I love a place that will make it your way. And it really helps when the servers know the menu well enough to help with special dietary needs. A great menu highlighted by the spetsle. We have fans of this special place for years. The deck is a comfortable place for kids and pets.

Went here with my boyfriend and my 3 boys. The service was great. When she brought the bill I gave her my cc and due to a screw up at my bank my cc was declined but the waitress was really understanding and gracious about it which I really appreciated. I couldn't leave her much of a tip that day but I will be a return customer and I an on leaving her a fat tip

We have been going here for years and it is excellent. Food is outstanding and their service is even better.

We absolutely love this place after a hike. Service, ambiance, ice cold beer and food are great. This is our club's go-to place to socialize after a hard day on the trail. There just is no faster, caring service!!

We entered this quaint restaurant to find a Buck stove warming the place! Great service, and our meals were perfect, even after requesting a few food substitutions. I'll be back!

Was taken here by a local. I was told it was German bar food. I was extremely surprised by my chicken and dumplings. More of a fusion/deconstructed plate. Perfectly seasoned and delicious. Also the red cabbage was on point.

Pleasant, never made uncomfortable, good food, pleasant homey atmosphere, nice outside deck. Never left hungry. Wife (Dottie) and I are very old, and have always enjoyed the German food . Gone there for long time. Like eating at a friends house.

This place is in the middle of apple hill so we stopped here for lunch. It looks like a house converted into a restaurant. Everything is made of wood and they have a two wood stoves. The menu is mostly German food. Last time I came here I had the chicken and dumplings and they were great. This time I had the meatloaf and that was also good.

Sometimes I go just to have a plate of the fried zucchini. Kind staff, yummy food, generous portions, warm atmosphere, and good prices. I send my loved ones there and would recommend it to you as well!

We just were delightfully impressed - both our meals were excellent - goulash was to dye for w/ dumplings - the chicken in cream sauce w/ mushrooms and spaetzle were perfect - good service - totally worth going not to mention the clean mountain air

The recent changes to the interior and menu were made to hone in on their German theme - which is exactly what they’ve accomplished. The interior is perfect - comfortable, with the decor and music both fitting. The food was spectacular. Like a home cooked meal from people who value our shared European heritage. Portions were plentiful - flavor was light and just right - food well-prepared. All brought together by the owners Helen and her husband Bill (and other family in the kitchen) who bring this place together mit Leib und Seele.

Never disappointed in this place. Great service. I had the Hungarian Goulash with spaetzle. It was wonderful. Others raved about the fish-and-chips and the chicken cordon blue. Waitress did 8 separate checks without complaining, (it was a surprise party). Had the party room to ourselves which was really nice.

Visiting from out of town. Super great food- the butternut carrot soup, dinner bread, and goulash. All fresh and hot! Can tell it’s made right in the kitchen. Highly recommend!

The food is great! This is fine dining in a mountain cafe setting. Bring lots of money, as quality costs. (Burgers from $8.95, to Steak dishes $25.00) Great selection of German and American cuisine. The Bar serves Beer and Wine, but not sure about hard liqueur. Service is fantastic as well.

Such delicious Jagerschnitzel and spaetzle, this is our new favorite stop en route to and from Tahoe. YUM!

Stopped by after a snow day higher up in the mountains and the forester did not disappoint. Good food, nice staff, crazy fast service, and a warm atmosphere. Basically everything someone could ask for in a local pub. We’ll definitely come back here the next time we’re up this way.

One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Every one loved there dinner and dessert. The owners were great too

We recently moved to the area, so my wife and I have been checking out some of the local eateries and checking them out. We heard the Forester was pretty good, so we thought we would cruise by and check it out. I was not disappointed at all! This place is a cross between German and American Comfort food, with some pretty good beers on tap. Driving through town, it looks like everything is Pizza, Burgers, and Sandwiches... so I was ecstatic to find something different in the area. We tried several things off the menu and they were all delicious, the service was good, and you could tell it was a local hangout. Many of the people there seemed to be regulars or maybe locals who knew the staff. We'll definitely be going back at some point to try the other menu items.

