First time here for breakfast, and it was just what we were hoping for. We had the pastrami sandwich and the eggs with black beans, lettuce, salsa, and avocado—simple, satisfying, and exactly what you’d expect for a spot like this.
The place has a classic diner vibe with a nice outdoor patio. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better.

We went here for breakfast and ordered the pancakes, French toast, and huevos rancheros – all three were excellent. The syrup they served was especially amazing – so good that we even told them how much we loved it, and they kindly gave us a small jar of it to take home. The staff was friendly and welcoming.

The only downside was that the tables weren’t very clean, and the menu they gave us was very old and dirty – we really didn’t expect that, and honestly, it gave us a bad first impression.

Still, the food was so good that we’ll definitely be coming back.

This was our second time coming to Fire Sign for breakfast this week — that’s how much we loved it!
Once again, everything was fantastic: the food was delicious, the service was warm and friendly, and the whole experience was just great.
Highly recommend!

Came on a weekend for lunch, was about a 30min wait. You can kill time across the road at a little supermarket or enjoy some waterfront views by the William Kent beach.

We ordered their specials – pulled pork sandwich and cowboy benedict (eggs bene on southern biscuits), gravy and biscuits, fire sign crepes. I loved the specials, the pulled pork plus apple slaw and fluffy bread, very delish!

Parking is okay, there’s more parking towards the back of the restaurant.

Would recommend and come again when we’re in Tahoe!

BEST breakfast ever here. Fresh and bountiful! Our server, Ryan, was extremely attentive and fun. PLUS, FRESH SQUEEZED JUICES! Wow, my friend and I could not stop raving about all of it. Choose indoor or outdoor dining. Walked across the street afterwards to browse the shops and sit on a comfy bench at the shore of Lake Tahoe and watch the boats come and go. Delightful start to the day! Weekend parking was easy.

Such a fantastically cozy dinner vibe! Potatoes were scrumptious and we loved all of our breakfasts. Gluten free bread isn’t bad!

Loved our time here and would definitely come back. Terrific service as well. There’s a beautiful beach right across the street too if you have to wait a bit for a table.

Nice cafe with a lot of options, the service was very fast and the food was tasty. 4 starts because nothing new or out of the ordinary or amazing, just good! Enjoyed the french toast and the coffee was also ok. Seems like a popular spot and it’s a standard American spot. We sropped here on our way back home. The scrambled eggs were ok, I didn’t like the cheese, but my husband enjoyed it.

The service was decent, but not friendly. The coffee was extremely bitter so I sent it back and ordered a soft drink instead. They serve canned soft drinks. All of their sandwiches come with chips and salsa but I had to ask for the salsa. The patty melt was cooked as requested and tasted great. My wife enjoyed her breakfast.

Finally something that’s not only pricey (like everywhere else ), but truly worth every dollar.

First of all — they open at 9 a.m., and that alone deserves applause because most “breakfast” spots in Tahoe town somehow open at 11 (??). Like, hello, I’m starving by then!

The staff were super polite and quick — found us a table right away and brought our food fast. Service: 10/10.

I ordered Eggs Benedict with potatoes and coffee, and it honestly tasted like comfort on a plate. The eggs were soft and velvety, the sauce perfect — like someone made it with love. The potatoes — golden, crispy, and full of flavor, not the boring oily cubes you usually get.

And the coffee! ☕️ I’m very picky with coffee, but this one easily gets a 9/10 — rich, aromatic, just strong enough.

My husband ordered scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuit, and a blueberry waffle — everything looked and smelled fresh and homemade.

If I could add one tiny thing, it would be a side salad option — just to balance all the yumminess.

And the check? Totally fair for the quality. Considering how good everything tasted — we both left full, happy, and impressed.

Everything felt fresh, real, and cooked with heart ❤️ — not industrial or rushed. This breakfast made my whole day.

It was quite a cramped space as there were a lot of large families waiting for a table. Thankfully, as we were only two, we were seated right away. They have a great variety of gluten-free items and an extensive breakfast and lunch menu which is served all day. Even though they were packed the food didn’t take too long and the quality was good. Again, even though they were so busy, I found the team to be very welcoming and they provided good service. Parking is not easy to find, but I only turned around the block once until I saw someone getting out.
