We went to the Grid at half time of the Super Bowl. Needless to say the place was packed. There were even a few brave souls watching the game outside. We were able to wedge ourselves into some counter space but I wasn't expecting much since they are so busy. Well we were very happy with the level of service we received and the quality of the food. The servers were constantly roaming, making sure everyone is happy. The food came fast and was fresh and delish. As for a venue to watch the game, you can't ask for more. Every wall was covered with big screens. Basically every direction you face there is a screen in front of you. Great venue to take in games and enjoy some grub! read more

Came here to watch some football games while we were in town for a trip. They were pretty busy and packed, but the energy was great and the locals were very friendly. A smaller bar & restaurant, but very cozy vibes. They had a good selection of cocktails, cocktails and shots. Good prices for their sizes. Food was pretty standard but tasty nonetheless. No complaints from our group! read more

Divey bar with all the standard bar food munchies. The mozzarella sticks and onion rings are fine, the beers are great. The staff was quick to get you drinks, and food didn't take too long to get. The vibe is a sports bar basically with a ton of TVs inside and out, good place to catch the game. read more

Great location. The waitress was super cool and sweet. I would definitely come back.

Food was very good, tasty, we had chicken and waffles and chorizo burrito from the breakfast special on weekends Service was excellent, considering they were short on staff, they seem to be managing the tables very good. Casual ambiance, we sat on the deck, overlooking the lake, there are some tvs for the sports fans , hope to get back while we still have good weather to sit outside , dog friendly ! read more

We found The Grid on Yelp when we decided to drive over to Lake Tahoe for lunch. Our server was Brooke, (with an 'e'), and she took very good care of us. Although she seemed to be the only server on the deck, other employees were delivering drinks and food to the tables. I ordered the Mushroom Swiss burger with coleslaw. It was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. And it was big! I brought half of it home along with the generous serving of coleslaw that was flavorful and had just the right amount of dressing. My hubby ordered the cheesesteak and fries. The meat was good but the cheese missed the mark. Now to the best part...the onion rings. They were so good, crunchy, big portion of onion and not greasy at all. We brought home more than half the order. We will definitely be returning to try out more menu items. Yummy! read more

Bad service. All we got was drinks. We ordered our food, and waited an hour and got nothing and just decided to leave. Whilst others had gotten their food, and they had came after us. Bad experience overall read more

North Lake Blvd., home of the main entry for Kings Beach, California. The grid for lake front shops and dining. Well what better way to mark the grid than dining at The Grid Bar & Grille. With big screens facing the boulevard, your next sports viewing party awaits you inside and outside. Yes, with a great tasting bar bites and an entree' menu to accompany your dining experience and a staff to make it all the more special. Be sure to pop in "on" the grid at The Grid Bar & Grill. read more

Great vibes and fast service. Sat on the deck and ordered a few beers. Also tried the Buffalo wings which were very tasty.

Old school sports bar with good fried standards (onion rings were excellent), crispy chips, salsa and tasty guacamole paired with reasonably priced beers and cocktails. Staff friendly and attentive, let us pace ourselves watching college football for several hours. Split a pizza because a burger would have been too much and it was fine too. A good place if you want to watch college football without distractions, just the game, beers and your favorite comfort foods. read more

This place was everything we needed, and it was truly wonderful. We hadn't eaten at a restaurant in 15 months. My husband has been battling aggressive cancer, went through a bone marrow transplant, and has endured many side effects from treatment. We're still working through lingering issues, but for this trip, his doctors finally gave us approval to eat out again (with outdoor seating). We came up from Folsom to escape the heat and celebrate this milestone. The night before, we tried another restaurant for our very first outing, and the experience left me in tears. Service was slow and not very friendly (though to be fair, the server was clearly in the weeds), and my husband's dinner was inedible--we left hungry and deflated. After that, we canceled all our other reservations and decided to just go with the vibe of a place instead. Thankfully, this restaurant gave us exactly what we needed. We felt comfortable and welcomed, and our server, Conner, was absolutely fantastic. He handled our modification requests with such ease and kindness, which immediately put me at ease after the disappointment the night before. My husband's Philly with onion rings made him genuinely happy--and seeing that made me happy. We both really enjoyed our meals so much. After such a long, difficult road, this meal truly felt like a gift. read more

Place was amazing. Food was delicious. Highly recommend the shrimp tacos so good. The service is amazing burgers massive. And Conner was our server he's so nice. read more

