    "A great little local restaurant with friendly service and a cozy atmosphere. There was a short wait for our party of 2 before we were able to get counter seats for breakfast. Reasonable prices for the area and amount of food served. Appreciated how many menu items were made from scratch"

    "Bert's is a staple in South Lake Tahoe, if you are looking for a great feed and a real genuine diner experience then you have to go to Bert's! The pancakes are awesome and their hashbrown is excellent. The wait can be a little long during peak hours but worth the wait. They also sell the Bert's mugs for $10 worth it!"

    "Amazing Crepes Benedict! Was looking around for diner/breakfast options in Tahoe and was told to go Bert's by online forums and so glad I listened. Got lucky and got the last booth before they got busy at around 9am. Might be the best place for a hot cocoa because they got sprinkle on top of the whipped cream! I got the Crepes Benedict because I'm crazy for crepes and it was perfect. My friends got the other breakfast options and they were also praising how delicious the food was. We devoured our food and forgot to take photos except for the hot cocoa haha. The service was friendly and attentive, we felt very welcomed. Will be back again the next time I'm in Tahoe!"
