What a great find here in Truckee! We happened to stumble upon Alibi when another beer hall ended…read moreup being closed for the night and were happy we did. Alibi was a cool spot with awesome wall art inside their bar and in the adjacent dining area. You order at the bar and can choose either scene to enjoy your food and drinks. The dining hall was more lit and made a cozy spot to catch up with friends without too much loud noise. I ordered their seasonal Asian Wonton Salad ($15) with a sweet dressing and loads of cabbage, carrots, and onions, and it was a refreshing bite to pair with my draft beer. Drinks were fairly prices and had a great selection of local choices. If I'm ever back in warmer weather, would definitely enjoy checking out the outside patios.

WHY WE WENT HERE: - lunch/dinner…read more THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - fire pit adjacent to the ski lift; nice view THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - ordered from a kiosk and then went outside to sit by the firepit, where we ended up eating our meal THE MENU: - fried chicken - burgers - French fries - greens - kids menu WHAT WE ORDERED: - Spicy Chick-Inclined with Garlic Fries - Grilled Cheese - Mixed Green Salad - Tomato Bisque THE TASTE: - the food was just edible but not outstanding; not seasoned, just thrown together - tomato bisque was unbelievably thick, which was offputting - grilled cheese was just the burger bun inside out with cheese in it - mixed green salad dressing was very light, and barely able to go on the entire salad unless you bought extra dressing CUSTOMER SERVICE: - minimal other than when our food was ready since we ordered it from the kiosk

Last day skiing Northstar (of 17 do the season here) and thought we'd try this place. Never again…read more Sitting outside waiting for our order only to find it waiting I the counter in a to-go bag.

Delicious food and warm and friendly people!…read more Had dinner here tonight. Ordered a beet salad, meat lovers pizza and a flight of beer tastings (4 flavors) First off the Server was wonderful! Very warm and very friendly to talk with. She was always checking on me to make sure my water glass was full and how b my meal was. Super nice person!! The beet salad is "To Die For!" The dressing on this fabulous! So tasty it's addicting! The beets, candied walnuts and cheese mixed with the arugula was such a fantastic and delicious combo! I'd drive 4 hours just for this salad! The all meat pizza is delicious! The tangy tomato sauce is a very welcomed change of flavor when compared to other pizzas. The sour dough crust is a welcome change too! Very tasty with the tasty meat toppings! The beer flight I had was delicious! I liked the first one a lot! I'm not a very big drinker but I liked the first one. The stout is very delicious too with a fairly strong coffee flavor. All the beers were very yummy! Great ambiance to just hang out all day or night long passing the day drinking tasty beer and eating delicious food! Please see the pictures below and let your eyes do the feasting!!

I had a honeymoon period with TBC when I was coming mostly for the burgers. The burgers are great…read more But I gave up eating beef and things have been a bit mixed since... GREAT: wings, fries, beet salad NOT GREAT: Fish and chips (they're fish sticks) chicken parm sandwich (they're chicken tenders), pizza (sure is a pretty pizza oven though) Also, the dining room is small, and too often the setting for employee drama played out in full view of customers. Maybe schedule a team meeting and hash it out there? Things don't usually improve when the employees are more self-involved than they are concerned about customers. That's not why we visit.

Best burger in the area…read more It tastes just as good as it looks! Super juicy and flavorful, cooked to order and somehow the bun is sturdy enough not to fall apart when eating, which is rare to find in the juicy big burger business Definitely worth a trip out to beautiful Donner lake on old hwy 40, if not just for this burger

Okay, it had been awhile since I ate in the Truckee area. Quite a sticker shock for menu prices…read more Not really a guy who looks for a $28 wagyu beef smash burger and then have to add $1 for cheese. Just couldn't do it. Some ordered the pretzel bites, very good and the duck gravy poutine, also very good. Both were good choices and under $20 each. The location is great, right across from Donner Lake, but I just can't see myself returning based on the prices. Service was okay, food delivery was slow and our choices didn't come out together. Very little interaction from the service staff. Looks like they have a good bar and there were several people having drinks. If you don't mind the expense, give it a shot.

They have an excellent and diverse selection in beers. They have something for every beer drinker! Angela the bartender is an amazing and very knowledgeable bartender. I suggest you go in and ask for her! Food was delightful. I had the trout sandwich and stated off with a flight! All the people here were welcoming and engaging! I am ready to come back tomorrow! I love the people here! Darn! I forgot to get one of their homemade pretzels!

While visiting Truckee, I decided to stop by Alibi Ale Works for a beer and a pretzel…read more Unfortunately, the mustache pretzel was a little greasy this time--I think they may have gone a bit heavy on the butter. It wasn't quite as good as I remembered. That said, the cheese sauce and ground mustard were great complements. On the beer side, I tried their Contradiction (Golden Mocha Stout), which was very good. I also had their Hazy IPA - Chance of Clouds, and that was excellent as well--actually better than I remembered. As we were leaving, they were getting ready for a Friday night trivia event and the place was starting to fill up quickly. It had a fun, lively atmosphere. Overall, I'd recommend stopping by and would definitely return.

