We're becoming creatures of habit in Reno, revisiting our favorites, establishing a lunch tradition. Tahoe isn't a habit just yet, but the drive is so beautiful, we used Gar Woods as an excuse on a fine fall day.
The sapphire waters gleam in the midday sun, and Gar Woods has a wall of tables both inside and out that overlook a peaceful pier that makes ripples along a tranquil shore. Nibble on some Housemade Salt & Vinegar Potato Chips as you dive into their all-American lunch menu and soak up the afternoon sun. These potato chips are ample and thick, warm vinegar cutting through the salt and creamy dip.
Plenty of sandwiches like the Hawaiian Chicken to hit the spot if you're craving. The chicken is tender and not at all dry, and the pineapple and BBQ sauce add some fruitier notes.
The Chicken & Waffles is where they get a little creative, and I love every bite. The chicken is crisply fried, and the fluffy waffles are stuffed with strips of bacon to add a little extra. The syrup is chipotle-blueberry so you get the gooey summer fruit with a spice that gives it a bite. This syrup is like crack on a plate of meat and carbs.
I haven't been anywhere else in Tahoe, but I don't need to compare to know that Gar Woods has a good thing going. Whether it's a day-trip, a break from camping, or just a sweet family meal, Gar Woods is game.
