We had the hot honey pepperoni pizza (small) the spinach bites, the chips and onion dip. For drinks we had the hard seltzer/cider in a four pour flight and a new one (just made the tap today) the party Steve (it's a hazy). Food: Hot honey pizza loaded with toppings (all seemed like quality ingredients)-YUM! A little spicy for some but perfect for me! The spinach bites-looked like a mini pizza and served with the most delicious dipping sauce. The onion dip and chips-chips your "normal" kettle chips and the dip? Fresh and great!!! Also loved my hard ciders/seltzers! And that hazy-really smooth for a hazy and delicious. Definitely want to come back and try some more of their offerings. Our server was friendly and efficient. The food expediters were also very pleasant. We chose to sit inside today and the atmosphere was very chill. There is also a huge outdoor sitting area which many patrons were taking advantage of today.

July 30, 2026 the spouse and I went to an estate sale in Pollock Pines today and came down into…read morePlacerville for lunch before heading home. We were headed to a place I was familiar with and while going down Main Street saw Burning Barrel. I quickly hoped on their website and rattled off a few items and we pulled into the closest parking lot and made our way over. The restaurant was empty of guests and the young man at the counter was welcoming, asking if this was our first visit, and showed us the food and drink menu and the board of current craft beers. I chose the Longhorn (tri tip) sandwich and fries and a Lillikoi Mai Tai, and the spouse chose the Pastrami Sandwich and a beer called Dank. They do not do table service so after ordering we grabbed a seat. This is a pretty large open space with an outdoor patio, several roll up doors and misters at the outside. Shortly after sitting down a server came over with our meals. I started with a french fry, and I have to say these are the best french fries I have ever had, in my life time. I don't know if its the way they cut the fries, the way they are seasoned, what they are fried in or all of the above, but they were delicious! Our sandwiches were outstanding! Both were incredibly flavorful and filling, and even after I was full I continued eating because everything tasted SO GOOD. The drinks were excellent too, so good that we ordered a second round. The young man at the counter also made my mai tai and did an excellent job. About halfway into our meal other guests started to arrive and by the time we left there were at least 4-5 parties of guests in the restaurant. I will absolutely return, and highly recommend Burning Barrel. I was also pleased to see that they have a Rancho Cordova location, which is a little closer to my home in the Valley. Thank you Burning Barrel for the excellent food, drinks and customer service! You made our great day even better!

To start off, the nectars are very good. When they do make it, the dark blue milk is EXCELLENT. The…read moreother beers are decent. As for food: the fries are cooked perfectly, and the pretzel, is a good pretzel. The cheese sauce is trash. It is so bland and even grainy, there was no point consuming it. The mustard was much better. Now the important part for safety: All the napkins and utensils are inside. They bring the food to your table but you are expected to get those other things. I was here alone and did not plan ahead. I did not feel safe leaving my drink and food alone outside, so I could go inside to get a napkin. So I will probably try this place again but there are some issues.

A Relaxing Beer Garden with Live Music, Games & Picnic-Friendly Vibes!…read more Parking: Free limited street parking. The ambiance is casual and laid-back. You'll see people biking here (there's a bike parking area), bringing their dogs (the brewery provides dog treats and water bowls), and enjoying live music. There are several seating areas to choose from: * Outdoor covered seating near the food truck * Indoor seating with air conditioning * Outdoor covered seating by the live music * Additional outdoor seating close to the stage Restrooms: Two clean, well-maintained stalls with air conditioning. One of my favorite things is that you're welcome to bring your own picnic! They also offer a 15% discount for military members and first responders. Other nice touches include a phone charging station and plenty of outdoor games like cornhole, giant Connect Four, ping-pong, and bocce ball. I especially loved the cozy fire pits. For drinks, they have 24 taps plus wine, kombucha, cider, and hop water, so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the atmosphere: it's a great place where people gather to listen to live music, sip a beer, grab something from the food truck, or simply enjoy a picnic with friends and family. If you're looking for a fun, welcoming beer garden, I highly recommend this place!

Both couples in our party were sharing salad then main course with our partners, she had the salads split and brought spare plates for the entree. Two birthdays are the reason we went here. The meal was excellent. Only thing is though, I had looked up the menu here in Yelp and it listed the stuffed zucchini in the online menu you would order from for door dash. And that item was no longer available. Shame. It sounded so good and the reason I chose this restaurant. Birthday dessert needed to go home with us even though we as couples had shared the meals, there was food in abundance and no room for the treat! Our server wrote happy birthday on the handled bag and on the box and included birthday candles. So sweet!

