July 30, 2026 the spouse and I went to an estate sale in Pollock Pines today and came down into…read morePlacerville for lunch before heading home. We were headed to a place I was familiar with and while going down Main Street saw Burning Barrel. I quickly hoped on their website and rattled off a few items and we pulled into the closest parking lot and made our way over. The restaurant was empty of guests and the young man at the counter was welcoming, asking if this was our first visit, and showed us the food and drink menu and the board of current craft beers. I chose the Longhorn (tri tip) sandwich and fries and a Lillikoi Mai Tai, and the spouse chose the Pastrami Sandwich and a beer called Dank. They do not do table service so after ordering we grabbed a seat. This is a pretty large open space with an outdoor patio, several roll up doors and misters at the outside. Shortly after sitting down a server came over with our meals. I started with a french fry, and I have to say these are the best french fries I have ever had, in my life time. I don't know if its the way they cut the fries, the way they are seasoned, what they are fried in or all of the above, but they were delicious! Our sandwiches were outstanding! Both were incredibly flavorful and filling, and even after I was full I continued eating because everything tasted SO GOOD. The drinks were excellent too, so good that we ordered a second round. The young man at the counter also made my mai tai and did an excellent job. About halfway into our meal other guests started to arrive and by the time we left there were at least 4-5 parties of guests in the restaurant. I will absolutely return, and highly recommend Burning Barrel. I was also pleased to see that they have a Rancho Cordova location, which is a little closer to my home in the Valley. Thank you Burning Barrel for the excellent food, drinks and customer service! You made our great day even better!

To start off, the nectars are very good. When they do make it, the dark blue milk is EXCELLENT. The…read moreother beers are decent. As for food: the fries are cooked perfectly, and the pretzel, is a good pretzel. The cheese sauce is trash. It is so bland and even grainy, there was no point consuming it. The mustard was much better. Now the important part for safety: All the napkins and utensils are inside. They bring the food to your table but you are expected to get those other things. I was here alone and did not plan ahead. I did not feel safe leaving my drink and food alone outside, so I could go inside to get a napkin. So I will probably try this place again but there are some issues.

Cover band stage…read more I've enjoyed watching local cover bands perform live on the Stage Bar. The setting has been renovated from what I remember from before. Now the setting has a short wall around the stage area and just outside of it is a huge bar with lots of seating. The raised stage has been the scene of performances from different genres whether you're in the mood for soul, classic rock, top 40, country, Latin, R&B, Motown, and the 80's! Bands usually perform Friday and Saturday nights from 9:30p - 1:30a and Sundays from 1:00-4:00p and most of the time country bands performing on Sundays. The Stage Bar is located inside Red Hawk Casino. It is right next to the elevators heading to the Waterfall Buffet and other restaurants downstairs. It has a dance floor and high and low table seating all around. Every once in a while a server will come around passing out free small water bottles to patrons. I like it that the Casino provided seating rather than just having to stand there to watch the performances especially when the bands go on their intermission breaks between sets. At least we don't have to wander away we can just hang out. People tend to leave after the second music set if there are no seats (like other casinos... I won't mention the name but the casino is in Lincoln). LoL Red Hawk is about a 45-min drive from my home so I pick my shows when I come here. I've seen some great local talent on stage including the Spazmatics [the Ultimate 80's New Wave show], Big Bad Boogie Rock [70's and 80's], Apple Z [Pop and Top 40], and Cover Me Badd [Today's Dance hits]. So when visiting Red Hawk Casino on a weekend check out some of the region's hottest bands live at the Stage Bar! Free live entertainment Friday, Saturday and Sunday! Review #0739

Besides being a great bar it also caters to families. The server here was excellent. She was genuinely very friendly, had great suggestions, and checked in on us just the right amount of times through the dinner. My wife and I shared a few dishes. The nachos here were different, but really fun and flavorful. They use kettle chips and put a kitchen sink of toppings on it. It's creamy, spicy, and the meat on it is very tender. My wife loved the Berry salad, and I also enjoyed the Bahn Mi Tacos. The Bahn Mi tacos had a Korean style pork on them that was very tender and juicy. The slaw on the side added a good crunch. My daughter had a kids cheese pizza and a hot dog. She was very happy!

Price was $29.99 per person. Had many great dishes.. their special item today was fresh made Pho. It was actually decent coming from a non Vietnamese establishment. Good job. The buffet is huge with lots of seatings but don't get it wrong.. it gets busy on weekends and reservations is best! The restaurant itself is very pretty. Windows that is huge and has views of gorgeous mountains and trees! I wasn't sure what I wanted to eat so I had a little of most of everything. Pizza, birria, hot link, pho, I wanted a salad so bad but with the stomach flu going around about it.. I avoided it incase lol. The desserts were mediocre but looks pretty for sure!

All I can say is what a disappointment. In all the times…read morethat I've come here this was the absolute worst of all. OK, there's still an overabundance of food and choice but this time everything looked very unappealing, and like it sat out for way too long. You should read my other previous reviews for comparison. This time I looked over all the offerings first, from one end to the other of the buffer counters. Nothing stood out as a 'wow'. As a matter of fact I had a hard time finding anything appealing. Hmmmm. After a good search I did finally find some veggies- zucchini. It turned out to be way over cooked, limp and also apparently sitting out for way too long. My wee bit of hope was nixed. In retrospect I should have tried the collard greens with ham. The only thing looking somewhat decent were rice dishes and actually they were OK. However when I got some Asian stir fry to go along with it the saltiness made it nearly inedible. The salt level killed all the flavor. The one Asian bun I chose was hard as a rock and very dry. I got a piece of kielbasa at the carvery station. The guy carving was rather abrupt and seemed very disinterested in doing the job. Oh well. The kilbasa was just OK. Grabbing a rib I thought I may have found something worthwhile. Yes, somewhat. Once I got past the fat and grizzle the meat was indeed good. The jalapeno cornbread looked appealing, although presented in chunks way too large that were falling apart in the tray. The piece I had was actually tasty and not greasy unlike my last time getting it. Overall the food was lukewarm at best. The soft serve ice cream was good with lots of topping options, plus I had a small square of a chocolate brownie that was delicious, moist and full of chocolate. My four dining partners couldn't eat more than a small plate and left half of what they got, quite dissatisfied. It's really unfortunate. On top of it the service was nearly non existent. Clearing plates or whatever just never happened. Oh well. I gave it two stars as the price point is truly good and perhaps it's more my picky pallet and expectations than that of others who come here. There was a consensus among us that perhaps eating at the other restaurants might be a better option.

I had a burrito that was stunningly delicious. i went all Danny Devito/Get Shorty and ordered some shit that is not even on the menu!. See, what had happen is dat they took the green goddess burrito and they put the breaded zucchini fries inside the burrito! This had had the effect of making Damn near the best veggie wrap I have ever had had!!!!!!!!! in addition, the bartender trotted out this habanero hot sauce that is in the photo. She was so friendly and accommodating, I decided to had two gin martinis while I was there! I myself was delighted just watching her to do her magic behind the bar. So friendly and that was just what I needed after spending all day working with artificial intelligence. But this was no artificial intelligent! she had helped me brainstorm what could be made vegan on the menu. Zucchini sticks in da wrap naturally!! Did i mention dat?
