2. Brooks' Bar & Deck at Edgewood Tahoe
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 305 reviews
We did it. We redefined classic pub fare with an ambitious menu of our own, served it up with a side of lake views from our sun-drenched deck and topped it off with the lake's most iconic mojito. Brooks' Bar & Deck has taken its place as the premier post-play watering hole in the State of Nevada. Offering great food and an amazing atmosphere to enjoy with friends, Brooks' has become one of South Lake Tahoe's best restaurants that everyone can enjoy. Brooks' was recently selected by the editors of Golf Digest as one of the "Best Golf Pubs," joining an additional 10 other pubs worldwide in famous golfing locations including Pebble Beach, California; Pinehurst, North Carolina; St. Andrews, Scotland; and Doonberg, Ireland. With the majestic snow-capped Sierras in the distance, guests can relax on Brooks' expansive deck and take in the heavenly postcard-like views of the golf course and Lake Tahoe. Located right off Edgewood Tahoe's picturesque 18th hole, this is home to one of the greatest sunsets of the world, and it happens daily! Within, Brooks' feels very much like a sports bar designed by Frank Gehry: sweeping vaulted ceilings, walls of glass windows, a handsome wooden build. Yet the beautiful architecture belies the comfortable feel and attitude. With multiple flatscreen TVs tuned to the biggest games of the day, the bar features a number of quality local brews and a variety of signature cocktails. Casual dining fare, deluxe appetizers and entrees, and sophisticated comfort food all put Brooks' at the top of its class.

Visited on a Sunday morning. Great drinks, dessert, service, and price for the beautiful atmosphere. Ordered spiked coffees and sat outside since no seating indoors. I think they were having a few weddings that morning so possibly why so crowded. We were able to move indoors shortly after ordering our drinks. Their Irish coffee is very good. Bartender was kind of enough to make a drink for boyfriend never heard of before on request. The waitress was very kind, patient, and attentive. We shared the banana chocolate chip bread pudding which was warm and sweet topped with ice cream. Family came by towards the end of our service but treated equally with great service. Very clean indoors and amazing views of the lake. Although we were not staying at the hotel we felt very welcomed. There are TVs to watch sports, caught part of a football game even though not a big sports fan. Afterwards walked along the beach next to the lake. Valet parking so we could be dropped off and picked up right in front of the building. Will definitely consider staying there next time I'm in Tahoe.

Read the "EXCELLENT" review, there is nothing more I can say. This is my 2nd trip and review here and my opinion is the same as it was on November 17, 2016. Just passing on this hint: They open at 5pm for dinner, be there at 5 on busy nights (Thursday, Friday and Saturday) if you don't want to wait too long, tables are first come, first serve, they only take reservations for large groups, however you can really enjoy the bar / waiting area while you wait. The second hint is that this place is located in an absolutely charming and fun little valley town. Make an afternoon/evening out of it and park and walk around Gardnerville, take in some shops, places of interested, get into the local culture and be a part of Nevada's rich and amazing history. Trust me on this....

we started in the saloon while my friends enjoyed a round of drinks and they sashayed over to the dining room. Rustic interior perfect for the the majestic Sierra Mountian range. The menu items are pricey, but the food was fabulous. Delightful experience after soaking up the hot springs. Highly recommend!

The Lucky Beaver Bar and Burger in South Lake Tahoe does it right. Even before you enter the restaurant you are mesmerized as you look through a large picture window where broiling succulent prime beef patties ringed by flames atop a rotating grill surface are being well-tended by the chef. Pans of bacon, onions, mushrooms bubble atop the grill beckoning you inside the buzzing crowded Lucky Beaver Bar and Burger. The menu is expansive and the drink choices are plentiful. But you know what you want - the signature hamburger with aged cheddar and grilled onions with a side of Parmesan garlic hand cut fries. The service is attentive and the the atmosphere is inviting. If you wish to sample the other offerings on the menu you and your party will be treated to choices ranging from Cobb salads to bone in Tomahawk ribeyes with plenty of fare for all tastes in between. Don’t miss a visit to the Lucky Beaver Bar and Burger when in South Lake Tahoe.

Ordered the corned beef hash and for the first time ever was asked if I would like it crispy! Yeah. It made my plate greasy compared to the other breakfasts on the table, so be advised. The home fries are a lot less greasy than the hash browns.
We loved the artwork and cowboy artifacts. This place specializes in comfort food and plenty of it. I saw the most wonderful chef salad at a neighboring table. Maybe next time?

Went here based on Trip Advisor Reviews with family of 4 (2 adults, two teenagers).
First of all, the view is spectacular. Also, the service was excellent. Very attentive, knowledgeable and really top notch. We were a little surprised at the quality of the meat however, just not quite up to par with other high end steak houses that we have been to. My wife had the Filet Mignon cooked Medium, and I had the Porterhouse cooked Medium Rare. The meat was cooked perfectly, it's just that the steaks themselves were not of the quality that we are used to. It was a little surprising because all of other food was perfect and everything else was also great. It was still a good meal, and maybe we just had bad cuts, but for what we paid we expected a little better.
9. CV Steak House

As usual we vacation at the Carson Valley Inn. This year, July-August we stayed for nine nights. We ate at the CV Steak Restaurant eight nights. Every meal was outstanding, except the chicken marsala which was not good, the manager took the meal off the bill. All other meals were outstanding. One night I had the special which was one lamb chop, small filet and pork tenderloin. Oh my what a great dinner. Of course all meals come with salad, great bread, potato and vegetables. Every other night I had the halibut. I always thought how could I get good halibut in Minden, oh was I wrong. There is a high end fish restaurant near where we live and their halibut could not compare with the CV halibut. The serving was much larger, better tasting and of course less expensive. The restaurant near us charges more just for a piece of halibut that comes with nothing except the plate. My wife had the lamb chops which were outstanding. She had the shrimp cocktail which again was better that the seafood restaurant near us. The dining area is very nice and quiet and you do not smell any smoke from the casino or hear any noise. In the same general area is a small bar which is great because it is non smoking. Of course the bar comes with video poker. The management should be very proud of their restaurant. For food and service it equals any restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona. The manager Jeanine, not sure of spelling, was outstanding and always greeted us with a smile and welcomed us back. If you stay at the Carson Valley Inn this is a must place for dinner.

The Pink House is located in Genoa, the oldest settlement in Nevada. Our house is a historic landmark, built in 1855 and restored in 2015. Much of the house is original and decorated in the Gothic Revival era. We encourage our guests to wander through the rooms, and our staff can answer many questions about the house and its history. We feature cheese and charcuterie, as well as a seasonal menu and gourmet merchandise.
