The Grill on San Mateo

good food, great people, everything seems hand made fresh.

We had burgers,they were ok. Now the salsa and chips were amazing, the service and atmosphere were amazing, it local so your money stays local. Lots to like.

Place was disgusting! I got mash potatoes and a salad both were gross. Then I decided to get ice cream n that was gross. When we walked in it smelled so bad. Then I went to the restroom and my boots were sticking to the floor. Would not recommend at all!!

We ate really pumped for the burger. It looked great! But the taste just wasn't there. Idk if there was a new cook or if they were out of seasoning? We want to try again, maybe in a couple of weeks. The chicken strips were good, but they didn't have gravy, only ranch. The photos of the steak looked amazing, so we want to try that, too. The restaurant could use a really through dusting!

First time here. Food; was super fresh, off the grill, love the condiments bar. Also enjoy the crisp chips and chilli near the condiments bar. Nice service, follow the stars and place your order. Wish they had menus through?. The only menu was on the wall near the cashier. Other than that, it's good. The atmosphere was nice. Open space, high ceilings, clean restrooms.

Overall, I was happy with the service, and the food was good. I got the 16oz ribeye, and it was cooked almost to perfection. The flavor was good, and the meat was tender. I wasn't impressed with the atmosphere, as it's starting to show its age. There were lots of little nicknacks and pictures on the wall from all branches of the military, some of which looked old and historic. So if that's your thing, then this place is for you. Counter service only, so don't expect table service, but the staff was friendly and there was live music. Good for the experience, but not something I would go to regularly.

Burger patties were tasteless, the garnish bar was boring a waste of money

First visit, a Saturday evening. Unexpected treat: live (and good) music! Complimentary self-serve chips & salsa while you wait for your entree. Beverages also self-serve. Western burger with onion rings, cheddar and BBQ sauce was darn good. Fries so-so, but a side of deep-fried shrooms was darn good (careful, very hot out of the frier). Sorry, dove into burger before c taking a photo. Left stuffed.

Had a great experience here, customer service was the best. Had 2 grouchy toddlers and they made us feel welcomed and even gave them some cookies. Food was delicious and the salsa they serve was very good. It’s like going back to grandmas and grandpas to eat.

I went for the first time last night. Interesting place. It could be great. There was a really good band. The staff is fabulous but there's no waiter service which is ok for lunch time but on a Friday date night it would have been nice to just sit down and be served. A wine and beer license would be good too! As for the atmosphere. Here's where it gets weird. Half the place has a nice arched wooden ceiling and warm lighting, while the other half (where the excellent band played) has a drop ceiling and harsh office like flourescent lighting. Anyway, the long and the short is I enjoyed the place and had a good grilled steak at a reasonable price, but I think the place could be really nice without much effort.

Vegetarian options: Its a small menu but my vegetarian girlfriend had a veggie burger that she said was better than most and a baked potato. She was happy

Service was good, atmosphere was fine, but food was disappointing. Ordered a cheeseburger, got a very dry, overcooked, flavorless burger, without the requested cheddar cheese. Won't be going back.
