Placerville Public House

Food was great! Service was awesome, we did wait a while but she told us it would be a few before she came to took our order, so the expectation was understood. She was hustling, running around taking care of everyone. The winds and the loaded wedges were delicious! The vibe was fun, nostalgic.

3.5 stars; would've been higher if not for the service issues. Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon, driving home to San Leandro from Auburn. When we walked in, we stood around waiting for a few minutes before the waitress showed us to our table. She was very nice, but it was clear almost immediately that she was overworked. She was the only waitress working and the number of people on staff overall was small.The menu has a good selection of sandwiches, burgers, salads, appetizers, pizza, and pasta. I went with the caprese sandwich, which was a good-sized sandwich of mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, spinach, pesto aioli, and balsamic reduction, all on a toasted brioche bun. I subbed out the salad for tater tots. My husband and brother also got sandwiches (the hot pastrami and chicken mushroom swiss, respectively) and also got tater tots. We all felt the tater tots could've been crispier, but were still good.We all really loved our sandwiches. I liked that the mozzarella on mine had a good denseness that lended itself well to being the star of a sandwich, but was still soft in the middle. The balsamic wasn't too overwhelming either and was a good mix with the aioli. I'd order it again, though there were plenty of other things on the menu I'd try if I came back here again.Unfortunately, the meal came to a massive standstill once we ordered dessert. They had a special: peach cinnamon dessert pizza. I ordered a personal size for myself, but the kitchen accidentally made a large for the whole table, so it took significantly longer to come out than we expected. The waitress was apologetic and only charged us for a personal, but we were sitting between 20-30 minutes after our plates had been cleared, waiting for the pizza.It was ultimately very good, the perfect level of sweet with lots of peaches, and the crust was especially impressive. Their pizza is probably incredibly good based on just that crust alone. But I'm not sure it was worth waiting such a long time for it. Our waitress hardly ever came around, and even when she said she would, she'd disappear because she was the only waitress working and helping the other guests.Solid food in a beautiful old saloon, but service left much to be desired.

Good casual pub restaurant in the downtown. It's relaxing place with slower service. Everything was good and this is a good choice for a meal in the area.

For a midweek lunch, my dad and I came to Placerville Public House. He had seen it on a recent Food Network show and we decided to give it a try.Despite being in the heart of historic downtown Placerville, the interior of the space was clean and modern. Our server was kind and attentive. They are known for elevated pub food and I really wanted to try the nachos, but I was craving pizza. I decided to order a personal pig and pickle pizza - say that five times fast. It was a strange, unique combination that I have never tried on a pizza before, but surprisingly, it worked! My dad opted to try their tacos and he thought that they were quite flavorful. All in all, a nice spot to grab a bite to eat with a good variety of food and a large tap menu.

This is one of those times when the service is just so dreadful you kinda have to laugh. Came in on a Saturday after wine tasting at El Dorado Passport. We were seated right away but it was all downhill from there. Beverages took a while just to get ordered, and even longer to get delivered to us. We should have given up then and left because the place wasn't that busy and almost all the other tables already had their food. As we waited...and waited...we watched as our server (who appeared quite stoned) continued to chat it up with her coworkers who were also standing around while our food sat in the kitchen window and the cook had to keep ringing the bell to get her attention. A couple tables that had come in after us were already done eating by the time we even got our food. My group got their orders, but I was told my pizza was made with the wrong cheese and had to be remade and should be out in five minutes. Five minutes to the server under the influence was actually over fifteen in reality and my group was done eating by the time I got served. The consensus was the food was just too mediocre to put up with such slow service. None of us would ever come back.

This place gives you a sense of a historic feeling, hang town USA....the ambiance is awesome, it takes you back in time momentarily. The restaurant has an entrance to the bar, the bar is the same back in the 1900's just amazing. The service is even better, the waitress was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious. We ordered the chicken sandwich with mushrooms. The sandwich was topped with pesto and cheese, with a soft brioche bread, the taste was phenomenal, must try. You have your option of potatoe chips or tater tots, we got the tots, it was a bit on the overcooked side. We also ordered the Bratwurst sandwich, the Dijon spread was overwhelming but very tasty. It is also topped with your choice of tater tots or chips.. I definitely would come back possible for happy hour, the ambiance alone is worth coming back, it also has a pool table, adults only for that..I was very impressed overall !

Quick bite to eat and drink while driving home from Apple Hill. There was a band setting up for the night. We decided to go next door to their bar to wait for the band to start. They told us it would start soon and they didn't start for at least an hour after said time. Our servers were very friendly. It was a little difficult for me to choose something to eat because of a gluten allergy. I'd go back for a drink.

We came here for dinner on a Sunday evening around 8 pm. We were able to get a seat and enjoy the ambiance and the vibe. Lots of beer and drink options. Food options were okay- but quite limited if you have dietary restrictions. I can't eat dairy and ordered the three little pigs - carnitas tacos - and asked for no cheese. The tacos came out with feta mixed into the tacos. I asked with the bartender to confirm that there was no cheese- and he kindly took the plate back to the kitchen and was able to bring a plate of tacos without cheese. My friend got the Reuben sandwich with potato wedges and a beer. We were both super hungry from a long day outside, so we ate our food. We enjoyed the ambiance and the service was great. Seems like a great place for a drink. And I would consider coming back if there were more options without dairy on the menu. The three little pigs tacos were okay, but the carnitas weren't especially flavorful and the green onions and beans and corn didn't taste very cohesive. I realize I ordered the dish with a modification without the cheese- so maybe the feta really brings the dish together.

We are in town visiting from Nashville. What a great for us. Service is awesome. Food was great. Local breweries have a chance to sell their beer. So much history as well. You can play a nice card game too! Thank you Kevin for the great service. What an awesome place to eat! Great ambiance.

Our visit was 2 weeks ago in the evening...Drinks: Great beer selection. Service: GoodFood: Limited menu, Pricey....We ordered the Harvest Mac and Cheese. It arrived cold. It was returned and they warmed it up. It tasted like it had been sitting around all day and put in microwave and it was dry. $22. for this dish. Ate very little of it and left the rest. We were going to ordera pizza but $40. for a large is highway robbery....great place to drink beer but not eat.
