This cute little diner has been here for a long time. My mom has enjoyed the food over the past decade! We come for breakfast and brunch. Just had a mimosa last time I was here and it did not disappoint. The staff is friendly and the prices are decent. The waffle was light and crunchy and just so very perfect! Eggs and bacon are yummy as well. Will definitely be back! read more

Great place. Good food, cheerful and friendly staff. Sparking clean. Loved it. Highly recommend.

We stopped at C and T's for breakfast this morning while coming home from camping. We arrived around 10:30am and they were busy, but we were still seated immediately. The inside had that small town diner feel which I always like. Huge food portions! We ordered the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito, Pancake, Scrambled Eggs and Bacon plus a 2 Eggs plate with Hash-Browns and Bacon with a side of Biscuits and Gravy. All the food was pretty good, we really liked the bacon and pancake, but the potatoes were under seasoned and the biscuits were a bit hard for my taste. The downside was our server was very slow, she would disappear randomly and there were other tables that came in after us who got their food first. Also, when she brought the bill and then ran my card, the receipt that came out was $5 more. The taxes and service charge weren't added until my card was ran which I thought was odd and I was bit annoyed that it wasn't on my original bill. Plus, I was charged $1.50 for the Biscuits and Gravy and nowhere on their menu does it state that there is an extra charge. The menu lists toast or biscuits and gravy...would there have been an additional cost if I would have picked toast instead? The only reason I am not rating lower is because of the decent food, but this place should definitely put the additional price for biscuits and gravy and the full bill amount should be listed the first time. This all rubbed me the wrong way, so we probably won't be back. read more

Fast service and food was wonderful- had ham and cheese omelette and hash browns. Some of the best hash browns I've had- highly recommended.

Very friendly staff, great food, good prices. We came here before going to Apple Hill and had a really nice breakfast. The outdoor seating was well shaded, but not fancy. All in all, it was a solid choice to start our morning. read more

Your basic breakfast and lunch diner. This is a nice stop when you're on a long drive as it's adjacent to Highway 50 or convenient for locals as well. A very casual atmosphere we were pleasantly greeted and grabbed a seat. Our server efficiently, operated as hostess, waitress, server, bus person, and cashier for the entire restaurant. The restaurant is very clean and food was good. Efficient service even though we came in at the same time with three or four other parties. The menu is somewhat limited, but you'll get a quality meal regardless of what you do order. We would recommend the Charlie's Chips, their home made potato chips, that are an option with many of the lunch sandwiches. read more

This morning we stopped here for breakfast on our way down the hill from Tahoe. We've been to this restaurant a few times before and the breakfasts are just right. We've always had good service (and food) but this morning our waitress, Carmen, was simply outstanding. She was so personable and friendly, welcoming and efficient. It was a wonderful start to the day. My best friend and I do an annual week trip to Tahoe and we decided that because of this delightful lady, we're going to add this stop on our way to Tahoe and not just from Tahoe. Thank you, Carmen. We really appreciated your kindness. read more

Family run, always clean, good food, great people, local businesses, the place to go in town.

Great breakfast. Very nice owners. We were riding through on motorcycles and the group of us decided to check it out. It is a very good "Mom and Pop "type restaurant. Next time we ride through this area I'm stopping again. read more

I still have no idea what C & T stands for, but what I do know if a good deal when I see it. While on a early morning road trip to Tahoe with some friends we decided to stop at C & T a couple minutes after they just opened for breakfast. The staff seemed sleepy, but still greeted us with a smile. This place had an old timey country diner vibe. Cozy. Coming from the Bay Area, I am numb to the prices we have to pay for breakfast/brunch. So when we opened the menu and saw all the options on here for such a reasonable price I automatically knew I would love this place. We had a decent sized group with 7 people, but we ordered and got our food fairly quickly! I ordered the corn beef hash with eggs over-easy and hashbrowns. My girlfriend got the eggs, sausage, potatoes, and a biscuit with gravy. Portion size was more than enough and some of us had to get a to-go box for the rest. Everything hit the spot and the bill was only $15 per person. Would recommend coming here anytime! read more

