Napa Valley’s Gott’s Roadside Stand Opens Its First Los Angeles Location

Napa Valley’s cult-favorite roadside burger stand, Gott’s Roadside, will open its first Los Angeles location in Beverly Grove on March 6, 2026. Set in the Original Farmers Market, this will be the first Southern California expansion for Gott’s Roadside.

The first iteration of Gott’s Roadside was born in 1999 when brothers Joel and Duncan Gott took over casual roadside burger stop Taylor Refresher in St. Helena, California, and renamed it Taylor’s Automatic Refresher. In 2010, amid a trademark dispute over the Taylor’s moniker, the restaurant was renamed Gott’s Roadside. Since opening its first location, Gott’s has expanded across the Bay Area with outlets in Napa, the San Francisco Ferry Building, Palo Alto, San Francisco International Airport, and more.

Expansion to Southern California has long been the hope for Gott’s Roadside’s president, Clay Walker. “We’ve always been attracted to the Southern California market because it’s really the only place that has better weather than we have,” Walker says. He began searching for the right home for Gott’s about eight years ago, finally settling on the Original Farmers Market, which stood out for its visibility, built-in traffic from the Grove, and indoor-outdoor setup.

Los Angeles’s Gott’s Roadside will serve the same menu as its Bay Area counterparts with a distinctive California wine country twist on the classic roadside diner menu. Burger options span a classic cheeseburger on a toasted egg bun; a gochujang mayo–topped kimchi burger; the California burger with Gruyere, bacon, arugula, and balsamic onions; and the Western Bacon Blue Ring with a beer-battered onion ring, Point Reyes Farmstead blue cheese, and bacon. Burgers can be modified with a veggie patty, turkey patty, or vegan Impossible patty; regular buns can be substituted with a lettuce wrap or gluten-free bun.

Alongside the burgers, find chicken tenders tossed in Zab’s hot honey, a chicken kale Caesar showered in Parmesan, beer-battered Baja fish tacos, and a Niman Ranch hot dog. A kids menu offers mini corn dogs, a cheeseburger, chicken tenders, and more for those 12 and under. Gott’s milkshakes will also make the trip down to Los Angeles, available in flavors including cookies and cream, chocolate, mint chip, and strawberry. Beer and wine will be available, along with kombucha, iced tea, and soda.

“We’re super confident in our offering,” Walker says. “We have a broad menu, and along with that, breadth means there’s something for everybody.” He adds that at the Northern California locations, it’s not uncommon for guests to come back multiple times a week and order something different each time. While the Los Angeles menu will be the same as other locations to start, Walker says the restaurant isn’t closed off to eventually testing out new Los Angeles–specific items.

Gott’s Los Angeles outpost resembles the original in St. Helena with white clapboard ceilings and splashes of red throughout. The restaurant will offer both indoor and outdoor dining, plus a soft serve window on site. “It looks kind of almost like an old house, but smack dab in the middle of urban Los Angeles,” Walker says.

As the opening approaches, Walker looks forward to seeing if Los Angeles embraces Gott’s the way the Bay Area has. So far, the response has been promising. Walker says that since they took the construction barricades down, there have already been excited onlookers. “We’re getting a lot of love,” he says.

Following the opening of Gott’s Roadside at the Original Farmers Market, the restaurant plans to open a second Los Angeles location in Santa Monica in fall 2026.

Gott’s Roadside opens on March 6, 2026 at 6333 W. Third Street, Unit 706, Los Angeles, CA 90036.
