Qube Bar & Grill

I don't go there anymore.  The last 3 times I ordered my favorite fried Chicken Schnitzel, it was dark brown, not golden like usual. . and it was not moist like usual.  So I'm changing my rating to one star.  It's a shame because I've been going there for years.. bawhen it was the old Paul's DinerI tried it again recently. Harry cooked the schnitzel for me and it was just as good as I remember it originally being.  Thank you Harry. More...

This restaurant is great and we have never been disappointed, either dining in or getting take out.  The chicken schnitzel and turkey burgers were great last night. Please check out this little gem in the Indian Springs neighborhood.  I used to frequent the Villa coffee shop growing up here and am delighted the location is now home to Qube. More...

My girlfriend Jan and I come here often when I am in town from FRESNO...She and I dated in 1964 and for 2 years now we are back together, but mainly via phone. ..She lives in San Mateo....SO THIS PLACE is great....they have great service...and the food is never disappointing. I recently had the Rueben and it was perfect. I usually order breakfast but this time went with a sandwich...They have variety....pasta, soup, breakfast, etc. We have been coming her for 2 plus years and its convenient and right on El Camino. (I used to come her in the 70s and 80s when it was the VILLA HOTEL...and next to the great LANAI....we had meetings here and the food was always great. They serve JOES SPECIALs too and you will not be unhappy with the wait and crowds at Westlake Joes....there is no wait...but the 10 or so booths are fine (they have a big room too)....bottomless coffee and tea and a nice place to be when in San Mateo....great prices too.

Found this restaurant through Groupon. Don't judge a book by its cover! We walked in and thought it was going to be a coffee shop type restaurant, but was pleasantly surprised with the menu and the food. A wide variety of cultures represented in their menu. My husband was really surprised by the $2 anchor steam beer. They have happy hour all the time for beer and wine. Give it a try you won't be disappointed! More...

The cube has a very unique menu. Many different styles of cuisine. I had a butter chicken. My brother had lamb chops. Both were excellent. They have a happy hour with 50% beer and wine 25% off of higher adult beverages. I asked why it was named the cube.

Went here for a company holiday dinner. Has a nice homey and diner atmosphere. The staff and chef were very nice and accommodating. The menu is pretty extensive. You can find a little bit of everything which I think is nice. Aside the bar and seating area, there is also a back room (where we were seated at) for larger groups. Suitable for small parties and group gatherings and nicely equipped with flat screen TVs, great surround sound system/speakers and even karaoke. Will definitely come again! More...

Has that giant menu that the Restaurant Impossilbe guy HATES ("you're doing too much!"). But if you stick to the wheelhouse, it's quite rewarding. The koobideh (rice okay)  and the club sandwich were very vety good. The mixed drinks equally good. Still carefully navigating the menu, will report more., but so far, so great.Suggestion for the owner: swap the dance music for elevator music, maybe soft "Pulp Fiction" (Al Green...): MUCH more retro, fits the decor, plaus up to the attached retirement home (no joke) and annoys less.

My husband and I have driven past this restaurant many times. I wanted to give it try, but he was hesitant. Finally we stopped there for dinner. As other reviewers have noted, it is very nice inside. It does have a diner feel and look which I like a lot. I really do not see diners here in California. We both thought the food was good, attractively served, and  the service was fast, friendly, and courteous. It is not expensive. Our two meals with tip was around $40. We will definitely come back here. Give it a try. More...

QUBE is a typical "old-school" feel kind of diner. But in a good way....it's very clean, and they put out some mighty fine dishes. I live relatively close by, so I have eaten in, as well as called ahead, for pick up (take out).*.  Extensive menu*.  Great food*.  Friendly waitresses*.  Efficient Service*.  Great hours (open early till late)I have had their Egg Omlettes, and other various breakfast items, pancakes, crepes, etc.  I think the breakfast they put out is above par. Satisfying, and plentiful (good country potatoes too).  I've also had the opportunity to try their Lamb Burger.  Not bad at all. They make a decent Cobb Salad as well.  Pasta dinner Specials, I would pass on. Last but not least, they serve slice of yummy Key Lime Pie, if you so desire.On Fridays, they have awesome Clam Chowder.Give QUBE BAR & GRILL a try.  There's something on their menu for everyone!

Qube Bar and Grill is highly underrated. They have most definitely improved the food, the menu, and the customer service over time. The atmosphere is always great and so is the food. Steaks are always cooked perfectly, burgers are huge and delicious, and omelettes are stuffed amazingly! Breakfast and dinner chefs are off the hook. Even though it is more like a diner, they have the best happy hour. Best part is are the waitress and their great customer service. I have had the pleasure of being served by Eva, Kammy and Ericka, who were all amazing and made sure everything was great. Would highly recommend to everyone!! More...

