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

Thank you, fellow Yelpers. Because of you, I found the Red Hut. The manfolk had the jalapeno bacon omelet (which was LOADED with bacon) and the infamous hash-browns. I had the blueberry strudel french toast and, of course, BACON! We both loved our meals and appreciated the cozy atmosphere. It was a weekday so we got lucky and were seated immediately. Great service and wonderful food. I wish they were in Oregon... Take advantage if you can! read more

The Red Hut definitely has some serious breakfast. David O is right, you don't come here for some fancy benediction, you come here for something cheesy and covered in gravy. The Usual is what breakfast is all about. 2 eggs, hash browns and 2 biscuits covered in thick gravy with pieces of sausage in it, YUM and all for only $4.99! I had breakfast at The Hut twice this weekend and It was great both times. It's quaint, clean, the employees are friendly and the food is delicious. read more

Horrible is the only word to describe this place. And what could you expect from a place that is run by 19 year olds? I knew that this is going to be a very cozy out of the way place, so in no way was I expecting an amazing experience and service, but that was just horrible. Service - I was trying to replace two pancakes for 1 waffle in my combo (they are about the same price) - "no" came out of the waitress before I could finish the sentence. Our check came out before the food. Bacon was so dry that my husband put it aside and didn't eat it (and he never leaves bacon!) Sausages looked like little black sticks - how can you burn it so bad and still serve it? Eggs were a separate story - we both ordered sunny side up and they were completely raw. There was a thin layer of set egg whites on the bottom, the rest was transparent and jiggly. We sent them back and they came back horribly overdone. Pancakes... I guess they were OK, how hard is it to screw up pancakes anyway? Never again! read more

Four words: Blueberry strudel french toast. This is my favorite Red Hut, by far. I like that it's smaller and older than the newer restaurants, so it's more intimate and old fashioned. The vintage pictures on the walls give it a nostalgic feel. The staff seem to genuinely get along, and it makes for pleasant dining. This is the place to fuel up on waffles, pancakes or a traditional egg breakfast. The blueberry strudel french toast is out of this world. Get here early to avoid the crowds - or make it brunch after the morning rush. read more

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

The food was great and they did have corn beef hash. I also liked the local crowd and the friendly staff. However, the service was a bit slow and the close quarters made it a little warm inside. However, I'd come back to this place in a minute. read more

Excellent diner! After reading Archie R., and Omid T.'s reviews, I had to visit The Red Hut Cafe during my Tahoe visit last year. I was not disappointed! The Red Hut serves up warm, hearty, and tasty plates that are perfect after a day of skiing, snowboarding, shopping, or people watching. 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

I kept it simple and sweet this trip to Tahoe... just got the good ol' american breakfast of eggs over easy, sausage, and hashbrowns. Let me tell you... some of the best tasting breakfast sausage I've ever had! It was so good I got the same breakfast two days in a row!!! The ambiance is fun and has the old diner feel to it. They also have a fountain soda bar - or whatever you call it - connected to it too. Fun place to go with friends or your bf! :) read more

cold and carless, we walked from harvey's to grab some breakfast. I had the waffle sandwich, with a small helping of my bf's chile omelet. the bacon is nice and thick, and my waffle was crispy and buttery. everything was greasy spoon good, and the servers were cool. the joint is pretty small so there's a little waiting involved, but the food is worth it. i splurged and bought a mug to remember them by. read more

Awesome breakfast!!! There's a reason why the Red Hut has such a long history - great food & great vibe. We spent 5 days in Tahoe and went to the Red Hut Cafe twice.....the only two times we ate out for breakfast. There was a variety of breakfast items ordered.....ham & swiss omelette, sausage and jack omelette, french toast, biscuits, etc....you get the point. Everything was tasty and abundant. Waitresses are on point with the coffee refills. They never let my cup get more than half empty! 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

