American food is often thought of as meat and potatoes fare. These are places where there will be plenty of choices for every member of your party, both kid and adult. And at American & Family-Friendly Tahoe restaurants, if your 3 year old says a few loud words, no one is likely to give you the side-eye.

The name is a bit misleading at Bally's Cafe. This is not the in-house diner for the resort but instead serves more as a coffee shop for quick drinks, pastries and pre-made sandwiches to go. The cafe is open all day, every day, but if you're looking to grab a morning coffee to go, you'll want to stop by early to beat the rush. It...read more

With its spot on the main corner of downtown Truckee, Bar of America’s location alone draws people through its doors. After 40 years in business, however, there is more to the place locals call “B of A” than where it stands (and, yes, B of A was once a Bank of America). Sure, the historic red brick building and large windows are authentically inviting, but...read more
