Gott's Roadside

Town & Country Plaza is lively, especially with the college campus across the street--lots of families, friends, and a laid-back, chill burger spot. The service was quick, and the staff was helpful.The only downside was that my garlic fries were cold when I picked them up from the counter, but the burgers more than made up for it. I had never tried a kimchi burger before, but it was amazing--it blew my mind!Definitely recommend stopping by, whether solo or with a group of friends. There's plenty of space, and the restaurant layout works well given the high foot traffic from Stanford University nearby. The prices are also reasonable, which is great, especially for Palo Alto.

Tried this spot for a quick bite. I can't feel more sorry for myself. Ordered onion rings, garlic fries, kimchi burger with veggie patty but it came with a bacon. I had to reorder since I am vegetarian. Person who took was least interested and did not even inform about bacon. Next horrible part everyone in the family went sick for a week with food infection. So think once before visiting this place

Tried Gotts Roadside few months ago They had a limited-time 25th Anniversary Burger, and it was AMAZING. Double-stacked beef patties, melted Gruyère cheese, caramelized onions, and garlic mayo. I'm not usually a fan of onions, but the caramelized onions in this burger were surprisingly delicious!The garlic fries are crispy, savory, and totally addictive. They also offer some great healthier options, like fresh salads, for when you're in the mood for something lighter.

Located in town and country, this restaurant is a great place for a casual place to eat. I had a great experience here starting with the friendly and funny employee taking our order. He was very personable and welcoming. I appreciate all of the vegan options here even though it's more of a retro dinner vibe. They have something for everyone! I'd never tried impossible nuggets before but I loved them and the sweet potato fries. Their sauces were also amazing- the honey mustard was my favorite! I'm looking forward to trying more menu items. There's lots of inside and outside seating making this a great place despite any weather.

Thought I give this place a try as I was in the area. Decided to order the chili bowl and cheese fries. The cheese fries were delicious. But sadly, the chili was horrible and I would not get this again. In my opinion, chili from a can would've been better. Nothing to say about to service, other than you order up front and you pick up your order when called.There were a couple of TVs around the restaurant playing the college football game and people reading outside. Parking can be a bit troublesome depending on the hour you go.

Most of this review is based on my experience as a parent with two small children, so please bear that in mind.Located in Palo Alto's Town & Country Village, this spot makes some decent burgers. Upon walking in, you see two very large boards to your right with menu items and a screen advertising specials in the middle. I've been here twice now, and both times I didn't realize/remember as I started walking in line is that the two boards are different, so be sure to check out both. The kid's menu is on the left board. There doesn't seem to be a menu at the counter either, I only saw the specials, so best remember your order or if you have a larger group, jot them down on your phone ahead of time.You order at the counter, they give you a buzzer for when your food is ready (pickup all the way to the right/back of the restaurant), and they hand you your drinks at the counter. Problem is, I had ordered two kid's meals with milk and a drink for myself, and they all come in the plastic cups with lids and straws. That meant I was wrangling two toddlers while trying to very precariously balance three drinks just waiting to drop and explode everywhere. It would be great if they offered a tray perhaps here. If the place is crowded, you have nowhere to set anything down without the kindness of strangers willing to temporarily share their table. There's a lot of booths and tables inside, and tables outside with covering. Despite it sprinkling rain, all the tables on a late Saturday lunch were being used, so the shelter seems excellent.We were lucky to snag a booth inside, and sat down waiting for our food. There's a very narrow area with napkins, condiments, and water near the food pickup area, so there's often a line of folks standing beside this area. Folks getting condiments and water also often have their trays of food with them so it's often in the way as they leave it there to grab their things even though the item you want to grab is available. This is inherently only a solo parent with small children issue, but that process took a longer time than comfortable to leave small children sitting alone in a booth. Eventually buzzer went off and I went to pick up our food. They have to-go boxes and utensils behind that counter so be sure to ask for them if you need it.The food comes in small disposable trays that seem slightly too small for your burger and fries, so I also ask for an extra paper tray to spread the items out.The food is decent. The veggies for the kid's meal is raw and the carrots are thick (not ideal for toddlers) but fresh. The chicken tenders are interesting (different from what you might typically expect) and small, but my kids seem to enjoy them so served its purpose well enough.Next to the condiments section is a trash area and tray return, but we were lucky where a staff member helped collect from our table for us (this mom appreciates you!).All in all, good food with a slightly steep price tag ($16+ burgers without complimentary fries, $9 kid's menu). Ambiance is kid friendly but the layout and drink pickup at the counter is really not conducive to solo parent with little kids for sure. Will be back only if my partner or another grownup is with me, or adults only. I'm sure otherwise the experience is great.

I've been here a few times and the food is always delicious. This time, I got a turkey Wisconsin burger and onion rings. There was a bone in the turkey patty. Otherwise, the food was delicious.It did take a long time to receive my order which was unusual. It was a little noisy but not very crowded yet. It had been remodeled since I was here last and I think the sound carries more than it did before.

Gott's Roadside in Palo Alto is a gem in our community, and Julien and his team deserve a massive shoutout for the fantastic job they do every single day! My family and I always have a pleasant experience here, thanks to the welcoming and fun environment, fresh and filling food, and the incredibly humble and kind staff.The recent expansion and remodel have elevated this spot to the next level. The newer bar area is a great addition; the clean and crisp lighting adds a modern touch. Service has also become even quicker. They put a lot of thought into making improvements while keeping the same charm that makes Gott's unique.This is truly a staple for both the Menlo Park and Palo Alto communities. Whether you're grabbing a meal with a sports team from across the Bay, fueling up before a Stanford game, or celebrating a win afterward, Gott's always delivers a lovely dining experience.We can't wait to go back. Gott's is more than just a restaurant; it's a place where memories are made. We highly recommend it!

Loving that this location is closer and slightly more convenient, however, with the already bustling PA Town & Country Center it can be a bit hectic getting in and out of the center.Went on a weekend and Gott's was packed, luckily they do offer outside patio seating at high top tables and bench tables.Line to order wasn't too bad and service time was short. They were out of their seasonal item but opted for the Citrus & Avocado Chop and a side of Garlic Fries.The Citrus & Avocado Chop - romaine & red leaf lettuce with asado spice-rubbed chicken, cilantro-pumpkin seed dressing, oranges, tomatoes, black beans, pickled red onions & quinoa, topped with avocado, toasted pumpkin seeds & Cotija cheese. The salad was good besides the chicken, it was cold, tough and dry. The rest of the salad was delicious and felt like all the toppings were balanced in proportion. Garlic Fries - a must get here, a good classic fry with delicious garlic flavor without being overpowering or sharp tasting or bitter.Prices are typical and not bad. Came out to around $20 for salad and fries, prior to tip.

My family and I got the December specials when we were here which were the crab burgers and salad. I think the salad was fantastic, the same with the burgers. I do wish it was available for longer than just the month but it was pretty good!It's pretty much self serve here. You order your food at the counter and pick it up when it's ready,
