McDonald’s recently rolled out three new Angus Third Pounder nationwide. We normally do not review fast food, but figured we would give this a try and report back. It usually does not matter which location we ate at as almost all McDonald’s are supposed to be identical. We visited the San Mateo location. Busier locations may have hotter and better food. The tiny McDonald’s by ATT Park in San Francisco seems a tad better than others.

This local operation has 3 locations in the San Francisco Bay Area. We reviewed the San Mateo location. They use the slogan “San Francisco’s Most Awarded Pizza” North Beach Pizza serves pizza, Pasta, Salads, and Sandwiches. People come for the pizza, so we went straight to the draw. They have a huge delivery business.

This small fast food like restaurant is located next to Hulu Ramen, one of the best Japanese noodle places in the SF Bay Area. It was slow during lunch time, less than half full.  Service ok.
They have a very simple menu.  4 wonton / noodle soup dishes, several rice plates, and several noodle dishes with no soup to choose from.  also have 7 or so small cold dishes to go with your noodle or rice dish. (cucumber salad with garlic sauce, bamboo shoot marinade, asparagus salad, braised egg, shredded braised tofu…)

The price of the main dishes are from $6.99 to $8.99.   Not cheap for fast food, so if it satisfied our taste buds for comfort food, we’d go again.