Love the new space, it's modern, vibrant, and cozy. The place was packed on a Sunday night, which…read moreis always a good sign. We came in with a large group of 18 and the team handled it smoothly. Food came out quickly, which was impressive for such a big party. The appetizer meatballs were delicious, and I had the veggie burger with chimichurri aioli which was also really good, it tasted like a handmade veggie patty, not one of those overly processed Impossible-style burgers One small note from our table: the veggies (asparagus + broccoli) were almost too salty to eat. Just a little tweak there and they'd be perfect. Overall a great experience and we're excited to have this spot in town!

Food was alright, but there was so much more wrong with this place I wouldn't go back…read more Service was terrible, the waitress asked if we wanted drinks (we did-we asked for a beer menu) she came back 5 mins later without a menu and asked if we wanted drinks again....then we reiterated we wanted a beer menu and she brought it, but literally never returned for our drink order. The food came out (not from our waitress) it, tasted decent, but $16 for a kids meal is outrageous (especially when it doesn't come with a drink ) We never saw our waitress again after she dropped off the beer menu until she asked if we wanted the check, then she TOLD me the price and held the iPhone up for me to pay--like, no paper check at all to review and you aren't even gonna let me hold the iPhone to pay with privacy? Because the tip will reflect the service... They also stated on the menu that they charged $ .50 for any ' sauce' requests...which is so weird considering that none of the meals were cheap. Not sure if they followed through with this because I couldn't actually view my check. Super disappointed in the experience overall, there seems to be a lot of places in the area to eat, I'd reconsider coming to this one.

Cute bistro! Delicious food! Good atmosphere. Nice wait staff…read more Highly recommend this place, especially if you are GF. Our table got the beef tar tar, French onion soup, tomato soup, beet salad, fish sandwich, burger, pork sandwich and rabbit pot pie. The only complaint was- I wish I got the burger because it was better than the pork sandwich, but that was pretty good too.

We keep coming back to Truckee Tavern every time we're in town, and it keeps earning it. The food…read moreis reliable across the board, which is harder than it sounds for a full-service bar and grill. The mushroom quinoa veggie burger and the half-pound cheeseburger are our go-to orders and have never let us down. The coffee roasted carrots are genuinely worth ordering. They're not what you'd expect, and they're good enough that we've ordered them the last two times. The 10 oz. bistro filet is worth trying if you're in the mood for something more substantial. Portions are solid without being excessive. The bar is a real draw. Full bar, decent wine list, and the service at the bar is attentive without being pushy. The cocktails are well made. The old fashioned in the photo says everything you need to know. What surprised us most: the to-go orders are actually good. We've been burned by to-go from places we love before, so this was a pleasant surprise. Quality holds up. They take reservations and handle groups well. Go ahead and book ahead if you're coming on a weekend. Get the carrots. Order a cocktail at the bar while you wait for your table.

Usually our absolute fave! But quality is slipping. Not sure why... and so sad about it!…read more This place has been so special to us for years. Amazing service. Dynamite and delicious food. The best roasted carrots (usually!) But the other night we took friends there after raving. Hats off to the amazing host for seating us even though we accidentally made the wrong reservation date (their friendly service is still stellar!!) My pork chop was overcooked even after saying let the chef decide how to cook it. Dry and hard to cut. The normally amazing roasted carrots? Meh. Had a strange taste we didn't like. Maybe the coffee rub? Just seemed hard and flavorless. And my husband and son shared a ribeye that was overdone even though they asked for medium rare. Too tough on outside for sure. The mashed potatoes still rock. And they were out of TWO their signature cocktails. Poor planning? Or take it off the menu. Not sure if the chef or management has changed but I really really hope they get it back together. As I said, this place has meant a lot to us over the years. Hope it was just an off night?

Oh boy, was I blown away by the burgers here. I got introduced to Cult Burger when they came down…read moreto Reno for an event, and I certainly hope to see them down in town in the future. But if you can, definitely hit up their location in Tahoma, as this is one of the best place I've eaten in the whole Tahoe area. They're in this quaint little shopping center. Parking is relatively easy, though the actual number of spaces is rather small. Nothing too fancy, just order at the outside window, and either take your order to go, or sit at one of their indoor counter spaces or outdoor patio seats. (Which, if it's nice weather, why would you NOT!?) The menu is nice and simple. A few renditions of burgers, some additional toppings, one or two sides, and beverages. I thought the fries were just kind of alright, and the milkshakes did look tasty, but wow, the burgers are really where it's at. I ordered the El Reno, a very cheesy burger with charred onions, and it was extremely delicious, perfectly cooked, and pretty sizeable. Takes a lot to bowl me over with a burger, but they certainly did it. Prices for the burgers were kinda up there. I know, I know; these are like real quality burgers and in Tahoe during tourist season, so be prepared. My burger was $18, and keep in mind that does not include fries or a drink, as you need to order those separately. Service here was also pretty darn friendly and fast for me, too. So yeah, I highly recommend checking them out, especially after a good morning's hike or swim. Great to see a spot like this on west shore.
