41 Best American Restaurants in Burbank

“This place is great!! Tried their fried fish burger and they let you choose how hot/spicy you want it. Not gonna lie, I wasn't sure what to expect but it was SO good!!! Staff and owner are super friendly as well. I'll definitely be back.“

“This might be the best burger I have ever had (I got the chipotle burger). It was so delicious. Sam was super cool and he told us about how all the dressings were made from scratch — and they did not disappoint! The fries were delicious. I love fries that are both soft and crunchy. The salad was delicious. I’m at a loss of words for how good it all tasted. I wish I would’ve taken a picture of the food but it was gone by the time I thought of it. Lol I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend you give this place a try if you love fresh food & supporting an amazing local business!“

“It's a tiny whole in the wall, stopped for dinner only because of the name. Prices are super high to me, for the amount of food that you get. A soda is $5.50. ?Cute Menus, they also had a QR for the menu. Should've looked at the prices before I ordered. $70 for 2 people. Never again. Sorry Not sorry.“

“We went to the Burbank BJ's oh my goodness our server Sophia was so amazing we really enjoyed the service it makes a beautiful atmosphere even in the restaurant when someone smile and take care of you fully so thank you again BJ's for hiring such a wonderful person“

“What a nice surprise to discover this adorable restaurant not far from the Burbank Airport. Cute decor and wonderful presentation of their food, including the complimentary corn muffin drizzled with honey. I had the French Dip which was yummy. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Burbank!“

“Food is good. Atmosphere is great ? But the parking is something else. It's very small and if there's no parking whatsoever you'd have to park somewhere else and it's not easy to find parking there at all. This restaurant is very pricey. A little expensive for someone/families who are on a budget.“

“This is one of my favorite brunch places in LA! The loco moco hits everytime and the matcha pancakes are something I order every time I eat here. Their pancakes are also something that my friends and I love to share. Service is fairly quick, I'd say food arrives 10 min after seating. They do get busy in the morning, so be sure to come early!“

“Stopped in here on a recommendation from a friend while visiting the area. I was not disappointed at all. The tri-tip was very good and tender. I also tried the coleslaw which was also very good. I would suggest this place if you're in town and looking for some good service and good food.“

“First time ever coming to this very cool spot for lunch. I had the Philly cheese steak sandwich and my daughter had the Philly cheese chicken steak sandwich. ????. We loved them full of flavor. I truly recommend this place a must try when you come to downtown Burbank. Very friendly and helpful staff. Thank you.“

“Smoke House has been one of my favorite restaurants for quite some time. I first came here in the 90s, when a dear friend of mine was on a primetime NBC drama produced by Warners, and we ate here with some of her co-stars. Since then, I've been eaten here probably forty times, and I have never had a bad experience. The food is always outstanding, filling, and ate a very reasonable price. The staff make you feel like they've known you forever.I last came here in March of 2024 with my cousin, his wife, and his parents, just after we saw loved ones resting at Forest Lawn Hollywood Hills, and the dinner really helped me to mellow out from the grief I was feeling. Despite the "Classic Hollywood" vibe and occasional famous faces at the tables, the Smoke House is a family-friendly establishment; I've never felt a smug "air" about the place compared to, say, the Ivy. You come here to relax and have a good time with family and friends, not to show off for your Instagram followers.I have so many great memories of the Smoke House, and I'm sure I'll have more in the future. I miss it when I'm back in the Midwest.“

“We had our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner here last week and it was truly wonderful. The food was fantastic, brilliantly served, more than ample. The atmosphere was gorgeous, filled with flowers not billed to us. Marietta, the co-owner, was totally easy to work with, more than fullfilled our expectations. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant for a superb dinner, lunch, or special event.5 stars all around.“

“I recently held a staff/team outing here, and we were all blown away by how delicious all the food was. I was expecting typical bar food. But I abdielito just want to go back and just order food. Lol. Comedy show was amazing. Great, friendly service too all the way through and clean.“

“The best pancakes around town! This is one of my favorite places for pancakes, light fluffy and so delicious! I like to share with my friend so we can try everything. The last time we ate there, we ordered the special of the day Chilaquiles soooo good! I highly recommend this place!“

“1st time here, we had the BBQ ribs and the sliders. The ribs are amazing, flavorful, and meaty. We also tried the bread pudding, and omg, it was amazing. I recommend it. Next time, I'll have 2 so I don't have to share with my wife. Overall it was a great experience. Thank you Lorena.“

“The Restaurant looked very busy when I walked by I almost changed my mind on going inside. However, the wait time was 10 minutes (so don’t get discouraged) We were seated very fast and seats were very comfortable. There’s seating inside , outside and bar seating. Although we didn’t have drinks they have a full bar! We had a Chipotle Chicken Club and a Salmon Filet.Parking: There is paid parking on the street. There’s also 4 parking garages in a 2 block radius.“

