Squeeze In is one of the first beneficiaries of DDD. Bobby Flay Throwdown etc. It's been viral at times. However, it's the same as it was before. The dining room is 10 feet wide and thus the name. Unchanged since the Seventies. (Yes i was there) We arrived early before opening and they let us come in and have coffee. very friendly and patient servers A+ Food portions were huge and the various offerings delicious. Got the "mini" cinnamon rolls which were huge" lots of variety around table and very good. It's a tiny place with a tiny kitchen. So allow extra time read more

3.5 stars but rounding up to 4 stars. Decor inside was nice. We got - Eric's Breakfast Burrito $18.99 - pretty standard, got it with bacon and it was good. There was salsa inside the burrito and slightly too much salsa for my liking. Chose potatoes for the side and loved the crispy potatoes. - Garth Breakfast Sandwich $17.49 - very good and unique. The bread is garlic bread and heavily buttered and it was delicious. Very heavy and packed. - Cinnamon Rolls $10.99 - marked as mini on the menu but actually quite a good size. Came with two and not that flavorful. It was burnt on one side and the whole roll was incredibly dry. Would skip this. read more

Sadly it's kind of gross. The restaurant is dirty and the food quality is poor. The fruit on our French toast looked as if it had gone quite bad. I'd pass. read more

Being a huge fan of supporting local businesses, I couldn't help but want to have lunch here given the unique decor and varied menu. We waited less than a minute to be seated at a two top. It took us some time to decide on what to eat given the variety of options. Just about everything is priced at 19.99 or less which makes cost a non factor. It's also easy to be distracted by the wall decor featuring signed dollar bills, stickers and writing everywhere. We finally landed in the huevos with over easy eggs and the avocado toast. My huevos were really good! Combination of black beans, mushrooms, pico, half of a ripe avocado and cotija cheese was perfect! The red salsa was smoky and sweet too. Potatoes are small squares that are cooked to be a bit crispy. Hubby enjoyed his toast and took half home because it was a generous portion. Happy to come back to try other items because it all looks good. While the restaurant is part of a small chain, it certainly felt very local. read more

Based off of the reviews, my friends and I were expecting great things from Squeeze In. The vibes are very cute and homey, though I think the food can be greatly improved. When we went at around 11am on a Sunday, they were out of 50% of the dishes we tried to order, which was a little strange. I ordered the Lake Taco Omelette with Carne Asada. I thought it was good, but really dry. Aside from the actual meat in the omelet, everything else lacked basic seasoning. Our service was really slow and inattentive (they seem very understaffed), but they were quite friendly. We all agreed we would not come again, but Squeeze In was a unique one-off experience. read more

Unfortunately I've not been able to eat here so review is not based on food. Review is based on waitlist issues. I joined the waitlist with 1 party ahead of me, received the text saying I was on line with 0-10 minute wait. We waited and waited. I went inside and saw the iPad with the waitlist of names. My name was not on it, they said the waitlist through their own website was not accurate, what, why do they have it then? They said we can re add our name for an additional 45 minutes. Fix your issues or remove the option from the website read more

Stopped in for breakfast. We hadn't been there in quite a while. Unfortunately, We had a very disappointing breakfast. We ordered the Garth's breakfast sandwich and a bacon mushroom omelette. Both of our plates were served with burned potatoes. The bread on the sandwich was soaked on both sides with excessive grease. The eggs in the omelette were overcooked and dry. The coffee was good and the hostess was very pleasant. We have loved the Squeeze In over the years, but much has changed... or maybe they need a new chef. read more

The restaurant was clean and inviting. Parker, our server, was friendly and attentive. I had the breakfast sandwich. It was very good. The soda was flat. Parker fixed the problem and brought another soda. This is a great place for locals and tourists alike. read more

The servers here were super friendly and accommodating! The food was tasty and plentiful with nearly all of us having leftovers. There's a lot of menu items, so definitely come with friends to hangout and try all their different food. The restaurant may seem a bit tight, but I think that adds to this place being a great socializing environment. Overall, an amazing dining experience. read more

Took a nostalgia tour of Truckee this week where my family owned a home for 25 years. You can see from my original review, that Squeeze In was a beloved family breakfast spot for years. And while it looked the same (teeny tiny and filled with graffiti to the ceiling), it was NOT the same. One improvement is the reservation system, so you can stroll the downtown shops while waiting for a text letting you know that your table is ready. But, the menu? What happened to the crazy menu with all of the omelet choices? All the fun of the original is gone. Service was not great and it was 'just a restaurant' NOT a destination. Bummer. read more

