“These guys really know how to make a burger. The shoestring fries are crispy and hot. The burger comes on a very delicious soft bun and was cooked to perfection. Fresh lettuce, tomato, and onion to really top it off nicely. I got the $15 lunch deal and was very happy.“

“M y family was in town cleaning my mother in laws house in San Mateo. My son found this place and the food was amazing. We got a large cheese and pepperoni pizza and it was more than enough for 8 of us!! And very good. We will definitely order only from Bizza in the future. The owner and staff were very nice and the place was spotless and so cute inside.“

“The Best PASTRAMI!! Could not believe how juicy and tasty it was. From a low of 1 to a high of 10, it just breaks the ceiling at a score of 11. I was happy to see a lot of choices for drinks. Make sure you save space for the Baked Pudding. Excellent service from our server, Oliver! It was my first time and he gave the right recommendations. Fast and friendly service too. He would often pass by to check on us. And my group was a bit demanding by asking for napkins, then spoons. Thank you. I give it 5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We visited this place on a weekday evening for dinner takeout. Place was quiet. Very clean and well maintained. The order took around 10 minutes but we built in that time as this is not a fast food place. Staff were very friendly.We ordered Classic Burger which was tasty and fresh. Sweet potato fries and ginger lemon drink were also good.“

“I've waited years for a Super Duper to open on the peninsula, and this branch does not disappoint.

Very clean, great staff and service, and burgers are as excellent as the Marina and SOMA locations. We love being able to modify burgers to fit dietary restrictions and preferences. I love how I'm reminding of the quality and freshness of the beef patties with every super duper burger I've had.

My standard order:
- cheeseburger with aged cheddar, extra veggies, jalapeños. sometimes i sub the bun w/ ciabatta
- keto cheeseburger, extra veggies
- cheeseburger without veggies (kids' request)
- fries
- ice cream shakes or cones

I appreciate them using compostable packaging , stainless steel trays and zero plastics (or as little as possible).

Parking was fine on a recent Saturday around 12:30pm

Manager walked around regularly to check on tables , and gernrally make sure things were running smoothly (I think I even saw him water one of the potted plants outside).

Music playlist on point with a variety of genres, and there were even some Snow Patrol and Duran Duran songs I haven't heard in a while. Oh nostalgia!

[Edited to add - they do in fact have beer and wine, so I guess that'll be included in my order next weekend!]
The only thing missing for me is this location does not have beer / wine (which SOMA location has), but it's a small aspect that maybe isn't needed for a large portion of their clientele

Thank you , Super Duper, for making my burger dreams come true!“

“I had chocolate pudding shake and bacon cheese burger lettuce wrap. They were so good! We also ordered the fries. It was a little dry, but ketchup made it better. We were then told by our friends to order fries with cheese sauce next time. I am still thinking about the shake today.. it was delicious!!“
