The staff was lovely even with bar seating only. The food was very tasty but my partner and I had some digestive issues from the beef tallow fries; that dish might be a little too rich if you’re in the habit of eating healthy! Otherwise the cocktails were half sold out, but the ones we had very very nice with smokey mezcal flavors.

We visited the Truckee Tavern and Grill for the first time this past Saturday night and we were thoroughly impressed! We received a warm greeting and were seated by the owner. I loved the decor and ambiance, very cozy and eclectic. We shared the Beet Tartare with house-made chips, my beau had a burger and fries and I had the Oyster Mushroom Shepard’s pie. All were beautifully presented and delicious – the perfect comfort food after a full day of snowboarding. We finished our meal with the Carrot Cake which was *chef’s kiss* delightfully moist and flavorful. We can’t wait to return and try more of the menu!

The fries were really good.
Pork chop was a little dry and the char lines were a little overwhelming. Service was quick once we were seated but it took a while (we were walk in at 5:15pm and didn’t get seated until 6:05pm). Overall enjoyed our experience (2 kids and 2 adults).

We went to celebrate a birthday and it was extremely busy that night, but the staff still went out of their way to make it special. They surprised us with a birthday cake and even a card, which was such a thoughtful touch. It really meant a lot. The service and kindness made the whole experience memorable. Definitely a customer for life!

Stopped in here for a quick bite on Independence Day. The service was great (I sat at the bar) my shrimp cocktail had huge shrimp and my wings were hot and cooked perfectly. They didn’t even need the ranch dip on the side. I’m a snob for Old Fashions and he made it very well.

I want to start by saying this is a wonderful place to have an meaningful meal. Our server, Katie, was not only attentive and personable, but also provided excellent service. The food was great! wasn’t a fan of everything I tried but you can tell alot of thought and effort went into each plate. The beef tallow fries put me in a trance, do your self a favor and order this if you dine here.

Our service was good and the atmosphere is good, very casual. If say the food was a little inconsistent. Vegan asparagus soup was very tasty. The people who got the trout said it was good. Pork chop was also good. The mushroom shepherds pie was so promising but so very bland. It was disappointing. If give the overall good rating 3.5

Found multiple hairs in two dishes and the Mac n cheese had little to no flavor, fries were okay, mashed potatoes were oily and salty, water had lots of microplastics floating around. Service was great we loved our server, we didn’t really feel the atmosphere.

Amazing service. We unfortunately arrived quite late and kept the staff overtime, however, the service was still phenomenal. We felt quite welcomed and respected by the staff there for a birthday. They treated us well, our food and drinks were out quick, and the pudding was amazing. Couldn’t recommend it more. Quite lovely! Thank you

My husband and I went for dinner and were so surprised at the quality of the drinks and food. Each item we had was delicious. We had the soup ( cream cauliflower) , and the basic salad . It was full of veggies and slivered almonds as well as pickled jicama. I had the 10 ounce filet which was seasoned beautifully and done just right over a bed of spinach and potatoes. It was surrounded by a fabulous sauce of mushrooms. My husband had the pork paparadelle that had spinach noodles, onions, and tomatoes in the sauce. It was so savory. To top it off, we shared a delicious carrot cake that was just the right sweetness. I forgot to mention the martini was perfect and the nonalcoholic drink that was made for me was the best I’ve ever had!! It was a fantastic meal!
