Oh yeah! This is…read morethe good stuff! Was going camping at the beach a few weeks ago and didn't want to smoke the ribs in the cold/wet. I had been hearing about Red Eye locally and thought I would give them a try. I ordered in advance - I had heard they sell out fast if you don't put in an advance order. Pick up took longer than seemed reasonable for an advance to go order, but zero complaints about the quality of the food! I got two racks of pork ribs and they were spectacular. The other stuff e saw them putting out looked really good too. I normally smoke my own meats, but it is great to have someone local that does such a good job. Now I have a place I can go to when I don't have time to do it myself. Everyone who tried them loved them- including a friend who was a chef in New Orleans. I think Red Eye are the best thing going around here for real BBQ (by a good measure). If you haven't tried them yet, get over there! You are in for a real treat!

While the food that I ordered (or at least got of what was available) was objectively delicious…read moreand seasoned wonderfully, my experience of ordering and waiting was dissapointing and overall ruined my lunch. *PS I ordered under the name Zed if you see this review. There was already quite a line by the time I came in around 12:40 and was eager to try everything after reading the amazing reviews. I decided to order all the cuts except for short rib (they were sold out) and the chicken. As I am placing my order, I see some miscommunication between the chef (Bob I believe) and the person who took my order, something about not following the inventory count of cuts available, potentially leading to over-orders. I prayed there would still be enough for what I ordered and stayed optimistic. About 10 minutes after ordering, I was told that the beef cheeks were sold out. I was okay with that as they refunded me immediately. 15 minutes later and I'm told that the spareribs are also sold out. At this point the only things available were the pork belly and jalapeno cheddar sausage. I still wanted to try the two that were still available, but was dissapointed in having to experience this. As for the food itself, to say the least it was very good. The pork belly was perfectly salted and simply melted in my mouth. The sausage was juicy, had a great snap to it, and had a perfect ratio of cheese to sausage. The jalapeno is subtle and doesn't punch you with spice, but the subtle hint of spice with each bite was addicting. The stand out for me would be their pickles. Korean pear, fresno chili, cucumber, and red onions made up the pickle mix. I loved the sweet n sour of the pear and couldn't stop eating it. The cornbread was also nice and fluffy. Would I come back to try this? 100%. Just from the pork belly and sausage, I can't wait to try the short rib/cheek/spareribs. I would recommend everyone who wants to try Red Eye to either PRE-ORDER or come early before they open, as I came ~40 minutes after opening and most of the meats were sold out. I wish there was a clearer tracking system of how many cuts were left, as placing an order only to be told AFTER ordering that stuff was already sold out is extremely frustrating. Maybe having 1 more person would also help as well, as I waited close to 30 minutes for my order. I will update this review after another attempt, as this could have simply been an off day.

My fingers were sticky & orange but boy, was the food delicious! Looking forward to seeing more from Second Staff, more pop ups or eventually their own small restaurant.

PLEASE SEE ALL SCREEN SHOTS AFTER READING!!!…read more I have been meaning to write this review for a while now. I had a trip planned and needed a meal prep service, so I decided to give Spicy Girl Meal Prep a try. Despite seeing some negative reviews, I thought it couldn't be that bad. Unfortunately, my experience was a total disappointment. I paid $205 for the service to be delivered and was very clear about when I needed the food by. However, the food was never delivered, and I was given the runaround when I tried to contact the company. They claimed that the food was not delivered because of the holiday, which was unacceptable. When I finally got a response from them, an assistant named Dana texted me to say that they were closed that day. This was after I had called repeatedly and left several messages. It was clear that they had no intention of delivering the food. At this point, I had to come up with another solution for my meal prep needs, which was a huge inconvenience. My wife called the company from a different phone number and was told that we would receive a refund. However, we never received any refund despite reaching out to them through email. In the end, I had to dispute the entire process with Venmo to get my money back. Overall, I had a terrible experience with Spicy Girl Meal Prep, and I would advise anyone to stay away from them. They are unprofessional, unreliable, and clearly do not care about their customers. Update: I find it outrageous that I had to resort to contacting several mutual friends on Instagram just to reach her. Finally, one of her friends came forward and told me that she had mentioned my experience to Jade. I was very clear with her that Jade was lying about the situation, and that I intended to leave a review about it a year later. It's interesting that Jade has just reached out to me with an invitation to have lunch and fix the situation, which seems shady and as if she's trying to cover herself. The truth is, she should have done this a year ago when I had a terrible experience.

