Main Street Melters - (Near Placerville, CA)

5 /5 Cesar Torres: Such a good find. We were up here for our son’s baseball game. I missed lunch and looking for a spot to eat. We stumbled upon this charming spot. I ordered the Thanksgiving, my mom ordered a spicy chipotle and my wife had roast beef. All were tasty. Next time I will grab a beer and enjoy the front patio a bit longer.

5 /5 Naomi Harrell: Best pastrami I have ever had hands down! Warm friendly staff from the cashier to the back of house wore a genuine smile.. My new favorite place to eat in Placerville!

5 /5 JLamp Dazme: Great customer service, hometown feel, regulars in the house, and sandwiches are unique and tasty. Had the TAD, yes please! Turkey is REAL and not processed, sauces were good, avacodos soft and fresh, and the bread was easy to eat with good crunch. Definitely check this spot out if youre in the area.

5 /5 Shelly G: The Main Street Melters – A Must-Stop in Placerville Heading upHighway 50 on our anniversary and husband’s birthday celebrate and fishing trip along Highway 395, we stumbled upon this little gem in the heart of historic downtown Placerville. The Main Street Melters is a funky, welcoming sandwich shop right on the corner of Main Street—perfect for people-watching and soaking up the small-town charm from their great outdoor patio. I ordered the Cali Club, which came wrapped in two hearty halves—plenty to save one for later. My husband had The Rancher, also a double meat sandwich, and it was so big they automatically wrapped half to-go. At $15.50, these are generous, high-quality sandwiches—and totally worth it. Don’t let the price throw you off—there are more affordable options on the menu, too. What really stands out is the quality. Every ingredient tasted fresh—from the crisp produce to the local bread that was clearly just baked. They use Boar’s Head meats and cheeses, freshly sliced, and you can absolutely taste the difference. These aren’t your average deli sandwiches—they’re elevated, flavorful, and made with care. They also offer tacos, fresh salads, and a rotating tap list since it doubles as a beer spot. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the whole vibe was relaxed and welcoming. We’ll definitely be back—next time, we’re grabbing a few sandwiches to take down to the river and share. If you’re passing through Placerville, make this your go-to lunch stop. You won’t be disappointed.
