The sandwich was made on old bread; it crumbled every time I took a bite of my sandwich. I wanted it grilled, but I was so rushed in placing my order it didn’t get it grilled. It was just a bad experience.

These are fantastic sandwiches! I was searching for a pastrami like my grandmother used to make. This is the only place in town that serves them. The Angry Irishman, goes above & beyond pastrami. Love this place!

The bird sandwich is a simple, yet sly, chicken breast sandwich on a French roll. The French roll was so simple, plastic, not warm, not hot, not toasted - just a plain old bread with some aioli sauce, a couple of peppers, and a couple of purple onions, nothing to write home about. I ate it because I was hungry. Still, it was not worth it not to come back to this joint anymore; the only thing good about this place is the beer.

The Italian meat sandwich was mediocre had hardly any meat no produce. The grilled cheese for the kids was actually really good. They enjoyed it. The red trolley beer is really good..

Stop here about once a month on my way through Placerville. The sandwiches are good. A few days ago I was on my way up to Tahoe and was very hungry and on a time crunch because I had dogs in the car (running with ac on blast and another human in the car but still), so I decided to call it in for pickup and just eat on the fly. My first attempt at calling the line picked up and then was hung up. I called back and got answering service that instructed the caller to place an online order if they got that message during business hours. So I followed their instructions and made an online order, and I made the order early so it would be ready by the time I arrived.
When we arrived they weren’t that busy, but the woman working the front had no food ready for me. She then proceeded to tell me they were getting too many calls so she turned the phone off (I must have been the last call because she picked up and hung up on me and I got the message right after). So I explained I made the order online and she proclaims “oh we don’t even check those”.
Basic common sense, customer-oriented service would not have an outgoing message saying to make online orders for a system they don’t check. It’s such an inconvenience for customers. And it’s inexcusable in this day and age.
Thankfully someone in the back came out and made my sandwich quickly but for gosh sakes don’t accept someone’s money and then have no intention of making the food.
For the record it was a good sandwich. Xx

We went there on our way to Tahoe. We've got the most awful food poisoning. That was 2 years ago, and my husband and I still talk about it on a regular basis. This place was the ONLY place we had eaten that day. Hopefully they are being less gross while prepping the food. I remember seeing them and how dirty everything looked (even themselves) but giving them a chance cause they had good reviews. Big mistake, HUGE. Never coming back but I don't wish other clients to get sick as we did.

Food and service was mediocre at best and expensive. This was my first visit and I have no reason to return. Difficult to see how this business is an award winner.

Best pastrami I have ever had hands down!
Warm friendly staff from the cashier to the back of house wore a genuine smile.. My new favorite place to eat in Placerville!

We have actually never been to Melters, and after going today, I have no idea why! The wide variety of sandwiches made it very difficult for us to order. Every one of them looked absolutely amazing.. We ordered a couple of sandwiches that the very nice gal working at the register recommended. Boy, she was spot on! They were absolutely delicious. The amount of meat, cheese and produce was satisfying. So fresh and delicious.
I can honestly say all the other sandwich shops in town don't compare.
My only wish is they had more indoor seating when the weather is warm. But that won't stop us from returning. I can see why this place earned best sandwich shop! Hands-down gourmet. 💕

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.
