“This place is awesome, nickey the bartender is great. Really dog friendly. Not like other places that say dog friendly but very limited. Nickey loves the dogs, gets the fireplace going and you feel like you’re at home. Well worth the stop. Oh yeah the beer is really good too?“
“Was there on Monday, food and service were good. I can sympathize with reviewer who talked about the awkwardness of the 20% optional service charge, it is an added element that u really don’t want to deal with when ur out enjoying a lunch or dinner, yes the tipping system isn’t perfect, your always going to have people that do not tip accordingly whether service is outstanding or not. I tip 20% for “adequate “ service, if the bartender wishes to share 5% of that tip with cook that’s her business, I use that analogy because that’s the way the bartender explained the optional service charge to me. If the short order cook needs a portion of bartender/servers tip that’s on the owner. There was a vote by SLT board members that voted against minimum wage hike and some of the shedcat owners fellow small business owners came out against the hike. There reasoning was the majority of people in restaurant positions are transitional( part time students, seasonal workers), first time employed, etc. there arguments are sound knowing that if labor costs go up food/drink prices go up to pay for them which we the consumers ultimately pay for. One of the shedcat owners was recently quoted in a local news article as being very much in favor of the vacancy tax in SLT, I hope she/ he realizes a lot of the people that will be affected by this are potential customers that are not all rich people with big vacation home owners but just people who continue to work into there 60s to support there choice of a vacation ( way to take away there discretionary income) Owners of businesses are always looking to pass the buck to consumers( it’s the nature of the business) the mere suggestion of an optional tip is just another example. Rather than supporting legislation gouging hard working people out of there hard earned money maybe focus more on your business plan. If the article I read that shedcat ownership was quoted in is bogus/ untrue please let me know and I will retract a portion of my review. I live here but feel for people who have vacation homes here that have no say/vote in the process. I’d be willing to bet the people that live here part time spend as much on discretionary things like going to dinner/ more high end grocery items than us locals. Food for thought. Note that I gave a four star not a one star review.“
“We came here on a busy Saturday night and had a bit of a wait. The restaurant was very crowded and they squeezed us into a booth in the corner with barely enough room to slide in and out between our table and the neighboring table. The food itself was pretty good, but they charged extra to add meat to the dishes and then put barely any meat on them at all. We ordered a chicken enchilada and were served just plain cheese enchiladas. By the time we realized, we were almost finished with the rest of our dinner and told the waiter that our enchiladas were not chicken enchiladas as we had ordered. He hurried off to replace them without asking if we wanted them replaced even though we had finished all our other food. We ended up just taking them to go as we were finished with the rest of our dinner by the time they brought them out. Overall, not worth it for how expensive everything was.“
“Had a really nice vegan meal here. Good food all around. What really made the experience was Danny, an employee who works there. I'm not used to seeing people with so much enthusiasm for their work, and who are truly dedicated to providing an excellent customer service experience. If the owner is reading this, I suggest promoting this man, he’s the type of employee you want, who gives customers like myself a good reason to return. Many thanks for the all-round great experience.“
“I was in the Stateline Brewery on 3-9-2024 and I had an awesome experience. I sat over in the bar area and put in my food and drink orders as I went! Everything came out quick even though it was really busy on a Saturday at Stateline! The drink I ordered had purple gin and guava that was to die for, so refreshing and tasty. I had thr bacon jam burger which was super fresh and full of flavor. The restaurant space was super open and comfortable. Friendly staff!!“
“Whoa... Mind = BLOWN! What a fantasticc meal! I didn't know what to expect. The menu is primarily European, but that includes Germany, Russia, Italy, Poland, etc. I ordered Beef Stroganoff with spaetzle and it was the best I have ever had! Full salad bar, delicious homemade scratch soups. I saw another table order a pork shank that was massive! Friendly personalized service. Casual open dining room with a fireplace. If you don't know where to eat in South Lake Tahoe, this is the place!“
