Lucky Beaver, Bar & Burger

"I was greeted at the door and got seated immediately on a weekday even when the place was quite crowded. I ordered the signature bronze dry aged burger, and the patty was cooked right, but the overall flavor was lacking. The bun was a bit hard, the egg was well done, and the cheese didn't have much flavor. The fries were hard and lukewarm, so they weren't enjoyable. The beaver sauce wings were described as teriyaki sauce with some spiciness, but they were more sweet than spicy. The wings were crispy on the outside but not very juicy inside. The chili was average, but enough to satisfy the cravings. I haven't tried other burger restaurants in Tahoe, so I have nothing to compare it to. Their burgers are supposed to be award-winning, which heightened my expectations, and I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the food. Overall, the service was great, and this is the only option that opens late and within walking distance for the hotels nearby. I would say this is very reasonable quality within the area, but don't expect great burgers if you're more picky."

"We spent a weekend in Tahoe with reservations at the top rated restaurants. Lucky beaver was the spot we went to on a whim and we loved it so much we went twice in one weekend! The bloody Mary is so good and the breakfast sandwiches OMG. I cannot wait to go back to tahoe and visit the beaver again. The staff is amazing, the waitresses are so warm and make you feel like family. The music was great too."

"Walked by and noticed burgers on the rotating grill, so we gave it a try. Wish we had tried on previous trips. The restaurant seemed like something from the past. There was a mix of locals and skiers. The burgers, garlic fries and cajun tots recommended by the server were all excellent."

"We had to queue outside to wait for a table for 30 minutes but it wasn't cold and we were able to order a drink whilst waiting if we wanted. Summer was our waitress and she was really helpful and friendly. We each ordered a salad and they were very tasty and big portions but we did have about a 60 minute wait for them which we felt was too long. The atmosphere inside was great and it is clearly a very popular place."

"The Dry-Aged Specialty Burgers keep me coming back whenever I’m staying in the area. They are sooo good. The Gold and Platinum are my favorites. The Cajun Tots and Garlic Fries are a good complement to the burger. The chili is really tasty w/ an extra kick if you like spice. This place is clearly a locals’ joint, and it’s comfortable for travelers as well because the staff is really easy going and friendly. Generally good vibes here"