The gochujang sauce on the K parm was a cool twist on a classic, I really enjoyed the spiciness it added. Both were great sandwiches. I would definitely come back to have them again! Also they occasionally do different twists on chicken parms which is cool. They've done butter chicken parms, chicken cesar parms, I have tried it but I would have if they were closer to me!

We luckily got in line pretty early and were toward the front when they opened. The sandwiches were delicious.

Just wish had something to make it a bit spicier. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Like I said sad to see them go.

And my overall thoughts are that it was pretty good. I was left satisfied, but I'm not quick to say that it's the best burger I've ever had. Certainly, I would try it again! I shared the spicy chicken sandwich as well as the Wagyu cheeseburger with fries and both were pretty solid. Both were juicy in their own right and I did enjoy the no frills ambience. There are TVs showcasing sports, so it's a very casual, laid-back environment. When you arrive, you order at the counter and receive a buzzer. At this point, you can find seating, get some water and some ketchup. I do enjoy the low-key nature of this place, but it's nice to be able to see the cooking staff working away in a professional, very organized chaos kind of way. The only bummer is that if you do order a drink like a soda, it's not a fountain and it's just merely one can... But then again, this is Yountville. Overall, I enjoyed it!

There was nothing especially great about the bun either. The best part of the meal were probably the fries. The service was great, the staff is very friendly and eager to assist with any questions.

A Nappalachian Spring indeed- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL51E5AC3D221E302B…read more Nappalachia is an offshoot of La Saison catering. They're open Fridays&weekends, with very limited hours. It's a pop-up restaurant of sorts with takeout. They have elixirs, rose tea, savory granola, their famous olive oil cake, you name it. The lobster rolls on their website look delicious, and worthy competition for the Cousins Maine Lobster truck. They sell out of items quickly, so be sure to call or email them in advance. I'm curious about their quinoa burgers as well. For lunch, I got their quinoa salad with asparagus, feta, cherry tomatoes&zucchini. It's simply called "Lunch Time" and it's addictive. I also got their Spanish tortilla, a thick omelet with chunks of potato. They offer to heat it up and/or add sofrito. The parking in the area is a challenge. It's a mixed industrial/residential area, across the street from a Best Western, a hair salon, a wine academy, and a storage facility. The lot behind it is probably reserved for employees. It was an impressive takeout lunch. No wonder they cater lunches for nearby businesses. It's always in saison!

This was during their pop-up setup at Lagunitas Brewery, so I understood it wouldn't be a full restaurant experience, but the pricing still felt high for what appeared to be mostly wholesale/frozen products. The food honestly felt more like elevated Costco/Sysco-style concession food than chef-driven Cajun cooking. The fries were clearly Kirkland frozen fries, the kettle chips looked straight out of a Costco bag, and the burger patties also seemed pre-made/frozen. I was honestly fine with the kettle chips, but once you start noticing almost everything feels wholesale while paying "celebrity chef" pricing, it changes the experience. At $15-16 per item plus tip prompts at checkout, I expected more fresh or house-made elements. Food trucks and pop-ups around the Bay Area put in serious work making things from scratch, smoking meats, hand-cutting fries, or using fresh patties at similar prices. This felt more like paying for branding than craftsmanship. The loaded fries and sauces were decent, and the concept definitely has potential, but the pricing just doesn't match what's actually being served right now. I genuinely hope Chef Bradley focuses more on fresh ingredients and execution moving forward, because food trucks that actually put that level of work in deserve these kinds of prices more than frozen wholesale products do.
