Tahoe Joe's

"Although our server was nice, there was clearly a lack of communication and/or staffing during our patio lunch on Sunday 3/3/24. First off, the coffee and baileys my mother ordered took over 20 minutes, arrived cold, and we had to remind our server we were still waiting for it. Despite her telling us earlier on that she didn’t know where the bartender was, she never bothered to make sure the coffee was made. My steak was well done when I had ordered medium, so I sent it back because it was so dry and chewy. They did remake the steak, but it was still overdone yet it was more tender than before and I didn’t want to deal with it anymore at this point. We pay our bill and leave, and see that we were charged for a dinner portion of a shrimp entree despite ordering it off the lunch menu, resulting in an extra $13. Overall I am extremely disappointed with our experience."

"I want to start by saying it's very hard for me to leave a negative review. I understand people have bad days and things just happen. I have been to Tahoe Joes a total of 3 times and the first 2 times were good but the 3rd time was not only bad, but it was the worst dinning experience I've ever had. I went to Tahoe Joes on 2/19/24 around 3:30pm and sat on the patio because I have an 11 month old and a 3 1/2 year old and sometimes they can be a little loud. I first went into the restaurant and asked to sit in the patio area and I was guided to the area. My girlfriend and I sat at a table that was not clean, I used a white cleaning rag that was laying on a table nearby to clean our table. We sat down and waited 10 minutes before someone came out to take our drink order. After we received our drinks we were sitting there for 30 minutes waiting for a menu to be brought to us. Eventually I got up and walked into the bar area and asked for menus and I was instructed to grab them off the racks on the wall. After 20 minutes our waiter came out and apologized and stated "I'm sorry there was an incident with the managers" and proceeded to take our order. As we were ordering he was somewhat zoned out and there was an awkward silence in the middle of our order. We received our food within 20 minutes but had to ask for utensils and napkins. We ordered the meal for 2 and I had asked for my steak to be medium well, and I got well done. That was very disappointing. The meal for 2 comes with a dessert and I didn't realize until I was home that we did not receive that, also very disappointing. Overall i was very disappointed and will not be back, unfortunately. I've already recommended Tahoe Joes to friends but I will not do so anymore. The bathrooms were very dirty and smelled of urine. A few tables on the patio area were filled with dirty plates and glasses the entire time we were there which was 2.5 hours. Very disappointed."

"Prime rib was great! Salad was brought out early enough to finish before main course. Perfect portions. Prices were decent for California. Service was friendly and attentive. Cool atmosphere."

"The pastrami was barely warm as the same with most of the other food The fish taco was fine but that kind of coleslaw is very heavy and the fish was a little oily, but still had decent flavor I guess . Our server, a young man, was, I think a little stretched on tables, because. His attention was pretty skimpy. We always enjoy going there, and we do not usually sit out on the patio and the flies were just awful as with the mosquitoes too. One mediocre visit out of several terrific visits will not keep us from going back."

"The portions here are huge and the food is great. Sat at the bar for quicker service, even though our wait was only 15 mins for a table. I couldn't decide between 2 beers, so the bartender gave me a small taste of each."
