24 Best American Restaurants near Mokelumne Hill

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

“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.“

“I love Crazy Eddie’s. Food is top notch and they treat you like family! Best food around!“

“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!“

“The fish and chips are the best! Good food and staff.“

“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! ❤️“

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

“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.“

“True hidden gem nestled in the Sierra Foothills. The layout is incredibly scenic and offers a fantastic variety of holes that will challenge your accuracy, especially with the elevation changes and the dramatic drop on the signature 13th hole. The bentgrass greens roll beautifully, the pro shop staff is always welcoming, and capping off the day with a brisket burger on the clubhouse patio overlooking the course is tough to beat.“

“Great food, but long lunch lines and wait time. I got 2 sandwiches to go. I ordered the smoked turkey and a tri tip. Both were fresh and delicious! It took quite a bit of time to get my order, so I'm not sure what happened there. But over all a great spot“

“UPDATED: Been coming here since 2022 and absolutely love this cafe. The old farm house atmosphere, the food is VERY FRESH and the chocolate chip 🍪 are yummy!!! This morning's hot chocolate and French Toast Sandwich was 😋“

“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! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“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“

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

“Had eggs benedict with side of fruit. The eggs were beautiful and runny on the inside like they’re meant to be. Took a minute for our order to be taken, but that’s fine. Always love the views, coffee is good and they offer for more coffee. Don’t have any complaints and I’ve been here several times over the years.“

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