    Lox Bagel
    John I.

    We found this spot while looking for a mid-afternoon brunch with a classic diner feel, and we got exactly what we came for! We went here on Labor Day around 1 PM, and the restaurant was relatively empty. We were seated right away at a little table near the window. Our waiter was very friendly and made us feel like regulars from the start! I ordered a lox bagel and a side of bacon with coffee, while my partner ordered the grilled cheese and Thai iced tea. Everything we ordered hit the spot! The salmon tasted fresh, with delicious slabs of cream cheese adorning the toasted bagel. It also came with tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions on the side so I could add as much or as little as I wanted. The bacon had a nice crunchy texture, although I did find it somewhat plain tasting. My parter thoroughly enjoyed the grilled cheese and sweet, creamy Thai iced tea. The service was prompt and attentive the entire time, and we really enjoyed the classic, no-frills, old-fashioned diner experience we got here. This will definitely become a regular in our brunch rotation!

    Awesome selection of donuts and great atmosphere! The cashier/ workers there were very nice and helpful, love this experience and can't wait to go back.

    Pancakes, corned beef hash plate, fruit side, orange juice, bacon avocado omelette.

    Donuts are in the name, but the breakfast is fantastic. Diner-like atmosphere with friendly and quick service. Unfortunately, there are no waffle houses in California, but this definitely scratches the itch. Chicken fried steak, corned beef hash, omelettes are all solid. Although I am firmly team waffle, the pancakes here are quite fluffy. They have the automated freshly squeezing orange juice machine, but they must get good oranges because the juice is delicious. It's nice when you get what you want and this place definitely does that for no frills breakfast.

    Royal Donut is a cute hole in the wall spot on Broadway. I hear great things about their donuts, but we came in for breakfast. It's quite a simple spot serving up your traditional breakfast & lunch fare, including eggs benedicts, breakfast burritos, and waffles. I went with the All American, which came with eggs, hash browns, toast, and choice of meat, of which I ordered the chicken apple sausage. The hash browns came out crispy, just like I like them. The meal was good, however I feel like the price didn't justify the amount or quality of food. I know prices are rising, and this is south bay, but an extra slice of sausage or a few more hash browns would've been nice. I'm giving four stars because everything was good overall, just wish the price wasn't so gouging for what you get.

    First time here. Food: yummy! not too big portions which is good if you don't want to take home leftovers. Service: nice and friendly. Ambiance: cool cute framed quotes and etc.

    That was the single piece of bacon on that half of the sandwich.

    Disappointing. Ordered a turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich and was very disappointed. I opened the sandwich and inside each half was one half of a single piece of bacon. Not even a full piece! All for the ridiculous price of $17.99! For that price I should have had at least three full slices of bacon minimum. The sandwich was flavorless. Came with fries and those also had no flavor. Won't be ordering from there again.

    I have yet to be disappointed by Royal Donut. The food is always good, the staff are always kind. No complaints on my end after about six visits here.

    It's been a while. Returned to this spot for brunch with my girls and it did not disappoint. The place is located in downtown Broadway in Burlingame with plenty of paid street parking and also a lot nearby. The place is clean and the staff are welcoming. Our server was friendly and attentive to our orders. They have varieties of options on their menu and so many selections to choose from which I thought was exciting. We ordered our meals, and didn't wait long to be served and our food came fresh and tasted great. highly recommend this place!

    Amazing food, affordable prices and stellar service. This is my new go to place when I'm visiting this area of town. Did I mention the stellar service?!? Yes!!

    Egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on rye and Burlingame scramble.  Delicious and generous portions

    Wow, this little diner is a GEM. Fair prices, fast, friendly service, and generous portions. What's not to like?

    All the food here is delicious and the service is fantastic! We forgot to take pictures of the pancakes and country fried steak but everything we ordered was delicious. The pancakes were the fluffiest pancakes I've ever had! Can't wait to try other items on their menu. Classic diner ambiance!

    Nice little neighborhood donut and breakfast cafe. RDC is on the app Too Good To Go which is a app that gives leftover food at a deep discounted price and it is a surprise bag. So you won't know what you will get until you receive it. I came in at 10 am on a Sunday morning and received a box a few minutes later filled with 9 assorted donuts for $5.99. A great deal, the donuts didn't taste old or stale. They actually tasted good and a good assortment. I'll have to come back and try the breakfast. Service was really nice and fast. Street parking

    Royal Donut has been a Sunday morning staple for about 3 years. As a former Nini's on Bayswater patron, this has taken over as the go to Sunday morning breakfast spot that's cozy and relaxing. Favorites are: -breakfast burrito, a hearty and comforting meal -egg plate, nice for a medium sized breakfast -buttermilk pancakes, the fluffiest and best flavored pancakes on the peninsula imo -any donut, all are fresh and delicious, but love their chocolate sprinkles, chocolate cake cruller, and apple fritter. Pros: friendly service, cozy diner feel, delicious comfort breakfast food, on the less busy downtown Burlingame strip. Cons: n/a

    Does there happen to be handicapped parking nearby the restaurant?

    Yes, there are plenty of parking spots including accessible spots. They are metered however.

    Home skillet in Alameda is the same owners?

