California Burger Company

Another place that I typically wouldn’t bother to mention since it is very obvious and very busy but that whiskey wall deserves a mention - (see photo) - it’s very impressive. The hard-to-find stuff is correspondingly pricey but you can find some reasonably priced ones in there. They have a separate whiskey menu that you can ask for. 

Super popular hangout on the busiest corner in Tahoe. Popular with locals as well as tourists. They have great live music all the time on the corner that sets the tone for the resort town vibe as you enter the Heavenly Village area.  

Burgers are great and they have these sidewinder fries which are basically thick spiced spiral fries. They have this huge trophy for “Best Wings in Tahoe” so I had to try them - I got the medium spicy ones (see photo). I would rate them as very good but not enough to say best I’ve ever had. 

One thing I noticed is that the food gets served super-fast. Very helpful when you are hungry. They should have an Olympics for serving speed as these guys would probably medal.
