Definitely my favorite place in So Tahoe for breakfast. Best pancakes and their special are super! A small cozy breakfast spot

I have stayed at the Kingsbury Lodge right behind the Red Hut several times. The outside has made me a little suspicious of this place. I finally came in for breakfast. To my surprise and delight it was good. I kick myself for not coming in sooner. The breakfast options are plentiful, but I went with the Dan's Special. Two eggs, two pancakes, and 3 bacons. The eggs seemed like they were medium sized not large, but that is a petty complaint. You can expect to pay $10-12 per adult and the kid menu is $5. What did I learn today? My 15 year old thought the waitress is cute. She looks like she could be Anna Kendrick's sister. read more

A hearty breakfast for the summer or winter! The jalapeno bacon... wow! The jalapeno flavor wasn't over-powering, but added a low/slow heat that really enhanced the bacon! The omelet portion size was big, and they were great on my request for an egg-white omelet. I like the old feel of the Nevada location, but happy to see their opening up new locations! The pace of service to get seated wasn't the fastest to start, but who's REALLY in that much of a rush in Tahoe?! Also, after the ball got rolling, everything came out in a reasonable time. read more

Red Hut Cafe Nevada - Jalapeño bacon stole the show!!! - American Near Me - Stateline, Nevada

A classic place for breakfast recommended by locals. Need I say more? This is where they go while tourists like us fight for a spot at places they wouldn't even bat an eyelid for. I got the Red Hut Rosti, which is about everything you'd want for breakfast. A hot and wonderful mesh of hashbrowns, cheese, green onion, with your choice of meat and a dollop of sour cream. I call that a happy plate! The only challenge is that it's quite a bit to walk from downtown. It was over a mile from where we stayed so during frosty mornings, a car would be best. But totally worth it. read more

Red Hut Cafe Nevada - Red Hut Rosti - American Near Me - Stateline, Nevada

A good solid breakfast place. I would say they offer brunch even though it is in the description. Very casual and very informal. Customer service wasn't bad but wasn't great. I would eat here again if I wanted a basic breakfast. FYI - can be a long wait. read more

I had the Red Hut Rosti with chili's and peppers which were a great addition. It was delicious! My only complaint was that I wasn't a fan of their coffee. read more

Very very good it's one of the best places on the lake you should try it in my personal opinion it's pretty much the same as IHOP but that's just me my parents say it is way better read more

I really like this place, feels very homey. Service is fast. Food is good. Come early, gets packed fast. Not very big inside. But well worth it. read more

Although this place is small, its a popular place and the food, crowd and servicing the area since 1959 says plenty about this place. I'd definitely recommend it read more

Found this little gem by searching on yelp. It's a small cozy little hut with plenty of seating. We ordered the Rostï which was hash browns smothered in cheese and sour cream with your choice of ham, bacon, or sausage. Very delicious. We also had the two egg breakfast with sausage and hash browns. Very delicious as well. The staff was friendly and efficient. The prices are great too. We will definitely be coming back here for breakfast next time we're in town. read more

I was in search for a mom made breakfast! Big score for me and my lady. Small and family friendly. Great staff, food was excellent! I will be back. Structure is smaller than thought, although well worth the big portion size of food. Try it out. Dennis J. Of Do It all Mobile Mechanic in Roseville Ca. read more

Used to love this place, but the receptionist is rude and they completely lie about wait time. Was told it would be a 30-40 minute wait, and over an hour later was told it would be another half hour or more. Over this place and the huge waste of my time. read more

The best breakfast ever!!! It's a cute little "hole in the wall" breakfast nook with a lot of history. I've never had bacon at a restaurant that tastes exactly how I like, perfectly crispy with a little bit of fat, just like grandma makes it! Pancakes were super fluffy and seriously the best ever. I had the waffle sandwich with eggs and sausage/bacon twice and my husband had the pancakes with eggs and bacon. Coffee was delicious as well. Outdoor seating is a nice option to have. Customer service was superb. We went three times during the week we were here rather than trying something new because it was THAT good. You will leave with full stomachs and complete satisfaction. read more

Stopped by, and automatically got bad vibes. Short stubby Hispanic girl host was rude. Had a basic resting face, not happy obviously. She said it was going to be a while. I asked how long, and she said she didnt know? Like what? Ok. Left. Didnt even eat here. read more

Noisy, small, friendly service. Very good food. Reasonably price for Tahoe area. First time visit but we will return. read more

Soooooo good!! Was definitely my favorite breakfast our whole trip. They have the thin waffles. They are so good. Cute location.

Nice staff. Clean location. Quick service. Good prices for being pretty close to the hotels.

