Godfather’s Burger Lounge Restaurant Review, Belmont

Godfather’s Burger Lounge opened in Belmont, December 2009 right on busy El Camino Real just south of the Ralston Ave. They focus on ½lb. fresh, all-natural “Certified Angus Beef” humanely raised burgers. No added hormones or antibiotics.

Decor, Vibe – Lounge like decor, with a bar area, flat panel TV showing movie star stills. Fun low booth couch seating by the windows, movie star memorialbilia picture, twisty lights, burgundy color color scheme, and a view of traffic on El Camino Real. Fairly full with Locals, families, friends, having an informal lunch.

Picks:

Soprano’s Ultimate burger ($10.50) 1/2 burger topped with grilled mushrooms, onions, and two strips of bacon, served with homemade aioli based Godfather’s sauce. We had it with regular fries. After about 15 minutes, we got it medium rare as asked for. Juicy, big, good fries, lots mushrooms, a good showing but minimal Angus flavor.

Philly Cheese Steak Burger ($9.50) Signature Steak Burger with onions, mushrooms, red bell peppers, and cheddar cheese, served with homemade BBQ sauce. Messy looking but tons of delicious thick, chopped up meat and mushrooms. Garlic fries with fresh chopped garlic & parsley were very good with a hint of truffle.
Upgrade to fries was $1.95.

Kid’s Crunchy Chicken Crisps ($4.95) with soda was a good sized portion of deep fried city. Sweet potato fries were good not not very thick. Nice BBQ sauce sauce for dipping.

OK:
None

Pans:
None

Godfather’s Burger Lounge had very friendly server with no ask refills and accomodating service. They are really trying here. Burgers were solid, making this a fun nice place for some food. Be sure to try the garlic fries. We’d rank this place slightly ahead of nearby Rave Burger and Jack’s, but not into top notch Pearl’s territory.
Kid’s menu available. 20% discount to San Mateo County Fire & Police Departments, Public Works, Military Personnel, Veterans, and “MDA” Foundation.
