That's the most tasty part! The baked potato was cook perfect and I slathered a ton of butter in it! I'd say is was a good deal for $18.99. I just have to come back when the C V Steak reopens.
Came early for breakfast. Good service and ambiance. Food is the usual fare with breakfast, lunch, and dinner i had the waffle with bacon and it was very good. Check it out.
We went to the Carson Valley Inn last night because we wanted to go to the CV Steak House. It was closed so we decided to eat at Katie's since we were there. I didn't have high expectations but was pleasantly surprised. My husband ordered the meatloaf dinner that came with soup or salad, mashed potatoes with gravy and sautéed vegetables. He ordered the chicken tortilla soup instead of the salad. He said everything was delicious. Nothing fancy, just good comfort food. I ordered the tater skins. They were a little burnt and overcooked but I decided to eat them instead of sending them back. To my surprise, they were quite tasty! Our waitress, Jeana, was friendly and very efficient. If you are going out to eat for just good food with no frills or ambiance, try Katie's.
Had the prime rib on Saturday it was fantastic! Got it medium rare and was fantastic as was the service!
If you wanna grab some grub and a good price and good portions look no further. It's nice about this place is that it has a fairly large dining area. Even when it's crowded I've never had to wait long to get a table. The menu consist of some basic diner food as well as some more pricey options. My main go to is either the chicken Parm meal which I think is only $10. The breakfast burritos is good, so is the chicken fried steak. Also ask them about their daily deal being that it changes. I've been here quite a handful of times and I've never had a rude server. Yes, sometimes you do have to wait a little. Through patients in perseverance you will endure. The bakery case on the outside of the restaurant. Is a little more miss than hit. I've tried both the brownie as well as the cupcakes. I believe that they're a little dry. Other than that, I like stopping by here when I'm gonna grab a quick bite that won't drain my wallet.
Excellent food and service. Came in for fried chicken night. We also ordered the Cajun Alfredo with shrimp and broiled salmon. All desserts were delicious and freshly baked.
We been coming here for years as we go to Tahoe often and stop on the way up the hill or back down. Always been great food until now. It had been awhile since we ate here and the food was terrible. We met with friends for breakfast since it was too windy for the Balloon Races. They never been here and so we told them what a great place it was to eat. It was an embarrassment an we won't be back. Too many other good places to eat. Here are the complaints: 1. Our guests ordered a scramble and it came on a huge plate in a tiny cup. The plate was empty. Toast was separate and came much later. And early in the morning they were out of sourdough bread. 2. One of our guests ordered the bacon and eggs, it was slimy and the hash browns were burned. 3. My omelet was over-cooked and rubbery and very dry inside. No taste at all even with the filling (chili peppers and spinach). The forgot the cheese. How do you get an omelet with no cheese unless you order it that way? 4. The rye bread was so dry and stale that smothered in butter it was still hard to swallow. 5. Our server was not friendly and did not want to be bothered with anything other than running from table to table. We would have sent every plate back to the kitchen except we did not want to embarrass our friends. They were not happy with their meals either and it reflected on us since we told them how great the restaurant was for meals. This place needs a new manager and new cooks.....ones that can actually cook a decent meal.
Well, I have found one redeeming dish here at Katie's, and that'd be the Monte Christo Sandwich! Very few place even offer this sandwich much less do it right! Another deal I found here is the 1/2 carafe of house wine, it's just $4.00! 4 bucks for what amounts to 3 and a little bit more glasses of wine. House wine is $3.00 a glass , so getting the 1/2 carafe is a deal! You can even order a whole bottle of just $8.00! Such a deal! My Monte Christo sandwich was perfect, basically a deep fried french toast sandwich layered with turkey, ham and cheese with an extra french toast in the middle, what's not to like? Served with fries and a wonderful house made raspberry syrup dipping sauce. Get this id you come here, just for something different!

