I am not sure what happened to this place….not consistent at all. Last Monday I had an amazing Ruben and my lunch mate had fluffy French toast. Today the French toast was soggy. It had been about 4 years since I was a regular….back when they had Machaca. It’s is not as good as it used to be…..That’s the truth.

I recently had a truly disappointing experience at Woodett's for breakfast, and I feel compelled to share itI was excited to try this place, especially because I had heard they serve country potatoes, which I was craving.

Upon arriving, the wait time and prices seemed reasonable, so I thought I was in for a pleasant meal. However, my enthusiasm quickly faded once my waitress arrived. To put it bluntly, she was the worst server I have ever encountered. When I ordered my meal specifically for the country potatoes, she brought out hash browns instead. When I informed her that it was my first time there and I didn’t know they were out of country potatoes, she responded by yelling at me as if it was my fault.

What’s worse, she insisted on charging me extra to change my side, despite my clear dislike for hash browns. Her frustration with me was palpable, and it made the whole experience incredibly uncomfortable. It felt like I was being punished for simply not knowing the menu well enough.

To add insult to injury, she didn’t write down my order. I also placed a to-go order, which she completely forgot about. After we finished our meal and waited 40 minutes, I finally asked for my to-go order. When I requested a refund, her response was argumentative rather than apologetic. A kind gentleman working there even expressed surprise that I had put in a to-go order with my breakfast, indicating that this was not a one-off mistake.

Overall, my experience at Woodett's was horrendous. I’d recommend anyone drive to Lake Tahoe, for a great service and fantastic breakfast spots that are worth the wait, and the drive, this place simply does not compare. Save yourself the trouble and try one of the many great options nearby instead.

It was my first time trying out Woodett’s after living in the valley for a couple years…I wish I tried it sooner! I had the summer salad and the tomato chicken and they were worth every penny! The chicken was delicious, tasted very home-y. The ambiance was good and the service was excellent, barely any wait! Kudos to the chef for high quality everything! Will definitely come back for more.

I got a club sandwich and it was very good. Not impressive, but it definitely wasn't bad. my fries came and they were a little over well done and not salted at all, which wasn't really a problem since there's salt at the table. I loved that they were homemade fries, you can tell because they weren't very crispy and more soggy. Our waitress was super friendly and checked on us enough. She had dark hair and was small, that's all I could remember of her. But my moms food didn't come with toast, so she went to make some and at the same time another lady got her toast, so we were just left with two pieces of toast. Service overall was the best. The atmosphere feels like a malt shop in the 60s, just more modern and no checkers. The pictures on the wall and other decorations make the place very cozy and soft. It has nice light colors. What I don't like is how outside it looks like the place is closed, if they put up signs that light up more people might want to come in. Overall, this place is good and I would recommend.

Fantastic food at a decent price. You won't leave disappointed. We just stumbled upon this place and happy we did. Staff is awesome and our waitress " Tina " was on point with quick service and very polite. We had the " No Brainer and a Ham n Cheese omelet. Woodett's has an old time Cafe feel to it. We will definitely be back .

My workplace decided to all order breakfast for takeout. When I called to place my order the Hispanic Lady kept getting my order wrong, never asked my name and then hung up on me. We figured the order was not placed. So my coworker ordered it again with everyone else’s. He gets there and the lady I spoke with in the phone forced him to pay for both. I ended up spending $40 on two croissants, 4 eggs, 4 pieces of sausage, two coffees and what should have been two orange juices (but I only got 1). This was absolutely not worth $40. I will never go to this restaurant again. Train your workers to have better customer service and phone skills!!!
