There are actually two Red Huts in South Lake Tahoe. The newer building is right in the middle of town, while the older Red Hut is just West of the newer building.
Each restaurant has great diner breakfasts and lunches, shakes, burgers and sandwiches. However, most locals go to the original Red Hut Cafe for their popular waffles like the Pecan or Coconut Waffle, omelets (like the Western Omelet with Ham, Cheese, Onion, and Bell Peppers), their short stacks, fresh eggs, hash browns and hot oatmeal with brown sugar.
Both Red Huts serve up hot coffee and hot chocolate and the newer Red Hut has a soda fountain.

- Breakfast/Brunch, Group Friendly, Family Friendly, Homestyle: "Go to the original Red Hut to hang with the locals and to the new Red Hut in SLT for a larger menu and more space."
- Best for Breakfast/Brunch Because: The Red Hut Cafe (in various locations around the area) has a large breakfast and brunch menu.
- Best for Group Friendly Because: The newer Red Hut in South Lake Tahoe has a large dining room for groups.
- Best for Family Friendly Because: The retro decor and soda shop at the new Red Hut will be a hit with the kids and teens.
- Best for Homestyle Because: The pancakes at the Red Hut are huge and served with several types of syrup.
