Restaurants in Placerville

“I seen the review on this place and decided to travel longer to go to it. I am happy I did. Wasent expecting a bright purple building. But I love the color purple. It was slow in there at 1130am. But they just opened we was seated quickly. I didnt care for the soup and salad. But the chicken was amazing with the tempora veggies was great too. Would have cooked them a tiny bit more. But still amazing. Deffently going back. I used to go to American itchi now im changing places for sure.”

“I’ve been looking for a good Italian restaurant since I’ve been a little homesick, and I finally found it! Can’t say enough about the food here, I was so impressed! The portions are perfect, I left feeling so full and had to get a cannoli to go! We will definitely be back! I can’t wait for my mom to visit so I can take her here! 10/10”

“Today was the first time my son and I tried out your bbq. Amazing flavor and great sauce. Best baby back’s I’ve ever had. Keep it up 👍🏼”

“This winery is one of the best! We visited for a wine tasting and the gentleman was so informative about the wines and how they are harvested, we couldn’t get enough of his knowledge! The wines, all six, that we selected on our own were excellent! We will probably join the club when we get home! Also, there is a picnic area that you can purchase a charcuterie board or cheese and crackers, spreads and dips to sit down and enjoy with your bottle of wine! It’s fantastic!”

“Always friendly and helpful! Wonderful wines 🍷”

“Come meet some of the local people, grab a beer, and play some pool or shuffleboard. If you’re a Biker, weekends are always wild. Come hang out with your Harley buddies.”

“Very good. Service and food.”

“We stop in for lunch at downtown Placerville once a week. This place was great. Cool retreat from the heat, very clean, friendly and professional wait staff, and the food was excellent.”

“Taphouse is one of those super underrated gems of placerville! Although I worked there, the main reason I actually applied for a job was because of the great food, and amazing atmosphere. As a former employee, it’s still one of my absolute favorites to visit.”

“We too have been members for years! What happened to Debbi and Nate? Wow, sad to hear, Debbi was 1 one of the main reasons we went FH, besides wine, but she truly made it extraordinarily special! Hopefully she's ok.”

“Best wines I’ve had, EVER, in this part of the state. We went for the Valentine’s lunch and it was a revelation (pun intended?). Tina is an exceptional cook, Frank and outstanding winemaker, both are lovely hosts, and their entire team is so kind, helpful and knowledgeable. My mother and I are excited to visit again.”

“Haven’t been up here since before the shutdown. Delicious Thai.. they can modify for special diet needs. Had all our favorites Sweet and Sour Fried Fish, green Curry, Pad See Ew. Fresh Spring Roll with Tofu. Lots of flavor”

“A must visit. The whole portfolio of estate wines was amazing. The Cab Franc is a must try. The beers are worth a visit as well. All of this complimented by amazing views. Take advantage of walking down to the pond and pavilion.”

“Love sitting on this dog friendly patio gazing at the Sierra Nevada foothills listening to fun bands drinking outstanding wines. Life is good!!!”

“Very personable and friendly staff! Definitely make you feel at home - and great food on top of that! Many music venues as well!”

“My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner with warm personal service. We had a nice view of the Main street in Placerville from our second floor overlook table. Great food, excellent service and cozy atmosphere. Highly recommend the strawberry Panna cotta with chocolate mousse for dessert. Great personal service from the owner!! Very friendly. Will be going back soon.!”

“Amazing restaurant great staff and great food check them out!”

“Unbelievable food! I am so excited to have discovered this foothill gem on a whim. The Place is a little out of the way, but WELL worth the trip. It wouldn't be a stretch to say this is the best food in El Dorado County. The cuisine is Italian fusion rather than straight Italian, but it works incredibly well! Make sure you start with the Piemontese Bagna Cauda (AKA "Hot Bath"). It's the best flat bread you'll ever have, without hyperbole: crispy outside, wonderfully doughy inside. For main courses… take your pick. The pizza— traditional Napoli Italian style— is perfect, no matter which one you choose. The other entrees are just as good. Don’t be put off by the use of polenta in place of traditional pasta. I was skeptical at first, but the first bite washed away all misgivings. These people know how to cook! Bene, Cirino’s, Sergio’s, Three Forks… all the best Italian places in the foothills will have to fight for second place.”