This place is alright. The burger was very tasty. They claim "The Best Burgers in Tahoe" on their menu. Not sure about that. I went here with three friends, two of which are more "local" and go here occasionally. They said the food is good, but warned the service isn't very good... kind of a vibe for mountain town dining! I'm used to it, coming from a mountain town. As we walked in, we were never greeted by a single employee as we made our way around the bar to the outside seating. We sat around for 5 minutes (most likely more) before we were finally greeted by an employee who seemed surprised we were there. The menus at the table were sticky and dirty. Once our server came, I ordered the Southwest Burger, medium, with coleslaw and a soda. My friends ordered some other burgers and one got chili as well. My burger was actually really good. It was pink inside like a medium burger should be. The coleslaw was pretty good as well. At least they can do two things right. The soda tasted funky- the telltale sign of dirty lines that aren't properly maintained. One of my friends ordered a burger with mayo instead of their "grid sauce". Her burger was served with just mayo on it... no produce. The server admitted it was her fault and brought some produce to the table in a paper tray. The chili was barely warm. My guess is it was microwaved and they pulled it out once it was splattering... but that's the way it is when you microwave chili- it seems like it's going to be hot, but it's not. This place relies HEAVILY on disposable utensils and cups. All of our drinks came in small plastic disposable (but compostable) cups. All the utensils are plastic. The coleslaw came in a paper tray. The chili was the only thing that came in something washable/reusable. The condiments on the table (like the menus) were filthy and sticky. The place is just a mess. Oh- and the restroom had no toilet paper. They never refilled my soda or water, which were empty mid-meal. They never even came by to check how we were doing. It wasn't even busy and there were plenty of open tables. It's obvious they are in need of better management. If the customer facing areas are dirty, imagine what the back of house looks like. I'm not sure why they don't have washable cups and silverware. It just seems insane to me to waste so much money on disposable items. Another sign they are in need of better management. I really wanted to give this place at least 3 stars because the burger WAS so tasty, but I just can't with how dirty it was and how poor the service was. I might go back because the burger WAS so tasty, but they need to work on a lot of things. read more

Zero stars would be more appropriate, horrible customer service. No hospitality skills from the bartenders. Was really excited to try out a local spot, food is good, but the lack of service makes it not worth trying it. read more

The food was amazing! I had the tomato soup and the grandpas grilled cheese. So good! The cider was good too. The bartender was the only one serving the bar and the back, so he was busy. The bar itself was cute. read more

Nice view of the lake and great price. They open till 2am! We like our salad and burger. Fish and shrimp Tacos are average. No salsa, only 1000 island salad dressing. Parking is easy to find even on a busy weekend. Food takes time to come but they were good. Service is average. If you want to see sports on TV, this is a great place to enjoy your cold beer past 9pm. Come here to look for your boyfriend/husband if he is not at home yet. read more

Came to Tahoe for some epic paddle boarding and my boyfriend and I ate the made in the USA burger without cheese with the side of fries and a pickle every day of the 3 days we were there post paddling. Sat on the patio, enjoyed the weather. Service was quick and simple (as one may expect in a bar) Each time we ordered that burger I swear it was better than the day before! I can't say anything about any other items on their menu but that burger was legit. read more

It's a good place to go. The ambience is very good. The chicken wings were too salty but the pizza was not bad

Mediocre bar food that takes ages to arrive to your table and servers who seem like they hate talking to people. I mean with an automatic 20% gratuity for larger parties, why bother trying to give ANY kind of good service right? Such a bad experience. read more

Came In to get some to go food to eat at the beach. Food was ok nothing special. The guy that took the order said it would be 12 minutes and my party waited outside when I came in to see what the hold up was after 20 minutes it was just sitting on the floor in a bag inside. Strange they didn't bring it out or let me know despite knowing we were all waiting outside. The part that really made me write this review was all the charges that popped up on my credit card after I left!!!!!! I am pissed I called 5+ times to get them to refund these charges and nobody will answer the phone and their voicemail isn't set up. What the hell don't trust this shady place! No customer service and no respect for other people's money. read more

Wow! Joe, Damian and Ian are rocking it! Way to go guys! The food and service was excellent! Love the teamwork that Sarah and the owners have organized! If you haven't been or it's been a while you should come on down to the family/local spot! read more

Bad customer service. Took forever to come back to our table to see if we needed anything. Seen an older man waiting 20+ minutes, he kept trying to wave them down to get their attention and still didn't get no help! read more

We drove into to Tahoe with a baby in tow and were super tired tonight. After a brief search we were happy to find The Grid was open and has an option to order online; their kitchen is open until 11. Unfortunately, after spending time picking out what we wanted and trying to order take out, it turned out online orders were temporarily down. The site instructed to call in. We tried calling but there was no answer. We waited a little bit and tried again... All for someone to answer and say, "It's Thursday and we're busy; you'll have to walk in." This person then hung up the phone. Needless to say, we will not be walking in. Especially not after going back and seeing other bad service related reviews. Safeway it is. Edit to add - the online orders being unavailable or being busy/understaffed are bummers but I wouldn't give one star over these things since they are sometimes out of restaurant control. The issue here was the way things were handled. If the person who answered the phone said sorry or acknowledged me at all/waited for me to say oh ok, etc... it wouldn't have been that hard for him and it would have changed a lot for my experience. Because he was so rude, I went back and noticed the other reviews about staff and service; then realized that this was more often than not the experience many people had. So again, I won't be subjecting myself to this joint. read more

