The local BBQ house on the north end of town. A small restaurant with walk up counter service. A basic interior with a few tables and chairs with additional seats outside. A simple menu, Barbeque. Done a variety of ways, I wasn't that hungry but needed to grab some food before my roadtrip back and went for the spicy chicken sandwich with fries. A bottled lemonade and water from the cooler rounded out my lunch. Served on a metal tray with paper, simple easy and it met my needs for the afternoon. The sandwich was okay, simple with some garnish of red onions, pickles, tomato and lettuce. The chicken was okay but the breading crust was a bit off? This is an okay sandwich, not great and not bad. Just okay. The fries also good, nothing special but served the need. A little on the pricey side all considered. With bottled drinks and a tip well over $25 bucks, for a lunch thats pricey. 3 Stars - it served its purpose for my visit but with so many other options in town, most likely would skip this for better options 00970 read more

Pretty good grilled chicken sandwich! Got a side of Asian slaw instead of the Cole slaw and wow did it have a kick. It was so good though. Super different and tasty which is all that matters. Ingredients were fresh. * originally wanted the 1/2 chicken meal but I guess that's just on weekends Thank you LocalQ! read more

Incredible - no. Leave feeling satisfied - sure. Nice friendly staff - decent BBQ if you are in the area and that's what you are craving. We tried the steak sandwich, brisket, and the chicken wings. Get the brisket, and skip anything fried. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite because Gott's was CRAZY busy, and I'm so glad we did. It wasn't very busy but don't let that fool you.. the food is delicious and the prices weren't bad . The fries were SOO good, you have to try them. Would definitely come back! read more

I don't like to give bad reviews in general - and especially not during Covid with every restaurant trying to survive, but if I am going to be overall nicer, then restaurants have to at least TRY and do better. This review would normally be a 2 for me, and look at my reviews, I RARELY give a 2 - only 8% of the time. We saw this place on the way to Downtown Calistoga. I looked it up and it was obviously new (based on #'s of reviews). We did our errand at our winery and decided to come back for lunch on a Saturday around 1pm (Note there was no line an hour prior indicating they would be out of nearly everything). We had done our research, looking at the menu and had settled on the Saturday special of pork, some wings, the brussels sprouts and maybe some pork belly. Got there at 1:05. There was no line, not a lot of activity. There was a sign just outside the door advertising the Brussels sprouts. Young pretty girl at the counter, and a busy guy making burgers in the kitchen behind her. I start to order, but they were out of the wings, out of the pork, out of the pork belly. Now, I am 99% certain they did not sell out, they never had it on offer that day - so 1st of all, be honest, and offer some excuse, like "we are new and just getting our bearings". THEN ALSO have some kind of notification, other than the poor girl who has to give the news to everyone who tries to order (Note to owner: Get a chalkboard sign with things crossed out, or even put a paper sign on the counter that lists things you are out of. (Again - do better at communication to your customers at the very least, or it will only lead to disappointed experiences & reviews like this one.) Out of wings, out of pork, out of pork belly, I was so annoyed I don't recall if they were out of anything else. I had to ask the gal what they DID have: burgers, tri tip and brisket. roughly 50% of their menu offerings. We ended up ordering a brisket sandwich, some coleslaw and some brussels sprouts. The brisket was good, a little fatty, and there could have been more meat on the sandwich (maybe they were afraid of running out of another thing??). The coleslaw was nothing special, the brussels were good, if a bit greasy. We ate in the parking lot, at the tables provided - which I would NOT recommend, due to the flys/bugs landing on you and your food. Eat inside, or in your car. read more

Look, I'm not going to lie. 707 is on the money with their brisket and spicy slaw. We ordered the tri-tip and it was very juicy, and with their spicy sauce it was just the touch of heat it needed. Everything else I could do without. The beans tasted like it was from a can (sry!!) and the slaw was just ok. The fries were good and with the sandwich it was worth the $. Haven't tasted the brekkie but I hear it's awesome. Next time for sure read more

Delicious food and great, speedy service. We highly recommend the Chicken sandwich, fish and chips and the cookies & cream shake. thank you guys for a great experience. read more

Sad it's closed for the near future I really enjoyed the BBQ , The meats are smoky and yet still moist. I love potato salad and I find it hard to get one I like , but the 707 potato salad is great. I live in the Napa valley. I have a friend who goes to Calistoga twice a week. I would have him bring me brisket and potato salad read more