I believe they have another section for larger groups, but I havent been to that side. The food itself is very good. I am not much of a breakfast person, but I was satisfied with my Sweet Croffle and my boyfriend enjoyed his Spicy Crispy Chicken. My cousin wasn't too impressed with the salad, so I would recommend trying something aside from salads if you are looking for flavorful items. The star of the show for me is a Mango Passion Fruit drink. It is so delicious! My boyfriend and I have to pace ourselves from chugging the entire thing before the food arrives. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for a nice brunch. I wish they stayed open later, but I will definitely return to try more of the menu.

You can tell they get very busy on weekends and they don't take weekend reservations. We got there around 10:30, and it did take a few minutes to get seated since we had a group of 5. I really enjoyed the Tom Yum scramble, but if I ordered it again, I'd ask for it without cheese since I didn't think the cheese really added anything to it. (I feel weird saying that since I love cheese!) The croissant that came with it was good. My friends liked the pancakes, the chicken croffle, and the udon. I got the house coffee which was fine, but folks seemed to enjoy the ube lattes (though said they were a little sweet). Service was very nice. I do think even with them being busy, I didn't get the sense they were trying to push us out the door when we were done. This is a cute place, lots of close tables though so not where I'd go for a quiet conversation.

So, coming here, first off, ALL the people who work here are wonderful. Very kind, professional, helpful and they act like they want to be here. I was helped quite a bit by Yesenia, and she was amazing, took great care of me! So kudos to management for what seems to be that, in turn, they take good care of their staff. It was a fairly long line to order and, at first, I sorta wished they had table service instead -- but it ended up moving fairly quickly and was very easy to order. They give you a number and you choose your own table, either inside or outside. On a Saturday morning, although it was busy, there were plenty of tables. My coffee came right away and it is good coffee. And I was told its Crepevine's own branded coffee, organic blend. My Thai crepe came not too long after. It usually comes with both peanut sauce and pesto. But I don't like pesto (and what does that have to do with Thai anyway?) so I asked for it to be prepared with just the peanut sauce. Unfortunately, that got lost and what I was served came with no sauces at all in the crepe. They were happy to take it back and have it re-done and it came out and a short time later with the peanut sauce inside ... and was nice and hot -- and delicious! The side salad that comes with the crepe usually has balsamic vinaigrette but I noticed that one of the menu items is a Thai Salad so, in keeping with the theme, I asked if they could put the dressing for that salad on my side salad and they said no problem, and it was very good -- a lemongrass dressing. The home potatoes were decent although I like mine well done with crispy edges, which these weren't, so I'd probably ask for that next time. And, btw, the value for the money is really good -- they give you A LOT of food! I actually couldn't finish everything on the plate. That all said, I don't think I'll come here on a regular basis, don't live nearby, but I'll definitely come back again, maybe when I have a guest in town -- it was a good meal at a good price and with excellent service and atmosphere, and the few minor problems I had were solved very quickly and efficiently, so 5 stars well deserved.

It's nice to be able to see the bay and SFO right out your window. But that is where the pleasantries stop. Hard stop. The rooms themselves are serviceable. I've stayed at uglier places... at half the price. The furniture is cheap and the mattress and couch are uncomfortable and hard to rest on. The main gripes with the rooms are the TVs. We are in 2026 Hilton! Why are we not using smart TVs. The TVs are all equipped with outdated software that looks like it's straight out of the 90's like "Saved by the Bell" is about to start playing next. They make you use an app if you want to actually change the channel. The remotes themselves are old as dirt and don't work so you are forced into downloading the app. If you have two TVs in your room you will have to completely log out to use the other. Silly. I know this isn't just in my one room because I had to move rooms after checking in. The first room's shower was completely broken. The entire fixture was hanging loose against the wall and was swinging free at the bottom. Not to mention 90 percent of the water was leaking out of every other part of the fixture EXCEPT the shower head. And the kicker... that was an ADA room that is meant for disabled individuals. Pretty sad. I can deal with some things being off here and there. Especially if the problems are addressed and if the staff is generally pleasant. That's not the case with this place. The problems abound and the staff I encountered were borderline outright rude. I had to call three times and wait an hour for a towel. Not coming back to Embassy Suites ever! Final Straw: Powdered eggs!!!!

At my seat (depicted) you get live behind the scenes of a kitchen. Me personally, I enjoy watching my food being cooked in front of me, so I enjoyed it. I originally went because of looking at the prices on an image on yelp. It was $16 for sausage, eggs, hash browns, and pancakes. That's a great deal! But, once I got there inflation kicked it up to $18. Not the biggest difference to deter, but just letting everyone know the real price. I got pancakes, eggs, hash browns, and bacon (depicted). The eggs were good, pancakes were very good, hash browns were okay, and the reason for 4 star instead of a 5.... the bacon. The bacon wasn't crispy and cooked to order. It was chewy and I guess they cook it before and then heat it up on the griddle after. It is super noticeable from the taste, but especially from the texture. I would recommend this place to anyone, but just be aware with the vital advice I wrote.

My pork chop dinner included soup or salad, slice of toasted and buttered sourdough, potatoes or rice, vegetables and choice of dessert. All for just under $30 before tip. The meal was as expected for a '60s coffee shop. Salt is the dominant seasoning. The turkey and rice soup was a smart way to use leftover ingredients. The boiled red potatoes were good. The two thin pork chops were supposedly marinated, but I couldn't tell from tasting them. They were over cooked--dry, tough and needed some herbs. DH had the cheeseburger with potato salad and praised the meal. He also devoured my dessert--ice cream with chocolate sauce. Service was friendly and efficient, making me want to return. Next time I'll have something like a sandwich or burger.
