Canyon Inn — 587 Canyon Road — You will find everything
at this Redwood City favorite. The Canyon Inn is nestled in
the small, quiet neighborhood of Emerald Hills. It’s a popular
stop for bicycle touring clubs and local sports celebrities such
as members of the San Francisco 49ers. But the reputation
draws celebrities and personalities from all over the world.
The restaurant is noted for its burgers and beers, most
notably the Hacksaw Burger, a big double cheeseburger
named after Jack “Hacksaw” Reynolds. The Canyon Inn also
offers hot and cold sandwiches, hot dogs, fish and chips,

and provides the perfect atmosphere for get-togethers of any
kind. They offer a variety of specialty items, including eggs
Benedict with fresh crab and homemade hollandaise sauce.
They also have beer and wine, and espresso drinks available
to go. For your convenience, they have outdoor seating that

the freeway, it’s easy to stop by and visit. Try the famous
pear, walnut, gorgonzola and grilled chicken salad. It is so
delicious that people come from all over to enjoy it! They also
have a seasonal specialty, which is mango pasticcio and feta
salad with grilled chicken. People tell us that they want to
keep the cafe a secret, because it is such a nice location with
outstanding food. We won’t tell anyone?
Encore Performance Catering — 2992 Spring St. — Owner
Dave Hyman’s menu goes on for eight pages of mouthwatering

also has a strong sense of community and participates in
many community-oriented events. Additionally, Hyman is
proud of the fact that his business products are nearly 100
percent recyclable, and they contribute their leftovers to St.
