Bert's has been a fixture in the Tahoe area for over many years. The food and the service are excellent. We recently went here on a weekday for breakfast and it was outstanding. The pancakes were hot fluffy and delicious, I ordered chilaquiles con huevos and they were awesome. Even though they were busy they served us quickly and the service and food was fantastic. I would highly recommend Bert's if you're in the Tahoe area.

I wanted some breakfast before heading back to Bay Area so here we are. Place was cozy and warm since it was cold and snowing. We did waited for a little bit and I regret not ordering the famous Hot Chocolate. Instead I keep thinking about Mimosa sadly they don't serve it. Bummer. Food was okay typical breakfast. I asked for an omelette but I guess at that time not sure what happened omelette didn't happen. I didn't order a hash brown ended up having one. Lol Every server moved so quick I couldn't keep up. My orders were all wrong since they move so quick I guess slow down writing down the orders. LOL I was full so thank you.

We went for brunch during a massive snow storm, and Bert's was a fantastic experience. The staff were all so nice and attentive, the food was delicious and large portions. The OJ was fresh. I really enjoyed the Crepe Benedict & others in our group had the Cowgirl - which was a ton of food! Would definitely go back.

I got the chicken fried steak. The gravy was probably top 5 I've ever had but the steak was way too tough. Everything else was delicious.

Always excellent, Eggs Benedict, is awesome!! If you feel like a bigger breakfast, the country combo is the way to go. My favorite is 3 strips of Bacon, 2 eggs over easy, and homemade biscuits and gravey.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.

Food is always great. Staff is always friendly. But I was disappointed at our wait time. 20+ min on a Thursday morning was crazy.

We had never been to Bert's but had been disappointed at a different cafe that we used to really enjoy. I read reviews about Bert's and we are so glad we found this cozy little cafe. What a gem! The food was really delicious! The service was friendly. My wife and I will definitely come back when we are in town. We found our new favorite breakfast spot.
