"I was lucky enough to get dinner here one night while in Tahoe for winter wondergrass. Easily the best burger I’ve ever had! I can only hope for something similar to come to Denver someday. I had full intentions of taking a picture of the bun mi burger before I ate it, but it went down too quickly!"

"Is this place for real?! I mean, when I read that two people have rated this place as the best food in Truckee, I thought, no, you exaggerate! But alas, I tried the Meatless Monday menu for the first time and I was floored. This IS BY FAR the best food in town! Hands down!"

"My go-to for healthy, vegan and super tasty food served by friendly and helpful staff. They have a little outdoor garden area and you can eat your yummy food to the tranquil sound of the river. Easy to walk to from downtown. Worth a special trip."
