The Red Hut. A Taste of Tahoe nostalgia.

It’s a South Shore landmark.
The Red Hut Cafe.
It’s easy to see why this is a favorite local spot.
The Red Hut Cafe was opened in 1959 and was originally called the old Donut Shop located at State line before it was moved to its current location. When Dick and Nancy Gardner purchased The Hut from Mac and Lorraine in 1984, they made sure the original layout and charm remained untouched.
An L-shaped breakfast counter and old fashioned booths occupy all the space inside. Vintage Tahoe photos and soda posters cover the walls.
Inside you’ll hear people reminiscing about the good old days, or just catching up. If you don’t want to be seen, pass on by.
Besides the nostalgic atmosphere and local vibe, the breakfast and lunch dishes are well loved with no surprises. Just good home cooking.
