19 reviews for Steamers Beach Side Bar & Oven
Pretty good for a quick bite. The pizza was decent...but the home made chips were YUMMY! Clam chowder was a bit runny, but good in flavor.
The service was good and the staff was super friendly. The view of the lake is also pretty sweet.
Once upon a time, Steamers was the best pizza around Tahoe. Then about 5 years ago they got new owners who could care less about quality and service, and it's obvious in the product they serve. The pizza is bland and boring, the service is dismal and the prices are sky high.
For good pizza drive about 5 miles west to CB's in Carnelian Bay. It may not have the ambiance of Steamers, but at least you get a pizza that actually has some flavor.
after spending 22 hours on the road this summer and then checking in to my motel, i was thirsty and hungry. Next door i found Steamers. After chilling at the bar with a couple of beers i decided to try the Steamers Chips. Simply yummy. I had a couple more beers then got an order of clam chowder on the house (it was a mistake order), also quite tastey! The waitress that i chatted with briefly and the bartenders were very nice and polite. i will definitely be back next summer when i roll through the Lake Tahoe are again.
View is excellent and the food is solid outdoor beach type fare. A fun place to sit outside have a few beers and some pizza at Lake Tahoe.
The food is quite ordinary. Our pizza was really bland. From what I can remember, this is the blandest pizza crust that I have ever tasted. The shrimp are nothing special nor is the salad.
Great Pizza. Right on the Beach at Kings Beach. Had a chicken salad to go with. We requested BBQ chicken on the salad, and it was actually BBQ'd. Yummy. This is place you can wear a swimsuit and sit outside and watch hot bodies play Volleyball and eat a good meal.
Just your basic place to relax and grab a pie in Kings Beach area. Our table ordered four different pizzas and all of them were fine. THe service tends to be a little hit or miss in this place over the years. What can you expect from people in the 20's serving pizzas, its not hte most glamorous job on the lake. All in all the salami, sausage and extra cheese did not last past the next morning. We will be coming back again next year. The bar is a nice place to stop just to run in and grab a quick one on your way home.
What can I say? I'm a total sucker for Mozzerella sticks with some pizza and salad.
I have to give them props too for thier excellent choice of dressings for their salads. Try the honey mustard dressing- not creamy, or too sweet- but, had a nice citris tang instead. Their spinach salad is loaded with real spinach and TONS of real bacon too!
We were 7 of us, non-whites, The waitress took forever to get orders for our drinks. After she served the drinks, she took our appetizer and main course orders. We waited 25 mins.. and asked when we would get the appetizer
She said she'd check and didn't bother coming back to tell us what she found out.
After half an hr had passed, we asked again. She said she would check and came back and said it was on its way.
We asked for a diet coke refill and she didn't seem too happy about that.
Then 40 mins passed and we noticed that others who had come in after us were paying their check at this time. We asked again and she said "on the way"..
Finally, three guys in our group went inside and asked the waitress again. She says "Sorry... I never ordered it"
How could she forget when we asked her three times? And if she had forgotten, why did she lie that it was on it's way? She clearly had not forgotten and obviously did not want to serve us.
The manager was hanging around and when the guys told him what happened, he shrugged and said "It's not my problem". He was clearly supportive of what was done to us.
We paid for our drinks and left.
I guess since they cannot turn people away legally, they did the next best thing - seat us, but not serve us.
If they did not want to serve us, they could have said the kitchen was closed or that the restaurant was full. Why seat us and then humiliate us?
P.S. - I don't know how diverse King's beach is. We didn't see any colored person in the restuarant or in the town... so maybe they aren't used to "aliens from outside"..
After a decade of patronizing Steamers, the place finally let me down on my most recent visit to Kings Beach. Apparently some sort of outreach program for employing rude sorority girl-types has been enacted at the place. Here's what happened...
Steamers was only about half full when my family arrived (some of you may argue that it was half empty :)) We were seated and we ordered quickly. Within about 30 minutes of our arrival, the place filled up. We didn't stress though. We've seen this place teeming with people and it never created any sort of problem. When more than an hour ticked by and no pizzas materialized at our table, we asked our server about the delay.
