After reading the good reviews, we paid a visit. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I had the chicken breast, scrambled eggs and has brown. The eggs and the hash brown were good, but the chicken was way over cooked...dry as a beef jerky (or chicken jerky, shall I say???). My wife had the french toast, and they were... More

I went here for the Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs. The chicken fried steak was homemade and really good, but the cream gravy was excellent. One of the better chicken fried steaks I have had. You can't go wrong here if you are in the south Tahoe area for breakfast. More

You really can't go wrong food wise choosing Ernie's for breakfast, the service is friendly and fast, portions generous , and the food is consistent and very good, the only downside for me is pretty much everything on the menu is $10, add $2.50 for coffee or a soda, tax and tip and your looking at over $30 for a...

Went to this place by accident, and it was a pleasant accident. We were greeted by the owner, who is NOT named Ernie, and were immediately seated. The wait staff was great, taking our order immediately, coffee came right away -- the service couldn't have been better for a breakfast/lunch place. The food was pretty good too. I know if... More

Granted, you have to drive out near K Mart in South Lake Tahoe to have breakfast at Ernie's but trust me, it is the best in town. You have never had biscuits and gravy like is served at Ernie's. Take a ruler in with you to measure the height of the biscuits-you won't believe how tall they are! Then there... More

I make it a point to go to Ernie's at least once for breakfast every time that I am at Lake Tahoe. The cafe has a wide selection of great breakfast items - some of my favorites are french toast, waffles, and omelettes. Very good food, great service, reasonable prices, easy to find. Some busy times of year you might... More

Classic breakfast the way it's supposed to be done! Create your own omelette or scram, or order from the extensive menu. Food always arrives fresh and hot; the home fries are especially good. We've been going to Ernie's for years and have never been disappointed by the hearty food or the friendly service. More

Six of us ate here at 10:30am it wasn't busy. We were seated promptly and went downhill after that. It felt like we were in the Neutral Zone. Wait staff all around us but no one to wait on us. Finally after 10+ minutes we finally saw our server. He was polite etc. It also took that long to get... More

This place was recommended to us by a local...it's a locals joint! It was so good that we went back for a 2nd time before we hit the road to head to San Francisco. Breakfast is fresh and delicious and they really do have great coffee. It's been around a while which you can tell, but that makes it all... More
