    Vegan, plant based, beyond burger with guacamole and jalapeños, added.
    Athonia C.

    well, this is a pleasant treat here at the 4000 foot elevation of Pollock Pines along the historic pony express Trail. It's an independently owned burger slang'n business that has all the good stuff. Best of all for you plant based soy nugget huggers like me. They have a Beyond Burger that's top notch. Order this up with guacamole and jalapeño if you're a Hot One. cholula hot sauce is available too. The patio here is what i like the best. Theres a shade structure, huge plants and hella room for you and your menagerie of emotional support animals. Peep the photos. now git it!

    If you haven't eaten at Burger Barn in Pollock Pines, you're really missing out--not just on the food, but the whole vibe. I had a juicy, flavorful hamburger, my cousin went big with a double bacon cheeseburger, and my dad tore through his Philly cheesesteak like it owed him money. My aunt got the grilled chicken salad with cheddar and ranch--and I don't even like ranch, but it looked so good I almost stole a bite. We sat outside on the patio under canvas shades and blooming wisteria. The sun was warm, the air was crisp, and the whole place just had this relaxed, timeless charm. You order inside and the super friendly staff brings your food out to you. It's the kind of spot that makes you want to stay a little longer. Right off Main Street next to the True Value hardware store, it's surrounded by trees and mountain air. The whole place feels like a little slice of peace with amazing burgers. Whether you're finishing a hike or just grabbing a bite with family, this spot hits the mark.

    Burger and fries

    We came here on Saturday afternoon because the people at the gate of the Sly Park recreation area recommended eating here. I had a black and blue burger with fries and a soda. Unfortunately, the soda machine was having issues and the soda tasted not nearly sweet enough and not nearly carbonated enough. The fries unfortunately were overcooked. The burger was good. The service was excellent, and the people were friendly.

    My friends and I stopped by Burger Barn after a 5.5-mile hike--starving and in need of a solid, protein-packed meal. This was my first visit, and I was pleasantly surprised! The place is small and cozy. We were the only ones there and got seated right away. Our server was friendly, attentive, and even asked if we needed separate checks up front (huge plus!). I'm gluten-free and don't eat beef, so I ordered a custom turkey burger on a gluten-free bun with jalapeños, mushrooms, onions, Swiss and pepper jack cheese, plus steak fries and a side salad. The salad was fresh and a good size, though the ranch tasted like standard bottled dressing. The burger was flavorful, cheesy, and satisfying, and the gluten-free bun (a $3.50 upcharge) was soft and held up perfectly--totally worth it. The restroom situation was a bit hit-or-miss--one clean, one dirty--but overall, a solid experience. Great comfort food and friendly service made this a spot I'd come back to after a hike in the area!

    Bacon Blue Burger

    Yummmm! Stopped in for lunch on our way to do some Ice House camping and it was delicious! It's located right off Pony Express Trail and they have a cute shaded patio area that is dog friendly. You can order inside or at the patio window. We ordered the Chili Fries, Bacon Blue Burger, Western Bacon Cheeseburger and the Kids Chicken Nuggets. Everything was so good! The burgers were flavorful and I loved the crispy burger buns! The Chili Fries were huge and the chili was great as well. We also ordered Peanut Butter and Oreo milkshakes that hit the spot on this triple digits day! Overall, this place is a must. Service was super friendly and you can tell that they take a lot of pride in their business! We'll definitely be back the next time we're in town! Check them out!

    Good food, came out hot. Burgers are good on size and tasty. We were seated quickly and given time to order. Food is cooked fresh, so it takes some time. 1 less star due to size of fries. We ordered a large but for $7 , it looked like a happy meal size amount.

    Chilling waiting for my stuffed burger master piece to be created.  Special foods takes patience Yelpstars.

    Wonderful hole in the wall that was walking distance from where we were staying in the town of Pollock Pines. If you're thinking where in the world is Pollock Pines?...well it's near Apple Hill where they bake the 5 star pies, apple turnovers, and I can consume everything my parents used to deny me as a young little chunk. Rolled into the Burger Barn and the two ladies working the Barn gladly assisted me even though one was still on her break. Ordered up one STUFFED bacon and cheese burger with waffles and one small chocolate shake. Let me tell you folks...A+ burger and real milkshakes made real with pride. Never seen a stuffed burger on a menu before so Chris G had to pound it! The burger, waffles, and milkshake was a great meal and I'm so glad I went to the Burger Barn. There's not a lot of options in this town, but this is an amazing one. Can't wait to return to the Burger Barn.

    Great burgers! I got blue bacon burger because I love bacon, but I'm not a blue cheese person in general so I had my doubts. The burger was so good! The blue cheese blended into the rest of the burger very well and was not overpowering at all. Very nice surprise along our trip to Lake Tahoe!

    Stewart P.

    Might be the best burger in El Dorado County! Plenty of seating inside and outside. The menu has many options, but I went with the straight forward burger and fries!

    6/22/2023:  I ordered a stuffed Swiss mushroom bacon cheddar burger-FIRST ANYWHERE OF ITS KIND!

That's what I always have my mom make me for my birthday and *shhhhhh* don't tell her that this is better??? We were surprised to find out that there was a German place so close to us.

Everybody ordered something different and we all got to sample back-and-forth and we ordered enough so we would have stuff to take home and that was a pretty easy thing to do because the sizes of the plates are so big! And the value is really good too!! if you look at our pictures, the cod that we ordered is the small plate in the Wienerschnitzel is also a small plate! I had half a plate left on my beef stroganoff and we had half a plate left of the chicken Cordon Bleu because it was just so !! I almost felt like I was at the Matterhorn at Disneyland because this place is cute and classic at the same time and I feel like I'm taking a little bit of Germany home with me so excited to find this place We will be coming back for more because it's finding a little place in my heart that needed filling!!!

The inside had that small town diner feel which I always like. Huge food portions! We ordered the Chorizo Breakfast Burrito, Pancake, Scrambled Eggs and Bacon plus a 2 Eggs plate with Hash-Browns and Bacon with a side of Biscuits and Gravy. All the food was pretty good, we really liked the bacon and pancake, but the potatoes were under seasoned and the biscuits were a bit hard for my taste. The downside was our server was very slow, she would disappear randomly and there were other tables that came in after us who got their food first. Also, when she brought the bill and then ran my card, the receipt that came out was $5 more. The taxes and service charge weren't added until my card was ran which I thought was odd and I was bit annoyed that it wasn't on my original bill. Plus, I was charged $1.50 for the Biscuits and Gravy and nowhere on their menu does it state that there is an extra charge. The menu lists toast or biscuits and gravy...would there have been an additional cost if I would have picked toast instead? The only reason I am not rating lower is because of the decent food, but this place should definitely put the additional price for biscuits and gravy and the full bill amount should be listed the first time. This all rubbed me the wrong way, so we probably won't be back.