“Great service! They had my meat raviolis exactly how I like them. My husband said this is the best pizza he has had in this town. ♥️”

“Our service person name Porter was excellent!!! Very attentive to our needs. Clearing our plate from our table as needed. He deserves recognition and an award!!!”

“Great decorations. Even the bathrooms look like a forest. When we arrived, we were all given a light-up wreath crown, which we were able to take home. There were 5 of us and we had the fondue dinner. Each course was more food than we could eat. Started with cheese fondue. Main course was pieces of filet mignon, chicken, meatballs and giant shrimp cooked in oil and finished with chocolate fondue. Delicious. Our waiter, Miles, was outstanding. Made sure we were well taken care of.”

“Best service at a in n out Burger all of them are the best we love the tomato and the tomato sauce spread I call it tomato sauce real chunk American cheese and lettuce yum for your tum.”

“They have the best quality beef, cooked to perfection & great service!”

“Absolutely delicious sandwiches! We love this hidden gem on Placerville Main Street!”

“I stopped by for lunch and had a pastrami sandwich here, and found this to be an absolute delight. The charming family who work here are very friendly and care for their customers. The food is also very high quality, and worth the very fair pricing. I definitely recommend swinging by to grab a sandwich or some donuts, as you cannot be displeased with your options here!”

““Absolutely one of my favorite places to eat! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently amazing. The staff is incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, and the service is always fast and friendly. You can really tell they care about their customers and the quality of their food. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for delicious Chinese food and a great overall experience!””

“I went to Annie's for the first time today and ordered the Mexicali sandwich and fries. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the sandwich had just the right amount of spiciness to it with the chipotle sauce and jalapenos. The fries were amazing and crispy too. Everyone that works there was very attentive and super friendly. I live right around the corner and I will definitely be back to try the breakfast and mimosas. I told my husband it was a 10 out of 10.”

“Everything is yummy! My biggest plus & compliment is that my belly doesn't hurt when I eat fried food here! IDK what they do different? Thank you! This is my favorite spot!”

“The freshness and balance of the flavors is amazing. My DIL found Lisa from Mississippi! And we will be regular customers.”

“Great little restaurant. Burrito was HUGE, bigger than a foot long. Chips and salsa bar, great value and great customer service. Delivered our food and came by later to ask how the food tasted. Would recommend.”

“I love this place and the fact that it has brought great pupusas to Placerville at long last. I'll go here on my lunch breaks and the service is always on point and they are so speedy! They also have a good selection of salsas.”

“Best cinnamon roll ever! Also everything else there is also spectacular. They have cold brew coffee, expresso, doughnuts, brownie cookies, geloto, and much more.”

“Geartooth Alewerks is genuinely one of Placerville’s best hidden gems. It’s a family-owned brewery, and the whole family puts so much care into what they do. Mom runs the kitchen, Dad handles the smoking of the meats, and the brothers are usually out front making everyone feel welcome. They are some of the kindest, most generous people, and the whole place has such a friendly, relaxed, family-friendly, familiar atmosphere.

The food is just SO good. The smoked meats come out delicious and perfect every time. The smoked chicken thighs are incredibly juicy and flavorful. The nachos are amazing and the portions are seriously generous. I also love getting the mac and cheese with a smoked hot dog cut up on top. And if you are lucky enough to catch the short rib, get it with the mustard BBQ sauce. It will blow your mind. There's a whole lot of flavor and love coming out of that kitchen.

The drinks are hella good too, and award winning. Definitely try the Excuse Generator. They also have a flavorless alcoholic seltzer with different flavors you can add, which is such a fun idea and so yummy.

They play cool, obscure movies and shows on the projection screen, have trivia on Thursdays, support other local businesses, and have created a place that just feels comfortable and welcoming. You can come in, relax, eat ridiculously good food, have a great drink, and feel like you’re among friends. Places like Geartooth are exactly why supporting local businesses matters. We absolutely love it here!”

“Flourless has the best desserts! I don’t have gluten restrictions myself and cannot tell the difference in Richard’s creations. He’s very talented and is always creating new options. I highly recommend stopping in, you will love it!”

“My family has been eating there for years. We like everything but our tradition is chili cheese fries. whenever any of the family come to town, we go to ShoeStrings!”

“delicious iced loaded coffee.”

