    We spotted this place with their meats turning in the front window as the wonderful smell of burgers as we walked by for a concert at the event center. We remembered it and went to dinner here the next night. I guess they were voted best burger in the area for a few years. I shared with my date and it was just perfect. Loved they offered tater tots. Yes please. The burger was flavorful and cooked perfectly medium well. By nature this is a lively loud place. If you're looking for intimate close conversations this isn't the place. Just be aware of that. My date said we have one of these in Reno?! I had no clue!

    Really good burger spot in Tahoe. Right down the street from Harrah's. Pretty big in door area with tons of high top tables and bar seating. The atmosphere is fun with music blasting (that may not be good for some though). The food was really good. We both got the Gambler. I got the Cajun fries and my husband got the Cajun tots. The Cajun seasoning is pretty spicy though. We liked it, but it was hot. The service left a little to be desired. The waitress was super busy. She forgot my water that I asked for. Typical bar service I guess. We would absolutely eat here again when we are in town.

    Thank goodness this was open late. You have to be over 21 to sit inside. They do have patio seating with heaters. We started with the wings. They were good. My brother got the chili soup. I got the burger it was okay, I think I didn't really like the bacon on it.

    After rolling into Caesar's Republic and getting settled in, it was time to get a nice meal somewhere close, non-chain, and fun. Lucky Beaver was one that our amazing and insightful driver, Max recommended for a GOOD burger! A very short walk took us there in no time. As soon as we walked it, the vibe I got was a mix of country, upbeat energy, friendly female server hospitality, and a level of authenticity that you can't fake. The GAMBLER medium rare was my signature burger of choice. Tangy/sweet BBQ sauce with an onion ring, cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickles.... you get the idea. My wife ordered the clam chowder and garlic bread...she wasn't that hungry. Oh yes... French fries! Our server was great! My beer was huge (see the pic). I forgot the name, but it was a local Tahoe pale ale! In Chicago, there are over 250+ local beer spots. So, I try to get a taste of the local craft brew when I travel if possible. A spirit of respect, discovery, and adventure.

    The answer is, "YES!" The question is, "Should I eat here?" Recognized as being the best burger in South Lake Tahoe. There ambiance is bar/diner with a cool rotating grill as you enter. Service is good, and the food... well...let me tell you. Actually, you should just go and try it out yourself. The bigger the burger, the better the bite!

    Delicious hamburgers always I've never eaten anything else besides burgers, but the service and the food is amazing

    Great service delicious food hamburgers are amazing cooked perfectly hats off to the chef

    Solid food spot. Everything I ordered was good for sports bar food. The burger was juicy and the wing flavors were very good. The only changes I would make are more consistent seasoning on the Cajun fries and less salty chili dog but I'm not sure if they can change anything about that. My fries were 90% plain with maybe a few covered in Cajun seasoning which was a bummer. The fries were a bit stale as well. The chili dog was extremely salty but the flavor itself was good. I knocked down 2 stars mostly due to service and how they run the place. They do not take down names when it's busy, they make you "stand in line" even though no one is actually standing in line and if two seats or space opens up to stand inside and it's cold outside, they still expect you to stand outside. None of it makes sense. It seemed very unorganized and every server had an irritated and bitchy attitude. They get things done quick there which is nice but it's not fun when everyone has resting bitch face and people keep trying to take your plates away while you're still eating. They gave me an extra plate to put my chicken wing bones and after I put 2 in there, they tried to collect the plate multiple times even though there was a plate of uneaten wings next to it. It's nice that they're 24/7.

    Jackpot Burger with garlic Parmesan tots

    We decided to grab a late night bite without the kids at this place after it was recommended to us. It did not disappoint! Friday night and we briefly waited for table and got seated quickly, put our drink order in before we decided on the jackpot burger with garlic Parmesan tots extra crispy & the blackened salmon Caesar. Prices were average as expected in resort area and portions were decent. The food was delicious! Let's just say the plates were cleaned at the end. Lol! Great music played from the juke box that customer can pay to play. Plenty of seating for gatherings seems like party of 4-6 would be doable. Only thing I would say is the $30 appetizer platter might not be worth it but everything was pretty great including service. I definitely would go back. 10/10 would recommend

    Caesar Salad

    Wow! Amazing late night eats! Didn't expect much from the outside and walking it the place was dimly lit and full of bar goers. Had a party of just under 10. Our server had half black and blonde hair and absolutely killed it as our waitress. She was on top of her game. Our waters and sodas were constantly being refilled. Empty plates taken away. All the little things. Went with the chili and split a Caesar salad (all about balance). My lady got the clam chowder and we also split some tater tots. We loved our dishes. Everything was delicious. Some family had got the sliders and I got one, Bomb!! Crazy to find out this place is open 24/7. Feeling like breakfast at the Lucky Beaver might be the move!

