A few people have recommended this place so we decided to give it a try. We were greeted upon arrival and it definitely gives a bounty hunter vibe. Service was fast and the food was really good. The burger was cooked to perfection and the shrimp Louie salad was amazing! Both items were quite filling! I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu.

I can say that this place does do a good BBQ. Decided to go with the slider trio I wanted a taste of all meats. The pulled pork is amazing, truly a good one. Brisket definitely has a good taste as well, love it. The chicken was good as well but loved the others much more. On all I wish came with a BBQ sauce already on there. I know there is sauces on the side, I guess I wanted a little more of a messy sandwich but still good. Service is definitely nice, not to attentive but l check in when needed. The one thing I'm highly surprised about is the hunters old fashion. I saw the gentleman bartender making it and noticed no stirring but yet the taste on this cocktail wasn't bad. Compared to the last few old Fashions I have tasted recently it was actually good. Especially for a pre-made spirit they use. Bravo team!

Had wonderful service and food last night at bounty hunter. The whole vibe inside the restaurant was super fun. We did a starter of the smoked wings which were so good!! I ordered a black and tan and my spouse ordered the wine fight. I also really enjoyed the French dip and the Mac and cheese side. Will visit again on a Friday to try the smoked prime rib. You definitely need a reservation fyi.

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

Probably some of the best barbecue I've ever had. Definitely check them out if you are in the Napa area. I recommend getting the barbecue platter because you get to try all of their different barbecue options. The ribs were especially delicious and fell right off the bone ( as they should). Prices were reasonable and my wife and I got two meals out of a the bbq platter + Mac and cheese. We'll be back when we make another trip to Napa.

First time visiting this Napa icon! Our family group of three ordered the olive plate, cheese dip, a small Caesar salad, French dip sandwich and the shrimp Louie salad. Service was friendly and fast. Olive plate was very generous with about 40-50 olives of several delectable varieties. It came with pistachios and candied pecans. The pimento cheese was more of a spread than a dip but super delicious, and came with a huge amount of crostini. Side salad was pretty standard. French dip roast beef sandwich was excellent, the meat was succulent and smoky. The shrimp were delicious and grilled. I never had this exact salad before, I wasn't expecting an entire half head of iceberg lettuce. If you like iceberg and thousand isles style dressing (Louie is similar) you'll love it. We didn't have any wine (shocking I know) but this place is legendary for its wine catalog. Ambience was cool in a restored 1800s building with stamped metal ceiling and exposed brick walls. There were a lot of animal heads mounted on the wall, taking the Hunter in the name a bit too literally. If you're not a hunter you might find it a bit creepy. Service was friendly.

Quality/Quantity - One of my favorite restaurants in Napa! And we always bring our guests here. 400+ wines to choose from, 40 of which you can buy by the glass. There are also spirit and whiskey options, see pictures. We come here for the beer can chicken! See pictures. We can never finish this, we typically share with the tables around us. A great way to meet new friends, lol. We usually get a salad and cornbread to compliment our beer can chicken. And of course, we got flights of wine. Seasonal Market Salad - Nothing special, but my wife always has to have her greens. Beer Can Chicken - Just the correct amount of spice. Also, I love that crispy skin. As you cut into the chicken, you can see all the juice/beer flow out of it. I should have taken a video... Going to be a fun, tasty, and messy lunch. Cornbread - The perfect compliment to the chicken. Smoking BBQ Wine Flight - Another perfect compliment to our meal. A white and a red from Italy, and of course a local red. 3 different BBQ sauces on the table, but I rarely used it. Sweet mustard and vinaigrette bbq flavors sauces. Fridays are also prime rib day, but we just could not eat that much food. Atmosphere - Cool small location, my favorite of the two. Even the bathroom has cool decor. Indoor and outdoor seating. Bar, counter, table, booth, etc. seating. Very small parking lot, but plenty of street parking. Or free garage parking a few blocks away. Open 5 days a week from 11am to 8pm or 9pm, closed Mondays & Tuesdays. Service - Overall good. Events, see website. Price - $100 + tip. Good value for the experience, especially for our guests. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1994 and with both locations. We have been to your Walnut Creek location a few times, but this location is still my favorite.

Know for their wine bar, Smokin' BBQ & Retail Shop is located in the Heart of Downtown Napa. They have an astounding lineup of over 400 highly-allocated wines on the shelves and 40 wines available by-the-glass, you can scan the 18-page wine list on any given day to find a snapshot of truly great wines from around the world. I've been here a few times and would suggest first timers to try their beer can chicken that is perched on a Tecate beer can, or their Smokin bbq platter that gives you a feast of pulled pork, smoked beef brisket & a half rack of St. Louis ribs plus choice of coleslaw or kettle chips. There's not that much seating in this restaurant but the few times I went, we did not have to wait.
