16 Best American Restaurants near Garden Valley

“This store is closed due to medical issues but they now do offer weekly meals that you can order and pick up. You order by Sunday and pick up on Wednesday. Connect to them on Facebook and you can see the weekly offers post. I highly enjoyed their food so I am sure the weekly meals will be delicious. I am planning on trying them soon. The owner is very friendly and helpful.“

“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.“

“For months I would stop and read the menu but just couldn’t bring myself to try one their “concoctions”. That was my loss. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone trying several of their master pieces and have not been disappointed once. This place is like the Disney Epcot of sandwich shops. Ready for an American classic, the biscuits and gravy sandwich might be their simplest sandwich but I’m salivating right now just thinking about it. The gravy is top three I’ve ever had, if not the best. Ready for a trip south of the border, the enchiladas suizas sandwich might be my favorite so far (minus the sour cream). The addition of the chips might seem like something my kid would do, but don’t think this sandwich would be same without them. The salsa verde rivals anything I’ve had at any Mexican restaurant. Looking for something a little on the sweet side then give the honey walnut prawns a try, and continue down the Asian fusion path with the pot sticker cheese burger. I could go on but just know your trip around the culinary world doesn’t stop there. Don’t like to travel, no problem, the cheese burger will more than get the job done. Fair warning, they have a lot of fun and work their butts off, but on busy days there can be a bit of a wait so take some time and enjoy all Main Street has to offer. It will be more than worth it.“

“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.“

“OMG! This place is one of the best restaurants. Great service, great food. Delicious and good portions. The divide is now our most favorite place to eat. Beautiful vibe and ambiance. You have to experience it to really understand how great this place is. Try side winder fries you will not be disappointed.“

“A kind of out of the way hidden gem. The Ladies wanted to enjoy a nice dinner together during the week. The atmosphere was very nice and the staff was very welcoming. The drinks were excellent and the Filet Mignon was delicious, tender and perfectly cooked. We were all full by the end of the main course so I can't comment on dessert. Maybe next time. Highly recommended!“

“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 “

“Service and food were exceptional!! Really friendly gentleman that helped us. We felt well taken care of and he was very genuine. The food was delicious! Chili lime tempura shrimp were amazing. Highly recommend the bread pudding! It was the best I've ever had.“

“I was looking for a different experience than normal and that is exactly what I found. The building has a lot of history to it and is lovely to experience. Every one of the staff that were there were so friendly and made sure that we wanted for nothing. The breakfast was fantastic.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Friendly service, great food, delicious hand crafted cocktails on a dog friendly patio. The drive to this warm, rustic gem was such a nice way to spend an autumn day. We highly recommend making this a destination and look forward to returning on our next visit to Cali.“

“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.“
