“For months I would stop and read the menu but just couldn’t bring myself to try one their “concoctions”. That was my loss. I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone trying several of their master pieces and have not been disappointed once. This place is like the Disney Epcot of sandwich shops. Ready for an American classic, the biscuits and gravy sandwich might be their simplest sandwich but I’m salivating right now just thinking about it. The gravy is top three I’ve ever had, if not the best. Ready for a trip south of the border, the enchiladas suizas sandwich might be my favorite so far (minus the sour cream). The addition of the chips might seem like something my kid would do, but don’t think this sandwich would be same without them. The salsa verde rivals anything I’ve had at any Mexican restaurant. Looking for something a little on the sweet side then give the honey walnut prawns a try, and continue down the Asian fusion path with the pot sticker cheese burger. I could go on but just know your trip around the culinary world doesn’t stop there. Don’t like to travel, no problem, the cheese burger will more than get the job done. Fair warning, they have a lot of fun and work their butts off, but on busy days there can be a bit of a wait so take some time and enjoy all Main Street has to offer. It will be more than worth it.“

“We've probably been there dozens of times since our last review, but it's time to reassure everyone that The Brick Oven Pub in Placerville California is still one of our "go to" places! It is a wonderful blend of a neighborhood pub and a family friendly restaurant. The food is excellent, the beer and wine selection is broad, and the entire staff is bright, sharp, friendly and attentive. After all of these years (since the day it opened), The Brick Oven Pub retains the coveted "Ben & Gigi Gay Seal of Approval"! Give it a try!“

“Enjoyed a late lunch here on our drive back from Lake Tahoe to the Bay Area. Didn't get to try their Lobster Bisque since they were out (Friday ~2pm), but our daughter loved their clam chowder. The Baked Brie was so delicious - served with warm bread, dried fruit, grilled onions and truffles. It was gone within a few minutes! For our mains, the crab cake sliders were fine, nothing spectacular. But their Salmon Salad was a hit! The salmon was cooked just right, not too dry, with a lightly sweet, refreshing dressing. I wish I could bottle up the dressing and take it home! We'll definitely be coming back when we're in town again.“

“This place gives you a sense of a historic feeling, hang town USA....the ambiance is awesome, it takes you back in time momentarily. The restaurant has an entrance to the bar, the bar is the same back in the 1900's just amazing. The service is even better, the waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. We ordered the chicken sandwich with mushrooms. The sandwich was topped with pesto and cheese, with a soft brioche bread, the taste was phenomenal, must try. You have your option of potatoe chips or tater tots, we got the tots, it was a bit on the overcooked side. We also ordered the Bratwurst sandwich, the Dijon spread was overwhelming but very tasty. It is also topped with your choice of tater tots or chips.. I definitely would come back possible for happy hour, the ambiance alone is worth coming back, it also has a pool table, adults only for that.. I was very impressed overall !“

“The food was delicious and the atmosphere was appropriate to the food. They had country music playing which seemed to go with the barbecue. I had the spicy jalapeno cheddar sausage sandwich and my husband had the loaded baker (potato ?). His potato was huge. He couldn't eat it all. I would recommend Dickey's to anyone craving good barbecue.“

“Good food, great service! My husband and I were walking main on a Friday night looking for a place to eat. After attempting a couple other places that were packed and being ignored we walked into Franny’s. We were acknowledged (wow) and given a spot upstairs over looking the street. It was cozy and not super loud. Our server was fantastic! The half chicken with chipotle sauce and sweet potato was amazing! Just a hint of spice against that sweet potato. So good. We also got the chocolate mousse for dessert. It was sweeter than expected but delicious. We will definitely be back.“

I had their Lavender Green Tea iced no sweetener and a mini egg burrito. It's very small so perfect for a snack. Only bummer was there was hardly any egg, mostly potatoes and sausage. Nice mild salsa gave it the flavor it needed. I would recommend but maybe ask for extra egg? Service was quick and friendly! I would definitely come back!“

Today we ended up ordering a little bit of everything from fried green tomatoes to a Santa Fe turkey melt working our way through a white chocolate mousse infused with port wine and indulged on a Tito‘s flight.As always, everything was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend bricks when you’re in the Placerville area.Parking: There is limited street parking but there is also a few lots to park in. I’ve never had an issue finding parking.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Golden Waffle Cafe in Placerville, and I must say, it was a fantastic experience. I ordered the California omelet, and I can confidently say that it was one of the best omelets I've ever had. The combination of avocado, tomato, and melted cheese was simply divine, and the eggs were cooked to perfection. The potatoes that accompanied the omelet were seasoned just right, providing a delightful contrast in texture and flavor.The atmosphere of the cafe was cozy and inviting, with a friendly staff that made me feel welcome from the moment I walked in. The service was prompt, and the waitstaff was attentive without being intrusive. I particularly appreciated the attention to detail, such as the fresh flowers on the tables and the personalized greetings from the owners.Overall, I would highly recommend The Golden Waffle Cafe to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal in Placerville. The food is top-notch, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. I give The Golden Waffle Cafe a well-deserved 5-star rating, and I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings.“

“I have ordered burgers to go from Bones Roadhouse on my last two trips to the Placerville, CA area. Both times the burgers were cooked and topped exactly as requested and ready when promised. The location appears to be a typical roadside local spot, and that's exactly what drew me to it. They pack each item in its own bag so it's easy to identify every person's order without having to open each burger. The burgers are juicy and delicious (you'll need extra napkins) and the fries and onion rings are both great as well. Next time I will try eating in and have one of their specialty cocktails, all of which sounded amazing.“

“This burger joint is close to my home, so I have been a regular consumer. One favorite was the Chinese Chicken salad. Their limited hours makes it tough to eat there. They take no orders after 6:30 pm and close the indoor seating early as well. Recently, they raised their prices significantly. At these rates I would rather eat at a nicer place such as the Tap House or Brick Oven Pub.“