I love my tart, vinegar, lemon, capers, and pickled stuff....hubby....eh..not so much. So I ordered German Meatballs and my lovely pretzel with beer cheese. The meatballs are meaty, potatoes are the real deal, mashed and with gravy poured on top! Hubby ordered the beef brisket with spatzle. The brisket was tender and the spatzle was quite mac n cheesy, using gouda as the cheese of choice. So I am loving my lovely pretzel and mustard, loving his brisket and spatzle, and loving my german meatballs. Good heavens this place was made for me! Hubby on the other hand is not a fan of tart or cheesy. So he is less than satisfied. In order to rectify this problem I order the Haus Plate with the sweinschnitzel and mashed potatoes and gravy. It comes with sauerkraut, rotkohl, and seasonal veggies (sauerkraut and rotkohl on the side). The beer of choice is hefeweizen, it goes well with the tang of the dijon mustard. Hubby wasn't a fan of the orange notes. Hubby did appreciate the sweinschnitzel and seasonal veggies though. Hooray! I love coming here and will continue my patronage!! Also a fun little trivia night took place at the end of our meal. We participated and got quite a few answers right. Cool beans!

Please read this managers. I haven't been there since about the time that this place opened and we…read morewent the other day. September 2026. What we noticed was it took a while for somebody to see us and there was nobody at the tables and only about six people at the bar on a Friday night at about 6 PM. In no way am I doing this review to be mean. If you're running a restaurant and on Friday night, you're not packed that's a serious red flag because all your effort should be going towards filling those stables during the week because Friday and Saturday are a given. So we can already established that that's a serious issue. Second thing that we noticed is that it was overstaffed, and a majority of the staff was just hanging out towards the back room, talking and everything and then back over by the bar away from the customers they were talking for most of the time because there's too many staff there. We ordered a pretzel. Pretzel was awesome. Very well prepared. The beer cheese was mediocre. Need to rethink on how to display and prepare the sauces or mustard for those pretzels. That's the weakness there because serving them in two cold stainless steel cups just isn't doing it plus the sauces didn't match the level of the pretzel. We then ordered a beet salad. First big issue. It wasn't really a beet salad. It was regular salad taken from a bag. You could tell by looking at all the cut ends they were all browned over. It's really not that difficult to order in salad and cut it right before you serve it. But the salad hardly had any beets at all. Next was schnitzel. That was cooked very good. The meat itself was a little bit tough like it had been frozen. Other than that, it would've been superior. In a little bowl next to it with some kind of pasta with cheese bits in it. As my wife had mentioned, and I agreed it looked like it was pasta that was just destroyed into little pieces and then cheese mixed in. Doesn't look good. We could tell that the chef tried to do a good job with it, but the way it was presented was the bad part. Now let's get to the worst part of it. The red Kraut didn't taste good at all and it's like it had no seasoning at all. We didn't even eat more than a bite out of it. It wasn't worth having. The regular sauerkraut that we had on the other side of the plate had no caraway seeds no seasoning it just tasted like pickled cabbage and sour. Although that may sort of be like what it's supposed to be like it's a restaurant and I'll be honest and I'm not saying this to be mean but I could get better out of a jar. That plate should not come with sauerkraut. It should come with fries that are cut in the kitchen right before it's prepared. The other dishes that we saw on the menu were not very fantastic at all. We didn't have the burger, but I would keep that on the menu. So really needs to sit down with the menu and not just think that you need to have German food but you need to do a competitive analysis because you need to know what the restaurants are serving that are surviving like downtown. German food generally has a real issue in the United States surviving and if you don't get this menu right you're gonna wind up going out of business. I would bet you're losing thousands every month right now. I know you don't wanna see this as a review, but I'm trying to save you. The reason why I'm trying to save you is because I could tell that the chef did some things right that I don't often come across like preparing stuff the right way, like the pretzel and the schnitzel. That told me you have some talent back there. I would also put something in between the bar area and the eating area and I would also change the benches out and put some kind of tables. Yes, I'm German and I get the tables, but this is America and I'm sure you're trying to make money. You can take all of our ideas and opinions and throw them in the garbage or you can use them and succeed. This was our experience.

However it's not a great way to treat tourists spending money in your town or people who are new to the area. Just get cameras and maybe limit your alcohol sales to people who are clearly over served. Other than that the food is delicious and pretty much the only place to eat in Amador City so I recommend giving it a try. 3 starts only because the hospitality vibe.

Headline: Another great brewery in Rancho Cordova!…read more Location: Located off sunrise blvd, is this unassuming brewery. I say that because when I entered I thought I was coming into a small little brewery but was suprised to find a pretty big place. Not only does it have the a bunch of seating areas to the side but they have a large open space in the back. Of course it was a cloudly day so we opted to stay inside. This place has a nice vibe with different seating areas and smaller areas if you want to stay away from the crowd. They also have some single seats and an area with a bunch of different games. Really suprised at how big this place is. Service: The beertender was very helpful letting us try out different drinks and providing some information on what we might lake based on taste. We didn't get too much interaction after we served our drinks but it was a good interaction and means we were able to get our drinks real quick. Drinks: I ended up getting the coffee stout made from Kingdom Coffee Roaster beans and was suprised about how light it was. I couldn't resist once I actually tasted it. While not a dark rich stout it still had a creamy light finish and honestly was something that I would order again. Defintely a place worth checking out if breweries are your thing!
