Food was pretty good. Sad to see it go over a fake plannedemic.

A lifetime of coming here and never once had a bad experience. This establishment is a historical landmark, in my opinion. Nini's will surely be missed by thousands of patrons wanting a awesome meal with a warm home feel. Deeply saddened to see it go.

This was such a wonderful family run business, and I'm so sad to see it has closed. It was our family tradition to go to Nini's when we lived in San Mateo and I wish we could have gone at least one more time. They had delicious food, amazing service and provided the best atmosphere. Thanks for so many wonderful years!

It looks like this is the end of the line for Nini's. There is a For Sale sign on the building. This makes me sadder than any other restaurant closure in my life. I've been a customer, consistently, for over 25 years and I've loved every cup of coffee, every corned beef hash plate, every interaction with the amazing staff. Thanks for all the wonderful memories.

A nice surprise. Great for breakfast. Always a crowd but wait is only about 30 minutes. Tough parking. You just need to be lucky. Will return again..

The best breakfast in the South San Francisco, SFO, San Mateo areas! It has everything that a good breakfast place should have, eggs, bacon, sausages, potatoes, toast, corner beef hash , oj, burgers, pancakes etc. Super friendly service, awesome food, big portions. We missed them as they were closed during the Covid time. I don't eat generally eat breakfast but if I am eating, I would like it at the Nini's.

One of my favorite breakfast/brunch spots in the peninsula. They do their best to remember everyone by face and name and they give you that feeling of small town coffee shop. Will be going back many more times!

Listen, you're going to wait! (And if it's a weekend wait awhile) but trust me, well worth it! This spot is so cute and absolutely delicious! My partner got the hot Link's and eggs and since moving to CA from Louisiana he hadn't found a spot with good Hot Links until Nini's. I got an omelet and it was huge, fluffy and delicious! The service is wonderful and you feel like you're in a family establishment from the minute you walk in to the minute you walk out.

Bustling diner with amazing food! Countertop/bar service and tables, visited pre-pandemic. Good food like this deserves to be shared! Community gem, street parking is tight; highly recommend.

Please come back! When are you going to open up again?! Rick and I miss coming by when we land from our flights! Best omelets I've ever had and no one can compare! Sitting at the bar was our favorite. Hope y'all reopen!
Please come back, Nini's Cafe!!!! We miss your breakfast food, backyard patio, and delicious coffee!!! Such a friendly atmosphere from hostess, to servers, to waiters! It always feels like home at Nini's! They make everyone feel like family. The brunch is truly scrumptous and menu has a lot of variety!!! We've been to so many brunch places and this one's on the top of our list!!!

This is the best breakfast spot in Burlingame. A quaint family run restaurant with excellent food and friendly service. The outdoor patio is full of nostalgic icons with heating lamps for your comfort on those colder days. I'm so sad that this restaurant has been completely shut down during the pandemic...especially since they are already equipped with a wonderful outdoor seating option. Come back NINI's...we miss u!

My dad, the kids and I have been going to Nini's for over 35 years. I've met all the owner, watched the waitresses get married, have kids. The chefs are nice guys. The atmosphere is as if you are at home. In your dining room with lots of guests. The food holds such heart and soul in every bite. I can't wait fir it to open up again.

My husband and I used to go to Nini's every other week. Amazing food and friendly staff. Sad to see them temporarily closed and hope they will make it through. Just saw that they might reopen on Jan 15. I hope everyone is safe and well and hope to see them soon.
