    Soprano's Ultimate Burger
    Chantel M.

    I'm always in search of the perfect burger, and the raving reviews really got me intrigued to come try it! I also really like supporting local businesses. This place is a tiny burger place in San Carlos that was super duper busy! To be fair, the place is quite small and crowded with street parking only. When you first walk in, don't be alarmed if you're bumping into others while going to the host desk. Fortunately, for my bf and I, we were seated within 10 minutes, even with the crowds. I will say, the table we were at was centered inside the place and the table was oriented differently than the others. This made it difficult for other diners and servers around us to walk. After ordering our food, it took about 15-20 minutes for our burgers to arrive. I noticed that we weren't the only ones that waited for some time, but I guess good things come for those who wait! When our burgers arrived, they looked amazing! Definitely a generous portion, especially being a 1/2 lb burger. The toppings were also super generous. BURGERS: Soprano's Ultimate Burger: 5/5. I loved how it had grilled onions with bacon and mushrooms. Clearly hefty but the toppings were all delicious. The fries were also perfect! Crispy outside with fluffiness inside. Director's Cut Mushroom Burger: 4/5. Again, a hefty burger. This burger came with mushrooms and fried onion strings. It was a bit more difficult to eat... I was wishing for more sauce! Flavor was good overall. For both burgers, we got medium well, but the cook on each burger were completely different. The Sopranos Burger was an expected medium well (pinkish) while the Director's Cut Burger was well done (no pink). I was surprised with the inconsistencies we saw in the burgers. It made the well done burger slightly drier than the medium well one (hence why I typically get medium well). Because if that, I have to ding one star from the review. Overall, I do like the place! I just hope that the cook could be more consistent next time I visit.

    Upon entering, I can only describe the decor as vampire chic, red and black motif and dark like walking onto the set of from Dust till Dawn... I ordered the Godfather burger with pepper jack cheese and a side salad with the house dressing, which was a very good vinaigrette. The burger was juicy and charrred to medium expertly, the bun was good and the veggies were fresh and crisp. A good solid burger. There was a waitress, a grill man, and what seems to be the owner in the corner of the bar as back up. It would have been nice if he greeted the customers for a more personal experience. Overall, this is a really good solid burger joint. If you're in the Belmont area, I would definitely stop by here!

    What a great lunch- guac burger with French fries onion strings, and a perfectly cooked burger w a tasty salad

    Always good, a place to relax and enjoy a meal. It's Sunday, several small groups here. Every one is enjoying their meals, kids like it here too, several smaller portions to choose from. Servers are attentive and make sure you get what you'd like. Sauces, veggies, toppings, appetizers -all are fresh and flavorful. Big variety of sandwiches, burgers, salads, snacks, drinks...

    Untouchables burger

    I stopped by on a Sunday for lunch. The place was getting busy. Untouchables burger and California burger were my entrees. Both were flavorful burgers. Chicken crisps was nice and crispy as well. Orange juice was ok.

    Big Burger! Cool place. Loved the Godfather theme! Staff were great! Nice choices on the burgers and they are a 1/2lb burger for sure! Cooked perfectly! Good fries but couldn't finish them because I wanted to get all the burger in!

    We were visiting friends in the area and suggested this restaurant. Parking is on the streets surrounding the restaurant. There are pictures of the actors from The Godfather. It is a pretty small place inside but there is also a bar to sit at. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and given a booth. Menus were brought over. They have a good selection of beverages and many different kinds of burgers (of course). We ordered the Godfather's Cheese Burger with Blue Cheese and our friends ordered the Fresh California Burger. They come with fries or a salad. Also had a couple of beers. The burgers were cooked perfectly. The size of the burgers was good and was very full at the end. Staff were very attentive and always made sure we had everything. I would recommend this place to any burger fans.

    This place was so great! The Godfather aesthetic totally set the vibe! I absolutely loved the decor! The staff was superb! So friendly and helpful! It was our first time visiting for date night. The burgers were the godfather of all burgers. Their lemonade was so refreshing that I had many refills. For dessert we had a hard time picking between the Oreo and the brownie. They were so sweet to add Oreos to our brownie definitely coming back

    The Director's Cut Mushroom Burger
    Aliza J.

