50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Foster City

“Nina’s Cafe makes some of the best empanadas I’ve ever had—perfectly baked and packed with flavor. The lamb leg is a must-try: juicy, tender, and deeply satisfying.

What really makes this place special, though, are the owners, Nina and Paula. They’re warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind—it’s clear they care about both the food and their guests.

A cozy spot with fantastic food and even better people. Highly recommend.“

“Delicious food and great service. We love many dishes from this restaurant“

“Simply the best coffee! And teas. Great bites. Quick healthy meals. Service is friendly. Quality people and product. Consistent. It’s a favorite for a reason!! Check it out. (If you haven’t already!!)“

“If you're looking for a Texas style BBQ, this is the place to go. I recently read that all the locations closed except for this one. It's not a sports bar, only two flat screens above the main dining area. It's not a place for a date, unless you and your guest are BBQ lovers.
The food is great as it has been since 1983. I ordered a full rack of baby back ribs, l have to say that they gave me 30% more ribs (18 bones) than any other place I've been to. The amount of fat on the ribs were perfect, that it was juicy, yet it doesn't make you lose your appetite. The sauce was the best and well balanced. Everyone's taste buds are different, this is my favorite.
I recommend that you try this place before it closes. I live in the East Bay area, I'll be crossing the bridge just to eat here. It's deliciously worth the trip.“

“Fresh, flavorful, and high-quality salads! Every bite is packed with top-tier ingredients, crisp greens, and deliciously crafted flavors that keep you coming back for more. Whether it's a classic or a bold new creation, Starbird salads never disappoint and the price is right! I love it!!! Highly recommended!!!!“

“I love Tong Sui!! Glad there's one near where I usually get my car serviced. Stopped by for the first time and they got A LOTTA flavors to try!! I love jasmine flavors and this summer they have it as a Jasmine Coconut Pudding!! Hope it'll stick around all-season instead!! Servicer is super nice and attentive as well!! Will come back!!“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive.Mehmet makes the best pizza I've ever had! The crust is perfectly baked, the ingredients are always fresh, and the flavors are out of this world. You can tell he puts a lot of passion and skill into every pizza he makes. If you're a pizza lover, Mehmet's creations are a must-try, Highly recommend!"“

“WOW! Their food was SO delicious! Their pad see ew was so chewy and yummy, and the pad Thai was so flavorful too. The yellow curry was amazing too. The inside is super trendy and cute, lots of lights and flowers. The staff was so attentive, and the food came extremely fast. Highly recommend!!“

“Had lunch here yesterday while passing through the area, the mushroom pide was out of this world. The pastry/crust was unbelievably fresh and the flavor was delicious! Our server Umut was super friendly and attentive. Positive experience all around!“

“I probably ordered the wrong thing. I got their matcha drink with coconut milk since they seem to be known for coconut, but. I don't think those two flavors mix together at all. Also tried the mango mochi pudding which was okay, and the mango drink which was good. Probably my fault since I don't like coconut that much. If you love coconut, you'll like this place.“

“The ambience is Japanese minimalist. Baristas are friendly. But more importantly the coffee is just perfect. My fave coffee spot in San Mateo. There's always a line though and if you want to sit in, good luck. It's a small place with not a lot of seating.“

“This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, MeeSun is sweet and nice. Cheers to Chef Justin and team for all the delicious dishes like whole roasted dorade fish prepared on the Hearth paired with grill asparagus, roasted wild mushrooms. However, you must try the warm milk bread, big eye tuna sashimi, white sturgeon caviar toast, beautiful presentation, wide wine list, draft suds try hazy IPA and wonderful dessert all of them! We had well known guests enjoying their dinner next table over from us. Stephen Curry and his lovely wife Ayesha. I recommend to everyone!“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Fresh Angus beef from Harris Ranch, grilled to perfection.“

“Not sure why I missed this place, but it’s awesome! Had the Philly Yerba frita with Vegas feta. Flavorful with a little heat. Pretty messy bit it was delicious and what’s a good sandwich unless it’s all over your face??? Can’t wait to go back. The beans and rice were nice. The social fries were good! 10/10.“

“I really love this place! The food is just delectable and yummy! I recommend the combo appetizer plate and the combo meat plate for two people to share. It will allow you to sample everything and still be content. I wish one thing they did differently was double the pita bread serving for the appetizer plate. That’s the only con. The service is quick and friendly. The restaurant is very modern and airy.“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Delicious food, super friendly service. A little slower than a typical restaurant, but that’s because everything is made to order and not sitting around in a pan waiting to be served. The food was amazing, and so pretty!“

