Good ole' fashioned West coast style BBQ joint. We eat here too frequently (good thing we live in an active place!). There is NO way you can go here without trying the mac n'cheese. If you're vegan, we understand but for those who aren't... get the mac n' cheese! The naked jalapeño poppers are amazing, and Big, the ribs are tender and smokey, the smoked chicken sandwich is flavorful and satisfyingly crunchy from the coleslaw, the brisket and burgers are awesome too. Oh and the greens are flat out amazing. Eat here before you leave Tahoe!

Pizza, pizza! This is a locals' go-to pizza parlor. The staff is friendly, and it's locally owned. They make crusts thin or thick, and have whole wheat and cornbread crusts as well. They also have vegan cheese and pretty good beer/wine selection. The pesto chips are delicious.
