    Banh Mi
    Lawrence P.

    Stopped by this sandwich shop on the way up to Apple Hill. Saw the Yelp reviews and looked promising. It's basically a walk up in a small plaza with some tables. Cute spot. Definitely good for people watching. Got a couple sandwiches: Banh Mi - seeing the list of ingredients I was excited for this one. Never seen a place use lap chung in banh mi. The sandwich itself was kind of underwhelming. First of all, it's not on a French roll. Because of this, the moisture from the slaw soaked the entire bottom bun, making it difficult to eat. Also, the lap chung was slice into small coin sized pieces, rather than lengthwise, which means it all fell out when you tried to eat the sandwich. All the ingredients inside pretty much masked the taste of the sausage so you really didn't get the taste. I didn't get how this was supposed to be a banh mi. Honey Walnut - this was ok. Kind of standard honey walnut. In theory this sounded great but it's a tad rich and needs something to cut through it. There were a ton of other sandwiches and maybe we should've tried others but for the two we got it was just alright.

    Worth. The. Hype. I was recommended this place and then I read that it's the number one sandwich shop via Yelp. Hands down one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. Ever. Street parking only & it can be tight. They have a few chairs & tables outside.

    SMOKED OYSTER ¡!¡
    Anjelica C.

    So glad we stopped by this sandwich shop on our drive to tahoe (I think it's gonna be a new go to when we're in the area)! My husband got the smoked oyster sandwich and I got the Kimchi and Spam sandwich and we were both wowed by the unique combinations and how well the ingredients all worked together. Oyster sandwich: this was like a next level BLT. The crunch and flavor from the bacon was perfect, the oysters were subtle but delicious, and the microgreen mix was refreshing. My husband normally hates pickles but he didn't mind them in this sandwich. Spam and kimchi: wow, the toffee peanut butter sauce was incredible. I could order a jar of that. I loved how well it balanced with the kimchi flavors and the kewpie dressed slaw. My only wish was that we could order halves of sandwiches instead and be able to try more of a variety, because the sandwiches are quite large (and priced accordingly) so I wasn't able to finish mine. But I do hope to come with a bigger group next time and hopefully we can split a few sandos to share. I absolutely want to try the thanksgiving sandwich, honey walnut prawns, and maybe even the 4 cheese or grape and feta ones. We did get the fries this time but can probably skip it next time as the sandwiches steal the show. Also, the two workers were so friendly and helpful while we were deciding our orders. Looking forward to visiting again!

    SPAM AND KIMCHI !!!
    Katyayini K.

    Creative sandwich combinations, innovative ways on food recreation! This was such a suprise find, tucked away in Placerville. I got the chicken satay and the spam and kimchi sandwich. The chicken satay sandwich was really good! Perfect stuffing to bread ratio. It was more of a turmeric seasoning rather than a satay one (which emphasizes more on the charcoal grill and peanut sauce). The spam and kimchi was also really good. However there was too much stuffing (to bread ratio). The was a large amount of regular coleslaw, and I would've preferred more kimchi or a kimchi coleslaw of sorts! I would've also like a thicker slice of spam! I would've preferred give this place 3.75/5 stars.

    TIMMY'S ¡¡¡Bánh mì!!!

    Super delicious sandwiches! They are a bit heavy and some were a little too sweet for our tastebuds, but certainly worth trying. It is a small kitchen tucked into a breezeway of sorts that leads to several other shops. Lots of posters out front showing the different sandwiches, which was a little confusing at first, but then we realized it was a super creative way to show what they had to offer! My only complaint was the price. Much more than I expected for just a sandwich, but they put a lot of ingredients on there and a lot of love into making it, you can tell!

    We drove up from Nevada to try this spot and it did not disappoint. The wait was alot longer than we would've liked but it was well worth it! The food was hot, delicious and fresh. Like nothing we had ever had. The seating is in an outdoor courtyard but it was fine with us. I had the fried boloney and he had the Spam and kimchi. We will definitely be back.

    OK, we've been around Placerville for five years and I've never stopped and checked this place out. It's kind of hidden and you can definitely walk past it and miss it.. but we stopped by today cause we were craving sandwiches and let me tell you their selection is definitely different but their sandwiches are 15 out of 10. The owner is there working like a badass and he's got such rad staff !! Go get yourself a sando! Caution, though, if you are not somebody who is open-minded with food or a foodie stay away because these sandwiches are different and they're big and they're just amazing

    Bahn mi *special*
    Lisa W.

    On our way home from camping we wanted to find a great deli and thankfully I had bookmarked this place on Yelp after hearing about it. It's located on the historic Main Street which I've not been to in 40 years! You place your order at a window and boy was it challenging to narrow down what to get. The menu offers incredible and unusual sandwiches. They were a bit too creative for the grandkids yet thankfully they offered a kids burger or grilled cheese. There is a shady patio to eat and your order is delivered to you. I will add that the prices are higher than your normal deli sandwich but they are packed with ingredients and pretty large. As a matter of fact, I had them cut my sandwich in half so I could bring half home, but the sandwich has so many goodies inside it did not fare to well. It was quite messy when I got home. Boy was it ever delicious though! I had the falafel sandwich packed with zesty ingredients. My granddaughters grilled cheese was one of the best (I snuck a bite). My daughter had the apple with Brie and honey which she liked but said it was a bit too sweet. My son-in-law had their version of bahn mi and he loved all the ingredients inside of it. The staff were friendly and patient with our ordering questions. If you're craving a really great and creative sandwich, this is your place!

