- Kelley MoneyJune 16, 2015Donner Lake Kitchen returns to Truckee after being gone for four years! We are so happy and thrilled to be back serving breakfast & lunch all day, every day!
Mihir GandhiJuly 5, 2018Huevos rancheros are solid. Enough for two (just get an extra tortilla). Service is also excellent - your coffee will never be less than half full.
AmateurConciergeAugust 13, 2023Classic diner breakfast, but better and with Mexican items. Rating is inflated, tho def a favorite in the area. Friendly staff, but expect some friction
Jon MayfieldAugust 3, 2019Cowboy Brekkie is a meal and a half! Get it with fried jalapeño and get there early. There was a 45 minute wait at 9:30
Can't go wrong with the various biscuits and gravy combinations, but be sure to check the daily specials, too!- Kat 🐱April 9, 2016Cowboy's special - half biscuit & gravy, two eggs, sausage patty, and hash brown - is huge!
- Nice comfy breakfast/lunch spot. Heuvos rancheros are really good.

"Great breakfast spot. The Huevos and Benedict were solid. Looks like they also do a daily skier breakfast sandwich, too."

"The pastrami omelette is to die for. Breakfast was a bit pricey at $20 per person, but worth every penny."
