"Napa waited patiently for the debut of chef Darryl Bell’s barbecue spot, and now it’s finally here serving Kansas City-style barbecue for the masses. It has classic dishes with notable touches, such as Rocky free-range barbecue chicken; hickory-smoked Black Angus beef brisket; natural, hormone-free pork baby back ribs; and burnt ends. Don’t skip the Rancho Gordo beans and greens, made with braised collard greens and heirloom Mayocoba beans, or the coleslaw." - Dianne de Guzman

I heard nothing but hype, I was excited and wanted to like this place. Building is beautiful, interior was very nice, service was great BUT the food was not. Burnt ends were dry and rock hard, Ribs were baby back Ribs and dry. Tri tip sandwich was $17 with 4 thin slices of meat and on a small roll. They don't offer a 2 or 3 meat plate, u have to buy by the pound. I left feeling disappointed.

As if I didn’t eat enough over the last few weeks, I finally got there! A long way from Press, which was also a family favorite for a minute. The BBQ, atmosphere, and service (counter service+a table side visit by the chef! ) were outstanding! We sampled a variety of traditional BBQ fare; baby back ribs, pulled pork, Mac and cheese, tri tip sandwich. I usually prefer “real” spare ribs but the baby backs were a perfect balance of fat and tender lean. The pickles added the perfect acid and crunch. Also on offer and enjoyed by the table were curly fries, interesting salad. I had the Hamachi collar, which I don’t think could have been a better introduction to the same. The meat was perfectly cooked; cooked through but still moist; perfectly seasoned. Just about everything I didn’t try there, we got to go for dinner! The caramelized banana pudding missed the shoot. We got samples of the amazing spicy BBQ sauce, because one can never have too many condiments!

went to this mighty fine establishment, ordered some burnt ends which are amazing! Get the Large portion, also the potato salad is to die for! I didn’t take pics of the food but trust me the food is excellent coming from Texas that’s all I eat and breathe is good ole BBQ! This place is lovely and I will be coming back for sure, worth the drive from Santa Rosa. I snapped a few pics of the outside of the place, I can’t wait to go back! Definitely worth a stops if you’re craving some BBQ.

These other reviews have to be left by bots or people who've never had good BBQ. The food was aggressively average and we paid $70 for 2 people. The BBQ was on the level of Dickey's, maybe a bit worse.

A newer bbq spot in Napa and such a great place! Not too far from downtown Napa, there’s street parking nearby and there is plenty of seating inside and they have an outside area. My brothers family that has toddlers and children love this place. The kids love the Mac and cheese and their brisket is so tender. Their baby back ribs are good, as well as their curly fries. Perfect with a side of pickles and ranch. They also have multiple bbq sauces to dip with. Would highly recommend if you’re looking for some local bbq in Napa or while wine tasting! Service is also great, friendly workers and there isn’t really a line, tons of huge windows and a nice spot to hang out.

Very kind staff and the food is incredible. The brisket, baby back ribs, beans, mac & cheese, and the potato salad was the highlights. Ate with a party of 8 so we ordered a lot. $5 beers! Beer on tap also.

This place is a hidden gem. Super delicious REAL BBQ!! Out of this world Brisket! We’re from MN passing through & really enjoyed meeting Jeremy one of the owners. The staff was great, the atmosphere was casual, the restaurant itself has a unique interior, spotless restrooms, & all around pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend you check out this restaurant, you won’t be sorry.

If you’re in Napa and love BBQ, Stateline Road Smokehouse is an absolute must-visit. The food here is exceptionally delicious, with standout flavors that make it clear the team takes their craft seriously. I decided to stop in after reading a review and I'm so glad I did. We had the brisket, ribs, pulled pork, mac & cheese, and beans & greens. The smoke on the brisket and ribs was deep and flavorful, and the selection of BBQ sauces brought something new and exciting to the table. But the unexpected highlight? The Beans & Greens! I almost didn’t order them, thinking I had enough with all the rich meats, but I’m so glad I did. They were unlike anything I’ve had before—bold, balanced, and full of depth. I even had to let the team know how much I enjoyed it, which led to a great conversation with Chef Darryl and General Manager Jeremy. Beyond the food, the service was warm and welcoming, with a staff that made us feel right at home. The cocktails were just as impressive—creative, flavorful, and a perfect pairing for the meal. Whether you're a local or visiting, do yourself a favor and make this a regular stop. Stateline Road Smokehouse isn’t just good BBQ—it’s next-level BBQ.
