    My husband and I absolutely love this place. Firehouse cafe is a small and cozy restaurant that serves breakfast all hours they are open, which is really nice because I always want breakfast at lunch time. The food is amazing and so is the service! The owners are very kind and always attentive. They won't let you run out of water or coffee :) My favorite dishes are the Tijuana tortilla, breakfast burrito, French toast a l'orange, and the 2 pancake breakfast (choose bacon or sausage and eggs your style). They cook the eggs perfectly too. Not overdone like most restaurants and not under done. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Firehouse Cafe!

    Absolutely fantastic place to eat! The owner and his wife are amazing people! Friendly atmosphere, homemade food, and wonderful conversation. I highly recommend you stop in and try their breakfast, or lunch! I took my two sons and their friend two weeks ago. This spot is a local gem! A must try if passing through the Placerville, Diamond Springs, and Pollock Pines area!

    We stopped here for breakfast burritos and yes they were the best in the county I'd say. Kind family establishment. Service was good.

    $10 for a $15 breakfast burrito? No way! But yes, it's true, and it is the BEST Breakfast Burrito in the County! I bought one to go (see image below) but was soon overwhelmed by the delicious aroma. Needles to say, my burrito for lunch time at work, quickly turned into my burrito for the commute to work. Note to self: Next time order two.

    I've only had them through door dash, so I can't say how the actually restaurant is, but their food was great! I love their French toast!

    Visited Poor Red's to try their happy hour special from 3 pm to 6 pm Wednesday' through Friday…read more Naturally, I had to try to Golden Cadillac and I'm glad I did. It was creamy, vibrant and chilly. Red's appears to specialize in blended ice cocktails. I also tried the Grasshopper which walks perfectly minty, creamy and sweet. For food I tried the flank steak sliders and the coleslaw. The coleslaw was notable with a touch of paprika on top that was different and a good contrast to the sweet drinks. The sliders could be better. They came out piping hot on a series of Hawaiian rolls. The steam from the meat dissolves the buns a bit so it was more of a knife and fork situation. The dried crispy onions were a nice touch. Excellent service from both bartenders and friendly conversation with the locals who frequent the bar. Overall, I'd highly recommend, especially fo the historical aspect. The building was constructed in the 1800s and originally served as a Wells Fargo weighing station before being converted to a bar.

Unfortunately, something has changed in the kitchen and noticebly different after our last 3 visits. Burgers appear to be frozen and possibly grilled over wood as advertised and DEFINATELY over- seasoned and salted. Still lack natural flavor, smoke and overcooked regardless of preferance . Also ribs are dry and reheated. I would not reccomend either entry! Something positive, service and golden cadilacs are good. Please get your kitchen in order and be great again

They do not, however they do something called a "fast pass" which basically means they put your name down and if you arrive while there's a wait, you get seated before anyone else who is waiting and does not have a fast pass. Kind of a different approach. I was glad that when we arrived, there wasn't anyone else waiting and there were tables available. Service was very attentive and friendly. He took our drink orders and allowed us some time to decide what to eat. Hubs and I both debated between multiple options- a lot sounded so good- but we both decided on the filet mignon. On the menu, it indicated that the dish comes with a béarnaise sauce; my husband really doesn't care for tarragon so he requested a substitution of their mushroom rosemary sauce instead (which is offered with their ribeye), and they happily obliged. The meal also included Yukon mashed potatoes and veggies. Our food was delivered soon after and I was pleasantly surprised that not only were our steaks still very warm but that they were cooked a perfect medium rare. The quality of the steaks was great, they were nice and thick. The veggies were, for the most part, overdone and a bit soggy, but that's not something that bothers me too much. The potatoes had good flavor but could have used much more milk/cream as they were pretty dry and firm. The experience was a good one and I would definitely return if we lived closer. I liked that their menu had a lot to offer- this is a good place for a family who has various tastes. Shout out to our server, Carver, who was great and provided very good service.
