thanks.
Sprouts, right off highway 50 across from the campground. 3125 Harrison Ave.

It has a real vegan, tofu, hippy vibe, but even a redneck like me can enjoy the very large portions and very reasonable prices. Try the Tahoe Turkey Sandwich.

Also the Beacon Bar and Grill at Camp Richardson. Great view of the lake. I've got a bunch more, but I have to get back to work. :)

Good Luck! Post a report.

If you stick to the Incline area, seek out "Ts rotisserie" at 901 Tahoe Blvd, tucked in behind 7-11. Hole in the wall local joint with some of the best food on the North shore.

Most of the casinos have Friday night all you can eat seafood buffets.

Bacchi's is tucked away in the woods just north of Tahoe City. It is very good old style Italian and has been there for many decades. (It has always been good when I went there, but a few recent Yelp reviews say it's gone downhill.) Sunnyside Resort on the northwest shore has a deck on the water that gives divine atmosphere. As mentioned, Beacon Bar and Grill at Camp Rich also has nice atmosphere. River Ranch Lodge is on the Truckee River at the turnoff to Alpine Meadows. Their deck is above some high Class II to low Class III rapids and you can watch kayakers navigate the whitewater (unsure how good food is now). On CA 89 just north of the South Y (in South Lake Tahoe) is a fairly good Mexican place called Cantina de los Tres Hombres. Truckee has a couple of nice places.

Many other of my old favorites have changed hands, so I don't know about current quality.