“What an amazing place! Been hearing about it from friends for a while and was finally awake early enough to try it lmao. When my friend and I got there, the place was packed but they quickly are able to turn tables around. The owner guy is really funny and charming and I can see why he runs such a successful breakfast spot. The monte cristo was delicious! The fries were just trash but it's a breakfast spot, do not get the fries The omelette was delicious but the hash browns could have been crispier. Overall an amazing place. We also ordered a waffle on the side and it was perfect!! Their butter is very good. I don't know if they make it or buy it but it took the waffle and toast to the next level. I appreciate quality butter! I still would give it 4.5 stars for accuracy but I'll round up cause of amazing staff. Great place!“

“We're from the IE area, Norco would be our closest location. But coming here to Burbank to celebrate a birthday was like taking a step to the past. Beautiful 50's like decor location. Everything was Fabulous: the food, atmosphere, the service was impeccable. You will not be disappointed ? ? ? ? ? ?Parking: restaurant is near a coffee house, so parking area was sharedKid-friendliness: dynamic family atmosphere“

“This is my new go to place for all of my salads and healthier meal options. It always seems super quiet, so I hope that they are getting lots of business as I do not want this place to close down as the next closest place is Miles and Miles away.“

“We are out of town staying at a hotel near by and walked past this beautiful restaurant. It was a nice night so we sat outside under the fire lamps and it was absolutely beautiful.We were sat right away and a waitress came to us in a timely manner.I ordered the Cheesesteak Egg Rolls and they were delicious like a deconstructed cheesesteak sandwich served with a hot mustard, a chili sauce and I got a side of ranch. They were so delicious.My wife got a Cesar salad with salmon which was also very good and my son ordered a Hickory BBQ burger, his specific words were “wow” that’s a really good burger. I also ordered the watermelon lime seltzer and it was absolutely delicious. If you are in the area give this place a chance you won’t be disappointed.Parking: There is street parking but it seems to always be crowded and then there are parking garage.“

“Didn't take any pictures, but there's so much variety with this place! Next time I'm coming back, I'm definitely getting their $27 box of 6! Oh, and their dessert Nutella + Banana Empanada was really good! Sorry! No pics!“

“First of all, Ellie is the best server I have had in such a long time! I just loved her from the get go! Friendly, funny and efficient! 100 out of 10 for her part alone. My first time to the Tally Rand and we enjoyed it so much we came back the next morning to experience breakfast!Both were great! Delicious diner food served up fresh and fast! Great atmosphere and friendly service! You can tell it’s a locals hang as it has a family vibe! Our party of 6 loved it and took advantage of all the different offerings.“

“Step into 1946 here, where the owners care, and the food is handmade and delicious. Not the fastest food, but when did that become a priority, anyway? Thoughts like this pop into your head as you ponder the menu and soak in the horseshoe-bar ambience. Then, the food arrives and you are in heaven.Kid-friendliness: Great for kids. Fun to sit at the "bar," and plenty of options like hot dogs, fries, etc. and the pies and shakes....“

“Another awesome diner in Burbank. Open and serving good food all night, you have to try Coral. Whole menu is available all day. Staff is always friendly. Great bunch of people serving tasty food.Vegetarian options: Ask the staff. They can make almost any of their dishes vegetarian if you wish. Vegan, I'm not sure about.Parking: Free, large lot behind the restaurant. Free street parking is also available.“

“Going to the new deal is always a wonderful treat. The food is delicious. The staff are very kind and attentive and the atmosphere is very cozy yet lively.I will say that their salads are delicious, but the french fries are star spangled awesome, and the cakes, that are homemade by the team, are to die for!!?? Parking: Most areas around are 2 hour free street parking. Just mind the signs as there are street cleaning days! You might need to park further down the street as Magnolia is a popular place to be!“

“I needed a place to eat near St. Josephs Hospital. I found this restaurant where they were very friendly and the food was tasty and, above all, very abundant. The tortilla chips as a starter were complimentary, I ordered a lemonade and an asada burrito and rolled out of there.“

“This place has really good breakfast. Its usually not too busy so its perfect if you want to get away from the crazy crowds in Burbank. The place us to be an old Bobs Big Boy back in the day. Lots of free parking too! Ask for Modesto! Its family owned!“

“Fantastic, delicious hot dogs and sausages! The “Chili the Kid" Haus dog and "T-Mex" and "Old Town" Haus sausages were my favorites.This was one of our favorite places to eat in Burbank. The team is friendly and the restaurant is all-around great!If you are exploring Burbank, have just taken the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, or are simply looking for an excellent spot to share a meal and beers with friends, Dog Haus is a terrific choice.“

