I was hesitant to try this spot at first, but now it is a weekly staple! The sandwiches are amazing. They always have rotating beers on tap for me to try out new brews,
I have even dissected their menu and have started coming up with my own variations. While most places may groan when I make complicated orders, the people here have never given me grief about it. Even to go so far as to make some suggestions to further expand on what I attempt to come up with. And it is always made exactly how I envisioned. This is also one of the few places on main street with easy and ample parking no matter what vehicle I am in. Locally owned. Locally maintained. This place makes me feel right at home.

Great local family owned restaurant! Best sandwich and beer in town!

Amazing sandwiches! I’ve never had a bad experience ever. Every single beer is top notch, all of the employees are friendly and helpful. Fun atmosphere with great music! The wife and I love to sit on the patio, enjoy our sandwiches and beers, and watch the world go by. If you ever are in the area, this is a MUST STOP. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

Absolutely the best sandwiches around! My go to is the little Philly, best French dip sandwich I’ve ever had! I like to add crispy onions and garlic Mayo, makes it Scrumdiddlyumptious. Also dog friendly on the patio, which is awesome.

The Main Street Melters – A Must-Stop in Placerville
Heading upHighway 50 on our anniversary and husband’s birthday celebrate and fishing trip along Highway 395, we stumbled upon this little gem in the heart of historic downtown Placerville. The Main Street Melters is a funky, welcoming sandwich shop right on the corner of Main Street—perfect for people-watching and soaking up the small-town charm from their great outdoor patio.
I ordered the Cali Club, which came wrapped in two hearty halves—plenty to save one for later. My husband had The Rancher, also a double meat sandwich, and it was so big they automatically wrapped half to-go. At $15.50, these are generous, high-quality sandwiches—and totally worth it. Don’t let the price throw you off—there are more affordable options on the menu, too.
What really stands out is the quality. Every ingredient tasted fresh—from the crisp produce to the local bread that was clearly just baked. They use Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, freshly sliced, and you can absolutely taste the difference. These aren’t your average deli sandwiches—they’re elevated, flavorful, and made with care.
They also offer tacos, fresh salads, and a rotating tap list since it doubles as a beer spot. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the whole vibe was relaxed and welcoming.
We’ll definitely be back—next time, we’re grabbing a few sandwiches to take down to the river and share. If you’re passing through Placerville, make this your go-to lunch stop. You won’t be disappointed.

I tried their Loaded Irishmen today - Corned beef, pastrami, Havarti, cream cheese, and caramlized onions on marble rye. It was AWESOME!!! You will NOT regret it! 😋 🥰 I also enjoyed the outdoor dining area. Nice people, family-owned. Next time I'm in town, I'll coming here.

Great customer service, hometown feel, regulars in the house, and sandwiches are unique and tasty. Had the TAD, yes please! Turkey is REAL and not processed, sauces were good, avacodos soft and fresh, and the bread was easy to eat with good crunch. Definitely check this spot out if you're in the area.

This place is delicious! Our favorite sandwiches are The Angry Irishmen and The Loaded Irishman. Usually very fast service and quality ingredients. If you want to enjoy the atmosphere of downtown Placerville they have a wonderful patio as well. The smoothies are also excellent! If you are looking for a delicious grilled sandwich look no further!
$50 for three sandwiches, super slow service, unimpressive sandwiches... ??

Don’t order online? usually their food is amazing but I tried to order a turkey sandwich and filled out the order online and they gave me the opposite of what I asked for and didn’t add any of the extra things I paid for :(

Outside looks good. I got lured with the boarhead signs. Once inside, it took 35 minutes to get 2 sandwhiches. That is the longest I have ever waited for sandwhiches. They did not have orders ahead. They forgot the pickles on the side, we stood in the fronglt and we were ignored up front, and the host sounded dismisive before apologizing to forget. We felt very unwelcomed, suggesting its a local spot.. I can forgive food quality bur never bad service, beware.. sandwhiches were mediocore.

Came in for the first time today, been on the hunt for a good sandwich shop since moving home, and I’m impressed! They were somewhat slow since it’s the end of the day and middle of the work week, but I can tell the energy here is great! There were a few others that I assume are regulars because of the way staff was chatting with them and they chatted among each other. I work in the industry and the way owners and staff interact with locals and regulars says a lot for me! Great impression. Laid back and tasty. I got the “hot ace” and loved it! Bread was soft even after being toasted, veggies are fresh, and the chicken was tender and tasty. Also a huge fan of the beer selection. Will be back to try more soon!
