"I went to Maria?s drove back from a wedding in Graeagle and after a long day they were the best stop I had ads! When I greeted the cook myself and served with some of the best mocajets I ever had, this culinary experience was one of the best I could have had!! I recommend this restaurant to everyone and everyone in the Chilcoot, Portola, or Graeagle area and you will certainly not be abandoned. Maria? Mexican in Portola is the best in all areas for Mexicans!!!"

"We were in Truckee California for a Mountain stay, to also meet a 44-year-old Cal Poly SLO alum and her daughter, and to see Quincy and Graeagle. My friend mentioned a newly built Frank Lloyd Wright clubhouse intended for Wisconsin decades ago, no build at Nakoma Lodge and Spa in Greagle. See the pic with the detailed written history. In 1923, FLW developed an architectural concept for the Nakoma Clubhouse at Nakoma Country Club in Madison, Wisconsin and the structure’s inspiration drew from the tee pee shape of the Great Plains Indians. The central dining area is the 60-foot-high Wigwam Room with a massive, four-sided central fireplace, art glass windows, and a 17-foot-high decorative frieze of abstract Indian motifs and hanging lights. Lots of color and what appears to be gold-leaf too! Nearby is a bar, lovely CLEAN restrooms and a gift shop. There are outdoor terrace/gathering spaces off of each exit. We made a lunch reservation on-line and made our way from Truckee to Greagle finding it easily on Waze…we were early and called to move up our reservation…”no problem,’ said Kelly. We arrived, made our way to the entry where Kelly greeted us. We walked around inside, and despite tables near the HUGE central Firepit, we found a desired table adjacent to a window, so all had a side view out…no backs to the lovely mountain views! We were the only people there…a warning, a bad sign? NOPE! The service and attention and the quality of the food were excellent, with huge portions (I took half of my turkey sandwich home) great burgers, French onion soup, hearty game chile, and awesome fries. Kelly offered great non-alcoholic and alcoholic creations tweaked to our requests. Kelly’s co-host was also outstanding: friendly and attentive. What a great find and wonderful start to our adventure. For 4 adults to eat WELL…and enough food to take home for $101 was a welcome value. After lunch, some pics outside and Kelly ran outside to offer her photo support. Then onto Quincy and the best toy shop I have seen in a decade, coupled with amazingly good ice cream. Just be advised, oddly enough, the gift shop is closed for the season…to bad…we were ready to shop for Christmas gifts. WELL WORTH 1-2 HOURS OF YOUR LEISURE TIME!"

"I don’t know what happened but seems there’s been some recent changes to the way their pizza is made. Word around town is the owners recently made changes and want everything measured out now, and that reduces the quality of pizza factory’s pizza. It’s just terrible now. What used to be worth the price for good pizza is now just bad, it’s dried out pizza with no cheese, no sauce and skimp on the toppings. As loyal customers who spend money on pizza, we’re thinking we won’t be back anymore if this is how they are going to make pizza that cost $27 for a large. And if they go up more, won’t be back still. Go back to making good pizza, Pizza Factory. You got some awesome workers but can’t make pizza the way they used to. Susanville Pizza Factory blows this Pizza Factory away and makes pizza the way you used too. Very disappointing! Do not recommend."

"Good food in an amazing dining room designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Highly recommend the experience for anyone staying in or near Graeagle. Well worth the relatively short drive up the mountain."
