Shaver Lake, California

Where the lake meets the table and every meal tells a story

Nestled on the shores of Shaver Lake, The Sawmill serves up hearty, home-style meals in a setting that captures the soul of the Sierra foothills. No pretense. Just good food, cold drinks, and the sound of the water.

A place where regulars become family

The Sawmill has been a Shaver Lake landmark for years — a place where fishermen cast their lines at dawn and return with stories (and hungry appetites). Our kitchen serves up the kind of food that sticks to your ribs: burgers grilled to order, breakfasts that power your morning on the water, and dinner plates that celebrate the flavors of the Sierra foothills.

Whether you're wrapping up a day on the lake or simply passing through the mountains, pull up a chair. The coffee's fresh, the views are real, and there's always room at our table.
