Old 40 Grill - Norden

Very cool old school bar and grill in the summer, and the ski bar in the winter. At the Donner Ski Ranch. Very good burger, good beer selection. Speedy and friendly service. A little run-down, but perfectly adequate. Also caters to PCT thru-hikers and mountain bikers can gather here after riding Hole in the Ground or other nearby trails.

If you go to visit the historic train tunnels and want to eat in the area, this place is ok. People are very friendly and food is ok. We ordered the Korean wings and got hot spicy ones. They were good but we didn't want spicy hot wings.

Excellent Pit Stop for a bite, beer or both after a hike, ski day or even a place to take a lunch break from work. The food is good and Rene (Tender of Bar, waiter, storyteller, dj) is about brilliant!

After passing through Donner Tunnels, the fresh baked cake plate had to saw and stop. Mixed Berry Pie was delicious! Host was friendly and funny. Like the stickers at the bar. Will definitely be back to taste the food!

In many seats. The waiter was obese and sloppy. This alone prevented me from thinking that the food was worthy of their fine food prices. This sloppyly dressed waiter ignored me until the couple near me told him (if I refer to me) to take my order and let them know if they needed anything else It was clear for them and me that he was to float and to their table, hoping for a great tip, and ignore the woman who came from herself. It is not worth eating somewhere with prices on the menu that indicates the service should be good. (High prices with a waiter who was insulting in appearance and demeanor). So instead of eating there, I talked to a nice couple and then left. There are many good restaurants in Truckee. No need to waste time in this café.