    CHICKEN SATAYAYAM
    Kiara S.

    Everyone from the area I meet praises Timmy's Brown Bag and I definitely get the hype now! It is takeout only but there are several tables inside the alley to grab a seat at. Every sandwich is made to order and each ingredient is thoughtfully put together. Service is great! The staff is super friendly and they really emphasized their ability to accommodate. They had run out of Texas toast for my Midwest Meat Lover's this morning, but I left them to their best judgment and my sandwich still came out delicious! The Chicken Satayam was also delicious and included a thick peanut butter that cut into the savory flavor of the chicken which made for such a well rounded sandwich. The thing I'm sure everyone loves about Timmy's is every sandwich sounds crazy, yet the flavors work; they carry unique options that you won't find anywhere else. The portions are huge and well worth every penny. I will say my leftovers might have even tasted better which is always shocking. Of course I'll be back, I have to try everything now!

    I was recommended this establishment while getting my nails done nearby and it did not disappoint. After camping in the woods and eating beans for five days we were hungry for something different and Timmy's Brown Bag is exactly that! The menu is meant to drive a sane person loopy because of the fonts and I love it. I say this as someone who uses comic sans at work for funsies. But the fonts also kind of lean into all of the fun ingredients at play in these creations. Just the experience of reading the menu had me racking my brain to try and imagine the flavor profile of the offerings and I'd say you'll never guess. You just have to go for it. In my head the falafel was playing it safe. The falafel sandwich was so delicious and the flavors explode together to bring so much tang to something that a lot of places make boring with just hummus. Not here, those heirloom tomatoes are the bomb! Husband got the deviled egg salad sandwich and had the same reaction. The sandwiches have that zip that I am always looking for. No need for my pocket hot sauce here. We cannot wait to come back and step outside the comfort zone to order something more daring.

    Spam and Slaw, not kimchi
    Shelia L.

    I got the Spam and Kimchi sandwich. It was delicious!! BUT it isn't kimchi it's cole slaw. My hubby got the Char sui pork and it was also really good. I cant wait to get back that way to try another weird but delicious combination.

    Tacos sudados en mole
    Fred D.

    We finally made it to the world famous Timmy's. All the gourmet magazine reviews are true here you will find a wide variety of unusual and delicious sandwiches, hamburgers, and tacos. The Mexican food is well prepared. The falafel sandwich is sensational, even though it's not served on a pita. There are nice tables outside to eat. The young man who waited on us was exceptionally kind and even brought out a bowl of water for our dog. We will be back.

    Can someone please confirm or refute the multiple reviews complaining the staff do not wear masks appropriately?

    Went today, two employees and ZERO masks

    Do they do low carb options for the sandwiches like swapping bread for lettuce wrap or salad bowl?

    No, but get a sandwich, it's a sandwich shop! You won't regret any of the items you choose, they are all amazing.

The menu had typical American food, soup, sandwiches, salads, burgers. We ordered the Ahi Lettuce wraps, and the fried green tomatoes. The ahi was good, but it came with with a bunch of fresh and pickled vegetables that threw us off at first as we were expecting more of a thai style lettuce wrap. The one thing I really want to highlight here in my review is the five star service we received from our server Jazze. She is really attentive and direct but not in a brash way. One of the people in our party was having a hard time choosing between two beers and Jazze went out of her way to provide two samples so that our friend could make up her mind. Jazze also was very quick to refill our drinks, check in with us on ordering and how our food was, as well as ensured we felt acknowledged and welcomed. I would come back only for her. Only issue I experienced was getting stuck in the bathroom as the smaller of the two stalls in the bathroom has a door that swings outward in the same direction of the bathroom door so you can't open both at once and also if you close the door to the bathroom all the way you may need to use some elbow grease to open it from the inside

So the $66 dollar Rib Eye over the $51 Prime Rib. But then the steaks came out. The others in our group got perfectly cooked rib eyes that were 40-60% cap. They were cooked perfectly to temp. My steak was much smaller, thicker, and entirely lacked the cap. So it was just a NY Strip. The temperature was way over. I was never asked if the dish was ok. Our server was busy and never returned to check on us. The busser came by and asked very quickly if everything was "still" ok. We ate our meal while it was still warm. The busser returned and started to clear the plates, including taking a side dish before we were done with it. When I informed the server of my issue he didn't seem to agree with me. He claimed he came and asked us. Later the manager came and told me he took 20% off the steak. $52 for an overcooked 14 oz NY Steak isn't terrible, but that isn't what I was looking for.

