Squeeze In - Huevous Montana... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Truckee, California

Some of the best classic American breakfast in the most mountainous classic American city. Deep fried sausages, quickly scrambled eggs, biscuit and gravy - all delicious, better than Denny's for sure. I think I paid maybe $11 bucks for all of this food? So solid. Vibe and decor in the restaurant is cool, but the restaurant is very small. Maybe... 15-20 tables? Not the best suited for groups, but perfect for couples and small families. I'll be eating here whenever I'm in town. read more

Squeeze In - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Truckee, California

I absolutely love Squeeze Inn food and vibe and have been here many times and even wrote articles for them in the Sparks Tribune years ago. Today I brought a friend from Sacramento to this location and our two girls and near the end of our visit the waiter was very sloppy. He tossed the take-home container instead of setting it down And he knew that my friend wanted to pay but instead of putting the bill in front of her, he put it right in the middle of the table out of reach and near the very end when she was debating whether to have it sent to her email or a physical copy he ended up saying "you probably just haven't pushed the button and pushed the button for her!" Absolutely rude and uncalled for. I will always love your food, but I think this waiter, Parrish, needs to take a chill pill. read more

Long time customer just trying to order food from here... Don't bother! They clearly do not want our business. If you do not want to do to-go orders than just say so. Don't make us download the app, plug in our order into a ridiculously complicated process, just to have it say they are not accepting online orders. Then call and it tells you to order online. I'm not going to try here anymore. Get it together Squeeze. You are never that busy inside anymore other than tourists who don't know how inconsistent your food is. I swear I am the last local that I know that even still attempts to eat here. I have mentioned these issues many times, staff couldn't care less. So disappointing. read more

This was some of the best food ever and the mimosa pitcher was just a beer pitcher with mimosa in it which I am a huge fan of. The vibes are ON and there was 1 server who was possibly also the cook and he did an amazing job. read more

Decor and ambiance is fun and inviting. The avocado toast was great. But the rest of the food was below mediocre. The omelettes were way over cooked and underseasoned - the spinach was so watery and completely drenched everything on the plate. The potatoes could be so interesting if they added a bit of rosemary or garlic, or even a seasoning salt. For a place that claims right on the menu that they're known for omelettes, the food was a real bummer. Service was fine, kinda had a too cool for school vibe. read more

The food was great!! I got an eggs Benedict with bacon and my husband got Garth's breakfast sandwich. So good!!

We went to put our name in at this Local breakfast/ brunch restaurant on a Saturday due to their great reviews on Yelp. Our wait was around 45 minutes so be ready to wait if you want to go here. We walked around some of the awesome local shops and one of the owners at a nearby store also highly recommended Squeeze In, so we knew we made the right choice. After getting seating, my husband ordered the Hail Mary drink which ended up being HUGE and came with lots of bacon and a grilled cheese. It was very very spicy and flavorful, which he enjoyed. For the entrees, I ordered the Racy Tracy and turned it into a scramble, my friend ordered a Big fat Greek omelette, and my husband ordered the Racy Tracy (as an omelette). The food did take a while to come out, around 45 minutes but the food was delicious and we extremely satisfied (and full) so the wait was worth it. They also have bottomless local sourdough bread, which is a great addition (and we were told the bread is made like two minutes away from the restaurant). They were playing rock and alternative music and the overall vibe of the restaurant was chill and home-y. Highly recommend this place and wouldn't definitely come back! read more

Recommended by the Staff at the Ritz. We arrived Sunday morning with a larger group than expected but we got a table surprisingly fast. Lisa was our server. She didn't seem to know how to answer any questions about the menu and I have food restrictions. Spilled a pitcher of mimosa in my husbands lap. Threatened to kill another server if she took her towel again. Don't care if it was jokingly said, because it was just weird. She made everyone uncomfortable too many times while trying to relax and we all could tell she was aware. Food was great but she just made the experience feel odd. read more

I wish I had a photo to share. The food was amazing. Highly recommend the Twice Baked Scramble and go ahead and add that avocado! Sam was the only server working and worked the tables with grace and excellence. Greeting guests, seating guests, serving, and busing. She is a champ!!! read more

