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 🍷”

“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. 🥪✨”

“Very good. Service and food.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Amazing wine! Love the fact that there are no chemicals!!! It makes such a huge difference. I definitely recommend that you try it. Beautiful place to sit outside on a cool day and inside is a cool refuge on a hot summer day.”

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

“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”

“Been going here for several years as a wine club member. Great award winning wines and some delicious craft beer brewed in house. The tasting room has friendly staff, and a deck with incredible views of the vineyard.”

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

“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. ♥️”

“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.”

“I have never ate at a restaurant where EVERYTHING on my plate was amazing until I ate here. Went on a Sunday evening in July of 2026. This place blew it off the chart with it all. Ribs=9/10. Prime rib 9/10. Cornbread 9/10. Ham 9/10 a surprisingly the collard green were 9/10. I never give a 10/10 even of it was, but this place is worth every penny spent. I thanked a couple of chefs in person. Great staff and appeal to the entire room. You all are my new favorite place to eat and I’ll pass on the greatness about you all. Into my hat and wallet off to every one of the staff here.”

“Hello, I wanted to compliment your restaurant. The food was outstanding, and the ambiance along with the sound level created a very comfortable and enjoyable experience. Thank you for the great service—I look forward to returning soon.”

“Restaurant was very clean. Service was exceptional. The right amount, not too much but never felt like we waited for anything! Food was delicious and veges very fresh! Anxious to go again!”

“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!”

“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.”

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

“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!”

“Best Mexican food in town! My favorite restaurant. Happy, friendly staff and atmosphere. Very laid back and can go there in work clothes. I'm never, ever disappointed!!!”

“The service here was fantastic! I got a vanilla bean ice and a brown sugar chocolate chip cookie. The young lady that owns this spot was so nice, and she provided suggestions. Don't waste your time going to McDonald's to get an ice cream. This is a way better”

“Sort of found this place on accident. We were in Placerville and looked up good food and brewery. When we first arrived it looked like an empty hole in the wall type place off the main road.
Nice, peaceful, atmosphere AND the food, OMG we thought it was SO good. We were there Friday and enjoyed it SO Much, went again on Sunday and I ordered the same thing. I had the brisket wrap with blue cheese, both times. And looking forward to going again.”

“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!”

“I had a carnitas super burrito. It was the best I have had in Placerville. I would eat another one if I had room! I found it very tasty, and it was a great value for $. If there was one thing, just one, it was a touch salty. That was not enough to deter me from going back though. I will return. Wide variety of salsa with the chips.”

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

“delicious iced loaded coffee.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Great place to eat fantastic fish 😁”

“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!”

“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.”

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

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

“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!”

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

“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.🙂”

“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.”

“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.”

“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..”

“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”

“What a beautiful wedding venue! The staff is knowledgeable and helpful and I can’t emphasize enough that this truly is one of the best Wedding Venues in Northern California!”

“Cheese Blintz with Olliberries.”

“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.”

“We visited on Sunday, and Cassie helped us. This is our new favorite spot!

From the vibe ( clean/laid-back), the pricing ( competitive and reasonable) the treats ( next level deliciousness) and the customer service ( exemplary) — everything was immaculate. Highly recommend this new spot.

Picture of my child’s happy smile enjoying Gunther ice cream says it all! Check it out. You won’t be disappointed.”

“I love the Honey Bear Latte”

“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”

“JoJo's has done so many cakes for me and they have all been delicious works of art. But my birthday cake this year was magical. It was Greek themed and I had my party at a Greek restaurant. The restaurant wants to hire JoJo to make them a cake exactly like mine as it matches their vibe so well! The flavor was outstanding, lemon with lemon curd and fresh blueberries. It just doesn't get any better. I'll never go anywhere else! Looking forward to the next cake for an upcoming 18th birthday party in our family. For every party, I'm always tasked with taking the cake order to JoJo's. They are always able to create my ideas, even the challenging ones. And the prices are fabulous.”

“Great food friendly staff”

“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.”

“Great sandwiches good location next to Raleys in Modesto”

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

​The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, always flashing a quick smile and making you feel like a valued regular. Plus, it's totally pet-friendly! Bring the doggos along, they have treats and pup cups ready to go so your furry co-pilot gets a reward too.
​Skip the big chains and support an awesome local team!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Amazing food”

“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.”

“My favorite Chinese restaurant in the county”

“Great food would recommend this place to everyone”

“The General Manager, Kacie, at this restaurant is doing a fantastic job! I've been going to this RTP for many years now and this is the best it's been. The quality of the salad bar is top notch. She goes to the trouble of chopping the lettuce, making it easier and less messy to eat. The pizzas are great. The place is CLEAN. But beyond all that, there's a general feeling as soon as you walk through the door of warmth and hospitality. You're met with smiling faces and a friendly greetings of welcome. Everything has really improved since she's been in charge. Keep up the good work, Kacie!”