Love the fact that this place serves up local wines -- I couldn't recall the wine I had and they do not have their wine menu on their website. If you have the opportunity to visit, I'd recommend a glass of red from Starfield (winery up the road).

    Yay! Our new favorite lunch place on Main Street!…read more We just stopped by last weekend, we've been wanting to try this place out but it just hadn't happened.... Last Monday we decided to have lunch there, one of our regular places is closed Mondays and this place was open so we checked it out...and we're SO SO glad we did! Atmosphere was nice and server was very friendly from the moment we walked in. First thing I noticed; $5 mimosas!! I asked if they did anything other than orange juice and yes, they had several other options so I had the cranberry version. Delicious! I went with their mac and cheese, my partner got the basic hamburger. Mac and Cheese -- definitely very bacon forward, much more than I prefer. That being said, I still liked it, it also had sour cream and green onion on top. Bacon lovers will LOOOVE this version, there is LOTS of it and every bite you can taste it. Normally I prefer my mac & cheese with no bacon or just a bit here and there, I prefer to taste more of the cheeses.....again, it still tasted good, its a good serving and I ate half and had enough to save for the next day at work. Creamy and well made, again I just prefer to taste more cheese than bacon. I wouldn't order this again but like I said, a bacon lover will LOVE this version. Now, my partner's burger was Incredible. We are PICKY with our burgers, and we both thought this one was fantastic. Big, and great ratio to the bun. He ordered it medium and asked for "a little char" and they made it perfectly. I took a bite and yeah, I'd order that for sure. The fries were great, too. Overall we were super happy with our lunch, I thought it was priced fairly as well. We will definitely be back!!

The pitfalls of the restaurant seem to be entirely the service. Most recently we went to Franny's on Mother's Day. We had reservations and walked in, on time. We were initially sat in a nice booth in the front of the restaurant. It was my wife and I plus our 2 kids, the table size seemed appropriate. After being sat, we sat without talking to a server for 10+ minutes, not even getting waters. Eventually, when someone did come, it was a waitress/hostess telling us that there had been a mix up, and we needed to move. We weren't excited on the idea, as we were happy where we were, but we moved to the back of the restaurant. This time we sat for 15 minutes without being acknowledged by any wait staff. At this point it is 9:25 and we've been seated for 25 minutes without even water. Finally a waitress comes, and takes our drink order, and our food order as we'd definitely had ample time to look over the menu. About 9:50 the food arrives. My wife and kids' food comes and is great. My food comes and looks off, and the waitress tells me that the kitchen accidentally made me a "veggie" scramble instead of the chorizo that I had ordered, but that she'd get me some bacon and all was well. I asked what was in the veggie scramble and was told it has mushrooms, which is a hard pass for me. She told me she could have what I had actually ordered made but it would "take a long time". I said O.K. - what else was I going to do? Finally it comes, and my wife is done eating, and the kids are close, so, I asked for it to be "boxed up". The waitress rolled her eyes and set to the task. I'm not a restaurant snob - but I really expected an apology or something to be "comp'd" due to the rough experience, but nope, full bill and no apology. Regrettably, despite Franny's being a local joint and having good food, we won't be back.

    Ambiance: This place is a must stop when in El Dorado Wine…read moreCountry. Its decor is simple and features a Polynesian theme. Service: The service was worth 5-stars. We stoped by after wine tasting just before 2 pm. They welcomed us as if we were family. Amazing service and company. For the record, they are closed between 2-4 pm. Make sure you get there early for the most amazing food in NORCAL. Food: The menu has a wide variety for everyone. On this day, we chose the Carne Asada Fries. Hands down the best any of us tasted. There were four of us and we all shared it and all equally satisfied. It's a meal on its own. Do not pass this up! We each order sandwiches; Turkey Club and Pastrami Reuben. Both with sweet potatoes. We asked if we could share the sandwiches. They quickly and very friendly said, of course. All four of us enjoyed our 1/2 sandwiches. One of us stated they were the best he has tasted in over 20 years. Every one of us was exceedingly pleased with our meals. We will be making this a regular stop on our wine tasting journeys. We already stated that breakfast will be our next sampling. This really is a gem hidden away in the beautiful El Dorado Wine Country. And it is most definitely worth the trip! We all live in Sacramento and this will be our place when we go to Too Good Caves once a quarter; or sooner. Tell them James sent you!

    What a lovely little gem!! The only wine and beers on their menu are local - which I love!! The…read moresoups were divine - we had the lobster bisque and potato. I ordered the lamb persillade and my husband had the NY strip steak. We also ordered the bacon brussels sprouts. My lamb was cooked perfectly and not overly seasoned. My husband's steak was a beautiful cut of meat, cooked perfectly, but way over salted for my taste. The rolls were fresh out of the over and delish! The brussels sprouts yummy. The meals were served with what appeared to be frozen broccoli, which detracted a bit from the farm to fork vibe, but it was cooked well, so not reason to hate on it too much! We were super sad that we were too full to order dessert because they looked amazing!!
