RMU Truckee - Fried Chicken Sando - Bars Near Me - Truckee, California

What a great find here in Truckee! We happened to stumble upon Alibi when another beer hall ended up 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. read more

Wouldn't recommend, due to overcharging and not great food, especially given the extra charges. They charge a 20% auto-tip for parties of 5+ even though you order at the bar and the waiters don't bring silverware or waters. And then they add an extra 3% charge to use a credit card... The burgers were fine but not as good as In N Out or Habit Burger (but 3-4x the price). Just burger and a bun without lettuce or sauce. Fried chicken was a bit burned (all 3 orders). Can't speak to the drinks since we didn't have any. Otherwise clean and a nice atmosphere. read more

Absolutely loved the burger here. We split a burger and duck fat fries, which was the right move. The burger was cooked to perfection, and the fries were delicious as well. Perfect for after a hike, right in the center of downtown Truckee. Great environment to hang out and have a casual meal. Huge fan of this spot, would recommend! read more

Solid spot for a drink and dinner! Super cozy, casual interior with a nice patio with heaters and fire pits. The cocktails were delicious. We had the Espress Yo Self. The burger was very good with the perfect amount of fries. The duck fat fries were decent. The seasoning was delicious but some had more than others and some fries weren't completely done. Overall delicious and nice spot! read more

This place is tiny but somehow fit our party of 13 on a Saturday afternoon! We were sitting outside on the deck first, which was fine with the space heaters but then luckily we were able to snag a spot inside after a little while. Despite the big party, our food started coming out within 15 minutes and it smelled delicious. Honestly didn't have a bad dish but some highlights were the grilled cheese with tomato soup (even the kids version was top notch and full size portion), the Calabrian chili aioli with duck fat fries, bourbon honey brussels sprouts, and the macaroni & cheese! The sweet potato curry was also a winner, and so comforting in the cold weather. It was very similar to a Japanese curry flavor profile! Tip - there is parking out back so you don't have to worry about searching on the main street!! This was super helpful so we didn't have to walk far with our kids. read more

Really good bar/restaurant experience. Look forward to their outside area when the weather is right. Walked around the rest of the building -- I don't quite get the rest of the operation, but maybe that's because we're in between seasons. There are a lot of strong outfitters in the Truckee area, but the RMU setup today seemed.. more restaurant/bar. read more

We visited RMU Truckee for lunch on our way to purchase lotto tickets. The bar and restaurant are located in a beautiful victorian era home, turned hotel, turned RMU and bike shop. The bar and restaurant is inviting and Ashley was a great help with the menu. We ordered and waited inside to eat, looking at the layout of the building and enjoying the view of the carriage house and railroad across the street. We had the blta on ciabatta, perfectly made, great house made sauce and fresh but fries and we also tried the RMU burger, double smash burger style patties, housemaids sauce and fixings, also tasted fantastic and came with the well made house cut fries. We will definitely be returning for the food and the authentic atmosphere! Thanks for a great experience and some history in old town Truckee. read more

Once you figure out where to order, you're set. Go upstairs to the bar and the bartender will take your order and give you a number. Then you can sit outside (or inside) anywhere. I was bummed they were out of a salad we wanted so we opted to split the burger (should have gotten two--so good!) and the Brussels sprouts. Both were delish! The sprouts had tasty pumpkin seeds and golden raisins, really unique and tasty. The fries weren't as hot as we'd like but otherwise it was all perfect. The patio is spacious and perfect for summer evenings! read more

Ended at RMU by pure luck and it did not disappoint. Brooklyn was friendly and attentive. Their menu is not your regular bar menu and I am glad of that. I ordered the curry and the portion was huge! Perfect ratio of rice, veggies, chicken and curry sauce. Perfect bowl for a cloudy day (or not lol) Will definitely be back to try their drink menu. read more

While taking care of some things in Truckee we decided to have an early in Truckee and after some false starts in other places we chose to come to RMU Truckee. Even though the other places looked good I was more than happy to have to "settle" for this place. The place is in an old house and is split between a bar and a shop. The bar area is small but we were happy to find a spot at the bar. We were promptly greeted by Brooklyn and she lets us know what the specials and drafts were. Everything on the menu looked super tasty and we ended up going with the daily special of Wild Mushroom and Root Vegetable Curry with Chicken, the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with Duck Fat Fries and a cup of Tomato Bisque. Just by seeing the curry and other things on the regular menu we figured this wasn't your typical bar fare and man we were right. Everything we ate here was super delicious. The curry was a huge portion with the curry served over rice and was very cozy and filling. The soup was thick and creamy, chicken on the sandwich was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and served on a light and fluffy brioche bun, and the duck fat fries were decadent and garlicky. Everything blew us away and we were so happy to be able to taste some really great food. Their cocktail menu had some really great sounding drinks but didn't get any cocktails this time but did have a perfectly poured Guinness. Definitely will be coming back to try cocktails or partake in one of many daily activities they have here. Brooklyn was attentive the whole time and made us feel at home. read more

