Zephyr Lodge At Northstar - Truckee

You can place your order using your phone or at a kiosk, and then simply pick it up when it's ready. This means no waiting in line to order food, which helps you save valuable skiing time. Food rating: 4/5.

The wait at the bar was incredibly slow. It took 20 minutes to get two beers. The bartender would take an order, put the empty plastic cups on the bar, and then vanish into the back for several minutes. There were at least a dozen people waiting in line, but instead of serving drinks, he was busy chatting with customers.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. We waited about an hour, and by the time we were ready to order, they had run out of fries and chicken. It was frustrating to see other customers who ordered after us receive their fries before us. The drinks were terrible, and the place was incredibly crowded. Overall, this was the worst lodge on the mountain.

Large lodge where skiers convene for a lunch break or drink. You order by scanning the QR code at each table and pay via phone app. When your order is ready, your number lights up on a digital monitor. You pick up at the window.Food is basically fast food with very limited selections. If you're a season pass holder, you can get 20% off your order.Bathroom is kept very clean. They have outdoor seating. The lodge closes at 3:00 pm.

When you walk out onto the balcony the door's locked behind you. Their staff was aware of it but apparently having their guests unable to bus their tables seems like a good idea to them
