14 reviews for Wildflower Cafe
I have been enjoying breakfast at the Wildflower for over 15 years and have never had a bad meal. It is our go to place when we have company and none of our guests have been disappointed either. I usually have pancakes with fruit (short stack, since they are as big as the plate they come in) and my husband has one of their generous, meat and veggie filled omelets.
Very attentive staff, huge portions and fresh, delicious comfort food at reasonable prices (comparable to Dennys but far superior quality). A simple, no fuss place for a satisfying meal.
its just ok, over priced omletes, $25 for 2 people is a bite much for breakfast. and the service is questionable and they they feel that it is a privlage for you that they are serving you.......skip breakfast and go to T's for lunch and go to the beach.....i will give it 1 prop resonable good sized portions

I arrived at around 9am on a Saturday and the place was humming. This place is warm and friendly. It's nothing fancy, but it's comfortable. They have a diner style counter with stools as well as two dining rooms with various table configurations.
I took a seat in the row of tables behind the counter so I could keep an eye on the action. Some of the other reviewers said that the service can be slow. This was _not_ my experience. My coffee cup was never more than half empty and the owner even came by a couple of times to ask if how I was doing.
The food is tasty and plentiful. I had the Spanish Omelette with a side of Wildflower Potatoes. The omelette was cooked perfectly, if a bit bland. Luckily the hot sauce was already on the table. The signature potatoes were yummy. They are covered in spices with mushrooms and cheese.
Didn't care for this place -- the food was mediocre at best and was greasy. There was no ambiance or charm at all in what could have been a cute little place. The service was just okay, nothing great. And, for the two of us, breakfast with tip was like 30 dollars -- not worth it at all.
We had breakfast here and were quite disappointed. The food is quite bad. For what you are paying it should be much better. The interior is not that great and the coffee is one of the worst cups of joe anywhere. This is worth skipping.
Good, solid, standard breakfast fare in a basic, clean restaurant. When my friends are in town, they love coming here for breakfast (which means I don't have to cook!). Decent prices, quick service, hot coffee always ready for a pour. Plus I'm a two minute drive away!
I usually order the pigs in a blanket - really tasty sausages wrapped in fluffy, fat pancakes. My friend always raves about the giant moist biscuits with the gravy. We laughed when we saw our empty plates, scraped clean. For the 3 of us with tip, it was just under $40 (compare that with almost $50 we spent the next day at Truckee's Squeeze In for less impressive food).
We ate here over this past weekend, memorial day. The place was very busy. Waited approx. 5 min. for a table and food service was fast as well.
I did not love my turkey sausage and cheese omelete (the sausage was a little funky) but my husband loved his Philly Omelette (a special).
Simply: Dry sandwhiches, on the cheap side, bad service, and just generally marginal food.
There are way better choices in Incline for breakfast and lunch. I've been burned on bad food and service too many times here.
One vivid example- I ordered a BLT. Simple right? No. This was like eating sandpaper it was so dry, the lettuce was wilted and the tomatoes were sub-par. It was bad enough that I still remember it.
Not worth your time or money!
We had breakfast here and it was very good. I had the corned beef hash which was "home made" -- not out of a can. Home fries were very good. Chorizo and eggs were good but chorizo, unfortunately was over cooked. Nice ambiance, Good breakfast spot.
The Wildflower Cafe is definatly a local favorite. i have read many reviews of this place saying the food was not so good in their last few visits and the service is terrible once you actually get a table after waiting for what seems to be an eternity. my experiences with this place have always been good ones. my dad lives in incline and i have been eating here for atleast fifteen years and each visit is joined with exeptional food. the food tastes like something you would expect to eat when visiting home. everything has that home cooked taste to it and they give you enough food to last a week. and if for some reason you dont like what you got they will be happy to re make it for you. as for the service, the cafe is the size of an apartment and for the volume of customers that shuffle through there during hours of operation i think the wildflower does a decent job of service concerning what they have to go through to get to one table.
so they must be doing something right if the masses of tahoe and else where keep coming back like the plague.
solid breakfast/lunch place. be sure to check out the specials on the board. i've had slow service both times i've been here.
A pretty standard breakfast place, with O.K. food. I used to like it more a few years back and ate there pretty regularly, but my last couple meals there have resulted in me feeling kinda icky afterwards as if I had just eaten fast food. The food tastes way better than any fast food, but the weird feeling afterwards is a bit disconcerting. I tend to have an adverse reaction to food with certain synthetic ingredients and additives, which I assume Wildflower is using in their food. If I felt O.K. after eating there, it would get 4 stars, but that icky feeling knocks 2 off. I won't go back unless I hear something about them changing their ingredients.
I agree, it's hard to find good restaurants anywhere in the Tahoe area. The best restaurants are only what I would consider okay by my standards but . . . this place was voted best breakfast in 2005 and . . . all I have to say is wow, that's incredible because this place sucked.
We waited 30 minutes, after ordering, to get our food and when it came UGH. My fiance had the all meat omelette with a side of biscuits and gravy and . . . where shall I start? The omelette was so tough and dry that it was almost inedible. You could tell that they made the omelette by pouring scrambled eggs into a pan and then either baking it or passing it under a broiler and then just threw a bunch of chopped up meat into the middle and then folded it over. The omelette was puffy, dry, and disgusting.
The biscuits and gravy were absolutely horrible. A big, tall, tough biscuit covered with a tiny bit of gray which was tasteless. Really pretty sickening.
I had the croissanwhich which was scrambled eggs with ham and cheese on a croissant. It was really bad. I took a couple of bites but just finally couldn't even eat it. The croissant was limp and greasy. The eggs were a smaller version of the hard, dry eggs that my fiance had in his omelette and the cheese was . . . well, it was cheese. The home fries that it came with were unremarkable one way or the other.
The only reason that I'm giving this place one star is because the site won't let me give no star. I would never go back to this place.
It is so hard to find a decent restaurant in Touristy area. Having said that, I am amazed to see such a sub par restaurant can be open for business. My hawaian omelett was so hard, I had hard time swallowing it after chewing 100 times. Next time, I am sending back food unless it arrives the way it should be.
