My omelette was so good and not greasy at all. Potatoes were super crispy, coffee was awesome and bottomless, and my chocolate chip pancake was so fluffy and not overly sweet. Everything was really good. Service was even better than the food. The staff was really welcoming, gave great suggestions on food and refilled our coffees before we knew we needed more. We were visiting for our anniversary and they also were kind enough to give us hiking suggestions.

Last weekend we took a few days as a family going skiing before schools start at Tahoe. On the way back just right after the state line, my daughter found this place on yelp and we turned right in. We're glad we did, we were hungry before a long drive home. The place was small but clean and cozy with full of customers on a cold Tuesday morning. These young servers were quite pleasant and attentive. We got our table right away, that's nice. The menu is full of tasty dishes, it's a little hard for us to choose. Finally we decided. My wife got the beef dip. She loved it, the beef was soft, plenty and the onion rings crispy and flavorful. The dip sauce was just right. My son got the fried chicken steak and he ate all, it must be good with eggs, gravy and sour dough toasts which I had some, so good. My daughter had the meatloaf sandwich which is different, she loved it with crispy tasty fries. I had a chance to taste them all. I wanted breakfast, so huevos rancheros I got. It's huge and delicious with chips. Every bite was so rich with scramble eggs and melted cheese, on these crispy tortilla chips. The prices are so reasonable provided it's in Tahoe, the plates are plentiful, the foods are tasty, and the service is the best. A great way to leave Tahoe. We're actually still full when we get home after 4 hr drive. Amazing.

Amazing place. Delicious food. Long wait to get a table but 100% worth it. Diane, the owner, greets everyone, and treats everyone like family, and makes sure everyone has a good experience. The deluxe eggs benedict was absolutely perfect. 100% will come back here the next time I'm around South Lake Tahoe.

"This was one of the best breakfasts I've had. All the ingredients were local and fresh, and the food was prepared very quickly. The flavor of the spinach and caramelized onions in the Eggs Benedict was truly memorable. The Spanish omelet had a slightly spicy kick that was delightful. After finishing your meal, you feel satisfied and pleased knowing you've enjoyed food with both amazing taste and quality. If I could, I would try everything on the menu. The restaurant's atmosphere is charming and friendly, ensuring you'll have a great time—guaranteed!"

Food and service was top-notch! My partner and I travel the US for work and this has made our top 5 breakfast places. I had the pumpkin and chai pancakes (absolutely amazing!) and my partner got the breakfast burrito. I appreciated that everything was locally sourced and made right there. The staff shared tables instead of one server per table, which seemed to increase the speed of service. Would recommend and will visit again!

Quick and friendly service, the food is spot on no frills and hits home with flavors. The kids Mickey Mouse pancakes are so cute and just the right portion.

We were trying to find a locally owned breakfast spot while visiting South Lake Tahoe. Getaway Cafe was listed on Google with a high rating, so we gave it a try. The weather was very nice so we sat outside. The food was AMAZING! The owner and staff were very attentive, and we were served quickly, and never had an empty coffee cup. We loved it so much that we went for breakfast again!! My husband said they had the best biscuits and gravy that he's had anywhere. Make the short drive if you're in the area. You won't be disappointed.

Anytime I talk about Lake Tahoe and it's food, I mention this place. Going to the Getaway cafe is being treated to a cozy and homey experience. I can see so much effort put into everything. The food is on the next level. Servers are so sweet. The best eggs bennedict I have ever tried. I love eggs bennedict and it is really challenging to make good hollandaise sauce, as it can not be too acidic or too mild. The Getaway Cafe chefs managed to hit that right balance and it was delicious. Diane, you are running a wonderful business. Thank you for being so welcoming. I wish there were more restaurants like this.

I recently dined at Getaway Cafe in Meyers on our way to South Lake Tahoe, and it definitely lived up to the hype I saw on TikTok! I ordered the Veggie Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend went for the Ortega Turkey Melt, which he also enjoyed. The cafe has a great vibe, but we did have to ask for our water twice, which was understandable since they were very busy. We waited about 45 minutes to be seated, but it was worth it! One unique touch I appreciated was the heaters in the bathroom--it gets quite cold due to the snow, so that was a nice comfort. Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit if you're in the area!

