Broken compass is one of my favorite restaurants in the valley. Not only is the themed decor amazing and detailed and so fun, the staff are so friendly, but the big thing is this is seriously some of the best food around! Their menu is the perfect size but seriously it's like some gourmet super talented chefs back there wow everything is perfect! The drinks are amazing and strong too - recommend their blended drinks and if you really wanna have a wild night get the Sailors Grog which they limit to two per person haha

Amazing all around. I’ve lived in Burbank for 30 years and can’t believe I’m just discovering this place. The drinks are excellent—the espresso martini was one of the best I’ve ever had. The Spam sliders, spicy Caesar salad, and miso deviled eggs are must-haves. I’ll definitely be back again this week.

What a great place! I had the pork tacos and a Banana Hammock drink. The pork tacos had pineapple and were so flavorful. Yummy! The banana drink was delicious and frothy and had a couple banana chips at the bottom. We also had the deviled eggs and the little popcorn chicken bites. Everything we ate was so delicious. The staff was friendly and we had excellent service. The decorations, the lighting, the sounds, everything here is what you would want in a perfect Tiki bar restaurant.

One of our favorite tiki bars in LA! Great food and drinks, we’ve been going for years and it’s been amazing to see Broken Compass develop its “lore” - truly a LA staple! Bartenders and staff are also super cool too. Sometimes service can be a little slow, it’s definitely a place to soak in the vibes and take your time enjoying a mai tai.
It is a very interesting place. The bartender was great and really attentive to try to make the drink of my choice. They did not have a wide variety of drinks but they try to accommodate. The inside was dark and dirty looking. It really needs some brightening up, some beach scenery, tiki torches, a hut like atmosphere, palm trees, some life. It looks really dim & dead. Glad to enjoy such a great bartender.

The Cesar salad is the best! It spicy but only because of the garlic anchovy forward too! If you’ve been looking for a Cesar with a kick, you must try it! Everything else is amazing too! Painkillers!!!!!!

*DOUBLE CHARGED* This is a very cool tiki bar that has a fairly decent happy hour (what I went for). The decor is on point, the drinks are delish, food is great & nearly all the staff is super friendly. I’d actually give it 5 stars except for one caveat and it was significant .. I was double charged by over $170 on my debit card and the only way to rectify it was to drive BACK to the restaurant the next day (I don’t live in the same city). Once I realized, I immediately went to call but there is *NO* phone number anywhere and the only way to contact them is via an email portal on their site. Seeing as they had charged my debit card over $300 ($150 and then the overcharge $174) .. I had no choice but to drive there as this is quite a large amount that I needed back asap... I spoke w the manager/co-owner Frank, and only after I had “proven” the error (he couldn’t figure it out on his end), he refunded it & said to expect it back in my acct in 3/4 biz days (it was a Saturday). I reiterated how much this was a problem for me bc it was the wkend and he basically just said ‘oops, yeah .. sorry, nothing else we can do.’ .. there wasn’t much sincerity behind it, in fact it almost felt as if I’d inconvenienced him, not the other way around.. like c’mon, you’re holding $174 of mine until sometime next week and it’s your mistake which my only choice was to drive back here, the very least he could’ve done as a kind gesture was to offer a free drink or appetizer the next time. I guess they have enough business they just don’t care if I ever come back or not.

Good drinks and interesting menu with lots of tropical takes on comfort food