"Ummm... I don't know, the kitchen is really backed up, we're busy tonight" she told us.
My husband challenged her, "How could that affect us, we ordered before most of the people in this room?"
She quickly popped into the kitchen to get an ETA on our pies.
"I guess we got a bunch of to go orders at the same time," she countered on her return. (I would like to interject here that if this were true, why wouldn't an establishment take care of the customers physically at the restaurant first?) "It should come soon," she said obviously frustrated with us.
Just before she attempted to flee with a flit of her blonde ponytail my
husband fired off one more query, " What about my kids' cheese pizza? Is that ready?" By this time our kids were drapped over the table as small children often are when very hungry.
With a hand on one hip and an eye roll she responded, "I don't know, I didn't even ask about that one!"
It was a conversation going nowhere fast. Since we weren't getting any sort of answer that made sense, we felt it was time to bring a manager into the situation. Our pizzas arrived a short time after we spoke to him. When my husband made a comment like, "It's about time!" our server blurted out, "OH MY GOD!" Unfortunately the patron at the next table thought she was talking to him.
After that she would have nothing more to with us which meant one of us had to go to the bar to get the check. The manager was apologetic and made the server finish up with us. She decided to sew up the experience by telling us, "Sorry for the hassle guys but as you know the service here sucks!" Needless to say, we were stunned!
As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, we are longtime patrons of Steamers pizza. The pizza is terrific! I also recommend the Peppertini --- a martini with a hot pepper in it. The salads are also fabulous. We will return to the place once the bad taste of this visit dims a bit. It's too bad how a single server who doesn't grasp the idea of customer service can taint an experience. We are still fans of Steamers Pizza, just disappointed right now. Let's hope Steamers redeems itself.
Pizza is whatevas.
Fried zucchini is whatevas.
Buffalo wings were whatevas.
View of the lake is dope though. Trust.
A great outdoor restaurant if you're in Kings Beach and/or waiting for or just finished parasailing. A bit pricey but it is in a tourist area. The dining area overlooks the beach and you can see beautiful Lake Tahoe with boaters, kayakers and parasailers having fun. Delicious hot sandwiches, great pizza (says my restaurant mates) and homemade, non-greasy potato chips that were outstanding.
Cheap comfort food, nice people and a view. What else...
Steamers is great in the summer. A pitcher of beer, their garlic bread and eventually a pizza. This place is ideal for a lazy Tahoe summer evening. But then again I have passed some enjoyable time at the bar in the winter. I am not a huge fan of pizza places after skiing, but then I don't like other people's children that much.
I would suggest that if you need apres skiing pizza keep driving and hit MoFo's in Incline Village.
This place has a nice variety of dishes outside of pizza (I can only remember sandwiches, pasta, calzones off the top of my head). The service is quick and the dcor stands out in a nice way (all wood tables, benches, wall panels... I think they were going for a lumberjack theme).
I've ate here at least two times now. I don't believe I'll be going back to this place. After a day of snowboarding, even Pizza Hut pizza tastes like 4 star pizza. Steamer's is three star pizza after snowboarding all day.
There is really not too much to complain about when it comes to Steamers. Their pizza is amazing and the view of the lake is phenomenal. I've never had a bad meal here. The prices may be a touch high for the caliber of food, but I guess the setting is what you are paying for.
I had a calzone, which was nice. Forget the food, though. I can't get over the name. Someone with a bigger set of balls than mine just HAS to go here and vandalize the sign so that it reads "Cleveland Steamers."
I like Steamers, potential name associations aside. I've been coming here for several years now, and they make a pretty tasty pizza. The last time I went with a good friend, ordered a large, and we had absolutely no problem making the entire thing disappear in no time at all. I'll definitely be back.
Decent pizza. I've always eaten here in the summer on the back deck, where you can see some lake past the parking lot. There is also a roof bar that looks nice, but when I was there last week it was closed (lame).
