Summit Smokehouse

Best BBQ you could eat in Tahoe. The chili is amazing during a day of skiing.

oh what a nice place to eat right next to lifts ski in ski out. bathrooms only steps away from lift and no climing up to get there. :)

Nothing like a hearty bowl of chilli after skiing...BBQ platter is best deal for resort prices... You get a lot of BBQ and waffle fries on the side for about 25 bux... Enough for 2 to 3 people...

Best place ever to have chili to recharge after an epic powder day or to await the opening of the backside runs!

Super legit view good eats....

Really legit BBQ. Excellent deal with Epic pass.

After I wrote to management, they added several vegetarian and vegan options. I'm not sure if I was the impetus or not (nor does it matter), but I'm so happy to have a tasty and quick dining option at the top of Mount Pluto! TIP: I recommend the $5 tater tots as a side dish, something that is so new that it's not on the menu boards. I also recommend Zephyr Lodge and Big Springs Lodge (at mid-mountain) for varied vegetarian and vegan dining options. If you are in the village, Los Arcos is great for a reasonably-priced burrito.

A nice little barbeque spot in the top of the mountain. I'd recommend splitting one of the platters that comes with three meats and two sides.

Good drinks, decent selection of beer, food is not as good as it use to be, expensive but that's mountain rates. I'd still go here over most of the bar & grills on the mountain.

Service was a little slow, but who cares when the foods that good!

Good view, decent BBQ, high prices. Expect to share a table unless you want to eat outside.

Sunny, great views, great rest location. Food is decent. Coffee is good.

They have decent coffee (espresso, cappuccino, etc). Wish I'd known I could have saved a trip all the way to the Ritz! Also a bar with hot liquor drinks! Haven't tried the food. Prices comparable with other mountain lodges (ie. Ridiculous as expected). Atmosphere is nice. Four stars is for serving decent coffee!

Food is quite good but a little pricey. Keep in mind that sharing is always an option so you can get back out on the slopes easier 😉 Service is always friendly and please ask them to bring back the Bacon Candy!!

Sitting at the top of the mountain, this is a convenient lodge to stop at. You can then hit any of the runs except Lookout starting from here. Decent size restrooms. The venue has shrunk this year (24-25 season) due to the “temporary” additional covered seating area collapsing under snow last season. Even midweek seating indoors was tight. We just got some drinks from the bar. The food at Zephyr lodge seemed more appealing.

Nice little place that sees a lot of traffic. I really wish it would be open for at least till 3.30 or 4pm.

Nice place to hang and have a beer. Inside is usually crowded, but outside seating is plentiful.

Great food and cocktails at your normal inflated resort prices. Seating can be difficult if the outdoor deck isn't open or if the weather doesn't permit seating. The views are spectacular and quite often in the spring they will some kind of live entertainment. At this very moment it's a great snowcave to go get whatever you're craving. Feb19/19

They offer a choice of meats in combination with either sandwich, tater tots or mac&cheese. Make sure you get the sandwich option. Because when you order sandwich it also comes with potato chips. The other two options don’t.

Nice place for a quick bite, they do have a pretty good barbecue sandwich. However the seating is pretty limited. So you need to get there early or have a late lunch. Because it is so small it's not really a place to relax after lunch I'd recommend their other lodge. However they do have a little bar on the side where you could order beer, drinks etc.

Good place for a quick bite and a drink. It's a ski resort so prices are good and steep

Food was decent, very good for it being on the mountain. There just isn't enough seating. Or bar space, people wouldn't mind standing and eating, just need somewhere to set your food so you can eat quickly and get back to the slopes!!!!

Great place to get some food and a drink without leaving the mountain(options for food are limited depending on day) Bathrooms are open and mask are heavily required( and please wear real mask not those thing layer snowboarding mask). You can take your mask off to eat but put them back on if not eating. Drink only aloud in certain areas, ski patrol will pull passes if they think your being reckless with drinks or smoking.

Quonset-hut style lodge up at the top of the Comstock Express lift. Food is pricey and pretty basic (sandwiches, BBQ, salads), beer is a decent deal. The main lodge itself is a bit small, but there's lots of extra seating in the patio area, as well as the enclosed tent behind the main lodge.

This place offers barbeque meats like brisket, pulled pork, chicken and sausages. They also have a vegetarian options and a full bar. Food is decent but expect to pay high prices given the location.

The food here isn't very filling and pretty bland. And of course, it's expensive because it's at a ski resort. I would suggest any of the other lodges over this one

Doing the best they can. Outdoor seating only, which means you need to eat fast if your want your hot food to be hot.

The food selection here is not very good and it’s super expensive. I prefer zephyr lodge over this one. If you bring your lunch it’s a good place to stop. Tried the tri tip and it was like $20 and the meat was super tough. The sides were good though. Big portion so we split it between two people.

Overall it's a bit too small for crowd size in Northstar. One has to wait for about 20min to find a table. Food quality is okish but not that pricy considering it's a resort in the bay area

Delicious BBQ at the top of the mountain. Even more expensive than you'd expect, though. Beware: they have raised all of their prices, but as of Dec 15 2019, have not updated the menu. When I noticed I was charged more, the manager just said, "oh yeah, we haven't update the signs," and seemed surprised when I expected them to honor the advertised price. Mac n cheese was great. I recommend the large platter to share with a friend. They also offer beer and wine.

Food was very tasty but was cold. Very expensive even with a 20% discount for Epic pass holders

Wanted to get some food 10 minutes before close, but the staff was very rude. Told me they had already closed the line after I had been waiting in it.

4 star food and service. -1 star for ONLY country music blasted constantly..

Overpriced. Had Turkey Bacon & Avacado sandwich. Turkey was OK. Bacon (1,5 slices) was left over from breakfast and Avacado was about 1 teaspoon of mush. Came with Coleslaw(about 2 small forks full) and Potato chips from a bag someone ran over with the delivery truck! All for $16.00. The bun was probably the best part.

Lady in the front would not change a cold drinking cup into a hot drinking cup even though I have paid. This is a request every restaurant would be glad to do. Stingy and rude

Very pricy, greasy food. Poor choice of menu. Place is cold, doors open, so no way to warm up. For pulled pork greasy sandwich and glass of bear paid $27.00 **** Friendly staff.

Can somebody clean the hot water tank, the hot water is gross leaves a sticky feel on the roof of my mouth…

Seriously Vail… $20 for a stale bun with cold pulled pork…

When I asked if the sandwich ($24) came with fries the cashier said it had tater tots, so I ordered it, only come home to find out a $30 bill - only explanation is the tater tot is extra. Insincere service and a price trap, doom yourself Epic👎

They will sell you food but offer no place to sit and even chase you away from your table (while you're still eating) if they feel like folding them.
