Went here on a Sunday afternoon and sat outside to enjoy the views. Got the Melon Salad, Bibimbap Bowl, and the Harvest Bowl. The food was all very good and was decently priced compared to the other restaurants around, but service was not good for there only being two other people seated. Apparently there was a miscommunication and no one was made aware that the host sat us, so we ended up waiting for 20 mins just for someone to bring us water. While I did enjoy the food, it was hard to enjoy waiting almost 45 minutes for it read more

I can't say this is going to be my favorite spot in The Village. Location is nice because it's centralized within the Palisades Village but it's a pretty basic bar with basic food. Did I say mention this place is basic, lol? Service was good up until it was time to pay. Our server just hands us our bill and says, "are you going to pay with card?" The whole situation felt like he was rushing us out because a couple of my friends were still nibbling at their entrées. A nice, considerate server would start off by saying, "no rush but here's your bill" bla bla bla but nope, our server did not do that and it was felt. Ambiance seems like this is a good spot to grab drinks, but I would pass on the food. A mediocre salad for $18? Menu items includes bar food items like loaded fries, burgers, sandwiches and salads. No thanks, I will pass next time... read more

Azure, was amazing! She was attentive and super friendly! Made sure our food and drinks were up to par! Would totally come back!

Great bimbimbap. Great view of the mountain and perfect evening. Azure took care of us and we truly enjoyed the whole night. Thanks Rocker!

Had the best time at Rocker tonight, Azure was our server and we left feeling completely taken care of and had the best time. Loved the halloumi! read more

We had a great meal and drinks at Rocker. Nice atmosphere, wonderful meal and drinks and our waitress Azure was fabulous

I had an incredible dining experience at rocker! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly -- they made us feel right at home. read more

They care more about getting people in and out more than showing customers a good experience. Was asked to leave even though still eating and finishing by cocktail. Their reason was they wanted to seat other people. Also food overly salty. read more

Omg!!! The best steak and eggs ever!!! Here in Tahoe for the weekend and found this gem. Sean was our waiter and he was extremely friendly and fast. Steak was prepared perfect with a little pink. Roasted potatoes crisp and not to oily. This was supposed to be a light breakfast but turned into my breakfast and lunch. So filling. read more

AZURE WAS A FANTASTIC! We'll be looking forward to our next visit! Food was excellent too!

The Rocker was great, with excellent service. Just a short walk from the slopes with a warm ambiance to dry our gloves, We (4) got a table with no wait while it was 12:30 and there were wait times elsewhere. Score!! The menu was extensive and everything tasted fresh and made in house. Two of our crew landed on burgers cooked perfectly and juicy. While my wife and I shared Soup of the day (Butternut squash soup), Steamed buns with Pork Belly and Kimchi, Crispy seasoned fries, and the Buffalo Cauliflower. Everything tasted great, all that was pictured were the nachos before they all quickly disappeared... read more

Rocker - Nachos (shareable and delicious) - New American Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

Stopped in after a tram trip to High Camp. Perfect patio seating. We were here for cocktails before heading up to our room. I asked for a dirty, dirty filthy, miley cyrus skanky vodka martini. Partner had a Bulleit Old Fashioned. Do you know what the cocktails tasted like???? Yes....another. Both were spot on. Justin was our server. Attentive and funny. As well as dining suggestions for our early departure for breakfast. Currently most place open around eleven am. Did not have any food items. Table next had the Rocker Nachos. Looked awesome. Next trip. read more

Anais the bartender is the best bartender in north Lake Tahoe hands down! good food too and convenient when getting off the mountain...

