Since we've been in Tahoe weekly and eating mainly fast food, I wanted something else. And from a place I've never tried before. After doing a yelp search, I decided on Bert's. I called in the takeout order and the hubby went to pick it up. He didn't get an itemized receipt, but total before tip was $52.04.
For some reason, I didn't read the salad / soup plus half sando description correctly. I thought I could pick any salad or sandwich. But you only get the basic selections. I originally wanted their broccoli soup, but after I placed our order, they called me back (I guess they have caller ID since I didn't leave my number) and said they were out. I just got the green salad instead since there was no other choice.
The salad was good. Kinda small. More like a 1/2 salad. The sandwich was fine, but dry. I liked the sourdough, but it needed more than just the little bit of mayo they put on one side of the sandwich. Luckily, we had yellow mustard at the house. I actually added a piece of bacon from our side as well to make it a little more substantial.
The hubs suggested we get the pancakes to share. It ended up being a great idea since they were delish. The berry compote and whipped cream went with them nicely. I didn't try any of his breakfast, but he seemed to enjoy everything.
A good spot to grab brunch. Definitely recommend their pancakes and compotes since they are all made in house.
