Super cute and clean inside. They were playing leave it to Beaver on projector while I was dining. Lots of cool posters and vintage decor. Service was great. Straus soft serve! Tasty comfort food. My favorite out of everything was the buffalo chicken loaded french fries. It had the runny cheese that I love! Don't skip it. If you like Straus, you'll love all of their shakes. Will be back to try their breakfast! read more

Patty’s Diner - American Near Me - Burlingame, California

Patty's Diner is such an amazing addition to Burlingame! Great food, a fun atmosphere, and even better people behind it. What really makes Patty's special is how much they represent what a local business should be all about supporting and giving back to the community. As a McKinley family, it means even more knowing that owner Berry is a McKinley alum and that Patty's partnered with McKinley to help support our school through fundraising. I love seeing a local business come full circle and give back to the community that helped shape them. Definitely a place worth supporting. Great food, great people, and a true Burlingame community business. We'll absolutely keep coming back! read more

Patty's Diner is minutes from SFO and a great place to stop if you're craving a good burger but not really wanting the typical fast food experience. Patty's a time warp to a setting decorated with old fashioned cars complete with a milk shake bar. I went with the Oklahoma Burger. The burger itself had a nice level of char. The flavor was excellent. My only gripe was that my order sat at the window for a while before someone delivered it so it wasn't piping hot when I got it. The staff were friendly and the place was quick to build a line although it was mostly empty when I ordered. Overall good food, friendly staff, clean and of course on a beautiful street. read more

You make my boys happy and put a smile on my face, Patty's Diner and that is certainly worth four stars! My mushroom smash was delicious and my youngest loved his breakfast burrito. My special needs son, Alex had demanded a milkshake when he got in my car for our weekly outing and he was slurping down the Strauss mint shake with a surprised smile on his face. The tall tatted gentleman checked in with customers on a regular basis. The football game on the big screen and memorabilia made us all happy! read more

Decided to try Patty's Diner and ordered the smash burger after hearing good things about it. It definitely lived up to the hype. The patty had those crispy edges, the meat was juicy, and everything was perfectly balanced, just a bit greasy though. The fries were fresh and crispy too. Love the root beer float! Next time, i'll try their milkshake. The staff was nice, service was quick, and the diner had that classic, cute, cozy vibe that makes you want to come back. If you're in Burlingame and craving a really good burger, this place is worth checking out. I'll definitely be back for another smash burger! read more

Visiting from out of town and when we walked by we thought it looks super cute inside. It's a small place that is retro themed. They were playing I Love Lucy on the screen. The milkshakes sounded delicious so we decided to stop by and get a couple. We ordered at the counter and the staff looked like they all got along together and it was a fun environment. We got the cookies and cream and banana cream pie milkshake. Both were very creamy and sweet. I would say that I liked the banana cream pie one more though. Overall cute place. read more

Order at the counter and grab a seat! Had the southwest and classic burger and flavors were amazing! Huge onion rings and some tater tots that were fine. Grabbed some spicy sauce because I love that heat and I would say it's not that bad. Milkshakes are not your classic malted or thick shakes, but i thoroughly enjoyed my creamy mango shake. My son was not a fan of the mint shake and said he wish he had the cookies and cream instead. Decor and art were the highlight :D grab some friends and enjoy some drinks and watch some shows like Leave it to Beaver! Street parking and prices are both painful, but this is a nice sweet treat. Thanks! read more

A few notes from our visit here: - came on a Saturday with a somewhat large party - 8 people. They were able to accommodate us because we called ahead and made a reservation. It doesn't look like there is much seating. There is some bar seating and a couple booths. They put two tables together in order to seat us. - when we ordered, they said it would take about 15 minutes. It was more like 45 minutes to get our food. They brought out our milkshakes very quickly so we had dessert before dinner. - since it's a smash burger, if you only get one patty, you're mostly eating all bread. I enjoyed the chili cheese fries. - the decorations were cool. Very spot on with the theme. I'm open to trying this place again for a better experience. read more

It's cutest burger spot. The diner is cute, decorated with a lot of posters, lights. The place is not very big has in door and out door tables. We walked by one time so we decided to come try it out. I was there before everyone else. The cashier told me "You order then find your table. ". Friday night dinner rush time and they are nice enough to let me sit at a table first to wait for my family. We all got different burgers and sides to try only thing is they are at a higher prices and still charge for sauce. Milkshake is good thick and you can tell they use good milk but just one cup, no extra. Float they use good soda but ice cream a bit sweet so it makes the float more sweet Fries and tots are just regular not very crispy . I guess I'm missing the sauce but I'm not sure $2 sauce is worth it. Onions rings are very crispy and favorful. The smash burgers are very good the meat is small if you don't get double. I did not try the Philly cheesesteak so cannot comment on it. read more

