11 Best American Restaurants in Burlingame

“BG is a gorgeous restaurant, with well prepared food, and live music/jazz, most days of the week. Owners are very personable and hands-on, which is rare, amongst restaurants. Great place for special occasions or just a night out with your favorite person/people. Share a great experience, without a shocking price tag!“

“Awesome shakes and heavenly garlic fries 👍“

“Not many restaurants open at 7 am, so I just chose Neal's. First time I have been asked if I wanted my corned beef hash and hash browns crispy. Usually I would mention it when ordering.

I prefer the corned beef beef bits a little bigger, but at least it didn't have a disproportionate amount of potatoes. The corned beef hash and the hash browns came very crispy, potato chip crispy. 😋

Lots of regulars here. The waitress knew some of the names.“

“On a brisk Monday morning, my partner and I were looking for a quick breakfast while waiting for cere tea to open for the day. We ended up heading over to stacks for a quick bite and it did not disappoint,. It wasn’t super busy so we sat down right away and ordered the all meat omelet. After a short wait we got our food from the kitchen and it was delicious.Additionally, the vibe is very vintage and it has a real old school feel. Excellent service and classic food can never go wrong.“

“Tonight, after a long and tiring day at work, I visited Society Restaurant & Hookah Lounge to relax—and it was the perfect choice. The place is beautiful, calming, and has such a great vibe with relaxing music. The staff were amazing: very kind, welcoming, and truly hospitable. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating; I personally love sitting outside, but since it was raining, I chose to sit inside and still had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend their kanafa and tea—they were incredibly delicious. This is a perfect spot to unwind, relax, and enjoy quality time. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Huge shout out to Christie’s. This place has that true family owned, tight knit restaurant vibe that’s getting harder and harder to find. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care and pride behind everything they do. The freshly squeezed orange juice is unreal bright, fresh, and exactly how it should be.

And the chicken fried steak… wow. Perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and smothered just right it’s straight fire. This is comfort food done right, the kind that hits every note and leaves you already planning your next visit. The portions are generous, the flavors are spot on, and the quality is consistent.

They’re also dog friendly, which makes it an even better neighborhood spot for locals. What really sets Christie’s apart though is the people friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to serve their community. It feels like a place where regulars are family and new faces are treated the same way. If you’re looking for great food, honest flavors, and that classic neighborhood restaurant energy, Christie’s is a gem in Burlingame that absolutely deserves the love.“