I was a bit skeptical based on the reviews but this was a hit! I ordered the crispy fish sandwich with salt-less fries and it was fresh and delicious. Neither was oily. The service was fast and it was ready for pickup ASAP & the folks in the bar were nice. read more

The juiciestburgetyou could've gotten at a bar. We made an impromptu stop before heading to our hotel. The waitress was really nice. She was the only one holding down the fort and there were quite a few tables along with people at the bar. The burger was char broiled but what made it all was the sauce. The fries didn't disappoint as they reminded me of MacDonalds fries yummmmm! read more

A solid 3 star local bar and restaurant. The food is good, tasty bar food. The service is lacking, hence the 3 stars. We waited by the sign outside and we're told to find a table and seat ourselves. It seemed like there were 2 servers working and lots of tables that needed bussing. We ordered drinks for a little while then we got some food. Salad and boneless wings. Can't complain about the food it was good, typical 3 star bar food. read more

The burger was really tasty the onion rings were bomb but it wasn't the best in Tahoe !!!!

It was a perfect day for a drive to a north Lake to meet my husband for lunch. The Grid is one of his favorite spots. I quickly saw why- so many TVs for sports! I love the atmosphere in this place. It's obviously really popular; there was just one table open. The menu is a combination of bar favorites, which wasn't disappointing for lunch. I ordered the fish tacos. I have to honestly say they were the best I've ever had (and I tend to have them often). The soft flour tortilla was filled with guacamole, cucumber salsa, and cabbage then topped with perfectly crispy and tender fried fish. The chipotle aioli sauce on top added the best flavor. All the flavors combined in the most amazing way. I'm ruined for other restaurants' fish tacos now. I tried the burger and it too was great. Tender beef- you could tell it was good quality. The cheddar and bacon just made it even better. Couldn't ask for a better lunch on an pretty overcast day and a beautiful drive. read more

A Perfect and convenient burger stop. As we were acquainting ourselves with our Christmas vacation location-we came across The Grid Bar and Grill. Cute place that offers views of the lake from across a street. Walking in you are welcomed by a casual vibe that captures the best elements of a dive bar and delicious burger joint. We ordered the southwest burger and cheese fries. Both the burgers and fries were huge servings and really could be shared by two people. Overall-this is a great stop for burgers, fries, great service, and welcoming vibe! A must stop! Note: small parking lot. read more

Tonight, my wife and I stopped for dinner. I ordered the smoked blue cheese burger with onion rings, and my wife ordered the Born in the USA burger with onion rings. Two hours later, both of us came down with food poisoning and started vomiting! The bartender spent more time talking to locals at the bar than working in the dining room, leaving multiple customers waiting for service multiple times. There were three dogs playing inside the bar while their owners drank. This is a major health code violation! We will never return to this restaurant! read more

My husband and I went to this restaurant last week for the first time whilst we were staying in Lake Tahoe. We ordered food to go, the server that helped us was nice but what I do not understand is when our food came out from the kitchen, the guy that brought it out placed it on the floor, under the bar where people sit at the bar rest their feet. The food sat there for a few minutes next to a cleaning solution bottle, we were puzzled by this. My husband went to ask if this indeed was out food and it was. We dont understand why anyone in the food industry would do this or why we were treated like this. The bartender did offer to remake the food but at this point i had lost my trust in the quality of food. We left and got dinner somewhere else. read more

Sat at the bar and Gabby took care of us, she was amazing!!! Super sweet & bubbly, and made the best spicy strawberry margarita! Wish I was a local so I could come back more often, will definitely make this a stop on my next trip(: read more

Came here looking for a nice easy lunch in a comfortable setting for a dog and a toddler and this fit the bill. The outdoor patio was nice and spacious for our family. It was nice that they had TVs all around to watch the football games. The server was quite friendly and made sure the dog got some water too. We ordered the turkey sliders off of the kids menu, but dang, it was a big portion. Our toddler was super happy with the french fries and had a couple bites of the sliders. It was a portion that would probably make most adults happy. I got the crispy fish sandwich with a side of slaw and was pretty happy with it. It stayed crispy pretty much until the very end, so the last 2 bits or so the tartar sauce had made the batter and bun soggy but it was still delicious. Cole slaw was nothing special, but it was light and tasty and a great complimentary side to the fish sandwich. Cool spot for watching sports and grabbing some good food. read more

While walking through the bar to get to a table, a customer in front of us tripped over a dog lying on the floor behind the bar stools in a narrow walk way. The night before, a golden retriever was sitting on a bar stool at the bar. It took forever for a server to come to our table. Super long wait for drinks, even longer wait for food. One order came long after the others, and was wrong. The servers were rude and seemed irritated. Food was just ok. read more
