Christie's

TLDR: Big portions and good tasting food! If you're in the area, I would put this on a list of places to try out.Food: Monterey OmeletThe Monterey Omelet took me by surprise - it was a hit for me! Absolutely loved the hollandaise sauce that is poured atop the omelet. I enjoy artichoke, but the chunks were a bit big, so it was a tad cold when I bit into them. Hashbrowns were crispy for the most part - some parts were still a little moist. This dish also came with a side of bread, but I was so full from everything else that I didn't even finish this! Overall, a good cheesy/creamy dish that I'd recommend to anyone.Ambiance:A boisterous environment - bustling and lively! It made for a great brunch vibe, but if you're looking for something quieter then I'd suggest outdoor seating. From the decor to the dishware, this place is as old-school American as it gets (in a good way!)Service:Super attentive and always kept my coffee filled to the brim! Absolutely great service and felt very taken care of. Parking:Come waaaay early to find parking! It's Downtown Burlingame, so everyone's trying to park here.

Came early Sunday morning for breakfast. Was seated right away and the kids got coloring sheets and crayons. Decent kids' menu and large regular menu with lots to choose from. Went with the California Benedict that came with turkey and avocado. Hash browns were crispy. We also got the corned beef hash Benedict which was on the saltier side (understandably for what it is) but also felt the amount of corned beef hash could have been greater. Ordered ham with over-medium eggs for the kids to share. The eggs came out over easy instead as the yolks were very runny.One thing that rubbed us the wrong way was when the waitress brought the food to our table, she seemingly got flustered with the lack of table space due to the 2 kids coloring on their sheets and stood there with our food and said "I don't know where to put this!" It wasn't in a joking way. She was visibly distressed which was very uncomfortable for us. I took the plate from her and set it down on the table. She came back with another plate and repeated the same thing. We took that plate from her too. The rest of the staff were friendly and great.

Had to get a car service around the corner so ended up here for an early breakfast which was very pleasant, but let's get to the skinny:1. Parking can be challenging as it's a very tight part of the little downtown.2. They have a cute little counter or a nice array of tables to sit at.3. Lots of natural light from the street.4. The staff are HAPPY and worked well together from front of house to the dishwasher.5. The menu has a great selection but not so much you get lost in it.6. If you have time, you're walkable to a bunch of fun little shops, and the library which is beautiful!I ended up coming back for a BLT with onion rings (not pictured) which was generous with big thick bacon pieces and more than enough rings to soothe the greasy craving. Can't wait to go back!

This was a great locally owned breakfast spot. I has brunch with some friends and it we got there at just the right time. This place it's great when you're out with friends or just solo. I really enjoyed how attentive the service was and the staff made me really feel at home. I had the taste for blueberry pancakes however I didn't want to order a full stack I really enjoyed that the restaurant was able to accommodate me and brought me one pancake and gave me one extra on the side. My friends enjoyed their bacon cheeseburger and their other breakfast items can't be missed. I definitely enjoyed the hot coffee and they always made sure my cup was full. I definitely have to come back and try more items on the menu.

My second visit here on a Saturday morning with a group of 5 were seated outside. I got the vegetarian scramble and it had all the veggies and fresh avocado. The portions are always good here. Your typical American breakfast.The service is always great, checked on after getting dishes and water/coffee always refilled multiple times. More seating indoorsCash/card accepted

You know how they say never go to Costco hungry? Applies to Christie's! I came here STARVING and ordered an "American Scramble." I was so hungry that I scarfed down the entire scramble before I realized I never took a picture of it. Now attached is a photo of the interiors. Nevertheless, everyone was very kind and the place looks like an old school diner. I would definitely return to try other things and perhaps remember to take a picture next time.

Christie's has been on my list for a while. So glad we finally made it. It's a small diner, but luckily we didn't have to wait long for a table.Classic breakfast menu. Their portions were big. We ordered the krab cake benedict special, Denver omelet, and chicken fried steak. Between hash browns and home fries, one of the better home fries we've had.

I feel bad that it's taken me 2+ years to write this review. This is our default go-to brunch spot when we are not feeling like venturing out to SF on the weekends. In my opinion, Christie's beats out the other brunch options in the downtown Burlingame area both in terms of quality and quantity. Not to mention the wait time during peak Saturday morning is much shorter than the alternatives.The best item hands down is the Monterey Omelette with Hollandaise sauce. This massive omelette is filled to the brim with chicken sausage, artichoke and mushrooms. The star of the show is the hollandaise sauce, which is usually my favorite part of eggs Benedict. But since omelette is usually my favorite thing to eat at a brunch, this dish just brings together the best of both worlds.Most of the patrons here seem to know the owners. Those human connections give this place a warm small community vibe despite of being located in a fairly large suburb area.

Enjoyed a fantastic spinach and cheddar cheese omelette with rye toast. Everything came fresh, hot, and fast. Service was impeccable. Only down side was the coffee, tasted mediocre but it was piping hot.

A cute breakfast diner! Really has a diner feel to it and food is what you'd expect. Nice portions. Staff is also very attentive and friendly.
