Excellent breakfast and lunch place if you’re looking for the traditional American California-style food items. Expansive menu of omelettes, skillets, sandwiches, and many healthy items as well. Fast and friendly service in a bright and clean environment.

Bay Watch is a really nice breakfast/brunch place with several egg preparations including vegetarian friendly ones. I really appreciated that they also allow to substitute egg whites for any preparation making it a lot more healthy. I often come here with my toddler son after having fun in the nearby central park and it's an amazing way to end the morning. It's not typically crowded and the prices are quite reasonable as well. Highly recommend!Vegetarian options: They are flexible in substituting meat with other proteins, that said the menu by default has many options.Kid-friendliness: They have a high chair, puzzles (for older kids) and a booster chair. There are TVs higher up as well for a quick distraction.

Great service, amazing food, and a beautiful atmosphere, especially during Christmas. The only reason why I docked a point off the food is: sometimes food is not made at it's best, however it's still good, never bad.Kid-friendliness: They have pets on the TVs. I don't recall a kids menu because I never ask for one, however food should be able to be boxed and taken-out anyway.

Nice little cozy place in downtown San mateo. All staff that I came in contact with were very pleasant to deal with. It's got that mom n pop place feeling about it. The food was pretty good. It's a good place to take the family.Kid-friendliness: Menu full of kid-friendly options.

Charming restaurant in downtown San Mateo. We were looking for a nice home breakfast and we found it. The staff was very friendly and quick to help. Many choices for the Eggs Benedict, I had the good old-fashioned ham. It was delicious with hash brown and fruits. They have a large menu including omelets, pancakes and much more. Great value.

They are now open for dinner and food is especially good at dinner time. Good french fries. Burgers are moist. Good pancakes but served upside down for some reason. ?
It's alright. Great service ?
