    At here on a Sunday and we came a few minutes after they opened. Which was good because by the time we left there was a line out the door. So come early to skip a crazy long line. The food was good.

    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.

    Classic Chad Burger
    Bobby M.

    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!

    Inedible French toast and root hash tasted
    Anna W.

    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.

    My friend and I were looking for spots to eat at in Truckee and decided to go to Squeeze In. The food and service is great per usual. There was only one server that day and he did well! The ambiance was great and very cozy. Everything was cooked to perfection!

    The Spanish Flay Omelette
    Jacynda O.

    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.

    The Garth breakfast sando
    Erin A.

    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.

    Great breakfast here. Desert too. Yummy. So delicious. Worth the stop. if you're in the Truckee area or driving by, you got to stop by and check them out. Totally worth the stop. Great scenic area as well.

    We stayed right across the street from Jax and decided to stop in for lunch…read more We ordered the clam chowder and a beef dip sandwich to share. The clam chowder was excellent--just the way my wife likes it. It was on the soupier side with bacon, celery, plenty of clam meat, and just the right amount of potatoes. Definitely something we'd order again. The beef dip, unfortunately, was pretty lackluster. The sandwich was simply sliced roast beef without much flavor, and the au jus was also very mild. I ended up adding some flavor crystals (salt) just to bring it up to "meh." On the positive side, the fries were good. Overall though, it's not something I'd recommend or order again. The staff was great. When our server heard we were sharing, they kindly split the sandwich and fries onto two plates for us, which we appreciated. We'd probably return at some point.

The burgers were good according to my husband and son but the BLT was such a disappointment and the onion rings had burned bits all in the bottom of the tray. I don't like their "plates"- not sure how they clean and maintain the cutting board they serve the food on but seems like a breeding ground for bacteria? Just not a fan. I was hoping after being on Diners Drive-ins and Dives that the quality should be there, even something as simple and basic as a BLT should be stellar or just take it off of the menu. Sadly I won't be coming back- prices were high for the quality.

Also had a breakfast sandwich option as well. I personally wasn't a fan of the breakfast burrito but my boyfriend really enjoyed his. The rice and beans were 90% of the burrito with very tiny bits of chorizo here and there so it just didn't feel like breakfast to me and I didn't finish mine. Everyone has different tastes though so if you enjoy bean and rice burritos I'm sure you would like this!

It's located right next to the lake, making it a super convenient and scenic spot to stretch your legs and grab a bite. The Experience We arrived on a Friday afternoon and, despite it being a busy time, we only had a 10-minute wait before being seated. It's a family-owned spot, and you can really feel that warmth in the service--the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We absolutely loved the relaxed, local vibe of the place. The Food The portions here are generous and the flavors are spot on. Here is what we tried: * The Turkey Melt: My wife ordered this and it was massive! It came on perfectly grilled sourdough with cheddar, grilled onions, turkey, bacon, and avocado. She paired it with a fresh side salad and said the sandwich was amazing. * The Tuna Melt (with a twist): I went for the tuna melt on grilled sourdough with jack cheese, tomatoes, and--the best part--jalapeños and grilled onions. It was a fantastic twist on a classic. I got the sweet potato fries on the side; they gave me a huge portion and they were delicious. * "San Julian Style" Chicken Tacos: My son got these and was really happy with his dish. You get three corn tortillas filled with chicken cooked in their homemade salsa, topped with lettuce, tomato, and avocado. They serve them with salsa and sour cream on the side--definitely a hit! Verdict We definitely recommend this place! Between the tasty food, the friendly atmosphere, and the prime location right by the water, it's easily one of our favorite finds in the area. We will definitely be back. Tip: If you're heading toward the slopes or the lake, don't just drive by--pull over and eat here!