    Wow what a little gem of a find while trapped by the snow storm of the century. This is a local's place that welcomes everyone. Chill vibe, food is amazing, amazing kitchen. What's not to like??

    Heard good things about this place so we decided to give it a try since they were closeby. It was a busy Friday night so the wait was quite long. There were people waiting after us and they had to wait outside (it was very windy and cold)... i can't imagine what winter must've felt like if you had to wait outside. I ordered the hot hand burger, which was supposed to be spicy (i love spicy btw)...and it was pretty good. Love that it has a kick to it. They have a lot of sports TV/shows on so some people were just chillin watching tv even though they were done eating. I feel like this makes waiting longer for people trying to get in. Overall it was ok. I wouldn't wait in the cold for it though.

    Lucky Beaver Bar and Burger was packed with patrons when we visited. It looks like a college hangout with all of the merchandise for sale, tons of framed pictures on the walls, and loud rock music blaring. Front of the house seated us immediately where there happened to be open tables in the outdoor dining area in the back of the restaurant. Hubby and I each ordered burgers. My $24 Platinum Signature, a 50-day aged steak burger with American cheese, thousand island dressing, and caramelized onions was life-altering delicious. Seriously, my burger was very juicy, flavorful, and amazing. Buns were tender but held up well against the 1/2 lb patty and toppings. The tater tots were fried perfectly and also delicious. Hubby's $19 Royal Flush burger with grilled onions and mushrooms with A1 sauce was also delicious. But you could definitely tell the difference in the meat patties. Service was great. Our drinks were refilled and our waitress was friendly. I can't wait to visit again. The only downside is having to pay for parking but that's more on Lake Tahoe and not Lucky Beaver.

    High Steaks Sandwich with plain tater tots. Fantastic!
    Ruby B.

    4.8 overall! Great place for lunch during our first morning at South Lake Tahoe. Luckily we got in after only a 5-minute wait for a table as it was already busy at 11:00! I ordered a steak sandwich which is the best I've had in a long time. Steak was tender, full of flavor with the carmelized onions, pepperjack cheese and sautéed mushrooms. The ciabatta bread was also deliciously toasted and great. I would order this again! My hubby ordered a steak burrito that had eggs and avo in it and he loved it as well. Salsa it was served with was a nice touch. Barbara our server was very professional and caring and provided excellent customer service. Comfy place with big screens and sports playing on all of them. Solid and hearty food. Would definitely return.

    Where does one park?

    When I was there in early February it was right behind them however that could become charged parking

    Do they serve food 24/7?

    They are open 24hrs. I’m assuming they serve food the entire time. I know people who have had breakfast at 4am

    Hello! What is your comp drink policy on video poker? Thank you

    They use a tracking system now. If you're lucky the bartender isn't busy and actually notice on an end terminal you've played enough to earn a drink. Last trip I lost over $200 and bartender never came by to offer a drink.

    Can you make reservations?

    Negative

    Are Kids ok?

    Kids are ONLY allowed on the back patio. They are not allowed to eat inside the restaurant.

    Does your chili have beans in it?

    Yes... and it is amazing!

    Do they carry the impossible burger?

    Absolutely!!! You can replace any burger patty for it as well.

    Do you take reservations?

    Unfortunately we do not. But call ahead if you have a large party and we may be able to plan a table for you and get you seated a little faster.

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes. Patio is not currently opened.

    Can kids go in & eat too?

    We are 21 and over inside but we have a family friendly patio that kids and familes are welcome.

The 4-cheese blend with gouda was SO good and made the pizza extra creamy and smoky. The BBQ sauce was perfect, the toppings were loaded, and the crust had the perfect crisp without being too hard. Also the ranch? Elite. Such a good cozy spot after being out in Tahoe all day. Definitely not just a tourist hype place, we're already planning to go back next trip

Got a half Base Camp and half BBQ Chicken pizza, which came out fast and smelled great. The Base Camp was the better of the two, but they were both ok. I wish I could say better things about this place but unfortunately the pizza did me dirty. Within 5 minutes of paying the bill, I was running to the bathroom (located outside the restaurant). 10 minutes later I was fighting for my life again in the Target bathroom. It hit my husband later that evening and my 1 year old the next morning. Food poisoning while on vacation is the absolute worst. Would NOT recommend if you're planning to grab a pizza before a full day of hiking or hitting the slopes.

The food was pretty solid overall. We ordered the Cajun shrimp salad, Tavern burger, buffalo cauliflower, and fish and chips. I'm giving 4 stars mainly because the buffalo cauliflower didn't actually taste like buffalo -- it leaned more toward a curry-style spice. It was still good, just not what we were expecting. The fish and chips came with deep-fried salmon, which unfortunately was a bit dry. On the bright side, the fries were SO good -- they tasted like they were fried in beef tallow and reminded us of McDonald's fries in the best way. Overall, a good spot with a nice atmosphere, and I'd definitely be open to trying other items on the menu next time!
