The Getaway Cafe

A not so hidden gem off HW50 on your way into SLT from the valley. Most amazing French Toast (Maple Bacon) I have ever experienced. Friendly staff. Inside and outside seating-we enjoyed the morning outdoors with the 7am sun.

Very close to 5 stars for my visit here. Count on there always being a wait because it is a popular place. It’s definitely worth it if you have the time! We waited 20 minutes the first day (we tried to go back another day but the wait was 35 minutes and we were too hungry and on a time crunch). The service is 5 stars. Everyone is very friendly and attentive. The food is really good! I asked for jalapeños on my dish and they were pickled not fresh therefore I didn’t eat any of them. Not for sure if they have fresh ones or not the guy who picked my plate up said, “Oh, you like fresh ones? ” but didn’t say anything about them having fresh ones so I assumed they didn’t. Definitely worth checking out!

Love this little hometown place. If you are a foodie, this is a great place to come to. I had the parmesan encrusted avocado toast. It was amazing. Love the option of sitting indoors or outdoors.

This place is ridiculously delicious! Local, fresh food with a fantastic staff. Highly recommend this gem!

Excellent! I had the deluxe eggs benedict. The homemade chorizo is the. They also have really good soups. A bunch of people were drinking bloody marys and varmosas. You should head that way right now! Andale!

This place is special. The owner is amazing, kind and sources locally. Everything is made from scratch. The servers are attentive and fast. And the food, man the food. I will be coming back here and would recommend to anyone looking for a hearty breakfast.

What a great breakfast spot. TOTALY enjoyed the biscuits and gravy! I ordered the hash and eggs but the winner was my buddies biscuits and gravy.everyone else enjoyed their food definitely will be back.

The Getaway Cafe is a must go to! The owner and servers are incredibly nice and helpful. The food is outstanding and the new specials each day are fantastic. Best breakfast spot in Tahoe! We were even able to order coffee and mimosas while we waited for our table. This place is everything that is great about Tahoe and everyone needs to grab a bite to eat here! The maple glazed french toast and the deluxe eggs benedict are my favorite.

We stopped on our way to Tahoe on a whim and what a pleasant surprise when we found this gem. A little restaurant on the side of the road with great atmosphere, amazing food and the most unbelievable service I have ever received in a restaurant. We had to come back the next day and they are very pet friendly. The omelettes, French Toast and Chilaquiles were out of this world. Mimosas were tasty but once I tried their pancakes with banana and walnut I could simply find my way back to this place simply to eat here. If you find yourself going towards Tahoe do yourself a favor and stop here.

Was asked to wait for 45 min to get a table. Went across the street to Freel Perk and got a table right away.

My favorite breakfast place! I love the chorizo eggs Benedict, which is off the menu. Their daily soups are so good and creamy and you can even get them as a side to your bennies. On weekends they have spectacular pancake specials. Everyone who works here is super friendly. There is usually a wait but it’s worth it.

We were surprised that we had missed this place during all these years visiting South Lake Tahoe. We visited during the 4th July long weekend and the weather was perfect for outdoor seating. The menu is creative and very tasty. The service was amazing. We will surely go to this place every time we visit South Lake Tahoe.

Wonderful! Has to be the best breakfast in Tahoe. Owner went to every table to either say hello again or introduce herself and how everything is homemade which it clearly was. Maple bacon French toast was incredible as was the chicken fried steak and biscuits and gravy. The kids loved the kids Mickey Mouse pancakes! Mimosa is huge and hot chocolate was made with real chocolate.

Been coming here for years. Always so friendly and great food. Way better than anything near the tourist area.

This is best cafe in Tahoe and with the best review I have ever done for any restaurant or cafe.

Seated us outside in constant cloud of pollen getting in the water and on the food. Took 30 minutes to get food and when my chucken sandwich came out it was lukewarm and dry as the Sahara desert. Clearly sat in the window way too long.

Friendly, welcoming service. Food is great! First time and will be returning for sure! They have coffee and water station while waiting to be seated.

I do not get the buzz. The surrounding mountains were beautiful. Very long time to be seated. The food was really not impressive. I got three different items, and the biscuits and gravy were decent. My oatmeal and omelet made me gag with each bite - both were cold and tasted of cardboard.

The owner seemed overwhelmed by the number of customers she had, and while the adjacent mountain landscape was gorgeous, the atmosphere consisted of a broken down home and uncomfortable metal chairs.

Very busy due to its awesome location. The staff was very pleasant and the food was delicious.
