We visited Graeagle in the middle of September and we really enjoyed our stay. The friends that we were visiting recommended Longboards and so we all went together for a Sunday afternoon lunch and happy hour on the deck. I'll be honest in saying that the service was so so and the food was just so so as well, but what we really truly loved about our experience was the view and the open seating on the beautiful wraparound deck. It's a neat place to grab a few drinks and maybe have an appetizer but other than that I'd recommend just going and chilling and relaxing. read more

Longboards Bar & Grill - New American Near Me - Blairsden-Graeagle, California

Meghan was our server and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!!! She was so attentive and on point, we loved her!!!!

Ambiance is a a 5 Star. We ate on the deck and it was gorgeous. I had a Mai Tai and it was as good as Merriman's on Maui. I'd come back for drinks and the view. I had the Wedge Salad. I ordered a full and was brought a half portion. The salad was good but there was too much dressing. More bacon and tomatoes would make it better. We also ordered the Fish and Chips. They were overdone, and hard to bite into. The coating was too hard. Our server was nice, still very green. We had good company and perfect weather. I'd plan to come back for drinks read more

Mixed experience with both highlights and head-scratchers. We tried to call ahead to make a reservation but no one answered the phone, so we walked over--it's a short stroll across the golf course from our vacation rental. When we arrived, four parties were already waiting (about 10 people total), and there was no host or hostess in sight. It was a bit of a free-for-all. Eventually, someone emerged and began seating the reservation-holders, while the rest of us were told to wait so the kitchen could "catch up." This was at 5:45pm on a Monday. Apparently Mondays are like their Fridays--understandable, but still: if you know it's your busiest day, maybe staff accordingly? We waited at the bar, where the bartender was kind and attentive. Kids had Shirley Temples, and my husband had a margarita that he described as one of the best he's had. We also ordered the bread and butter ($8): whole-wheat sourdough with garlic butter--very tasty and helped bridge the gap while we waited to be seated. After an hour, we were finally seated on the patio. It was a warm day, and the indoor area didn't seem to be air conditioned, so the fresh air was welcome--and the view was fantastic. Once seated, service picked up. Water and menus arrived after about 10 minutes. Here's how dinner shook out: * Fish & Chips (husband): Very good. * Kids' Mac & Cheese (8yo): Surprisingly excellent--tasted homemade. * Kids' Cheese Pizza + Caprese (12yo): Pizza was overly crusty, but the caprese was a hit. * Blue Cheese Wedge w/ Chicken (me): Unfortunately drowned in dressing. The chicken was dry, and the salad was so soaked I couldn't eat most of it. Dressing on the side would've made a big difference. * Food Timing: Everyone's food came out together--except mine (the salad), which arrived 5-10 minutes later. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, and the setting is great. But the overall experience felt disorganized and slow, and the prices are on the high side for what you get. That said, with better staffing and a few tweaks (like dressing on the side), this could have been a much better night out. TL;DR: Great view, good drinks, and some solid dishes--offset by long wait times, understaffing, and one poorly executed salad. Worth a visit if you're nearby and not in a rush, but come with patience (and maybe a reservation... if someone picks up). read more

I would give 5 stars for the view on the back deck at sunset. 1 star for the food. Go for drinks only (which were good kudos to the bartender) skip the food maybe the chef was drunk the night we went so it was an off night?? We had 7 of us. Out of all the fried food items including chicken wings, fries and Cod they were all so over fried you could not eat them. Salads were sopping wet with way too much dressing. Orders were mixed up and then the bill was incorrect and never adjusted....the server was very sweet but even though she had been working a month was clueless. Place has a lot of potential if they can get it managed better. read more

This restaurant has so much potential. #1 our food was delicious! They were clearly busy - turned away others without reservations, we were seated without any menus, our server was profusely apologetic about her service, the manager stepped in to take our order, etc. #2 the view on the patio is beautiful! Our reservation was 6pm and all the fully shaded tables were taken, so we took the liberty to move our table around to provide more shade. #3 the staff was very friendly! We were in town for a busy weekend (July craft fair) and it's a small town so likely "staffing up" isn't even possible. I will say that if our experience is similar in future visits....our opinion will sour. read more

As an establishment it's great. Very accommodating and modern as possible given the area and what available. From a customer and locally known chef food is ok. Descriptions aren't correctly described. Execution from the staffing available is par for the area. Bar food not casual fine dining. Priced decently worth the stop. Ask the bar tenders about the craft cocktail specials. read more

I'm going to keep trying to like this place as we have a vacation home nearby and would like to have a place where we feel welcome and to relax, eat and drink. We have been there several times and have left disappointed each time. A notable occasion was when the manger was very RUDE and proceeded to tell us there was no patio seating available and clearly there was. A waitress who saw what happened, sat us at a table on the deck (wow a table on the deck available) and took really good care of us. SMH read more