The food was great. Friendly service. Just a basic burger/bbq joint. Only thing that I didn't like was I counted eight flies buzzing around. read more

Local Q 707 - Burger with bacon - American Near Me - Calistoga, California

Dee-lish! I was on my way home from work and fresh out of dinner ideas. I popped into Local Q 707 and was not disappointed. I had a tri tip sandwich, which was fabulous! The sauce was not too spicy (I am wimpy when it comes to that stuff), and the meat was super tender. Shoestring fries - if I had my druthers, I would prefer steak fries. The roll was perfect - not too hard or mushy. I wonder if they can toast or grill the inside of the bread. The counter kid (young and blond) was very sweet! Next time, I will get a family dinner read more

Stopped in today for a late lunch, the employee member was at tentative and nice and told us about the Quad Challenge which someone actually completed earlier in the day in 6 minutes. I had the brisket sandwich, it was good but a little thicker than expected, my wife had the burger and it was very good. Only thing I could pick on would be the cleanliness in the seating area. read more

the brisket was the better cut. fairly tender and beefy flavors, however didn't have that have juicy interior or crusty bark. ribs were chewy and under cooked, lacked depth of flavor and seasoning. no crust as well. generally meat quality / sourcing was lacking. not rich and juicy, more dry and fibrous. not the most inspiring bbq. pit masters definitely not obsessed with the details that make bbq special. read more

Great service, delicious food! The pork belly bites were the winner for me, but my wife liked her brisket more. Nothing bad in this picture! Tender falls off the bone with a little tug, but not so cooked that it's just a slop of meat. Delicious sauce. Great job team. read more

Local Q 707 - Pork Belly Bites, Brisket Sandwich, Sweet Potato fries, Half Rack ribs. - American Near Me - Calistoga, California

This place is a little off the beaten path when it comes to touring Calistoga, but it's not to be missed. I've driven past this place multiple times on my way to work and finally pulled over and tried it. They absolutely know what they're doing. The portions are great. The ribs were delicious to say the least and they even have a 4 rib dinner if you're not looking for a whole half rack. The fries were cooked and salted perfectly. Tried the maple Brussel sprouts and for five dollars the portion was impressive. The taste was even better. Grabbed two lbs of pulled pork for dinner tomorrow night and I gotta tell you I'm excited. Prices were also really reasonable. Again, not down town Calistoga but definitely not too far. Don't miss out. *sorry for the weird lighting. read more

Local Q 707 - 4 rib meal - American Near Me - Calistoga, California

Stopped in Local Q 707 after we visited the Old Faithful Geyser. My wife and I are from NJ and have never had tri tip before. So it was a must for us while visiting the left coast. The tri tip had a great smoke ring, smoke flavor, seasoned well, and was moist. The ribs also had a nice smoke ring, were tender, and seasoned well. Coleslaw and tots were also good. Great bbq spot. I'd definitely come back. Thanks Local Q for crossing a first for us, off our list. read more

We were staying in Calistoga for a wedding party and decided to soothe our hangover with some BBQ - this place had great reviews - not a lot of reviews yet since it seemed on the new side comparatively, but GREAT reviews. It's super casual - they do have some outdoor seating in the form of umbrella covered casual tables but it was way too hot to consider that. Looking at the menu, everything sounded great. We didn't want to go for the sandwiches since we wanted to avoid gluten today - makes the hubby super sleepy. We asked if they had any kind of combo so that we could try the different BBQ items they were offering. And yes indeed they do - 1/2 or 1 lb. We opted for the 1/2 lb thinking that sounded like a great amount for us. Comes with a side so we chose the garlic tater tots. YUM. She offered us 2 kinds of BBQ sauce - regular and spicy and ranch dressing for the tots. I definitely recommend the spicy BBQ sauce - it's not too spicy - very easy to handle spice level wise. The mild one is very sweet which is good too, but I definitely like the unique flavor of the spicy version. So the food came - and it was a metal TRAY of BBQ. And it was a 1/2 lb. of each item! It was SO much food. But thankfully we were in an AirBnB so we were able to take the leftovers home, throw it in the freezer and drive back with it. I think my favorite of the different meats might have been the brisket - it's very tender and flavorful. But I definitely plan on using everything - last night we took the pulled pork and some of the brisket and put it in a marinara sauce and had it over some gluten free spaghetti. I think we have another 4 meals that we can pull out of this sampling of BBQ! Definitely go check it out. The tater tots were so good - they did not make it to the leftovers. read more

