Buttercup Pantry Restaurant

Hubby and I came here after a disastrous morning and had a very reenergizing and pleasant breakfast. Great food (with the exception of slightly overcooked sausage and this bacon). Great service by Kylie. Highly recommend for anyone looking for breakfast. Quality of service: A++Quality of food: A+Price: $-$$ (very reasonable and won't put a hole in your wallet)Recommendation: biscuit and gravy is DELISH

Entered the restaurant and though there were two waitresses near the front I was not greeted or acknowledged. I was the only one waiting. Finally after 3 minutes someone come to seat me.The pancakes were a little dry and the amount of syrup could fill a thimble. Maybe a little more since I'm paying for it?When I went up front to pay, two young women were there. They looked so tired and again, no greeting. Maybe in Placerville greeting is outlawed?It was only 830 am and half filled.I paid and left a decent tip but next time I'll try Mel's Diner next door. Maybe they will be happier to see customers.

Food, service and ambience are all top notch.This was our first time at Buttercup pantry and we were so happy that on the way out we were talking about coming back again to Placerville just to have lunch here. They have a really nice menu for breakfast and lunch/dinner. The parking lot is a little tight, but everybody seems to be OK with that. I had the turkey sandwich on a croissant which was as big as a bears paw! Our boy had grilled ham and cheese and Hubs decided he was going all out and got the triple decker hamburger. That thing was enormous! Even he said "Oh no!" when it came to the table. We all enjoyed every bite and we tried the Apple Dumpling for dessert. This is shareable. Actually, everything we had was shareable. But this dumpling, well, they take a whole apple, spiral cut it, coat it with the right amount of cinnamon/sugar so it's not hot and not overly sweet and then wrap it in flaky pastry and bake it. I was full and still ate that wonderful bit of heaven on earth.So I gained 2 pounds. I'll lose it. But don't let that put you off from trying something from their easy to read, well represented menu. Super nice wait staff and who ever is cooking in the kitchen are either masters at their craft or magicians!No photos. Too busy eating.

Apple dumplings are a definite MUST here! Very unique, creative and tasty. A candy apple inside a pastry. I'll never leave Placer without stopping by to get some to-go!Cinnamon roll was good too.

Independently owned restaurant in downtown Placerville that is full of fun memorabilia. It's a great place for breakfast we had the classic with eggs and bacon. Friendly service with a local feeling.

My partner and I came in Sunday morning for my birthday breakfast and this is now hands down our new favorite breakfast spot. We were looking for a restaurant to stop at that's close to Apple Hill since that's why we planned to be in their area and this was one that popped up. I am SO happy this is the one we ended up choosing because they did not disappoint. The restaurant itself is so cute I love all the teapot and different fun things they had everywhere. The service was amazing. And the food was absolutely delicious. My fiancé got the Irish Benedict. I got the Garden Scramble and added meat and avocado. Everything was amazing. This was the best first stop of our day. We 100% will be coming back, I highly recommend :)

Are you looking for a place to stop on your way to or from Tahoe? This is the spot! Breakfast was amazing, even better than the Red Hut if that's your go-to in Tahoe. The bacon is thick and the food is quality. We visited on a busy holiday weekend and the food came out fast and fresh. Our server was Krystal and she was SO upbeat, friendly, efficient, and professional!

Very busy place on a weekend morning. The parking could be a challenge. Love the old fashioned decor! You can easily kill time waiting for your table. My skillet was huge but just okay (and the fact it came in a fake skillet was such a disappointment...has to be a cast iron skillet)! The side pancakes are fluffy and tasty. My husband sweet potato fries are great too.Their menu is huuuuge so you can definitely find something for everyone.

Celebrating my daughter in laws birthday we went to breakfast. The only criteria was chicken fried steak and eggs. Quick yelp search and off we went. Everyone was happy with the food. Parking is a bit of a pain if they are busy.Service was friendly and prompt. The decor is cute.I would come again when in the area.

Summary: A gem of a place. Great service, solid food, and excellent value for the price. It's fun and eclectic inside, with LOTS to look at. Parking is a little tricky if you have a big car, but there is a decent amount of parking at the adjacent lot. Highly recommend the B.L.A.S.T. sandwich.My wife and I have been coming here for many years with her family as a stopping point either to or returning from Lake Tahoe. It makes a great place for breakfast/brunch/lunch and has a large menu with an abundance of options. Everything seems to be made in-house (including the daily soups and pies), and we have yet to order anything that wasn't delicious.The staff are friendly and attentive, being very helpful and doing an excellent job fielding requests from our large party. The menu items are pretty reasonably priced, and large portioned. Most average in the mid teens, but some extend into the $25+ range for seafood plates. They also usually come with choice of fries, soup, or salad (for non-breakfast options). Breakfast options come with toast/bread/muffin and sausage.The food is not fancy, but it is well executed and tasty, which makes for a very consistent and pleasant experience year after year. Definitely recommended for a meal if you're in the area.
