Ben PickeringApril 19, 2015Visited from London and was exactly what I was looking for as an ‘American diner’ experience. Food and service was excellent, and the place itself had a great atmosphere.
Best diner-esque breakfast place in San Mateo / Burlingame! Charming retro ambiance where they have a functional penny gumball machine, lots of comfortable seating, and a lovely outdoor patio. Tasty!
Robert BerrisJune 15, 2015The Teriyaki steak and eggs is all you need to know. The steak is as long as the plate - quite frankly you could use three eggs. The potatoes are forgettable, but seriously the steak & eggs is gold.
- Wonderful place to get breakfast. They'll make you just about anything, even if it's off the menu, and take an "extra this, extra that, extra charge" approach!
Rose PuntilloDecember 4, 2016Everything is good here, but I prefer to pick from their Specials menu. It is worth the wait!!!!
- Just tried the Salmon Scramble for the first time. Delicious. So far I haven't had a bad dish here, and he the soups are amazing.
Annie WangDecember 4, 2014Great place to grab a bite before the airport. Nini is famous for its teriyaki steak and eggs with house fries (ask for extra crispy)
- Nedrra LanakilaDecember 3, 2015Everything I've ever ordered over the last 7 years has been really good.
Erin SheehanApril 3, 2016Loved the food and atmosphere and the staff was very thoughtful and accommodating! Unfortunately, parking is a big problem because the restaurant doesn't have a designated parking lot.
Matt SchafferMarch 24, 2013Don't come here if you're in a big rush. The line can be long, but worth the wait. This is the last of the home style diners. Fill up on coffee and try the numbered specials.
Paul HarrisApril 15, 2018It's a good breakfast, good service, good selection, the place has character. But nothing over the top such as specialty sausage, secret recipe dishes, a specialized bloody Mary.
Alden CatesApril 6, 2018Sausage patty is NOT hard and tough as you’re used to, easy to cut and well seasoned. Though the spicy isn’t as hot as you’d expect.- Bassam SweissAugust 29, 2019It was an amazing breakfast, I had the Italian omelette (original) it was delicious 👌🏼👌🏼
Rebeca GarciaJuly 10, 2018Super good breakfast food! Great atmosphere and service and the mimosas were yummy
Corinne and JonathanAugust 13, 2011Try to stop by this awesome coffee shop after you land or before you arrive (and you can try In-N-Out at the same time!). Hidden gem a few minutes away from the airport.- Jeff RiveraMay 19, 2015As a coffee lover, I won't settle for gimmicks and false advertisement. For me, this one has my vote. Great coffees, great staffs.
Crystal AdamsMay 30, 2011Great hometown diner, like how they have coffee while you wait. Portions are huge, one meal can easily feed two people. The bacon/avocado/tomato/cheese omelet is amazing!
Anastasia ConradJuly 4, 2013They have a great patio and services rocks. Breakfast and lunch open till 3pm.
Jason CalacanisOctober 27, 2017Amazing breakfast, quick service, fair prices... street parking can take 5 minutes.
Ricky SherrillJuly 19, 2018Nini's checks all my boxes on what a great breakfast spot needs. Good food, good service, & good coffee.
Clive McNabbDecember 16, 2019A little gem of a find. Staff are attentive and the food is wholesome and fresh.- JRs omelette with added mushrooms and peppers is delicious. Great service, awesome vibe.
- Taylor LeeSeptember 21, 2018This breakfast spot is known for its Teriyaki Steak and Eggs! Also try their Biscuits and Gravy.
Alex IdzalDecember 25, 2014The French toast is out of this world. Always one of my favorite places to stop by when I'm home from uni!
Edward SembranoFebruary 20, 2011If you love a small diner-style place to eat, come here. Try the special "Teriyaki Steak and Eggs" if you can. Sounds weird, but don't knock it till you try it.
Donna MeadOctober 30, 2015Nestled in the Burlingame neighborhood this quaint place has become my favorite breakfast place. AWESOME SERVICE!!!- Brett RiveraMay 26, 2015I wish they would have more branches near our town. I'm a number one fan of their coffees and blends.
This place is awesome! Service was great and the food was super fresh (for diner style)!
- Two types of pancake styles - thick and fluffy or thin Swedish style. Both are satisfying!
Matt GentileAugust 8, 2013Number one in san mateo...and for good reason. Out of the way, but awesome breakfast!
Fantastic local diner with friendly waitresses and amazing food! You gotta try Katie's Favorite Breakfast Sandwich! Read more
Request the patio. Always worth the extra 10-minutes of wait time.
- DaneDecember 7, 2011Teriyaki Steak Plater w Mashed, Gravy & veggies are the Bomb. Bring your appetite!!
- Highly recommend the Greek Omelette. Add spinach and you're golden.
