Broiler Express Reviews

Great food and great prices. The staff are always friendly and considerate.

Great breakfasts. We have been eating here for years. The prices are unbelievably low and the food very good. We usually just eat breakfast. My husband has food allergies and never has a problem eating here. The gentleman who works there named John always makes our visit special. Such a wonderful man checking that everything is perfect with your meal. Love this place!

First thing I noticed was the cost of sandwiches, breakfast, etc. was really quite low. So, I wasn t going to be surprised if the food came of low quality and quantity. It didn t. The food was great! You order from the person at the counter. They do have WiFi. The local TV news was on but it wasn t annoyingly loud. 5 stars.

my family and go for breakfast least once a month or so...., but would go more often if this place had a nice face lift.... I can't ignore the sad decorations and the old beat up menu..

i call this place old reliable, because you can always count on satisfaction. staff is warm and friendly, food is delicious

I love Broiler Express Restaurant because they have a variety to choose from at a good price

Huge meun with great prices. The breakfast sausage is very good

Super cheap with a huge menu. Food is decent. You get pay for

Broiler is San Carlos' hometown diner. I thought all the crowds were at dinner time until I hit it for a weekday breakfast a couple weeks ago. I was amazed at the number of people there. I guess it is popular with the seniors.
The menu is extensive and varied. There really is something for everyone. The food is consistently decent now, improved over what it was 12 years ago; not that it was a problem then, just inconsistent.
The service tends to be on the slow side especially when it is crowded, but there are always specials and lots of good options when your family can't agree on any dinner options.
We run into people we know here often because it is in the heart of San Carlos. It is a nice break from the rest of the upscale places. A greasy spoon in the bistro line up.

I really like this place in San Carlos. Affordable all-day breakfast meal and free coffee refill.

This is a very friendly and convenient family restaurant with good food. They've been around for long time and serve well. If you like greek food, there's a small selection for you as well.

Excellent service, good food, family run, and very good prices

Went here for breakfast with parents and the bacon was chewy and on point.

Good food for a cheap price. I just wish there was more detail as to what they put in some of the dishes. Otherwise great food. Customer service is a little ehh and took a little while for the food to be ready. But overall nothing that would keep me from coming back again.

I my family and I go here every weekend. They have really great standard breakfast food at affordable prices. They also have a wide variety of other options but we mostly do Sunday brunch.

Love this place. Efficient for a quick breakfast. I love the breakfast burrito with no salsa. It has all you need wrapped up in a nice package!

We go here every Sunday and love eating the food that is there. It is basically a tradition to eat there.

Cheap eats but very slow service. Was there early afternoon on a Sunday and waited ~20 minutes for an omelette (no customizations)

Good old fashioned diner food with a friendly staff. Great selection and super yummy.

I have been here over the last 10 years and yesterday I found it has improved.

Liver & onions was very good yesterday.

Affordable meals and a good location.

I was not going to return but gave it another try.

Just be sure you pick the right meal.

Something's just aren't good but breakfast and liver & onions are.

Sandwiches and hamburgers are not they're strong point.

Local place. Good food at a very reasonable price. Amount of food served was great

Been coming here for nearly 30 years. Great for breakfast or lunch. The best gyros and Greek salad I ve had anywhere in California. Really the only place that comes close to Chicago Greek (and they re not even a Greek restaurant.)

One of the best diners around here! Such a wide selection of items, great tasting food and most of it is also quite cheap. Love all of their egg dishes!

My wife and I have been coming here for many years and I mean many 20 at best it's always been friendly warm and the food is good and price decently

Great food, affordable prices. The owner is awesome

Good comfortable food. Family atmosphere. Great prices. Lots of locals. I come here when I have a half hour to grab breakfast between meetings. Service is fast and they will modify as you wish.

This is one of those mom and pop shops that I can't get enough of. The food here is great. They have a menu that you can get anything you want. I haven't eaten here since I was a little girl in high school. And I actually am now 30. My family goes here for family events sometimes as well. Service is always great and so is food.

Typical american comfort food at a reasonable price. Coffee was good.

Reasonable prices fast and friendly service good food for the price

Amazing menu, and very affordable. Great experience.

Popular local spot. Low prices and friendly staff. Easily accommodates large or small groups even when every other place has a wait. Food to standard American breakfast and lunch.

Great food with a very wide variety, and laid back atmosphere

Big portions, great prices, and amazing food and service

American Mexican Greek comfort food. Smart business they know how to make profit and stay in business with enormous portion sizes. Machaca $8.64 which is eggs with shredded beef, rice and beans. Put the meat egg into a tortilla add hot sauce and eat. Delicious. Coffee included. Best deal on the planet.

Places like this still do exist.
This is a cafeteria style greasy spoon.
Great for a quick inexpensive breakfast.
Old school style.
Think your grandfather s breakfast spot

Good food great price nice people family diner homey feel

Great place for a quick bite to eat, nothing pretentious just good solid food.

Great food diner style

Fast and clean served with pride prices are fair and many choices on the menu

Good portions! The person taking our order was apathetic to us but the owner was awesome and more than made up for it.

Ive been going there since I was little and Everytime I go it's the best part of my day there food is so good

This is an old school style American diner, if you want a down home cooked meal at a good price this is the place. Good soup, pork chops, steak, breakfast & other comfort foods. They also have a few T.V.s to watch. Parking can be a little tricky. My family has ate here over the last 30+yrs... I think in all the time I've eaten here I've only ever complained once, my pork chop was over cooked.

We love the broiler Express it's a great family run restaurant all of their food is very very fresh and everyone there is polite and want to please people should frequently go there their menu is extensive and everything that we have gotten there to eat has been raped I would really recommend the broiler Express in San Carlos

Best place in San Mateo for breakfast. They don't charge an arm and a leg.

Had an older Era feel to it with its decor and the group of 10 Mature men talking over coffee. Felt like a lot of regulars and locals

Broiler Express is our go to neighorhood diner, with low prices and fast service, we love breakfast here.

Must go for the daily specials! I absolutely love this restaurant, a surprising mix of Americana, Greek and Mexican food.

I have been coming here since I was little my favorite affordable spot

It is a great place to go if you are looking for a quick meal at an affordable greasy-spoon type place. They have weekday and weekend prices. They serve a variety of food and offer many combos. Order at the counter and depending how busy they will bring it to you quickly. You can serve yourself refills of water and coffee. There are a few tables outside.

Friendly place. Local gents even refilled me coffee

Great for what it is: inexpensive, greasy spoon with a large menu in the middle of downtown San Carlos.

Love this place! Reasonable pricing and one of the few old school San Carlos restaurants left!

Food freshly made. If you like family style dining, this is the place to eat!

Always good ,too bad I had to eat it in my pickup .the lock down is a farce, I am glad I don't live in the bay area.