Since we are moving into the area, I decided to check out The Forester Pub & Grill. It has an appealing country cabin look and feel about it...perfect setting among the tall Pine and Redwood trees. Once inside, I was greeted by a cheerful lady that sat me down at a nice booth. I reviewed the menu and thought, WOW...everything I like! It was hard to choose from the amazing assortment of dishes. I settled on a Patty Melt and Onion Rings. The patty melt was huge and the onion rings were done to perfection! Then, a customer walked up and introduced himself. He just asked if I was from around there, and I said we just bought a house nearby. He greeted me to the area and told me a little bit about himself. Very nice retired fellow. Everyone in the restaurant seemed happy and also seemed to know many of the other patrons. I would imagine this is a popular place for the locals (I guess I am now one of them). I will be stopping by very frequently now that I have experienced the camaraderie of the employees, customers and owners. I highly recommend The Forester Pub & Grill!

Very good traditional German food and beer. The sandwiches are also excellent. The waitresses are all very accommodating and friendly. I eat here maybe once every 2 months and they remember my face, which is something you don't see anymore in California restaurants.

Loooove this place! Has been many different restaurants, but this is our favorite! Operated by folks who ran St. Pauli Inn further up 50. Delicious German dishes and HUGE portions! So happy they are still around just sad we live out of state and can't go. Best Goulash ever!! Spaetzle is amazing!!!

What's not to love. Food is always good. Lots of different food items than in most pubs. I had pot roast and my husband had Shepard's pie. All taste as if you made it at home except you do not have to clean a dirty kitchen when your done eating. Very clean and warm staff... In the summer it's nice to sit on the back deck underneath the trees have lunch or dinner. We will be back again.

The food and atmosphere are amazing! It is truly a pub. Try the Cottage Pie and Corned Beef. I drive up from Sacramento occasionally JUST to eat here. Also, they have dog friendly seating outside which automatically makes them a favorite to me. Staff has always been courteous and service quick, even when they are busy.

If you loooove potatoe pancakes like I do, you have got to give the foresters a try because they are absolutely AMAZING! And that’s coming from a girl who grew up eating her grandma’s homemade latkes/tater pancakes for breakfast lunch & dinner & Hanukkah & Christmas (yes, this Jew celebrated both. I was lucky lol) & EVERY other holiday! So yea, you gotta give them a try! There’s a ton of other good food here, too .. and the servers are aaaaalways super sweet. Love this place.

The Fish&Chips were excellent- although I can't wait to come back for the German food. It's so refreshing to see a menu that isn't just burgers. Our awesome server was an added bonus. I'm very disappointed in myself for not coming here sooner.

This place is wonderful for a gathering of large people 20+. One they have a separate seating area and wonderful customer service. Also had no problem doing separate bills for the 10 separate parties. They were quick and efficient even with the large amount of orders. Our group are within a half hour of ordering. The place was cozy and each bathroom had two restroom. there was ample parking.

I love this place! We live down in Elk Grove and come up this way for our Christmas tree every year, we always end the evening at The Forester. The authentic German selections are outstanding and serving is always great. The gentleman we had at our last visit was very friendly and always made sure our drinks were full. I didn't catch his name but I believe he was the bartender.

Great service and delicious food! The Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich was excellent.

Debbie was an awesome server. She was handling the dining room and the patio effectively. The soup really hit the spot.

Great food & beverages and best service. Had a German Wienerschnitzel and this amazing strawberry dumpling for dessert.

Awesome food and service! Real German food and beer. Lots of menu choices.

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

Cannot find a better shniztel anywhere in the area! Spaetzle is also fabulous! House wine is Findleton and it is only $6. Amazing!

