We stopped in for a quick lunch. I got a Reuben Sandwich - Made with thin Sliced Pastrami, Sauerkraut, Thousand Island Dressing, Swiss Cheese on Marble Rye. The sandwich was on dark rye, had about 3 layers of very thin pastrami and piled high with sauerkraut. See the picture, should be named the Sauerkraut Sandwich. Everyone else got burgers and they seem much smaller than the last time we were there. It wasn't horrible but pretty disappointing, there are not a lot of places to eat in Pollock Pines. I get things are getting expensive, up your prices and add a little meat. I zoomed in on the picture and there is hair on the sandwich. I never noticed it, when I ate it!

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

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.

Mushroom Burger w/ Sweet Potato Fries

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!

Blue burger

One of the best burgers I've got in a long time! I wish I lived closer lol Customer service was great!!

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!

This Safeway is beautifully tucked in this nestled beautiful area…read more We don't get out here much, but we do have family that lives out here and a lot of people come out here to go to Slyde Park or other places to go to the water and every single time I come in here everything in here is so well and neatly kept The aisles are huge, so you don't bump into anybody which I really like. I have been in here to buy stuff. I have been in here to use the restroom. I've never been treated differently. I've always been treated very kind and nice. I'm able to come in here and buy snacks and all the pricing is pretty good. They do have everything that every Safeway has which is really nice. You know what to expect you can get vegetables you can get meat. You can get all kinds of things and just because this is the only Safeway or grocery store in the area they don't have their prices raised in a super huge bracket which a lot of stores would do just because they're the only one in the neighborhood

I don't know what's going on but a lot of people have noticed some new people working in the deli…read more I'm not going into great detail about them but the males were arm wrestling and when they observed customers walk up to the counter they didn't want to help and told people they were going to have to come back because they were busy. One of them was very jittery and animated which portrayed he was on drugs. Safeway, there are better jobs for these type workers than handling people's food. Please make a change.

Perfect Spot for a Fall Day [Apple Hill|Camino CA]…read more The number of orchards in Apple Hill can be overwhelming that's why each year my eldest daughter always has a game plan to visit farms we haven't tried yet (and some repeat visits to our favorites) This was my first time at the Apple Ridge Farms. We spent most of our time here. There was a lot to do including an actual u-pick Apple orchard. Apple Ridge Farms is dog friendly. BBQ and Bakery with a full menu including sandwiches, salads and sides. They had a special on apple pies this weekend... $20 for a whole pie. Picnic Area - got our lunch and enjoyed it in the covered picnic area. Love their fries! Apple Barn - frozen pies, pastries, apple cider, fresh apples, Christmas boutique Country Store - filled with jams, jellies, fudge, chocolates, and great gift ideas Nature trail - visitors are able to choose between an easy trail and a not-so-easy trail. We chose the easy trail but I think they are both easy. Flower trail - unfortunately our visit was in early November and we missed when the flowers were in bloom. September would be the best time to visit and check out the colorful zinnias. Free to access. Gem mining - daughter has enjoyed this activity in other places since she was little. She's 23 now and still has fun with this experience. There is a fee for this activity. Pop ups Artisan Crafters - arts & crafts including wood works, handmade jewelry, handcrafted soaps and candles, paintings, dried nuts and fruits. Unique finds! Face painting - we did not do this activity due to time constraints but daughter had wanted one of Patrick Starr (SpongeBob Square Pants)... next time! Portable toilets are on-site.

Quaint and cozy!!…read more If you're looking for a warm, welcoming spot that truly feels like home, this family farm is an absolute treasure. The moment you arrive, you're greeted with kind, welcoming service and a cozy, family-friendly atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and enjoy your time. With both indoor and outdoor dining areas, fire pits crackling in the background, and a beautiful vineyard just steps away, the setting couldn't be more inviting. The food is nothing short of delicious. Their crème brûlée French toast is a must-try--rich, gooey, and perfectly caramelized. From hearty savory dishes like the tender pulled pork and comforting chicken pot pie to sweet indulgences like homemade cookies and an impressive array of fruit pies, every bite tastes fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and deeply satisfying. As a bonus, the farm is conveniently located near Grandpa's Cellar and Apple Ridge Farm, making it the perfect stop during a day of local exploring. Whether you're visiting with family, meeting friends, or simply looking for a relaxing getaway with incredible food, this farm delivers a unique experience. Other: -$$$$ -available bathrooms out back -Plenty of parking, but one of the smaller lots -tap pay available -neighbors to grandpa cellar and apple ridge farms -not to busy the week of Thanksgiving

My coworker brought me onto this place and she didn't steer me wrong!! I think the star of the show…read morefor this place was definitely the customer service and the raspberry apple pie with the ice cream! Sounds like it would be a bunch of flavors but they just marry. The chicken pot pie was hot and fresh and busting with chicken and flavors. The grilled cheese had a nice crunch but I would probably change the ham to one that was a little less sweet. Drew bean has indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of options with shade. They also have a little porch area for seating. Nurses and military personnel are given a discount!
