50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Woodside

“Fantastic community based organization at a beautiful. Welcoming site!“

“They have a surprisingly delicious breakfast burrito that comes with your choice of meat (bacon, chorizo, ham), a generous amount of creamy scrambled eggs, and cheese. Comes with a side of potatoes, sour cream, salsa and guacamole. And all for a relatively reasonable price of $15. It could definitely use a touch more meat.

A welcomed oasis on a long and winding drive (or a bike ride), Alice's is tucked in the middle of a dense forest where it's swaddled by redwood trees. There's also a little general store to grab some snacks, beverages and use the restroom. You come to Alice's for the vibes, not necessarily the food.“

“Beautiful wedding of my daughter in a most lovely picturesque winery with exquisite food & wine that endlessly flowed!“

“Best French onion soup anywhere. The smash burger is surprisingly really good too. The bartender on the weekends is always great and takes care of us. Lots of Silicon Valley lore and memorabilia on the walls and the ceiling. Fantastic place for food!

Dietary restrictions: 3 vegan options on the menu“

“It was very nice. Food was great and atmosphere wonderful!“

I love jasmine flavors and this summer they have it as a Jasmine Coconut Pudding!! Hope it'll stick around all-season instead!! Servicer is super nice and attentive as well!! Will come back!!“

“Great food and pet friendly.“

“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!!“

“Good food, clean restaurant, good service“

“Had lunch here yesterday while passing through the area, the mushroom pide was out of this world. The pastry/crust was unbelievably fresh and the flavor was delicious! Our server Umut was super friendly and attentive. Positive experience all around!“

“I probably ordered the wrong thing. I got their matcha drink with coconut milk since they seem to be known for coconut, but. I don't think those two flavors mix together at all. Also tried the mango mochi pudding which was okay, and the mango drink which was good. Probably my fault since I don't like coconut that much. If you love coconut, you'll like this place.“

“The ambience is Japanese minimalist. Baristas are friendly. But more importantly the coffee is just perfect. My fave coffee spot in San Mateo. There's always a line though and if you want to sit in, good luck. It's a small place with not a lot of seating.“

“This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts, MeeSun is sweet and nice. Cheers to Chef Justin and team for all the delicious dishes like whole roasted dorade fish prepared on the Hearth paired with grill asparagus, roasted wild mushrooms. However, you must try the warm milk bread, big eye tuna sashimi, white sturgeon caviar toast, beautiful presentation, wide wine list, draft suds try hazy IPA and wonderful dessert all of them! We had well known guests enjoying their dinner next table over from us. Stephen Curry and his lovely wife Ayesha. I recommend to everyone!“

“Good food and great customer service. Do recommend“

“Fresh Angus beef from Harris Ranch, grilled to perfection.“

“Not sure why I missed this place, but it’s awesome! Had the Philly Yerba frita with Vegas feta. Flavorful with a little heat. Pretty messy bit it was delicious and what’s a good sandwich unless it’s all over your face??? Can’t wait to go back. The beans and rice were nice. The social fries were good! 10/10.“

“GREAT SERVICE! They made me feel like family! The owner Carlos is such a nice and friendly man and the bar tender Gio was the sweetest gal! Everyone was so kind! And the food!!! 🤤🤤🤤 So good!! Like…memorable! Highly recommended! The desserts were just as good! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Very Nice staff and very clean kitchen and they always treat ME LIKE FAMILY WHEN I COME IN. I recommend this place and its a great addition to our community. Love Teena“

“Their tilapia fillet is excellent. Gyros is good. Best baklava. Staff are friendly, cordial, polite and professional. As soon as we walked in, they recognized us.“

“Going in with little knowledge on this restaurant, we had a great culinary experience. Food was innovative and freshly prepared and service (Mariah) on point. The small plates menu, as explained by our server, allowed us to sample many different dishes. We sampled the Oysters, Warm Sesame Pancakes, Salad, Crudo, Yellowfin Tuna over rice and Pork Belly and Octopus. Most "mindblowing" were the Oysters topped with Meyer Lemon Foam.“

“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!!“

“🎉 Just had an unforgettable evening at Ettan! Cozy vibes, top-notch service, and every dish was a masterpiece. 🍽 The chef's special? Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit. Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“An absolute gem for anyone craving authentic and flavorful South Asian cuisine. The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes you want to keep coming back.

Their Chapli Kabab is a standout—juicy, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Paired with their soft, fluffy plain naan, it’s a combo that hits the spot every time. You can tell they put real care into their recipes.

The service is friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. It gets packed, especially around lunch, but the food is always worth the wait.

