Our food was fantastic. Pastrami burger, Pastrami dog, chili cheese fries and an apple pie Carmel shake. Oh my. Pastrami was the best ever. Charity was very friendly. She came out to see how everything was. Next time we are in Placerville, we will be back.

Awesome food, great customer service. My family enjoys coming here any chance we get. ...

This place is amazing. The 44 was the best burger Ive had in years and possibly in my whole life, perfectly sized and cooked patties. My brother ate his in less than 5 minutes. We will be coming back to try more items

Amazing burgers!! The fries and milkshakes were great too! I will be back and highly recommend! Not a ton of seating, but some outdoor options

Very good food, very friendly and quick service. Its morning like a fast food like McDonalds or Burger King the for is like you make it at home and its actually about 3 cheaper than eating at my McDonalds. Highly recommend and easy access on and if highway 50!

WOW!!!! WHAT A GREAT PLACE! I HAD THE DOUBLE CHEESE BURGER AND A BOX OF FRIES. IT WAS AMAZING! PROBABLY THE BEST BURGER IVE HAD IN A WHILE, THE FRIES WERE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD NICE AND CRISPY! I DEFINITELY WOULD ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO TRY IT. THE NEW OWNERS ARE AMAZING!

Sometimes you just need an amazing burger! Old school burger stands just cant be beat! The ladies were playful, making meal suggestions. And the chocolate shake? OMG! Hook me up to an IV! I hope to make it back!

We dont come out this way very often once a year probably, but when we do we make it a point to stop here and grab a chili dog and some chili fries. This place is a dive, but worth it, every time. A hidden gem. Sorry that I dont have any pictures of me deep throating a chili dog, but its a sight to behold. Dont be jealous ladies.
