    The food was great. The service was outstanding. The front person greeted us. The place was bright but not too bright for breakfast hours. The food was awesome!! And it was only $20 for both me and my wife!! Keep up the great job!!

    Great breakfast and service at this Carson City location. Finally, a breakfast out that did not break the bank. One order of the Usual one order of bisquit and gravy a la carte, coffee, and ice tea all for under $20. A small wait on a Sunday morning. Super fast service after our order was placed. I'm pleasantly surprised!

    Service was quick and got seated at a booth. Food was delicious as usual. 3% discount for cash taken out at the register. Girl working at the register was new and had to be helped out by waitresses

    The Usual with ROSTI
    Carl F.

    We were walking around S Lake Tahoe and saw Red Hut. I'd read that it was a local favorite, so I talked my brother into going there with me. It was a great place. After waiting 5 minutes for a seat, we were seated by the window at a tiny table. We both had the daily special, THE USUAL. It was two eggs, hash browns, and a biscuit/gravy for $9.99. I upgraded mine for $2 to their specialty, the ROSTI, which includes chopped sausage, green onions, cheddar, and sour cream on my crisp hash browns. Well worth it, as was the coffee. $13 and $15 each (+ tax/tip) for big breakfasts in Tahoe was a bargain. The Red Hut is decorated inside like a fishing/ski lodge version of Cracker Barrel in a more homey atmosphere. Very nice people and good quick service. Hard to complain. We'll be back next time we are in the area.

    Yes I'm actually up at this hour but rarely. I'm shocked I have not found this cafe earlier, it's probably because I'm never up this early to eat. The staff is really on top of things here, I was greeted promptly and seated at my choice of the counter or a booth. I like counters if I can see the cooks at work and this was not the case so I chose a booth. The order was taken quickly since my choice was made up prior to entering. I ordered the chicken fried steak with eggs eyes looking up and they had hash browns with the order, yum. I gotta say they make a chicken fried steak worth coming for all the time. This was probably one of the best chicken fried steaks I have had in long time. This cafe has multiple locations owned probably by the same owner/s. They certainly know their stuff keeping this a simple but exceptionally good food cafe. The decorations are what you would expect from a old fashioned diner, very nice touch. I need to mention they also have the correct hot sauce for breakfast.

    Avocado toast with fresh tomatoes and green onions. One side of a poached egg, and a cup of coffee!

    Down home breakfast! Truly enjoyed my avocado toast with diced fresh tomatoes and green onions and poached egg on the side, followed with a perfect cup of coffee!!

    Rosti with bacon and an over medium egg.

    We always used to go to red hut when we lived in Tahoe but haven't been there for years. We decided to go to this one to get our Rosti fix and I think they are even better than Tahoe! We went around 1pm. The service was quick, the food was hot and delicious and the rosti was just as cheesy delicious as we remembered. We also got the cornbread waffle which was delicious but nothing like a waffle more like thin cornbread with honey and butter.

NOTHING CAME OUT SO SHE STARTED SQUEEZING THE FROSTING CAP AND SMEARING ON SOMETHING. I was at the register and waiting for the cake. She brought it back. I paid. As i was leaving I saw an old dirty full trash can full of pink frosting cap smears of dried crusty frosting. It was disgusting to figure out the employee was smearing my frosting for my cake on an old full dirty trash can. That employee should be fired. She was laughing the entire time. Rubbing frosting on an old dirty trash can and then putting the frosting on a childs cake is unbelievable. So vile. NEVER GOING BACK THERE EVER AGAIN. The cake we found out was super old. This place needs to get new employees and they need to be taught proper cleanliness procedures. We threw the cake out and bought another one at the super market. Didnt trust those owners or employees. Didnt want to get sick. Horrible establishment. Id give them a NEGATIVE SCORE. BASKIN ROBBINS NEEDS TO NOT ALLOW THEM TO USE THEIR NAME. ​​

    Dirty Dough is legit!…read more My first experience with Dirty Dough was at the Tahoe Blue Event Center where they have a stall and dish out amazing cookies at every hockey game. The cookies were great there, but my visit to the store was even more incredible! I learned that Dirty Dough isn't just cookies. It's dessert bars, cinnamon rolls, dirty sodas, shakes, and more! The ordering experience is in person at the register and then your treats get freshly made right there in front of you. The young lady who helped us was great and super quick. There is a small bench to wait on while they prep your scrumptious desserts. We ordered the Kookie Monster cookie, the Raspberry Cheesecake cookie, and a Coffee Cake dessert bar. All were served warm and the frosting and toppings go on fresh so they are soft and creamy when you're ready to eat. The raspberry cheesecake cookie was absolutely insane and I loved the texture of the coffee cake bar. It was like a cookie, brownie, cake-y texture. Amazing. Dirty Dough has monthly rotations flavors, not weekly like Crumbl, but in my opinion, this is absolutely the place for quick treats in Carson City. Go Dirty Dough!

Very sweet, glad that the three of us shared it. The cookies are stuffed with different fillings, they were warm and gooey. A bit difficult to pick up because they were so soft. Our hands were so sticky, don't forget to pack some wet napkins! That would have been helpful had we known;) We could only sample each cookie because much like the cinnamon roll they were very sweet. Definitely an indulgent sweet treat! They also sell shakes and bars, there's lots of variety to choose from:)

    Where has this been all my life, and why is it tucked in a small food court in a bowling alley!? I…read moreordered the Wild West Tater and honestly was expecting a fairly satisfying, but ordinary, baked potato with toppings. What I received was an amazing blend of super tender pork in a slightly sweet but tangy BBQ sauce, mac n' cheese, and a perfectly cooked (not hard or dry), very generously sized potato (big enough for two). On a chilly day, when you're hungry, this absolutely fits the bill. Warming and savory, but well balanced, and not greasy. After some bowling or billiards? Perfect. I was thinking this was probably the best flavor, when I saw the rotating ad for....a spaghetti potato pie. Will have to come back and try other varieties. The cashier was very helpful and patient explaining the menu. Checked the website and looks like they update the menu with new options too. They say they're "dedicated to perfecting the art of the baked potato," and they're doing exactly that. Along with it, they're also serving up one of the best craft-style fountain sodas, Stubborn Soda. Don't hesitate to make a little detour (or order delivery) to try this place. TIP: Located inside the HomeGrown Bowl center: from the main entrance, head down the hall to the right past the arcade; also near a side entrance.

They told us not to order over the phone, only online. OK, fine, but it seems like you shouldn't turn away business just because we used a phone. We got our order placed online instead. My wife received a confirmation email and then an email saying our order was ready for pickup. She arrived at the restaurant, and the lady working said she had never gotten an order and hadn't started on it. So my wife waited for the food to be prepared and finally got it home. The food was good. The mac and cheese potato is really good. The mac and cheese was a star. The shepherd's pie was ok, but a little shy on the meat and needed some more seasoning. At least the portions are large, and you'll likely be able to split an order into two meals unless you're super hungry. The inside of this place is small and located inside the bowling alley building. Nothing special about the ambiance. Takeout is probably the way to go. This place should be 3 stars. However, I am going to cut a little slack and assume it was a one-off experience. So for this review, I am sticking with 4 stars. When I return, I hope the food is up to par, and the service improves. I would love to write a 5-star review for this small local business.
