I only ever order the BarBeQue Chicken at Napa’s BarBersQ restaurant, so maybe I’m not the best person to tell you what the menu is like. Although I can also recommend the sides – Mac & Cheese, Cornbread with Honey Butter (delicious!) and Collard Greens. And my husband always orders the Pulled Pork Sandwich with Cole Slaw and BarBersQ Sauce. But that’s about as far as we get on the menu. I guess it’s because those comfort food dishes are what BarBersQ is all about and it’s hard to stray from your favorite comfort food.
BarBersQ is located in the Bel Aire Plaza in Napa, quite a bit removed from Napa’s downtown, but a now thriving area none the less due to the Whole Foods, Peet’s Coffee and Trader Joe’s that share the plaza. They have a nice patio for the summer and they keep it closed off with heaters in the winter so you can still enjoy the taste of the outdoors even in the middle of winter. The inside is pleasant and has a welcoming bar. It’s not ideal for large groups but makes a great spot for a night out with some friends.
The food is “American Heritage Fare”. What does that mean? As they describe it, they make Memphis style barbeque and casual, comfort food that comes from local purveyors and farmers in Napa and Sonoma. They have a Napa-friendly wine list that isn’t too overpriced, although for a local’s spot in the heart of Napa I wish they didn’t have a $15 corkage fee.
The food is reasonably priced, the service is great with a very attentive staff who create a casual and relaxed atmosphere and the wine list is good. Once you find your comfort dish on the menu, you probably won’t stray too far from it either.