A place that comes recommended by locals is a gem worth exploring and this breakfast cafe did not disappoint! Be ready for a wait since there is limited seating inside (no outdoor seating in the winter) but that shows how popular it is too. For 3 on a Tuesday around 11:30 we waited 40ish minutes and they do not take reservations. Our waitress was wonderful and gave us insights on our menu questions. The owner was even walking around helping and giving smiling hellos to everyone. The loaded Bloody Mary was good but pretty peppery; and I got the vegan tacos+egg for a delicious vegetarian meal I got to enjoy a second time of leftovers from the large portion

We were in the area and decided to stop again at The Getaway Cafe. It was OK, but it didn't live up to our earlier experience. Part of it could be the choices that we made, but here are the few things we noticed: - I ordered the Hangover Helper. If you get this, be prepared because it's a ton of chorizo...way more than I anticipated...and it makes the dish a bit greasy. The amount of tomatoes, onions and peppers seemed pretty minor compared to the potatoes and chorizo. - I also got a biscuit. It was OK but definitely had been overworked because it was tough on the bottom and sides. - My wife ordered the Veggie Benedict and asked for the eggs poached medium. The dish came out and the eggs were not even fully cooked so she actually had to send it back to get redone, which they readily did. - The prices seem way higher than last time we were there, but the portion sizes are also huge. - Coffee was added to our bill even though we didn't have any...the server fixed it after I brought it to her attention though. Bottom line: Our memory of this place didn't quite live up to a second visit...oh well!

Chicken fried steak with sausage gravy, eggs, hashbrowns, English muffin and sourdough. All great. The eggs were especially "eggy" yum! The hashbrowns, fried very crispy on both sides and like mashed potatoes inside, probably the best I've ever had. The chicken fried steak, East texas style, is perfectly complimented by the gravy. My second time here and it's better than I remembered. Some meals, you linger over and don't want to end. This was one of those. I'll be back, hopefully sooner than this time!

During a visit to Tahoe this past weekend we woke up early Saturday looking for a breakfast spot. TGC had great reviews so we decided to give it a shot. The cafe itself is pretty small so there was a little wait. We put our name on the list and were able to wait in the car until the called us. Service was exceptional across the board. All the servers were attentive and made sure the entire floor was covered. For my meal I went with the morning after and a small order of bacon maple glazed French toast. Everything was delicious and generously portioned. I would've like a little more sausage in the gravy but other than that I enjoyed everything about my meal. I look forward to a return visit in the future.

The food here was amazing! Not only did it taste good, but the presentation was amazing as well! I ordered their special, the gingerbread pancakes with cream cheese in-between the stack. My wife ordered their breakfast burrito, which was good as well. The service was great as well! As soon as we walked in, we were greeted, seated, and introduced the special. The waiter was enthusiastic, I forgot his name but he was a real nice kid. The ambiance was great as well. Great small area with great views inside.

What a find on the way in to Tahoe on Hwy 50 in Meyers. We came for lunch & all had something different....Loved each dish! Great Bloody Mary too Yummy chili, great Patty Melt, Tasty eggs Benedict & chilaquiles. Nice outside patio. Friendly & attentive service. Get ready to wait if you come during peak weekend hours. This was our favorite meal while visiting .

We had our first annual cousins trip up in Tahoe and wanted a breakfast spot before we all headed home our separate ways, and this place did not disappoint! Family owned business and the owner was so sweet and accommodated all 12 of us. All of our parties needed to be there (which we didn't know) but she was kind enough to hold it for us. The food was delicious, the place was cozy and nice, and everyone seemed to enjoyed their food.

My husband and I went in for a late breakfast Saturday. Awesome service and food! He got the corn beef hash and I got the grilled sandwich with mushrooms, onions, tomato, avocado and jack cheese. Both were delicious! Owner Diane and the waitresses were super friendly and accommodating! The guys working the grill were amazing! We sat at the bar and watched them crank out food quickly and efficiently. 10 outta 10, highly recommend!

