Best burger in San Mateo; and I've had burgers at just about every place in San Mateo that takes burger making seriously. The restaurant is family friendly, modern, clean, comfortable, and well lit by its lovely wall of windows. The staff is polite, attentive, and responsive. But center stage is the burgers, they are always, always, always excellent (shout-out to their fry cooks who are absolutely killin' it)! If you're feeling especially ambitious also order a shake, hand made and with high quality ice cream, they are absolutely delicious. Only downside is parking (why are their no sidewalks on that side of the El Camino?!?), the place is often packed (but the turn over is pretty quick), and pricing is a bit high but totally worth it when you just have to have a knock-out of a burger.
