Solid Ground - Diamond Springs

Great food every time. Oh and the beer is good too. Can get busy on weekends. I allways get the spicy chicken sandwich.

My initial visit, 1/9/2022: First order of business-FILLING GROWLER; second order of business visit-down a glass o' beer, and finally, inhaling food! Wow~The combination of beer and food inhaled was sensually delectable, indeed. I incessantly keep passing by Solid Ground several times in a week but, I keep forgetting packing my growler before leaving my house . . . DOH! Welp~I must remember packing my growler on ice and putting inside my truck . . . FINALLY!!!! 6/1/2022: Second visit and my first order of business: FILLING GROWLER~AGAIN with HIGH-TEST, dark beer! I was contemplating eating inside but, all the tables were occupied . . . Standing room only! Next time, first order of business will be filling growler then, inhaling sumptuous food!

This place has changed so much since they first opened as far as the vibes and service. If you're here to buy beer and take it to go, it might not matter as much. Perhaps the pandemic has made finding good workers difficult because I don't know where the hell they picked up these rude, unpleasant, incompetent bar staff. No customer service whatsoever and *if* they do attend to you, they look like they're being inconvenienced. It's like they need to be reminded that they're nobodies which is why they're working that job in the first place. Don't walk around the place like you don't have to *service customers* because you don't actually own the place and you're just a lowly wage worker so why not just do your damn job? It's pathetic, so much so that I won't be a patron here anymore.

Always flawless, always innovative, love this spot. Never visit the Sierra without stopping here. I order the Ghost Pepper Gose AND the Sparking Red Pinot Gris (I hold my drinking hand pinky up from the flute when I sip the second).

Such a fan of their food and drinks all the way around! Best burger ever but today, the fish tacos! Whoa! ?
