Generations of local residents and travelers have patronized the hamburger stand that Popsy Taylor first opened in St. Helena in 1949. In the early years, families could drive up to the hamburger stand, order and eat right in their cars. According to a press release, Virginia and her late husband, Charley Toogood, took over the restaurant in 1968 and, with other family members, operated it for the next 30 years. In 1999, Taylor’s Refresher was leased to Joel and Duncan Gott, who renovated it before reopening. It is now called Gott’s Roadside and is a popular eatery for both locals and visitors to St. Helena.
