Breakfast here is great. They have a large selection of homemade pies. It is a great place to eat in Placerville, it has been there for decades. Love the teapot collection and all the vintage decor.

Chicken fried steak was huge! Thin but not as lean as I’d like it. A tad too much gravy for me but overall good. The portions here are large. Seevice was great and welcoming.

The decor had me lost and all the great choices made my order even harder. Very generous portions and a very warm inviting atmosphere in the heart of historic Hangtown.
