Stopped by this place with my family. Pizza was really good! Drinks at the bar were great too and at a reasonable price. There was a young man taking orders at the register. He seemed like a quiet kid but he was very nice and was great at answering all our questions. When we arrived there was a few families there so it did take a little while for our pizzas to be ready but we didn't mind, they have a Pool Table and a Foosball Table where we entertained ourselves. It is also in a great location. We took a walk outside before we left, the view is incredible out there. I recommend stopping by here if you're ever in the area read more

First time staying at Strawberry Inn: arrived Thursday-Sunday. * Saturday 6th My best friend getting married to her fiance 1. I feel like Loft is a bit dangerous the stairs are very steep if your not careful you can fall 2. In the shower there was no handle's to hold, if your not super careful you can slip or fall 3. Not all cabins where clean Thursday but they didn't end up finishing them till Friday afternoon , sucks some people had to sleep in the cars, someone couch, it would of been nice if a head notice so family members or friends can find a motel room for night 4. Venue was beautiful, quiet, read more

We eat at Strawberry Inn Restaurant anytime we stay in the area for the weekend. It's quaint, clean and has beautiful views of the river. My two little boys love playing foosball while we wait for our food. It's casual, but you can tell they put care into the dishes. Staff is always hospitable and kind. read more

If you're used to lots of elite amenities do not stay here. Also it is not safe. The owners abandoned us midweek. Closed the restaurant and desk for 2 days. They never informed us when we made reservations. When we found out we were the only people in the hotel late at night we packed up and left. No emergency numbers given. No landline, no refrigerator or microwave. Hot water takes forever to reach sink. Low water pressure. Restaurant food was good when available. Staff was friendly. Won't stay here again. read more

Excellent!! The service was outstanding! The food was delicious! Our French fries were crisp. The lettuce on the salad was extremely fresh and crisp. The sandwich was so good and the toasted bread made the sandwich. We could go on and on. My husband and I loved everything about the Strawberry Inn. After a long day of hiking around Pinecrest Lake, this was perfect! This is our new go-to restaurant when we are snowshoeing in the winter and hiking the rest of the time. Worth the drive from the valley base. Thank you! read more

Ate here while staying at the lodge. Great outdoor views from their deck as you look down on a creek. The staff was awesome from morning to night. Very caring making sure I had everything I needed. I even ate breakfast next to on of the staff who was also eating and had a nice chat. Felt like a group of friends. I had their Strawberry burger and their Strawberry omelette. Both dishes tasted good, the omelette could have had some more seasoning and the potatoes chopped a little smaller but overall good. read more

They have some of the best food I've ever had in my life. I'm a very plain Jane when it comes to burgers and this was one of the best cheeseburgers ever. Perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned, and perfectly toasted bun with very melty cheese! I only intended to eat half but I ruined my diet with this burger and perfectly seasoned fries. I couldn't stop myself from eating the whole meal! 12/10 recommend Strawberry Inn for lunch or dinner! The staff themselves are some of the nicest people I've encountered in a restaurant setting. They care about their customers as if they were their own family. Their pizza is beyond phenomenal as well!! read more

I would not recommend this restaurant. I've eaten there a couple times over the years and the food is mediocre. The nachos are awful. I live in Pinecrest and I had some guys working on my cabin. I thought I might order a pizza for them. I was told over the phone that they do not take to-go orders and I would have to come and order in person. This makes no sense for a place that sells pizzas. Go to Mia's or the Steam Donkey if you're in strawberry or Pinecrest. read more

So the man in the diner was rude unprofessional and judgmental because we came inside in a large group of white family and black family together!! It was my nephew's 8th birthday and this man wanted to charge us $2 per cupcake to come into the building after we spent a ton of money in our group with this diner last night!! He says it's the owners rule to do so because they also sell deserts!! He was rude and judgmental and treated our black family as they were unwelcome!! I feel like if we were all white the rules would've been so different then he kept taunting us and watching us while we still ate there regardless of his rudeness!! He doesn't wear a name badge so I can't say who he is but even last year we had them same problem with this man but the lady and cook were amazing attentive and complementary to the children and our family!! I'm ashamed for this establishment for him still being employed there with his rude demeanor!! I will never attend there again we just thought maybe last year he was having a bad day so we'd try again and lesson learned we won't go back!! The only reason you're even getting a star is because I can't leave a review without leaving one!! The food was good but not for the price or the treatment given read more