Pancakes and crispy bacon are yummy here. I ordered a pancake sandwich, but it was served deconstructed. That was what I was going to do to it anyways, but don't expect the eggs and bacon to be put in between two pancakes, if that's what you wanted. Small space in what looks like an old ski chalet and decorated with local area photos and memorabilia. Cute and more of that local diner feel, but groups any bigger than six should beware that if they can squeeze you in that it will be tight. There's bar seating also, if you want to sit at the counter to eat. I'd go back. Nice that it's off the main strip but still really close to the hub of things. Friendly service even though they were short a person that morning. read more

I came here strictly based on yelp.com reviews of the place. Needless to say I wasn't let down. I ordered the "French toast special" (three peices of your choice of toast, french style..lol...with bacon or sausage) Next time I'll just get the French toast because the bacon sucked, I could have cooked better bacon at home, and I suck at makin bacon, seriously! My husband ordered a side of strawberries with his meal and they tasted like they came from someones garden that morning. They were so fresh and delicious. All in all the experience was good, attentive staff, cheap prices, and surprisingly to us we had zero wait time! read more

One of the locals recommended this place and I'm glad we gave it a try. The Red hut rösti was amazing!!!!! The combination of the sour cream, green onions, cheese and eggs was to die for. We will be eating here again before we head back home. read more

3.5 stars! This is a very mom and pop diner... or so I thought. We drive down the same street and you will run into 2 more! But it doesn't change the appeal, they had a meal called "the usual" and I liked that. I read the menu and it was called a Waffle Shop before, I ordered the banana waffle. Very yummy with whip cream all over it too! The boyfriend had an omelet. The portions are HUGE! My favorite thing there were the hash browns. Some people go for the entrees, but I LOVE sides! Especially when they are potatoes. This place just offers GOOD diner food. Simply. 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

Boy. I was sooooo hung over when we stopped in at the Red Hut one Sunday morning. If you're freshly off a bender (or maybe still on one), Red Hut can cure what ails you. Supposedly the way you know if you're going to be able to get food down again is if the food smells good to you and makes you hungry. We got the Usual, which is one biscuit and gravy, two eggs, and hash browns. Mmmm. And they didn't even mind that partway through I had to go rest my head against the wall. I like you, little Hut. p.s. while waiting for your table or counterspace don't lay on the grass of the church next door. there are giant ants. Mmmm. read more

You must check out this small cozy breakfast joint when you are in Lake Tahoe! We stumbled upon it and were hooked. We ended up visiting this cafe every morning on our trip. We had a chance to try the chicken fried steak, breakfast burrito and biscuits and gravy. It's all really delicious and the portions are huge. Prices are really reasonable too. read more

Ate at this RH on Kingsbury grade. They now have four restaurants-3 in Tahoe and one in Carson City, NV Service was attentive, but was lacking in follow-up on refilling liquids and checking back to see how the food was. This place keeps the same ambiance as the original. Small and quaint. On a busy weekend you'll be waiting a long time to get a seat. I am on a search for the perfect pancake. The one I had was very close. It was big, fluffy and not chewy. I also tried the Denver omelet. It was bland. It had the proper elements but something in the flavor section was missing. Overall a basic breakfast but nothing special. Still searching for a great all around experience in the area of breakfast dining. read more

Best Breakfast in the area. Delicious coconut waffles, jalapeño bacon and hot chocolate. A definite must when visiting Lake Tahoe read more

Since the Red Hut is noted for its waffles, and I like bacon, I tried the bacon waffle. I think they make it by pouring batter into the waffle maker and laying strips of bacon on top, and then pouring more batter on top. I saw the fruit waffles that looked like they were made the same way. But they came piled with fruit on top with a nice whipped cream border. My husband had "the usual" eggs, home fries, bacon - not fancy, but your average American breakfast. The funny thing is, we really liked the coffee, and even asked what the brand is, so I was surprised to read the other reviews. We found out it is Farmer's Brothers and not available to us. However, if you are a fan of the usual breakfast place coffee, you just might be disappointed. As for me, I like Peet's so this was a really pleasant surprise. If you are into a fancy, refined breakfast place, good luck finding a place in Tahoe. But if you are up for a down-home friendly place, you'll feel right at home here. read more

