The outdoor dining is simply sunning. the view of the lake and area is so gorgeous. The drinks here are phenomenal but the one you must try is the famous wet woody. these are like slurpees on crack!
Quite popular but worth the wait. Great views of the water. Prime rib dip is stellar. Pair any food with the original woody drink or the pear and you can't go wrong.
Best Mother's Day Brunch ~ ever. View , Eggs Benedict - light sauce, crab legs , prawn cocktails - great cocktail sauce and also drawn butter . French toast , great presentation.
Spend the evening having cocktails by the fireplace with live music on Friday and Saturday. Plus it's North Shore Nights every Friday with raffles and prides from 6:30-9:30
Great views of the lake while eating amazing dishes served by their chef . Second floor for a more quiet experience
Wholly average “bar & grill” food that’s expensive for the quality….ur really here for the view , so if ur not on the patio , or better get one of few tables on the water, come back later.
Brilliant French onion soup , the drinks are brilliant. I especially like the Prickly Pear drink at Riva, Caliente, and Garwoods.
Wet Woodys are $15 a piece but well worth it! It's crowded at times but we love coming here. Great food and drinks!
B+. Menu is bit all over the place but food was good (had the special snapper fish ) and the atmosphere was good (higher end lake restaurant ). Prices should be a bit lower as food was decently fresh.
Beautiful view of Lake Tahoe . French onion soup was a bit salty, but the snicker cheesecake was good.
Prime Rib French Dip is delicious! Also a great place to see the sunset .
Nice view ! Beautiful sunset
Wonderful view . Great food. Awesome drinks!
Take a stroll down Garwood's Pier and watch the sun set over the West Shore of Lake Tahoe .
Half priced wet woody Wednesdays ! Great outdoor seating on a beautiful summer afternoon.
Definitely order a smoothie ... I got the mango , it was spectacular. Also, good pizza .
Nice restaurant , with good, friendly service . Food is above average and nothing typical. Quite pricey and not exactly family friendly for small children.
Dark chocolate croissant bread pudding is to die for! And I don't usually like bread pudding
Definitely recommend the Raspberry Wet Woody and the BBQ Chicken Quesadilla .
Have the "Sailor Jerry's Wet Dream" version of the Wet Woody - with fresh cream it's reminiscent of an orange dreamsicle
Sit on the bar side, inside or outside where it's no reservation and probably no wait.
Great food and a great view of the lake ! This place gets crowded quickly in the afternoon though.
Come for the view & roasted chicken . Expensive for what it is, but food is good.
Black Strap-on Top sitting by the window is the perfect way to start the day!
Veggie Burger (off menu ) is the BEST I've ever had... & I've been a vegetarian for 18+ years!!
If you order fish tacos , ask for the mango marmalade from the prawns appetizer
You can't go wrong with the Dungeness Crab sandwich . Also try the John Daly, it's like a hard Arnold Palmer
Dining in Tahoe is like going back in time. Gar Woods is very 1983.
Wet Woodies! 'nuff said!
Great views and good food ☓
Nice cocktails ????
They have Cockspur rum - hard to find outside of Barbados
Wet Woody's are God's gift to us...AMAZING! Be careful they are fun but dangerous.
Suggestive menus are fun
The BBQ Chicken Quesadilla was awesome! I ordered it with no corn .
Beautiful lake view . The Woody's will get you drunk!
Wet Woody.. fish tacos .
Lobster bisque or fish tacos yum♡
Hell of a scene. More Trumpiness than you normally get in CA.
Make a reservation for dinner or good luck trying to find a seat on the deck or in bar area.
Prices are high, but the view !!
The Crab Stuffed Chili Relleno was amazing!!!:)
Awesome views
Overpriced, but good location and Wet Woody is novel
Halibut , filet mignon
the COVID situation here is a complete shit-show. No social distancing, no masks, I don't even think anyone cares.
4:30-6:30 happy hour (Nov-April) $3.75 well drinks and 16oz draft beers , $4.75 house wines and Wet Woody's.
wet woody a must !!
Wet Woody Wednesday !
