Cozy restaurant located across the street from Donner Lake, serving delicious breakfast and lunch dishes. The Famous Huevos Rancheros was definitely the star, and the Country Breakfast Skillet was also perfectly seasoned and cooked. There are so many other items that we want to try, so we will definitely be back! Friendly and efficient service. Small parking lot, so it might be hard to find parking during the peak meal hours.

We got four meals between us and each one was absolutely outstanding. It’s the best chicken fried steak I’ve had in my life. The owner and her son and granddaughter were all gems and so fun to chat with. This is a can’t miss stop in Truckee!!

Donna Lake Kitchen is a local cozy breakfast place I stumbled upon while visiting. The place provided a “country home” atmosphere and the waitstaff was perky friendly. The food was extremely tasty and of substantial portions. The coffee ☕️is delicious with free refills! (I’m a fan of that)
What I did not like was my check being place at my table before I got my food and the 4$ fee that is charged to you for use of a credit card.
I think overall it is a lovely place and the outside seating area is illuminated with nature. ️
I recommend a try just bring cash! Happy Eating!

My favorite breakfast place in the area. The servers and hosts are friendly and helpful. We got there at 9:30 and there was already a 20 minute wait. By 10AM the wait was almost an hour. You can ask to sit the bar, if they have space, and you can order drinks while you wait.
The food was tasty and felt homemade. The Cowboy’s Breakfast was delicious! The biscuits were soft and fluffy, the gravy was not to thick and the sausage patty was so flavorful. The Pancake Breakfast (#6) was good, too. Large and fluffy pancakes.

We went on a Tuesday thinking it would be mellow. They were absolutely packed. I think there was two servers and one cook and every table seated and 10 people waiting to be seated. It took a while to seat and to get our food but you could read the room so it didnt bother us. All the staff was smiling friendly and the service was great. They did a great job.

Ten stars! The juevos ranchers half portion with chorizo was probably the best thing I’ve ever eaten in my life. The owner and her son were so friendly. The cook has worked there for 30 years. You cannot pass this place up if you are in the area.

I got the chilaquiles which were amazing. My husband got the cowboy breakfast and the biscuits and gravy were great! Portions are generous. They only have drip coffee and it’s not that great, but it worked. My biggest complaint is that the service sucks. Everyone who helped us looked like they hated being there, and service was SO SLOW. like, I got bored just waiting for someone to come back. Our time here felt like it dragged cus we were ready to go. We had a party of 8, so they already added gratuity to the check but honestly, isn’t gratuity based on the quality of service provided? Seemed presumptuous of them to tip themselves so well when the service was so poor. So yes, great food, but cus of the crap service, I probably wouldn’t come back.

What a great experience. We waited just about an hour to eat here. Friendly staff, excellent food. Will go back next time we’re in the area.

If you’re in Reno, find any reason to visit Donner Lake Kitchen. Place runs like symphony. All smiles, super chill atmosphere and the food is tight. Hungry portions to be sure. Jama, my server, is a local outdoor go to person. Life hack, hit the mountain trail before breakfast. Have fun!