“They had absolutely everything I needed absolutely love this place”

“We love Whistle Stop. We have been going for 11 or so years. Always great service and variety. They just added boba as a topping and my daughter was stoked. Plenty of seating and we appreciate the games they have out for customers to play.”

“We had a birthday dinner at Wonderful Chinese last night. When the reservations were made, I mentioned we were celebrating 3 birthdays. I did this to see if it would be okay to bring in a birthday cake and they said no problem. Much to our surprise when it was time for cake they brought out one, they had bought to add to the celebration. It was very touching and even more fun to hear Happy Birthday sung in Chinese. Thank you to everyone at Wonderful Chinese for a scrumptious dinner and helping us to make some special memories!”

“Great place to eat fantastic fish 😁”

“This place continues to go downhill in my opinion. We have been going there for years. But the last year we have stopped going much at all because the service is very hit and miss. A few good servers here and there. The food had also started to be not as good. We decided to try it again and for me this is probably the last time. The serving size for the price is pitiful. Especially the ridiculously small kids pizza for $12. It was burnt on the bottom besides. The garden sandwich sounded very good but was pitiful and served on a dry bun. The service was adequate but not friendly. Just disappointing again. This used to be one of my favorite places.”

“A welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home and special. Almost like you are family!”

“We had the most wonderful experience at Spice Kitchen in Placerville! My husband ordered the Chicken Curry and I had the Lamb Korma — and both dishes were made to absolute perfection. The flavors were rich, authentic, and beautifully balanced. I love my food spicy, and the Lamb Korma was perfectly seasoned for me — full of warmth and depth — yet mild enough that my husband enjoyed every bite as well. That’s not an easy balance to strike! What truly makes this place special is the charming, quirky setup. The outdoor seating area is connected to a convenience store that offers local wines and an excellent selection of craft beers — such a fun and unexpected touch. The patio itself is incredibly inviting, complete with chandeliers and a rolling water fountain. It’s one of those places you simply have to see to appreciate. Even better, the convenience store clerk doubled as an excellent, classy waiter. The service was attentive, warm, and professional — completely unexpected in the best possible way. To top it off, the chef came out personally to greet us, and we were able to thank him ourselves for such an outstanding meal. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. The reason we originally stopped in was because I’m scouting a fourth pit-stop location for my Mustang Car Club poker run in June. After this visit, I can confidently say — if they’ll have us — we will absolutely be stopping here. Great food, unique atmosphere, and a memorable experience all around. Highly recommend!”

“Welcoming, friendly fast service, delicious food and great ambiance. Our new favourite place for brunch!”

“I stopped in with 7 motorcycle friends last weekend. They welcomed us with open arms, had a great lunch, with a great view. Thanks for being polite and welcoming! We will be back.”

“charming place friendly staff & great coffee & Cornish parties don't forget to try the rose latte”

“this place is amazing! good drinks live music and good drinks”

“Had lunch there today with my friend Mary and we each got a mini pizza and it was delicious. I got the Greek one with added chicken and cuz I'm not eating tomatoes currently - got the garlic white sauce instead. Yum Yum Yum and everybody was very friendly too.🙂”

“What a fun little spot. Loved all the fun and friendly decor. Lots to take in and little fun trinkets for sale. We opted for strawberry milk tea with popping strawberry bobas. Delicious. Only giving 4 stars because I was kinda bummed there were more caffeine free kid friendly drinks. And I asked about a food item and the worker couldn't tell me what is was. Overall, though, fun place with good drinks. Will be back”

“BlueBarn Provisions is an absolute gem in Camino! Everything about this place feels thoughtful and elevated…. from the cozy, charming atmosphere to the beautifully crafted menu. I had the Roasted Turkey with French Brie + Peach Jam, Spring Greens on Ciabatta, and WOW. The flavor combo was perfection; savory, creamy, slightly sweet, and so fresh. The peach jam with the brie took it to another level, and the ciabatta was perfectly toasted. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients and presentation. This is the kind of place you go once and immediately start thinking about what you’ll order next time. If you’re anywhere near Camino, this is a must-stop. 🥪✨”

“This was my first time there,the service was great and the food was even better, tacos 🌮 were off the hook and i love me some good garlic fries..thank you.😋ill be back soon..”

