Godfather's Burger Lounge

Been ordering take-out from Godfather's for years. The best burger in the Bay is found in the quaint city of Belmont. Excellent service as well, they really care about the customer. 5/5

I live in half Moon Bay on the coastside. Celebrating my girlfriend‘s birthday. We went to the godfather burger lounge for a late lunch. Hands down one of the best Gourmet BURGER restaurants ( ORGANIC)
I work in the restaurant business myself, & the owner should be very proud of the
THE GODFATHER BURGER LOUNGE …Everything was excellent service atmosphere & the food was off the charts.. Looking forward to my next trip over 92, because this will definitely be one of my stops..

Busy busy busy. We were lucky enough to have counter seating since all the tables were already taken. The burgers are pretty decent. Won't say it's life changing but definitely scratch the itch.

Simply the best burger anywhere. Friendly service. Great wine list. And pretty awesome desserts if you manage to save any room. We go there often!

This spot is hands down one of my go-to burger joints in the Peninsula. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cheeseburger/ chicken or even vegeterian or want to try one of their creative specials, they never disappoint. The patties are always juicy and perfectly cooked, and their fresh, flavorful toppings take things to the next level. The buns are soft yet sturdy enough to hold everything together – a small but important detail that makes all the difference.

Their fries are crispy, golden perfection, and the milkshakes? Absolutely amazing. Creamy, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness.

We've enjoyed every visit. Love that they're willing to cook our burgers to a truly rare temp.

We have to drive pretty far to come here, so we don't get to eat here as often as we would like. We'd come back more frequently if they were open later and parking were easier in this area, but we understand that they don't control the traffic and maybe their clientele don't eat out as late as we do.

If the owner sees this: Please bring back the meatball sliders, or at least a "pizza burger" like burger with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese! The meatball sliders were my favorite item on the menu going back to my first visit in August 2023.

Prices are reasonable considering the area. For only $5-$10 more per person than Five Guys you can have a full sit-down experience in a swankily-decorated restaurant with burgers cooked to your chosen temp.

The portions are huge and the two of us are never able to finish 2 burgers and fries or even 1 burger and 2 sliders and fries in one sitting. For reference when we eat at Five Guys we polish off 2 triple patties and fries every time.

We've liked some of the burger toppings better than others but that's a matter of individual taste. I have a pretty delicate mouth so some of the crunchier foods (calamari, onion straws) cut up my mouth. The onion rings are sweeter and blander than I'd prefer but are less crunchy so better for my mouth (same with the sweet potato fries, which I wouldn't recommend if you like a crunchier fry, but are perfect for me).

The honey chipotle sauce reminds me of the spicy ketchup at Moo Creamery in Bakersfield, my other favorite burger place (at least since Lucky Devils in L.A. closed down - but they had wagyu burgers for $25 so may be an unfair comparison).

Service has always been friendly and efficient. They check up on you a bunch throughout the meal and don't upsell you on drinks and desserts.

Good to know: They still seat people with less than half an hour to go before closing. Seated a table at 8:10 on a Sunday and took their order at 8:15.

Update: I don't know if I should be encouraging people to show up late but one time I noticed people being seated 10 minutes after closing! I still wouldn't risk it personally since I'm not local. Would be so sad to drive for an hour only to be turned away.

I knew why I didn’t come back here for a long time . The burger is not what it used to be . Just no seasoning , even medium rare the meat tastes as if it was frozen not fresh and not cooked evenly . Well I guess in those days we don’t know or have any better and went here . Now there are lot of other burger places do it well .