    The Director's Cut Mushroom Burger was so good--juicy, flavorful, and perfectly balanced (I chose my patty to be rare). The mushrooms, crispy onion straws, and Godfather's sauce were a great combo, and it paired amazingly well with the sweet potatoes. Definitely ordering this again!

    California burger
    Jessica L.

    Really enjoyed this place and it is close to 5 stars; the only reason it is not 5 stars is because I felt there wasn't enough sauce on the burgers to taste and too much vinegarette sauce in the house salad... if the sauces could be balanced out a bit more then the food would be 5 stars for sure. I also had my burger well done and the outside of the patty ended up being burnt rather than the good charred taste. Good value for money for the peninsula. Food is fresh - beef patty is great quality, tasty buns. Cool, fun decor. Service is super friendly.

    Untouchable's Burger my favorite!
    Patty S.

    One of my favorite places for burgers. Im been coming here for years and still so good . They beer is also cold and delicious. The place is so cute like a movie room . The service is always great . Thank you!

    Some of the best burgers in the area in my opinion. Ingredients always test so fresh and the staff are always smiling and provide great service. We ordered the calamari to start. So good and a big portion too! For the burger I ordered the Sopranos burger with half salad and fries. It tasted incredible. Cooked perfectly! Only downside was it was a little sloppy as the bun completely fell apart, but other than that everything was perfect. Salad was fresh and the dressing was light and not overpowering. The fries were perfectly fried, hot and just the right amount of salt. The also have this godfather sauce I think it's called, highly recommend. Only street parking but I've never had much of an issue finding a spot. The restaurant overall is pretty small, but I typically haven't had to wait long if I come during prime dinner hours. If you're in the area, give this place a shot if you're looking for an authentic burger with generous portions!

    This place never misses whether you're eating there or getting delivery or take out. The burgers are always fresh and the meat is good quality. The best thing is they always follow the special instructions. Their onion rings are top tier! Their fried calamari is also super good!

    Al's eying my nice draft

    Throughout the years, Godfather's Burger Lounge serves good food. The burgers are well made and always tasty. Many nice variations are offered on the menu. Love the cinematic atmosphere and hope that the tv with the looped slideshow of Hollywood's greatest will never ever put away. Friendly staff who will make every effort to accommodate guests.

By day, it's warm, welcoming, and family-friendly. You'll see families enjoying dinner, friends catching up over drinks, and locals stopping in for great food and hospitality. But once Friday night hits, the entire atmosphere transforms. The lights dim, the music turns up, the dance floor fills, and the energy becomes something you'd expect to find in a much bigger city. Friday nights bring a fun mix of crowds; from younger groups looking for DJs, dancing, cocktails, and nightlife energy, to older guests enjoying the live music, atmosphere, and social vibe. Honestly, I'm a little older myself and still absolutely love the younger, high-energy scene here. It's fun, welcoming, and never feels out of place no matter your age. That's what makes this place so unique. Everyone fits in and everyone has a great time. Then Saturdays bring a completely different experience with live artists and an incredible variety of music. One weekend you'll hear young country performers getting the crowd singing along, and the next you'll find authentic Irish fiddlers creating that classic pub atmosphere everyone loves. That variety is what keeps people coming back..every weekend offers something different and memorable. The food is outstanding, the beer and cocktail selection is excellent, and the hospitality is second to none. I finally had the chance to meet Molly, the owner, and it's easy to see why this place has built such a loyal following. Her passion for creating a place where everyone feels welcome shows in every detail. From the amazing service to the live entertainment and unforgettable atmosphere, this isn't just another local pub. It's become a destination spot and one of the true nightlife gems in San Carlos. Highly recommend checking it out, especially on the weekends.

In addition, I got a milkshake and chili cheese fries. The milkshake felt like 3 servings, so there's definitely a ton of value. I thought I under ordered, but the portions were so big that I had to take it to go. I'd recommend this place and I'll definitely be going again!