This place was fantastic. The food was delicious with plenty of options for vegetarians, and they had a great beer menu too. Staff was helpful and service was fast even though they were slammed.

Great food in Camino. Need a beer or a glass of wine? Need a meal in El Dorado county? Several German inspired dishes such as stroganoff, goulash, and weinershnitzel plus great beef, fish and chips, and much more. Definitely the place to go in this part of El Dorado County.

Great selection of dishes from European and American. Clam chowder was full of clams. Fast and friendly service. Must try the deserts! Will for sure go back when in the area.

Friend recommended this place and took me here after a day of fun at lake jenkinson. Was pleasantly surprised. Amazing food, service, and atmosphere. Will definitely be returning!!!

2nd time visiting over a 3month period - both times excellent. Staff is friendly, warm and quick to accommodate. Food was outstanding! Don’t miss this place if you get a chance to stop in for a meal… truly a terrific all around experience.

I highly recommend this place, I think it is a little gem and great value. The owners have streamline the menu with a greater focus on German food but there many other offerings as well. The food is excellent and the portions huge (half portions are available on some items), service is very friendly and the pace of the meal was good. We have been there twice in the last few weeks and been consistently pleased.

This place is amazing!! I had the chicken and dumplings entree and the beef soup, and they were both incredible. This place has a very homey feel; the atmosphere is so comfortable and cozy. I will definitely be back for another relaxing evening with perfect food!!

We had dinner here tonight. It was delicious! Salad was crisp, variety of veggies and topped with blue cheese crumbles. The meatloaf and Jaegerschnitzel were really good. Love that they offer smaller plates for seniors/smaller appetites, etc. The remodel came out really nice-cozy! We've been coming here for years...many of the dishes come from St. Pauli Inn...remember it up highway 50 before they moved to Camino? 👍

Great service. Great food. Fun mountain-home atmosphere. If you’re looking for some great cooking, look no further! Only had the opportunity to try a couple different burgers, but I hear the other food is amazing as well. Will visit again.

Great place with delicious German food. Service is very generous and kind. The host at the hotel across the street recommended The Forester and I'm glad she did! Really enjoyed the pork schnitzel with a great German draft pilsner.

I eagerly look forward to returning to this place. Was a happy accident discovered while en route to a different restaurant. Boy, what a joy to walk into the wrong restaurant. I had the breaded steak with mushroom gravy, German fried potatoes and red cabbage, followed by homemade peach strudel a la mode. Everything was fresh and delicious with friendly service and a nice dining atmosphere. Especially ideal after a long strenuous hike and you need comfort food.

Place was great. Cordon Bleu, sausage platter, and calamari steak. Loved those entrees, but the soup was amazing. Cabbage and ham, but more like kitchen sink. Will be stopping by more frequently now that I know what this place is about.

Amazing food and customer service!! Even the takeout tastes just as amazing!

This has become our place while up visiting Apple Hill....this last time we sat out on the deck and enjoyed a nice meal at the end of a long day. The German cuisine may have entree names that are unfamiliar, but the food was delicious across the board. The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home, and it's in a great spot off the main road (easy to find). Will be back!

Had the BEST HAMBURG I'VE EVER HAD IN MY HOLE LIFE the flavor profile (I don't eat much meat) was unbelievable.

So amazingly delicious. Perfect environment. Amazing hidden gem in the mountains.

Absolutely love this place, our first time here, the food, service and ambience was outstanding, very authentic German restaurant, highly recommended and worth the drive

Food was fantastic! I had the soup special to start which was pork cabbage and it was outstanding. I followed with the Goulash over spaetzel with red cabbage. It was excellent, the red cabbage may have been the best I've had. I finished with the apple strudel and ice cream and again was not disappointed. Service was great, I had a very helpful and attentive waitress. I will return and can't wait to taste other items on the menu. We'll done folks, keep up the good work!

