11 Best American Restaurants in San Mateo

“We had an absolutely lovely experience here! Came for my boyfriend’s birthday, everyone was friendly and attentive. Fantastic high end ambience. The food was almost too beautiful to eat and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. One of our guests said it was the best spaghetti he had ever had! The mushroom risotto was perfection. I had the Chilean sea bass and WOW! The salmon was also amazing. The other two guests had roasted chicken and hangar steak… I didn’t get to try them but they looked amazing and everyone cleaned their plate even though we were full lol! We will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!! 5 stars ⭐️“

“Good food. Good service. Good atmosphere.“

“Reservation at 7pm. Arrived 6:56 and seated 7:22, not sure what's the point of reserving. Server took our order, then returned when our plate was finished. Never checked in on us, never refilled water. Kitchen forgot our appetizer but it was placed as confirm by our waiter. Clam chowder did have a big piece of undissolved flour. Food was great though, will be back.“

“The restaurant is filled with festive spirits for the upcoming holidays! Nice decorations with tall glass windows for all the lights to shine through. Warm and cozy place. The waitress was so lovely and energetic even though it’s already midday.

The food was good. Only one small thing: the poached eggs of Egg Benedicts wasn’t poached enough. It was almost like a boiled eggs. Should be runnier. Otherwise, everything was good.“

“Always love all their pies and we go there whenever we are visiting the area.“

“My favorite restaurant in Burlingame food is always fresh and not salty I love it 🥰 service is super nice“

“First time visiting Super Duper Burgers —
Smooth and intuitive experience. The kiosk made ordering easy. For a fast causal restaurant I was surprised my burger was cooked medium. Which is how I order them — when I can. Using the kiosk system — you can choose your burger’s cook temp—medium is the default, but you can opt for well-done if you ask. That’s rare in fast casual.

So, with that being said. The burger was legit. For a fast casual spot, the quality held up. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked medium as promised.

They are known for their Shakes & Ice Cream:
Didn’t try them this round, but the flavor lineup was tempting. Definitely will when I return for a visit.

The only drawback was the garlic fries—Overloaded with garlic, which made them soggy fast. Didn’t finish. Next time I order regular fries.

Overall— solid burgers, clean establishment, and friendly staff.“

“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!“

“I deliver custom cabinets in Silicon Valley from Bend Oregon and when I’m in North Bay I always eat here. Always fabulous food for me and my German Shorthair Pointer. Room to park for my huge delivery van. I have never got anything bad for last 6 yrs it’s always been great“

“We had such a great meal at Marketplace Café! After the long shopping the arugula and prosciutto pizza was amazing—the crust was perfectly baked, very interesting combination of flavors. For the kids we ordered the mac and cheese, and it came out creamy, cheesy (they loved it!). We finished with the strawberry shortcake, and honestly it’s the best I’ve ever had— fresh strawberries and a buttery biscuit that was just perfect. Great food, friendly service, and a cozy spot inside Nordstrom“