My fiance and I came here for the first time a couple of days ago after reading all of the positive reviews here on Yelp. I've listed the pros and cons of our visit down below and I've also included photos of the menu and of our food. Pros: - the food was delicious, fresh, and served quickly - the owner Diane was very welcoming and kind towards all of her customers. she made us feel right at home. - only a short 10 minute wait time during our visit Cons: - the parking lot is small and complicated especially during morning/brunch rush hours. the businesses nextdoor do not allow you to park there so time your visit accordingly. - the cafe itself is tiny and overwhelming when it's busy, the seating options felt very cramped next to one another. if you have anxiety like myself, you'll find yourself feeling very overstimulated. - our waitress "Rose" (according to our bill), left our visit feeling a little awkward. we didn't feel very welcomed by her and the interactions we had felt a little forced. that being said, i doubt it was intentional. maybe we just came at a bad time? she was nice otherwise. she was wearing a beanie, had colored eyes, and light brown hair. Food: - i ordered the veggie benedict ($19.95) it includes: 2 poached eggs on a toasted english muffin with avocado, sauteed tomatoes, onions and spinach; topped with hollandaise. i ordered mine with "home fries" which included potatoes, bell peppers, and onions. i finished my entire plate :) - my fiancé ordered the maple bacon glazed french toast ($24.95). this dish is considered one of their top sellers and understandably so. it includes: thick-sliced sourdough, griddled and topped with their coconut milk-based organic maple glaze, and 4 chopped strips of bacon. my fiance let me try a bite and it was so yummy :) it's very sweet and filling. Service: - as mentioned above, the owner Diane is such a sweetheart. she welcomed us in with a bright smile and open arms, it felt like visiting a family member's house. during our visit we witnessed her connecting with all of her customers, making sure everyone was taken care of. it's clear she cares about her business and her customers. we appreciated her hospitality. - i did not catch the name of the young woman who had what seemed like a southern accent (?), but she was very kind and welcoming towards us when delivering our food to our table. Tips for future guests: - plan to come before or after known rush hours to avoid the stress of finding parking. - keep in mind the size and noise of the cafe, in case you have children or someone that is easily overstimulated. Thank you Diane, we look forward to visiting again the next time we come to Tahoe. Wishing you the best with your business :)

Diane and her staff were absolutely amazing! The small family vibe was exactly what we needed to start our New Year right. We went for the chilaquiles with chorizo and the morning after. Sooooo good! The food came out super fast for how busy they were and the food surpassed all expectations. Will absolutely be coming back!

Wow! We were here about a decade ago and cannot believe it took us this long to return. The owner greeted and sat our party of 9 in such a welcoming manner! She remembered my name and then detailed some local favorites. My pastrami sandwas one of the best I have ever had. My husband's biscuits and gravy were on point. Wonderful outdoor dining as well.

Incredible food at a very reasonable price! The owner sat us down at our table and gave us a lovely breakdown of their menu. Everything here is made from scratch and you can taste the love they put into each and every dish. The chilaquiles were jam packed with flavor, and the banana coconut French toast was made beautifully. A lovely dessert treat.

Simply WOW! Spending a few days in Lake Tahoe and not having breakfast or brunch at this place is truly a waste. The food is incredibly DELICIOUS, with generous portions and perfect cooking temperatures. From Burritos to French toast to Eggs Benedict, my visit was a delightful culinary journey. The service is really good; the place gets busy, but they manage a waiting list efficiently, respecting and calling you when it's your turn. I loved that, very organized and punctual. The ambiance is welcoming; it's a small place, but you feel the warmth in every corner. Without a doubt, every time I visit Lake Tahoe, I'll make a sure stop here. Thanks to the team for all your attentiveness

OH, you have no idea how much I wanted to leave a good review for this place as far as food goes; but, it's not very good. I was so excited for the chilaquiles; unfortunately, they just tasted like dry chili powder that you use to make chili. The eggs, beans, and hot chocolate were good. My husband got the eggs Benedict. He said it tasted like the packaged Knorr sauce you can make at home, so it was fine. The hash browns were very tasty. We also got the special of strawberry crepes with cottage cheese filling. They were a weird texture and the cottage cheese filling was not good. I scraped it to the side; and I really like cottage cheese! We forgot to take a picture of that. The service was top notch, though. Such nice people and so friendly. Great outdoor seating. Really nice little place, but the food was not very good, to us.

