“Okay, so if you have 6 kids and they love sushi. Then come to Harumi. We got two sushi boat b’s and that filled the boys up. The girls got chicken ramen and loved it. They also tried the sushi and liked it. As the old guys in the photo we loved the service and quality. Not the cheapest but a great value. Highly recommended.

Comments from our children:

“The Red Hut Café is a true local favorite in South Lake Tahoe, and it’s easy to see why. From the moment you walk in, you get that classic, comfortable diner atmosphere that feels both welcoming and familiar. It’s the kind of place where locals gather regularly and visitors quickly feel like regulars.

Breakfast is clearly the highlight. The portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and everything arrives hot and well prepared. Whether you’re ordering pancakes, eggs, hash browns, or one of their hearty breakfast plates, the consistency is impressive. It’s straightforward comfort food done right, without unnecessary flair but with plenty of flavor. If you’re spending time in Tahoe and want a reliable, satisfying breakfast before heading out for the day, this is a strong choice.

Their ice cream also deserves special mention. After a long day on the lake or the slopes, it’s hard to beat stopping in for a scoop (or two). The quality and flavor selection make it a standout treat in the area.

Overall, The Red Hut Café combines great food, solid portions, and a welcoming vibe. For breakfast and ice cream, it’s tough to top within a hundred miles.”

“We had a small wedding reception here on August 19. We started in the garden until rain moved in and MacDuffs quickly moved us inside and upstairs. The food and service were excellent. Our waitress was awesome and working with MacDuffs beforehand was great too. We were a party of 18 from Michigan and everyone was very complimentary! Highly recommend!!’”

“I ate there and the burger and onion rings I had were awesome!”

“6 of us had a superb meal. The server was attentive, but forgot to mention the rolls had powdered garlic after I had told him I had a intolerance of Powdered and dried garlic.. I ordered the Lobster ravioli, which was an appetizer, for my dinner and a dinner sized portion was served. It was delicious and I devoured the whole dinner. Will come again when we are in the are.”

“The oldest bar in the West. Fun old bar (full bar) with tons of history and memorabilia on the walls. 5 minutes off 395. A small little town Genoa with a couple of stores across street and the Pink House to eat at. Go have a drink, worth the visit”

“Delicious bagels and coffee. Line was long but didn’t take long to move and worth the small wait”

“Family run and fantastic food - after a day on the slopes the burrito was the best- it was huge!! Honestly I almost finished it but not quite. Fresh ingredients for sure. This is not your fancy date night spot- but definitely a great value for the money and I would go again while I’m South Lake Tahoe. We talked to the owner and he was super nice- just the kind of business we love to support!”

“Omg, cutest place! Would have never known from the outside. Gluten free muffins. My whole family loved everything!!! Super cute fourth of July things for sale.”