“My sister came here for breakfast.She has celiacs disease and there weren’t many options for gluten free alternatives.She ordered an egg and fruit, the fruit wasn’t great but the staff were very friendly.Dietary restrictions: Not much for gluten free.“

“The famous burger comes to the Burbank downtown area. A free parking garage nearby and about 3 minutes' walking distance. The restaurant is in wooden decoration with multiple ordering machines. I suppose there might be lack of labor so that all the staff are busy here. There are many customers at the rush hour of Saturday evening dinner time as I came. The limited Korean BBQ burger is great as is the spicy sauce with the traditional cheese, crispy onion and the beef!“

“I have dined hear often for Birthdays, Anniversaries, and just because I have a craving for red meat. Recently joined family for their 60th Brunch experience and wow, for the price it was exquisite, and very tasty. The low was the bloody mary and and mimosa, but those aren't typical. The one low that has been consistent the last few times I've gone including the brunch was their shrimp. It tastes old, and a bit mushy. I would stear far away from the shrimp, especially the shrimp cocktail. But that could be due to the nature of which it was served (Cowboy/Wagon Wheel sampler and Bloody Mary during a prix fixed meal).Their ribs, and the barbecue sauce is top notch. The rye bread and butter is a staple. If I don't take my wife, I always have to ask for one to go!Their steak and Filet Mignon, so good. The wedge salad is a must and the asparagus or brussel sprouts albeit hit or miss, are so good when they hit. I also suggest the baked potato soup!!! Bomb!!!Oh, and always, always polish the night off with a cowboy cookie. Bon appetit!“

“For a sports pub the food and service on point. Bartenders and servers are super attentive and deserve their tips. Cook hasn't let me down yet. Plenty of space to hang out after a game during the week of you are looking to hang with some teammates after a weeknight game. Give it a try and let me know your experience.“

“I can't say I have ever had a bad experience coming here. It is slightly expensive, but the food and drinks are definitely worth it. There is a lot of seating capacity especially for large parties. The staff are friendly and accommodating. It has a nice atmosphere as well.“

“My only complaint is that the atmosphere is too open— big open shared tables instead of couches or booths. And the beer was pricey.But the IRISH TACOS are FIRE!!!!! And our server was very friendly— she made great recommendations.Dietary restrictions: GF friendly!“

“My first st time here, I walked I felt I wasn't welcome. The lady's in the front were just talking to each other, I just passed bythem and sat down in the booth, and a waiter ask me for beverages and menu I has yes thank you. Food was delicious I enjoyed thank you for the guy waiter for serving me.“

“Our hotel (Hampton Inn) recommended we go here for drinks and food. It was amazing! Hannah was our waitress, she was so friendly and helpful. The food and drinks were amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. They have indoor or outdoor seating.“

“I discovered this place when I used to live in Burbank. I always go for burrito and it never fails me. The teriyaki bowls is my other option when I want something heavier for lunch.I don’t live in Burbank anymore, but I still go when I’m close to the area. I just love this place and I respect the staff who wakes up early in the morning to serve the community and keep doing what they do everyday.“

“I used to go to islands all the time with family, my fiancée and I went the other night and the service was as I remembered . Very swift and the staff was very friendly also welcoming. The food did not disappoint at all either , enjoyed a burger with the famous cheese fries and that hit the spot with some good beers and good sports on the tv . I would definitely rate this location 10/10 and will be returning due to how great the service was . Good on ya islands thank you !“

“A group of 6 mature women stumbled at Hiltop after Castaway couldn't accommodate us and we called Hiltop before going back down to the city. Well, they did and it was a beautiful experience: From the beginning the associates were welcoming and helpful from beginning to end. Food was great! Prices super reasonable . It's a wonderful and beautiful place for a casual lunch. We'll be back for sure.“

“This is a great place to grab a bite to eat. Especially if you just come from riding your horse at the equestrian center. Even if you don’t have a horse this is a great place to grab a bite to eat. You can eat indoors or outdoors and it’s a casual atmosphere.“

“Great great experience! Our server Wyatt was awesome! We came to celebrate my husband's birthday, and the whole experience was excellent. Everything came out quickly, but we were not rushed. Was able to enjoy the beautiful sunset across the San Fernando Valley. We'll definitely be back!Vegetarian options: Their Crispy Tofu and Broccoli was amazing!Kid-friendliness: Saw other families with kids. Pretty kids friendly.“

“Mannnnnnn… this is one of the best Tito Dirty Martinis I’ve ever had… cold, extra olives and… cold. Did I mention cold? It has ice crystals in it, it’s so cold. This is my first time at this hotel and bar. Very impressed with the bartender Denise! She puts her heart and soul into making a very balanced drink! Started with icing down the glass (a critical step)... Sooo Good. Anyone can make a martini, but hard to make an awesome one. Well done Hilton Garden Inn, Burbank and staff!“
