If you've visited SLT and never tried the Sno-Flake then shame on you ! The most indulgent shakes are worth the trip alone - don't try to drink them, it's not possible - and the burgers are grilled to perfection, reminding why burgers became so popular in the first place. Not cheap for what it is but definitely required.

Loved the burger, got their 'big cheese'' but substituted turkey patties, and fries. Let's start with the burger, loved it. The house dressing pulled it all together. Literally one of the best burgers I've had. Being a french fry snob, these fried would make my top 10 list. The atmosphere was fun, however I do wish they would have been... More

Been in SLT for at LEAST 30 years. Great place to get some ice cream in the summer; other food is just so-so (standard burgers, fries, tacos, etc.) You can sit outside and its close to the lake. The only downside is that sometimes the lines can get loooooong, and SOME of the teenagers working the counter are really, really... More

Stopped by this small place, which has a vintage look to it, and we were hoping for a genuine classic Milk Shake. The sign on the front said something about "best milk shakes", so decided to give it a try. My review is based only on the Ice Cream (actually, it is only soft-serve in two flavors plus a swirl.)...

You can tell by the crowd of people out front that this is a favorite for the locals and travelers alike. Mile high ice cream cones dipped in chocolate and great burgers. Also offers a variety of other goodies at an average price for non-chain burger joint.

Stoped in, when we saw the sign about 'Award Winning Shakes', The food (burger; fish and chips) were agerage, but the Chocolate/Peanut Butter Shake was HORRIBLE. Only able to eat 1/3 - the rest got thrown away. Won't go back.

I ordered my food just inside the restaurant door before I got a good look at the cleanliness of the establishment. As I walked to the back to use the restroom I saw how filthy the walls were and how dirty the restroom was. Walking back I noticed the dirt more and more. This place could use a good scrub... More

After being in Lake Tahoe for a while, and often overspending on food, the family and I were looking for a good, yet inexpensive meal. A friend that lives in Tahoe highly recommended the Snow Flake Drive In and he couldn't have been more right on the money! The Snow Flake is a small hamburger shack with large neon signs,... More
