Gooney's Bar & Grill

Great time and service last night. Amazing fried apps. The pickles and zucchinis were beyond amazing!! Very clean and nice since the change of hands. Have had bad service before but it's looking up since the change over!!

Great Pour's. Full Service Bar! Food is great. Love the dried Zucchini and onion rings. Juke box Rocks and billiards are almost level. Good atmosphere. Parking in back.

Beautiful remodel. Friendly staff. I didn't eat, just stopped in for a drink, but the menu was very appealing. Beautiful live edge wood bar. Can't wait to go back and try the food next time.

Good people, nice place to get a cold one on the way to a concert at Murphy's Ironstone Vineyards. The owner Ken and his entire staff are very courteous and just as friendly. Tell them Ed and Dru from Sacramento sent you and they'll treat you real nice!

Fish is great! Tartar sauce, best I've ever had. Staff very friendly, attentive .Drinks Great 👍

I have been going here for lunch every week and the bar manager and kitchen manager are exceptional. Great attitudes with great customer service. And the food is absolutely wonderful. Wendy

Fantastic food, a beautiful setting and Katie Sue, the bartender/waitress/cook, is a doll. This’ll be my San Andreas haunt for good.

Chelsea was the best and Chef Steve made us a delicious lunch! Excellent flavors and quality! We will be back!

If you’re looking for a top‑tier meal and a full bar in Calaveras County, Gooney’s Bar & Grill is the place. I had their fish & chips and WOW — the fish is perfectly battered and cooked just right, the fries are crisp, and the atmosphere is always welcoming and fun. Whether you're meeting friends, grabbing an easy dinner after a long day, or just craving something satisfying — this place has you covered.

This place is worth driving the distance from San Francisco. Service, bar and food are amazing. I have to say world class! The Chef is a "sleeper" he has fine dining training and has worked at well know resorts. Everything that came of of his kitchen was truly "5 star". I will be back just to eat and drink here. Super nice staff and genuine service.

Dropped in to catch playoff basketball game Big room, really good food, long bar for character. They use local grass fed beef - and my bud raved over the french fries. Great place to stop on a road trip.

Second time eating there, Steve and the new young bartender awesome, Steve had us try a piece of fish 🐟 off the menu, and a shot Skrewball peanut butter whiskey!!! So awesome, great menu! A must stop destination

Great people and great food. We were so happy with our food. Beef was from a local rancher and the veggie dish was perfect for non meat eaters.

Came for the food, there is none better in San Andreas!! Andre is an amazing chef! Staff was very friendly, and the bar area was clean and spacious. Lighting is a little low for mid day, so it's kinda dark inside, but that's pretty minor. Highly recommend the food!

Fried pickle chips. Get them. Burgers are very tasty. Fun old town atmosphere. It is a bar, no kids.

Wow. What a great place to spend an evening. I was very surprised by the atmosphere of this place. A brand new bar, with an old town attitude. Who knew San Andreas was capable of a place like this? Not only an excellent supply of food (amazing wings, fried pickles, avocado and asparagus) but a fairly decent selection of booze. Stop in and say hi to the locals and the owner who choose to call this place home.

The new food “Eat at Clarks” has the best fried chicken sandwich and garlic fries. These fries are shoestring. The only fry worth eating.

Nice atmosphere! It's beautiful when you walk in. I haven't had drinks here, yet, but I've ordered off their menu. I'm always willing to try somewhere. I ordered a cheese burger, med-rare and their garlic fries... SO GOOD. The burger was juicy and had so much flavor, I assume they added some other kind of spices. The garlic fries were smothered in garlic, just as I like. I had the worst garlic breath after, as planned. LOL My only hope is for dance nights or square dancing in the future ;) Can't wait to go out here with my friends for drinks. Food definitely passes!

What a walk back in time. I worked at the Red Brick ( cooking) beer back . And got my husbands phone number in this bar. The food I got for lunch was spot on, good job. 2 pool tables is correct. Now 1. Thank you

Super clean, friendly staff. That food though! Seriously so good every single time..

