“Great breakfast Good quality and good prices!!“

“Great spot, friendly staff, extensively eclectic menu“

“Huge shout out to Christie’s. This place has that true family owned, tight knit restaurant vibe that’s getting harder and harder to find. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and pride behind everything they do. The freshly squeezed orange juice is unreal bright, fresh, and exactly how it should be.

And the chicken fried steak… wow. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and smothered just right it’s straight fire. This is comfort food done right, the kind that hits every note and leaves you already planning your next visit. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and the quality is consistent.

They’re also dog friendly, which makes it an even better neighborhood spot for locals. What really sets Christie’s apart though is the people friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to serve their community. It feels like a place where regulars are family and new faces are treated the same way. If you’re looking for great food, honest flavors, and that classic neighborhood restaurant energy, Christie’s is a gem in Burlingame that absolutely deserves the love.“

“I had to stop by Royal Donut Cafe because of all of the great reviews I saw on Yelp! And I must say that I wasn't disappointed at all! The staff was awesome! From the cashier, to the cooks, and the server. And I even got a chance to meet the owner, Terri, who has taken over the business for the past 15 years! Definitely going to be a regular here! I ordered the vegetarian omelet! 😋“

“Great Korean food! I like that I can build my own binimbap with salad. I also requested French fries with cheese and homemade kimchi since I liked it when I tried from a food truck before. Sooooooo good! Not on the menu, but worth asking for.“

“The pink pancakes, huevos rancheros and chiliques were outstanding. Loved the food. The place is in an odd location: industrial fruit packing district in a weird parking lot. We didn’t think we were at the right place because of all the fork lifts. Server was lovely. It’s not the best atmosphere for breakfast but the food was good.“

“Great food and diverse menu selection. The Chilaquiles were delicious, very authentic Mexican taste and the French toast is to die for.“

“Good breakfast and coffee“

“This place is one of the best breakfast spots in town. The service is excellent, and the food is delicious. The place feels like home, and the French toast is particularly good. Overall, the food is great, and I would give it a solid 5 stars.“

“I have been to many IHOPs, especially to the ones in SF, SSF, DC, by far this is the best IHOP you can go to in terms of food, service and everything. Most IHOPs I been to aren’t as good as this one.

Jessica has been holding it down for so long as she always welcomes you with warmth and a nice smile! The service is amazing, the food I always cooked right and they never get the orders wrong nor do they take too long to take your order or make the food, they simply value your satisfaction.

Personally I like supporting smaller local business especially because I own one down the street, but this IHOP deserves that same kind of love.“

“Love the breakfast here! It’s my go-to spot! Staff is attentive and friendly. You can tell they care about the quality, the portions are generous, I’m really impressed with everything I get when I come here. I recommend the El Paso, Denver omelette, breakfast chorizo burrito and the buttermilk pancakes are top notch.“

“Great food served quickly. Bacon Avocado onelette is my go-to and it never disappoints. Order a cup of coffee, and you get a full carafe on the side for your dining pleasure. Shredded hash browns with onions are fantastic. I recommend any time you need a nice breakfast or lunch!“

“Really enjoyed my visit here! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, and everything came out hot and fresh. The staff was kind and welcoming, and even though it got a bit busy, they still made sure we were taken care of. The restaurant was clean and comfortable. Overall, a great spot for a cozy and satisfying breakfast.“

“Great Experience i went for Breakfast Obviously haha.... this is the very first time I have experience the warmth and felt welcomed I Hop South San Francisco, first day the server Gabriel and following day it was Hanna staffs from other i Hop should learn from them why I say that because of my past experience from other places, this store changed my perspective about i Hop Store Manager Nick personally goes to every Table and having a Lil chat was awesome... well all in all they are Definitions of Hospitality....

“The place was empty when we got there. We ordered fish and chips, a veggie omelette and chocolate pancakes. All were very good. I thought the fish was a bit extra salty but loading with tarter sauce made it better. The server was very courteous and timely. One other person came and left while we were there but other than that, we were the only customers in the place. I guess 5am is too early for most folks.“
