We waited more than 40 min for the food and the meat wasn’t made well. Good things: we loved the fries!!!!!! and the salad was awesome as well. I like the beer (hazy ipa)

Upon stumbling upon the Donner pub in Truckee, our weary party of six found solace in its welcoming doors. Quickly seated amidst the charming ambiance of what appeared to be a newly renovated establishment, our hopes were high for a much-needed respite from our arduous journey.
The menu boasted a diverse selection of food and drinks, sparking excitement among our famished group. However, our enthusiasm quickly waned as the dishes arrived, revealing the true nature of our predicament.
The fish, was less than fresh… A brave soul amongst us dared to sample a single bite, only to be met with unpleasant experience, that it remained untouched thereafter.
The chicken, served in hues of gray and pink, bore an uncanny resemblance to the unfortunate souls lost along our tumultuous path. It was a haunting reminder of our mortality, served upon our plates.
As for the Caesar salad, its “homemade dressing” boasted the inclusion of whole grain mustard, a curious addition indeed. A departure from traditional Caesar flavor if that is something you expect when taking your first bite.
The brisket sandwich, intended to offer succor to our weary bodies, proved to be dry and tough, more suitable for travelling through the pass on a snowy day.
Yet amidst our culinary tribulations, there was a glimmer of hope in the form of the French fries. Curled chips of potato, they were a delightful surprise, offering a brief respite from our disappointment.
In a commendable display of hospitality, the staff noticed our uneaten fish and promptly removed it from our bill, a gesture that did not go unnoticed by our grateful party. Despite our culinary misfortunes, we departed the Donner pub with gratitude for the kindness of its staff amidst our trials.

Food was good, large portions, good beers and drink selection. Very small interior and on a Sunday afternoon right after fresh snow they were packed! Definitely recommend the pretzel bites. They are unique but delish!

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with amazing food and drinks in Truckee, The Pub at Donner Lake is it! We stopped by after a day of exploring, and honestly, it was exactly what we needed—a chill vibe, friendly service, and some seriously tasty food.
The whole place has a warm, laid-back vibe, and you can’t beat the location right by Donner Lake. If you time it right, you can catch an epic sunset while you’re there—total bonus.
Tips for anyone heading there:
Definitely try one of their seasonal specials—they’re all about using local ingredients.
Grab a seat outside if the weather’s nice. The lake view makes everything better.
Go hungry because the portions are generous, and you’ll want to try a little of everything.

Pricy sandwich but ill have to say the brisket was good. The only issue after hunger. There wasn’t enough meat to feed a 5lb dog. After spending 120 bucks we had to go eat somewhere else. Stop being so stingy with your portions. No wonder business is off

The food was adequate, filled the hole and was fresh. It was not anything craveable and could use more flavor. The staff were pretty nice, though seemed stressed and already thin.

The staff was nice but not well organized.
The burgers, fish and chips, wings and fries are ok if you’re not demanding. However this is expensive for that level of quality. You will find better food nearby, for less $$.
If you’re ok with the price check the bathrooms. That day one bathroom was unsanitary and should have been closed.

Went to donner lake and this is the restaurant i found on google where there is a view of the lake, its across the road to the lake.
Its a small pub, the staff are welcoming, very warm amd hospitable. Love their service. Food was amazing too. They had games to pass the time we played dominoes, tv for watching sports.
Their prices are reasonable, and food tasted great. I would definitely recommend this place whenever you’re in donner lake.

The servers weren’t very friendly. I had one beer and one order of fries, and a lady came over to give me my receipt before I was ready to check out. Geez, what’s the rush to get me out? This is why California is all about hurrying people along. I wish people could just slow down. This’s why I stop going to chains restaurants or anywhere like this. I weren’t recommended coming here. The food isn’t good and expensive.

Take out this time.
Mac n Cheese = $18 + tax + tip!
I even wondered if it was really an entree’s Mac n cheese (not a side), Because the salad I ordered as a side for burger came in that size. But they said it was correct size. (Then the side mac n cheese would be very small )
I ordered Clam chowder but it came in much bigger cup for $20…
I also ordered beer battered prawn which was same price ($18) and it was tasty especially with sauce.
Burger and lug nuts were salty.
Their pricing and portion are really interesting.
