About Tahoe Joe's - steak house in Fresno, California

Lodge-themed chophouse serving a menu of wood-grilled steaks, seafood & cocktails.

Customer Review Summary

The last Tahoe Joe's in Fresno offers great steaks and fresh salads. The warm sourdough bread has excellent flavor, but the crab cakes lack seasoning. While the food is fantastic, the restaurant is old and in need of remodeling, and service can be slow. Many customers appreciate the friendly atmosphere and awesome food for family and friends. Some diners experienced poor service, with issues like dry prime rib and overpoweringly grilled hamburgers. Multiple guests mentioned dirty silverware and coffee cups, leading to dissatisfaction with the service. Despite mixed experiences, several patrons noted delicious food and good servers, specifically praising a manager and server by name. Overall, the food is well-cooked with standout items like ribs and cheesecake, but some aspects fell short of expectations, such as the seasonal beer list and timely service. The restaurant is popular locally, with some customers enjoying hearty, familiar flavors on repeat visits.

This is the last Tahoe Joe's in Fresno. They have great steaks and the salads are fresh. The sourdough bread is warm and great flavor. The crab cakes don't have much flavor but packed with crab.

Had reservations. Thankfully. There was 1 host and tons of people. I ordered prime rib medium well with pink and there was no pink. It was dry. My girls had hamburgers and they had such a overpowering taste of grill they couldn't eat it. Our waiter was good. On top of refills.

So a waiter named Alex chose to be disrespectful and not serve my table as reasonable as he could be not much of a rush and was more occupied with pumping his chest up and out rather than taking down an order and keeping the coffee coming. He had an issue with a coffee cup was dirty and we asked for replacement. Two coffee cups dirty the manager stepped in but did not apologize for the complications simply took over. Silverware was dirty and had to wipe down our table. I understand people have bad days however I do not think you should be disrespectful to customers let alone lack at the high standard of your job. I spent years working in food and beverage I waited tables I bused tables I washed dishes. I know how the machines work how to fix them quickly and such. Can even tell when the soda machines need to be cleaned by the way the carbonation in the drinks are. So perhaps it is just my knowledge that makes me a bit biased and unfair with understanding the piss poor service. Food came out with no mistakes though the lettuce in the salads do have a freezer burn so might want to check the freezers to see if they are working properly. I honestly don't see a reason to come back here.

The food was delicious and the staff was awesome! Thanks to the manager Cole and our server Meagan (I believe that was her name) I have been to Tahoe Joes several times and it never fails to please. This was my boyfriend's first time, and he said we are definitely coming back. And by the way,best cheesecake ever! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🥰

Nothing super spectacular here. The food was well cooked, the cabin fries were above average and the ribs were wonderfully tender and fall off the bone. The seasonal rotating beer list doesn't actually exist. The country apple pie was similar to what you'd find at Wal-Mart with a little better crust. I did enjoy the sourdough rolls, they just didn't arrive very quickly and were not refilled. The bar was full when I arrived and happy hour is not available in the dining room. This seems to be a popular local spot that I'm glad I tried,it just didn't exceed expectations.

Been here a few times and usually never busy and seated right away. Last visit we came for dinner and ordered a meal for two and had great steak and baked potatoes. Everything had nice hearty familiar flavors. There is an added charge for asparagus. Overall a good meal.