Highly recommended for a casual meal that doesn’t compromise on taste.“

“Loved the food
The personnel were super friendly
The food was ready fast
The space is super beautiful and nice
We got chicken Tikka masala with rice and garlic naan

It was super delicious the portions aren't that big
The naan is fresh and hot very soft

We also got the burger with masala fries
It was good but similar to regular fries

We also got the mango yogurt drink which was super tasty

All the food is halal and not very spicy
The portions aren't that big though.“

“Great! I love this place. So good.“

“Mr Ralph Carico is the most skilled trader I've ever encountered, I will certainly advise everyone to utilize his service, He’s so wonderful Ralph Carico.“

“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 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!“

“Nina’s Cafe makes some of the best empanadas I’ve ever had—perfectly baked and packed with flavor. The lamb leg is a must-try: juicy, tender, and deeply satisfying.

What really makes this place special, though, are the owners, Nina and Paula. They’re warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind—it’s clear they care about both the food and their guests.

A cozy spot with fantastic food and even better people. Highly recommend.“

“Food: only ordered vegetarian food and everything was amazing. Falafel was probably the softest I have ever had so far and the mezze sampler was also quite good. I'll recommend starting off with sampler and ordering anything you like as a separate dip. Street fries were also good. They have unlimited tea and the mint lemonade was super refreshing.

Service: this place has minimal interaction with servers as every table has a QR code to order food and pay when you order.

Atmosphere: divided into 3 parts outdoor, indoor and patio. Indoors is bright with open kitchen and patio is dark with plants, string lights and heaters. Sat in patio and loved the vibe.“

“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 👏🏼🇺🇸“

“Charming Italian cafe near downtown San Mateo. Tucked away next to a bus stop on the busy El Camino Real, it’s a nice reprieve from the street traffic where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee with solid Italian food. Street parking is very hard to find, but there’s a paid parking lot across the street.“

“Ottimo cibo, servizio veloce, locale molto carino.“

“Love the environment, music, food, wine and staff….❤️❤️“

“Chef Marcus’ dishes are full of flavor & fresh ingredients that make for a spectacular culinary experience. 😋“

“Very tasty and reasonably priced food. The owner and chef Amir is an amazing guy who always makes you feel welcomed and is very dedicated towards his craft.“

“I had an amazing experience at Italico Restaurant! The food was fresh and flavorful, especially the truffle pasta and wood-fired pizza. The service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy yet modern. I’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of their delicious dishes. Highly recommend!“

“Cafe Zoë is an incredible little community space that serves delicious beverages, food and entertainment. Kathleen, Zoë and the staff are truly amazing and provide great service. They are community minded and love how they support the arts as well.“

“Ada’s is the best place for delicious food, friendly service and a real sense of community. On top of all that, it believes everyone can have meaningful employment and trains and offers wonderful work under the kind and generous care of founder Kathleen. It’s a community GEM!!“

“Amazing food and excellent service!“

“Always have 2 slices 1 is never enough. It’s that good..“

“Great place to have dinner, great service and the food is delish“

“Great people and great food. There’s events every night. So fun“

“Love love love. Fresh ingredients and healthy options that taste delicious. Had the tuna nori wrap which was good. Had better ones but this tasted good. Shout out to Hayes and Cesar for their warm hospitality. Hayes recommended the pineapple mint juice and gave me samples of others. Juice was refreshing and delish. Hayes hooked it up for 10% discount for first time customer which was super nice. Tipped it back and more of course. Cesar was super friendly and helpful, said they make their flat bread fresh daily made to order and that I should’ve tried that. Will next time. And he complimented me with a delicious chocolate fudge brownie which was yum! Nice chill ambiance, tall doors and ceiling which I liked—it allowed for plenty of fresh air to flow through. Glad I stopped by!“

“Unique and quirky flavors. Not always up my alley but always something new. Service is always lovely and patient with you while you taste test and decide on your flavors which is so appreciated! I know it probably can get annoying…But honestly with a $10 2 scoop cone, I want to enjoy the ice cream especially when the flavor combinations are so unusual

Vegetarian options: There are vegan options“

“First time here and it was so good Had steak sandwich and chicken strips. Get the hot one I liked the best. Fries were awesome.
The staff was amazing by giving us the strips in different spices for our first time.
Beer choices were decent and I had the Double breaking bud from knee deep, was amazing.
Small place but have places to sit outside.
Definitely a place to come for games too. 3 TV's and you can sit at the at too.
We parked around the corner but small parking area.
We will definitely be back.“

“Excellent, creative dishes! Good service!! 10 stars!!!“