“First time visiting a Mountain Mike’s and we are repeat customers because of Dave!! He provided excellent customer service & my kids loved going back here to eat. Highly recommend!“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“Going in with little knowledge on this restaurant, we had a great culinary experience. Food was innovative and freshly prepared and service (Mariah) on point. The small plates menu, as explained by our server, allowed us to sample many different dishes. We sampled the Oysters, Warm Sesame Pancakes, Salad, Crudo, Yellowfin Tuna over rice and Pork Belly and Octopus. Most "mindblowing" were the Oysters topped with Meyer Lemon Foam.“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“Sushi was delicious and service was great! Not a romantic spot though because it’s loud but fun if your going with family and friends. Music is good!!“

“The best vegan food Best ever service-our family go to for family events and every day dining ❤️“

Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“An absolute gem for anyone craving authentic and flavorful South Asian cuisine. The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes you want to keep coming back.

Their Chapli Kabab is a standout—juicy, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Paired with their soft, fluffy plain naan, it’s a combo that hits the spot every time. You can tell they put real care into their recipes.

The service is friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. It gets packed, especially around lunch, but the food is always worth the wait.

Highly recommended for a casual meal that doesn’t compromise on taste.“

“Great coffee, friendly service, good for plane spotting!“

“My 1st stop and meal when I visit SF annually. I always look foward having a In n Out burger the war I like it“

“Loved the food
The personnel were super friendly
The food was ready fast
The space is super beautiful and nice
We got chicken Tikka masala with rice and garlic naan

It was super delicious the portions aren't that big
The naan is fresh and hot very soft

We also got the burger with masala fries
It was good but similar to regular fries

We also got the mango yogurt drink which was super tasty

All the food is halal and not very spicy
The portions aren't that big though.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“First time here. Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere.“

“Love the pizza! We live in the East Bay but we stop by whenever we pass by San Mateo. We always get a Meat Lovers & the Chicken Pesto!“

“Loved the outside setting, very quiet, no traffic or crowds of tourists.“

“The outdoor patio was perfect for our Sunday brunch and our 18th Anniversary. We’ve celebrated many occasions at All Spice and have always had a stellar experience with the staff and the food. Our table felt intimate — we were sharing a large space with four other tables, appropriately distanced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Again, all Covid-19 compliant. The food, oh the food! The Dutch baby was perfectly cooked and the fruit fillings were gorgeous. The chicken sandwich was out of this world. The Mimosa and hard apple cider beverages were on point. We always love our meals at All Spice and this time was no exception. It’s a total gem!“

“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.

Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.

Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.“

“Halal beef burgers, made to order, soft brioche buns, veggie options, yummy milkshakes! Definitely with be a place we frequent! Face friendly business, family owned and operated 👏🏼🇺🇸“

“First time ordering a crunch cake! We got the 6” inch strawberry crunch cake and called in the order a day before to pick up. Parking is limited since it’s a residential street. When I arrived for pick up, they were just putting the brittle on. The cake is very unique, the strawberry crunch had brittle crumble all over the outside and in the inside are two moist cake and a thick layer of cream and fresh strawberries.The cake is not that sweet and taste amazing with the brittle crunch. Cutting it wasn’t that difficult, I wiped the knife each slice as instructed. I would order the mocha cake next time! This cake is $35, cash only.“

“i i went to your cafe today but they said its close its only 2pm … in the flyers it said there close at 3pm .“

“Charming Italian cafe near downtown San Mateo. Tucked away next to a bus stop on the busy El Camino Real, it’s a nice reprieve from the street traffic where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee with solid Italian food. Street parking is very hard to find, but there’s a paid parking lot across the street.“

“An exceptional culinary experience at Protégé in Palo Alto. Every dish showcased masterful technique and impeccable flavors. The A5 Japanese Wagyu Ribeye was perfectly marbled and melted effortlessly, while the Crab and Caviar delivered a luxurious balance of brine and sweetness. The lobster toast was crisp, buttery, and indulgent, and the Black Bass—flawless in execution—was the best I’ve encountered. The Ricotta Dumplings , delicate yet deeply flavorful, rounded out an unforgettable meal. The shigoku oysters with whipped ponzu were indescribably fresh and flavorful. The sunflower Caesar, with its preserved tomato jam, was a unique and unforgettable twist on a classic. As for the brick chicken that we took to go, it was so delicious that it barely made it home before being devoured. The experience was elevated even further by the outstanding service—every person was kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to creating a memorable evening. A true showcase of precision, creativity, and hospitality“