RMU is an enjoyable & relaxed spot to have a filling meal and great drinks.. The food is tasty and filly. Don't miss on their baked mac-n-cheese. There's even a bike repair and small ski shop inside. The location is a historic house with lots of character. Pro-Tip: Avoid the "Bad Blood" cocktail. It has a strange bitter taste. The bartender is happy to remake something else if you must find out for yourself.. Trust me. read more

Cute little place. Don't go on a hot day. There's no AC and it gets HOT. We had the chicken wings and they are the FULL wings. That was a bit off putting to have to break apart our own wings. Just spend the money to get the pre-cut wings. Ahi tuna wasn't cool enough for our liking and we had to wait an insane amount of time for our mac n cheese (it was like it was forgotten). And that was so hot that it was watery and made it seem like you were only eating noodles. We would come back to try the Bloody Mary on Sunday though. read more

We were hungry. Driving to Lake Tahoe from the San Francisco Bay Area. Truckee is the well known tourist stop for traveler's headed in many directions and has a tendency to know they have us in their grip. Our stop at this family owned restaurant was a real experience. Casual service...no, dismissive and slow. One of the breakfast specials was ok and my burger was the same. I always try to support locally owned, long time in place restaurants but this is the first time to not support my goal of support for these businesses. I understand the summer season is the main time frame that Truckee businesses make the bulk of their income. However, for those of us who want to support "local" this restaurant was not one that I believe is the place to dine. Sorry, it's NOT my usual review! read more

Good smash burgers but very slow service. Took us almost 45 minutes to get a few burgers when the restaurant was nearly empty on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Happy hour. Wings, you pay for what says 6 on the menu but only 5 came out, on two separate orders. They were bloody, a little underdone. The dry rub was super hot and covered in the dust. Asked for blue cheese and came out with ranch. The Brussels sprouts were deep fried? And slathered in some sort of sauce. Not my style. Can't recommend read more

Came here for a nightcap. Their espresso martini was yummy. They served it with mint instead of the traditional coffee bean. It was very refreshing ! Small bar, maybe 12 seats. read more

We were very disappointed with our experience at RMU. The food was honestly terrible. We ordered the Nashville hot chicken sandwich, which was not good at all. It was severely lacking any sauce and actual chicken- about 90% of the sandwich was breading. It was dry, over-fried, and unpleasant to eat. The burger was equivalent to a basic fast food burger, but without any vegetables whatsoever, which made it even more underwhelming for the price. The kids chicken tenders were just as bad as the sandwich- again, about 90% breading and over fried to the point of being burnt. Our child wouldn't eat them. Overall, this was an extremely disappointing meal, and not what we expected based on the restaurant's reviews. read more

Was excited to come to RMU as I'm familiar with the brand but left with utter disappointment. The employees are nice, the atmosphere is cute, but the food was absolutely the worst food we have eaten in years. The chicken sandwich was 90% breading and burned beyond edibility, no sauce on it at all and just plain disgusting. The chicken nuggets were also burned to a black color and my kids couldn't eat them either. Salad was as soggy as they get but tasted fine, smash burger was the only edible thing and was not special. $100 to feed a family of four during happy hour and I cannot explain how mediocre the food was. Really hate giving reviews like this and I'm sure the bar is fun for drinking but this food is the worst I've had in recent memory. Will not be coming back or recommending to anyone. read more

This place is awesome for a casual yet unique setting. Has a full bar and extra seating around this "house". They also have an outdoor area with some games and plenty of seating. Came here for drinks and can't wait to try the other food options and bloody Mary's! Pricing is super reasonable. They actually have good wine options for those that don't just drink beer or cocktails. Pours are nice for the price! There's also retail here on the other side of the bar. This venue has a lot of events and happenings and definitely a good spot to find a friend. read more

Wowie! What a meal. We stopped in for a friend's birthday who was having a craving for a smash burger. We entered the back bar and were greeted by the bartenders upon entry. It is a nice cozy room with a classic wood fired stove making you feel right at home. For appetizers we had the artichoke dip and the beet salad. Neither disappointed. For our mains the burger and a French dip. While I wouldn't call it a traditional smash burger as the patties were a little too large for that classification in my opinion the flavors were definitely on point. The meat was perfectly seasoned with a tangy sauce and a toasted bun to compliment. The duck fat fries that accompanied were also a home run. The French dip was described to me as "surprisingly juicy". The bartenders were extremely friendly, efficient and masters of their craft. Every cocktail we got was beautifully garnished with a perfect balance of acidity and sweetness. I would recommend anyone in the area to stop by. read more

