My absolute fave cheap eats of all the Tahoe resorts.
I actually plan Sierra trips just so I can eat the yummy succulent BBQ chicken drumstick plate which is my standard order here.
The sides are all pretty good and don't taste terribly mass produced like a lot of ski resorts' food often do. I've ordered the mac n cheese, baked beans, fried green beans, onion petals, and mashed potatoes and would easily order them all again, but maybe not at once haha.
The tri tip and brisket are pretty delish too (a little more expensive) but three (LARGE) chicken drumsticks, cornbread and two side for $10.95 and an extra side usually satiated both me and the walking garbage can (the boyfriend). Any more food and we would food coma our way down the slopes. AND TRUST, I don't need any help falling.
You can't beat a $15 lunch for two at any ski resort and to have it surprisingly delicious is a great bonus!!!!! -

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. =( -

Regardless of which ski place you're at the amenities will be on the expensive side due to convenience.
I like smokehouse bbq better because the parents that saves tables for their kids coming from ski school usually don't end up hogging everything up here.
Tips: Line is long for the sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs. The salad and soup line is significantly shorter!
I found a liking to the Backside Salad - grilled/smoked beef or pork(?) with lettuce leaves, onions, tomatoes, and some cheese. It's my favorite thing to get right now and you know you won't be constipated after the trip! (Eat your veggies!) -

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! -

So many food options I don't know where to start, be sure you come hungry!
First you have to go toward the bar area and check out the amazing view of Lake Tahoe! especially beautiful on a blue bird day!
Then head over to the BBQ area, try to stay away during peak times or have someone grab a table while one person gets the food,
Options:
(main items)
BBQ chicken
Tri tip
Brisket
BBQ burgers
Chili
Soup of the day
+ more and daily specials
tri tip salad
Sides:
Mac and cheese
cornbread
mashed potatoes
sweet potatoes fries
coleslaw
fried green beans
(cant remember the rest)
This is only the food I can remember
If you just want sides or salads you can skip over he long line to the express
I recommend the cornbread, mac and cheese and tri tip! yum yum!
Next go try to board/ski while your in food coma!Goodluck! -

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! -

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 -

After waiting about 45 minutes in the lift line to get to the 360 Smokehouse BBQ, we were ready to eat! I ordered the pulled pork, which I found to be a tad bit on the salty side. They let you order two sides, so i tried the mac and cheese which was okay, and onion petals, which i didn't care so much for the batter. The cornbread was a little on the dry side. However, they had EXCELLENT potato skins!!! Prices are reasonable. Seating is a bit on the tight side.

wah. wah. waaaaaaaaah (that sad little brass instrument noise indication of total "meh"ness!)
My feelings on this place? On their food? TOTAL MEHVILLE!! Try getting there between 11-1 and you'll have nowhere to park your tired @$$, espcially when you're in a big group. I feel like a little table vulture, just having to stand there and wait to swoop in and put the mess of my equipment on the table to eat.
The food down at the base in the Pub? DELISH. This place? OMG no matter what I order I always feel like when I hit the slopes again I have a giant rock of food in my stomach. And usually, because this place is by no means AFFORDABLE for those of us who don't work for a Fortune 500 company or the State of California, $4 for a side is all I can afford. Usually I grab the Mac N Cheese, but its like someone smeared custard-thick velveeta on elbow macaroni. The coleslaw, is surprisingly disgusting, and the only thing I really like is their BBQ beans (which are most likely just Bush Beans with a $3 markup.)
The view is incredible, when I have sampled from my friends the food is descent for the main dishes... but you would expect a little more quality for the price. That's my biggest complaint. Most people say the richness and the quality of the food is really really a major rip off for the price. I feel like I just bent over and took it. Major moneyrape, batman!!
Food quality aside, the staff is nice as hell and they always remember you. I see the same faces there week in and week out, Sierra always has great fun and friendly staff (with the exception of the way too stressed out/probably hungover lift line organizers).
The decor inside is great, they also offer complimentary slippers (if you really want to spend the time de-gearing, and god knows I dont, especially if the weather is great!) It's convienient because it's at the top of Grandview, but the only other thing that sucks is that people who have the $35 learn to ride lesson & limited lift ticket are only able to ride up Easy Rider Express, so they can't go up there to eat unless they pay the full day lift ticket :( That kinda sucks. A subtle layoutfail mayhaps? -

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.
