Everybody's Inn

Great home cookingWonderful family place to enjoy A community hang out Where friends meet.

This is your true Mom's restaurant. Recipes from Cynthia's heart. Good wholesome food prepared with love and served with love. Specials every Thursday night, Saturday and Sunday serves breakfast (I like the breakfast sandwich on a croissant with sausage patty & tater tots). Taco Tuesdays are a special treat with meat brimming from end to end. My personal fav is the fish tacos (love the sauce).

Foresthill, CA, located in Placer County, is a friendly, off-the-beaten-track mountain community, located 20 miles east of Auburn, the county seat. Mountain recreational opportunities are endless, but fine dining is limited, but that is not a problem, as the small town is blessed to enjoy a "hidden gem," Everybody's Inn, owned and operated by Cynthia, the amazingly friendly proprietor.As you enter the restaurant, you'll notice the large bar, which takes up most of the dining room. The owner and operator of the restaurant/bar calls the bar the "Tacky Bar." The atmosphere is as rustic as it gets, as the bar/restaurant sports a wood burning stove for warmth, soda coolers, along with wooden floors. Don't look for computerized ordering or uniformed staff, as... what's that? You're in rural Foresthill!! At the rear of the dining room is what the owner refers to as the "Country Kitchen," as it's set up as a rustic dining room, like what you'd see in a 1950's western movie, offering tables and chairs for your dining pleasure.Everybody's Inn is "dog friendly," as your well-behaved dog is welcome to join you inside the restaurant, as you enjoy the amazing mountain cuisine.On weekends, Everybody's Inn serves breakfast from 08:00 in the morning until noon, and features a printed menu, that lists all of your breakfast favorites.The menu posts "Ask about Thursday's dinner," as every Thursday, Cynthia prepares a different dinner, which varies and offers a different selection each week. The dinner offerings vary widely from week to week, so Foresthill locals are always able to enjoy varied cuisine. The selections vary from "Chicken Fried Steak" to "Yankee Pot Roast," with everything in between, so Thursdays are always special at Everybody's Inn.Just like many small restaurants that I've visited during my many travels to Mexico, Everybody's Inn does not have a menu, and you just have to ask what Cynthia can offer you. As in many small restaurants in Mexico, the proprietor will prepare you anything you request, with the limitations of what she supplies are currently in stock. Tacos and hamburgers are the two selections that the restaurant is noted for, but during our visit, the restaurant was out of meat and lettuce, so no burgers or tacos were offered on this late Saturday afternoon.How many restaurants in California, or for that matter the United States, operate without a menu, and prepare meals from whatever ingredients are on hand? Not many... Everybody's Inn is unique, and that adds to the atmosphere, the charm, and to the amazing "rustic" cuisine...Claudia and I love to "mix and match" when we dine together, so each of us enjoyed an identical plate of a half "Pastrami and Cheese" sandwich, and half of a "Ham and Cheese" sandwich. Each plate included Cynthia's amazing homemade onion rings, which always works with us.Each sandwich was built on a large, fresh hoagie roll, lightly toasted, which made the perfect foundation for these amazing sandwiches. Each sandwich began with a generous portion of pastrami or ham, and the meat was fresh and flavorful. Tomato slices were cut on the thick side, along with the avocado slices which graced the "Ham and Cheese" sandwich.The "Ham and Cheese" sandwich featured a couple slices of American cheese, melted just right, and on the "gooey" side, wrapping around the ham, cheese, tomato and avocado. Delicious!The "Pastrami and Cheese" sandwich started with several thick slices of pastrami, enhanced by tomato slices, and featured several slices of Swiss cheese, slightly melted, which made for the perfect sandwich. Both sandwiches were simply amazing, and we couldn't choose which one was our favorite!Cynthia let us know her onion rings are made from "scratch" and cooked after you place your order, and never pre-made. Although the thought crossed our minds to suggest that we enjoy a half order of fries, and half of onion rings, the thought quickly disappeared when Cynthia described her home-made onion rings.Each onion ring started with a fresh, white onion, and was coated with a season batter, with the perfect onion-to-batter ratio. Perfect!I could post more... but I'm out of room. 5 stars for food, friendly service and rustic atmosphere.What's up with Yelp? I tried to post captions on my uploaded photos both yesterday and today, and the caption option has vanished. Yelp, don't you realize that captions are crucial to a review. How are users supposed to know what's going on without a caption?I may have to reconsider posting my eating adventures on Yelp, as I strive for a superior and complete review. Yelp... please reconsider lowering your standards to the lowest "common denominator" or you'll lose my support.

Taco Tuesdays are the best! Usual options are beef, chicken or fish. Occasionally, they also have shrimp. All of them are delicious and the price is very reasonable. I hear they serve excellent breakfast on the weekends as well.

Cynthia is a great hostess? Her meals are a great value and her cooking is just as good.

What a great find on our way to cut down our Christmas tree this year. The beer is ice cold, the conversation was great and the chicken tacos are a must try. Make sure to give the dogs lots of attention, they love it! Can't wait to come back.

Great hometown place. Run by a mom for the past 24 years. Only 2 things on the menu.. burgers or tacos. Sometimes keeping it simple is smarter. The dog actually sat on the bar stool next to me. Will definitely be back. Good to see that mom and pop places still exist. Make sure you ask Cynthia what her story is. It's great!

Love, love, love. This place is my favorite...always. Great food, cold beer, and the best folks.

Just finished our dinner at Everybody's Inn. It's taco Tuesday! Choice between beef, fish, shrimp, and pork. My wife and I shared the fish and shrimp tacos.The food was fantabulous! We've been to Everybody's Inn several times and it has always been great!Great food and great company. We'll definitely be back.

Breakfasts on the weekends are delicious, reasonable prices, and a funky environment. Love it and go often!
