Great lunch place with beautiful scenery during the spring!…read more Tried The Dave which was delicious and a bit messy to eat, and upgraded to a side of the Fried Onions which was done well with the right amount of flavor in the batter.

It's a nice, friendly neighborhood spot with a full bar, lots of seating, pool tables and a little arcade. The menu has lots of burgers and plenty of other great choices. And the burgers did not disappoint! I went for the PacMan, a basic cheeseburger, and my husband had the BlueCue. Both were delicious and juicy, and the buns tasted super fresh. We subbed salad for our sides and it was a really nice salad with cheese, onions, and tomatoes, not just a few greens. Servers were all really friendly and we had plenty of time to enjoy even though we arrived close to last call. We will definitely be back!

Wanted to watch the Broncos vs Bills game and enjoy some nice drinks. So I found this place…read more Based on their menu online I wasent sure if they had cocktails. But I called them up and they said they do have a full bar. So here we are!! There's plenty of seating. They have a bar area. Then a restaurant style area with booth seating. Then some high tops where the pool tables are. As well as some regular tables in front of the TV. They have the ability to turn the game sound on as shown by when the 49ers game came on (they got smacked by the Seahawks). But during the Broncos game they had the music playing but thats ok. The tvs here are at least 55 inch tvs. Crystal clear. Great for watching the games. There were no Broncos fans or Bills fans here. So it was just my wife and I having basically the entire place to ourselves for the game. We sat (stood too) for the entire game. It was an epic OT win by the Broncos. We each ordered about 4 drinks and had 2 apps. The drinks were all very pretty. Some were good. Some not so much. They are able to make up drinks on the fly as well as customize them. We had their boneless wings and pretzel sticks. Good finger food type snacks. Our waitress disappeared for long periods of time. I think initially she was annoyed that we were just ordering drinks. But I feel like we made it worth her while with 8 drinks and 2 apps ordered.... They have a small arcade to the back. As well as a large private event room. No tvs in there as everyone was coming out to watch the ending of the Broncos game. Overall a nice restaurant. Lots of older people here. But also some families and young people on dates too. So fun for the whole family. Good amounts of drinks. Good amounts of food as well.

I don't write reviews often, but this place absolutely earned it…read more If you're anywhere near El Dorado, you need to stop at Pizza NLRcia. The food is outstanding, but what really sets them apart is the level of service. Honestly some of the best I have experienced anywhere. I walked in about 20 minutes before closing, which most places would not be thrilled about, and they welcomed me without hesitation. No attitude, no rushing, just genuine hospitality. While I was waiting for my pizza, someone, possibly the owner, came over and told me they had accidentally dropped my pizza in the oven and it did not look great. He said there was nothing wrong with it, but because of how it looked, they were going to give it to me for free on top of the new pizza they were making. That alone says everything about their standards and integrity. It did not stop there. I had also grabbed the last piece of tiramisu, and before I left, he handed me a coupon for a free tiramisu next time. That is not normal service. That is above and beyond. The pizza itself was incredible. Unique combinations, bold flavors, and clearly made with care. The tiramisu was just as good. Rich, balanced, and the perfect finish. This place is the real deal. Great people, amazing food, and a level of customer service you just do not see anymore. Must stop if you are passing through El Dorado.

We would have been far better off finding a Pizza Hut or just going home and eating leftovers. One of the soggiest, sparsely topped, most expensive pizzas I've ever eaten. Look, pizza crust has one basic role, serve the sauce and toppings to your mouth. Their crust was so soggy it stuck to the plates. We ordered the Carnivore pizza (no 1/2 and 1/2 orders allowed!) and for $26, this medium sized pizza had very little meat. The order taker was glib and the pizza took a long time to come out. Just an awful experience.

My daughter being a picky eater chose to get an egg, potato, and bacon burrito. I had the foxwood burrito and an americano. The service was great and the food came out fast. To my surprise my daughter really enjoyed her burrito. She is a tough one to please! The foxwood burrito was tasty. There was a nice sauce and everything was cooked well. My only complaint, keeping this from a five stat review would be the potatoes on the burrito. They had a bit of a freezer burn taste. It wasn't horrible but I noticed it. All in all this was a great little coffee shop that will please even the pickiest of eaters!

"The Place" is the name of this place. It's an Italian restaurant in Placerville, CA, off in the…read morerural suburbs near Diamond Springs. The food is delicious. The chef/owner goal was to create a cozy place where folks can enjoy an homemade Italian meal that you thought your non-na or someone's non-na made. Mission accomplished! They have pizza, pasta, sandwiches, calzones, salads, and appetizers. There are two kinds of pizza; Neapolitan thin crust and Roman deep dish. Both are terrific. They offer the deep dish pizza by the slice. The thin crust pizzas have a fermented crust giving it a nice chew and crispness. Flavor elevation. The thin crust pizzas are flame fired. The wood fire pizza oven is a thing of beauty. Gorgeous rounded cooper clad exterior; imported from Italy. It is viewable in the dining room, near the kitchen. Grammy's salad is my favorite salad. Grammy makes one hecka of a salad. The meatball grind-ah is mighty tasty. The bread is pressed giving it nice grill marks and a toasty flavor. The meatballs are juicy and tender; they are layered with marinara. Mmm. Their lunch menu has different menu options from the dinner menu. All right, mixing it up. Lunch is served until 3pm. The happy hour is 2pm-6pm. With the recent remodel, they tore down the wall separating the bar and restaurant dining room creating an open floor plan. So the nights that they have live music. It gets loud. Just sayin.
