9 Best American Restaurants near Pioneer

“We've been excited to visit this relatively new place for months. Pioneer is only a 10 minute drive up the mountain (North on Hwy CA88 from Pune Grove). Impressed from the moment we pulled into a recently renovated campus consisting of a motel & the restaurant. Clean and fresh were my first thoughts as my grandson & I parked comfortably in the front. Upon entering, "Dining" was our destination as we proceeded forward, passing a sign for "Bar" to our right. It was a Friday late afternoon, and the festive yet contolled libation was underway as the end of the week celebrating was underway. Happiness surrounded us as we proceeded down the hallway to our dining destination. We were there for a late lunch, knowing we missed the busy time hours before. Greeted pleasantly and seated right away to dig into the menu that had many appetizing and familiar names. We kept it simple... we were there for "fries and milkshakes." These were our go-to when rating grandson approval destinations. Unfortunately, our host informed us right away that "shakes" were part of their future plans but not available at this time. No problem, my grandson reviewed his kids' menu, I the adults', Fish 'n Chips were chosen by both of us. Huge portions were served to us rapidly, and we indulged our time in glee; outstanding food. Our service was friendly, informed us well with answers to our questions, and shared in neighborly conversation that reminds us why we like this area so much.The atmosphere was clean, beautiful, and inviting. There's a newness to our surroundings with an obvious attention to detail. Great view of a meadow surrounded by a Pine tree Forrest. Again, it seemed fresh and peaceful, gazing out the windows anticipating the 4 seasons of change. We talked about returning and bringing the family with us; the breakfast menu looked intriguing! Prices were average, maybe on the high side, but isn't everything these dates.Kid-friendliness: The kids' menu had large portions :)Wheelchair accessibility: Yes and easy to navigate throughout“

“The wonderful kind woman let me use the restroom though I wasn't a paying customer! When I come back next week I'll stop by and have lunch since I didn't have the opportunity this time. Thank you again for letting me use your restroom, You were a lifesaver!“

“Darling place with great views. Pick between the golf course view or the fire place. Really classy indeed. Fried prawns were delish. Hot dog was good and HUGE!!! My only complaint is the fried chicken sandwich lacked flavor. Buffalo chips were really good and service was on point!“

“Such a beautiful cozy location! There's nothing more that I love then original architect with some required updates-if needed. We had the honor to meet the owners & learn some history about Hams Station. We ordered the "Nancys wrap". A flavorful, crunchy meal wrapped in love. Hope to stop by & visit soon. We were welcomed so warmly & felt the legendary customer service“

“I try to visit Willows On Maim as much as I can afford it's a delightful local spot that offers much more than just great coffee. From the moment I walked in, I am charmed by the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.The Iced coffee at Willows is truly exceptional. But what sets this place apart is its food menu. Willows offers a range of delicious options, from hearty breakfast sandwiches to fresh, vibrant salads.It's the kind of place where you can savor a superb cup of coffee, enjoy a tasty meal, and feel like part of the family all at once. I'll definitely be returning for more of their coffee and warm hospitality.“

“We ate outside on the patio and had a very relaxing meal. The mushroom bruschetta was amazing, as were the grilled shrimp. They have a great selection of local beers and wines, and a killer 20 year old tawny port. Our favorite dish was the mixed berry cobbler.“

“Wow! We just happened into Renegade today, and I am so glad we did. The patio was super cute, and very dog friendly. I was also so excited to see how many good gluten free options there were...and they actually tasted good! Their wines are equally as delicious...my favorites were the Pinotage, Tempranillo, and Mixed Breed Red. The service was awesome, and everyone is super friendly. We will definitely be back on our next trip!“

“We visited Frak's Cafe last Sunday for lunch and were thoroughly impressed. I ordered the all-meat omelet, and my girlfriend enjoyed the patty melt. Both meals were delicious, exceeding our expectations. The service at Frak's Cafe was exceptional; the staff was incredibly friendly and contributed to the welcoming, local ambiance. It's a gem of a place, and we're so glad we decided to stop by. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food and a warm atmosphere.“
