Poor Reds BBQ - El Dorado (CA)

3 /5 ROBINSON (Them_robinsons): We have been here multiple times. Typically always a great time and awesome food. Today was the worst time weve had and the first time ive seen a gentleman i believed to be the owner (you would think it would be better). The girl helping us started out fine, was a party of like 12, we never got our appetizers then when I told her to go ahead and forget it because we were already half done with our meal she became angry, asked her for a knife so I could cut my steak and she literally threw it on the table and walked away. Then asked her for a refill of water and she completely ignored me and brought everyone elses. FOOD THAT WE GOT WAS GREAT. Hopefully the girl was just having a bad day. It wasnt busy so theres no excuse for her attitude. Ill be back and ill update if its better next time.

4 /5 Chuck Kluz: Bigger place than you expect walking up, the old original building with expansion and outdoor patio seating. Nice selection of beers, indoor and outdoor bars. Ribs werent a fully smoked BBQ, but oven made with sauce, but alright. Macaroni with bacon was nice. Probably stick to the wait staff recommended burgers is good choice.

5 /5 Helen Ohland: Went on Jan 1. They opened early. The place was packed. Had a group of 8. Even tho busy, our food all came out at the same time and wasn’t cold. Our server checked on us several times, despite being crazy busy. The pulled pork sliders were yummy. Everyone liked their food, no complaints. I miss the long tables where you’d sit family style but Poor Red’s still can’t be beat.

5 /5 Rayleen Wagner: Gold Rush era murals inside make this bar and restaurant a great! Historical destination. Be sure to try the Cadillac, theyre famous for it. Outstanding service. We didnt try any food.
