    Great food, great service. Lamb kebab is my favorite so far but everything was good. Don't forget to add ayran to your order

    Really good authentic street food style Turkish food. Clean, seating available. Both the Adana kebab and liver kebab were good

    I probably owe one of my favorite places in the bay a good review after eating their BBQ for this…read morelong. Many years ago, I was a new transplant from Houston and discovered their food truck at a long-dead Off the Grid event, and now they have their excellent beer garden a couple blocks off the beaten path in Redwood City. The brisket is definitely the star attraction for me, but their other meats are also excellent, and I like the fried brussels sprouts they've added to the menu recently. The bar in the back has a good spread of beers to wash it down, the TVs and live music provide the entertainment, and it's all served by a friendly crew. It's like going to a party at a friend's house who's obsessive about Texas BBQ, and I hope I'll keep getting invited back.

    My first time at Capelo's was a bit of a miss, but I was eager to give them a second chance.

The vibe was casual, with a large (dog-friendly) patio and live music. I got my Beef Brisket with two sides (Mac & Cheese and Brussel Sprouts), as well as a cornbread muffin. The Brisket was everything I wanted it to be! I especially loved the chopped pieces (burnt ends?), which were so soft and flavorful. Their thick BBQ sauce was also very nice. The Mac & Cheese was solid - not the best of my life, but still very tasty. The Brussel Sprouts were a little less memorable, but I enjoyed the cornbread muffin. The bar had a good selection of non-alc beer and all the staff members we interacted with were kind and happy. Overall, Capelo's Barbecue knows what they're doing!

There are TVs available for our sports lovers. There is another room for live entertainment and additional seating. I love hanging out in their outdoor patio! You most certainly can purchase beer in a can on site. You can always catch different food trucks that room through here from Mexican cuisine to simple, yet, delicious Smashed Burger and fries to pair with your brew. The staff are always so cheerful and friendly! Support your local business!

Great beers and tap tenders. Outside food is allowed but we also enjoyed the food truck that was there. Private space was perfect and we had our own bathroom! Clutch. We also had access to their prep space including a fridge which was helpful as we setup. I loved the private space but still access to the hub bub of the bar. The beers are always dank and we had fun doing flights of tastings! Alex, Brad and his staff make this a wonderful community space. My friend is actually inspired to host their fundraiser there too!

It also does get pretty busy so definitely look to call or get on that waitlist ahead of time. Food was served pretty quickly and thoroughly cooked. So yummy.

Overall, Dynasty BBQ has some delicious food.

I came with a friend and got seated immediately. In terms of service, there wasn't too much interaction with the staff since you order via QR code, but they will come over and put your receipt on the surface of the table and check off your items as they bring them out. Initially, my friend and I thought they grilled the skewers on the plate at the table; however, it comes pre-cooked and grilled, and the plate itself is there to keep your food warm. I looked under, and it's "powered" by a bunch of tea candles. Between both of us, we ordered some skewers of enoki mushrooms (which was my favorite, super tender and flavorful), some beef skewers, a beef skewer with lychee (super unique), beef tongue (a bit tough for my liking), and chicken skin (extremely crispy, somewhat hard to pull off the skewer). I want to call out again the beef with lychee since this was an item I do not see often. It was interesting because the beef was seasoned well and when combined with the lychee, it added a refreshing note; however, the lychee's textural profile was similar to fatty beef, which personally threw me off a bit as someone who tends not to like fatty cuts (if you are a fan though, you'll like this). Overall, this spot is an okay place to check out if you're in the area. Parking in this area of San Mateo is limited, but the restaurant itself has a lot of tables, so it can be good for bigger parties.

    Long wait time…read more 3/22/25 I came here for lunch with a group of 10. We sat outside on the patio since I brought my dog Coco. The grillhouse is located in a plaza off Redwood Shores Parkway. Parking was very easy to find. Here's what I got: GH shrimp po boy with seasoned fries I will say that it did take a while for everyone to decide on what to order since they were 10 of us. And I think because since we were a bigger party, our food took 30 minutes to come out. I think my sandwich overall was just OK. The bread was kind of hard and the shrimp could have been seasoned better. The seasoned fries were the star of the plate. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing that day, but I'm willing to give them another try.

    Had an event in Redwood Shores and saw The Grilled House which I had to try. Saw the great reviews…read moreit had and was known for burgers which is one of the best in the Bay Area. Upon walking in there was private event going on, so I had to sit outside which was ok. I was very hungry so I ordered the Hickory Burger and the grilled buffalo wings after a recommendation made by the waitress. Hickory Burger: Surprised it was small and very disappointing. The bacon was overcooked and dry which I should have taken a picture of. The bun used was a sesame seed bun and made a mess every time I grabbed the burger from the seeds on the bun. The burger comes with bbq sauce on it but I chose to add it on the side. The seasoned fries sounded great but was really salty and was one of the worst fries I've had in a while. I had ranch dipping sauce so I dipped there many times to combat the over power seasoning. It did the job to fill my stomach, but I wasn't satisfied. Overall I don't know if this is place I'd go out of my way to come to again.
