Typically, the Fast Food and Chains we include are ones where you are waited on, and you'll see that most of these Tahoe restaurants fit that description. Most people just assume the national McDs and Kings are going to be found in most destinations, so we don't include those.

4100 Lake Tahoe Boulevard, South Lake Tahoe, CA
One of the first of the fun and different restaurants to come to South Lake Tahoe with the redevelopment projects near the state line was FiRE + iCE Interactive Bar + Grill. The concept is that you choose your own components and sauces and the chef grills it all up right in front of you. It works very well with the Heavenly Village setting of whole-timber construction and patio fire pits. You can choose your ingredients along one of their four themes of Latin, American, Asian or Italian or create your very own blend. And the build-your-own model lets you control the meal, which is perfect for vegetarian diners. Be sure not to miss their grill lunch or dinner, both offered at one All You Can Eat price.

Beach Hut Deli is a franchise shop, but it has a local, Tahoe vibe about it.

Pretty close to the Y is a friendly Mexican food cafe, festooned in a fast-food color scheme, but with a much more personable atmosphere. Brothers Burrito House is a great place for all-day breakfast burritos that are substantial but not too expensive. The salsa bar with chips is another big draw for this little spot, and the dining areas, both inside and outside, are clean...read more

The Ski Run Center has a great little pizza shop in Goodfella’s Pizza. Because of its location, the architecture is more like a woodsy mountain lodge than a pie parlor, but the pizzas are hand-tossed, and everything is fresh every day from the dough to the sauce to the toppings. And Goodfella’s has more than just pizza. There are also hot wings and salads, plus...read more
