The Treehouse

In town, doing some work at the University on a Friday night, and need to find a place to grab a quick bite within walking distance of the hotel... Not necessarily an easy proposition. This spot looks like it would fill the bill, and it did. Nothing fancy, a college food court with beer, kind of vibe, but I enjoyed my burger just fine, and I heard that the pizza slice, which was immense, was good also. Decent beers. Can't go wrong with that!

I went here for lunch today and had an unpleasant experience with the cashier. The first time, I ordered a whole pizza, and the second time, a can of cola.I'm an Asian who studied and have lived in the US for 7 years. Both times I was speaking at a normal volume, the cashier responded with "Oh, what?" twice, with a face of difficulty in understanding my English, making it super uncomfortable to order. The entire ordering process is dismissive, the staff is unfriendly. I couldn't help but wonder if there was any race bias involved.It's disappointing to experience this, especially in a well-known university. I hope the restaurant ensures all customers are treated with the same level of respect.

Overall, we had a great experience here. The five stars isn't because this is Michelin star rated food or because there was some side show that delivered food to our table (spoiler alert, it's fast casual and they don't deliver food). The five star rating is because of our overall experience - quality of the food, huge number of options to meet anyone's palate (mexican food, indian dishes, pizza, breakfast foods), decent portion size, and solid service.There are lots of indoor and outdoor seating options, and they seem to have a few games that are typically on display. We stopped by in the summer, so things were very calm - our food came out quickly, there were no lines, and there was seating available everywhere. That said, they seem to have a really well integrated online ordering system.We ordered the following, both of which we thoroughly enjoyed. * Nacho Fries - I decided to order without meat (which is very odd and rare for me), and boy and I glad I did. It was an explosion of taste. The flavors blended well together, and the fries were crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside. Absolutely delicious! * Taco Plate - chicken taco, carnitas taco, and double order of rice (instead of beans & rice) * As a side note, they offered two self-serve salsas which were both delicious. As someone who likes spice (but not crazy burn), they were not hot at all, but really added good flavor.I really appreciated how the taco plate was customized for my son without any issue. He is not a fan of beans, and he really wanted two different types of tacos. The man behind the counter took the order with no problems at all.I was eyeing their pizzas while waiting. Those look fantastic as well. They are NY style, my favorite. You can create your own, or order from a few of their "standard" offerings which all looked delicious. You can also order individual slices, but you'd better fold them in half and eat them NY style while walking out! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and give them a try (or several tries to get a sense for their wide variety).

Awesome! I love. love their food! My favorites are the enchiladas and the veggie tree burger with grilled onions, and cheddar cheese! The fries the lady time were cold, but they are always willing to correct any items that aren't to our liking, so hot fries were perfect upon request. Thanks Treehouse! We will return! Go!

Ordered a butter chicken bowl and realized it actually only had chicken, sauce and rice. Still pretty tasty and the portion size is pretty tasty, but I wish there could be some veggies!

I really enjoyed this food court and this sports bar. It's super convenient for the students and Stanford staff from all over.I ordered their jalapeño burger which was pretty big; meat patty was thick and full of juice. They also served a side of fries! This whole meal was only $6.95! Way cheaper than I expected and big in portion. Me and my co workers definitely had a good time here. I do want to come back and sip on some beer or wine while watching a football game. I'm sure it's pretty live and a fun place to be in during Stanford football games. They have a large variety of food on their menu here and the setup reminds me of Crepevine where everything is laid out on the wall (the menu). Their service is friendly and the orders come out pretty quick. I am definitely coming back!

As an alum, realized that this is low key the best 'beer garden' in the Palo Alto area, aside from Zots (which is always packed). Treehouse has tons of outdoor seating and is next to a field where the kids can run around.

Really fun place to get food, lot's of good memories here! The food is alright, but so are the prices. The outdoor patio is a lot of fun! I always get a salad, but beware the chicken might be a little dry.

Mexican food is decent there, as remembered when dining as a graduate student 20 years ago as on a recent visit. Asian dish over rice left much to be desired--could use some work learning the basics of Asian cuisine.

Treehouse has very nice ambiance. Really good place to enjoy a good lunch especially on a sunny day
