Shaver Lake Pub N Grub

It's unfortunate when a poorly run kitchen can really degrade the experience of a good ski town bar/grill. I'd like to preface that the only reason this review is not a 2 or lower is the good service of the bartender Michael who managed the bar and half the tables.However, you can't ignore the poorly run kitchen. We had ordered 1 sandwich, 1 appetizer, and 1 Mac N Cheese for two for a light dinner after skiing prior to the dinner rush. Due to 1 take-out order likely just prior to out arrival, our order took about 1hr and 10-15mins to get to the table. While the pastrami sandwich tasted great as did the steak bites, the Mac n cheese was likely Kraft from a box with Parmesan cheese added and the garlic bread and onion rings were cold.For these reasons, I would be hesitant to return, especially with the price of going out these days.

Loved the atmosphere of this place! It’s cozier than I expected and the bartender and waitresses were very personable. The food was delicious but the French dip au jus was pretty salty. We ordered one of the specialty Mules and requested Makers Mark but they were out of it. This place has high top tables and regular tables but no booths. There were couples and families there and I’d say it’s a great atmosphere for both even on a busy Friday night. There is also a jukebox (or whatever the fancy newer digital things are called) and music playing all the time. Overall great vibe and delicious food. Good people. We will visit again!

We used to go here back when it was the Whatoke Grill and I was a little girl playing the arcade games while my parents would hang out and maybe have a few beers. They even knew the owners since we grew up going there and my grandpa had a cabin up there. I’m now 27, and we went there last weekend to pick up some sides for our dinner as we took a weekend off to stay up in Shaver. I was so disappointed by the service, the person who helped me seemed like they did not want to be there. This is the second time this has happened to us. It was awkward and uncomfortable and I hope it has nothing to do with us being Hispanic but then I noticed the good reviews are mostly from non-POC. The old owners were kind and welcoming, but this new ownership is awful. We will not be coming here again, and if you are POC expect to be treated differently than if you had a European last name or features. I see that we are not the only ones who have complained as it seems that this restaurant can be a bit discriminatory towards POC and treat them differently than if you were a Caucasian person.

It was wonderful! There was lots of snow throughout Shaver, inside was warm and cozy, had a fire stove going, the football games were on, everyone was HAPPY & ENJOYING themselves, families, couples, friends etc. FANTASTIC FOOD! We had homemade clam-chowdee and a couple of their signature burgers. Great service! I encourage everyone to stop in for a nice cozy, comfortable, pleasant dining experience! Or if your looking for drinks- they have a full bar with some good looking specialty drinks!

Beautiful leisurely drive through the mountains and stopped in for lunch that was so good we'd eat it off a rolling truck tire! Satoko took such attentive care of us and was the funnest lady ever... Ask for her. We got the steak bites with horseradish and the short branch grubber burger with bacon, pastrami and blue cheese... OMG.... Serious yumminess!!! Thank you Satoko!!

We came in with a group of 13 and immediately were recieved with rude remarks and the waitresses all were avoiding being the ones that were out on the patio area to serve us. The waitress then came and acted like splitting a check was the worst thing in the world and like we were making her life difficult by doing that. Continued to be rude when two more of our group came in and sat down and she brought our drinks back and got frustrated that we had moved around our seats to make room for the rest of our group. We explained to her that she was being unkind and that we were not in a rush and that she could take her time and not be anxious. She continued to apologize for being rude by saying "I'm sorry for being rude but...." which negates the apology. Another waitress was rude when one of our group brought their cup inside to get a new one because it dropped on the floor. He walked out and she came back outside with the water in a huff saying "you walked out so quickly you could take just take the cup?" I understand we were a big group but when you are a waitress that is your job and it is no excuse to treat people poorly. We were all trying to be as kind as we could given the circumstance. We come here every year after our camping trip and are usually welcomed and accommodations are made. But we are all in agreement that we will not be returning no matter how good the food is.

I enjoyed an unexpectedly delicious Western Cheeseburger that is way better than a well known competitor s version. Turns out all the veggies taste GREAT in that combination. The garlic fries are just OK, Gordon Biersch set the standard. I don't go to lunch to rest fries. My fellow dinners both got dishes with the home made chili and they both declared it delicious! Seems to me the hassle around it always being crowded is because the food is quite good and very reasonably priced. Way to go!

Love the atmosphere but I think the waitress we got was new. There was 2 tables with guests. And 2 servers that were on.It took 10min to get seated. Once seated it took 15min before we left. They never came and asked for drink order or brought water or took our order. And it appeared they were not busy

Waitress was very stressed and anxious which came out as being quite rude. She acted like she's never split a check before. Another waitress seemed frustrated at bringing a new water when the cup was very dirty from being dropped. The red haired waitress did seem very friendly-i think we would've had a different experience had she been our server. The food was very good but I don't think we will be coming back, the waitress saying "I'm sorry for being rude but..." Completely negates the apology, I think she was attempting to do damage control to receive a tip. Then the one person in our party who paid cash was shorted $3 in change.

Service was beyond excellent. Server kept our glasses full, and our food came out pretty quickly especially since we had a large party (14). I called ahead and was told it may take a while to seat such a large group but when we arrived we were seated immediately. The food was excellent, I recommend the hot wings, perfectly crunchy and very delicious. We had a small baby, and extra measures were taken to make sure his experience was a good one, even bringing him out a different dish when he wasn’t really eating the one we ordered him. All in all I give this place the highest praise possible and we’ll definitely be back when we’re in the area again. Great job guys!
