This is great food with fantastic service and friendly owners. A lot of care for the food and ability to make most everything gluten free. They also keep a book of gluten free and other places shared by other people. From local, to out of state, and even out of country. The only downside is the limited hours, so we can only come by occasionally during lunchtime.

Love going to this restaurant! They have good options for gluten sensitive diners. I usually get the veggie roll and guac and chips. Our branch/office orders delivery for our client lunch meetings on a regular basis. The packaging presentation meets expectations and so far our orders have been accurate. When my friend and I went to dinner this past Sunday, we were pleasantly greeted by the host and served attentatively by our server. Our food came out promptly and delicious. Chef Eber and his team turn out flavorful dishes on a consistent basis, whether for in-house dining or delivery service. Pacific Catch continues to be my go-to restaurant when I want to have a great dining experience for myself, friends/family, and or clients.

I like this place. I was able to get a simple burger that fit my dietary requirements but tasted really good. They do country homemade style gluten free buns and they ask you how you like your burger cooked - I went medium rare which was perfect. I also enjoyed the sweet potato fries which were not overly salty like they often are elsewhere. The decor is like a clean version of the stereotypical American diner and the staff were very pleasant. The prices were reasonable for San Mateo. I'll be back soon.

My family and I visited Pinstripes on a busy Saturday and asked the host if they could accommodate our party of eight. The restaurant was busy hosting private parties and events, so we weren’t sure if they had room. Fortunately, the General Manager, Pablo, was there and went out of his way to set up a table for us upstairs. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the food was absolutely delicious. I have a severe gluten intolerance, and I truly appreciated how attentive and accommodating both the chef and staff were in ensuring my meal was safe. We were celebrating a birthday, and Pablo made the experience even more special by surprising our group with festive St. Patrick’s Day/Birthday drinks. It was our first time at Pinstripes, but thanks to the outstanding service and hospitality, it certainly won’t be our last. Thank you, Pablo, for making our visit so memorable!

Had been to this location before and I'm not sure what has changes but we will not be back. When I asked what the bread choices were the young lady flicked her hand back and rattled off the 3-4 choices so fast I had to ask again. Once we got that settled we both ordered the pastrami one on rosemary and the other gluten free. We ordered to go. When ready at the guy that made the sandwiches called my name and handed me the two wrapped sandwiches, NO BAG & NO NAPKINS I had to ask for both. I see on a table orders made on line in a nice handled bag ready to go. To add insult to injury the gluten free bread was $2.00 more and tasted like dust, absolutely no flavor and just crumbled into pieces. The meat was ok what there was very tiny portions. For the $13.25 spent on a sandwich I'm expecting a lot more then what was received.

A nice breakfast/brunch place! Went on a sunday and the waiters were kind and the food was good! I'm gluten free and they were knowledgeable about my allergy which was nice and offered me corn tortillas instead of bread with my breakfast. A solid, yummy experience overall!

If you're in San Mateo and craving some authentic Mediterranean flavors, Tastee Grill is a must-visit! Their falafels are a delightful blend of crispy and tender, perfectly spiced and even gluten-free! The menu boasts an array of vegan options too. The Sauteed Eggplant is cooked to perfection, and the Sauteed Mushroom side is a umami-packed delight. Don't skip the Sauteed Cauliflower; it's a deliciously seasoned, healthy treat. Their Small Tabouli Salad is fresh, with the perfect balance of parsley, tomatoes, and bulgur. And their Lentil Soup, available in multiple sizes, is hearty and comforting. Everything is affordably priced and the portions are generous. Tastee Grill in San Mateo is the place for fresh, flavorful, and authentic Mediterranean dishes. A five-star experience! #SanMateoEats #MediterraneanDining #TasteeGrill #FalafelLove #VeganOptions #GlutenFree #HealthyEating #FlavorfulMediterranean #SanMateoRestaurants #DineLocal #GoogleLocalGuide
