I came here the other early morning to buy coffee and donuts…read more The first red flag was that as I was sitting, parked in front, I took a bite of the plain old fashioned and discovered that it was stale. I went back inside and was immediately given a fresh old fashioned. The glazed cruller was ok, but it had an artificial (custard) flavor that I found a little off-putting. I had purchased two "chocolate" cruller. The glaze on this donut was NOT chocolate. The glaze tasted absolutely artificial, overly sweet and probably a health hazard. I ate just the underside of one of these donuts and threw the rest away. Sadly, the workers had not bothered to change the frying oil in a long time, so even the fresh old fashioned donut from this place, which was relatively inoffensive, suffered from an ever-so-slightly rancid flavor. The coffee was solid and they offered a lot of different options for it, such as milk and cream as well as the usual nasty French vanilla "creamer," which is the only reason that Chucks gets a second star. This business owner should radically restructure their business model to include quality over cost-cutting, because they would do better to use clean (and not soybean) oil, real ingredients without artificial flavorings, and authentic chocolate instead of whatever unpalatable garbage I experienced. They offer all kinds of superfluous menu items and they should really consider making better donuts. If I hadn't exchanged the first donut, I would have wasted money on 3 out of the 4 donuts. It is telling that rather than selling out, this business had inventory left from the day before, and they tried to sell it to me. Stan's donuts in Santa Clara often has to close early because they sell out hours before their 3PM closing time, and they don't do this disgusting quality compromise.

Breakfast burritos, breakfast sandwiches, French toast, etc. We love the interior design with all of the cool stuff on the walls. Their apple fritters are easily top 2 I've ever had, competing with a place in Washington State.

I recently stopped by Apple Fritter in San Mateo and tried the Naughty Burrito to go along with the…read moreBrunchurrito, which I ate there. Both burritos were satisfying and definitely worth trying. The restaurant has an open layout with plenty of parking, making it easy to stop by. It's located next to a car mechanic shop, and I liked that they had old-school Pokémon playing on the TV--it added a fun nostalgic vibe while I was eating. Customer service was acceptable, but nothing really stood out. It's more of a self-service experience, so if you want water or anything else, you'll need to get up and grab it yourself. It would've been nice if someone checked in once or twice. One thing that did confuse me happened on a different visit. I arrived around 1:50 p.m. hoping to order food to go, but the gentleman locked the door and told me they were no longer taking orders. If you close at 2 i dont see how you were closed already. It was a little odd since there were still plenty of customers inside eating. I understand kitchens have closing times, but it would've been helpful if the hours or last call for food were clearer. Overall, it's a solid spot for a good breakfast burrito with a laid-back atmosphere. Despite that one experience, I'd still come back and recommend giving it a try.

I must admit that I don't frequent Dunkin often. Last time was probably 10+ years ago in Chicago…read more Stopped by on the way up to San Francisco. Ordered via the Dunkin app which was easy. Prices seek to be so much higher than I remembered or expected. The prices are similar to Starbucks or Peet's. I got a medium iced shaken expresso and it was over $7. It was pretty good but I guess I expected it to be a bit less expensive. Staff were friendly and helpful. Easy off street parking lot.

The Dunks is not my usual go-to donut establishment, and this visit reminded me why. I've been to…read moremultiple Dunkin' locations across the country, and while I expect the donuts to be on the denser, drier side, the drinks are usually a hit. Unfortunately, that wasnt the case at the San Carlos location. The drinks tasted watered down, and as other reviewers have noted, the staff at this location can come across as cold and somewhat rude. I've often noticed that the parking lot here is empty, and after this visit, I understand why. This Dunkin' location just didnt deliver on quality of service.

Ambulance... Five out of five. Nicely done for what it is. Welcoming the vibe, upscale, but not…read morestuffy, comfortable. Nicely decorated not overdone. Service... A+ except it did take them a long time to bring the check and we had to flag the guy down to get it. Otherwise attentive and the meal was reasonably well coursed. They let us split dishes and didn't give us a bad time about it. Food... Also an A+. I'm super picky and tend to not like to venture off the beaten path for different kinds of ethnic foods but everything here that we had was delicious. We split the salad with pear and goat cheese, and except for a couple of decayed pieces of spring mix, which is always a problem with that stuff it was delicious. The dressing was crisp and citrusy. We split the jambalaya with chicken and it was interesting in that it was basically a large scoop of rice with a good sized piece of chicken on the side, which you had to cut up, which is not how I've seen jambalaya prepared before, but it worked. The chicken was insanely good, and the rice also was very delicious, heavy on the bell peppers. We also tried the beef empanadas and the chimichurri sauce was insanely good. We wanted to get beignets, but they were out and none of the other desserts appealed to me so we didn't do dessert. We ordered a French 75 cocktail and the Pinot Noir wine and both were very nice )although pro tip French 75 are supposed to have a lemon peel in them and ours didn't). There is a parking lot and they also have a few tables outside although I don't think anybody would really choose to sit there since it's in the middle of the parking lot and the plants are too low to hide that fact. My friend and I meet regularly in the Redwood City area to dine out and this place is going to go into our regular rotation because it was that good. They were probably somewhere between a four and a five but I'm going to give them the benefit of doubt and give them Five Stars because we did enjoy our meal so much. You should try it!
