If you’re looking for a restaurant in Incline Village that truly offers something for everyone, Crosby’s Kitchen & Cocktail checks all the boxes. This is the kind of place where you can grab a cozy booth for all-day brunch, meet friends for lunch, bring the family for dinner, or settle into the bar for a specialty cocktail while catching the game. With plenty of TVs and 10 digital gaming machines, the bar area has an energetic, social vibe - perfect for sports fans or anyone looking to unwind.
From late spring through fall (typically May through November), the creekside patio garden becomes one of the most enjoyable outdoor dining spaces in Incline Village. Surrounded by native landscaping designed by High Sierra Garden, the patio offers mountain views of the Sierra and North Lake Tahoe, and yes, it’s dog-friendly. On a warm Tahoe evening, it’s hard to beat a cocktail in hand, mountain air on your face, and the gentle sound of the creek nearby.
There are plenty of solid menu options, but here are a few personal favorites:
- Sweet Potato Fries: In my opinion, the best on the lake. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, and dangerously addictive.
- Turkey Dip: A comfort-food classic done right.
- Southwestern Burger: Here’s the pro tip: ask for the green chili sauce on the side. They’ll bring you a bowl of pure goodness. It’s so good you’ll be tempted to grab a straw.
Crosby’s is also large enough to accommodate group events and larger parties, making it a strong option for birthdays, team gatherings, or casual celebrations without feeling cramped.