While working a job out in San Andreas one of the women that was with us suggested this place as a lunch option. Since none of the rest of us had any other ideas, to Gooneys we went. This was during one of the first PGE public safety shutoffs mind you, and as we walked in at 1245, the owner notified us that the power was scheduled to go off at 1pm and quickly took our order. Fingers crossed as we neared 1 o'clock we were delighted as our food came with much aplomb and anticipation was met with great satisfaction. The assorted plates were well prepared and presented, the fare was delicious and the power never did go out. It wouldn't have made a difference if it had the ambiance and friendly service staff were beyond expectation and the experience was great. We've since gone back when out in the area and always had a great time. This is a grand restaurant with a great history and good times. Fried avocado and pickles is hella delicious.

Opening day was the 'bomb diggity! If you didn't know better, you would think that you were in a low key spot in SF, instead of SA. Thanks to the newest owner, who appears to have invested in the cool new atmosphere. Pulled up that crazy white tile to reveal a real wood floor, that warms the place up. The new menu options are delicious and I'm including the fried pickles. Grab a baked good on the way out for the kids.

A lovely place with amazing food.

Nice place, great service and food. The fish and chips were great, all fish little batter - good. Hamburger fresh made & tasty.

Great deep fried zucchini. Light batter not greasy. The bloody Mary had a really good flavor.

Always friendly bartenders and nice people. Great music, pool table and several TV's . Opens at 4pm and earlier on Fri & Sat..

The avacodo fries are bomb, atmosphere is great, theres a weird rule where you cant smoke out front but you can do cocaine in front of the bartender on the bar. Pretty crazy to see especially on a random wednesday night all three people I'm with saw it and he wasnt even trying to hide it. Him and the bartender even laughed about it. But 4 stars for food.

We were there for dinner Fri night. We both had clam chowder delisious,. We also shared the fish and chips also delisious and fast service. My only suggestion is crackers or roll with soup. Even a grilled toast or roll with fish. But I recommend Gooneys for lunch or dinner.

The food was good but nearly as good as I had heard from others. I will go back again to see if maybe it was an off night. IMHO.

Katie Ann I believe was the bartender. Best bartender ever, remembered names and checked with you at perfect intervals. Food was okay, beer perfectly cold. Will definitely go again.

Late lunch so restaurant was empty. Lended to a personable experience and nice lunch. Talked a bit with the server. Food was good. Menu was simple with a small variety of dishes. Overall, place was comfortable; would definitely eat here again.

if they are slow, they will close. 2nd time I've went out to grab some good food, they were closed yet people still inside and they wouldn't let us in.

Since new owner took over this is not your go to local bar anymore they charge $6 for a draft beer in a plastic cup and they used to have 3 pool tables now just one. Should have saved your money and kept it the way it was. Sad because your the only bar in town.

I had the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on it. Meat has no sauce, was rather dry and coleslaw was tasteless. Came with garlic fries I was looking forward to but I've never seen any like theirs. Regular french fries rather undercooked with a few cloves of crushed garlic on top of the fries mostly in globs. Soft drink dispenser needed to be cleaned because I could taste the mold. I won't go back. Cute place though.

I had the roast beef dip The meat was tuff and chewy the bread was burnt. I ordered garlic fries and got regular fries. I will not be going back there any time soon.

had a weird lady follow us out and ask why we were leaving. Just stopped for a beer with my pops and brother in law. no reflexion on the bartender. Just strange San Andreas people I hope...

Horrible food they comped me and my wife after having lunch. Don’t know who wrote the good reviews. Food was bland and mostly frozen. Nothing fresh. Will not go there again.

I was having a drink and saw the cook walk by me with a salad. It was a Caesar salad with chicken. It looked great so I decided to order it to go. When I got home and opened it I was so DISAPPOINTED It was nothing like the one I witnessed. Here is the kicker: the salad I saw had multiple peace’s of.chicken on top and was served to a local attorney! Shame on you cook for not making it for me as you did for the attorney Mark this is not up to your standards

Called 3 times advising them we were bringing 16-20 people for lunch today. Well after waiting an hour and No one ever took any orders we all left. Why bother calling and giving them a heads up? Especially after eight tod no problem!!! Never again!!!!

Bar service was fine but it took almost an hour to get our food which was not good. The hamburger bun fell apart and the salad was full of more croutons than salad. Do not recommend eating here
