In May 2008, Tahoe Joe's parent company, Buffets, Inc. (now VitaNova Brands) was undergoing bankruptcy and tried to sell the Tahoe Joe's chain. [3] The original Tahoe Joe's restaurant in Fresno closed in September 2016. [4]

In 2021, it was announced that it was acquired by BBQ Holdings, which, at the time, was the parent company of the barbecue restaurant chain Famous Dave's. [5] A year later, MTY Food Group gained control of the brand after the company merged with BBQ Holdings. [6]

Critical acclaim

Tahoe Joe's has received an 8 ranking from 10best. [7] Additionally, Tahoe Joe's has been noted at The Consumerist for making amends for a wedding banquet gone wrong. [8]
