We had a very nice breakfast at Bert's. It's a small diner with locals and tourists. The service is very good and attentive. We had a California frittata with lots of veggies and avocado and a Mexican frittata had chorizo and peppers. Two sides of wheat toast. Everything was really good and service was excellent.

Date: Tuesday, August 13th, 2024 Party of: 2 Meal: Breakfast / Lunch / Brunch Takeaway Time Order Placed: around 12:45pm Time Ready: about 20 mins later *Egg Breakfast: 2 Large Eggs Over Easy, Hash Browns, Wheat Toast, Homemade Corned Beef Hash *8" Pancakes: Short Stack, 2, add Blueberry Compote and Whipped Cream *Side Bacon, 4 *Salad & 1/2 Sandwich: House Salad with Ranch - no croutons, no olives, Turkey Sandwich Since we've been in Tahoe weekly and eating mainly fast food, I wanted something else. And from a place I've never tried before. After doing a yelp search, I decided on Bert's. I called in the takeout order and the hubby went to pick it up. He didn't get an itemized receipt, but total before tip was $52.04. For some reason, I didn't read the salad / soup plus half sando description correctly. I thought I could pick any salad or sandwich. But you only get the basic selections. I originally wanted their broccoli soup, but after I placed our order, they called me back (I guess they have caller ID since I didn't leave my number) and said they were out. I just got the green salad instead since there was no other choice. The salad was good. Kinda small. More like a 1/2 salad. The sandwich was fine, but dry. I liked the sourdough, but it needed more than just the little bit of mayo they put on one side of the sandwich. Luckily, we had yellow mustard at the house. I actually added a piece of bacon from our side as well to make it a little more substantial. The hubs suggested we get the pancakes to share. It ended up being a great idea since they were delish. The berry compote and whipped cream went with them nicely. I didn't try any of his breakfast, but he seemed to enjoy everything. A good spot to grab brunch. Definitely recommend their pancakes and compotes since they are all made in house. REVIEW #3527

Food was delicious. The servers work super hard. They handle it all. Hosting, serving and cleaning. Very friendly staff. Great service and great food. Loved the ambiance. Very old school. Enjoyed having breakfast there. Will be back for sure.

92-year old Dad wanted ham & eggs for breakfast. A quick Yelp search and we ended up at Bert's. Based on Yelp reviews we knew it would be a long wait, but it was about 15-20 minutes sitting outside. The large menu includes everything from eggs to burgers to sandwiches to salads. Inside looks just like a classic homey mountain diner that has been unchanged for decades. For sure this is a place the locals frequent, and it's definitely not a tourist trap like you'll find closer to Stateline. Every single staff person was exceptionally nice, from the hostess seating us to the manager checking up on us. The waitresses were young and cheerful, and our coffee cups were topped off more times than I can remember. The food is standard breakfast fare and filling. Our eggs were made to order, bacon crispy, French toast perfect, and the freshly made corned beef had very tasty. Reviews are on the money. Bert's Café is the place to go. We are going to be regulars whenever we come to South Lake Tahoe.

If you find yourself in Lake Tahoe, Bert's Cafe is a must-visit! The portions here are impressively generous--just watching dishes being served will make you feel full. Despite being in a tourist hotspot, the prices are refreshingly reasonable. The cafe serves handmade ranch, freshly squeezed orange juice, and exceptional, speedy service Ambiance is great too

This will definitely be my new go-to spot for breakfast in Tahoe. Everything tried was amazing. Service was friendly and fast. I especially enjoyed the chicken fried bone-in pork chop. The chicken fried steak was amazing, too. It was not a cube steak, but rather a thin cut of an actual steak. Definitely a notch otlr two above your average griddle breakfast joint.