Everything was wonderful from the service to the food. The quinoa bowl and fish tacos were delicious! Azure was incredibly helpful and friendly. Look forward to dining here again. read more

Wow! Food was awesome! The wings and papas bravas are a must. The sauce to the papas brava is delicious! Service was great! We loved our server Azure who was very attentive! We'll definitely be back! read more

The food and service are fantastic here! We have consistently had amazing meals here and they are always accommodating of us and our kids. This is the PLACE to go when you are at the Village in Tahoe. read more

Love sitting at the bar at The Rocker and catching up on the games after a day on the slopes. The bartenders are attentive and always have a bangin playlist going. I didn't eat anything but friends ordered the smoked brisket hash, burger and fries, and nachos and had no complaints. A good stopping point if you are sick of the grub at KT base food hall and aren't feeling the chammy. Family friendly as well with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating around the perimeter. There's a few high top tables for groups as well. Looking forward to coming back to check out their reverse happy hour specials midweek. Cheers and happy skiing! read more

We ate our meal out on the patio where there was great music, good drinks, and friendly staff. Our server, Azure, was attentive and kind. The food wasn't amazing, but we still enjoyed our experience. read more

After a long hike at high camp, this was the best place for me and my family to go afterwards. But with three young kids, it's some times hard to find things one the menu. This place is nachos are probably one of the best that we've ever had. They ate it all, definitely a must try if you come here. I had the hamburger with pork belly, which was really good. The staff was friendly and attentive with the kids. Would recommend to anyone. read more

Came in the middle of October right before they close down for the summer? season. Was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. Order the Pastrami sandwich, goat cheese salad, tater tots, lentil soup, and calamari. Staff was very attentive and friendly. Would definitely recommend. read more

Super busy sports bar. Drinks were standard, standing room only after skiing. We sat down at a massive table for like 12 people with permission from the only couple sitting at one end. After a few minutes we were told we weren't allowed to sit there even if the couple was okay with it because we ordered at the bar. Also, you can't get to go cups and can't go outside so we were forced to just awkwardly stand next to the host stand in the middle of everyone's way while we drank our cocktails even though the nice couple asked the host as well if we could sit at the table with them. If this sounds absurd I agree. read more

Walk in. See nachos. Get nachos. I couldn't resist. THE FOOD + DRINKS After a looong day of stumbling down the slopes, I needed a drink. The Rocker is one of a handful of restaurant-bars at Squaw Alpine. One of my friends found this location and we met up here. I ordered a cider on tap for $9. Three of us split the nachos for $20. The dish actually looks bigger than it really is. I think we could have ordered and finished two. One of my friends ordered the pork belly dish. I just took a small bite, but it was delicious! I really loved the smoky pork belly paired with the creamy, cheesy grits. THE VIBE I got a sports bar vibe here. There were a handful of screens around the space, and each had a different game on. The noise level was average. THE VERDICT The menu overall is pricey, but that's to be expected at any hot touristy spot in Tahoe. Cute place. I would come back. Nothing was spectacular, but it was solid overall. read more

The experience was very nice. Martina, our waitress was very attentive and made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. I ordered the rocker burger and it was delicious. I will return. read more

We went there at a time when it was completely empty except for one other person. Given the location and the gorgeous summertime views, their whole open concept seating is perfect - especially if you're seating in the corner booth facing the outdoor area and the beautiful blue sky. Our server was great too, but the food was just okay, nothing special. Chicken sando was a bit bland. So my low rating is based entirely on the food and the small menu - everything else was good. read more

Rocker - Main menu 07-09-23 - New American Near Me - Olympic Valley, California

We nearly stop here for drinks and snacks or lunch after skiing. Beer menu has 5-10 beers on tap - this time I got a Sierra Pale Ale. I used to crave the burgers, but on my latest trip I had the humus appetizer and it seemed handcrafted and well seasoned. The location can't be beat - just at the base of the funi. They have a variety of tables and they also have a good bar with TVs for sports. read more

The food was good, but the service was terrible. Drinks took an hour to arrive, and both the appetizers and main course came out together which also took about an hour after ordering even though the place wasn't even busy. To make things worse, they added on a 20% charge on the bill. When we asked about it, the manager claimed it was a "village charge" (they're located in Palisades), which isn't true because other restaurants here don't do that. Then our server said it was because he mistakenly thought there were six of us, due to a backpack on a chair( their policy does state the 20% gratuity only applies to parties of six or more). This felt intentional and dishonest especially with the manager citing an obvious made up "village charge" because if that was an actual policy why did they correct the bill when they realized there were only 5 of us as opposed to them thinking there were 6 in our group. Be aware and pay attention if you choose to dine here, but it's not worth the poor service or being subjected to their attempt at scamming their customers. read more

