I have wanted to eat at this place since I was a little girl. The vintage architecture was fascinating to me. Upon arrival, we were sat right next to the cashier (even though the restaurant was half empty). We overheard the staff's private conversations (they were loud about it). We were hoping for really good breakfast, but the food was... More

After an early start from San Francisco we arrived at Heidi's a bit sceptical of the hokey name and look of the place! There restaurant was clean & large. The great surprise was the food. I had a wonderful fluffy omelette! The kids had fabulous pancakes and a bit. Their Dad daringly had a burger which was delicious. We all... More

We stopped for breakfast our first morning in Tahoe and returned the next as well. Coffee was excellent, service was great (never had to ask for refills even for the hot tea drinker!), and the pancakes were light, tender and perfect - especially with the boysenberry syrup. Omelets are huge, and the selections are enough to make a decision nearly... More

Do not go to Heidi's! Their food was not "great." I had bisquits and gravy, and the gravy was horrible! Red Hut Cafe has better tasting food and better prices!!!

We've been at Heidi's a few times and every time there are tons of people. The breakfast is absolutely great and meets any expectations. Thanks for my favorite (Eggs Benedict) always great!

It was quite busy when we were there, so this might explain our experience. My fiancé received his breakfast 5-10mins before mine, no big deal but my 6 stack pancake arrived, with 5 pancakes. They served up the 6th pancake, which was white and verging on being slightly uncooked, on a separate plate. When the coffee was poured the waitress... More

I ordered the special house omelet with Monterey Jack cheese, bacon and avocado and thought it tasted ok it was barely warm and the cheese on top wasn't melted. The hash brown potatoes were also not hot and burned as well. My husband had the crepes with apple compote which looked like they opened a can of pie filling and... More

There is a great selection of food, and they have service down to a science without seeming rude or pushy. If there is a big crowd waiting, it won't be long. Be patient, because it's worth it!

Had brunch here as we were heading back home. Portions enormous. Staff friendly. Could have used a little more table wipe down what with all the syrup. Not cheap though. Cost as much as dinner the night before.