Came here around 10 am on a Sunday. The place was deserted, you walk into the bar first and are greeted by a lady who takes your order and gives you a buzzer when your order is done. Tells you to sit wherever you'd like in or outside. We ordered the bacon breakfast burrito, which had no flavor at all, and the eggs Benedict, which was good. They were served on paper plates and plastic cups. Sign posted says to clean up after yourself but it's ok to leave the cups. We sat inside because of the bees. Looked nice outside overlooking the river. Not to many places to eat up here but maybe we'd try dinner next time. read more

Safety concerns, uncomfortable, overpriced and smelly. But I will say that there were nice employees who are doing their best. Safety concern: There are no landline phones in the rooms. Mountain cell reception is inconsistent. We have t-mobile and did not have any cell reception. Hotel WiFi goes in and out. This means that in an emergency there may be no way to call emergency services. Please keep in mind before booking if you have medical conditions. An old man slipped on ice in the morning. If it had happened at night it may have been a really bad situation. If you stay here, save driving directions to the nearest hospital on your phone ahead of time. In our case we had no way of contacting anyone when the pipe under our sink started flooding the bathroom at night. Since there's no front desk when the restaurant is closed, there's no way to contact anyone. Luckily my husband found an employee in the hall who lives in the apartment above the restaurant and she fixed our sink late at night. When you check in they don't give you any direct contact info for who to call after hours. People checking in late have their room keys taped to the wall by the front door in envelopes with their name on it, and room number is on the inner envelope. This means that anyone off the street could potentially come in and take a key and gain access to the guest corridors. Or let someone into your room to wait, if you're into horror movies. If you arrive and your key isn't there and it's after hours, you may have no way of contacting anyone at the hotel since there is no front desk and cell reception is not available for some people depending on carrier. Even if you have reception they don't answer after hours. The rooms smell overpoweringly of cheap perfume-y cleaning solution. There is no mini fridge. No curtains -just blinds- so if you have small kids get ready to be awake at the crack of dawn. No tub. This would be fine if they weren't charging the same as a nice hotel. It was our bad since we booked last minute. There is a reason this is the last place with vacancies. Pizza was good though! And employees were nice. It's next to a pretty river and there is a cute general store across the way where they make homemade chili and fudge. read more

Beautiful location. Clean rooms. Food is good not great. I hear the pizza is the thing, I didn't have it. Recommend eating outside near the river. Bar near by with pool tables. Staff is very friendly and they work hard. I noticed a lot of old reviews which are disappointing for sure but that wasn't my experience. My only complaint is no refrigerator or ice. Considering the cost that is definitely a negative. I just went across the street to a convenient store and bought some with a portable plastic cooler. I stayed for 6 days. Very busy on weekends like everything up here. Not so much midweek. I will be back. read more

They took forever to make our wings. They forgot or lost our order. The staff isn't friendly. That atmosphere isn't great. The food quality was not good. It's too bad there aren't more options in the area. read more

Charming place but the pizza is great if you're a teenager but adults will get sick. The crust is extra thick we were both ill for hours with indigestion and pain. I asked if next time we could order a thin crust and they said no. They have no clue not everyone can eat thick extra goo pizza. It was not fully cooked either which doesn't really bother me usually but it did this time. It tasted great but never again will we order their pizza. When I asked about a thin crust the look was huh ? Why? Order at your risk read more

My husband booked this place very last minute so that we could go skiing at Dodge Ridge, which was only 11-18 minutes away from this inn. When we arrived, the first thing I noticed was that there was only a few cars parked in the outdoor parking lot. As we approached the staircase, there was a lady who was smoking a cigarette right in front of the entry door sitting on the entry staircase. When we asked where we can check in, she got up and said that she could help us check in. She was the employee! As we entered, she led us to the billiards/lounge/bar/eating area. There were only a few people there so I didn't think anything of it. We then ordered a medium pizza because a lot of the items were no longer available. To order food, we had to stand at the bar and order it from the same lady who checked us in. Later that night, we ended up playing billiards and then headed to sleep. The next morning, after being the only ones there to grab breakfast, one of the other female staff members asked if we wanted to order breakfast for the next morning since their chef and kitchen was closed tomorrow morning. I was confused because it was a work week, so why on earth would they be closed? Without questioning, my husband ordered us all breakfast. That same night, we get a knock on our hotel door and find a stack of containers next to our door. It was our breakfast! Mind you, there was no refrigerator, microwave, table, chairs or seating in our hotel room. So we left them outside our hotel door to prevent our hotel room from smelling up. The next morning, we had to go downstairs and into the exiting hallway to heat our now cold breakfast (which had cheese and other items that can spoil) in their microwave and eat with the plates they provided and plastic utensils. It was really hard to eat the food on our laps. The breakfast room, which had buckets of soapy water and signs stating where to put away your dishes, was completely locked up. Not even the billiards room was open and the 2 employee were gone. So we ended up eating what we could and left. It was horrible! Not only was it pretty vacant, but the room looked super bad. Orange walls, A/C punched through the wall, boob light as a ceiling mount, no Netflix or other movie channels you could log into, everything was really small and builder grade, lighting in the bathroom was nauseating, and it was really tacky decor. There is no elevator so to haul your suitcases upstairs took some balance (stairs were not to code and slanted) and strength. I think the only thing we liked was how close it was to Dodge Ridge and the river. Wish this historic inn could get new management or ownership as well as a makeover. Paint over those strange murals in the hallway. No one wants to see a female snowman painting with breasts (see pic). read more

