It's rather unexpected to find such a hidden gem in a strip mall. The restaurant is rather small, the Hawaiin decor rather fun (each table has a different set of funny salt and pepper shakers), and EXCELLENT food. You have a wide variety of choices, for both meat-eaters and vegetarians alike. It seems like just about every dish could be... more

We were told to eat here from a local, telling her we didnt want a chain restarant but just good tasting food. I had my laptop so i looked it up, everyone seems to love the food not the servers. Still was wiling to give it a shot. We had a nice time, our server was perfectly fine, pleasant and... more

I found this place via trip advisor and was glad I did. The place is tucked inside a strip mall and has a funky Hawaiian decor. The food was very good, healthy options, lots of vegetarian options as well as something for everyone. We all enjoyed out meal. more

Heard from the locals that this place was great, but wasn't sure looking from the outside in based on appearance (inside a little strip mall next to a chinese food place). But what a great surprise. We enjoyed EVERYTHING (salad, swordfish special, noodle bowl, ribs, fish tacos, sushi roll, wine). Had the coconut cream pie for dessert, and it was... more

We were very happy to have stumbled upon this place after seeing an ad for it in our resort directory. Amongst the many greasy spoons and heavy American restaurants in the area, this place is a true find. The restaurant is located in a tiny strip mall. It's not totally clear from the outside, just look for the lonely Chinese... more

My boyfriend and I ate at Freshies three times in our eight day trip to Tahoe. We love organic, fresh food and Freshies has a great variety of it. We are not strict vegetarians, but enjoy vegetarian food and fish, as well as anything that is fresh. The menu had something for everyone, regardless of their tastes or preferences. They... more

We had lunch at Freshies twice during our recent trip to Tahoe. Both times were great. Casual, fun, Hawaiian-style decor. The menu has about half vegetarian and half non-vegetarian items. My husband had the Reuben and I had the Veggie Reuben (tempeh). Both were excellent, and came with a huge portion of fries. Very hearty, rib-sticking food. On another visit,... more

The best fish tacos in town! Very cute Hawaiian decor and even deck seating on the roof with an awesome view of the lake. I also love the local's appreciation days and the Christmas cheer fundraiser. Good vibes and good food. more