Excellent and authentic German food with additional non-German meals as well. A decent selection of beer including German beers in bottles and on tap. The staff are courteous and efficient. The atmosphere is what you would expect in Camino - warm, lodge like experience heated by a wood stove. It is a 40 minute drive for us but well worth it.

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!

My wife found this place on TripAdvisor after a long and wonderful day kayaking on Lake Jenkinson. We were hopeful, but didn’t really know what to expect but wow what a highway 50 gem! We were hopeful, but didn’t really know what. Even though slightly shortstaffed with servers, Service was amazing and German influenced food was incredible! We are glad we found this place, and will definitely be back. Steak, Heidelberg, special and chicken cordon bleu.

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.

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

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 rustic place. No breakfast but that's ok cause the food is very good and service is excellent. Chicken and shrimp tacos were excellent along with the chicken gravy dumpling. Can't wait to come back and try the menu!

An amazing authentic home style German restaurant was a wonderful surprise find from Google after a few hours at Apple Hill nearby. We also learned restaurant came after the very populsr St Pauli Inn closed (past Ice House Rd on Hwy 50). Loved the Dumplings, Sausage Sampler, Weinerschnitzel and Rouladen.

A delicious treat out! Quite an honest pure representation of German cuisine!! Great authentic flavors and styles!!!

Quite loved this place the time my husband and I went here. Food was pretty good, very happy to have another great restaurant in the area

I literally feel like I’m in Germany here. Such a great vibe and very authentic German cuisine. Their cordon blue, schnitzel, and duck are all my favorites. Each meal comes with a soup or salad. Fries and potato bread is really good. They also cary local wines and beer. Don’t forget to order the apple or peach dumplings for desert. You won’t be disappointed!

Great place to stop for either lunch or dinner when you're in the Camino/Apple Hill area. Plenty of options on the menu, both food and drink, with appropriately-sized portions. Good, friendly service as well. The setting was definitely enhanced due to the falling snow while we were there, kind of made you not want to leave.

Visiting family in the area and we were glad to see they're open on Tuesdays. Fish and chips was delicious. Happy to see they offered a smaller portion as well. Server was friendly. Lots of other menu items looked tasty as well 😊

Nice little pub, stopped here after snowboarding in Tahoe to get some drinks and food before driving home. We got fish and chips, chicken wings, garlic fries and chicken tenders. All were very good, however the chicken tenders were not what we were expecting. It was just a chicken patty that was breaded and then cut into strips; a bit disappointing, but it would have been worse and not real chicken. The rest of the food was very good, plenty of garlic of the fries, good sizes of fish but a tad too much breading, and the wings were good. Staff was friendly and seemed to be a place that has regulars stopping by each night. Would consider stopping here again.

Been driving by this place for a couple years since I moved nearby. Always thought, hmm, gotta try it. Really happy I finally did, it is a great place for a good meal. Good food, good service. I'll be a regular!

I was hankering for fish & chips. I was taken to this place. What a fabulous delightful surprise. The fish & chips were good, not oily or over cooked, just right; moist & tasty cod. Not overly battered, just right, crisp, hot, & good. The chips were homemade, fresh, big/thick & not overly oily or soggy. I have had only one better fish & chips in Monterey/Carmel, CA. I highly recommend this dish. It sure satisfied my months of craving for good fish & chips. Most make it way too oily, soggy or way too crisp (over cooked) or way too much heavy batter. Not at this place. It is just plain good, satisfying, a real treat!!!

Nice variety of food. Pork Goulash was very good. Wife has "had better schnitzel". Pot roast a little tough. Both soups good. Nice selection of beers.

The restaurant itself is nice. You can tell it is a hangout for the locals. My husband and I both ordered the meatloaf. There is only one waitress and she was hustling, luckily it wasn’t too busy. The food was ok. The wine was great! I ordered the strawberry biscuit for dessert and it was delicious. Way too much for one person to eat. Definitely a must try!

