50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Mateo

“The outdoor patio was perfect for our Sunday brunch and our 18th Anniversary. We’ve celebrated many occasions at All Spice and have always had a stellar experience with the staff and the food. Our table felt intimate — we were sharing a large space with four other tables, appropriately distanced. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Again, all Covid-19 compliant. The food, oh the food! The Dutch baby was perfectly cooked and the fruit fillings were gorgeous. The chicken sandwich was out of this world. The Mimosa and hard apple cider beverages were on point. We always love our meals at All Spice and this time was no exception. It’s a total gem!“

“Great atmosphere and brews.“

“The do called "inclusive" atmosphere is really just an owner who hates everyone who has different views. If your social or political views are woke, you aren't welcome. Spend your money elsewhere. This guy is an idiot.“

“Was greeted & seated promptly. Welcomed by Manager Hung. Brittany was our waitress & we received the 20th Anniversary Sacks. Happy Anniversary.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, and the staff were friendly and attentive.Mehmet makes the best pizza I've ever had! The crust is perfectly baked, the ingredients are always fresh, and the flavors are out of this world. You can tell he puts a lot of passion and skill into every pizza he makes. If you're a pizza lover, Mehmet's creations are a must-try, Highly recommend!"“

“WOW! Their food was SO delicious! Their pad see ew was so chewy and yummy, and the pad Thai was so flavorful too. The yellow curry was amazing too. The inside is super trendy and cute, lots of lights and flowers. The staff was so attentive, and the food came extremely fast. Highly recommend!!“

“I really enjoyed my Friday morning visit around 10 a.m. There was about a 5-minute wait, a short line, and all the chairs were taken, lots of people standing around and the space was loud and crowded. I was meeting a friend, and even in the bustle we were able to have a wonderful conversation. By about 10:30, the crowd thinned out, and we found a table to enjoy not just our conversation but also some delicious coffee.

She ordered a flat white and loved it, saying it had a caramel-like taste. I had the Tahitian vanilla latte with oat milk (so good!) and an avocado toast. Next time, I’ll definitely order the avocado toast with an egg and try the miso latte the barista recommended.

The café has seating for maybe 15–20 people, either individually or paired up. Overall, a great spot, I’ll definitely be back!“

“This was a great place! We loved it very much. We are from out of the area and enjoyed this cozy little café. It is so clean and the restrooms are beautiful. The inside is welcoming and the staff is simply amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough. Please go and then go again! Because you'll want more. Thank you for a great adventure. My husband and I appreciated your hospitality and the meal was more than we could have ever dreamed of.“

“Sushi was delicious and service was great! Not a romantic spot though because it’s loud but fun if your going with family and friends. Music is good!!“

“First time ordering a crunch cake! We got the 6” inch strawberry crunch cake and called in the order a day before to pick up. Parking is limited since it’s a residential street. When I arrived for pick up, they were just putting the brittle on. The cake is very unique, the strawberry crunch had brittle crumble all over the outside and in the inside are two moist cake and a thick layer of cream and fresh strawberries.The cake is not that sweet and taste amazing with the brittle crunch. Cutting it wasn’t that difficult, I wiped the knife each slice as instructed. I would order the mocha cake next time! This cake is $35, cash only.“

“Fiero Cafe is truly a hidden gem in San Mateo! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the passion and authenticity behind everything they do. Filippo Guarino, the owner, pours his heart into every dish, and it shows. His handcrafted Italian food is nothing short of extraordinary, fresh ingredients, rich flavors, and the kind of attention to detail you only find in true Italian cooking.

I tried the catzo sandwich, and it was fantastic, perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. On top of the food, Filippo makes you feel like family, welcoming you with warmth and genuine hospitality.

If you’re looking for an authentic Italian dining experience in the Bay Area, Fiero Cafe is a must. Do yourself a favor and go, you’ll leave planning your next visit before you even walk out the door.“

“Halal beef burgers, made to order, soft brioche buns, veggie options, yummy milkshakes! Definitely with be a place we frequent! Face friendly business, family owned and operated 👏🏼🇺🇸“

“A little charming restaurant in downtown San Mateo, homemade bread with delicious dipping sauce. We had fried calamari and squid ink pasta (hand made in the shop) with prawns and mussels exceeding our expectations, definitely will visit again to try other dishes.“

“Great food an Service. Friendly staff and generous portions.“

“Love the pizza! We live in the East Bay but we stop by whenever we pass by San Mateo. We always get a Meat Lovers & the Chicken Pesto!“

“The bacon scallion scones are delicious!“

“Fritters are great for a treat“

“Great service, delicious food and beautiful decorations.“

“Best tuna melt I ever had. Thank you so much. I enjoyed my lunch.“

“Do you love going to Flavortown? How about dreaming with your eyes open? Then try these birria tacos. The first time I had it was from leftovers that my daughter brought home for lunch. Then I drove from Oakley to San Mateo to have them fresh. It was AMAZING! They provide extra stuff to add to the tacos, but it honestly didn’t need them. The meat was so tender & flavorful that I had to close my eyes so I could fully appreciate the taste. Then I added the extras one by one & it tasted like a new taco each time. I know it seems like I’m exaggerating, but it’s really that good! My only wish is that they had seating nearby & a second location closer to Oakley.“

“fast customer service and good food“

“good food and love the mimosa“

“Nice all the time“

“How I just LOVED this restaurant. Me and some family members went here after a boring fishing trip and it made my day! The rice was perfectly cooked, the dishes had large portions enough for the three of us, and the pot stickers were cooked to perfection. The service was great, it was fast and easy! I don't have much more to say about it! The atmosphere had that wonderful Chinese restaurant feel to it with wonderful smells wafting through the air along with the friendly waiters always making you smile.“