Squeeze in is a brunch spot that has a grunge feel to it with tasty food options. If you want clean walls, might be best to skip this spot. They allow you to write on their walls and decorate it with stickers. The inside is a little small but I saw a table hosting 5+ people so if you have a bigger party they can still seat you. Went with their brunch options and did not disappoint. Lake Taco (pictured) with added Avocado. I grabbed their Mango Tajin Mimosa, the drink was ok, it wasn't the best it tasted almost bottled but nothing to ruin the brunch. Pancakes were also great Their portion sizes are generous so worth the price! Wait time came to about 30 minutes, they have a kiosk in the front for you to add your name to the wait list. If you have an extended wait time, they have plenty of shops you can visit to kill time. If you are looking for parking, park across and buy time for your slot. You'll only need you license plate number. read more

Great breakfast place! Good service, great food with a quirky but fun interior. The wife and I ordered: Jack Johnson Banana Pancakes (5 Stars) OMG, just get some! The pancakes were perfectly cooked with slightly crispy edges. The banana slice topping was cooked just enough to be soft around the outside but still mostly solid in this amazing sweet sauce with a touch of rum (l think), so good, The best I've had! Oh and the chopped walnuts inside were the perfect amount to balance everything. 1/2 Biscuits and Gravy (3 Stars). The biscuits were good, nothing special and same with the gravy. They should really add additional sausage bits to elevate the gravy. Chicken Fried Steak (4 Stars) The steak was well seasoned and crusted, really good stuff. The gravy works well, and when you layer over the fried egg and cut in letting the yoke run, you get one awesome bite. Top five chicken fried steaks. The sourdough toast was perfectly toasted and buttered. The only reason I'm not giving 5 Stars for the overall dish is because of the country potatoes, they are just ok, nothing special. They really should offer hash browns, country potatoes just doesn't cut it. Orange Juice (3 Stars) standard stuff, nothing special, not fresh squeezed. Until next time... read more

Wonderful breakfast for the fam during Spring Break! The coffee was hot, the food was delicious with generous portions and the service excellent! The ambiance is very kitschy, cozy and fun. Bobby Flay filmed Throwdown with Bobby Flay there and the Racy Tracy omelet was definitely something to write home about! YUM! read more

The service is very good. The people are lovely. The food could have potential, but our eggs scramble was cold and the pancake. was too sweet. We ordered it with bananas in it plain, and it came out with banana bananas on top of it and a lot of sweet sauce, which was much sweeter than we are ready for. I was tempted to give it a three but the service was really good and it probably is good on another day. read more

Cozy breakfast spot in downtown Truckee. After a morning walk, I was in need of some breakfast, and decided to head on over to the Squeeze In. I've been coming up to Tahoe for years, and have somehow never eaten at the Squeeze In before. I'd eaten at their Redwood City location in the past and remember enjoying it, so I had high hopes. Downtown was busy, so the restaurant was packed. Thankfully, the hostess was able to squeeze my brother, my dad, and me in. The vibes of the Squeeze In are great: very compact space, walls decorated with people's names and stickers, and lots of random trinkets placed within each table (I spotted an original iPhone and floppy disks in mine). The staff were friendly. I ordered the French toast combo, which came with eggs, a protein (I chose sausage) and four pieces of French toast. I chose to upgrade my French toast so it came stuffed with cream cheese and had strawberries and bananas on top. The eggs were your standard scrambled eggs. The sausage was warm and juicy, and had a little bit of spice. The French toast was different than I was expecting. There were four large pieces, and combined with the sausage and eggs, it made for a filling lunch, but the French toast just wasn't doing it for me. It was a little lukewarm, and the savory flavor of the cream cheese made it so that the French toast wasn't very sweet. It was overpowering. Personally, I'm a fan of sweet French toast, so this was kind of off-putting. When I got a bite with strawberries, bananas, and syrup, it gave the French toast a sweet enough flavor that worked well with the cream cheese. There was some powdered sugar on the French toast, but there wasn't enough of it to help with the overall flavor of the French toast. It wasn't a bad meal by any means; it just wasn't what I was expecting. For what itself worth, my dad really enjoyed his BLAT with turkey. I think I'll try one of the omelettes next time. If you find yourself in Truckee, I still recommend checking this place out for the vibes, and there's a lot of other good-looking dishes on the menu. read more

