Restaurants in Placerville

“This place is so wonderful. Their food is amazing, especially the baked mussels. I bring kids and their patio is perfect for a family situation. They pepper the kids with little treats and are so kind and patient with families. But they also offer a very serene setting inside. We will support this restaurant forever. Amazing people, fresh and wonderful food.”

“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”

“We tried the Trisket and the PBLT sandwiches, and honestly, they might be some of the best sandwiches we've ever had! Totally worth the drive from Woodland. The flavors were delicious, the ingredients fresh, and the atmosphere warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone looking for a fantastic bite!”

“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!”

“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.”

“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.!”

“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.”

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

“Honesty, Gold Hill Winery probably not the best one among the area, but it won’t be a bad one, cause there are many different types of the wine for tasting. Also, the owner, which is an old lady seems like a fun person, she waived my tasting fee since I went there on a Thursday. If one thing I not feel quite good, that might be the deposited ashes of the grape left in the glass. To leave the customer a better tasting experience, they could add a cap with filter on the top of the bottle of the wines, so those ashes of the grapes will not fall into the glass with the fluid.”

“I've been coming here over the past decade! One of the best Buffets. Its Clean, food is Fresh every batch they make runs out so they have cookers behind making some more hot food! A little bit of everything, salad bar, fruit dessert, Mexican, American, Asian. Everyday it is different foods they make to have variety. Its worth paying the $25. Fridays & Saturday, Approx $60, its seafood day so its expensive but still the good worth and quality. Sunday they have brunch about $40 bucks. I'd recommend it and tell you to believe me cuz my tastes buds work and the amount of years and recommendations I've made to others have brought lots here.”

“Great food & the best service :)”

“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. ♥️”

“I generally do not make recommendations for products or services, but Henry's Stake House is my exception. The restaurant is an excellent facility for a romantic dinner. The room is relatively small, and quiet and services was excellent. We arrived at our reservation time and were immediately escorted to our table. While I do not recall our server's name, she was excellent. The food was exceptional! Yes, I generally do not make recommendations for goods or services, but I will make a 5-star recommendation for Henry's Stake House!! Sincerely Earl Maciel”

“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 don't eat at Round Table often, but when I do I expect it to taste exactly how I remember. This location delivered. The pizza was great! Service was quick and friendly as well. I couldn't ask for more.”

“Great sushi, but make sure your ready to wait really long for it.”

“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!”

“So friendly! So welcoming! And so many different kinds of donuts to pick from. If you don’t want a donut, you can get a breakfast sandwich - there is something for everyone. 😊”

“Everything tastes as good as it looks. Packaging is professionally done. I’m a repeat offender. 😂👍🏾”

“delicious iced loaded coffee.”

“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!”

“Stopped in after date night with hubby. I got the mint chip Gelato he got the espresso gelato. We got a dark chocolate mousse cake piece to take home. They all were to die for! I will definitely be back. That mint and chip is perfect NEVER change it! Sat outside on a lovely evening 💙”

“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!”

“It was great! Loved the food coming back soon!!!!”

“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.”

“I stopped for lunch today and my burrito was promptly served, and was one of the best tasting that I've had in awhile. I also appreciated that the salsa was super fresh, and I noticed that the whole restaurant was very clean. I'll be sure to remember this place, when I'm working in the area.”

“Really good food. We loved our homade tortillas and the birria and siete mares was delicious! Staff was friendly. The atmosphere is ok. But if you just want some good food, it’s a good spot.”

“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!”

“Literally the best Chinese food maybe ever I’ve been coming here for every celebration my whole life this food tastes like success they are so passionate and genuine please please go they’re incredible and can’t be beat 💪”

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

“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.”

“Owner was incredibly nice, drinks were delicious and so was the food, with generous servings for the price. Ambiance of the whole shop was cute and clean. Owner went out of his way to be accommodating and was very personable, and everything I ordered was perfect with great boba texture and freshly made food; I'll be back.”

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

“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.”

“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”

“Great place to eat fantastic fish 😁”

“This place absolutely gets a thumbs up from me. The ingredients were of great quality, the food was prepared excellently, and the staff were as friendly as could be. If you're looking for crispy crust on a pizza that isn't burnt, this is the place to go!

My one and only complaint is that the atmosphere of the restaurant was a little bit run-down. Everything was serviceable, but just looked worn out. Unlike other places I've eaten, however, I genuinely do not feel like this issue is born out of a lack of care on the Staffs' side. They seem to really care about the location, and do the best with what they've got.

They deserve your support! Worth every penny.”

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

“I love the Honey Bear Latte”

“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..”

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

“This is such an incredible place to eat! You walk in the door and you are greeted like family, everything on the menu is tempting and the things I have tried are perfection!”

“I live in the area, and we eat here at least once a week! I had. Ever eaten Indian food before they opened up, now I am hooked. I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I DO know the food is quite delicious. ! The husband/owner is very proud of his wife’s cooking! I can see why! Aldo, amazingly nice people, they order stuff for me in the store, in 33 years of living here, no one has ever offered to do that, and then ACTUALLY DO IT! Thank you for being here, and choosing to be a part of our community!! Yay!!”

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

“the best peach and cake batter froyo i’ve ever had! prices were decent, and the worker was very friendly! it was nice that there were some board games there too”

“Cheese Blintz with Olliberries.”