You think you know what cozy is? Well, you haven't experienced cozy if you haven't had breakfast at the Red Hut. I mean singing happy birthday to a 4 year-old cozy. Full house, fast and friendly service, good food. It's hard for me to think there is a better place to have breakfast on this side of town. Raisin French toast with sausage was great, props for the real maple syrup. read more

Ordered omelette to go. The eggs were dry and the meat was hard and cold. Cheese wasn't melted. I threw it away. Be sure to check your food before you leave. Hostess was very nice and earned them a couple stars. read more

Our go to place every time we are in Tahoe! Their biscuits and gravy (The Usual) is my all time favorite meal. My husband loves the waffle sandwich. I have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered here. If I'm in Tahoe I'm definitely going to this location. (: read more

This is a really good place but when I was here their was really really bad service and I had to wait to get my food longer than 1 Hole hour.So if your one of those people that expect your food to be really fast than this is not the place for you!!!!! read more

The pancakes and waffles were great! The service here is fast and so hospitable. I highly recommend this place for a delicious breakfast. read more

Red Hut Cafe Nevada - The pancakes are the most joyous I've had in a while. - American Near Me - Stateline, Nevada

Small town diner vibe. The food is REALLY good. We came for breakfast and probably won't need to eat again until dinner. Service is super friendly and the atmosphere is very laid back. I highly recommend. read more

Nice staff. Tiny overcrowded cafe. People scooting by our little table. Food was basic. Syrup seemed watered down. Certainly didn't live up to the hype these other reviewers left. read more

Of the two Red Hut locations, you're most likely to find me here. It's not only less crowded (hardly ever a wait!), but it's steps away from the Kingsbury Crossing condos, and closer to the Nevada-side resorts and casinos. Otherwise, the same family serves up the same fare as the overcrowded sister restaurant in South Lake. And what hearty fare it is! My usual order is biscuits & gravy with eggs. In fact, they call it "The Usual." I'd like to think that they did it in honor of my steady patronage, but considering they're the best biscuits & gravy this side of the Mason-Dixon line, I'm pretty sure it's a lot of people's "usual." But sometimes, when you're still drunk from the night before, you can go for something a bit more UNusual. This is where the bacon and coconut waffle comes in. Yes, I did say bacon and coconut. You see, on the waffle portion of their menu, they have a decent list of fillings, and go on to say that they'll combine any two of your choice. Being that my friends and I share a love for bacon and coconuts, we ordered a waffle with those two magical ingredients. "I don't think anyone's ever ordred that," the waitress said, thus verifying our status as gastronomic pioneers. When the waffle finally arrived, it was everything we expected. A light, crunchy waffle filled with bits of bacon and shreds of coconut. And it was topped with whipped cream. We went on to pour some maple syrup on it and with three forks devoured this culinary monstrosity. It was marvelous. Orgasmic. A combination of savory and sweet worthy of beatification. To this day, it invades my dreams and plays a role in my breakfast fantasies. Truly a hangover legend. Of course, if you do plan on having a delicious morning-after breakfast, don't have too big a night. By 2:00pm, as the sign says, The Hut is Shut. read more

"Best place for breakfast in S Lake Tahoe when you are hung over" should be there motto. So of course I visit this place everytime I'm in Tahoe. Ya just need some grease for all that alcohol. I usually get an omelet and pour tons of hot sauce all over it and and than mustard on the hash browns. Breakfast of Champions Yo! Than I'm ready for round II! read more

$10 for my 2 eggs and 1 (just 1) chicken apple sausage (split in half to make it look like a bigger portion), with a small slab of hash browns (which I don't care for anyway) and choice of toast (i went with english muffin). i asked for over-medium eggs (semi runny but partially harden yolk) but my egg was completely runny just like an over-easy egg. my husband's "fried egg sandwich" was made with over easy (aka sunny side up) eggs too, not exactly "fried" as indicated on the menu. the place is small and cramped. the couple sitting next to our table kept awkwardly looking over at our table (this had no affect on my rating of the restaurant, just sharing the experience). everything else on the menu was not impressive either, the price is way higher than i would expect from a little diner like this. at least the service was descent. i'm not impressed by this place and probably would not come back again. read more

It is fine for pancakes, waffles, eggs....the basic stuff. I asked for a side of fruit with my sandwich and the fruit was a strange color and def looked like it had seen better days. I am sure the regular stuff moves through regularly. My egg sandwich was good. My husband got sausage and eggs. It was all fine. Just think Denny's style... read more

Umm undercooked eggs anyone?? Ordered the bacon and cheese omelette. First off it's literally eggs with cheese and two pieces bacon (not chopped up or anything) placed in the middle. I went to take a bite and the eggs were still runny.... Ya I'm not going to risk salmonella for this cheap plate (not really cheap it's $10 a pop for this 3 item disaster). Plus the hash-browns were half burned and half under cooked.... Not coming back here ever. read more

We didn't end up going to the actual restaurant at Red Hut, but to the newly opened Soda Fountain attachment that apparently just opened 3 weeks ago. They're still painting decorations and getting the finishing touches, but it's also a nice place. We arrived for ice cream after a long day boating on the lake, sat down at the pristine 1950s style counter and ordered a banana split to share. The menu specials were hand written and you could smell the vanilla off the waffle iron making cones. The boy behind the counter was new and probably no more than 16, but he tried to flirt with the three girls in bathing suits and in the process, forgot to place the banana at the bottom of our split. He remedied that in a slightly embarrassed way, but it was very cute. The ice cream was dense and decadent with chocolate syrup, marshmallow cream and strawberry topping. They had a choice of pecans or almonds, and he even gave us three cherries to top it off. That ice cream, that environment and everything about it was exactly what we needed that afternoon. read more