“We took our kids, 13 & 4, to The Green Room for Thrash Night on 6/8/24. It was our 4yo first show. Everyone was so nice, and the whole family had a blast. Great music, Great crowd!”

“This is my kids favorite spot to get a treat. They LOVE the smoothies. The chocolate screamer is fantastic when I am running around and forget to eat breakfast”

“Cheese Blintz with Olliberries.”

“This is my kids favorite spot to get a treat. They LOVE the smoothies. The chocolate screamer is fantastic when I am running around and forget to eat breakfast”

“We came to this Vineyard for a wedding!! The venue was SPECTACULAR! Every year inch of this venue is pictured perfect! The beautiful greenery, the pond, the horse stables and the barn. The deck for the bride and groom’s first dance with the pond as the backdrop. The acoustics in the barn were great. The barn had three large sliding glass doors to open up the barn. The cocktail area is very intimate for guests. Plenty of parking for guests. If you are looking for a place to have your wedding? I highly recommend this Vineyard!!”

“Great, New York style pizza, and tacos and other options. Great beer prices! The staff is super friendly and a great family and community spot that has just gotten better.”

“There are many Mexican food restaurants but this is one of 2 that we highly recommend in Placerville. El Carnival has so many great options to choose from, we appreciate their specials, too. Every time we eat here, the food never disappoints, no matter what we order. Today was a quick lunch... the chicken taquitos and carnitas were delicious. Try the carnitas, so good. The complimentary chip/salsa bar offers a variety of heat levels. They also have a good variety of beers and bottle drinks, plus fountain drinks. The restaurant is always well staffed & the staff are friendly. There is indoor or patio areas for dining. Three restaurant is we'll designed and decorate, and kept clean.”

“I love the Honey Bear Latte”

“Miss the winery. Thank your shipping !”

“Best crispy chicken tacos in town! No pics because I just ate them.🤷🏻‍♂️”

“Amazing place! Had a great time.”

“Great food friendly staff”

“lumberjack slam or the slamwich”

“We went to Placerville dutch bro. The coffee was great the window person was great the order taker outside was rude and made it so i will go to Folsom it’s only a couple of miles further and they are kind and the drinks are great”

“Food was awesome. Had to wait sometime to receive it and I was tired of the servers chit chat with each other not long after we arrived. “Literally this, literally that…” other than all the bored servers standing around it was well worth the stop. I would def stop in again. Food was awesome.”

“Paco's is fantastic! Absolutely phenomenal food and worth every penny! Much better than any other Mexican restaurant in El Dorado County!”

“Best sandwiches this side of the Mississippi. It’s not really a sandwich, but more like an “experience”, with bread.”

“Love, love, love this place! The bagels are always fresh and amazing, and the coffees are just as good. The ladies who work here are the sweetest they’re always kind, welcoming, and ready with great suggestions.

They also offer a bagel bar for events, which is so fun and unique to our area. Overall, just an amazing spot with great food, great service, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere!”

“I ordered a birthday cake for my partner who works in Placerville , though we live out of state . Ashley was so helpful from the first phone call , multiple texts to having the cake delivered ! I heard that the cake was so delicious too ! Thank you so much ! I highly recommend this bakery to anybody from the Bay Area to Tahoe .”

“Holy moly, probably the best Mexican food I've had in CA since we moved to San Diego in 2010 (now in Nor Cal). Hints of flavors I've only had in Central and Southern Mexico, I was in heaven. I want to eat here all the time.”

“Max’s is amazing. Very straight forward menu, everything on it is amazing. The atmosphere is laid back and everyone working here rules. Got 2 burgers and 2 tacos and everything was delicious. I highly recommend this spot to everyone. Awesome job max.”

“This place has the best pizza out of all the pizzas we have had. The quality is always the same never had a bad pizza its absolutely delicious pizza the crust is even delicious. Nice and crispy. Atmosphere is typical pizza parlor. Staff is always courteous and pleasant.”

“Let me tell you ! Coming home from Tahoe. Looked up restaurants. Reviews said they serve high end ingredients here. OMG . Literally some of the best Chinese food I ever had ! The Mongolian beef was amazing. Even people next to us some firstimers as well were saying the same thing. My lady does not like Chinese food that much either. She was not too thrilled i asked her if we can go there. When we left she kept saying how amazing her food was. This is not like her at all trust me ! Lol From now on I will never pass this place without getting something. Even if im not hungry im getting some to go for later. Thanks Iron walk for serving the best food possible. People like me really appreciate it.”