This place was just ok. Their BBQ sauce is tasty! Tri-Tip Sandwich had significantly less meat than the Brisket sandwich, so my s/o gobbled it up in five seconds, but didn't rave about it. For the the Brisket sandwich, I couldn't customize the type of brisket cut (fatty vs lean or a combo, even though both exist on the brisket when smoked). It also looked like the meat was reheated on the grill. The bread was standard-fare. Mac and Cheese doesn't come as a side, only a meal with a small amount of pulled pork on top. It was just a-ok, not my favorite. This was too much to eat for one meal on top of my sandwich and I would not eat this as a meal alone. Maybe their ribs or other items are better? Based on our experience, this place is still missing their x-factor -- the thing that would compel me to come back. read more

I wanted to like this place, I've drove by here enough times always curious about this bbq spot, and was unfortunately disappointed. To start off with the positives: The fries were good and tasted fresh. The bbq sauce was the perfect amount of tangy and flavorful. Negatives: the brisket sandwich were not great. First the meat tasted as if it was freezer burned or had been in an open fridge. It was also not enough meat for the amount of bread. The bread was baguette, which normally I love but tasted a bit off as well-possibly thawed from the freezer. Neither myself nor my coworker felt great after eating one of these sandwiches each. Overall I'm sure there are some good options as the place smelled great, and the fries were phenomenal, but I won't be visiting again. Also I'd stay clear of the brisket sandwich. read more

THE best chicken sandwich I've ever had and the barbecue sauce is perfect. Amazing fries. Super sweet employees and clearly more of a spot for locals, but I didn't feel uncomfortable as a visitor. read more

This place is just fabulous. Love the barbecue love the brisket, it is all simply delicious AND now they are open at 6 AM for breakfast. This morning we tried their biscuits and gravy with hash browns and everything was simply delicious. The gravy was full of flavorful with chunks of meat and seasoned perfectly the biscuit was also baked to perfection and perfectly sized. The hashbrowns were crispy and done just the way that I like them. The chicken fried steak and gravy, nice thick delicious steak and the gravy was perfect. Breakfast sandwich on a ciabatta roll with a flawlessly done medium egg and a nice thick large pork patty and crispy hashbrowns on the bottom. Perfect! read more

The food was delicious. Inexpensive and the owner is super friendly!! We visited his brewery the day before and it was the first time we were met with genuinely nice friendly people during our stay in Calistoga. I recommend their homemade biscuits! read more

Very friendly service and amazing food. Very good ranch and BBQ sauces. Locals come and stock up on jars of the BBQ so often that they run out of jars. read more

Great ribs and brisket when it's on point. Like many bbq places my experiences have been inconsistent. They have good burgers, pulled pork, and sides- especially the Jalepeno poppers. They break the smoker out on the weekends so try them on a Friday or Saturday night. read more

Great find while we were in Calistoga, CA. The food was very good and the location is just nice.

Local Q 707 - Tri Tip with Garlic Fries - American Near Me - Calistoga, California

A solid spot to get lunch, or any time to grab a burger. The fried chicken sandwich was good, the brisket sandwich so-so. Good bread on both, french fries serving was generous. Coleslaw ok, they had a sweeter option of it that was better, (forgot the name of it) but friendly staff ask you which slaw you'd like. Good spot to get food to go and drive up to an old faithful, that lets you bring your picnic in. Oh and they had a nice selection of local beers. read more

Local Q 707 - Tri-tip sandwich and fries - American Near Me - Calistoga, California

The gas station across the street was my meeting point with my daughter we decided to go across the street because we noticed the restaurant there when we got to the restaurant the parking lot was empty because covid was in full effect but they were still helping customers outside their window all day until 7:00 p.m. fast forward 6 months to a year later and I started working here I can't say enough about the owners as a family unit they are outstanding people to work for the customers that come in more than exceed my expectations and the experiences that I get to take home every day are ones I will never forget I'm not sure about the other restaurants in Calistoga but I know thistle one. I've had people come in saying they don't like smoked meats . I was not a fan but Rob's diner is a customer based business. If we have it we'll make it the way you want. Our menu is always growing with new things. Customers often get samples of new items about to hit the menu to get feed back. Grand opening of our breakfast menu biggest biscuits around. I deep fry mine till golden and flakey man poor butter and homey. Nothing better Pork bellies bites are amazing Fried chicken sandwich Juicey burger like no we're I've ever eaten before.there are great employees who love to go the extra mine. ... So stop in 6 am to 7 pm. read more

