So, next time you’re in Napa, remember: wineries are great, but have you tried Napa's BBQ?
I got the triptip sandwich (super delicious)! My bf got a burger (he loved it). The pickle was delicious too! Cool ambiance! Service was really nice! Servers and bar people were friendly! 10/10 recommend!
Is there nothing that Bounty Humter doesn't do perfectly? I'd be skeptical of anyone who reviews this place at less than max stars. Vibe is chill but can get noisy. Can't hate on them for success. Service is so very friendly and good. Oh yeah, food... I've been coming here for years. They have a menu with zero mistakes. If you don't like your food, sorry but it's because you mis ordered. BH is one of my favorite restaurants in the world and I never miss in opportunity to eat here.
Our server was friendly and fast! Our food was great. My husband had the tri tip special with baked beans and corn bread. I could have made a meal out of his sides! I ordered the soda can stacker chicken sandwich. Very tasty, flavorful without being too salty or spicy. I had a delicious cocktail, the Spiced Hugo Spritz. We loved being able to walk right out to the Napa Lighted Art Festival on the river walk right outside the door. Would come back.
Wineries are cool, but HAVE YOU TRIED NAPA'S BBQ?? I will admit, I laughed a little when I read they were "Napa's Best BBQ." I didn't know if that was a hard title to come by? But from service, to ambiance, to the appetizers/main course/dessert.. I literally ate my words. The beer can chicken was tempting, but we went for the BBQ platter instead. I love honey mustard and BH's sauce was so good that I asked for a few more to go. It really elevated the frozen chicken nuggets I had at home lol. I'm still thinking about the cornbread and I really wish I ordered more to bring home. Overall, great time and I hope to come back again soon. Think about stopping here before or after your show at Blue Note, it's in perfect walking distance!
After a day of wine tasting we came here to eat. Fortunately they were able to accommodate 8 of us last minute even though they were quite busy, but not particularly noisy. Our server was very on top of it, the food came out very close together so we didn't have to wait and she was very attentive. The orange and cream negroni sounded very unique so I had to try it, delicious! Somewhat of a dessert drink, tastes like an orange creamsicle and pretty boozy. Everything we had was good. The sandwiches come with just meet but the sauces on the table are a tasty way go jazz it up. I do wish you had more options for sides with the platter. I'm used to getting 2 sides with that much meat. The mac n cheese was a little oily for my preference. The s'mores pie was absolutely phenomenal!
4 stars because I'm a BBQ snob from GA and the ribs were legit. Tender, fall off the bone and smokey dry rubbed. Service (Ally) was delightful. Considering the Napa pricing, everything else was just okay. We had: Wedge salad (the blue cheese dressing was the best part) Side of half sour pickles (they were definitely more that "half" sour, not as crispy as I'd have expected) Bowl of soup (creamy cauliflower was nice and warm but sadly not much flavor) St. Louis Rib Plate (this was hands down the best part of the meal.) Next time I'd like to try their beer can chicken because it looked and smelled amazing coming from the kitchen, but will probably skip the apps and soup.
Went here for quick lunch and rest since we had a productive morning. The place a nice, comfy and charms for BQQ. It located right next to the river so spot on for location. The services can be better, he was not nice and/or into his work or simply not his day. But at least he did his job. We ordered a bbq sampler so we had 3 types of meat, wedge salad, a flight of wine and a cocktail - which all are fantastic. My kid loved the meat plate and ate majority of it. And he gave 5 stars for it. I would too but for the place, the prices I would expect the service can be better so I took .5 off but I couldn't do 1 it is
Waaaay better than the Bounty Hunter in Walnut Creek! Smaller venue with a much smaller bar but the food was delicious!!! The BBQ was perfect The smoked prime rib sandwich was the best I've ever had. Super small 4-5 seat bar but the service was on point. It was crowded but we weren't rushed. One of my new go to's in Napa!!!
This warm and welcoming bbq joint has smokey flavor coming from the kitchen. The interior is a little small but it's mighty. They offer a great list of wines. The restaurant makes their famous beer can chicken in the back patio. The bbq meats are delicious. The rib meat fell off the bone. Yum! We loved the beer can chicken sandwich with chipotle bbq sauce. The service was good. We wish they had ranch dressing but their wedge salad with blue cheese was very good. Service
