11 Essential North Bay Barbecue Spots | Eater SF

"A veritable barbecue playground replete with home made pie, Busters welcomes visitors to Napa Valley’s Calistoga side, making it a perfect place to beef up before setting out on a long day’s winetasting. With hot sauce so hot that signs everywhere warn of its fiery nature, Busters has been an institution since 1965 and shows no signs of flagging. Rather, like a Mystery House, it keeps expanding. Choose to eat your super hot ‘cue inside the wood-paneled dining room, at one of several shaded outdoor kiosks, or on the new hillside patio where live jazz lives on Sundays and the ubiquitous paper towels announce that your mouth is about to be in for a very good time, indeed. Cash preferred." - Gretchen Giles
