    We visited this place two times. Both times we got our food to go. The first time, we ordered a mushroom burger and French fries with chili con carne. We loved the burger, but we didn't like the fries. Not because there was anything wrong with the preparation, we just didn't enjoy the style. The second time, we ordered the same mushroom burger again, and I also got the teriyaki pineapple burger. This time we chose the garlic fries. Unfortunately, the second visit wasn't as enjoyable. My husband said the mushroom burger was pretty dry and not as good as the first time. As for the pineapple teriyaki burger, I might have had higher expectations, but I didn't feel any distinct flavors. It was kind of bland, and one of the buns was very wet and soggy, which wasn't pleasant. The garlic fries were okay, but as you can see in the picture, there was a lot of garlic piled on top. I wish it had been distributed more evenly, because grabbing fries along with chunks of garlic by hand isn't very comfortable. Overall, the prices are affordable, which is a plus. I'm giving this place four stars mainly because of the inconsistency between our two visits.

    We went inside since my son really wanted a burger. I really enjoy places that take care of kids. Their kids menu comes with juice or milk, and my 3yr really loved the milk with his burger (who could have guessed, right?) The salad that my wife ordered and my burger was ok. Nothing to complain, and nothing to brag either. Overall, it is a nice place.

    Cute atmosphere, they happen to have Halloween decorations up and it was fun to see! I tried their seasonal pumpkin milkshake!!! Soooo good, was enjoying the graham cracker crust flavor with pumpkin. I ordered a Single size Garlic fries.... I think I can fend off Vampires for a week there was so much garlic... I Loved it!!! Had the Bacon Burger, no cheese. Also delicious. Thick juicy patty and didn't skimp on the bacon! Might try to order grilled onions instead of a whole raw slab of red onion.

    The burger bowl was fantastic! Huge fresh salad with a burger and onion straws on top I barely put a dent in the salad It was so delicious and I'm so glad to find such a great no bun option!

    One of the best burger shops in the Bay with many locations. They have reasonable prices, not to mention their delicious milkshakes which are big enough to share as they fill up two containers. Their bacon burger and pineapple teriyaki burger are my favorites. The diner-like interior has booth seating and a good corner window seat. They have back patio seating and the restroom is oddly located through the kitchen. The staff are friendly and service is quick!

    Shrimp and chips

    I had lunch here with my spouse just before lunch rush started. I got the turkey melt with Swiss and a mint chocolate chip shake, spouse had the shrimp and chips. I could not have fries; I'm allergic to fish and seafood and they cook their fries in the same oil as the seafood - but I wouldn't have known that if we hadn't started to ask for my spouse's fries on the side due to my allergy; they don't post this fact anywhere. The turkey melt was good. The shake was basically extra, cold flavored milk - it was not frozen enough to really be a milkshake. My spouse reported the shrimp and fries were tasty but the cocktail sauce was watered down and pretty horrible. Staff were friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is diner-like, but you order at the counter then food is brought to your table.

    I've been coming here since ca it opened, however I've no been in a while. I was kinda disappointed this trip. They removed the station where you put your own toppings! Now you have to make a decision when you order! I was kinda disappointed as I love extra tomato and the pickles they had! No more pickles and just a few fries and onion rings! Nothing like before, burger was tasty but the experience was underwhelming to say the least especially for a Friday night!

    Tuna melt
    Lizelle P.

    Great diner for comfort food for the kids and to get the diner experience. Ordered the tuna melt, burgers, signature salad, sweet potato fries and garlic fries. Everything was tasty. We got the booth which was great for our party of 8. The smell of grease inside the restaurant can get overwhelming after a while. And the temp was really warm inside. We had to ask for them to leave a door ajar.

    Chocolate milkshake
    Ben L.

    Everything is great here. Old style diner with classic food. The prices are a little high would be my only concern- $42 for two burgers, fries, one drink and a milkshake - In N out is much affordable and comparable but it's all good either way. The best item for me is the old style milkshakes served in the cold metal container!

    Large Garlic fries

    Restaurant appeared as a typical diner . Dining room was clean and not crowded. Employee behind the counter was polite and friendly. Server and cooks appeared to be very busy. We walked in and did not have to wait long before placing our order with the cashier. We ordered several items on the menu and the food was served shortly after we sat down at our table. I had the" burger bowl." It was a juicy beef patty cooked perfectly (requested medium) served over a generous fresh garden salad , topped with french fried onions- very tasty! My companions ordered a patty melt and a turkey melt which they also enjoyed. Together we all sampled the fish n chips , chili cheese fries and garlic fries- everything was good but the fish n chips were the standout!

    Tuna melt on rye
    Ranjan P.

    Soft spot for diners, and if they have red padded seats and booths Ala 50's, miniature cars on the walls, old fashioned vintage yesteryear vibe, everyone slinging grub behind the counter, stools warm and friendly welcoming vibe ... love love love. Not to mention they have all manners of breads you'd want, e.g. is there any other bread for a tuna melt than rye? Nope. Nice and crispy with French fries with a perfect medium cut, not stupid shoestrings or skinny, and not wedge cuts, just your average fries. The real thing that brought it home for me? They have British malt vinegar bottles! I cannot eat fries without vinegar, and boom! The prices are fair, menu on the board, a classic walk-in diner type place.

