    It’s not what it used to be. The beer-can chicken used to be so craveable but it, as well as the ribs, were very dry. The Mac and cheese was actually really bad.

    We had the BBQ platter and it was dry - like it sat under the heat lamp for a while, not a lot of flavor but the portion was a good value. Too bad as we are from the south where BBQ is great and visiting we wanted to give it a try, hoping for the best. Disappointed. Very loud for such a small place. The waitress' personality was not genuine, almost robotic and practiced. The two gentlemen who helped were very natural and more in line with great customer service. She needs a bit more training.

    We’ve been many times but ready to find another downtown Napa go-to. Food is always good but they’re catering less and less to small groups / date nights. There’s only 4 low top tables inside now. I booked months ago to be sat at a bar top tonight. Unfortunately, we won’t be back unless it’s to pick up.

    We had not been back in about 10 or 15 years and Bounty Hunter has just gotten better. Our server was outstanding and the food is some of the best in the Napa Valley! We will definitely go back more often

    BBQ was actually really pretty bad. Sorry wanted to love it, but the ribs were mushy and the brisket was weird. Sauces were good. Sides were fine. Maybe because it was Monday and it was leftovers.

    Absolutely loved our dinner after a day in Napa….some good filling food was required. We opted for the platter with Ribs, Brisket and pulled pork with a half of the beer can chicken. Both had fantastic flavor and cooked to perfection. The Jalapeño Cornbread muffins and Mac & cheese were equal hits at our table as well. Seating is tight within the restaurant but we didn’t mind at all considering the great food. We will definitely be back soon!

    Bounty Hunter is one of our "go to" stops. Food and service are great. It's small so be sure to make a reservation. My friend and I each had the delicious chicken soup and we split the shrimp louis wedge salad. Both were delicious. I highly recommend BH for food, drinks and service.

    We enjoyed every moment. The food was delicious! My husband and I both ordered the half bbq ribs literally one of the best I’ve had fall off the bone! We also ordered the jalapeño poppers which unfortunately only came in 2 big pieces I wish it had more it was so good. They had plenty of wine and cocktails to choose from. I’d definitely recommend!