First off, Patty's is a 50's diner complete with leather booths, formica tables & chairs lined with memborablia from the 50's. Plenty of photos listed. Food didn't disappoint with 50's & 60's music rocking the place. An enjoyable experience. I had a good old fashioned patty melt and it was what I expected, crunchy toasted rye bread, burger with Swiss cheese and enough mustard to add some spice. I'll definitely stop by when in town. Looks like Patty's Diner is doing brisk business. When leaving the place was already bustling with families & young children who were really enjoying the environment. read more

Classic diner vibe. I ordered a cheeseburger and shared chili cheese cries. Both of which were delicious. The burgers are similar to smash burgers and have a nice crispy char on them. The chili cheese fries were really good as well and coated the fries really well. The place was very clean and has a wide variety of options from burgers to shakes. You order and pay at the counter then recieve your food. This place had a consistent flow of people dining in and ordering take out. I was not a huge fan of the bun. It wasn't toasted and was a cheap bun, didn't match the burger. I also did not like the AI generated photos of the food. It didn't feel very accurate. read more

We really like Patty's, good smash burger. My only suggestion would be if you offered a daily soup. We'd be there more often! Thanks read more

We stopped by here to grab a quick lunch and we were so surprised at how nicely decorated the interior was. Very classic American diner vibes with colorful booths and trendy flooring! We ordered: -Chili cheese dog: 7/10. Nothing too special...just a plain hotdog bun filled with sausage and topped with chili that had plenty of beans. I would recommend asking for extra onions and cheese since it comes with so little. -Oklahoma smash burger: 8/10. SUPER SOFT hamburger buns and the meat, cheese, and onions paired so well altogether in one bite. Does NOT come with any lettuce or tomato or any vegetables! -Kids hamburger and fries: 9/10. So worth the price and the amount of food our son got. A full sized hamburger with fries...what more could a kid ask for?! -Birthday cake milkshake: 7/10. Holy sugar bomb!!! It is REALLY GOOD but we weren't able to finish it because it's just way too sweet. It's packed with so many sprinkles too which made it a little hard to eat. Overall, the place was a good experience with great customer service. We paid about $70 something for everything we ordered which is a bit high considering it's just diner food. read more

Very cute diner! Was walking past and decided to stop in to check out the menu and ended up walking out with a Pattys Burger Salad bowl. And it was delicious. Healthy but tasted amazing! I was greeted upon walking in. And it was a breath of fresh air. The lady was kind and immediately sent me the way of a menu. After ordering, it was quick. Took maybe 5 minutes max to get my food. The gentleman who took my order handed me the nicest to go menu ever!! I would have mistook it for a regular menu if he didn't say it was a To go menu when he handed it to me. read more

New addition to downtown Burlingame, Patty's looks welcoming with open space and nostalgic decor. There are 5-6 tables and bar seating. Not a ton of seating so keep that in mind! You order up at the cashier before you sit, so depending on how packed it is you may want to take it to go. All tables were full when we got there but thankfully we got one before our food came out. We had: Double Oklahoma smash burgers: 10/10 they were so good. The caramelized onions embedded into the patties was a nice touch. Super soft bun, melty cheese; and an outside crispyness to the patties. Perfection! Added house made smash sauce: great sauce, paired well with burger Peanut butter cup milkshake: 8/10. This milkshake tasted great it was just a little difficult to drink. Theres a lot of grit in the milkshake from peanuts or chopped up peanut butter cups. Often got stuck in the straw. They do give you a spoon as well but I prefer straw :) All in all a great smash burger joint and I'd definitely go again! P.S. the lady at the register was very friendly and welcoming read more

Nothing but good things to say about this new diner in Burlingame. I recently went on a burger tour around the Bay Area and one of my stops was to Patty's Diner. They specialize in locally sourced beef smash burgers. The restaurant is new, with the 50's themed diner style like Back to the Future. Loved the vibe and on a sunny day in Burlingame, there is nothing like it. But most importantly, how was the food?! Smash Burgers: I was able to try the mushroom smash burger that was full of mushrooms. The flavor and quality of beef, bun, and ingredients were incredible. I also tried the BBQ smash which was visually, the best looking smash burger I've eaten. It had a giant onion ring with red onions and bbq sauce on top of the patty. Both were 8.7 The milkshake and fried complimented the meal. The staff and owners are salt of the earth. Great little diner worth visiting again and again. read more

