18 Best American Restaurants in Placerville

“John and his staff serve lunch that is locally sourced and organic. There's always a line to order, but well worth the wait. The elk burger is awesome. John and his staff are gracious and skilled. It's like coming home to family every time I walk in.“

“This isn’t about the atmosphere but it is about the amazing sandwiches. Huge, gargantuan sandwiches with crazy and delicious combinations!Vegetarian options: Many sandwiches are either vegetarian or can be changed to accommodate a vegetarian or vegan.“

“We've probably been there dozens of times since our last review, but it's time to reassure everyone that The Brick Oven Pub in Placerville California is still one of our "go to" places! It is a wonderful blend of a neighborhood pub and a family friendly restaurant. The food is excellent, the beer and wine selection is broad, and the entire staff is bright, sharp, friendly and attentive. After all of these years (since the day it opened), The Brick Oven Pub retains the coveted "Ben & Gigi Gay Seal of Approval"! Give it a try!“

“Enjoyed a late lunch here on our drive back from Lake Tahoe to the Bay Area. Didn't get to try their Lobster Bisque since they were out (Friday ~2pm), but our daughter loved their clam chowder. The Baked Brie was so delicious - served with warm bread, dried fruit, grilled onions and truffles. It was gone within a few minutes! For our mains, the crab cake sliders were fine, nothing spectacular. But their Salmon Salad was a hit! The salmon was cooked just right, not too dry, with a lightly sweet, refreshing dressing. I wish I could bottle up the dressing and take it home! We'll definitely be coming back when we're in town again.“

“I am the host of a foodie Meetup group. My group dined here on Saturday, May 11th for dinner. Food was truly exceptional, perfectly executed dishes, cooked and seasoned perfectly, not trying too hard, rather was high quality food served simply and it was clear the chef knows what they are doing. Service was equally excellent, and the ambience was great - nice outdoor seating and indoor ambience very pleasant as well. Highly recommend, and don't skip dessert. We got 4 different desserts, and each one was was stunningly good. My favorite was the chocolate cake with orange blossom whipped cream - cake was so light and fluffy, and the orange whipped cream set it off so nicely and delicately. Truly a superb restaurant all around. Will definitely be back!“

“The food was really great and the service was friendly. The atmosphere is really beautiful and historic although the seating is pretty uncomfortable. That's my only complaint.Kid-friendliness: The kids' menu is great, but could use more veggies and fruit options.“

“Finally found an all-beef hot dog that I can get in Placerville that is comparable to Bay area hot dog places like Casper's or other hot dog steamed beef hot Dogs. I have been here many years and just never went into streams and now that I have I will be back many many times. I will take a picture “

“What a lovely accident. I was passing through and stopped to grab a bite to eat. On a Tuesday, I was able to walk in and be seated right away. Was met by great staff who was very kind and welcoming. The ambiance was set as a charming farmhouse. And the star of the experience was the food. It was fresh and well seasoned. I munched on the Cajun chicken sandwich, with a couple of modifications. (Don't hate me, but I'm a wuss when it comes to spice) highly recommend! I also had the clam chowder and focaccia! Yum yum yum!!! If you're in the area come here for good eats and good people!“

“This is a pretty awesome bar. We stopped by here on our way back to Fairfield to have a drink and shoot some pool. Friendly atmosphere, well maintained, super nice bartender, cool regulars who make you feel welcomed, and just an overall warm atmosphere. Even though we are out of towners we definitely felt at home here“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was appropriate to the food. They had country music playing which seemed to go with the barbecue. I had the spicy jalapeno cheddar sausage sandwich and my husband had the loaded baker (potato ?). His potato was huge. He couldn't eat it all. I would recommend Dickey's to anyone craving good barbecue.“

“We stumbled upon this cute shop as we were walking down Main Street Placerville. We wanted something to quench the thirst without sugar! This was the place! I had their Lavender Green Tea iced no sweetener and a mini egg burrito. It's very small so perfect for a snack. Only bummer was there was hardly any egg, mostly potatoes and sausage. Nice mild salsa gave it the flavor it needed. I would recommend but maybe ask for extra egg? Service was quick and friendly! I would definitely come back!“

“We stopped for a quick lunch. We chose to sit outside. The food was great! We all had salads. I had the steak salad, which was awesome! Apparently, they are going to have live music on Wednesday afternoons for Happy Hour. Plan to go back and check it out.“

“Cute pub atmosphere - food is carefully prepared with attention to detail. My lamb burger came out a little too red for my liking (I don't think I communicated very well that I wanted it rather well done not at all pink) and rather than just cook it more they brought me a whole new order. It was delicious! Fries are super crispy, well seasoned and everything is very fresh. We had a wonderful lunch! Wait staff very attentive but did not hover. Excellent all over experience.“

“Very good place to grab breakfast or lunch or dinner. The staff is very nice and accommodating. Excellent place for kids, really for anyone who enjoys diner type food.Parking: About 25 spots, some are a bit tight if you have an SUV or pickup. We've always found parking around peak times for lunch.Kid-friendliness: Place always has lots of kids and families eating. They have a kid's menu and they bring food for kids in a cool 50s style car (made out of cardboard).“

“Our server Patsy was amazing, very friendly, & very courteous. she engaged in a small amount of conversation while continuing with all of her regular duties. She's the best and you should give her a raise!I definitely recommend Denny's and if you have the opportunity, if you're lucky enough to get Patsy as your server then that's a bonus!!P.S. the health nut pancakes were delicious and my easy scrambled eggs we're very, very good as well.Parking: The handicap parking is very convenient“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Golden Waffle Cafe in Placerville, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. I ordered the California omelet, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best omelets I've ever had. The combination of avocado, tomato, and melted cheese was simply divine, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. The potatoes that accompanied the omelet were seasoned just right, providing a delightful contrast in texture and flavor.The atmosphere of the cafe was cozy and inviting, with a friendly staff that made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The service was prompt, and the waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail, such as the fresh flowers on the tables and the personalized greetings from the owners.Overall, I would highly recommend The Golden Waffle Cafe to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal in Placerville. The food is top-notch, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. I give The Golden Waffle Cafe a well-deserved 5-star rating, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings.“

“Stopped in for lunch the other day, food was good, service was great, and had a nice atmosphere. Loved the garlic fries, the ranch burger was delicious and massive, I'm a big guy and was stuffed after only eating half. Mac and cheese bites were decent, no complaints but also I may have been too full to properly enjoy them!“

“This burger joint is close to my home, so I have been a regular consumer. One favorite was the Chinese Chicken salad. Their limited hours makes it tough to eat there. They take no orders after 6:30 pm and close the indoor seating early as well. Recently, they raised their prices significantly. At these rates I would rather eat at a nicer place such as the Tap House or Brick Oven Pub.“