Visitng town and family recommended The Forester for dinner. From them, I found out the history of the Past and Present of the restaurant. The old location, the new and still shifting into full gear in some parts. Noting they are getting the flow going, sometimes felt a little hectic, but there were so many redeeming points. My favorite was having a small conversation with Helen after dinner. Bill she mentioned you as well! I had the Jagersnitzel w Kraut and Dumpling w Gravy. If you've experienced true German food before. You can appreciate this food greatly. The dumpling was spectacular, the pork was juicy while breading was soaking in the greatness from the mushroom gravy. We only visit a couple times of year and will make this a staple. Bill & Helen, keep on doing what youre doing. Its hard to run a business, let alone make one feel like home with good food. "Showing love from Southern California 🤙"

Nice little Pub & Grill off the beaten path! They just serve beer and wine, but they have a decent selection of bottled beers as well as 9 on tap. I didn't see the selection of wine so I can't say to that. Now the food was excellent! I have the party melt, which was served with my choice of fries. It had just the right amount of cheese and onions. I'd get it again! My wife had the beef dip (French Dip) with a salad. Hers came on a soft hoagie roll. I had to take a bite, oh man, so delicious! All in all a good place to stop and have a bite to eat!

After long drive this place offers the perfect food and service to satisfy the appetite.

I've heard great things. They were packed when we got there. We just got our first real snow so there were too many flatlanders to go. Huge line. I'm sure it was worth the wait but our 4 year old was starving! We went to placerville for lunch instead but I cannot wait to go here. Staff was very friendly and SUPER BUSY.

Lovely place with a good selection of food choices. We had a steak (cooked perfectly) and Chicken Cordon Bleu, which was delicious. Salad was very fresh and the Clam Chowder was loaded with clams. Fast and friendly service made everything even better.

Having been there in a while but definitely love their buffalo burgers

Good German food with friendly staff. On occasions when I go to Apple Hill I try to come here for dinner due to there being a back patio and I normally have my dog. If you like German food, definitely worth trying.

Great staff, menu and environment. They even let us bring in our dog because their patio was closed. The flavors were good in all our orders, but the texture wasn't on everything. The broccoli in the broccoli cheese soup was soft to the point of mush, same with the potato noodles that came with the schnitzel. The schnitzel was a little small/thin, but again the flavor was good. The bison burger and french dip were good, not great, as are the fries and onion rings.

Very good, local German restaurant. Food was fresh, hot and generous portions. The wine sauce on the chicken schnitzel was a little too thick for my preference but the dish was tasty.

The Forrester Pub & Grill has a bit of everything from American classics such as Burgers, Steaks and Prime Rib to German classics such as Wienershcnitzel. I am happy to have tried their German dishes. The Hungarian Goulosh which consists of Serloin Pork Stew. The meat was so tender and the seasoning just right. I expected a little bitterness which was their for that geographical taste palette. The others in my party reported their meals and sandwiches are great tasting. I will have to give The Forrester Pub & Grill a 4 Stars rating. Although our wait staff very kind and on our drink refills, this location doesn't have any Military or Veterans Discount. Although the wait staff did say they wish it were the case.

It was my husband's birthday, and even though choc cake was on menu. Had none. The place, even though located in a historic logging area, there was almost no logging history. It could have been in San Dimas instead of Camino, CA. I have been to this restaurant before. I hope it gets better. The pot roast was slices in gravy with steamed veggies. Good clam chowder.

We wanted good German food, and went out of our way to try this place. Service was prompt and friendly, and except for the flies inside the restaurant, the place looked clean. The food is decidedly mediocre. Skip anything German on the list. They don't have any sausage plates anyway (a German food restaurant without sausage?) I ordered Beef Stroganoff with spsetzle and red cabbage. The spaetzle was ok, the red cabbage had a really odd flavor and two of us left it on the plate. I'd say if you want to stop here for a small meal and a beer, do so. That's about it's caliber. The hot dog on the small plates list was very good, and quite a lot of food. Another patron who dines there said the fish and chips is really good, but agreed on the Stroganoff being so-so. Disappointing.

