Best Bars and Restaurants in South Lake Tahoe | Eater SF

"There’s no missing the Burger Lounge. It’s the roadside stop on Highway 89 with the giant mug of frothy beer and the picture of the burger out front. Burger Lounge is well-known to be one of the best spots in all of Lake Tahoe for huge, juicy burgers. There are 16 to choose from (plus six veggie burger options), but the classic Cheese Deluxe never disappoints. Depending on your hunger level, you can opt for a 1/2 lb. or 1/4 lb. patty. The menu also has chicken sandwiches, hot dogs, and salads. Add a side of cheesy fries and a shake; there are over 40 flavors, including litchi, Nerds (yes, the candy), and cheesecake, but when it comes to eating a burger, sometimes a classic vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry shake is the best pairing." - Julie Brown Davis
