LAKEPORT, Calif. — Lakeport restaurant Gaslight Grill hosted a visit from America’s Best Restaurants earlier this month.

America’s Best Restaurants, a national media and marketing company focusing on bringing attention to local, independently-owned restaurants, brought its ABR Roadshow to the restaurant on May 9.

Popular dishes were highlighted, along with an extensive on-camera interview with owners Rod and Deanne Padel about the restaurant’s special place in the community. 

The episode will be aired extensively on social media channels at a later date.

Established in 1988, Gaslight Grill is situated in historic downtown Lakeport, offering a tavern-style ambience and serving an American menu of casual dishes. 

Originally known as Jack’s Gaslight Grill, the popular eatery closed in 2010 before the Padels revived it in 2017.

Gaslight Grill serves sandwiches and burgers, soups and salads, appetizers, and house specialties such as the hot pastrami sandwich and the turkey melt. They have daily food specials, happy hour,  and a wide selection of beer and wine including sixteen beers on tap, including some that rotate seasonally.

The restaurant’s finished episode premiere date will be announced on their Facebook page and will be featured on America’s Best Restaurants’ website at https://americasbestrestaurants.com/rests/california/gaslight-grill. 

Restaurants featured on the ABR Roadshow are selected based on their customer reviews, menu items, social media presence and level of involvement with their community. They are found through customer nominations, internal vetting or by a restaurant applying to be featured at www.americasbestrestaurants.com.

The Gaslight Grill, located at 135 N. Main St. in Lakeport, is open Monday through Saturday.
