Christie's

Home of hearty omelettes and golden fresh hash browns.

Christie's gives breakfast fans a welcome amount of choice, especially if your idea of a good morning involves eggs, potatoes, and something from the griddle. This Burlingame restaurant on California Drive lists three-egg omelettes, scrambles, Benedict variations, pancakes, waffles, and crepes. We like the small twists among the familiar favorites, from a chicken-apple-sausage omelette to a California Benedict with turkey and avocado. The lunch menu keeps the same diner-style appeal with burgers, hot sandwiches, soups, and salads. A patty melt, a bacon cheeseburger, or a turkey-and-avocado sandwich offers an easy starting point, while chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla shakes bring a nostalgic finish. For breakfast or lunch in Burlingame, Christie's is appealing because the menu lets you follow a very specific craving without making a simple meal feel complicated.
