Nestled in Napa Valley, this beloved grill serves up casual Californian fare with a twist, featuring must-try dishes like the legendary Mongolian pork chop.
"This Napa Valley landmark from chef Cindy Pawlcyn is a go-to lunch spot for local winemakers and is beloved for its comfort food classics that pair great with Napa’s best wines. You can’t go wrong with Mustards Mighty Meatloaf, the Crazy Good Chicken Wings, Famous Mongolian Pork Chop, or Chalkboard Pasta, which changes each day but never disappoints." - Dianne de Guzman, Eater Staff
"When you overestimate the security line and are through the body scanners in less than 10 minutes, use your precious extra time to have a real sit-down meal at Mustards Bar & Grill. Originally from Napa, the American restaurant’s airport menu includes quick hitters like burgers, fish and chips, and salads (though sadly, they don’t serve the iconic pork chop in Terminal G). They also do wine, cocktails, and beer. " - Julia Chen
"At this iconic roadhouse, it’s a joy to eat your greens—imagine freshly plucked lettuces from the bountiful garden boxes. In fact, Chef Pawlcyn is a wine country pioneer for incorporating on-site gardens that produce ingredients routinely seen on this seasonal menu. The fish of the day may unveil grilled halibut sauced with oxtail reduction and plated with silken leeks and fingerling potatoes. But, save room as this is not the place to skip dessert; and the lemon-lime tart capped with brown sugar meringue fittingly described on the menu as “ridiculously tall” doesn’t disappoint. It should come as no surprise that there’s usually a wait for a table here. But use the time to take a stroll on the lush grounds for a preview of what the kitchen has in store." - Michelin Inspector
"Welcome to Napa’s most important elevated diner, and a spot that would easily be selected for The Infatuation Hall of Fame if such a thing existed. If you’re someone who lives for meat dishes, Mustard’s is an absolute can’t-miss meal that always delivers. The order here is simple: get the Mongolian Pork Chop with a side of fried onions, plus a seafood tostada as a nice palate cleanser. While we appreciate pork chops can be hard to get excited about, Mustard’s version is one of a kind. It’s juicy and tender like a filet mignon, and the mixture of the dijon mustard sauce it comes drenched in with sweet and sour cabbage is the kind of bite dreams are made of. Sprinkle some of those thinly sliced fried onions on top, and you have yourself an extremely good time. Everything on the menu is solid, but nothing else creates that lasting impression quite like the chop. " - christina julian, andrew steinthal
