The beef burgers are obviously high quality, very juicy and tasty. I tried veggie burger this time and was not disappointed. It was so flavorful I did not miss the meat! Would have been nicer to sit outside, the staff said it was too hot. Inside is a little dark for me

We were told to try this restaurant out by a local who said it was fantastic. She was spot on. We turned up without a booking around 130pm and the place was busy. There were no spare tables so we sat at the bar for lunch. Winelist was great, many local wines. Food was amazing, local produce, many choices, ribs... More

We recently stopped in for a late lunch. We waited over 10 minutes for a waitress even though 7 staff members were standing around by the bar. I finally called over a manager and asked if we could order. We both ordered burgers with fries. They came piping hot and were very good! When I was in the restroom my... More

I mean seriously - what more can you say. This place is fantastic - very busy, so expect to wait for make sure you make a reso. If you have to wait, grab a glass of wine and wait outside. it's lovely. We had the ribs and Prime Rib French Dip. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone, melt-in-your mouth tender and the... More

We arrived with no reservation at 12 during the week and were told it would be a 30 min wait for a table, which it was. It was very obviously Busy! Mom went inside to get me a nice cocktail which I was very specific on and came back out with nothing since they don't serve something like that. She... More

Love this restaurant! Always busy and we order to go! Food is always excellent and if they make a mistake they own it and compensate! We eat here a lot is down the street from our home and I recommend the salmon, cornbread, artichokes, and chicken salad those are my favs!

This is one of our favorite eating place whenever we are up in Napa wine country. If you're a rib lover this is the place to eat. Baby back ribs are cooked perfectly; meat is so tender and fall off the bone. We ordered the artichokes which were grilled and seasoned to perfection. No complaint on the service once we... More

This is a terrific restaurant and everything good you have heard about their BBQ ribs is true -- the best BBQ ribs I have ever had! The service was excellent and we had a fantastic lunch! For those with dogs, they have a wonderful patio with table seating and a bar, outdoor fireplace, large umbrellas, and heat lamps. Highly recommend... More

I think the many other 4 and 5 star reviewers have done a fine job of commenting on Rutherford Grill. It's a must-visit when in Rutherford, even though the wait is usually horrific during peak times My main advice here is to order meats and not fish. They do a fantastic job of cooking the ribs, rotisserie chicken, and steaks.... More

The food is excellent, the price is right and the atmosphere inviting. Outdoor fireplace and dining as well as great area inside with indoor rotisserie. This is one of our favorite places to dine.