“Many different flavors for yogurt. Try them they're delicious.“

“Best kept secret in town. Good, friendly service, and the breakfast sandwiches and breakfast burritos are surprisingly good, NOT overpriced--very affordable from a comparable standpoint. Over the past month the wait times have grown as more and more people are finding out about this place.“

“Couldn’t be happier choosing Nick the Greek on DoorDash for dinner before a late flight. Had the Gyro Bowl and Pita & Hummus, and everything was outstanding. Hard to find a place where delivery travels well, but Nick’s is your spot! Enjoy!“

“Cozy little hidden place in San Mateo. A bakery, coffee shop and specialized on cakes. They do offer some Filipino delicacies.“

“Great food❤️Great service, great atmosphere.“

“I had the North Shore sandwich. It was delicious! The portions here are generous, you will not leave hungry. I’m looking forward to returning and trying one of the salads, they looked incredible. Definitely check Beach Hut Deli out when you are in the area.“

“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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Vegetable fried dumplings, soy sauce noodles, and green onion pancakes were all incredibly good. Staff was supremely helpful, kind, and personable. Highly recommend!“

“I lowkey think the mini chocolate croissant is the sleeper hit here. Pretzel croissant dough for a little extra chew and some salt to contrast and bring out the chocolate 🤌😚

Also complies with my harm reduction diet, 12oz coffee cup for scale. The back patio is lovely as well.“

“I love the passion fruit tea! You have to try it!!!!“

“I love the love sign in the Golden latte! #Nice!“

“I recently grabbed lunch at a local taco truck, and the experience was delightful. The carne asada tacos were flavorful, and the spicy salsa added a nice kick. The staff was friendly, making the visit enjoyable. However, the tacos were priced at $3 each, which seemed a bit high for a food truck. Despite this, the quality of the food made it worthwhile“

“Home away from home. 🏈🍺🎉💕“

“My favorite restaurant in Burlingame food is always fresh and not salty I love it 🥰 service is super nice“

“Okay so the service is excellent! Gabrielle was very helpful and knowledgeable on the menu. We had the avocado quinoa salad and the chicken sandwich spicy one. It was okay. The salad was a little different Grinding crunchy quinoa which for 35 and up freaks you out because it feels like a tooth broke! If you have allergies it might be hard to pick through food as my man is allergic to corn and onion and it was all over the food. The juice is awesome but lemonade was too sweet! They should fix by the juice because it was a mess of dirty towels. Overall I give this place a 4 because it’s a great concept with good service but needs to clean up a little. Would I come here again??? Maybe if someone wanted it. So it’s not a no. Kiddos to awesome employees.“

“Excellent quality. This is the Asian bakery we keep coming back to over and over again. I particularly recommend the scallion bun, I get that more than anything else, but the Portuguese egg tarts and pineapple cakes deserve honourable mention. It’s all good though.“

“Such a cool spot! KitchenTown is a food startup incubator, and through their Cafe (now Curbside), we all get access to that yummy, trendy food. Super seamless experience. Just order online, and they'll drop it into your car on weekends. The food is really high-quality. It comes frozen and reheats in 15min, so I keep my freezer stocked to brighten up a random weekday. Love the chicken chili verde, all the pastas, the Korean short rib, and fresh breads. There's also a coffee counter, so I grab an oat milk latte while I pick up my food for the week.“

“First time! Will definitely be back!!“

“Favorite boba spot!! My go to drink is the Grass Jelly Almond Latte with mochi cake. Yifang is the only boba place with this type of traditional drink and it’s awesome. Tried some of the other drinks like the Yifang Fruit Tea and that was good too, had a lot of fruit and quite refreshing. Would def recommend to anyone looking for traditional Taiwanese drinks/smoothies!“

“Could not be more appreciative of their excellent customer service. I dropped a drink I ordered inside their store on the floor, not only did they clean it up, but also made a new one for me. I am so grateful! The drink is also very delicious, they put a lot of efforts in making it just right.“

“Love this place ?
Healthy food / juice / smoothie choices, staff is very friendly and attentive, we come by regularly for a vitamin boost (twister juice ??)
Everything is fresh and made to order so plan a bit of time for the preparation.
I highly recommend ?

Parking: Some free spots 24 min for a quick pickup“

“Outstanding Indian food in a casual and cozy location. The food here is probably the best Indian food I've had anywhere. We had the Butter Chicken and Lamb Vindaloo with garlic naan. Both dishes were authentic tasting and superbly prepared. Neither dish was overpowering in spices or heat. You could tell fresh spices, seasonings and ingredients were used. Servings were ample too.“

“I deliver custom cabinets in Silicon Valley from Bend Oregon and when I’m in North Bay I always eat here. Always fabulous food for me and my German Shorthair Pointer. Room to park for my huge delivery van. I have never got anything bad for last 6 yrs it’s always been great“

“I go here all the time for their claw machines, unique drinks, and MUCH cheaper coconut pudding than places like Tong Sui (hate to start competition but it must be said). The customer service, always very nice ladies working behind the counter! Their drinks I love too, especially the mango coconut pudding drink. Lots of lower reviews of how slow this business runs is not true. Only once did that happen to me in 3 years of going there, and it is important to understand that I always see that workers behind the counter trying to handle it the best they could! They don’t slack off!“

“Shiki in San Mateo has become my secret midday haven—my dependable, no-fuss escape from the grind of workdays. Whether it's a comforting bowl of udon or a beautifully simple sushi combo, there's a quiet satisfaction in knowing exactly what I’m walking into: clean flavors, fast service, and a calm atmosphere that gives me just enough of a breather to reset.“