I can't comment on the food, but the beer selection is decent. Prices are on the high side but, for a ski resort, pretty reasonable. The main feature here is the super-nice patio. (it also opens earlier than most other patios in the area) Just be warned: you can't just come over and scoop up a patio seat! You MUST talk to the host/hostess and get in line for the patio seating. We were in the patio but just sat on some rocks and drank beer. Way less hassle, and could still drink beer in the sun. read more

It's been 45 minutes and we still have no food. They waited almost 30 minutes to tell me they were out of the gnocchi. I ordered the fried chicken and asked for lettuce/salad and they gave me bread. It came out so dry I refused to eat it. The "bowl" of chili is literally a cup and tastes too salty. The restaurant is only half full, it's not clear what is wrong with their kitchen. Do not come here, it's mediocre bar food and they cannot handle simple instructions read more

We were seated quickly, ordered drinks and they arrived a few minutes later - great! Unfortunately it took 35mins four our appetizers (nachos & bao buns) to arrive and that's after we asked about our order. Had we been informed (on arrival) that we'd have to wait that long for food it wouldn't have bothered me, but with no communication from our server it was a bit much. Originally we were seated around the side of the bar near the restrooms, but moved to the bar because of the smell. Ick. read more

Fair at best. There are better options in the village. I had a burger. They screwed it up twice...so I'm just frustrated and hungry. The burgers at the Irish bar looked 10x better the next night we ate. I made a mistake. Wife had salmon sandwich and liked it. The red wine selections were weak and the server agreed. It looks like it's better as a ski bar than a place for dinner. Mike was a good server. I wish I had ordered something else. My bad. read more

My friend and I wanted a new place to eat after a long day of boarding. I wanted to try something new. So I picked this spot. It wasn't that busy when we walked in. The hostess sat us down with menus and told us our waitress will be there shortly. We waited for 15 mins. There were people around us that sat down and received their order and waters already. I was able to get a hold of a staff member. He told me that I m not your server and I will get someone to help you. 25 mins has passed and we flagged down the waitress that just served the table next to us and she looked at me and told me I will be with you shortly. In a rude manner "racism". After that we saw how she treated. We couldn't find a manager and left the restaurant. it wasted our time on the mountain!! read more

I ordered the chicken guacamole on the first visit. The chicken was a tad over done but had great flavor. The jicama slaw carries quite a kick. The corn fritter cake did a nice job of cooling it back down. Where's the guacamole? I don't know if the chef forgot or if they ran out, but I would have liked to have known that upon ordering it. $9.18 for a glass of house Sauv Blanc is kind of steep. The house Chardonnay was $10.11. Both were decent wines but nothing to write home about. They handled our large bunch of groups well on a Thursday evening. Major props to the server that was so understanding about our receipt needs for business travel reimbursement. She really hustled the entire evening. I ordered the soba salad and enjoyed it. Someone in our group ordered the nachos and those looked amazing. They have all of your basic beers, to your double IPAs and a lot in-between. read more

STAY AWAY IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIES! I rode my bike from Tahoe City to Palisades on Saturday with family, and ordered the Buffalo Cauliflower. I have a severe nut allergy and purposefully ordered this because the chicken sandwich had pesto on it which was stated on the menu. The menu did not state that the Buffalo Cauliflower had almond paste in it. Luckily there was a trail marathon going on with an ER doctor with an epi pen and Benadryl. Thank god because I was 25 minutes from the ER. I believe this restaurant is owned by Palisades At Tahoe which is frightening for a big resort that has thousands of kids with allergies visiting yearly. STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT. The waiter was also rude before this all happened. read more