Great breakfast/brunch spot!! Loved the laid back vibe and diner feel! Staff were all super friendly and the service was insanely quick for a busy Saturday morning! Tried the hot mocha which was SO good, and it came with whipped cream and sprinkles on top. All our food looked and tasted great! I had the breakfast burrito with bacon and it was a very solid meal. Tasted great and was a very generous portion, I had the other half for breakfast the next day! read more

Great service, love the old building with all the character. Food was delicious. I had the Classic Chad Burger. Burger party was tasty but I'd prefer just a little pink to my burgers...this one was cooked to well done. It was still a good burger. I did think the giant leaf of romaine lettuce was a bit much. My personal preference is iceberg on a burger, romaine stems are tough to eat. Fries were perfectly done and very good. Brioche bun was nicely toasted with some juicy tomatoes and red onions, it was a very good burger (once I removed the lettuce). Staff were very friendly and the decor is great. Next time in town think I'll try their breakfast! read more

Fun, unique place that's very narrow with an eclectic interior. The breakfast here is good, the menu has a lot of variety and the dishes are well prepared. The Racy Tracy is great as well as the biscuits and gravy. The homemade cinnamon rolls are very good, not sweet and it's enough to share. Service can be spotty. read more

Such a cute place to have brunch! The staff here is wonderful and you always get your food quickly!

Had a DoorDash order and I really wish they would include utensils. The potatoes were delicious great flavor and perfectly cooked. The eggs and were also good. The French toast were so hard I had a hard time chewing them. Not sure if they just got cool too soon but I couldn't even eat them. Next time I will try to go in there and try out the food fresh. read more

Came here on Mother's Day with my daughter and husband while the food was good, the service unfortunately made the experience disappointing. Every time we asked a question, it felt like we were bothering our server. I was not rude or demanding at all and honestly just assumed maybe she was having a bad day, so I tried to be understanding. What really hurt was watching flowers being given to all the other mothers around us while I was skipped over completely. It may seem small, but on Mother's Day it definitely stood out and made me feel unwelcome. We still tipped 25% because we understand restaurant days can be stressful, but it was hard not to notice the difference in how warmly other tables were treated compared to ours. The food itself was enjoyable, but the customer service left a lasting impression. read more

Because I am Forced by yelp to give one star....As soon as we sat down and I read on the menu this was a chain, my heart sunk. And it shows in the quality. everything I ordered was inedible. The French toast was Rock hard and tasted like it had been sitting out for weeks. The root hash tasted uncooked. The Misty's mocha was day old drip coffee with a splash of hersheys syrup. I had to send most of my order back which I never do. The two servers both seemed miserable which is ironic for a place with good people good vibes on the door. It was just incredibly disappointing for our only meal in Truckee. Of all the options you have, make this your last choice. read more

My family came here for breakfast on a Sunday while visiting Truckee. I recommend putting yourself on the Yelp Waitlist during the weekend. We spent the 1 hour+ wait time at our cabin packing up while waiting for our table to be ready. The restaurant is relatively small, so it took longer to accommodate our party of 7. Overall, the service was excellent! Our waiter was attentive, and the food came out quickly. I ordered the Mango Tajin Mimosa and The Spanish Flay Omelette, which was featured on Throwdown! with Bobby Flay. The omelette had good flavor, but it was nothing to rave about. Luckily the portions were well worth the price, and I did not leave hungry. read more

It was a weird day, my friend and I decided to go to this restaurant in Tahoe City but they were closed for a maintenance so we drove to Truckee and tried option 2 restaurant which was also closed then the diner, under staff, nobody couldn't feed us but we found this cute place, they were able to feed 2 hangry people without a wait. The service was great regardless of only one lady serving. I ordered The Garth breakfast sandwich with carne asada because the picture looked yummy, it was yummy just like the picture!! I was so hungry and I ate the whole thing!! I would definitely recommend this place if you want a great American breakfast, my friend told me his omelet was good too! Thank you for feeding 2 hangry people! read more

This was a really cute place and I honestly really enjoyed the vibes inside. I ordered a mocha, hot chocolate, hangover helper, and a pancake. The mocha was a really good balance in the beginning, then it got really sweet at the end. The hangover helper was good. I subbed my stud potato's for fries. The pancake was pretty delicious. I like mine a bit more crispy on the outside. The hot chocolate was so beautiful and tasted good. read more

