Reviews for Driftwood Cafe in South Lake Tahoe, CA

The food was amazing, the service was phenomenal, and the ambiance was cozy! Every single item that my party ordered was... absolutely delicious! The omelettes, the eggs, and the chicken fried steak were all yummy! I got the black chili chickenomelette and I loved it! Or waitress was super friendly and made us all feel so comfortable and relaxed as we ate, she was adarling. The interior of the restaurant was very cozy like the interior of a cabin. Can't wait to come back the next time myparty comes skiing! Read more

Great breakfast, you will not leave hungry! Food (4/5): Well made American breakfast, quite large portions, so be hungry when... you arrive :) Service (5/5): Super service minded woman that took care of us, gave good recommendations and came by to check upon us.

We absolutely loved this place. One of the very few places open early in the main little tourist area and to my knowledge the... only one serving meals....no wait when we went in @ 0730ish. But when we left there was a line to get in. I had the dailyspecial a chorizo burrito and it was great. HUGE but great. Very affordable and the service was too notch from the moment wewalked in. Deb our waitress was AWESOME the place is lucky to have such a special young lady working for them!!! Read more

Came in on a Saturday morning around 11 am and there was about a 45 minute wait, which we expected. The weather was beautiful so... we ordered a carafe of mimosas and sat outside in their patio area while we waited. The food was decently priced and well worththe wait. The portions were huge. Their bloody marys were delicious also. Will definitely stop in again when in Tahoe. Read more

We went there for brunch. There were 5 of us. We got there at around 9:15am on a Tuesday (7/19) and had to wait about 30... minutes for a table. They take your phone number and text you when your table is ready. Food was delicious. Service wasgreat. Portions are sizable. Recommend going there hungry so you can eat! Would totally come back again. Read more

A nice breakfast place to stop by while you?re in Lake Tahoe. It can get crowded in the morning but we got seated very quickly.... There is no reservation required. First come first serve and I do like that a lot. Our dishes were cooked perfectly too. Highlyrecommend the Meat lover?s omelette with added spinach. And definitely try their potato pancake for a side order! Read more
