“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.“

“LOVE THE CINNAMON TEA & COFFEE CAKE!

Long time customer - grew up going to the Cupertino location - often dining with or among city government officials & parks & rec staff!!

“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! 😋“

“I've been twice now in the last month and had solid experiences on both visits. I've tried the chilaquiles with steak, and the carne de puerco, both delicious dishes. My breakfast mates have had the casserole (skillet) dish both times, one with pork sausage and the other with chorizo. We all will happily come back here and eat again. The service is attentive and friendly.“

“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.“

“I had a great experience at this IHOP location. The food was fresh, and I could tell that the staff were doing their best providing great service for all guests. The place itself was also quite clean, including the seats, the restrooms, and the tables. Overall, I think it is a great IHOP location.“

“Loved this café! Atmosphere was lovely, very vintage! Service was polite and quick! And the food was very tasty! I was very happy they used fresh blueberries in the pancakes I ordered! I would love to take my sister’s family here when we’re all in the Bay Area again.“

“Good breakfast and coffee“

“Beatriz had amazing customer service they need to give her a raise she was amazing supper attentive she really does deserve that promotion. I hope to see when I come back. She did get that promotion. I’ve never had such an amazing customer service. I really appreciate her. Really made my day.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love stacks but I mostly have gone to Menlo in the past. This one in redwood city is just as good if not better for food and service. Valerie G was our server and was the best -- super impressed by the nice service by everyone. Always get the wheatgerm pancakes !!“

“Ordered the big steak omelette and pancakes.
Good portion. Great service always by Jason and Neri.
These guys are always prompt and have a can do attitude.
The pancakes are great, but the quality needs to improve when we ask for added strawberries and bananas as toppings.

Clean place.“
