Great historic roadside eatery from the 1940s, now occupied by a small local burger chain. Terrific chili fries, Impossible Burger, and some of the best onion rings I’ve had anywhere. Also a shout-out for the coffee shake! Sounds like a great 10am breakfast on Christmas Eve to me!Gott’s Roadside

This charming restaurant is located on a side street of St. Helena’s Main Street. The delightful space upstairs offers high beamed ceilings and an open kitchen, plus lots of duck hunting memorabilia. Downstairs is an atmospheric bar that also has table seating. And there is also lovely outdoor dining.Goose & Gander

Really good for an airport restaurant. You order at a counter but the servers are really attentive in the restaurant. Menu is a subset of the original in the loop. The rueben sandwich was just as good as I’d expect there. The have their own brewed root beer, too!Berghoff Cafe

We really enjoyed the middle eastern food at this neighborhood restaurant. The three veggie platter including hummus, tabouli and falafel was generous and the accompanying pita were fresh. My companion’s lofted was nicely spiced.Cairo Kebab

Great dog, any variety you like, plump and juicy. Onion rings were great, fries less so. Not super speedy, but a neat vibe.Devil Dawgs – Lakeview

Wow, the two huge rooms here were packed late on a Sunday. We had an appointment elsewhere and things were taking a long time so we only had time for cinnamon rolls, which were fantastic. Would love to come back. Very inexpensive.Ann Sather Restaurant

Another stellar restaurant from the Oriole folks. Chef Mariya has come up with a succession of genius courses, including the best nigiri in town. Gracious and informative bar service by Patrick.Kikko
