"If you’ve had it with tasting menus and hoity-toity wine talk, head to Bounty Hunter for wine, whiskey, and mounds of flaming hot meat. If you want to start with a vegetable, order the kettle chips smothered in blue cheese sauce before moving on to the combo platter with ribs, brisket, and pork, which, in true Texas form, is big in taste and portion size. You’ll see a lot of beer can chicken, served as a full bird on top of a can, and for good reason. There’s usually a wait, but you can use that time to pour over the massive wine and whiskey list." - Christina Julian

"The white napkin/bordello vibe of this thriving wine bar/genteel barbecue spot finds its graceful balance in the sight of a well-dressed man sucking rib bones while seated on a saddle that has been affixed to a wine barrel as people have vigorously vied to do since the day the Bounty Hunter opened well over a decade ago. Find a spot at the bar and relax. You've found your center." - Gretchen Giles

So the food was good, a wonderful smokey flavor with tender fall off the bone meat. Our party of 6 had ribs, the brisket bowl, the Ruben, and the slider trio. Everyone felt the food was worth it except the Ruben. The drinks options were lacking, which was odd. They were out of Titos, out of crown, and didn't have any domestic or sours in rotation as advertised on their menu. Ordering was a challenge. During the meal, we had three servers, and therefore, we didn't get drink refills. If you have the time and the patience, the food is worth it.

The menu looked great. We ordered drinks and appetizers right away to keep us happy while we contemplated our entree decisions. The appetizers came out before the drinks. Twenty minutes later, the host takes our entree order because the server never came back. We ordered soup and entrees. Entrees came out before the soup, and one order was wrong. The food runner promised to correct the situation, but the mistake order was not cleared from the table. I sat there for fifteen minutes while my companion ate her food, and I awkwardly started at the mistake entree sitting before me. Finally, the entree came out, but still was not what I ordered. I didn't say a word because I just wanted to eat at this point. The mistake entree was still on the table, so now I had five sandwiches sitting in front of me. Still, the soup had not come. The server finally checked on us and we mentioned the soup. He very apologetically got the the soup, but without spoons. About ten minutes later, he checked on us again and we asked for spoons. By the time they got to the table, the soup was cold. The server had the owner fix the check to make up for the trouble. We got the check, and all that was removed was the cost of the entree I originally ordered, but the charge for the mistake was still there. The mistake was four dollars more than the entree I wanted. I just wanted to leave, so I paid it and left.

If you're on the hunt for mouthwatering BBQ, look no further than Bounty Hunter! This gem delivers a BBQ experience that’s second to none, with smoky, tender meats and flavors that’ll have you planning your next visit before you even leave. The brisket melts in your mouth, packed with rich, smoky flavor, and the pulled pork is simply amazing. Every dish is served with hearty portions and plenty of house-made sauces to customize your BBQ experience. But the food isn’t the only star here—the atmosphere at Bounty Hunter adds to the charm. The rustic decor and welcoming vibe make it the perfect spot for a casual meal with friends or family. The staff is friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about their craft. Pair your meal with one of their craft beers or a signature cocktail, and you’re in for a treat.

The service and restaurant itself were nice, however the quality of the food does not reflect the price. The prime rib French dip was pretty bland. The chips had way more seasoning than the au jus and beef. The bbq bowl was alright. It was a little too heavy on the mayo. I don’t recommend the dishes we had here.

Who doesn’t like BBQ! We decided to stop in after an afternoon of wine tasting as we were famished. We got the platter. It’s a lot of food for 2 so beware but we were not disappointed. The ribs were some of the best we’ve had! The pulled port and brisket were also very good but those ribs!!! Fall off the bone but not super mushy with the rib amt of smoke! Also their bbq sauces (which are on the side) were very tasty!! Man, I wish I could buy some! Our waitress was Eujenya but you can call her E, and she was the perfect amount of friendly! She was an excellent server!!! They also have an amazing selection of bourbon.

Good spot for some BBQ. The place smelled fantastic, the seating was well spaced, and the waitress was really nice. The food was of course good as well. I got the Pastrami Reuben (a recurring theme for me) and the wiatress assured me that they make their own Pastrami, and I think she was telling the truth. It was a good sandwich, tasty, peppery pastrami, some kraut and dressing. Just the way a Reuben should be. My friend got the French Dip and he liked it, though he said the Jus was a little watery. We finished off with the S'Mores Pie, and it was worth it, super good. Well toasted marshmallow topping and just a great dessert. Beer selection was decent as well, include some hyper-locals.

This place was absolutely amazing. My husband and I ordered the platter which consisted of brisket, chicken and ribs. The ribs were so tender you could eat it with a fork. The ribs had a good smoked flavor as well as the brisket and chicken. We also had mac-n-cheese and potato salad wonderfully delicious. Sorry folks, we cleaned the plate before we took a photo....lol

It's definitely a well kept Gem. The BBQ was the best I have ever had. The manager, Wendell was great and made our experience very memorable. Lots of history on the walls. We drove front San Ramon and will definitely come back for sure on our next visit. You don't want to miss out on this place. Best kept secret here!!!!
