American restaurant · Half Moon Bay

"Travel down Highway 1 far enough and you’ll encounter a site: an old train caboose on the side of the road, repurposed as a restaurant. Dad’s Luncheonette is serving burgers, potato chips, crispy mac and cheese with puffed rice and scallions, and more spins on roadside classics. The burger, one of the Bay Area's best, is more of a patty melt hybrid served on grilled white bread with Dad’s sauce, pickled red onions, and a runny egg—and it will transport you to a higher plane of existence. For vegetarians, the mushroom sandwich is an equally revelatory experience. " - Ricky Rodriguez
