This was a unique restaurant that had an assortment of distinctly different items to eat on the menu. We decided on two types of tacos - the shrimp ones were delicious & the jerk chicken ones were spicy, but filling. We also ordered the caramel apple pie - it was basically a dessert pizza, but the flavors were amazing! I'll be back to try more of their food. As for the decor of the place, it seemed homey - like a great place to hang out. They had a pool table & a bar as well. As for service, our waitress was alright. She was friendly, but non-existent at times, especially when drinks were low from eating those jerk tacos!
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.
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.
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 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 !
