Juicy & thick burgers were all tasty & big. Outdoor & Indoor seating options are available. Live (good) music was a bonus. Waitress was friendly & attentive.
*Gluten-free items are noted on the menu.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been here, but the menu continues to impress. I ordered the A.T.O.M. bagel with gluten-free bread, which was fantastic. I really appreciated that with the substitution, I was not charged extra. The perfect place to sit and enjoy the delights of South Lake Tahoe.
I also really appreciate the menu, which makes it very easy to see what other options are available and what is popular. The wait in line is always a little long, but it is worth it. This is one of the OG places to find vegan and vegetarian food and it continues to impress.
Gluten free pizza, wings, and tots. The GF pizza was great. My friends had the regular pizza and said it was great. The house spicy sweet bbq sauce is really good. They even have a GF calzone that I'll have to try next time.
Really good gluten free Shepherd's pie. It was filling after a day of hiking. It had real U.K. vibes, down to having to go downstairs to find the restroom.
Food was delicious. Server was very attentive. We have kids with food allergies - one became sick from gluten cross contamination. Our table was not near the front door, but we were very cold because the guests checking in were holding the door open which created a draft through the restaurant. Many people inside were wearing their jackets - they should move the check in desk outside.
Such a great place for a family meal with deliciously authentic food! Our server, Tyler, made our meal such a fun experience! 10/10 would eat here again & pay $20 to buy the kitchen staff a round of beers!
(They were also GREAT about gluten free food!)
Amazing sushi dinner! We had a BBQ albacor and Beet poke for appetizers. Then moved to Mushroom and Lilly roll along with Nigri seared tuna and a glass of Pinot Noir. Our waitress was Danni and she was fantastic. We were a challenging table with a vegan and gluten free diners. Danni rose to the occasion and we were delighted with our food and service. We would highly recommend Yugen Cuisine and will return to dine again!
I'm from the East coast and thought this would be like a new York pizza but it's not. It's that gritty/sandy type pizza and the pepperoni taste different than usual. I'd rate it a 6/10. And $25 for a medium is pretty expensive to me. I don't know if it's different because it's organic, non GMO and gluten free. Some people may like it, I dunno but I won't be back unfortunately. Kinda like a hipster place with pool tables and beer that happens to make pizza 🍕
Great burgers. My friend had the gluten-free bun and liked it. My other friend had the impossible burger said it was just OK. My burger was excellent. Lots of tables to sit outdoors. And is dog friendly.
This is our favorite restaurant in South Lake Tahoe. We take all our guest here. Real wasabi, fresh fish, great sushi rice, yummy miso, awesome staff, delicious drinks and always accommodates my gluten free choices. They even have a gluten free menu. We are locals so don’t eat out much but when we do it’s because we are craving this restaurant. Thank you for always being a great go to and serving up the best sushi in town 🤩✨🫶🙌🏼
It was really great that they have gluten free options. The gluten free bun actually tastes good too. That’s rare. Food was absolutely fantastic and the service was great too. This place is highly recommended. Definitely give it a try!
Simple rotisserie and taco+burrito counter with really high quality food. The ingredients are top notch. They have chicken and tri tip on the rotisserie. Also fish and plenty of veggie, vegan, gluten free options. We got fish tacos, a tri tip burrito and a salad, it all came in about three minutes. Relaxed atmosphere with a few outdoor tables. This is going to be one of the local favorites very quickly.
Food is excellent everything is made on the premises including all the pasta. They also have gluten free pasta. Very affordable. I highly recommend Primos.
Great food, unfortunately they had no offerings for vegetarians. My wife and I forgot to check the menu ahead of time, so that's our bad. They have great cocktails and an amazing view, so we tried to make the best of it with a selection of hors d'oeuvres, but they only had one of the meatless options available. So we had a couple salads and the zucchini with a tzatziki sauce, then ordered a couple desserts. Not the most filling meal (particularly for $122 without tip), but what we had tasted fabulous. Everything was flavorful and elegantly served.
We were seated at 5:30, and they were already out of one of the hors d'oeuvres, and before 6:30 we heard them telling other people that they were out of half the things on the menu. So it seems they have some planning issues, but the server was very friendly and as helpful as you could ever ask for. We heard her spend almost 10 minutes talking through the potentially gluten free options with another table. I would not have had her patience.
We had a fabulous meal at Kalani's, food and drinks were delicious and service was outstanding! They have good gluten-free selections for celiac people like me.