    Pineapple Teriyaki Burger
    Steffan A.

    Can't believe I haven't reviewed a San Mateo staple! This has been here forever. I came here after I graduated from Aragon which was a whiiiiile ago. Safe to say the quality of the burgers never changed! I went with a patty melt with pepperjack cheese and mushrooms which was surprisingly filling. I asked for medium rare but got medium instead which is no big deal but I like my burgers a little more pink on the outside. Flavors of the burger are always on point. I'd say the patty size is about 6 oz of ground beef. Probably use 80/20 but if the owner responds to this review, you can correct me if I'm wrong! Everything is cooked to order. Sweet potato fries WITH the spicy aji sauce was the highlight of the meal. My wife and I LOVED the aji sauce, we wanted to order a bottle of it but not sure if that's sold separately. I was told that the sauce was made in-house! Perfect amount of kick. It was like an avocado crema kinda? Hard to describe, really good on the fries and burger. My wife scarfed down her pineapple teriyaki burger in less than 5 min, a testament to how great the burger was. And how hungry she was lol. I didn't get a milkshake this time around, but from what I can remember, their milkshakes are bomb too. Wasn't too busy on a Sunday afternoon. They have a covered outdoor seating area in the back. There is one bathroom located through the kitchen behind the dishwashing station. No garbages to throw anything away, just leave finished meal on table and it'll be bussed accordingly. Looking forward to coming back!

The shredded chicken and the broth were wonderful, I do wish it had less tortilla strips because they soaked up all the broth if left there for too long. I got the California bagel, which was also delicious. It was a little too much egg for my liking, but the bagel was only $12 which I think is decent for what I got. The Strawberry croissant was TO DIE FOR. I have never enjoyed a croissant as much as this one. Fresh strawberry cream inside, super fluffy and crispy croissant overall. LOVE! Not to mention the cafe is very chic, we sat at a table where we could maximize our sunlight exposure. The servers and cashiers were nice, welcoming, and helpful. So glad we came here!

What we ordered: Prosciutto Di Parma Arugula Pizza (+ burrata) = 100000/10 FOOD: 9/10 Served hot, fresh, and made to order, this pizza truly hit the spot. The crust had those delicious wood-fired charred bits and was the perfect thickness, not too thin, not too thick. The burrata (worth the extra charge!) was rich and creamy, while the arugula added the perfect fresh, crunchy bite. Every ingredient worked so well together. I'm literally salivating as I type this!

The large windows let in so much natural light that it's an even better place to sit back and enjoy a meal. I'd happily come back the next time I'm in the area.

The train was coming every 20 minutes or so, and it was very loud. Our party ordered the following: Pizzas - Margherita Pizza (4/5) - Prosciutto Pizza (5/5) - Beef Back Rib and Arugula Pizza (5/5) Sides - Mashed Potatoes (3/5) - Mac and Cheese (5/5) - Cornbread (3.5/5) - Arugula Salad (3/5) - Lemony Garlic Linguine with Prawns (5/5) The pizzas were served hot and fresh. Nice char on the crust, and not super doughy. For our Margherita Pizza specifically, it was a bit soggy/ floppy making it really hard to grab and eat. Other than that, the flavor was there. Might have been a one time thing, but would recommend getting this well done just in case. Of the 3 we ordered, the Beef Back Rib Pizza was my favorite! Great combination of flavors that complemented each other. Mashed Potatoes: A little too dry for my liking. Would recommend adding some black pepper to it. Mac and Cheese: Definitely hit the spot! It was nice and creamy, would definitely order it again! Jalapeno Cornbread: An interesting combination that just wasn't for me. If I come back, I may try it again to see if it grows on me. It was also on the drier side. Arugula Salad: There was A LOT of Parmesan cheese in the salad. I like parmesan, but this was pretty overwhelming. Lemony Garlic Linguine with Prawns: One of the best sides that we got. Noodles had a good chew to them, with a nice zest from the lemons. Very flavorful!

Ordering via their form online was simple and easy and I received plenty of communication leading up to the pickup on where/when to pickup and who to contact for any changes or concerns. The pickup spot in San Mateo is a ghost kitchen setup, and parking was a little difficult (I got dropped off while my ride circled around). Once inside, there are a few tablets as well as doorbells labeled with different businesses. I pressed the one labeled for the backhouse and got our order at the door after waiting for a few minutes - there do also seem to be a lot of people picking up delivery service orders and generally seems to be confusing for the other businesses in the same space but I was able to get in and out pretty quickly. Onto the sushi - everything was delicious and they were kind enough to give us 3 of everything as I had requested to make it easier to split between our party of 3 which I really appreciate. The rice was nicely seasoned and not over or undercooked, and the standout has to be the uni. I really liked the asortment of fish/topping combinations and felt like there was a good mix of unique offerings and classics but the one thing I wished we had was some kind of guide or lost of what the fish we had were so I could better appreciate what I was eating. Overall, I'm glad I finally got to try the Backhouse and it was definitely tasty and a convenient way to enjoy some really high quality fish, but I think personally I prefer having the fish in a way where I can know more about what I'm eating to really enjoy the meal :)
