It's a nice, friendly neighborhood spot with a full bar, lots of seating, pool tables and a little arcade. The menu has lots of burgers and plenty of other great choices. And the burgers did not disappoint! I went for the PacMan, a basic cheeseburger, and my husband had the BlueCue. Both were delicious and juicy, and the buns tasted super fresh. We subbed salad for our sides and it was a really nice salad with cheese, onions, and tomatoes, not just a few greens. Servers were all really friendly and we had plenty of time to enjoy even though we arrived close to last call. We will definitely be back!

The food is outstanding, but what really sets them apart is the level of service. Honestly some of the best I have experienced anywhere. I walked in about 20 minutes before closing, which most places would not be thrilled about, and they welcomed me without hesitation. No attitude, no rushing, just genuine hospitality. While I was waiting for my pizza, someone, possibly the owner, came over and told me they had accidentally dropped my pizza in the oven and it did not look great. He said there was nothing wrong with it, but because of how it looked, they were going to give it to me for free on top of the new pizza they were making. That alone says everything about their standards and integrity. It did not stop there. I had also grabbed the last piece of tiramisu, and before I left, he handed me a coupon for a free tiramisu next time. That is not normal service. That is above and beyond. The pizza itself was incredible. Unique combinations, bold flavors, and clearly made with care. The tiramisu was just as good. Rich, balanced, and the perfect finish. This place is the real deal. Great people, amazing food, and a level of customer service you just do not see anymore. Must stop if you are passing through El Dorado.

Poor Red's was packed and didn't sear us for over 40 minutes so we gave up and went across the…read morestreet to Pizza Norcia. We would have been far better off finding a Pizza Hut or just going home and eating leftovers. One of the soggiest, sparsely topped, most expensive pizzas I've ever eaten. Look, pizza crust has one basic role, serve the sauce and toppings to your mouth. Their crust was so soggy it stuck to the plates. We ordered the Carnivore pizza (no 1/2 and 1/2 orders allowed!) and for $26, this medium sized pizza had very little meat. The order taker was glib and the pizza took a long time to come out. Just an awful experience.

A sweet little European Cafe out in the middle of "cowboy" country…read more And the cowboys love it! As does everyone else. Including me and my compadres. Once again, thank you Yelp, for leading us to this super friendly, local, and family owned dining establishment. And may I say, very popular too! Just cute as a button with a little patio in front with the feel of being in the great outdoors with all that wonderful fresh air. Bring your doggie. Inside a couple of large booths and real nice bar-type seating too. Perfect for that solo diner. There is another room with more seating also. So about that European food... owner's, Mom, Dad and two daughters, hail from Croatia and Bosnia and offer modern, authentic European dishes as well as American eats too. And I can state with confidence those breakfast/brunch menu items are awesome. Open 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. , with the best "welcoming" customer service on the planet. I experienced it first hand. This is a delicious and happy Cafè for sure. Do not miss it if you are in the Shingle Springs area. Happy eating!

My daughter being a picky eater chose to get an egg, potato, and bacon burrito. I had the foxwood burrito and an americano. The service was great and the food came out fast. To my surprise my daughter really enjoyed her burrito. She is a tough one to please! The foxwood burrito was tasty. There was a nice sauce and everything was cooked well. My only complaint, keeping this from a five stat review would be the potatoes on the burrito. They had a bit of a freezer burn taste. It wasn't horrible but I noticed it. All in all this was a great little coffee shop that will please even the pickiest of eaters!

Shorty's quickly turned into one of the few places (the only one in Placerville) that makes my taste buds sing! Their chocolate cakes are decadent, their donuts pillowy soft (butter and salt being my favorite) and the most surprising of all; their canned tiramisu. I do not think it contains marsala per the original recipe but even so, it is by far superior to any other tiramisu I have had in the US. I do believe the owners have chosen to invest in good quality ingredients and it shows. I have yet to try their gelato so I cannot speak to that but if like me you miss your European desserts, this place is for you.