Do it. Have you ever thought after first bite , "this is going to be a good meal"? We had that feeling after taking the first duck fat fries bite. The burger here was amazing. We didn't want to share with the kids but we did. The shrimp poboy was good. The onion soup was good. The Caesar salad tasted gourmet. The Mac and cheese was perfectly seasoned, cooked, and was so good. Who would have thunk this bar/pub feel would have one of the best meals we have had in Truckee? Not me. Just do it. read more

We came for dinner and sat in the Carriage House which has a great vibe. The space is cozy and fun. The bar in the main house looked cool too but doesn't have much seating beyond the bar itself. The food (which you need to order at the bar) is excellent! The Buffalo wings were among the best I've had. The Caesar with shrimp was perfect. And finally, the best smash burger I've ever tasted hands down! Also loved their cocktails. Prices were reasonable for Tahoe, and the bartender was great and friendly. Overall service was excellent. This might be my new favorite spot to grab a drink and a bite in Truckee. We'll definitely be back, likely regularly. read more

We're always looking for a good place that has outside seating as our dog is with us a lot of the time. This place is tucked a bit off the main drag in Truckee and has a great deck and open doors to their rustic and cozy bar. We got there about 1:00 today (Sunday Aug 24th 25) and there was one woman working the bar. I told we wanted to order food which we did with her at the bar and she asked if we wanted to close out or open a tab. I chose to close out as we weren't drinking, I thought it was interesting we needed to prepay the food and tip, but whatever. I ordered a chicken sandwich with no onions and my wife ordered a salad with added chicken. The order showed up fairly quickly from a gentleman who was from the kitchen and it looked great except that my sandwich had onions. The woman wasn't in the bar and no one else in sight so I walked up the stairs to the kitchen area and handed it back to the guy who brought it and told him I can't eat onions. He said sorry and that a correction would be right out. Fifteen minutes or so passed and I went to the bar and told the woman working (she was back) the circumstance and asked if she could check on my food. She obliged and it was in front of me about 5 minutes later. The new sandwich had significantly less chicken in it than the first and way too much cheese. The chicken was so over cooked it crunched like bacon and had no flavor. I couldn't eat it. The woman working the bar came to see how our food was and of course I shared my dissatisfaction. She immediately offered to refund my meal or bring me something else, granted by now my wife was well beyond finished with her relatively small salad $19 salad. I asked her for the refund which she did right away ($22). Here's the deal, not all meals are perfect, but a $22 sandwich even in this economy better be pretty epic. The last thing to mention is we prepaid the meal and the tip of which I left 20%. We got a sandwich refund but not the tip. Not great. If there wasn't any refund at all this would have been a 1 star. It's unlikely we will return here. read more

Probably some of the best burgers I have ever had. Atmosphere is almost zero but did I mention the amazing burgers

We were hungry for a burger & we were referred to RMU by a local. They did not disappoint. The burger was delicious, we opted for the special Duck Fat Fries- a very good choice. Lots of different options in the menu shareables, soups salads & handhelds! We sat at the bar, Carson the bartender was super nice, great customer service. We had a beer, saw a few cocktails, that looked really good. Nice casual atmosphere, (outdoor seating as well) great food, great service & a great playlist! We will be back for sure & have already recommended to some friends who are going to be in Truckee. read more

I'm in love with their prime rib sandwich and cheese sandwich with accompanying tomato bisque. For vegetarians, they have their tasty artichoke dip and vegetarian korean tacos.

They also have a private upstairs room for private parties. Their bartenders and chef rock! read more

This is a fun, trendy place in downtown Truckee. I've visited RMU in Whistler and enjoy this location better. The bar is beautiful and extensive, with plenty of room to pull up a stool. A well-versed bartender serves delicious cocktails. The front indoor area typically has live music on many nights and can be crowded, loud, and fun. During temperate weather, outdoor seating is available. Take advantage of the back room seating and bar for a more relaxed, quiet atmosphere. All three areas are significant and allow everyone to get the desired experience in one location. read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I feel like this needs to be said. I've been to this bar a few times now, and unfortunately the experience has been consistently disappointing because of how rude some of the bartenders are. It's not just me -- I've noticed other customers and even people I've come with point it out as well. I completely understand that working in a busy bar can be stressful, but there's a difference between being direct and being unnecessarily mean. A bar is supposed to be a fun, welcoming place, and the attitude from certain staff really takes away from that atmosphere. I'm sharing this because I think it's worth the management knowing -- people notice, and it does make a difference in whether or not we want to come back. This place could be great, but the customer service needs serious improvement. read more