The outside of this place lies!!! I've driven past it many times, never thinking to stop in. I went in after sitting in traffic and was pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing. Big portions and super fresh/delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich the price was low and the portion size was large and they had gluten free buns! I'm a sucker for garlic fries. They gave me a mountain of French fries with some of the best ranch dressing I've ever had and for only FIVE DOLLARS!! I'll definitely be returning. read more

Expensive, overly greasy, they skimp on sides & sauces. Lacking seasoning. The female cashier was very nice & was unfortunately putting up with insanely creepy or rude customers. Lots of older male customers with poor behavior towards her- the other workers should monitor the front of the house more often. read more

Just ate at Local Q 707 for the first time today. This place did not disappoint front the beyond mouth watering food to the amazing staff everything was perfect! I ordered the brisket sandwhich and thankfully remembered a photo before I inhaled it! My husband ordered the tri tip sandwhich with garlic fries which I managed one bite of and it was also to die for. My onion rings are by the the best I've had in a long time every bite had a crisp crunch followed by moist flavorful onion, and as for the brisket cooked perfectly moist and tender. I grew up frequenting places like Kinder's in the Bay Area and this blows all other bbq places I've had out of the water. Thank you for the fantastic food and customer service Local Q we will be back! read more

Local Q 707 - Brisket Sandwich and Onion Rings - American Near Me - Calistoga, California

Oh my goodness. I was not expecting it to be this tasty. I had the "Wildcat Burger" w/mustard aioli, lettuce, tomato, and pickles. The burger had a fantastic "charbroiled" taste. Lettuce, tomato onion, and pickles were very fresh. Not the usual soggy stuff you expect from roadside burger place. The fries were perfectly cooked and the serving was HUGE. Even the unsweetened Iced-T hadsmooth, not bitter, taste. I can't wait to come back again, and give the half pound burger, with egg and bacon a try. I think I just found my favorite Napa Valley burger place! read more

Local Q 707 - Menu - American Near Me - Calistoga, California

I've had some good bbq, but more often I've had disappointing bbq. The food from Local Q falls into the former category. Not only is the food great, but the prices are almost ridiculously low given the portions. You can't ask for more! Ribs - the other reviews spoke true. These are delicious and very meaty. Well seasoned with dry rub, then glazed with a perfect amount of bbq sauce. One of the things that disappoint me with a lot of bbq places is how they smother a ton of bbq sauce onto everything. The meat, usually pretty bland, just swims in bbq sauce. Not here! Even my husband, who pours copious amounts of bbq sauce onto all bbq meats, said that the ribs didn't need any additional sauce at all. If you only get 1 meat here, make it the ribs. Brisket - If you get a 2nd meat here, make it the brisket. So incredibly moist and tender. We ordered 1/2 lb and they were served "naked" (without sauce). Yet again, the meat was cooked so well that it really didn't need any bbq sauce at all. I was happy to eat it plain. Pork belly bites - these "bites" were way bigger than I thought they would be. More like big chunks. Deep fried, they reminded me of chiccharons but way bigger and soft & moist on the inside. If you get a 3rd meat, make it this. Pulled pork sandwich - I've never been a fan of pulled pork, and I still am not. (I mean, how good can shredded pork ever be?) My husband ordered this one. I thought it was ok, he said it was good, but it did pale compared to the other 3 meats above. Italian sausage - I really wanted a hot link but they were out, so I got this instead. I'm generally not big on Italian sausage but I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would. It was flavorful without being salty. Sausages ALWAYS tend to be salty so that is a huge feat. Fries - we got a side of these with the pulled pork sandwich, and I wish we had ordered more. These are fantastic fries! Somewhere along the vein of McDonalds. Cole slaw - I actually usually hate cole slaw because I find whatevever that white sauce is made of too sweet and sickening. But here it wasn't. It was very light on the sauce, light on the sweet. I only had a little taste since the sandwich only came with a very small sampler-size container of it, but I couldn've eaten a lot more of this. A light balance to all the heavy meats. 1/2 rack ribs, 1/2 lb brisket, 1/2 dozen pork belly bites, pulled pork sandwich w/ fries, Italian sausage. Total just under $50, which is just crazy cheap compared to what I'm used to. There was enough food for probably 4-5 people, but most importantly, it was all just so damn well made! (As a bonus, Soul Rebel Coffee is right next store and we scored some great smoothies and belgian waffles!) read more