We didn't take much of a gamble coming here as it is one of the few breakfast options in the South Lake Tahoe area, but I can safely say we won't be coming back. From the moment we stepped inside we knew we were in trouble. There was about a ten minute wait for seats among their already very limited seating. Cozy, I thought, but not when half the city's population is eating there and bumping shoulders in the aisles, yelling over the noise or angling their butts over your food as they squeeze by. Our server was either overwhelmed or slow because it took forever to get our order in. After about a half hour wait for our food and being ignored with stomachs grumbling, I was literally standing to tell them to cancel our order so we could leave and grab a donut or something when the food arrived. What my friend and I had waited so long for were some pancakes you could cook at home with instant mix, eggs, bacon and undercooked hash browns that resembled more of a shredded potato puree. The one bright point was the jalapeño bacon: crispy with a kick. There is another Red Hut on the California side. Maybe that one is better. read more

Greasy spoon breakfast joint. The South Lake Tahoe original. Good food with ample portions. Friendly service and cheap prices. The decor looks like it hasn't changed (or been cleaned) for 50 years. Nothing really outstanding or original about the menu but the food is tasty. You know they're doing something right when a restaurant has spawned numerous additional locations. I recommend the omelets. read more

This is a great breakfast spot near Stateline in Lake Tahoe. It's on the Kingbury Grade and very hard to find so keep your eyes open. We got waffles, biscuits and gravy and their Red Hut Rosti (Hashbrowns with bacon, onions, cheese and sour cream)! The biscuits and gravy were great. Fresh biscuits and the gravy had good flavor. The waffles were also good. Crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Plus you can also have bacon inside of it! Which we did and it was good. Out of everything we had the must try is the Red Hut Rosti. It takes hashbrowns to a different level. The bacon, cheese and sour cream give hashbrowns a whole new flavor. Service was good, not great. It's a very small diner that seats about 20-25 people. It totally fits the Lake Tahoe area. A woodsy diner with a homie feeling. read more

Sadly this place didn't do it for me. I found Red Hut on Yelp and was expecting great things. Maybe it was my fault because I ordered a hamburger for breakfast, but that shouldn't have mattered. I ordered a blue cheese burger, medium rare. I got a stale bun with a well done, premade patty that was better suited for a hockey puck than a burger. Good news is that the Earl Grey tea I ordered was good. My hubby ordered Corned beef hash. It was obviously out of a food service can. YUCK! For 9.95 he could have gotten top of the line wet dog food and it would have been just as good. We sat at the bar. Service was friendly and quick. Thus a second star. Needless to say, we won't be back. read more

Actually kind of bummed. I looked at the reviews and expected a lot more. Maybe we just ordered the wrong items but I was very disappointed. If you look in my reviews of breakfast places, I always order the corned beef hash to see how well they make it. I have found some fantastic spots all around that take the art of their corned beef hash very serious. I looked up on their "Specials" board and they had their corned beef hash listed. I thought, "Great, it must be good. Let's try it out." Straight out of a can and barely heated on the flat top. Very bummed. My wife ordered what the waitress said was one of their best burgers. She ordered medium rare. Burger was just a frozen patty type and was over cooked. Bun was way too big for the burger and was kind of falling apart. Not really good at all. I can heat canned corned beef for a buck at home and specialty burgers using boxed frozen patties? Very bummed for our time there. We won't be going back. read more

Cute, small diner in South Lake. It is a great alternative to Denny's or IHOP. Basic meals like eggs, omelets, hash browns, ect. They do not take debit/credit cards, so bring a bunch of cash. Sometimes there is a wait on Saturdays or Sundays but no place to wait inside, which can be sort of annoying. read more

This place is decent not much to rave about. It may have better reviews than the local IHOP but for a family owned place this would be a 3 star. The staff knows people by name but don't really smile at the visitors. Came here with my family and our order took about 15 minutes to come out when the place wasn't even packed. Come here early to beat the crowd. read more

Yes ... this place is AWESOME. It's my favorite place for breakfast from 6AM to 2PM in South Lake Tahoe. Today was my first time there and it certainly won't be my last. I had the "Waffle Sandwich" - Waffle with fresh butter, 2 slices of heart healthy bacon, and an over-easy egg. My counter-neighbor had the "Weekend-only special" - Chili Bean, Cheese, and Onion Omelet with hash browns and toast. This looked incredible and I was willing to increase my risk of having a heart-attack by consuming this lovely creation. Pros: + Affordable prices. + Super friendly wait staff + Super friendly patrons + Authentic Old School Atmosphere + Cool Counter for fast service! + Gift shop for Red Hut Swag + Daily Specials Cons: - potentially long waits - CASH ONLY - NO Corned Beef Hash Can't wait to go back to LAKE TAHOE just to eat here. read more

We are here each time we come to Tahoe. Great breakfast food and they are always busy with both tourists and locals. Our waitress was meh but all the other help is sooooooo nice. Food was excellent. read more
