This review is probably long overdue, but I'm a regular at Redwood Grill for lunch, and it's become…read moreone of my favorite local spots. My go-to is the goat & greens salad with salmon--it's consistently fresh, delicious, and well-prepared. In fact, I've never had a meal here that disappointed me. What really sets Redwood Grill apart, though, is the service. I'd like to give a special shout-out to Carlos, Isidro, and Aaron. They always make me feel welcome, take exceptional care of me, and consistently provide friendly, attentive service. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. If you're looking for great food paired with outstanding service, I highly recommend giving Redwood Grill a try.

Beer Campaign…read more Locally-owned brew pub that was formerly just a tasting room before beginning food operations sometime during Covid. We arrived starving after a long hike at nearby Corte de Madera, and were craving some comfort food and beer to appease our appetites, and Ghostwood hit the spot! The Good: * Street, lot, and garage parking available, but more on that later. * Outdoor dog-friendly seating * Game room in the back with pool, pinball, and other forms of entertainment. * 50% off all drinks Fri & Sat night from 9 p.m. until closing. * Happy Hour Mon - Fri 4 p.m. - 6 p.m. * QR code menu ordering and payment through Toast, which is our favorite. * Service was friendly and efficient. * Fresh housemade beers and full complement of spirits and mixed drinks. * Chicken Tacos were a pleasant surprise, as they were delicious and packed with chicken and toppings. * Redwood Rodeo Burger was an outstanding smashburger! So much flavor and the meat-to-toppings-to-bread ratio was perfect. Definitely hit the spot! * Special big ups to the Beef Tallow Fries that were crispy and just fantastic. The Meh: * It is a family-friendly establishment, so prepare for unsupervised kids running amok in the game room while the parents get plastered. -_- * I thought the Fried Pickles were pretty good, but Carissa felt like they needed more batter or something. The Ugly: * Downtown Redwood City can be extremely popular, especially on weekends, so parking can be a real hassle. I'd recommend finding the Jefferson Avenue Garage which gives you the first two hours for free. Conclusion: Come for the beer but stay for the food. Highly recommended.

We came to Ghostwood Kitchen few weekends ago and had a relaxing time! It was fun for the little…read morekids to walk around and play arcade games. We were a table for 10 so we got the space in the arcade room which was perfect for us! I like that we can order through their QR code website and we don't have to worry about splitting the bill. My husband and I ordered the Ghostwood Smash Burger! Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of it but the patty was super juicy and delicious! Also ordered a side of salad which was decent. Overall service was great and servers were very attentive. Definitely would love to come back again to try other things on the menu!

Never really got to try this place until recently. People have told me we went to the SJ one but I…read morereally don't remember, sad it closed. Now I gotta drive either to RWC or SL to get this fix. Saturdays are Prime Rib nights and that's what you want to get. My first visit though was on some random weekday when I was in town and really didn't know what to order. I ended up getting a Pastrami sandwich because I saw they hand carve their meats, and I have been craving something as close to Katz Deli in NYC as possible. It's definitely not as good but it was decent. I came back for Prime Rib on Saturday and that was a massive hit. Honestly the best Prime Rib under $30 in the area, and I've tried several. Line can be long, ended up waiting 35 minutes. The line system can be optimized, but it is what it is. Love the condiments at the table, they use Beaver branded everything. From strong horse radish that'll make your nasals burn and your tear ducts flow, to whole grain deli mustard (which is my favorite kind of mustard), perfect for sandwiches.

I visited Harry's Hofbrau on July 20, 2026, expecting a simple dinner, but I left disappointed by…read morethe customer service. Unfortunately, this is not the first time I've experienced poor treatment from the older cook with the mustache who works on the right side of the serving line, but it will likely be my last visit while he is working there. My wife and I entered hungry and ordered a roast beef sandwich. She ordered before I did, and while we were moving down the serving line, I heard this employee repeatedly raise his voice at my wife, telling her several times in succession to "bring your tray." The woman working behind the line even looked over at me, and we exchanged a glance that seemed to acknowledge how inappropriate his tone was toward a customer. When it came time to prepare my sandwich, another cook sliced the roast beef. The sandwich looked noticeably light on meat compared to what I've consistently received during previous visits. I politely asked if they could add one more slice. Before anyone else could respond, the older cook loudly said, "Four ounces of meat per sandwich only," repeating it twice. The sandwich was still open, and it was obvious it could have used another slice, but after being spoken to that way, I simply dropped the issue. By that point, my appetite was gone. I became quiet, sat down at our table, and found myself writing this review instead of enjoying dinner. I came in hungry and left upset. What makes this especially disappointing is that I visited just last week when a different cook was working--perhaps this employee's day off. That experience was excellent. The food was good, the portions were appropriate, and the customer service was friendly and welcoming. I understand that restaurants have portion standards, and I wasn't looking for free food. My issue was never the policy--it was the way my wife and I were spoken to. A little courtesy and professionalism go a long way. Sadly, I probably won't return while this employee continues treating customers this way. I hope management addresses the issue because Harry's Hofbrau has always been a place I've enjoyed, and I'd rather remember it for its great food than for an unpleasant experience.

Here's a clean, polished 5-star review you can post right away:…read moreWoodside Roadhouse was a great find. I had the Roadhouse burger, and it hit all the right notes -- great texture, solid taste, and simple flavors done really well. The fries were cooked perfectly and had just the right, refreshing level of seasoning. The drink selection is limited, but the Mexican Coke paired perfectly with the burger, so no complaints there. The space itself is small, simple, and clean, and I really enjoyed the Roadhouse movie theme and the license plates lining the walls -- fun touches that give the place character without feeling overdone. Straightforward food, done right, in a cool, no-frills spot. Would absolutely come back.

