    a cup of coffee
    Barbara A.

    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!

    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!!

    The Usual with ROSTI

    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.

    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

    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.

Our server, sorry forgot your name, was helpful and able to answer our questions, we decided on a few items and our party of six shared them. We ordered two pizzas (pepperoni and a capitol combo), we got the pretzel, caesar salad, BBQ brewmaster plate and a few beers. First off the pizzas are delicious and easy choice for anyone who comes here, it will not miss. The bbq platter was also very good, the portions are not huge but each sausage was tasty. The pig wings were tender and flavorful with the hot honey sauce. The pretzel was also great and paired with the stone ground mustard from the bbq plate was excellent. The only item that I think I would change would be the Memphis wings, they were on the salty side for all of us, the flavor is there but a lil too salty, I think the hot honey sauce would have been a hit on those wings. We tried a few beers the lager, Juicy IPA and an amber ale. I skipped the lager, my dad enjoyed his brew. As for the other two, I found them to be refreshing with a nice balance of hops for each of them and a great companion to the dishes we ordered. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely stop by.

The restaurant is packed with…read moreold-time Americana and vintage artifacts, giving you something interesting to look at everywhere you turn. They also have an incredible beer selection with well over 100 beers on the menu, so there's something for everyone. A word of advice make reservations if you can. The wait was nearly an hour and it's easy to see why. We started with the fry bread and the jalapeño bombs. The fry bread was delicious, but those jalapeño bombs were an absolute 10/10 and a must-order. We originally came for the prime rib, but unfortunately they had already sold out around 6 p.m., which was definitely disappointing. Thankfully, the food that did make it to our table erased that disappointment pretty quickly. We ordered the two-meat BBQ plate with ribs and brisket, and both were cooked to perfection. The meat was tender, smoky, and paired perfectly with their delicious BBQ sauce. We also tried the spicy pot pie, which was unlike any pot pie I've had before, in a good way. It reminded me of an enchilada baked inside a buttery, flaky crust, and it was fantastic. The service was equally impressive. I feel terrible that I can't remember our server's name because he absolutely deserves the recognition. He was friendly, attentive, and made our entire experience even better. Between the amazing food, outstanding service, and unique atmosphere, this ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. In fact, it's probably the biggest reason I'd make the drive back to Carson City.

    Food Unfortunately,…read morethe food was very disappointing. The ribs tasted stale and almost jerky-like, as if they had been sitting out too long or reheated multiple times. The basket of wings was cold in the middle and tasted as though they had simply been microwaved. They also tasted old and lacked freshness. The Jump Up and Kiss Me Chicken was overcooked and extremely dry. The flavor was just okay, but there was nothing particularly special about the dish. Service The service was very poor. Our waitress repeatedly rolled her eyes and barely checked on us to see if everything was okay. I had to repeatedly get up myself to ask for condiments, refreshments, and napkins. Management I was also disappointed with how the manager handled my concerns. After I explained our experience, her response was essentially, "Okay, I'll pass along your comments." She did not seem concerned or interested in making the situation better. Unfortunately, I understood why the service was so poor after speaking with the manager. A manager should set the standard for customer service, and in this case, I did not feel that there was much care or concern for the customers. I used to love going to Reds when they had the previous manager. He was always kind, attentive, and genuinely cared about the customers. The food was also delicious and tasted fresh. It's disappointing to see how much the experience has changed. I really hope management takes this feedback seriously because Reds used to be a place I genuinely enjoyed visiting.