Nov 10th, 2022 Met a friend from Truckee and Sacramento CA for brunch. Aaron was our server; he was awesome. The food is pricey but, they give you a lot of it. We had: omelette, breakfast salad and breakfast bowl. Coffee, mimosas and bloody Mary's. The bloody Marys were really tasty. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere had a chill vibe. read more

Great food & service started going here in 1977 when we moved to Truckee. Moved back to So California in 1983 then moved to Dayton in 2022. Went to Squeeze In for breakfast to see if it was still there it was & was still the best food ever. read more

We joined the waitlist on our way there. We only had to wait 10 minutes for a table of 5 once we got there. Our server immediately took our food and drink orders and within 5 minutes we had all drinks and food. The entire process from start to finish took 45 minutes. Amazing! Food was perfect and service was incredible. Highly recommend. read more

Food was super tasty my husband got the hangover helper. I got French toast with sausage to share with our young child. The staff asked several times if we needed a high chair and were so kind and prompt. Food came out quickly for how busy it was. It had a great vibe hole in the wall and so unique. read more

Party of 10 waited 30 minutes, let the blonde lady with red leggings know, if we need to split the party up to get seated sooner, we don't mind. Multiple parties that checked in after us all got seated before us. (party of 5 & another of 6) I have screen shots of the que. Ended up waiting over an hour & ultimately decided to leave. Never again read more

This is an AMAZING brunch/breakfast spot. Parking can hit and miss, depending on how busy the area is. The staff are all amazing and sweet, the service is quick and the food/drink are amazing. There's a selection of delicious bloody Mary's and mimosas that are an absolute must-try! I got the Queen Maggie and it was so good! I upgraded it to the combo breakfast so it also came with eggs and bacon, which I recommend. The french toast was perfectly done, and the bacon and eggs tasted fresh and delicious! I wish this place were closer so we could go more often. Definitely give this place a try if you're nearby. read more

Squeeze In - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Truckee, California

Fantastic breakfast place right in downtown old Truckee. Great food and friendly fast service.

Great breakfast . Service was spot on with Adam doing very in courtesy and attentiveness.

I had to drive to Truckee for the day. We finished early (too early for lunch) so my wife found a breakfast place for us. She chose Squeeze In. I'm sure it was a typically busy day. We walked in and put our name on the list (a tablet). It said our wait was up to 45 minutes. It was nowhere near that long...maybe 10. I noticed people were scared off by the wait. If you're a couple, I'm sure your wait will be quite a bit shorter. Upon being seated, we both ordered coffees. They were served up immediately. When the coffee came, we ordered our food. I ordered the "Hangover Helper" omelet (although the menu says hashbrown are an option on the menu, I was told these aren't available at this location...so heads up). My wife had a half order of biscuits & gravy with eggs / bacon. I also ordered a bloody mary. The bloody mary also came out in short order. I ordered spicy. It wasn't too spicy, actually a perfect amount of spice. My wife then noticed they had mimosas, so she ordered one of those. A short time later, our food arrived. Pretty good considering how busy they were. The food was quite good. As we were finishing our meal, we realized my wife never received her mimosa. We tracked down our server and he was extremely apologetic. He found the mimosa and delivered it to our table. He mentioned he'd take care of the that on our bill. I won't say what he did, but he went above and beyond. He explained his reasoning. I wasn't going to argue, just decided to make up for it on the tip. The atmosphere is eclectic. Writing on the wall. Fun art all over the restaurant. Besides the mimosa, service was outstanding (besides the fact items were corrected on the bill). Besides our server, we had others stop by and check up on us...refill coffee and such. Food came out in an impressively quick manner and the quality wasn't lacking. Don't miss this spot! read more

We stopped in Friday morning coming from Reno Hot Air Balloon Race. Parked right in front (free parking until 10am). Walked right in and was seated right away. We ordered Avocado Toast - piled high with cucumber, bacon, tomato and cheese (delicious). The California omelette was also delicious, comes with mushroom gravy. In and out and on the road again. read more

Random stop but extremely satisfying. Great service also. Went for lunch and got blt with turkey garlic fry's. Was fantastic

Frankly, we're not sure what the hype is all about. Sure, it was an OK breakfast, but certainly no better than any other. One of us had an omelette that was quite good, but the rest was firmly ordinary. The place is well named, as it's very cramped. Service was very good, but the wait time was thirty minutes. There were at least two other breakfast spots a stones throw away with no wait. As we said, food was good without being remarkable. Our toast arrived cold and in buttered, and the potatoes went cold very quickly. Frankly, nothing to bring us back. If you're having breakfast in Truckee, you might try it. Having said that, it's certainly not worth a 30 minute wait. read more