Since it opened in 2015 Qube has nagged me like a loose hinge on a cabinet door; its stark Googie architecture and bright red neon sign light up my hippocampus each time I pass-  "need to go there, need to go there" - only to be forgotten moments later. Until today.WHAT IS QUBE?Probably overlooked by historians, Qube occupies one of the few remaining structures in San Mateo to exhibit the Mid-Century Modernist style born of the jet-age; note the sweeping, wavey eve and how it suggests a "lift off" of sorts... more a vestige than museum artifact, just to be fair.Essentially, this is a diner that calls itself a "Bar and Grill", but what stands out is it's airy jet-age modernist decor; the dining room is juxtaposed to the busy flow of lights and sounds of El Camino, the steep forward-facing windows are lined by a row of comfortable booths, across the isle sit tall Jetson's-like swivel chairs bracing a wide, sweeping bar that could double as a landing strip...all of this evokes the forgotten spaceage optimism of 50's and early 60's.  There is a second fairly large if non-descript dining room behind the bar area. "The Villa" senior living community shares the same address and parking area.WHAT DID YOU HAVE?* Grilled Ham and Swiss w/Tomato, White Onion on Rye    - Delicious, but next time I'll hold the tomato, it added too much juiciness. * Curly Fries    - Delicious, they were gone well before the sandwich, even if standard fareSERVICE:My server was friendly and welcoming, refilled my drink and checked on me regularly, took my order which included 4 changes to the listed menu sandwich, all of which turned out perfectly.AMBIANCE:Mid-afternoon on a Tuesday was perfect for sitting in a booth and getting some work done while I ate......an old guy behind me breathed heavily; the Salvadoran in front shared his life story w2 others, further down an old lady held a focused gazed out the window as she took intermitent sips from her coke...she reminded me of a Gary Larson character mimicking the absurd....TMZ  played on large TVs above the bar, just audible enough to not be audible...SUMMARY:Highly recommend and look forward to returning, mostly for the modernist/Art-Deco aesthetic, but also because the food and service exceeded my expectations and I was able to get some work done.

Stopped in on a Monday night for a beer and a bite. Not too busy for a Monday night.As soon as we arrived, we received a warm and friendly greeting from the bartender. He really made us feel welcome and he gave off a positive vibe letting us know he was glad to serve us. As for the bar itself at Qube,  they have a nice selection of beers, wine and hard alcohol. They have countless TV's mounted in every possible highly visible areas of the restaurant  providing an impressive & relaxing atmosphere.  My date and I ordered the steak pasta which was amazing, not to mention it was such a big portion we were able to share 1 entre.This was our first visit and we absolutely loved it so much we had to go back.

I've been passing by Qube for 18 months now, I recently started working in the area.  I decided to try it a week ago and I've been there three times now.  The place is clean, they have a parking lot with plenty of space, I'm always greeted with a friendly staff member.  I love that they use fresh ingredients and REAL CHICKEN, not that fake processed stuff.  The prices are reasonable.  They take all major cards including AMEX.  They accept web orders and phone orders.  My only suggestions would be: more options for online orders and putting dressing on the side for take out salads.  For instance the online option to build your own salad, burger, sandwhich, where you choose everything from bread, lettuce, veggies, meat, cheese, dressing, etc.  I've ordered the creamy white wine sauce pasta with garlic prawns, it was delicious.  The risotto was ok, it had a taste in the sauce I couldn't put my finger on, I didn't care for all the peas, it was my first time having risotto, but if it had the creamy white wine sauce, I would've loved it.  I had the caesar salad, minus the egg, and added grilled chicken, delicious.

I'm a huge breakfast fan and have tried most of the spots within my near vicinity. I was stoked when I saw a Groupon deal come through for this spot as I hadn't yet tried it. I drive past this place all the time but never thought to come in as it's attached to a hotel, so I didn't think the quality would be that great. I was totally wrong! I love the diner feel of this establishment, but with the modern twists - i.e. where you would normally have the open kitchen, you have a bar. Our waitress was really friendly, got our order put in right away, and our food came our a short time later. Everything was really tasty - I usually don't order anything sweet for breakfast, but their chocolate chip pancakes looked super tasty so the bf and I got an order to share (along with with our normal breakfast plate of course), and it was delicious. I would definitely come back again. More...