This is the first time I've got to return to the Getaway Cafe in Years, like before the pandemic restrictions. I'm staying up here at Tahoe for some down time and I waited till a weekday to come here as it's always super popular and there usually a wait for lunch. We arrived around 11am and there was plenty of parking and we got a nice table outside. Nobody was dining inside on a nice day like this. The employees here are always so polite and friendly, it looks like the like working here. Speaking of the outside, in 4 years a lot has changed. The spotty grass and gravel has been replaced my nice pavers and the outdoor dining has been expanded to the right of the entrance as well. That used to be just a waiting area. The nice commercial shade umbrellas are great and raise easy to provide complete shad coverage. Service is outstanding as I notice there is none of this not my section or table stuff going on with the servers. They all work as a team and anyone will help you out if needed. Diane, the owner has instilled this teamwork mentality in the staff and it works way better than the "not my table" thing. I can tell she's put a lot of thought in how she runs the restaurant, like the closing hour of 2pm is not "get the hell outta here at 2pm we wanna go home!" but it's you get seated till 2pm and get full service and food. This is what all restaurant should do! Also, they don't charge you for every little extra thing you request like a lot of restaurants. Oh, you want more au jus with you sandwich, that's $1.00 extra ..... not here, you can have all the little extras like salad dressing or au jus no charge! Even Onion Rings are not charged extra for! Customers HATE that penny ante charge crap, Diane figures a happy customer is a RETURN customer! Good policies here! The food, OMG, is outstanding. My fave dish here has always been the beef dip sandwich. It's been years since I had it and it's still made the way it was when I first tried it years ago. It's life changing good! Stacked high with grilled beef and fried onion strings and cheese and dipped into the wonderful au jus is like going to food heaven. Yeah, this is a $21 sandwich, but it's so worth it, and you have the Tahoe price factor too, so just be happy you're here at Tahoe! My friend had the Blackened Asian Chicken Salad for around $21 as well. It was wonderful as usual, tho a little more blackened this time than usual. I'm happy I was able to return to Getaway Cafe after all these years and happy it's still the great place it always was. Whenever I stay at Tahoe, I wanna come here at least once.

Greeted by the most wonderful owner to your seat, service with a smile. Food was excellent 10/5 stars. Pastrami was griddled on a sourdough substitute and it was juicy, smoked, and creamy all at the same time. Onion rings with in house ranch were so amazing as well. Biscuits and gravy very tasty, gravy was on par, sausages were well cooked/well done, biscuits were not doughy just right. Ambiance was mountain breakfast cozy. Will be back!!

Great food, great service. Love the outdoor seating. Showed up around 11:30 on a Saturday and it was busy so it was a 20minute wait. The owner seated us as she was also working/waitressing. Very nice lady and she explained everything on the menu. Chorizo omelet was great, but we had to try the maple bacon glazed French toast and it was so good! Really need to try to coconut version next time. One thing I loved is how crispy the home fries are, most places have home fries that are not crispy. Noticed the crowd tapered off after 12 so maybe show up after if you don't want to wait too long. Great place and can't wait to come back.

Stopped here for breakfast before a wedding. The owner sat us and greeted us and was so sweet. She designed all the menu items! The staff was so friendly. The outdoor seating was so nice. They do not have lattes or espresso. The service was so fast. We were in and out in like 40 minutes. The breakfast was really good. The eggs were cooked nicely and the bacon was perfect. This is a great spot to have breakfast.

If you're looking for amazing food, friendly service, and convenient location on your way into (or out of) town this is the place! My hubby and I were getting into town and looking for somewhere to eat before our tee time at Lake Tahoe Golf Course. Getaway Cafe was the first stop of our baby moon and we are big foodies so this really set the tone for our trip. With an hour to kill before our tee time we were crossing our fingers it would be a quick yummy experience and it didn't dissapoint. Diane the owner kindly greeted us right away and moved around the table and umbrellas in the outdoor area to ensure we were comfortable. The ambiance was super cute. She continued to check on me, I'm super pregnant which was thoughtful. I noticed she checked on everyone frequently, especially families with kiddos which is important to us. Family friendly places to eat are truly the best. Sam was our server he was so kind, funny and down to earth and continued to make sure we were taken care of consistently. My hubby ordered a salty dog, he said was great and tasted like fresh grapefruit juice. Onto the star of the show he ordered the special for the day... it should be a permanent menu item because it was truly a 10/10 that's a hard rating to come by for him and me. The chicken pesto vinaigrette sandwich was to die for!! Truly. I ordered the blackened chicken salad wrap with a side of cream of mushroom soup which was their soup of the day. The soup stole the show 9/10 SO good. The wrap was great but I regretted not double ordering the special chicken pesto sandwich. We will be back to explore the rest of the menu on our next visit into South Lake. Enjoy!!

Friendly service. 30 min wait at noon on a Friday in July. Patio seating was perfect to enjoy the beautiful weather. The pups in the patio were a bonus. We ordered the Morning After (1 biscuit with sausage gravy, 2 sausages, scrambled eggs, and hash browns extra crispy) the gravy was delicious, the hash cooked as requested. Also ordered the triple stacked turkey sandwich and their soup of the day was zuppa toscana. The soup was spot on and the sandwich was light and refreshingly delicious with an amazing cranberry mayo spread. If you're in the area it's worth stopping for.