The food is good, but how on earth are the servers allowed to walk around with no masks on? And the seating isn't spaced out 6 feet apart. Considering its California, I expected much more consideration for the customers' health and safety.

The drinks were great and the staff was very friendly, but the food varied. Some dishes were pretty good, some were mediocre, and the steak was just bad. Despite being ordered medium rare, it was dry and very chewy. Ruined. Avoid the steak and you should be fine.

Recently painted and brightened interior. New dinner menu, much more condensed than the previous but still a good variety. I had pork tenderloin that was extremely dry, the potato pancake tasted like glue, the fresh veggie was good but overly smothered in a cheese sauce. German chocolate cake was good, huge serving. We will give it another try because we have loved it for so many years... hope they will rediscover the old "flair!"

I am not happy about their menu change - I hope it works for them. I also was not happy that my mother and I clearly ordered the smaller 1/3lb hamburger. We pointed at it, and she acknowledged a 1/3lb but gave us the 1/2lb. So we were courious if they did that just to charge more money. I really do not think that is an okay behavior.

A casual place visited by locals for adult beverages and comfort food. The eclectic menu offers everything from buffalo burgers, tacos, chicken & dumplings to sauerkraut and Wiener schnitzel. We tried the buffalo burger (standard size). It was a substantial portion, cooked as requested and served with hot fries. The fish tacos were very good. We got them grilled. The chicken and dumplings were a disappointment as they were not prepared in the historic fashion. I would call them deconstructed at best. Everyone look like they were having a great time. It was warm and friendly with moderately older couples populating the Friday night crowd.

The mashed potatoes were watered down but the burger was ok. Oddly enough they offer a buffalo meat burger but their Angus beef patty was less to be desired. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't great. We had heard that they had a pool table and pinball machines. All I found was the pool table. I would be wary of the condiments. Our ketchup was thin and runny so I grabbed one from another table. It seemed to be fine. Our waitress was really friendly and we were treated well.

Had an awful experience last night. My food was cold and flavorless. My daughter's burger was served to her raw. The waitress never came to check on us for about 30 minutes. Must have been on break or something, we never saw her after she gave us our food. She corrected the issue once we told her about it. Never got a refill on my drink so I couldn't wash the horrible taste the food left in my mouth. We spent 2 hours here.The food is over priced and the place is out dated.

CHANGE BACK TO YOUR OLD MENU!!!! We use to go here all the time. I loved the chicken cordon blue and the cabbage was awesome. The person that took over making your food does it no justice. It was horrible. We have tried 3 different times and nothing seems to be the same. What a shame…you were so good and now horrible. I won’t be back. I notice you are hardly open anymore. Closed for lunch????? Not worth the money anymore.

I used to love this restaurant, i had the rehearsal dinner for my wedding here. But their recent remodel combined with redoing the menu and general policies has left me so disappointed I will not recommend this place any further. I used to always bring family and friends here from out of the area. The food was outstanding and it was a top option for an area with limited choices. But now, they have removed ALL KIDS MEALS from the menu. Any food my daughter might eat is listed as an appetizer and does not come with any sides. Additionally, no drinks. I ordered a beer and received a smaller size for a higher price. Many of the previous menu options are gone and what is left has increased in price by over 20%. My wife's preferred choices are all gone or moved to the appetizer selection with a similar price point and no sides. I expect to pay a decent price to feed a family of six. But now I pay more, get less food, my kids don't get sides, my beer is smaller and drinks don't come with any kids meals (which are not on the menu). I ate here several times a year with family and friends over the past decade. It's with great disappointment and a touch of shame for a local restaurant that i will not come back here and will steer other away. There are many other restaurants in this area far more deserving of your dollar. Try 50 Grand or Sportsman's Hall (just up the road) instead for much better value.