This place was recommended to me by a worker who works at the Ritz and has grown up around Lake Tahoe his whole life. I'm so glad I took that recommendation, because this place was great! It's a little hole in the alley, literally. There was an old alley way and they built this food establishment into the alley. You can see the old brick walls as the inside walls for this place. Very unique! Now I know this is a chain around this area, but it looks like is the only location that has this type of vibe and uniqueness to it. The girl working there was a complete boss! She was working the front by sitting people, she was waiting every single table, and was cleaning every single table. She was the only worker in the eating area and she killed it! She did everything but cook. The inside is not very big, so be aware, but that doesn't take away from how impressive this individual worker was. The food was very good too! We got breakfast and it was a very good omelette and potatoes. Probably some of the best I've had! read more

This place is very overrated as a breakfast stop. We chose the Squeeze In Truckee location and used the Yelp app to check in, which we were glad we did because the wait was about 35 minutes. That part was actually very convenient, and the host was incredibly kind and communicative while we waited. She was by far the friendliest person we interacted with. Unfortunately, our servers were not very customer-service oriented. My husband ordered the Garth sandwich, and while the garlicky bread was delicious, it was the best part of the sandwich. The potatoes, however, were excellent and easily the highlight of our meal. I ordered the veggie eggs Benedict, which was pretty good, especially with the avocado. My poor son ordered the Queen French toast (six huge slices with strawberry and banana), and it had zero flavor. It was overly cinnamon-heavy, lacked butter, and wasn't cooked all the way through. Honestly, it was the worst French toast we've ever had. Such a bummer considering how expensive the meal was. The service was also disappointing. Our server never checked on us or refilled our coffee. When we finally flagged someone down, the busser tossed butter on the table in an attempt to fix the French toast (which didn't help) and quickly refilled our coffee with a noticeable attitude. I understand she was young, but when we asked for the check, she yelled it across the room to the host, who then apologized. Save your money and try a different breakfast spot in Truckee instead. read more

Ordered chicken fried steak and eggs to go. Didn't check my order before I left. They did not add the gravy to my steak. That's the part I was craving. The potatoes were over cooked and too crisp. The scrambled eggs were non plural, rather simply, an egg at most. Too bad, I typically really like this place and their portions. read more

10/10 Found this spot on the way home from Reno and it was great. Truckee is such a cute town and their downtown area was like a Hallmark movie. We got to Squeeze In around 9/9:30 and right after there was a huge breakfast rush. Make sure to come early to get a table but waiting isn't too long (15-20 min). We ordered the Huevos Montana, the Teddy Bear Pancake, and the breakfast sandwich. All were delicious. The server was so friendly and make sure to take care of us. The place was cute and they allowed guests to write on the walls. read more

Cool narrow building with years of graffiti. Monday at noon and we were seated right away. Split a Garden Party Omelette and Roasted Veggie hash. Not too many restaurants serve parsnips. The omelette came with potatoes and sourdough toast. Plenty of food for two people. The omelette was perfectly cooked and stuffed with plenty of veggies and cheese. Yum! The roasted veggies were delicious. We didn't have a drink, but I included the drink menu because he'll definitely have one of those next time. Service was fast and efficient. read more

We tried Squeeze In in Truckee after seeing all the glowing Yelp reviews and were really looking forward to a solid breakfast experience. The food itself was good and lived up to the hype, but unfortunately the service and overall treatment from the front-of-house staff completely overshadowed the meal which appears to be consistent with a lot of other reviews highlighting this poor attitude from the front staff. From the start, the interaction with the host was off-putting. While leaning in to take our order, the host stepped directly on my foot hard enough to throw off their balance and never acknowledged it, let alone offered an apology. I try to be understanding, mistakes happen but there is no realistic way to step on someone's foot like that and not realize it. The worst part of the visit came a bit later, around 9:20 a.m. on May 9, when a blonde staff who was refilling condiments and running food from the kitchen. Plates were dropped or shoved onto our table without a word, and the expression on her face was a clear frown every time she came by. At first I thought she might just be having a rough morning, but it quickly became obvious that this behavior was reserved for our table. Every other table received greetings, and basic courtesy, while we got silence and visible attitude. The contrast was uncomfortable enough that it felt less like an off day and more like a message about which guests are welcomed warmly here and which are merely tolerated. The kitchen clearly knows what they're doing, the food was tasty and well-prepared, but the front-of-house team could stand to learn the basics of hospitality and respect. If a certain demographic isn't genuinely welcome, the restaurant should be honest about that so we can take our business, and our money, to one of the many other excellent nearby restaurants on Donner Pass Road where we've previously enjoyed both great food and genuinely welcoming service. read more
