What User doesn't like about Paul Martin's American Grill San Mateo:
On a rainy evening, we had a cozy dinner at the restaurant. The place wasn't overly crowded, which made for a more relaxed atmosphere.

Overall, it was a great choi... View all feedback. What User likes about Paul Martin's American Grill San Mateo:
We visited for the Fried Chicken special, and it was fantastic. One member of our group ordered the ribs and mentioned they were excellent. The peach cobbler à la mode is truly a delightful treat. View all feedback.

It was great, our cake was fluffy and tacos were the best away ever

I've been there many times and I'm likely to go again. The food is great, and it is easy to sit outside on the patio (I still avoid indoor dining). But the serv...

Food was not good. House salad was not fresh and contained mostly lettuce. Short rib was 50-60% fat. Very little meat and no flavor.

Good. Out waiter was really good and nice. I think his names was Manuel.

Very average food in a very noisy atmosphere, with very average service.

The food was really good. I had a lettuce wrap burger and roasted brussel sprouts and both were superb. I would definitely recommend trying it out.
