My girlfriend and I went to Heidi's after seeing an ad proclaiming "Best Breakfast in Tahoe". So hopes were high. I usually judge breakfast places on how well they can cook my favorite dish: eggs over-medium. Not a hard one to screw up. Right between over-easy and over-hard. We got our food very quickly and right away I can see... more

We've been going to Heidi's for years and it's always been great. For me, the difference is in the servers. There are not many places where you find the same waitresses there year after year. On a Saturday or Sunday in August you know that there will be a line to get in. But we think it's worth the wait.... more

After sitting in the waiting area for 15 mins you kinda notice the dirt on the walls & lose your appetitte Good service lousy food, typical tourist trap, get em in get em out & hit em up $15 a pop for breakfast. I don't mind paying that if it's decent. The food quality was a toss up between international... more

I'm not sure exactly what we did to cause your displeasure but I am truly sorry that I did not have the opportunity to address it immediately. Of course we have daily cleaning check sheets and strive to maintain our facility to the highest standards. While we serve both tourists and locals, the local residents are the people who voted...

We decided to try Heidi's after seeing the reviews here. Unless you want to spend 3 times what you would at IHOP, go somewhere else. The coffee tasted burned and cheap, I should know, I drink the stuff and have bought coffees from all over the world. The waitress tried to tell me the crepes with blueberry topping was a... more

Just wanted to bring a couple of facts to this review. Regarding our prices now and when you were in the restaurant ... Coffee is 2.35 , an order of 3 Blueberry Crepes is 8.75. Our coffee is locally roasted by Alpen Sierra Roasters and we brew for our guest just 3 or 4 days after the roast , ideal...

My husband and I had late lunch at Heidi's on a Sunday afternoon the last weekend in June. The food and service was fine and we would have left happily. Unfortunately, when my husband went to the cashier to pay by credit card, the young man asked to see I.D. My husband was surprised by that request but did show... more

First of all, I'm glad that you had a good meal with good service and "would have left happily" had it not been for having to present a photo I.D.. Please let me address your concerns. We confirm all credit/debit cards with a photo or signature. This is much more for our guest's security, and a dozen times each day...

In the 3 mornings we spent in the Tahoe area Memorial Day weekend, Heidi's was the best breakfast.....however like another review said "Tahoe is not known for its cuisine!" We got there in perfect timing as there were a few couples ahead of us but within minutes the line was out the door. I will say that they did seat... more

I was disappointed with the quality of the food at Heidi's. The decor is very nice and the prices are fair but the food seemed to be lacking something, especially the home fries. more