Had superlative service from the bartender Abby & manager Nicole. We like to eat at the bar when we dine out and there's a comfy one here. I had a Caesar salad with a nicely sized & scrumptious salmon filet. P.s. this was after a fabulous round of golf at the onsite golf course, Plumas Pines. Banner day. read more

These folks have a brand new menu; at least to me it's a brand new menu for I haven't been here in a year or two. Same great ambience and the service seems to be a little bit overworked/understaffed. The food was fantastic! Best meal I've had in quite some time and hands down the best meal I've had in this area for years. Everything was cooked beautifully and presented very nicely. The cocktails were spot on. Best calamari I've had in this county. The halibut was very moist and had a beautiful crust on it. read more

Amazing night. Sedna was an amazing server and Abby took amazing care of us at the bar.

I would not recommend this place. We have had bad experiences on a couple of occasions with the manager. The first time, I called up to the restaurant for a to go order at 5:30p. She answered the phone and said they were "way too busy to take takeout orders" so I should call back at 7p. I did call back because my elderly mother was really wanting fish and chips. We ordered 2 Caesar salads and fish and chips. The salads were terrible. Another time, I had called the restaurant to make a reservation for our group of 8. I was told by the manager that I didn't not need a reservation so we arrived and were told that our group could not be accommodated and that we should try the Road House.. Very disappointing and frustrating. We will not be returning. read more

Fantastic ambience and unbeatable views. Grabbed a cocktail and sat out on the deck that has incredible views. Food Menu: Plenty of options to choose from. I personally like their burgers the most however they have a great variety of other meat options too. Cocktails: Their bar make a mean old fashioned! Excited to try some other cocktails they have. Service: Service was fast and friendly! read more

I've had a better burger and fries at Carl's Junior ! The hamburger was cold and rubbery , no flavor the bun was cold and the fries were stale and cold. This place was suggested to us, we drove over an hour to try this so called great food. It's a hard NO for me. Should have looked it up on YELP it only has a 3 1/2 stars that speaks volumes !! read more

Nice restaurant, friendly server. We were sat inside (it was hot outside) at a table with a view. Had the smash burger. Fries were hot but burger was not. Otherwise the burger was good. The bar area is nice with a long bar. read more

After or golf tournament we had a dinner party of 20 sit down for dinner. the place was busy and the atmosphere was fun. Rayne and Aleena were our servers and did very well. As busy as it was they were very much on top of everything. the dinners came out and everyone enjoyed dinner. I had the brazened beef and it was very good. Hats off the chef and crew! Another hats off to Abey and Christian for dealing with our large crowd at the bar before dinner and after. if your in the area this is a great spot to stop and eat. read more

So glad this finally opened again. Went for lunch and dinner. All the food was cooked perfectly. Great ambiance. Full service bar and seating inside and out. Service with a smile from everyone who works there. Hope they get lots of love from the community so they can keep growing. read more

This was our first visit since some years ago, during which it had been closed for quite a while. The restaurant is back as good, very possibly better, than ever. The team was great about locating us indoors for dinner given the unusual heat wave occurring. Our dinners ranged from pistachio coated halibut to Caesar salad and the house cheeseburger. Every dish was perfect, including the calamari appetizer. The wine list is right on target with selections and price. We appreciated the service from each crew member. This is a very nice option to the already outstanding dining options in the Graeagle area. read more

How does this restaurant have 4 stars??? Golfed and was excited when I saw the menu-looked like it was going to be enjoyable. I have to start off by saying that the service was good. The chicken wing appetizer was horrible-dried out and barely edible. Beer was freaking flat and warm. Server acknowledged that she served him a flat and warm beer. The smash burgers were gross-gross and the buns were burnt. Macaroni and cheese was bland and gross again. I had cod panszanella-would have been nice if it had more than 2 oz of cod for $30. The creamy spirts of whatever it was- disgusting and flavorless. Sister-in-law ordered the chicken schnitzel and it was over cooked. View was great-never would we ever eat here again. The French fires,with the burger, were edible. read more

With a new food and beverage director, Jason Owens, a new chef and new menu, Longboards is a must eat destination for your next Sierra Valley dining-out experience! Their revamped menu utilizes in-season ingredients and is taking advantage of the current plentiful pistachio harvest with a pistachio encrusted chicken breast w/apricot glaze, accompanied by lemon ricotta ravioli. Very yummy! New desert offerings include an excellent pistachio cheesecake and a lemon tart cake. Other menu items are prime rib, seafood, duck and venison, accommodating all palates. Also, cocktails, beer, wine and after dinner drinks! The service is outstanding and the seating is indoor/outdoor with views of the beautiful golf course and nearby surrounding peaks. Highly recommended, Bon appetit! read more

Came in for drinks while staying up in Graeagle. The bar area was comfortable and had lighting set at a visually comfortable setting. The drinks were fairly priced and the bar tender was quick on the pour. I didn't try the food, although the items served around us looked good. Being a few blocks from where we're staying in Plumas Pines, I'm sure we'll be back tonight! read more

Great place for a causal dinner with family and friends. Outside seating is lovely, open air, not crowded and protected from the elements. Large menu, with many choices. Environment is friendly and service timely and attentive. Not rushed. Dinner was very good, Caprase Salad, Cheese Berger, Fish and Chips, Spanish Gazpacho......everything was excellent. It's a popular place. read more

Outstanding food and can't beat the view! Will be back again next time in Greagle for sure. The Oreo shots are a must try for desert!

