    This place doesn't miss! Was in Sierra city for 48 hours and had six milkshakes. Would go back…read moreagain with the sole purpose of going to this eatery. These are the best milkshakes you will get on the Pacific Crest Trail, hands-down. They have a multitude of flavors, including fresh fruit and berries, they are the perfect consistency, and they are only $10! It's actually a steal. The chicken sandwich was juicy, burgers were delightful, and onion rings were crunchy. I literally have no feedback.

    I was going to stop for lunch down the road in Downieville, but the town was absolutely swamped…read morewith people, because of a big bike race this weekend. I'm glad it actually worked out that way, because this place was absolutely amazing! Such a cool little country store. Groceries, drinks, beer, snacks, some hardware, toiletries a small wine/liquor section in the back, and a great little deli. There were cute signs all over the walls. I decided to try a cup of "luau Larry's. not so famous homemade chili." The very nice and friendly lady working in the store said that "luau Larry" is her husband. Let me tell you, he makes an amazingly fine chili.... For a 'cup" of chili, it was huge! I enjoyed it very much. I found out that the chili is made with ribeye! It was delicious. It was Hearty, it had a deep rich flavor, and it had a nice little "kick" to it. Well, within what I like for spicy. The lady in the store did tell me that Larry "tweaks" the recipe a little bit from time to time, but she says it's always a great chili. I do not doubt that at all. She asked me if I wanted cheese and onions, and I said, of course! I love fresh purple onions. They are both sweeter and milder than the white or yellow onions. They really added to the chili, as did the cheese. The chili and a soda ran me about 11 bucks. A little bit high, sure, but this is a tiny town up in the middle of the mountains. I get it. Besides, for the quantity and quality, it was worth every single penny. I would come back just for another cup of that chili. Thanks.

    This says I'm Grass Valley dunno why but I'm speaking from 18 years living in Dutch Flat going to…read morethe Trading Post and ABE has been the only owner. I'm here to say the only bad one star review from I dunno who, but not listed as from DF should be ignored. ABE has been the only owner I have ever known in the past 18 years - he is dedicated to this town, to this community. The pricing is posted and more than fair - he is here rain shine or massive snow. If power is out he is STILL here to serve our community and he is well loved throughout. If you're ever lucky enough to see Dutch Flat and shop in this circa 1800's Trading Post - you will savor the experience, this little store and this historic town. 5-star all the way!

    If you were to ask the 400 or so residents of Dutch Flat which drink they prefer, the overwhelming…read moreresponse would be Bud Light. That makes Abe the biggest Bud Dealer in the area :P - This store is the Lifeline of Dutch, when the snow hits, you better believe that Abe will be there, when the hunger hits, Abe will be there, when the Diapers need Changing, Abe will be there (to sell you the diapers, not change the baby) As a community, Dutch Flat would not be what it is without the Trading Post. In fact, I hereby decree that on your way to Reno or Tahoe, you are required to stop by Dutch Flat Trading Post and support the most important local business in town, Abe's. WE LOVE YOU ABE!!!!!!

    Probably two or three weeks ago I went into Safeway to buy some pork chops that were on sale for…read more399 a pound. For me that was an OK deal, because I really wanted some pork chops. I bought a pack slightly over 3 pounds for about $13.50 Went home and opened up the package and pulled the first one out and it looks like a pork chop but one side of it was 1 inch thick and the other side was about an eighth of an inch thick. Just a piece of garbage. Almost impossible to cook evenly. Remember this is Safeway, the most expensive grocery store stores that we have here in grass Valley in my opinion. I went ahead and took the other for pork chops out of the package so I could freeze them two Ziploc baggies for later. Two of them were fine. Bone in pork loin chops. That's what I wanted and that's what I paid for. The fourth pork chop with something maybe a cut off a pork roast or something. Certainly not a pork chop. The fifth was a small pork chop That looked like the first piece of garbage but even worse. It looked like a dog had already chewed on it. Now I'm pissed. I took my receipt and the two crappy pork chops. I had left out of the package of five and went back to Safeway and immediately got a manager. He was courteous and receptive and asked him to follow me back to the meat department because I needed somebody there with me because I was about to lose my mind. He went and called a butcher out, and I explained to him my disappointment. 60% of the pork chops I bought, three out of four were trash. The irony is that they were basically hidden under the other pork chops. 100% deceptive trade practices. They put pork scraps in my pork chops with the belief that nobody would complain and say oh well I'm just home. I'll go ahead and eat this garbage. The Butcher acted like he was king turd of poop Mountain. Two times during our conversation, which only lasted two minutes, he reminded me that he was really important and had to get back in there cutting meat. Rude, and dismissing. They did replace the two really bad pork chops. I brought back with proper pork loin chops because they had no choice. We haven't met, but I'm the guy that's gonna take my two pork chops with me. I was mad as hell, but I was super polite to everybody. I'm super disappointed that Safeway allows that in the deceptive practices of hiding inferior cuts under one that look good, is probably what goes on a lot because I'll just find it a statistical improbability that that's the first time that's happened Safeway, you can eat my shorts. You should do better. I'm almost ashamed to say that my first job was bagging groceries at Safeway when I was in high school in 1985. SAFEWAY, YOU NEED TO DO BETTER,
