Customer Reviews
Maybe it was because I was really hungry. Maybe it was because I read that they made their Hollandaise from scratch on the front of the menu. I don't know. But, this was one of my favorite breakfasts in a WHILE. There was a wait, but the process was efficient (plus, when there is a wait, then you know you are in the right place). We got counter seats. I had iced tea to drink, and my wife, who never orders many juices, had an orange juice, and it was DELICIOUS and PULP-Y. I didn't catch the name of our server, but it was one of those team service places, and their team was stellar. Someone was always there when we needed them, and everything came out perfectly. The wife got the huevos rancheros, and she loved it, although the large size of the portion means she only made a dent in
Great little homey place. Food was delicious! Drinks too. Kids had a milkshake and hot chocolate and both had lots of whipped cream which kids loved! Customer service was very good as well. The wait was very long, approx. 50 minutes, but it was worth the wait! We got this place reccomended to us by a local and we had to try, did not disappoint for sure.
Great interior for a classic diner. Service was a bit inattentive, but it was busy on a Saturday around brunch. Okay cheese blintz order. The blueberry compote wasn't the best, probably just the frozen fruit wasn't high quality. Best way to go was order sides: hashbrown, two eggs and hollandaise sause for $10 total is a deal. The homemade hollandaise is probably good when it's fresh, but the reheat in a little dish caused mine to split and become oily and curdled rather than creamy. Bad luck for me. GREAT hashbrown. I'd come back and get country gravy on top instead. Nice people.
Stopped by here while traveling by foot/bus. Had some luggage and they let me store it in a side room while I ate. The food was amazing and portions were huge!!! I ordered the Ranchero Burrito and biscuits and gravy and both were delicious. Orange juice is nice and pulpy!
Bert's is a staple in South Lake Tahoe, if you are looking for a great feed and a real genuine diner experience then you have to go to Bert's! The pancakes are awesome and their hashbrown is excellent. The wait can be a little long during peak hours but worth the wait. They also sell the Bert's mugs for $10 worth it!