Our old place on the way up to Tahoe changed formats, so we needed a new breakfast spot. We go up with a group of guys each year. So our focus was on hardcore savory stuff that would fill us up until dinner that night in the casinos. Chicken fried steak and eggs is the only thing I wanted. I'm a recovering Texan, and this is just about as legit a chicken fried steak as I've had. That dish has evolved in Texas to be so many different things..but if you walked into a diner in Dallas in 1977, this is what you would get. And it was perfect! Pounded thin, crispy batter, fork tenderized. And then biscuits and gravy as a no-charge side!? Oh, man. Biscuits were substantial. Not the flakiest, but perfectly good. And the country gravy, again, was as good as anything I've had down south. No corn-starch crap. Just drippings, milk, sausage, flour, salt and pepper....as best I can tell. It was perfect. This is the new stop for our annual trip up. read more

Dropped in for breakfast on Saturday morning with my hubby, son and two grandkids. I picked C & T due to the great reviews. We arrived at 11 am and were seated right away. The food is mediocre but the service is wonderful. If I were to rate the restaurant on their service alone they would receive 5 stars. Our server was very attentive. She was able to serve us all at the same time. The hubby and son ordered the Corned Beef Hash breakfast which they both said was bland. I had eggs, hash browns and bacon. The hashbrowns were barely warm and bland. Really good bacon. Our older girl ordered a waffle that looked delicious. The little one wanted a pancake but we had to order the pancake that came with an egg. The egg wasn't touched. The pancake looked light and fluffy. I was disappointed not to see a Child's section on the menu although they offer a section for lighter appetites which is a bit much for a 5-year-old. Our bill came to $103 for 3 adults and 2 children PLUS, a charge of $3 plus change for using a debit card. Wow, never ran into that before. read more

Delicious Mexican dinner. Great fresh salsa, quick service, my enchilada taco and chile relleno were really good, he ordered the Friday fajita special and was happy with it. Basic good Mexican food. Only thing is their "wine margarita" is bright green, must be loaded with artificial color, no? read more

I wanted breakfast at a cafe, and my husband wanted a breakfast burrito. We found ourselves searching Yelp on a road trip and this place came up and delivered on both our wishes! We shared a bacon breakfast burrito, which came with a side of hash browns, and it was delicious. I don't know if it was the particular blend of cheeses, or because it was served wet-style, topped with salsa, sour cream and avocado, but it was so flavorful. One of the best breakfast burritos I've had. The size provided plenty of food for both my husband and I, which made the $16.99 breakfast price worth it. read more

Chile verde burrito was huge with lots of big pieces of pork. The burrito had great flavor. I got it to go and it came covered in chile verde sauce with sour cream and fresh guacamole on the side. It wasn't an avocado salsa, but freshly made guacamole. In addition, it came with a bag of chips and a huge 8oz (coffee cup) of fresh salsa. I will definitely be back! read more

Great breakfast restaurant and best reason to eat here it's not a chain, nor fast food just good food made to order.

Okay food, good service. Old fashion restaurant. The food could be a little fresher and improve on the flavors.

I'll start by saying the service was very good. The restaurant is nice plenty of natural light and really clean as well as their bathrooms. The food was really good I had the Reuben, though I'm a bit disappointed with it. It tasted good but whenever the dive of it was just a let down. Most restaurants that carry a Reuben pride themselves on stacking it high with meat. Not this one!! I finished the whole sandwich in about four bites. If I'm ever in town I'll stop again and try something different though not the Reuben. read more

We stopped by C&Ts on our way home from Tahoe. From the outside it doesn't look like much, inside is a welcoming old school diner theme. The food was delicious! My husband and I both ordered the chili omelette with hash browns and sourdough toast. This is a typical order at most breakfast diners for us but we were pleasantly surprised with the toast. It was thicker bread and toasted but soft and buttery. The kids ordered a waffle with blueberries, and the kids breakfast plate. All three of them scarfed down their meals commenting on how good the food was. The bathrooms were nice and clean. We would eat here again if in the area. read more
