24 Best American Restaurants near Mokelumne Hill

“After almost 2 years returned to the Leger for a date night with my wife. Now, the new owners and the Management and Chef are what this town has needed to revive this treasure of a hotel and restaurant. The chef is a culinary dreamer and achiever who seems to be on the path of culinary enlightenment at the Hotel. All courses were layered with a passion and love for food that the Leger has never seen before. I loved the old chefs but they were armature at best of home BBQ kings. Johnathan is a Chef that has the gift that 99% of chefs wish they had. I recommend setting a reservation for a private dinner for 2 and let them take the wheel to create an experience, not just some dinner. Last night was a full circle moment that could have gone horribly wrong, but, not one thing can be complained about nor changed. A perfect evening and there will be more to come.“

“Great lunch today! Yummy calamari bacon street tacos. We will definitely be back!“

“The Pan of Gold (French Toast) is the best!“

“Although I live in Turlock, I love love love Cavana‘s in Sutter Creek! This pub and grub has divine menus along with awesome presentations of food. I love the club sandwich and the garlic fries. The atmosphere is friendly and fun. You can meet people at other tables and formulate friendships. But back to the food, it is to die for!“

“Had dinner last night‼️ Clean, attractive and tasty‼️ ??“

“I was there a couple of weeks ago had the greatest time with my Son and classmates from Line Dancing class,“

“It might very well be a different experience when dining in there, but our experience for takeout yesterday was just terrible. When calling to place a takeout order, we were told takeout orders must be made in person at the restaurant. When at the restaurant we were asked why we did not call our order in on the phone. Clearly there is a problem with someone who answers the phone for the restaurant. it took quite some time for the food to be prepared, then when it was obvious that there was something missing from the order, staff insisted the order was complete. This resulted in all containers having to be removed from bags and opened to determine what was missed. After much apology, the person helping us recommended that we not frequent this business again, because it's just not good. I will say that aside from the very very bland steak and mashed potatoes, and the disappointing cheesecake dessert, the other foods that were ordered were good. It's very disheartening to frequent a local business and have one of its own employees recommend that we not return because the place is so bad.“

“Billy our server was great!! Huge portions and fast friendly service!“

“Love this place! Consistently great food and service! Our regular go to place.“

“A great live music venue! Good vibes! Supporting local musicians & bands!“

“I have been all over New England and around California in search of the best clam chowder. I have finally found it in our little gem spot in Sutter Creek, Hotel Sutter. The clams were fresh and perfect texture. Not a fishy taste at all. The nice chunky potatoes were perfectly cooked and perfectly porpotioned! Definitely a MUST try before the season is over.“

“Great hashbrowns. All my food was good, but the hashbrowns were worth the cost of the whole meal.“

“The staff was friendly and welcoming when we arrived. Since it was prior to a Holiday weekend, they made sure to advise us that it was important to book any weekend tee times to insure times were available.

The course was in the best shape that I had seen it. The fairways were clean and well kept, while the greens were manicured and fair.

Definitely will be playing here again. The course was very good for the price point of the green fees.“

“Once again Chef Eric and his team absolutely slayed it tonight. We had a group of 5. Long distance friends catching up. Not only did they move our table to a better location for small talk after a request but accommodated us in every way . The food was absolutely to die for. The staff were attentive and answered all questions! The wine and craft beers weres also amazing! Highly recommend! Can’t wait to stay the night in this historic location!!! 10/10 and the locals are so friendly! ❤️“

“Has updated furniture and the menus have been re- made. Excellent sandwiches and dessert. Couple of beers, soda & canned drinks. This is inside a converted house. Big groups during warm weather outback offers much room. The inside isn't real roomy. Parking can fill up in warm weather months.“

“This place gets busy as shit for breakfast. I haven't been here in 5 years and it's still all the same people love that. I did have to request for my French toast sandwich to be taken back and remade. I said for the eggs to be sunny side up they was over hard. I requested turkey bacon, no ham, and if I can replace the ham with an egg. It did not have a 3rd egg for both sandwiches the mess up or the fixed. So I was mad about that but happy I got runny yokes. Please anticipate wait 40mins for your food the food is worth it though. Will eat here every visit 😋 🥰😁💯“

“Went for our first time today! The food was absolute heaven! We met Mama Mary who was just so wonderful as was all the staff that we encountered. I felt at home in this gem of a environment and the music was so relaxing. Fell head over heels for the bathroom design. Can't wait to go back. By far the best food and service I have ever experienced.“

“We are regulars for breakfast. Always just like we want it and service is awesome. It gets a bit noisy when crowded.

“on 8-4-2025 my wife and i had lunch at your restaurant,i had the mo burger. something just did't taste right, for one the burger was cooked hard as a rock and my wife told me to send it back but i did't. i woke up today sick,and the only thing i ate was the mo burger. i do not want anything i just feel the prep on the food is not being watched, a rock hard burger on a small bun is not what you have served in the past. we eat there several times a month. arnold l ares 209-297-1442“

“This is our biweekly spot. Just about every time we go to town this is our favorite place. The ladies know us on the spot and are always so nice. Mom always orders the Turkey with extra cranberry. Dad likes to switch it up depending on the time we go. Never had anything bad.“

“Delicious burgers and wonderful service today! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“If you’re looking for a top‑tier meal and a full bar in Calaveras County, Gooney’s Bar & Grill is the place. I had their fish & chips and WOW — the fish is perfectly battered and cooked just right, the fries are crisp, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and fun.

Whether you're meeting friends, grabbing an easy dinner after a long day, or just craving something satisfying — this place has you covered.“

“Good American style food, big sandwiches, generous salads, watch for their specialty of the day! Great views looking over a small lake surrounded by the lush greens of La Contents Golf Course. Wildlife is abundant, ducks, herons, and some wild golfers might just display their talents or not! Full service bar, for those that like wine or beer or mixed drinks with their meals.“

“The service was great, but the food sometimes good, sometimes it was not... disappointing 😌“