I would never do business with this place again. I booked two rooms but then had to immediately cancel because of change in plans. My cancellation was months away so well within cancellation policy. They took a long to issue a refund. Then, months later a few days before the cancelled reservation they charged me again. I've written and called to no avail. I'm pursuing a dispute with my credit card company. Never again, what a hassle. Terrible customer service read more

if I could leave less than one star I would. paid for "river view" its a roof top with no view (room 3). the room door has a 1/2" gap to the hallway that anybody passing by can see into the room. had to cover it up with the spare blanket. the beds are horrible, like 4x8 sheet of plywood, and the frames/springs creak and pop at the slightest move.. I should have known when there was only one other car in the lot at 9pm. high ratings on other sites are BS, beware... read more

This place is the absolute worst! Waited an hour for our order, and fi ally asked about it when it was announced the kitchen was closing. I was basically told that it was 3rd in queue, but because they were already serving a large group I told them that we ordered before that group and I didn't want to wait since it had Been an hour. They said they just now 'started it' so I requested a refund, which pissed off the managet because he said 'i just now started it'. I was called a liar by the manager and told there was no way I had been there an hour. The cashier told him my ticket went in at 220 (it was now 315) and he just stormed off into the kitchen. So extremely rude! The cashier was pleasant and apologized on his behalf and said he was out of line but she shouldn't have to cover for him. I'm now livid and starving. I'm sure the only reason that place is still open is bc its the only one that far up the hill in winter. But is try to avoid if you can. read more

We had the strawberry inn burger and it was good! Service great and their homemade ranch was even better!! Definitely recommend

Not a bad place to grab a decent burger. The Strawberry Inn looks like a log cabin in the woods. It is surrounded by beautiful pine trees and forest. They offer comfortable outdoor and indoor dining, pool table, small bar and a simple menu. Pizza, burgers, fries, deli sandwiches, nachos were the items I saw on the menu. The burger itself and fries in my point of view were just a step above your average burger. I will say $15 for a burger and fries it is a bit pricey, but I understand. Most of these locations are seasonal and they have to make their cut. read more

Lovely little inn up in the Sierras, a mile or so uphill from Pinecrest Lake. Decent food, warm hospitality, gorgeous wooden doors. We stopped by earlier this week on the way down after a family drive up to the melting snow up at 9000 feet, and were famished as we pulled into the parking lot (it was almost 2 pm). The first thing I noticed was the gorgeous wooden double door - this was a thing of beauty in keeping with the woodcarving tradition of the Sierra's. It took my breath away, and I spent a few minutes admiring it while my hungry family waited patiently (they are so good to me). The restaurant was warm and welcoming inside, with a long bar on one end, pool and foosball tables, and a solid-looking Stone fireplace. We found a window table and ordered our drinks and food. Cheese pizza for the kids, spicy pulled pork sandwich with fries for the missus, Bavarian sandwich with a side of soup for me. The food was decent, the portions huge. We were hungry and polished most off, taking the rest to go. The fries were exceptional, as was the Cole slaw, and the kids enjoyed their pizza. Service was warm and hospitable - the owners are Czech and have owned the Inn for a couple of generations. They were generous with advice on things to do in the area, and let us use their WiFi when we told them we didn't have cellphone service. After lunch, we all played some foosball, and then I poked around the property some more while the family used the restroom. I was delighted to find another carved wooden door - smaller but equally impressive. As we drove off to our next destination - Pinecrest Lake - I reflected on our experience. I'll always remember Strawberry Inn as the place with decent food, warm hospitality, and gorgeous wooden doors! read more

The atmosphere is quaint and fitting for the surrounding area (I would say "town," but there's only a store across the street and the rest is housing and campgrounds), the food was good and the service was about the best it could be. For those who do not know, this place is up for sale. Given this, it seems that most of the people who worked there may have abandoned ship leaving the current staff scrambling and trying to fill orders. I forgot the name of the lady at the bar, and she was nice; however, she was the only one working and definitely seemed overwhelmed due to the 15 people wanting to place orders. Overall, this place seems like it would be excellent if you're looking to grab a drink and some food, but treat the workers with respect if you go here. read more

The buffalo wings were raw, the tables were dirty, the waitress was mean, the food took 40 mins to make and the grilled cheese was oily.