“Greenhouse Cafe has amazing food! Their breakfast burritos are to die for! My mom said their fruit bowls are the best she's ever had by far! Everyone there is very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommend Greenhouse!”

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

“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”

“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.”

“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.🙂”

“Miss the winery. Thank your shipping !”

“This is the best taqueria in Placerville due to the kindness, cleanliness, and quality of food. They are always open it seems and busy so you know the good is freshly cooked. I love their fish tacos and melon aguafresca”

“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!”

“I don’t know where to begin writing this, we could not recommend Saureel Vineyards and their staff more! We had our wedding here and there are dozens of reasons why we chose this venue, and I could think of a million more reasons I would choose it again if I had to do it all over. The scenery is unmatched, there isn’t a corner that doesn’t have the perfect backdrop. You get to stay at the property two nights, and ability to extend your stay like we did… which is a small fraction of the cost if you were to book hotels/airbnbs elsewhere for your wedding weekend. We stayed for 4 nights and I can’t tell you how at ease and stress free we were able to remain because of that. That was priceless. Jordan and her staff are incredible, they stepped right in when error occurred and solved problems within an instant. There was never a moment where I was worried if the day was under control. They also answered all of my questions promptly throughout the entire process and were truly more than day of coordinators. The Lakehouse is the best place to host your closest people as you celebrate marrying your best friend. Plenty equipped to host, stay, and enjoy your wedding weekend at the very same place where all the festivities take place. Which is so so special. If I could give one piece of advice to future couples, it is to choose a venue that you can stay at for two or more days, and Saureel is the best place to do it! The value of this venue is immeasurable, and we can’t wait to stay at the Lakehouse VRBO in the future and reminisce our favorite day!!!”

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

“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”

“Great food friendly staff”

“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.”

“Amazing place! Had a great time.”

“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”

“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.”

“On our Lake Tahoe to San Francisco trip, we stopped at Iron Wok, Placer Ville. The service was fast, the food was delicious, and the reasonable prices exceeded our expectations – a perfect pit stop!”

“I love bagel works but they never get my order right. It's my fault for not checking after the first 3 wrong orders.
Luckily the food is great. But still. I do have a preference.
Staff today was not friendly as normal.”

“I ordered a cake from JoJo's for a large tea party of 16 people and was thrilled with how it turned out! I had not had any particular requests for how it should look, but she turned out a stunning and very delicious cake that everyone loved, with flourishes of little citrus flavored macarons. I would certainly order from this bakery again.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“We catered Dickeys for our wedding. The food was delicious and plenty of it for everyone. They delivered and set everything up for us. Highly recommend!!! Lots of compliments from our guests. Great price too!”

“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.”

“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!!”

“I drive by this place a ton of times. Kinda forgetting that Pizza Plus is tucked inside a small shopping complex on Missouri Flat Road, south of Highway 50, in Placerville. The pizzas are pretty darn good.

The pizzas are oven baked with fresh, quality fixings. Mmm. Simple, classic pizzas done right. The staff are the best. Friendly, helpful. They have a couple of dining areas. The place is kept super clean. No frills. Comfortable. It's locally owned by the same original owner for over 30 years. That's a testament right there.”

“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!!”

“Did a Spark delivery here today! The young lady was so kind, I had to leave a review! I had an amazing iced latte! Thank you for your kindness! It meant a great deal to me 💛”

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

“We always love eating here.”

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

“We absolutely love Pizza Factory in Placerville! My family and I come here often because my kids can’t get enough of the food and the fun, welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is always spotless, and the staff is incredibly friendly and attentive every single time.

Most recently, we used Pizza Factory for catering my son’s graduation party, and they went above and beyond. They delivered more than 20 items, everything arrived hot, fresh, and delicious. Communication was super easy, even though our house can be a little tricky to find, and they were so accommodating when we needed to add to our order last minute. Everything turned out perfect, and our guests raved about the food.

We couldn’t be happier with our experiences here. Highly recommend Pizza Factory Placerville”

“I have never had a bad experience at this location. Order is always correct, pizza is good, and the kids that work there are always super nice. Give them a tip 😁”

“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”

“My favorite Chinese restaurant in the county”

“Amazing food”

“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..”

“Stopped in on a rainy Friday to see the remodeled shop. It was clean and bright, and has been opened up nicely with the removal of a short wall running length of the seating area. The staff is not as friendly as many other locations; cordial but not engaging. It wasn’t a bad experience at all, but if you’re looking for service beyond the ordinary, this isn’t the place; its feel is more of a big-city Starbucks than a small-town coffee shop. On the positive side, I’ve never waited long for a drink here.”

“Great sandwiches good location next to Raleys in Modesto”

“I loved my breakfast burrito. It was big, reasonably priced, and piping hot. They have an awesome salsa bar, and a dessert selection that looks great. I'll stop in again on my next trip to Tahoe and try something else off of their extensive menu.”

“They are usually pretty quick with your order. I have never gotten an order that was wrong. The staff is friendly but seemed rushed because of the rush of orders sometimes.”

“Clean restaurant, the smell of Fabulosa follows me home🤣.
Everything is fresh and yummo. The chips and salsa Bar is phenomenal 💖. Always a fav on the way home after a weekend up the hill!”

“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.”

“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!”
