“We took a ride from Stockton to Coperopulis which I had never heard before. We met up with my nephew and his wife and my son and his wife had pizza and the cheese sticks which are amazing! The little town was built to look old but vibrant it's a cool place with other eateries around and quaint bars. Gold Dust has ice cold beer on tap and matching ice cold fountain drinks. I highly recommend you not pass Coperopulis without stopping into Gold Dust Pizza.“
“Really wonderful spot to stop on the way to Bear Valley. Close to Tesla superchargers. The brisket burger was truly incredible. Nice kids menu with good choices and the service was lovely and the place was not crowded for lunch. Great spot to go with kidsKid-friendliness: High chairs and changing table in the bathroom“
“This corner bar just changed it's name it's now The Gold Digger. It's easy to find and remember because it's on a corner right next door to the visitor information center witch is always a good stop with its clean modern restrooms. This town while known for it's gold was really catapulted to famous status for it it's frog jumping contest "Calaveras county" Highway 49's winding roads and occasional traffic can tire a person. So take a break and stop here as I've done on 3 trips now. Our bartender Raylenae was friendly and engaging in conversation as were the other locals sitting at the bar and have been on every stop I have made there. Why the 5 stars? The bar is not fancy. It's not going to make you feel like you're living the lifestyles of the rich and famous. But I wasn't expecting that. And as long as the bar doesn't have that stale beer smell and the bathrooms are clean it passes the first test. Next do you get the stare down like you've invaded private local territory. And last do they buy the cheapest rum and vodka for the well. With rum so cheep I don't get why so many bars do that. If you make it through those test you're well on the way to finding a good bar. This bar passes the test and is one of those rare places where the community comes together to discuss Community items, it's a place where friends come together after a day of working. And from what I see they are willing to accept strangers as friends. When you stop here don't mess up a good thing. Treat these people with respect. Because my short time with them they've always been a memorable and enjoyable part of my trips. Mel and Linda“
“Classic old time bar. Great, friendly service. Limited menu . Had to wait 1/2 hr for baby back ribs(were told this up front). They were just ok...not "fall off the bone tender". Cheeseburger was juicy and cooked to perfection. Nice sides, especially the roasted veggies. Great beer and cocktails too.“