We stopped here for dinner before leaving Tahoe. There was no wait, the server was very efficient getting everything out quickly. There are vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options, which I was very grateful for. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is the tables are too close together. I get they did it to fit more people to decrease wait time, but at this point, they need to consider expanding or doing a patio with heaters and misters.
We order from here last year on accident and ended up being a new pizza favorite! Regular and their gluten free crusts are really good! Had same guy deliver to us both times this past week as we did last year. Really friendly guy and his customer service is great! See you guys next year Bob dog!
Nice little Mexican food restaurant. Staff was nice. First chips and salsa is included, if you ask for more salsa, it's $2 for each one. They don't give you a heads up on that, they just bring it and then charge you. Fyi. Still good food. They have gluten-free free options.
So good we had dinner and then lunch the next day! Absolutely delicious, full of flavour and has been the best place so far on our California road trip in meeting the dietary needs of my family - one vegan, one with both gluten and dairy allergies, and two seafood lovers!
Every mouthful full of flavour - well worth the money as it is also reasonably priced.
My go-to morning coffee place. Great acai bowls, and the staff and owner are all super awesome! If you're gluten free, you can get the burrito as a bowl instead!
My gluten free pizza personal size had most of the bottom/edges of the crust was burnt making it too hard to eat. When I tried to bite into the crust due to the hardness the cheese, toppings just slid off. I will say the flavor was pretty good. I’m just not accustomed to eating my pizza in pieces like that, especially when it’s so expensive. I tried to call but the phone was not working and apparently I had to have an account to leave a message. Judy Domingo
The coffee we had was excellent. The Barista super kind and made us an extra hot one when ours wasnt hot enough. The gluten free pastries were pretty decent. Loved the atmosphere and vibe of the place. Will definitely come back.
Great tuna melts! On the way back from Tahoe we found this gem. Didn't have high expectations but was better than bay area tuna melts. I got mine on gluten free bagel and without cheese and that was excellent too. Hubby got his the regular way and it was really good. Not sure which bread they used but seemed like they make it in house, it was that fresh.
Kids got grilled cheese and ate without complaining.
Ice creams we tried: almond pistachio, butter pecan, cookies and cream. All very good.
The place has holiday decor and gives a very cozy vibe.
Decided to try Chicos after stopping in the plaza to get a coffee next door. I was a little surprised when rung up bc it was a little pricey. My skepticism completely disappeared after the first bite. Easily one the best burgers I’ve ever had. It was large, fresh and so delicious. Every aspect was so good, including some really great gluten free buns. Chinos is well worth it and is now on my list for stops any time I’m ever in Tahoe!
One of the first things that I saw when I entered the building was a sticker that said "I love Gluten". Having a minor gluten sensitivity, I was worried how this would play out. One of the owners walked out and asked if we had any questions. After mentioning my concern he walked through every menu item's ingredients. There were two options that seemed be safe but he was unsure about the second. He went to the kitchen and talked to the chef who was also unsure. The owner then called the off duty person in charge of prepping that dish.
I am very grateful for the level of service and consideration that was provided here. Full disclosure, there were not many gluten free options, but the pork shank was delicious.
We're long-time "Beacon" customers and arrived to find it's now "The Grove." Our experience (four of us) was disappointing. First, the $15 fee to access the restaurant was collected a guy who lied to us and said, "Oh, it's always here in the summer." B.S. I've never paid in my life and the restaurant didn't refund it.
Second, the food was lackluster. One of the three cups of hummus had a metallic/foul taste...yuck. Fries were soft and limp. The gluten-free bun with the chicken sandwich wasn't good at all.
Third, as with everything--the price was high. $82 bucks for two with a couple of drinks. Not terrible, but add in the $15 parking/access charge and meal tip--and we're at $115 !
And a final note...just gross. Talking about the server/busboy who had a toothpick in his mouth the whole time we were there...and I saw him take it out and put it back in his mouth a couple of times.
Gotta scratch the "The Grove" off our list for a while. Plenty of choices in South Lake Tahoe.
My partner and I were looking for a place to eat that was just light and refreshing. But also gluten free. And this little sandwich shop did just that. They also have excellent customer service! We will be back!
My grandparents and I come here every summer, the experience and food is always phenomenal! Today we were welcomed by two nice lady’s. The food was spectacular, especially the Nutella crepe I had. My grandpa is gluten free and this year they have a new gluten free English muffin option! Overall we have a great experiences every time we step foot into this restaurant!
Celiac friendly
