The Forester Pub & Grill

Absolute home run. Forester pub is everything you could hope for from German style home food. Phenomenal

Had the beef stroganoff w/spaetzle, saurkraut side. And man I had almost forgotten what good saurkraut actually taste like! Slightly sweet. Not just the store jar stuff. And the beef stroganoff was... a number of words to include but not limited to harty, juicy, filling, delicious, great all around, great ammount of beef and mushooms to noodles and gravy. Wife's beef dip was evidently pretty dam good as well. She stole a little of my saurkraut and added to her sandwich which complimented it and made it even better. Definitely would recommend.

Nice small restaurant with inexpensive good and good service. Coffee was excellent. Had the meatloaf with wild rice, fries and beer battered onion rings. Meatloaf was excellent although a little bit salty. Beef Stroganoff was also good. Large portions with enough leftovers for dinner next day. Plenty of parking and eat to get to from HWy 50

We came here after a long day of picking and chopping apples, not wanting to make our own dinner. I really didn't know what to expect, but I was very happy with what we ordered.

The service was fast and friendly, even being pretty busy. We ordered the Ribeye; the meat was tender, with not too much fat, and most importantly it wasn't too greasy like many pubs/bar restaurants. The mashed potatoes and gravy was good, as were the fresh chopped veggies.

Our server checked in on us in regular intervals, not too often, and not leaving us waiting or wondering. The pricing wasn't bad, certainly not cheap, but perhaps a little higher due to it being in a small town farther away from large supply stores.

We will certainly be coming back, it's nice to have such a good spot so close to where we live.

Update 06/16/2022: We have been back many times, and tried different items each time and every time has been good. Thanks for the consistently good food!

We asked for a dinner recommendation while we were visiting Placerville and a local recommend this spot to us! Apparently this is where all the locals go. The prices were reasonable. The food was deliciously. Service was excellent. We ordered the fries appetizer, beef stroganoff, and their pork German dish. This place is known for their German dishes, very large portions.