I tried shoving it into my mouth with my hands and no dice, tried cutting it in half, no dice, ended up just knife and fork it but even then it just crumbled away. I would have either a less fluffy bread or less ingredients. Anyways, delicious for sure, even though I alternated meat bites with veggie bites. The drinks can be a hit or miss, Adore was a hit, the bubble gum one a miss. Staff was indiferent and not very attentive. Would give it a 3.5.

One thing that stood out during this visit was the incredible teamwork. Every employee was constantly moving, helping guests, and supporting one another. At one point, a server who wasn't even ours noticed that the sun had shifted and was shining directly in my face. She immediately offered to move us to a different table, which we really appreciated. We also noticed the manager walking the dining room, checking in with guests and making sure everything was going well. It was refreshing to see such a hands-on approach. Our appetizers took a little longer than expected, which honestly didn't bother us--we hadn't even noticed. But the manager did. He came over to sincerely apologize, brought us an additional appetizer, and even insisted on taking care of part of our bill. It was such a thoughtful gesture. When the food arrived, it was excellent, just as we've come to expect. Our waiter was fantastic as well. The customer service here is every bit as impressive as the food. We'll definitely continue coming back. Town consistently delivers an outstanding dining experience, and we highly recommend it.

Okay, so I've been going to Town since they opened. Actually since it was A Tavola and they had a…read morefire and it reopened as Town. My kids grew up here and we've always made it our Go To special meal place in San Carlos. My office has had more than one Holiday functions upstairs in their private dinning room. Is it safe to say we are acquainted with Town? So, today I decided to have lunch at the bar and watch the World Cup and my absolute pet peeve occurred..I was completely ignored. Obviously it wasn't THAT busy because I got one of a few open bar stools. There were two people behind the bar..one was the manager! I'm certain of that because he was acquainted with the guy right next to me..and they had a pleasant conversation. Meanwhile...crickets on my side of the one inch divide. Okay..I know I'm whining...but I was there for 10-15 minutes and I wasn't even acknowledged. No water, no hello, no questions. All the while tons of service a foot from me and the MANAGER there acting like I don't exist. Again...I know, small potatoes. I left and went to Pranzi and had a great salad and watched the game with staff that was happy to welcome me. It just further solidified the impression that the Town people think they walk on water and are impervious to any formerly normal customer services. Like serving food and greeting people. It obviously bugs me.

June 2026 -- Santa Clara, CA Beer, Brats, Bladder Strategy…read more Pretty fun place. Good food. Great place to watch a World Cup soccer game. One word of warning: arrive with an empty bladder and a working relationship with patience, because the restroom line moves like it is being reviewed by a committee. Das Bierhauz is located right next to the VTA and Caltrain station, which makes it a very practical stop before heading to a game at Levi's Stadium. There is shaded outdoor seating and indoor seating, but this place fills up fast. Do not show up late and expect the universe to hand you a table. The universe has other appointments. The beer selection is very good. We got there around 6 PM before the Austria vs. Jordan World Cup match, and the stouts were already sold out. That tells you two things: people know what they are doing here, and you may need to move with purpose. Order the huge 20 oz glass if you want to have fun. It is not subtle. It announces itself. Food-wise, the combination appetizer is a strong move for a group of three or four. It comes with hummus, crushed eggplant, olives, a cucumber-yogurt-style dip, and other Mediterranean support staff. For the main dish, I recommend the veal knockwurst with fries. It was simple, filling, and did its job without trying to explain itself. The ordering system is where things get a little loose. Seating is basically self-directed, which means the bold inherit the tables. The line to order can feel scattered, although the menu is clearly posted above the cashier. You order, pay, receive one of those coaster number things, then sit down and trust that civilization will continue. To their credit, the staff found us with the beer and food without incident. There were TVs everywhere showing Argentina vs. Algeria, and with the international crowd in the room, the energy was like getting electrocuted by friendly aliens experimenting on how to make adrenaline surges in the body lightning fast. Loud, lively, and just the right amount of chaotic. Overall, I would give Das Bierhauz a 4 out of 5. I would not want to be here when it is absolutely packed, mostly because the queue system could become chaotic like a school of fish in a class on how to properly get into an auto accident. That said, the staff were reliable, the food was good, the beer was strong, and the location is hard to beat before a game.

It's so soft and with the butter melting on it it's just the perfect texture and a little sweet. I could eat a whole loaf of this. Must get. The sesame pancakes reminded me of a chinese dish. The avocado and salmon dip was interesting! I didn't expect that. It took some getting used to. The yellowfin rice was good, though raw fish being warm is a little weird to me. I don't think this is a must get. I liked the flavors otherwise. The octopus was one of my favorites. I loved the sauce for it and the jalapeños were a nice touch! The pork chop was one of my favorites as well!! I love how it was experimented with peaches; I'd never think to try those together but it works. The short rib steak was amazing! It's suuuper tender and I'm still thinking about it. Though I probably wouldn't eat it with the green beans; it didn't seem to go well together but it did with the mushrooms. The service is great here; they even took a napkin that was hung on my chair and folded it neatly onto the table again. I wish the portion sizes were bigger here overall, when you share with four people you're only getting like a bite each and for the prices even though it's a fancier place I'd expect to get a litttleee more (i've seen other fancy places have bigger sizes)
