This was a nice place to eat lunch, but when we first arrived, we asked for a table outside and in the shade but the hostess told us that we couldn't have a shady table for 4 since we were only 2 people. I think that if you have people with money in their pocket wanting to sit at one... More

Hi CR - thanks for taking the time to let us know about your recent visit. I completely agree about the open tables and being able to sit at them! I will make sure everyone knows that this our policy. We have also just replaced 14 of our outdoor tables with larger ones and hope that this will make things... More

I had the Grilled California Chicken Sandwich on a ciabatta roll with cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and basil aioli. The thick, large chicken breast was perfectly cooked, as was the bacon. The French fries were delicious; they were cooked with the skin on, served piping hot and not greasy. They were thick enough that they remained hot throughout the meal.... More

The first afternoon we arrived in Napa, we found the General store and did a Wine tasting- Tammie was knowledgeable and made great selections based on what we liked- ended up going back again before we left to try some other wines as well as purchase some for the return trip. The store attached had very chic napa/wine souvenirs to... More

I had one of the best Vermicelli Noodle salad bowls I've ever had. It came with grilled pork and an egg roll. The dressing was light and tasty. The cucumbers were served in chunks served on the side which I appreciated so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. The dish comes with fresh mint but... More

I have been to the Napa General Store for lunch several times and always enjoy my experience as well as the yummy food. I love their regular menu but I usually order from the specials offered. I recently died and went to heaven over the braised short rib sandwich! I usually sit outside on the patio overlooking the Napa River... More

We like the Napa General Store for the quality of the food and the unpretentious setting. We ate there for lunch recently and enjoyed the food (chicken sandwich, spinach salad). The people watching was entertaining as well. It's also fun to browse around the store as there are many unusual pieces (woodwork, prints) that are locally produced. While so much... More

My husband and I ate breakfast here mid-week. It was a bit chilly and the waiter sat us near the wood-burning stove. That was very nice. He was very attentive and the food was delicious! It was fun to shop around after the meal as well. They had some interesting local artist crafts.

Service was a little slow, but menu selection and patio seating were great. My husband and I split a caesar salad and the Genova pizza.

My family came here for an early breakfast. On a cool morning they seated up by the warm fire, which was perfect. The staff was very attentive filling up our coffees and waters. And the food was delicious-the cornmeal pancakes were the best I've had!