“We went to this place today for the first around lunch time. Took someone a while to greet us and take our order but that's understandable considering it was about 4-5 orders in front of us.... they seemed short staffed. The burgers were great and the fries were hot. I asked for a ranch and was charged $1 per container. I don't understand if someone spends $40 on 2 burgers, 2 drinks, and 1 French fry.... why would they be charged for 1 condiment? I understand that every dollar counts but that's ridiculous. If you have to charge 1$ for the container, maybe you should do smaller servings and give away a courtesy container per customer before charging. This practice alone will drive a potential, repeated costumer away. Not saying I will not return, but I'll think twice.”

“Watch what you are being charged. One dish is posted as being 17.95 but they charge you over 20.00 if you are not paying attention. Unfortunately I have been ordering this dish often and have been overcharged each time.”

“If you’re looking for a fancy winery this is not the place. But if you’re looking for good wine great conversation with the winemaker and Nice organic wine be sure to stop by.”

“amazing street tacos and their chorizo burritos are delicious 😋 definitely going back. very kind owner's as well”

“I can't say enough about this place... I'm only sorry I didn't stop sooner! I needed a pick me up and had no idea what I was in the mood for... Mindy wasn't annoyed at all and just asked me what I like and don't like. Then she mixed up some espresso magic and handed it over. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! My girls love all things pink so she mixed them up some special lemonade. It was a big hit! We will definitely be back often!!”

“Hard working team here at this location.
One team member is outstanding with their non stop working while positively engaging with customers. These jobs are not easy to execute or keep up with yet this young man is doing an outstanding job with the demands and pressure his is currently under… I give this team 5 stars 🌟 with an applause 👏
Thank you for feeding us a tasty lunch.”

“Always have fun & Terry serves a great Long Island Ice Tea 🍹all the bartenders are friendly too 👍”

“Best restaurant in placerville whenever I visit home it’s my first stop!”

“We always love eating here.”

“The new owner is so amazing, she’s so sweet. I love going here for coffee when I can because it’s just so delicious, the lattes are always so flavorful and I just enjoy how much it’s improved just from the change in ownership. If you haven’t been here in awhile and haven’t tried it lately you definitely should. Huge improvement from before. You won’t regret it I promise.”

“My family orders from Pizza Guys of Placerville at a minimum three times a month. The service is good the people are friendly and the pizza is fantastic”

“It's very clean and updated inside. Staff is very friendly and do a wonderful job making the pizzas. I remember a short time ago where Papa Murphy's meant you could get a pizza cheaper than a pizzeria that baked it for you and now it is the most expensive. I'm just not sure what happened... The pizza is quality but the price is somewhat unreasonable.”

“i visited the Placerville store and was greeted kindly.the staff was helpful and kind.the sammies i got were stop on.best sandwich place in town!!”

“Great sandwiches good location next to Raleys in Modesto”

“Incredibly good food and outstanding staff. We were in the area camping and came over for a nice lunch. This will be our usual spot now when camping 😀”

“Quick,easy and decently priced,people are nice and interact with me..I like that since everything is not face to face these days.the one in placerville by target is great..”

“John was amazing at The Round Table at Missouri Flat Rd ❤️❤️🥖🧀🍕🍕🍕 Placerville California gave me a really good deal on the pizza. We love Round table Pizza. We always come here so he is a number one guy He was the bomb. All employees should be as awesome as John was today.!!!!!
Yeah John , you made my week !!!
You Rock !!!!!!!🪨 🤗🤗 Broken👍👍👍💕🦋”

“This is my go to when I am headed anywhere eastbound 50. I always order ahead but thr wait tends to be long no matter what. Understandable, given the location, but disappointing to almost never be greeted or acknowledged. Due to convenience, we will be back.”

“Amazing food”

“Great food would recommend this place to everyone”

“The food was real good I just got a super chicken burrito desebrado and was delicious

“Very clean restaurant, love the staff, they are friendly. Very nice owner/manager Sandy. My food was delicious & came out fast. Definitely recommend this place!”

“Jimboy's tacos & their enchiladas are the best. They definitely don't taste like they are fast food. The service wasn't bad & the prices are reasonable as well.”