While passing through Truckee, we popped into the Squeeze In for a quick lunch. The restaurant was small with eclectic decor. Apparently, writing your thoughts on the wall is a bit of a tradition. The service was excellent and we did not wait long for our food. My husband had the cheeseburger which he said was great. He especially liked the fries. I had the French Dip with a salad. The salad was a little plain but the sandwich was excellent. I highly recommend it! We might try breakfast next time... read more

What a fantastic brunch spot! Not sure how much I can add to the stellar reviews they have, but I will try. Went here with my wife and infant on a Saturday morning. The place was packed and they said 30-45 minute wait (it's a small place, hence 'Squeeze In'). But the servers work incredibly fast and we were seated in 20 minutes. Seriously, these folks get food out and bus tables like their lives depended on it. Tip them well! The food was delicious and plentiful. We got a small stack of banana walnut pancakes. I'm not sure what the full stack looks like but it is hard to imagine how big that would be, because the small stack was huge. We also got the Racy Tracy omelet, which was also huge. It had bacon and cheddar and came with potatoes, avocado (like a whole half avocado) and delicious fresh toast. We were so stuffed and the baby even got some food too. read more

I know it's good food. I have had breakfast there once. The problem is that we are locals and it's always so busy we can't get in. The wait is usually 45-60 mins. The last time we tried to eat there, we ended up going to Wagon Train and dropping off the wait list. I remember Squeeze-Ins French Toast being epic. read more

Food was great... just serve what you have on the menu... "added cheese n onions" not needed, especially at added unmentioned extra $ trivial but unnecessary.. read more

Great service!! Great food! We love to travel to Truckee. This may just be our new go to breakfast spot.

We really squeezed in our party of 6 for a Sunday breakfast! I ordered the Bobby Flay omelette, which was advertised as one of their best options but I found it to be a little underwhelming and extremely cheesy. The flavor was cheese. As someone who loves cheese, I still expected more complexity in flavor and texture. The potatoes weren't very interesting either. It all tasted pretty mediocre, but the servings were huge and I was able to split my $18 omelette with another person and still feel full. It was a gluten free friendly restaurant, making it clear with symbols which items were gluten free. It was a small restaurant with old school decor and artful walls. Paid street parking. read more

Stopped by for breakfast during our last visit to the Tahoe area. No wait for a table on a weekday morning, but the place filled up by the time we were leaving. Service was very friendly and responsive and we didn't have to wait long for our food. The food did not disappoint! We got the following: - half order biscuits & gravy with scrambled eggs & bacon - half order Queen Maggie (French toast filled with cream cheese and topped with bananas and strawberries) - English muffin toasted with butter - important to note these are unlimited though the menu doesn't say that, so have as many as you like! I'm confident we'll come by again next time we're in the area! read more

Aliens in the window and a Throw down with Bobby Flay sticker on the front window caught my eye so I peeked in and found a small bustling diner with walls graffitied by guests. We were looking for a brunch spot and decided to get on the Yelp waitlist to see what this place is all about. The menu brags of their famous omelette with bottomless toast and tasty side sauces and mimosas. The portions looked huge and I was not real hungry so I opted to share the huevos rancheros with my daughter and it was DELICIOUS! Definitely shareable! Service was super speedy and Adam was very attentive! read more

good for a big hearty breakfast! we put a reservation in for squeeze-in because of the great yelp reviews and the feature on the food network. we heard about the omelets, but one of the best items we ordered was the banana walnut pancakes! the seating was tight (accurately named), and the location was very messy and fun. the popeye omelet was good, but nothing to write home about. i would recommend topping any omelets with tabasco sauce and ketchup! the country-fried potatoes were all very good. paired with a perfectly buttered piece of sourdough toast, the omelets were hearty and yum! the banana walnut pancakes are some of the best pancakes i've ever had ordering out. the pancakes were perfectly cooked, fluffy, and browned, with a wonderful caramelized flavor. i'm not quite sure what the sauce is, but it tasted like banana caramel or browned butter. regardless, it was so addictive and delicious. read more
