Burgers & Half Bottles

Strategically executed concept that delivers outsized value. The $15 wagyu burger is a best-in-class benchmark, the lobster roll over-delivers on quality and balance, and the crinkle-cut fries are operationally perfect. The wine program is a power move—access to Napanook half bottles materially elevates the experience and reinforces brand credibility. Overall, a smart, approachable extension of the Thomas Keller ecosystem that drives both traffic and loyalty while maintaining culinary integrity.

We went on New Year’s Day right after opening. Delicious cheeseburger and attentive staff. The lobster roll was small and a bit salty to my taste. The beer van is so cute! Next time I want to try the beer as well, but will pass on the lobster roll.

It was just okay, the cheese was extremely overpowering in the cheeseburger and the fries were just alright. The fries definitely tasted like they were only fried once heavily and not double fried to not give it that overly crispy/soggy texture that only happens with frying fresh fries once. The lobster roll felt like a complete rip off since it was $29 for a tiny roll, I’ll drive the extra hour to Bodega Bay for a roll. And for burgers, I’d rather go to Gotts 🤷🏻‍♂️ The only saving grace was the Chicken Sandwich, light breading, crisp, and the slaw was great.

Napa local and foodie so had to give it a try but wouldn’t recommend…Honestly a 4-5/10 and not worth the drive / hype. Over hyped pop up bc of Thomas Kellers name, the burger was decent but nothing special, I’d say Gott’s is way better. The line moves quick bc all the burgers are pre fired. Fires are frozen crinkle cut, not good or anything special. Wouldn’t go back here or make the drive for it tbh but im a foodie so naturally had to try.

Glad we tried it, but this is a one and done for us. We spent $90 on 1 cheeseburger combo meal w/beer upgrade, 1 spicy chicken sandwich, 2 ice cream sandwiches and 2 HH beers. Wait on a Friday afternoon (Friday before Labor day) around 4:30 was less than 5 minutes. Luckily we snagged an open table by the beer van as soon as it became available. Unfortunately, the food wasn't served piping hot, clearly it had been prepared ahead and sitting under heat lamps. Burger buns were dry and didn't taste like much. The best thing we ate was the ice cream sandwiches and Pliny beer! 😂