Came here for breakfast (brunch, really). We were not disappointed. I ordered the Red Hut Rösti, which didn't sound like much of a meal, so the lovely waitress recommended adding an egg on top. What an egg-cellent suggestion! It was fantastic. My husband ordered a burger which was HUGE with quite the pile of fries accompanying it. All-in-all, we were quite pleased. If we have the opportunity to get out for another morning meal while we're in Tahoe, we'll be back!! (I only gave it four stars because the service was a little slow at times, even though they weren't packed. But that didn't keep us from enjoying our meal.) read more

You have got to try the cornmeal waffle they are absolutely incredible, you will love it!

Got the special for breakfast and food was top notch. Staff was friendly and the price was very very nice to the wallet..... The only complaint that I have is the other yelpers that wrote a bad review. Come on people this place was nice. And the food is awesome. read more

This place has gone down hill a bit - not sure what happened? Food is so so, about the same as Denny's, but more expensive. Not sure i could recommend this place anymore. Maybe the good cook went to the new Carson Red hut? --RibChamp read more

2nd time coming here for breakfast one of our favorite places in Tahoe! People are so friendly and servers are amazing! read more

Sleazy looking, half way clean feeling, a place where Mike and Molly would feel right at home. The salty corn beef hash, large portions, and bland coffee are good for serious hangovers and people living in low rent properties around Tahoe. Would not go back unless at gun point! read more

Chicken fried steak with country gravy, hashbrowns and two eggs over easy all on one plate, bowl of biscuits and gravy then serve to starving patrons. Really enjoyed my meal. read more

Was in Lake Tahoe for a business retreat. A local told me about this breakfast place. They have a couple locations but I opted for the original location that you could probably drive right by and never know it was there. I got there early to beat the crowd and it was worth it. Eggs, hash browns and crispy bacon. Not sure what they put in it but it is very good . read more

Pancakes are YUMMY. Probably the best I've had. Jalapeno bacon was a bearably spicy. Coffee was ...coffee. Toast was a little on the bread side... so I had to send it back to get it toasted some more. Service was ok. Though upon entering, I didn't feel very welcomed. Few staff members made eye contact without a greeting... so we stood around and waited to be seated... but I think you seat yourselves. Will be back for the pancakes. ... and will sit at the bar. =) read more

Great food, had the French toast, waffle and pancakes, very good. Great service as well. Cute, nostalgic spot.

An Easy Five Stars! This is the place you think of when you are hungry and in the mood for a home cooked breakfast and friendly service! It doesn't disappoint. The original location is on the California side, but this one is tucked away not far up the Kingsbury Grade. Probably a hit with the locals, and lesser known by the ski crowd. Omelettes are generous and fluffy. I had the Cheese and Sausage, and crispy hash browns, too! I think another diner nearby had "built their own omelette" because it was huge! The waffles are fantastic! Can't wait to come back! read more

I think the best breakfast in town. Omelette with 5 item choices. Really good! I wish they had potatoes, hash browns only read more

It was a busy weekend at Stateline NV, and hard to get a table anywhere. We found this little breakfast gem a short drive from the hotel. The food was incredible! I got the egg sandwich on sourdough with bacon and cheddar and a side of hashbrowns. Also, the service was fantastic, very inviting and attentive staff. Seating was available both inside and out with social distancing of tables and masks required. read more

This is a fun place. Lots of history, great ambiance and above average diner fare at very reasonable prices. It's small, so there are better choices for larger groups. Unfortunately, our server, Liza, brought a bunch of attitude to the table. Evidently questions about the menu (e.g., do you make your own corned beef hash?) are to be endured rather than answered cheerfully. A customer service refresher is probably in order. read more

such a nice place to start off your morning with. i love walking from my hotel up the incline to be greeted by kind, welcoming staff. food was delicious, as always. served very fast. our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had everything we wanted. it's always a joy stopping by every time i'm in town. read more