This place is the best breakfast in Tahoe and best Chicken Fried Steak in town. My wife had the Mexican Benedict special and it absolutely rocked. The mushroom Soup is always a personal favorite and didn't disappoint as the soups here are top notch. The Service here has improved dramatically over the years. The only thing I wouldn't recommend is bringing in a party of more than 8 in the winter as it's pretty tight. All else double thumbs up!! Thanks Diane

Yes come here! Food is so delish. Quality and quantity. Absolutely everyone in here was so kind and opening. Each and every one of them gave smiles. And made you feel special. This is a very intimate small space. I don't think there are more then 10 tables and a bar seating area. But when you're here you feel welcomed and cared for. The drinks are so on point. I'm such a fan. Easy yet delish and exciting drink menu. I love how they included to mention "we make em like we serve them at home!" I ordered the coconut crusted banana French toast full order which was $24 and worth it. But if that's to costly for you or to much food you are welcomed to order the half order. My pic is of the full order. It can truly feed a family!

This place was fantastic -Bailey and Heather? Were our attentive and flexible servers , the beautiful owner also checked in with us. Wow. The food was incredible!!! Quick and super delicious. Excellent Bloody Mary ! I am so excited to go back. This place was the best ending to my extended holiday in the mountains... from Park City to Heavenly... ski u l8r, hoping sooner than later!!! Ambience was quaint, super homey... if it's crowded, get your order to go for sure. Don't miss out on this place - order ahead.! Congratulations!!!

Stopped by Getaway Cafe, and while the food was really good, the experience was overshadowed by poor service. The wait time was long, which we didn't mind as much since the food was worth it, but our waitress (blonde with a lot of tattoos) was inattentive. That said, we'd like to give the place another try on our next Tahoe trip because the food was excellent, and hopefully, the service will be better next time.

The chorizo quesadilla was Eggcellent! I already can't wait to come back here. My hubby joked we'll never make it Heavenly before stopping here. LOL. I ordered the Morning After. I will say the gravy was underwhelming; it was rather bland. I'm not sure if the sausage was completely cooked because it had a funky taste. The young lad who hosted us was extremely nice and informative- the one who hosted on 10/11, wore On shoes, under 6 foot. Loved him!

This place is amazing! Great place to start the day with a lot of unique breakfast choices! Dog Friendly too! We will definitely be back on our next Tahoe trip! The food and drinks were amazing. The coconut crusted french toast caught my eye when previously looking at their menu and it didn't disappoint! Large portion too!!! Eggs Benedict was really good. And they had the most unique breakfast drinks like the Boba Mosa (the passion fruit was delicious) and the Manmosa (beer with oj). Both were sooo good!!! Can't wait to go back!!!

I'll just add another 5 star Driving to Tahoe from Sacramento, we thought let's have breakfast on our way. We rolled in 16 deep! Seated within 10 mins. Can't beat the outdoor seating, among the trees and warm sun! There were many other people eating outside. Indoors are small and limited seating. Single bathroom but clean. Service is excellent - staff was not intimidated by our large group and quickly seated us at three different tables and rotated between all the tables, checking on us multiple times to make sure we had what we needed and that we were enjoying our food. Coconut French toast - is light and sweet and shareable Mimosa served with 3 juices is a must! We had many other things but this was some time ago and do not remember the names. It was all delish, no food left behind haha It's memorable and I can't wait to go back.

The service is amazing! The owner is very sweet and all the food is fantastic! I am so glad I stopped by on the way to the slopes!

There's outdoor seating that has a little bit of shade depending on the time you go. Parking is kinda tight. Staff is friendly. We ordered a breakfast burrito, chocolate chip pancakes, ham/ eggs. They also offer lunch.

Amazing food and great waitstaff!! We had the country fried steak, huevos rancheros, and eggs benedict which were all so good! Our only complaint was that we waited around 45 minutes to be seated due to the resort being closed for the day. Of course this was not the restaurant's fault and our food was definitely worth the wait!

Food and service was great! I ordered the chorizo quesadilla - YUM! And it was huge, i could only eat half of it. My BF ordered a burger, which was also delish. A nice add would be to offer gluten free hamburger buns.

Great place to have breakfast with beautiful mountain views. Good quality, locally sourced products. I had the best pancake of a lifetime. A very efficient service crew. Having an online waitlist management system would be a nice upgrade.
