The location and setting aren’t much, but the food and service have consistently MORE than made up for the (lack of) ambiance! It has been two years since our last visit, and they continue to create wonderful dishes. Plus, they have Pliny on tap!

We ordered ribs dinner and jerk chicken burger. The ribs are 10/10 and jerk chicken is 6/10 because it’s a little over cook and dry. The server is friendly. Good spot for Hawaiian food

Significant vegan options on the menu. I had the tofu chili and my mom had the halibut fish and chips which she really enjoyed.

Loved everything about this place. Felt welcomed from the moment we walked in even though it was nearing closing time. Service was great, and they were great about offering accommodations for dietary needs.
Plenty of vegetarian options and very wholesome vibe. Food was fantastic- perfect to warm you up after a day out on the lake.

Great vibes and great for celiac! Majority of their menu is gluten free and they have a gluten free fryer. We had the Croquettes, Calamari Steak, Ahi Taco plate and fish and chips – all were incredible! Don’t skip the coconut limeade!

Recommended by local artist Owen White @roodpart. Food was excellent, and the music was a good retro sound reminiscent of island life. Service was a bit slow during a not too crowded Friday night. We dove on the Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer, then Freshie’s Island Plate, Spicy Jerk Chicken, Fish Tacos with a side Caesar Salad, and the famous Peanut Butter and Chocolate Mousse silky tofu pie resting on a Medjool date and pecan crust.
Sorry, the Buffalo Cauliflower appetizer photo is after we had already started eating it.

Best meal I had in South Lake Tahoe. I ordered the noodle bowl with halibut. So big, I couldn’t finish it. This is a casual, local joint. Don’t be put off by the lack of atmosphere. Yes, it feels very local but the food was everything. Only 4 stars because the bathroom was far.

SCAM!! Do not order from this place especially with door dash! We have ordered and dined out with 100’s of restaurants, FRESHIES RESTAURANT & BAR HAS BEEN THE WORST FOOD EVER!!!! $48.68 is a robbery for this!,( see pics) It seems like False Advertising and marketing scheme they have going!! In the decades we have traveled not only the USA, but other countries, we have never experienced such a scam regarding the super expensive food. The photos do not represent the actual food delivered. Do your family a great service and save your self from being scammed. The TINY remnant of food that was delivered, didn’t even taste good. HORRIBLE IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH!!!
RUN RUN RUN RUN FROM THIS PLACE!!! Please spread the word!!! Never go here…….

We found this place on Google Maps while in South Lake Tahoe looking for dinner. Key words were “Eateries with Vegetarian Options”. The menu looks pretty interesting and we to stop by on a Saturday evening (8/3/24).
We opted for a table on the upstairs balcony to be outside and to have a view of the Lake. The dining area has umbrellas to provide shade.
Our server was very nice and tended to us without being overbearing. We got our food within 15 minutes upon ordering. I got the Chicken Teriyaki and Vegetable StirFry. It turned out very good and it was super yummy.
Here’s how Freshies Ohana scored:
Atmosphere 5/5. Food 5/5. Service 5/5. Value to Price Ratio 5/5. Overall experience 5/5.
Freshies Ohana was a wonderful place to dine and offered us a fun, outdoor dining experience. Will definitely return next time we’re in town.

Such nice people at this place. Definitely representing Aloha life in the proper manner. Food was fantastic! Coffee was wonderful and unique. It will be a location that I go every time I am in South Lake. It is nice to have great Hawian food with a slightly healthy twist. Those ribs are sooooo good. I would absolutely suggest trying them.
