Restaurant Review

Saturday night,  after a long day at the beach, sitting outside with a burger sounded like the perfect stop before heading back home. The local burger joint in St. Helena is Gott's Roadside formerly Taylor's Refresher. They have two other locations in the Bay Area, and has to be one of the best burgers in California (sorry In-N-Out lovers). They have a large menu, where everything sounds better then the next. Gott's has a big reputation in town so to avoid the large lines it is best to order at off hours. 

Menu

While dining this time, I went back to my midwestern roots and had the Wisconsin burger with a side of fries. Both came out hot and delicious. The fries were the perfect thickness, home-cut a little thicker then a McDonald's fry and seasoned perfectly. They were crispy on the outside and the perfect dipper for Gott's homemade ranch dressing. The burger was awesome. For not telling them the temperature I wanted it cooked to it came out perfect. Instead of a bun the burger comes out on toasty sourdough bread slices. It is extremely juicy and covered in char grilled flavor. I went with two friends who were equally pleased with their sweet potato fries, veggie burger and cheese burger. 

The menu is a little pricey, but then again so is the rest of St. Helena. It is to be expected. The prices are well worth not only the food, but the ambiance. You go up to the outdoor counter to order and in back is an entire picnic area to sit at. A great place to eat and enjoy the California weather.
