Your run of the mill E Bar.... some items not so great some perfectly fine - I like the Shrimp spring rolls (non-fried kind). Their burrito, citrus salad, desserts and soups are all good.

Sit in the bar if you can and watch the planes!

Totally cute and food is good. Nothing is WOW inducing but the nice outdoor patio is great in the sun with some fresh breakfast. Order inside and they bring it to you.... can get packed so be prepared!

Wow, what a pleasant surprise... we finally got to try Rave Burger for lunch - there was only a few people in there but the food was great!!

I really enjoyed the pulled pork sliders (not too sweet) and buffalo chicken slider (perfect spiciness). My man LOVED the rave burger (which comes spicy) and did not share one bite of it.

Big full bar - I will definitely be back!

I LOVE this store - could spend so much time here!

I used to go to the Mountain View but I realized I there is one nearby my house in Burlingame - YAY!

So many cute clothing items and little funny gift items. I can never lose out when looking for gift ideas here - I'll be back THERAPY... look out for me!

Trivia Night here is AWESOME - it starts by 6:30 and is over in 3 hours!

Be warned - it is packed on Thursday Trivia nights - in general its a great big bar with lots of food options. However, the food is just ok - bar bites are basic. I recommend: Steak Salad, pot stickers, bruschetta and the DRINKS.

Good happy drink deals! $5 wine, $5 bar bites

AWESOME!!!

Open late, open weekends. Rarely a wait and line! This is my go-to post office from now on!

The only downside is that its hard to get to - I had to pull into the airport and loop around down McDonnell Rd... its WAY back past the freight areas.

Love the truck!  SOOOO happy the real restaurant is in downtown San Mateo!

Great little local with special touches making it a unique experience!

Try a burrito or a plate with the little compartments to try things - everything is flavorful and delicious!  If you have extra change get a mango lassi.

The stand outs are deconstructed samosa and the fries thingy.

No one else I have been with to this place really enjoyed their meal :(

However, I was very happy with the skillet meal both times - including 2 perfectly poached eggs. Maybe stick with the basics here don't attempt to get anything too fancy

It's sad because breakfast places in San Mateo are lacking....
