About Burgers & Half Bottles
Experience a high-low dining concept inspired by Chef Thomas Keller’s favorite pairing of classic burgers and Zinfandel. This fast-casual Yountville destination serves up elevated comfort food, from succulent lobster rolls to Bouchon Bakery milkshakes. The atmosphere is laid-back and family-friendly, featuring a 1965 VW Brew Bus pouring local craft beers.
"Strategically executed concept that delivers outsized value. The $15 wagyu burger is a best-in-class benchmark, the lobster roll over-delivers on quality and balance, and the crinkle-cut fries are operationally perfect. The wine program is a power move—access to Napanook half bottles materially elevates the experience and reinforces brand credibility. Overall, a smart, approachable extension of the Thomas Keller ecosystem that drives both traffic and loyalty while maintaining culinary integrity."
