This is a great mom and pop diner style restaurant. I can only comment on breakfast as that's all I had, but it was delicious and reasonably priced. What more is there to say? Parking was easy, and the location was a short drive from Stateline which is where most of the action is as far as shops and casinos... more

Visited Red Hut this past weekend. We had a little bit of a wait but figured based on the reviews, it would be worth it. The food was good, orange juice tasted fresh, and had good portions. The place is tiny and does feel a bit crowded while in there so if you're a large party, probably would not recommend.... more

This place is a great stop for a simple and delicious breakfast. The portions are huge and the value is well worth it. There is a very warm feeling inside that reminds you of a mountain home. The wait staff take the time to smile and ask how your morning is going as they take your order. This place reminds... more

Some places get "done in" with great reviews. The Red Hut Cafe is one of those. Through the years, this has been THE place to go to for breakfast. Interior is cramped but the waiting room in the back towards the 1 bathroom is filled with an old-style refrigerator and oven/range. Food is pretty good and comes piping hot. Watch... more

Had breakfast with a couple of friends at the Red Hut Cafe and everything was quite good. It's a very unassuming little place, but the food and ambiance is well above average. Only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is because while the food was above average, there wasn't anything about the restaurant that made it "excellent". more

Every trip to Tahoe should include a trip to the Red Hut Cafe, in either Lake Tahoe, or in Stateline. They have amazing breakfasts, and you'll be very happy if you order their strawberry waffle......very homey, and sometimes crowded with a wait, but well worth it! (in fact, the only drawback is that they only accept cash.) more

We stopped here for a quick bite to eat before heading home this past Sat. It is a great little mom n pop type diner with very good food. I had the banana pancakes with maple syrup which were really good. There are many different breakfast items to choose from, my husband had the omelette which he said was great... more

Just got back from Tahoe .. skiing was questionable at best .. so this gave us ample time for breakfast and a lunch at the Red Hut. Omelets (4 egg), biscuits and gravy, pancakes were just great!! Staff wonderful. It's small, so you might have to wait a bit for a seat but it's certainly worth it! Fair prices too! more
