History

Gott's Roadside in Napa
Dining area at the St. Helena restaurant

When the owners of a burger shack in St. Helena—Taylor's Refresher—decided to lease out their 50-year-old property, brothers Joel and Duncan Gott capitalized the opportunity to run their own restaurant. The restaurant became Taylor's Automatic Refresher when the first location re-opened in St. Helena in 1999, and (in the aftermath of a trademark dispute, and over the protests of the Taylor family) was renamed in 2010 as Gott's Roadside.[4]

The restaurants embrace a California-casual cooking style, featuring

microbrewed beer and wines alongside chili cheese dogs and mini corn dogs.[5] In 2004, a second Gott's opened in the Ferry Building Marketplace in San Francisco, and in 2007, a third opened in the Oxbow Public Market of Napa.[6] The St. Helena spot is a drive-in, with seating at red picnic tables on the lawn, while the other two locations are built in an urban, retro diner-style. In 2013, a fourth location opened in Palo Alto.[7] The newest Gott's Roadside location is now open in Greenbrae in Marin County
. The company remains privately owned.

In 2006 Taylor's received the