Pre-concert dinner with family. Arrived early because of the concert crowd on a Saturday night. Service was prompt, friendly, and the restaurant had a warm, "down home" feel. Food was delicious. Had the chucken apple walnut salad with a vinaigrette dressing. My son had the chucke strios, chocolate cake and ice cream. Perfect! read more

Would definitely recommend them for breakfast. The hash browns were perfectly cooked (and not greasy). The eggs whites were a bit underdone for me but that was minor. The hostess was friendly. Waitstaff on the ball. They're doing pretty well. read more

This place is a regular stop when traveling the 395. I always get the chicken parmesan. Is it the best? No...BUT it is pretty damn good for the price. We've always had great service and most of the items on the menu are solid country cooking. You are garunteed to leave full. Their desserts are pretty, but everytime I get one it just seems a little more on the bland side but it curbs my sweet tooth so I can't complain too much. read more

I figured if I'm an hour plus to make it home to cook, why not stop here to try their dinner offerings. I ordered their 12 oz prime rib medium rare, it comes with soup or salad, choice of potatoes or rice and veggies. The salad was nothing special but I asked for ceasar dressing and the was an additional upcharge for ceasar dressing, really!, the vegetables were diced squash that was an afterthought because they were way way overcooked. I did not know of many restaurants that don't know how to properly cook prime rib but this was one of them. They literally ruined a perfectly good piece of meat by brining the prime rib. Prime rib should not be ruined by brining it, The meat was overly salty due to the brining method. I think if I'm ever in the vicinity again, I will either try another restaurant or try their chicken fried steak instead. read more

Katie's has constantly good food at an awesome price. I have eaten here many time and have always been happy with the food and the service. Sunday morning's special is why I am reviewing Katie's. Grilled pork chops, eggs, and hash browns for $9.99 what a bargain!!! Tip: Get the biscuit as your bread option with a side of gravy, $1.00, smother the pork cops an biscuit with gravy and wow that is a great meal!!! Katie's is in the Carson Valley Inn Casino, it in a bit dated but clean. read more

0 's Undercooked Wings, Broken Promises, and Zero Respect - I'm Done with Katie's My girlfriend's birthday was Friday the 13th, 2025, and she wanted wings from Katie's at Carson Valley Inn, her go-to spot. What should've been a fun night turned sour fast. While eating our wings we noticed they were severely undercooked! Raw enough to be a health hazard. It killed the vibe and left us both upset. This wasn't just a bad meal; it was unacceptable. I called Katie's right away. They said they were too busy and a manager would call me back. Never happened. The next day, I called again, and they had no record of my issue--like my complaint vanished. They told me to wait for the general manager. Big surprise, no call. I called a third time, and they offered me a $25 coupon. For food that could've made us sick? Not only that, but the no call backs left a bad taste in my mouth. I asked for a refund; they refused because I didn't have my receipt. I didn't expect I would need it. I didn't know the wings wouldn't be safe to eat, otherwise I would have saved my receipt. My mistake. This is beyond frustrating. Katie's showed zero care for their customers or food safety. Their management dropped the ball, and their "solution" was a slap in the face. I lived in the valley my whole life and I used to enjoy this place, but I'm done. They treated me like an issue, when I was the one given undercooked wings. I won't eat here again, Keep your receipt if you go, and don't hold your breath for a callback. Pro Tip: Save your receipt, because Katie's won't back you up without one. Better yet, eat somewhere that values you. read more
This place has very reasonable food prices for what you get. It's extremely convenient and the daily specials are good. I had the pork chops, and they were thin and dry. Mashed potatoes and gravy were great, however. We got the ham steak breakfast several times and it's fantastic. Largest and juciest ham steak I have ever had. Tried the shrimp louie and it was loaded with shrimp. Unfortunately, theThousand Island dressing is terrible. Service is decent but you have to track someone down to get your drink refilled. read more

Came here on a work trip for a week and we ate breakfast here everyday. Steak and eggs here are half the price that they should be. Small thing to also brag on them about is their sourdough toast. Top notch. read more
