Haha…read more The diner vibe has been beckoning to the nostalgic part of me as I grow with my kids so give them the same experience. I love this location way more than Menlo Park. I'm bummed they took away the options to add your own produce as I didn't like that option pre covid (tastes and opinions have changed). The burger bowl with the ahi sauce is so filling and delicious. I wish they sold that sauce separately so I can put on my breakfast. Seriously consider it, I'd buy it by the bottle. The kids really enjoyed the kid menu and seating. I'm surprised the patty sizes of the burgers were big and seasoned just enough. I'll definitely be back.

Amazing food and ambiance!…read more Came here for lunch and really enjoyed it. It has a retro vibe, which I feel is pretty rare for the Bay Area. It was super empty when I arrived (late 11am ish) but it picked up really fast. There's tons of seating inside, including at the counter. The staff is also great and the food came out super fast. The food was really good. I'm quite picky about my burgers, and theirs was amazing. The meat is tender and flavorful, the bun is soft, and the dressing compliments everything well. In addition, I got a milkshake and chili cheese fries. The milkshake felt like 3 servings, so there's definitely a ton of value. I thought I under ordered, but the portions were so big that I had to take it to go. I'd recommend this place and I'll definitely be going again!

The restaurant was somewhat busy when we got there. We waited for a few minutes before the host came by and told us we have our pick of tables. Menus were already on the table when we sat down. Here's what we got: - Soprano chicken with salad (mine) - Outlaw burger with onion rings (his) The burgers were pretty tasty. My chicken burger wasn't dry and the salad that accompanied it was refreshing. Zach said he liked his burger and the onion rings. Service wasn't that memorable, no one checked in on us except towards the end when we asked to check out. It was fine since we noticed that more customers were coming in. If you're craving a solid burger place, Maverick Jack's got your back.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. The ambiance was great and I was surprised that it…read morewasn't too busy on a Friday afternoon. I ordered the Maverick classic burger with American cheese and a side salad. It tasted fresh and I finished all my food since I was pretty hungry. Like two hours later my stomach felt really sick like my intestines were twisting inside of me. The pain was excruciating and lasted for a couple of hours and all I could think of was maybe I got "food poisoning." Most likely the food poisoning came from the bad ground beef or cheese. Unfortunately, since it was my first time and the experience I received, I will not be returning to this restaurant. First impression is everything and this place didn't meet that expectation! To reply to the owners response not true. It does not take 8 hrs for someone to experience food poisoning. Before you reply to a customer comment, please do your research first! I've included in my pics below that food poisoning symptoms can be experienced within hours of eating bad food!

I go to this Super Duper location for lunch often when I am in the area and enjoy the quality of…read moretheir burgers. Although Super Duper is considered a fast food burger joint, its burgers are definitely a step up from McDonald's and Habit but probably on par with Five Guys minus the loads of toppings included. The burgers and sandwiches have never taken more than ten minutes to prepare but I usually order ahead when I am in a hurry. For this recent visit I ordered their B.E.C. Burger on their kiosk for dine in. While waiting, I was able to self serve my own water and pickles are available by the drinks. My burger was ready in about five minutes and I thought it was a nice gesture to arrange the Super sauce as a smiley face on the inside top bun (I found out this is the norm and nothing out of the ordinary for this burger). The 1/4 pound burger was a good size with the added bacon, fried egg, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, and Super sauce. The egg obviously got a little runny and messy but good thing paper towels are readily available. Aside from their burgers, Super Duper has a very good fried chicken sandwich. The fries are just okay to me and I have not tried any of their sweet offerings. This location usually has music playing inside and the staff is generally nice and helpful, going around to each table asking how the diners' experiences are. The tables are cleaned promptly after each use. I've always had a positive experience at this Super Duper.

We got the super burger with a fried egg + the Poblano burger with a lettuce wrap…read more The super burger was really good and I'd recommend everyone to get it. The poblano burger is the weekly special but wasn't really flavorful. This was my first time trying the lettuce wrap and it wasn't my favorite (I usually love the In n Out protein burger but I'm not a fan of the lettuce they used here). I would just order the super burger with the regular bun the next time I come. We also ordered the weekly special milkshake which was Mango with Tajin flavored and that was really good! I'd get that again for sure. You order at a kiosk machine, so no tip is needed. The food came out pretty quickly, and there's a jar of pickles in the side which I'm a big fan of. This is a casual place, lots of seating, great for a quick but satisfying bite.

OK fries. By no means comparable to Potato Corner, but will get the job done if you're craving some…read morehot fries while roaming downtown SM. There is a second floor, so plenty of seating. This time I tried their chili BBQ and asked for it to be extra seasoned. I wasn't sure if they were actually extra seasoned though, tbh. And while the fries were piping hot and fresh, they fell short on the crispiness. They were just hot and soft? I've also gotten the seaweed flavor before, and I can't quite put my finger on it, but I'm just not too fond of their seasonings for some reason.

Cool fries, potato guys…read more If you haven't guessed, they specialize in fries. They took over C Food Crush, which used to be San Mateo's only cajun boil place. It's a little odd for a french fry place to have a spacious area, as there's an entire seating area upstairs (so great for hangouts). There's also tables outside, but no seating on the first floor. They also do burgers and other fried snacks. Wish they still had soft serve, but it's discontinued. For their made-to-order crispy fries, you pick either regular or large, the style of fries, and then the flavor/seasoning. Just pick whatever you like best; you can do half and half flavors. Cajun is solid, similar to the cajun fries at any seafood boil place. Seaweed pepper salt is exactly like the Calbee seaweed potato chips - subtly sweet and umami. The garlic + parm flavor was a bit too thick and strong on the parm for me. Large is definitely worth sharing, though you can share regular, too, if you're okay with snack portions. They stack the fries high in the cup! Their chicken sandwich tastes like an upgraded McChicken, and their other fried items are just okay. I'd go here exclusively for the fries unless you want to junk out, as the prices are pretty reasonable. Because items are made to order, it will take at least 5 minutes to get your order unless you're the only customer, so don't expect fast food speed.

One of the best burgers in the peninsula comes from a simple food truck that is just parked on a…read morerandom curb on El Camino. This food truck serves burgers, tacos, and quesadillas, pretty much a microcosm of what people usually eat in the Bay Area -- and what is actually missing in Millbrae because of the concentration of Asian food. It's also quite a high tech food truck, where you order via a giant touch screen. The folks who work the truck are nice, the only downside is that you can't eat the food right there, so it's always a bit cold by the time I get home. The food usually hits the spot, so I can only imagine if I could have it fresh off the grill! The competition between food trucks is pretty high here, so I'm not surprised by the caliber of the food at this truck. It's just such a curious location.