This is my first time, in my 40 years of life, that I was told I was rude, i would be refused to be served, and I would be reported to police, by a restaurant waitress. Here is what happened in this restaurant next to hw108 Walked into "strawberry inn restaurant". There was only 1 waitress there taking orders and deliver food. I ordered cheese burger and chicken wing, because I was rush to go home. I thought burger and wing are quick and easy like other fast food. Made payment and tips in advance as that waitress who took my order looks friendly, before received any food or her "friendly" services. Their food is not cheap. Being the only restaurant in middle of that mountain area (hw 108), I will say whatever price list must be "reasonable". In next 45 mins to 1hour of waiting, I got nothing, even the customers, who took order after me, got their food. I checked with that "friendly" waitress few times on the status of my order, until she lost her patience and told me I was "rude". Sure, I was so rude as I had no choice but asked her for refund after 45 mins of waiting. More and more customers stood up and started complaining their service, long time waiting, and requested for refunds. That "friendly" waitress gave a "friendly" warning, "you can leave, but no refund", she would call police if we "want to". One guy left without taking his order, another lady started recording video on that waitress.... while I felt so bad being such a "rude" customer. Right before I decided to take my lost and walked out "Strawberry inn restaurant" without refund and food, my burger and chicken wings were surprisingly ready. Our "friendly" waitress hand over my food, and kindly reminded me she would remember my face and refuse to serve me in the future. If they have surveillance camera, everyone, manager, customers, coworkers, or maybe police should review what happened today 5/27/2024 from 1:30pm to 3pm, and tell me if I had any rude activity or said a rude word offended that noble lady. I always thought Tip is a way showing respects to the people who helps us. Until today, here at "Strawberry Inn Restaurant", I was educated that Tip also meant embarrassing myself being "stupid" and "rude". No comments on their food. No one can eat anything after such a sincere conversation. In case, you would like to give a try on this "Strawberry inn Restaurant", make sure ask yourself if you have enough patience to wait for their "slow cook" burger or a virtual chicken wing on their menu, ask yourself if you would like to get yourself into a trouble to talk to police for your "rudeness" on food status check, ask yourself if you are willing to cover your face while dining as "you will be remembered". Like what that waitress said "Only patience can get you food...." I ... totally agree! As trade off, I lost my time, my appetite, my good mood. read more

***********Copied from Google maps review ****** Came in on a Memorial weekend Monday. There was only one person taking orders and calling in beeper to dish out completed orders. On a busy Monday like this, this combination of one cook + one staff member quickly became a bottleneck, leading to 1. Wait times for more than 40mins for something like a salad. 2. Dishing out orders out-of-order (meaning no longer first come first serve), even though they were of the same type. When me and couple of other customers started asking for refund for non-completed orders, staff started talking rudely and started threatening customers to call cops on them. Point is, keeping aside the systematic and regional bias, the staff needs "Working Service Industry 101". If you are w/o options, come on in with pretty low expectations and bail out early! Should save you an hour! read more

While the location is good if you plan to ski at Dodge Ridge I would not recommend staying here, there is no microwave or refrigerator they have a restaurant but it was closed one of the nights we stayed there. The walls are also very thin and we heard our upstairs neighbors doing adult stuff in the middle of the night and no phone in the room to call a front desk because there is no front desk to help! Would not stay here again. read more

Food, service, & atmosphere are great! My husband and I have eaten here several times, and we just went today with our kiddos for lunch.

This is a place we go to every year in August. I'm glad they're still around. They have a back garden area seating that is so calming and beautiful. Worth the wait in food. Since the pandemic started they no longer have waitresses/waiters. Now you walk up to the bar and place your order. You get a buzzer and you find a seat. Bartender is great. Not bad food but they reduced the menu also to like 7 or 8 things. 3 drinks cocktails and a burger and a sausage appetizer- out the door was $62. read more

We haven't been here for a while but when we come we always stop at the Strawberry Inn for breakfast. Today we were heading there from Pinecrest but the road was being paved and cars were being held up. We finally got there at 11:15. They told us "Too bad. Breakfast ends at 11. We explained the road construction held us us. They were inflexible. And snappy. They suggested we order lunch, Hungarian goulash. Who wants goulash for breakfast ? The place was entirely empty. Not one person eating. So it wouldn't have been a great imposition. The people who work there were just sitting around chatting. I guess they'd rather lose customers than have to cook eggs 15 minutes after breakfast. read more