Not to shabby for this spot in Burlingame, smashed burgers with several ways to get it your way. Here is breakdown of what I sampled and how it faired. Chilli cheese fries - piping hot, good meat to bean ratio, heavy/filling you can share this but why lol, crispy fries Oklahoma smashed burger - you may need to do the double cause the patties are small lol, grilled onions and decent taste, you can opt for the impossible burger or wagyu meat , I stuck with the regular and was pretty happy with everything, I would order this again Son had the classic opted for the double with wagyu meat and side of fries his take on it was it was filling and delicious Daughter had the nuggets and fries, her take she would come back lol Super retro look and feel, scarce seating by the time you get your order seats open up.

My husband and I were just walking around downtown and we took one look inside and it made us go in. It has that retro diner vibe with classic old Hollywood movie posters all around the walls. Everything was also very clean and surprisingly spacious, which made it comfortable to sit and enjoy the meal. Service was excellent from start to finish. The person taking our order was genuinely friendly, and our food came out very quickly We kept it simple with a burger and garlic parmesan fries. The fries were so good. They were crispy and perfectly cooked with a great balance of garlic and parmesan flavor and not too salty either. The burger was good but I wish the bun had been better. Overall, a really enjoyable experience with great service and atmosphere. read more

Patty’s Diner - Classic Burger - American Near Me - Burlingame, California

Came here for lunch and I was disappointed. We ordered a pattys melt and bbq smash burger with an order of Parmesan garlic fries and chili cheese fries. Paid over $60 for 4 items. The patty melt was thin and felt like it was missing something. You can view the pic in this review and see why. The saving grace was the chili cheese fries which were crispy with a very tasty chili. But like I said, that's pretty much the only redeeming quality. Won't be coming back unless quality changes. read more

Service and food were 10000/10! I was worried it would be busy on a Saturday afternoon but to my surprise it was pretty chill. We ordered right away and sat at the booth. I absolutely loved the decor and vibes. The cashier who took our order was spot on with menu recommendations. He was very friendly and knew the menu like the back of his hand. We tried the Patty's Smash and Volcano Smash. Both very tasty and the burger patty is actually thin. Sometimes places claim they're "smash burgers" but the burger patty is still thick. The volcano smash came with a spicy sauce inside and an onion ring too. The patty smash is your classic signature burger with their special sauce. Simple yet delicious. Definitely coming back! read more

Came here Saturday evening for dinner. My partner and I ordered to go. Restaurant was pretty busy and the line was long. We were quoted 40 mins for our food to be ready (took about 50+ mins). A little pricey for what you get, 2 burgers, onion rings and chili cheese fries came out to $58. Food is just okay. Chili could be a little thicker and maybe a little more cheese on there. Burgers were a bit salty but condiments on there slightly balanced them out. Love that there's different options on Broadway however, I don't think it's worth the price point. read more

I decided to start exploring more spots that my boyfriend enjoys such as smash burger places. Burgers aren't usually my go-to, so when I do go, it better be good. Luckily, Patty's Diner definitely delivered. After seeing the nice pictures of the place in yelp that caught my attention, it was nice to see that it lives up in person as the space is bright and welcoming with a cool, modern diner aesthetic. There's a good amount of seating and the decor is fun and clean. The menu is simple but still offers plenty of options for different tastes: burgers, sandwiches, salads, shakes, fries, chili, hot dogs, and more. My boyfriend got the Patty's Smash (double) and I ordered the Oklahoma Smash. We also shared a vanilla milkshake and onion rings with garlic aioli. Everything was great. Even though burgers aren't usually my go-to, I would absolutely come back. The flavors were spot on and the burger held together well the whole time; nothing messy or falling apart, and honestly nothing I would change. The only small thing I might suggest is serving the milkshake in a traditional diner-style glass when dining in, just for the experience. That said, having it in a to-go cup is actually really convenient if you can't finish and want to bring the rest with you. Service was quick, food arrive fast. They were also friendly, and the owner, Keith, even came by to introduce himself, which was a nice touch. Parking is street parking, but it wasn't an issue since it's on the quieter side of Burlingame. Overall, a really solid smash burger spot that I'd happily return to. read more

