Sprouts is a mostly veggie restaurant in South Lake Tahoe. The majority of the dishes are vegetarian, but can be made vegan. I ordered the veggie burro (tortilla stuffed with tempeh, salad, tahini, guacamole and salsa with tortilla chips on the side) and it was amazing. Their limeade was also ace. My only criticism was there didn't seem to be... More

I did not expect to see such a vegetarian restaurant in South Lake Tahoe. We saw this by chance and we were just entering when it struck 9 pm. They could have easily told us to come back the next day. Instead they served us good soup and another dish. Food was of high quality; even the chips. The three... More

Have ate here many times, it's fine for what it is...no red meat restaurant. Would not really call it fresh or vegetarian but great smoothies. Anyways, I won't be back after eating there today! It was very slow (Superbowl Sunday, only one or two other tables), placed our order and got everything in a timely fashion (1 order of nachos,... More

Low-key establishment with casual atmosphere and waitstaff. Tons of fresh options, you know exactly what you are getting, and it is fantastic. I eat here as often as I can, because for about 10 a person (meal and smoothie) you can't go wrong. More

Ate twice at Sprouts with a group of 6 people so got to taste many different items on the menu. Everything was fresh and plentiful. My favorites were the tuna or turkey melt sandwiches and the hot apple cider. Wish there was a Sprouts in my hometown. More

When we travel, I typically like to eat at local restaurants vs. the normal chain restaurants you have everywhere. Keeping that in mind, you know how vacations go, you indulge in food you normally wouldn't eat back home. After eating food I shouldn't have been eating, I was craving some good healthy food by mid week. I checked on T.A.... More

Quality, freshness, variety, awesome selection...eating here is a no-brainer and a MUST. It is a super-casual and laid-back environment with a friendly staff and great eats. Portions are great and the food looks great when it arrives. Seriously...if you love your body, this place is for you :-) More

We discovered this restaurant when we were on vacation, 2 days before leaving South Lake Tahoe. What a shame we did not discover it sooner! We had 3 meals there and each one was very tasty. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at Sprouts and each one kept us coming back to try more options. My husband and I loved... More
