If you dine in here, definitely sit on the patio for the view if you can. It's beautiful and provides a great ambiance. We did just that for a late lunch on a Thursday afternoon. I had the caprese pizza. The crust was my favorite part. It had a cornmeal texture with a nice crunch. They do have a happy hour at 3pm but it's only $2 off specific drinks and a limited full price menu. Not the reason we came but just keep that in mind if it's why you are. Our server was new, friendly and answered our multiple questions we had. Nice little spot! read more

Food was decent at best. Servers and bartenders were so sour and it felt like we were an inconvenience that we were there. There were 6 of us and we had a reservation but they told us if we made it online they can't honor it. After being sat 30 minutes past our reservation it took another 30 minutes for drinks and 45 for food. Half of us our industry and we are so understanding but this was the weirdest dining experience we have ever had. We still tipped 20% but they didn't deserve it. Management needs to set some service standards. We won't be back. read more

The four of us went for dinner last night for the first time. We reserved an outside table a week in advance. We were informed that all of the tables were already taken ( but they were empty) and there was only one left in the Sun. So we requested an inside table. There were numerous empty tables. After being there for a while it appears that they really were understaffed as the waitresses were struggling to cover the area.. The food was marginal at best.. we had the wedge salads and fish and chips... Won't go back..serving meals is a tough job.. the servers were stressed. Didn't make for a good meal.. We tipped minimum levels....as it wasn't under the waitress control.. read more

Had a nice lunch at Longboards yesterday it was sunny and watching the golfers come up on# 9 was wonderful the wedge salad was perfect! I love this place and been coming here for many years read more

Garbage establishment in terms of service. We were told no public service one day due to a golf tournament. And that is fine, however, we were told the restaurant was open to the public the next day. We walked up after a round of golf and were told we couldn't be seated without a reservation because there was a wedding the next day. Seats were open all over the place. The food is good, but the service is horrible! Good luck finding places open for food in this area! read more

The views are amazing and the service was pretty good. I was told the wings are very good so that is the dish I ordered. I'll have to say the way they're cooked is very good and they are crispy however, there isn't much flavor to them. They do have a happy hour from 3 to 4 that offers a happy hour food menu along with two dollars off beers and House wine. We felt the wings and drinks were fairly priced and the place overall was reasonable. read more

Food was not good! Don't order fish and chips it's all batter. Hamburger too well done. Service by Emily was good but the hostess could have easily fit us in to the dining room and didn't even try. read more

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

beautiful surroundings, good drinks food mediocre, lunch items greasy and lacked flavors Service was good read more

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

Went for lunch with no reservation. Asked about a table for two outside in the shade. None were available, but the host gave us a table by the window which was fine. We each ordered a half wedge salad which was great, plus we shared an order of sourdough bread and garlic butter. Followed up with a small dish of ice cream each. A perfect lunch. Service was somewhat slow, but it seemed like they needed more staff. Our server was friendly and answered all our questions. I hadn't been here for a few years, but found it just as good as I remembered. 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

Great view but there was conflicting music playing from the patio and from the club house downstairs and it ruined the ambiance. It was really hard to enjoy my lunch. The brisket chilly was way too salty and my chicken in my Cesar salad was dry. When I mentioned this to the manager, nothing was done about it other than an I'm sorry and saying that the kitchen staff is new and being trained. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!
