Gott’s Roadside, the Napa Valley-based eatery, is getting ready to open a new location in Los Angeles at 6301 3rd Street, Unit #706
The new restaurant will be located at the northwest corner of the historic Farmers Market, facing Fairfax Avenue, within a 31-acre commercial site that also includes The Grove shopping center, according to documents submitted to the Los Angeles Planning Department. The Gott’s space will consist of 2,486 square feet of indoor dining with 43 seats, an expanded 1,070-square-foot outdoor terrace with 58 seats, and a new 1,000-square-foot patio across a pedestrian walkway, offering 72 additional seats. President Clay Walker tells What Now Los Angeles that this location is scheduled to open in Fall 2025.
The City Planning Department approved the restaurant’s request to sell beer and wine for on-site consumption, in line with previous alcohol entitlements granted at the property. The proposal received a letter of support from the Mid City West Neighborhood Council and a non-opposition letter from the LAPD, which included 29 operating conditions; all of these conditions were accepted. A public hearing was held on July 3, 2025, and local residents or nearby businesses raised no objections. Officials confirmed that there will be no structural changes beyond the expanded outdoor dining areas. The project received approval from the Office of Historic Resources due to its location at a designated historic site.
Founded by brothers Joel and Duncan Gott in St. Helena in 1999, Gott’s Roadside has grown into a well-regarded Northern California chain recognized as a James Beard America’s Classic. The restaurant offers a modern take on American roadside fare, including burgers, Ahi tacos, hand-spun shakes, and fresh salads. Gott’s emphasizes locally sourced ingredients and extends that commitment to the bar, featuring a California-focused selection of wines and craft beers hand-selected by Joel Gott. The 6301 3rd Street location will be the restaurant’s first in Southern California.
