After eating here the first morning and getting good service, but being disappointed in the potato pancake, because it was convenient to our motel, we ate breakfast the second morning. Service was terrible to non-existent. The "cottage fried potatoes" were neither fried nor consistent. They had black spots and some were cooked (although they were not fried) and some were... more

I decided I was going to eat here for breakfast/brunch after reading the reviews. It turns out it was right near our hotel, so this worked out well. In any case, I had high expectations and was not disappointed. We liked this place so much, that we eat here two days in a row, which is very rare for me.... more

I've been coming here since I was a little girl, and as pretty as the new location is I miss the funky old building. Their potato pancakes were featured in Bon Appetit, and it's the only place to get eggs benedict every morning of the week without having to enter a casino for those vacation am hangovers! This place still... more

I bring family here when they are visiting and make this a regular stop for informal lunch meetings during the work week. They have unique omlets and quality classic fare like... more

Great breakfast and lunch menu. Food and service excellent. Local hot spot. Conveniently located next to the resorts, casinos and ski-lift. more

We noticed a few locals eating there and skiers coming in before hitting the slopes. The staff greeted many of them by their first name which is a good sign... more

We were staying at the neighboring Marriott Timberlodge and found this to be the perfect place for breakfast before hitting the slopes. Great service, great menu, great atmosphere, and great food. This place has a nice small-town homey feel to it. Warm and inviting. We hit it pretty early... more

Best damn breakfast in tahoe! The potatoe pancakes were delicious! I had eggs bene with tomatoe, spinach ham and poached eggs with their cheesy herb hollindase. SOOOO good. And my boyfriend had potatoe pancakes with ham an poached eggs on top, smothered in sausage gravy. I don't usually eat sausage gravy but it was so good...probably the best I have... more

I am very pleased to report that the Driftwood Cafe has moved into a new location. The Driftwood has been a long-time, small, rustic cafe for locals and visitors in South Lake Tahoe/Stateline. I have had breakfast here several times over the past few years while visiting Tahoe. We generally stay at the Grand Residence and were pleasantly surprised to... more