Give these guys a try! We went at 4pm today. Did not even know they had Happy Hour specials ((drinks and Apps). We were greeted immediately when we stepped into the bar by Chloe, our server/bartender, and Juliet. Love the staff! So friendly and personable. Clint was also tending bar, and he is always so nice. My hubby started with a Happy Hour drink, and we ordered an appetizer from a special Happy Hour menu, which was the Korean Beef eggrolls, delicious! Dinner: Pistachio Chicken with lemon ricotta ravioli, which was recommended by Juliet, EXCELLENT. Also ordered the Prime Rib dinner which was so juicy, tender, and cooked to perfection. Dessert: lemon Tart cake and Pistachio Cheesecake. Both were really yummy and not too sweet. GREAT EXPERIENCE. Everyone we had contact with was so friendly. Chef Chris even came out to let us know a certain appetizer was not ready at that time. He then returned after dinner to see how we liked it. I am looking forward to returning to try some other menu options. Beautiful views from the restaurant. New menu, new chef, new management. Wonderful evening (sorry for any wrong spelling of staff names) read more

The Smokey pepper sauce on the tenderloin was a perfect pairing that blew my taste buds away. Never had a flavor pairing like that! Amazing met my keto low carb diet and also got nitric oxide with the beet salad. Ambience is lovely, I love the bar overlooking the stunning greens and forest. So nice to see Christian from Coyote, so competent and personable. read more

Had a great time. Loved my steak, cooked perfectly. Service was spot on! Ate outside and enjoyed the wonderful view.

We went to lunch there yesterday, food just ok, had the prime rib sandwich, not much prime rib for 20 dollars, but what really got us wad the 22% gratuity of splitting of the check, there was 4 of us the bill was 85.00 dollars, she got $18.98 tip from both parties, I will not be back! The waitress never checked on us, the food tucked, don't brother going here read more

Sadly understaffed; clueless bartender; extremely poor, slow service. It's like no one knew who was doing what!

Came for appetizers and a drink. The homemade chips and dip were amazing and the service was exceptional. A great place with great views for a nice evening hangout. read more

Visiting my friend in the high country and she suggested this spot. Great ambience and view from the deck. I had the prime rib and she had the black cod panzanella. It is rare that I am truly surprised by a steak, but this prime was easily a 1 1/2 inch thick slice of seasoning and cooking perfection. Medium rare and butter knife tender. Served with a side a creamy, buttery mashed potatoes. My friend's panzanella was well balanced, with just the right tang from the capers, once again, perfectly seasoned and cooked cod, The staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming. We will absolutely be back. read more

The staff is friendly and attentive. The food comes out quickly and is delicious. Our favorite place to stop by and have a golden hour margarita! Beautiful view. Hot shots for some family fun. read more

Great view and sat out on deck with cocktails before dinner. We were with another couple and wanted two checks for dinner. They told us they would only do that with a 22% gratuity. That was odd, but not a problem. We then had to add up each couples spend from one bill including the gratuity and tell the server how much to put on each credit card.. really? In any case my husband ordered calamari with a sauce that only covered half of the order and when he asked for more sauce, they told us it would be an extra 2 dollars. Also ordered cheese and broccoli soup that was terrible. Our friends had elk and chicken and they thought it was pretty good. Overall experience for us however was poor and we will not return. read more

Didn't look busy but service was super slow. Sat there for about 20 minutes until someone finally came by. Had a couple items brought by our table that weren't ours, service was so slow we thought about taking the food. Steak frites, marginal at best. The chimichurri had zero flavor, very disappointing. Fries were way undercooked. Just tasted like oily potatoes. Waited forever to take our bill at the end. On a plus note, bartender was great. Scenery is great also. read more

We had a reservation for 16 on the patio and they blew us off for management and did not honor our reservation. Worst experience at a restaurant I've had. They made no attempt to make it right. We confirmed 4 times including the same day after we finished golfing. Terribly run establishment. read more

I am so happy to see how much care the new management has put into bringing back the Longboards we all loved so much! Food was fantastic, server was attentive and kind. Beautiful location. The staff is young and learning but they are really trying to make a great experience for their guests. Patience and kindness goes a long way! Our community is small and does best when we all support each other! Looking forward to another wonderful meal at Longboards. read more
