Char-Pit. - South Lake Tahoe

It took 1 hour to deliver two simple overpriced burgers and a pommes. One of the burgers looked like that?. Not worth it?

Best cheeseburger for 50 miles in any direction, The Char-Pit is a must-stop when at the Lake. Everything is grilled on a true charcoal pit inside the kitchen and the deep, rich taste is matchless. Family owned and operated, each burger is prepared with skill, pride, and tradition going back generations. The quintessential roadside burger stand, you 'll devour a masterpiece of a burger steps from the water, nestled among the pines. You can 't beat it...

I rarely give such low reviews, and I want to be clear that everyone working there was VERY nice. However, it just took too long for mediocre food. It was just shy of 2 hours between the wait to order, the wait for food and then eating (there were 9 of us). I believe everyone there is doing the best they can, and if the food was better, I'd give another star. Could use more covered seating and shade for the waiting area.

We stopped through Kings Beach several times and everytime we have to stop at the Char-pit. Kayla is always hustling and giving us great service when we are there. We always get the Swiss and original burger with fries and onions!!

A great Lake Tahoe jewel with an awesome staff to match. I love their gyro (either with lamb or veggie paired with a banana shake (made with actual bananas or a tiki burger paired with a passion fruit shake for something more tropical ;
