5 reviews for 360 Smokehouse BBQ
I could've had the BBQ, but didn't. No doubt that it would've been spectacular, but I had beer. At over 8000 feet and after a few great runs on heavenly soft powder, I was buzzed after a few gulps of my one and only pint. The buzz effect, although a bonus, is not the reason why I dig this place. Did I mention it was pretty high off in elevation? The view is amazing!
The bartender (we were seated at the bar) was also quick on his feet when it came to taking our order. And the sweet potato fries were delightfully tasty. Finally, though I only had beer, I did notice that it was a full bar. Very convenient....
FYI: this past weekend's condition was over-the-top-amazing...it was the best I've experienced at this mountain, but I made sure the review did not account for the snow
This place is at the top of Sierra at Tahoe, which is good and bad. If the weather is good, the view from the top of the smokehouse of Lake Tahoe is absolutely stunning, but then there's a massive crowd. If the weather is bad, there's likely to be less people, but then it's just like eating food at the base lodge since there's no nice view.
Tony and Michael did a thorough review of the BBQ here, so I won't recap. Instead, tips!!!!!!
1. The bathrooms smell fishy. Hold your nose when going in.
2. If there's space, you can get your shoes or gloves warmed while eating. When you enter, turn right and there should be an attendant there.
3. The lines are often long for entrees, but if you just want a side, you can bypass all of that by just going to the left entrance and walking straight ahead. Sides are cheaper (around $2.95) and you can get a larger portion than a side you'd get with an entree. My favorites include sweet potato fries, mac 'n cheese, and onion petals. You can also get a fresh salad here.
4. If the sides line is busy, the left-most side of the food area has two types of soup - typically chili and broccoli. It's around $6 for a bowl, which is more than enough to warm you up.
There's also a full bar where you can grab a beer or cocktail to enjoy. This is especially nice during the summer when the view from the top is gorgeous and it's not freezing. But, if you've come here to snowboard like myself, it's often a quick in and out to eat and hit the slopes. The really nice staff will often walk around and take your tray away for you. Sweet!
They had me at IPA on draft - the sides (sweet potato fries and onion petals) sealed the deal. Cool bar, especially for being at the top of a mountain.
360 Smokehouse BBQ is absolutely awesome. Talk about an unexpected surprise! The menu @ 360 Smokehouse BBQ is straight on BBQ. All the favorites: ribs, BBQ chicken, BBQ burgers, brisket and awesome sides that include sweet potato fries!
I did have the 360 platter with ribs and brisket along with mac 'n cheese and baked beans as sides. Great food. The ribs were perfectly cooked, had a great smokey flavor and kept my attention until I was lickin' bones. =)
The brisket was also very good, a bit fatty in a few places that did make me stop and pull the fatty bits out. Mac 'n cheese was great. full flavor, none of that artificial nasty cheesy taste you can sometimes get. The baked beans were pretty good too, a little sweeter than the way I like 'em, but still very tasty.
They did have 3 different types of BBQ sauce at each of the tables. The smokey BBQ sauce was exactly that, a very smokey flavor with a very distinct tang. The spicy sauce flavor was *very* spicy. Not sure about the rest of y'all, but that was amazingly spicy; just enough to make you clear your throat a bit because you weren't expecting it to be that spicy, but you continue to eat it. The sweet sauce was probably my least favorite. It was way too sweet. It felt like I was shaking brown sugar all over my BBQ food. Too much sweetness in that one to even be enjoyable. I found myself choking a bit on its sweetness.
This place is really a great BBQ joint. Too bad it's on the top of a mountain and not 'round the corner from my house. =(
I have often bemoaned the lack of good barbecue food in California so who knew that I'd find it 8500 feet above sea level at the top of a mountain in beautiful Lake Tahoe. I was as impressed with the BBQ here as I was disappointed in the snowboarding which makes me sad for I doubt if I'll be back to savour the delicious ribs, brisket and sides.
I shared a platter of mouthwatering tender baby back ribs and brisket with my better half and oh boy did it hit the spot. I picked up the rib rack and the bone just came out in my hand, leaving me with the pleasantly sticky experience of slathering the meat with the excellent Cattlemen's sauces and stuffing the sticky meaty mess down my gullet.
Side orders come in various guises and I selected mac n cheese & beans, both were perfect bbq accompaniments. The cornbread, oh the cornbread was slightly sweet, light and fluffy and we were lucky to secure a corner piece with a lovely thick crust that just made me smile.
The brisket was a little fatty and the queues were out of hand meaning service was a little poor. Combine this with a Nutty Russian (vodka, kahlua, amaretto and milk for inquiring minds) and you have the perfect way to fuel you for some speed runs down the mountain.
So in short, don't expect great snow from Sierra-at-Tahoe, but you can be sure of exemplary barbecue!