Patty's Diner is a refreshing yet nostalgic dining experience that I had the pleasure of visiting. I went there within the first few months of it opening and there's honestly not many restaurants nowadays that compare. They operate as a 50's-60's style diner with tons of cool relics of back in the day such as music albums, movie posters, and props. They have classic music playing and old movies playing all the time which really add to the atmosphere. I really appreciate a themed restaurant that put much effort to highlight their gimmick. They compliment their theme well with great customer service, they greet and cater to you right when you enter the door and they seem genuinely nice, nothing forced or fake in the slightest. Even at your table to check in frequently to ask how the food is or if you need anything. And in their downtime you see them constantly cleaning and making sure they present their place well. You can tell they put pride in their work. They were so nice it lowkey pushed me to compliment them before we left on their food and service, which I would never really do naturally, they honestly just deserved a vocal thanks. I left with a smile and this place is now one of my favorite trendy but classic places to eat! The food itself is pretty good, not life changing but it tastes good and it's not too expensive anyways! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. The old school diner interior is pretty cool and they have a few small tables out front, dog friendly. The menu is pretty big and they have a rotation of specialty smash burgers and shakes. We ordered a double mushroom smash burger, a single patty melt, smash loaded fries, and a cookies and cream shake, including tax and tip was over $70. Everything is ordered à la carte so it really adds up fast. Would be nice if they had combos or if their burgers came with fries. Despite the price, the mushroom burger itself was pretty oily, but really good. The patty melt was mid, it usually only comes with cheese but the cashier said she can smash some grilled onions into the patty. The sourdough bread on that was way to large for the tiny patty so the ratio was off. Surprisingly the loaded fries were pretty good, it was a big ol bowl of fries topped with cheese, tomatoes, pickles, onions, a smash patty, and their smash sauce which kind just tastes like thousand island. The almost $12 milkshake was a scam... it was so tiny. We are better off going to in n out. The food also took a really long time to come out. The fries and shake came out almost 30 min before the burgers did. read more

It was a warm Wednesday afternoon. My partner and I were deciding on a lunch spot and I recalled this spot that had an amazing retro vibe that I'd seen on tiktok before. Thus, we made our way over to Patty's Diner in Burlingame. First off, the decor and vibe of this place are outstanding. It is huge and has plenty of space even though it's squeezed into a classic small downtown space. For food, we ordered the Oklahoma Smash, Bacon Jam Smash(summer special), Garlic Parm Fries, and a Banana Cream Pie Shake. The Oklahoma smash was great. It had a really well smashed patty that could've used a little more onion, but flavorwise did everything it needed to. The Bacon Jam Smash was also a great burger. Super juicy and really well topped, it was hard to find anything wrong. I just simply don't prefer a Pretzel bun, but even in this case it was pretty soft and worked well. The Garlic Parm Fries were also awesome. The fries themselves had great texture and were super crispy on the outside and smooth on the inside. The garlic and parm flavor were also really nice, though it was a little oily of course. Finally, the Banana Cream Pie Shake was so bomb. It tasted just like any good banana cream pie and it had a good variety of texture including real banana in the mix. The food, vibes, and service here were exceptional and I will definitely come back. read more

This place brings me so much joy. The nostalgia, the food, the people--it's all magic. My husband and I stopped in on a whim for a date night and completely fell in love with the patty melt, garlic fries, and all of their incredible sauces (the ranch and chipotle sauce are amazing!). It was a busy night, but we still had the chance to chat with the owner and her husband. They are genuinely wonderful people who clearly love what they do. You can feel the heart they've poured into this place. I always say the beauty is in the details, and this place is full of thoughtful details. It has become our happy place. When my son broke his arm, this is where we came for fries and ice cream. When we've had a rough day, we come for patty melts and milkshakes. There is something special about good old-fashioned comfort food--it really does feed the soul. I honestly can't say enough good things about this place. Every visit reminds me why we keep coming back. I haven't had a single thing here that didn't leave me wanting more. If you're looking for great food, genuine hospitality, and a place that feels like home, this is it. read more

It was okay? Gonna edit my review because of the owners response! I personally would not get the Chicago dog again because I found it a little underwhelming having had a few in my life I'm sorry! And I didn't know I wouldn't like the sauerkraut so much. But if you do, give it a try or ask for it on the side. It's a bit pricey, but I get that rent is high in Burlingame. But you'd just expect diner prices, ya know? And the smash burgs should def come with fries :/ But the smash burger itself was pretty good. Onion rings were good too, can't go wrong with some rings!
