“We LOVE coming to Big Jim's! Great restaurant with delicious food! The service is unmatched, Hugo and Diana always help us when we come in and they are always on top of the service. All the servers are amazing. We recommend the avocado turkey melt, all the breakfast items, and definitely need to try the carrot cake for dessert! Hugo #1“

“Visiting LA this week and had a fab time at the Clark Street Diner, excellent food😋“

“Such a wonderful vegan oasis in the San Fernando Valley! As locals know vegan offerings in the valley are limited compared with the rest of the city. I am so happy that I found this place I will be coming here often! Great food and atmosphere all around!“

“Quality food, service and relaxed environment. Totally understated as the staff assist where needed with a minimum of fuss as we enjoyed the experience.“

“We have been going to Horses ever since they opened since it’s right in our neighborhood. The most friendly staff with a big shout out to Amanda. The most amazing craft cocktails and absolutely delicious food. I think we’ve almost tried everything on the menu and have not been disappointed once. Can be hard to get a reservation, but we usually get there at 5:15 and are able to sit at the bar with no problem.“

“My brother and I had the most amazing night of superb jazz and food this past Sunday, entertained by Betty Bryant and ensemble. Her fingers moved like liquid gold on the keyboard and her compositions were witty and mesmerizing. The word that kept coming to mind as they performed was "subtle." The music was powerful, but so discrete as to be gentle and gentile. Woodwinds, Bass, and Drums - all played with the kind of delight that makes everyone love the performers as well as the music. As for food, one dish stood out particularly: the creamed spinach with blue cheese. Please tell Chef I would love that recipe! I'm back home in Tennessee now and plan to attempt to copy it, but having the authentic recipe to serve to friends when we entertain would be over the top! Can't wait to visit my brother in LA again and return to Herb Alpert's Vibrato Grill, Jazz, Etc. Just wow! And Thank You!“

“The fact this didn’t pop up for best restaurants in Burbank when searching google and TikTok is a travesty. This was phenomenal in every way and the owner genuinely seems to enjoy what he does. Everything is made in house including their sauces, the meat they used is displayed. If houses around here didn’t cost 1M I’d move here and eat this every day.

P.S. House sauce is amazing and the images pictured is the classic smash burger with an extra patty and the pastrami burger (which the wife loved)“

“My cousin and I came here on a Friday evening around 6:30 PM and were pleasantly surprised that we were seated right away with no reservation. The vibe was beautiful from the moment we walked in. The lighting was cute, there was a pool in the center of the space, and everyone was dressed up which added to the atmosphere without feeling too formal.
The staff were very friendly and welcoming from the start with lots of smiles and easy conversation. Our waiter was incredibly kind and genuine. The only issue was that he forgot to put in our order the first time so he had to come back and take it again. When the food came out he forgot a few things but he seemed a bit overwhelmed so maybe it was just a busy night.
The food came out very fast and it was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was flavorful and beautifully presented. The menu had so many good options that it honestly took me a while to decide what to get because I wanted to try everything.
Overall it was a great experience. There were a few bumps in service but the overall vibe and quality of the food more than made up for it. I would definitely come back.“

“This little hidden gem!!! Food was AMAZING! Fried chicken, candied yams, greens, macaroni and cheese, beef ribs...all were delicious! We live in Ventura County and drove to the San Fernando Valley to check this place out. It was worth the drive.
The food takes 20-25 minutes to be served and I am petfectly fine with that because it it made to order. Check them out. The owner is very attentive and provides great service!“

“The artistic name of the bistro matches the artistry and delicious flavors of the cuisine. A threesome: vegetarian, vegan, and carnivore found a multitude of savory options. Our waiter/thesbian: Chris was charming and anticipated our every request. Foreseeing a return.“

“Exellent !!!!!!! Good service !!!!“

“I’m visiting For the Win right after a visit from my nephew at the children’s hospital. I was hungry there was no line at service counter, I asked to check out the bacon and Natalie kindly showed me the quality. Nothing beats a good offer and fresh fries are my favorite“

The cocktails, burger, and dessert menu were particularly great, I loved the wine selections as well. We definitely plan on returning ASAP.“

“I ate here late on a Friday night, and the food was incredible! I got the Banger with tater tots, and everything was delicious. The tots are seasoned and come with a green chile sauce and ketchup. The sandwich was hot, cheesy, and so flavorful. I loved the crispy shallots! There are only 4 seats inside, so there might not be seating if you go at a busy time. The employees were all friendly and the overall atmosphere was bright and fun. This place is a gem!“

“One of my absolute favorites from home. The best staff ever, amazing food and more. My final meal before moving to Texas was here shared with great friends and family. Flying back next month for the first time since I moved a year ago and ALREADY a meal or two here has been in the group text!“

“We love Charlie & Friends! Delicious food, friendly people, and a lovely atmosphere. The patio is wonderful. Dogs are welcome and it is child friendly. We love the secluded location and the ample parking. So glad we found it!“

“Good food, nice vibe, cool crowd. Very friendly and attentive service for Brunch on a very rainy day.“

“EXCELLENT experience!!! We went here for my birthday dinner and not only was the food delicious and fresh, but the service was INCREDIBLE. We ordered one small drink, the burrata, meatballs, and tagliatelle, and our waitress (Kristin?) also brought us a comped cauliflower just because she wanted us to try her favorite thing. I forgot names, so sorry, but we interacted with a hostess, our main waitress, and another girl who were all so sweet and kind. They also ended up bringing us out an extra penne dish (not pictured). My daughter ordered the seasonal sorbet (peach-blood orange), and then they also brought me out a scoop of housemade vanilla ice cream to top off my birthday celebration. The service we received was really spectacular.

We would absolutely go back, even without the freebies.“

“Beautiful setting, fantastic service, and food was incredible! Highly recommend.“

“Great food, service and ambiance. The best bartenders!“

“Amazing dining experience. Our server had a great deal of knowledge about food items and was able to make appropriate recommendations for all of us. We loved the ambience and everyone's meal was cooked perfectly. We will definitely be back. “

“Great food, Great outside patio. Counter service is good, once you get your food though best not expect anything else in terms of service. We asked for the heater to be turned on and some ketchup...still waiting. This has been my experience pretty much everytime.“

“I like to dine solo and I know some places generally don’t vibe with that, so I keep a little of that in mind when I go somewhere new. I tried Linden last night because I’ve been craving some high-quality food that reminds me of home in the Bronx.

Let’s start with the good stuff. The food was crazy delicious. If I could buy the Sunset Salad prepackaged and eat it daily, I would! It had different textures, a little sweetness, some tartness, and the creamy flavor of the goat cheese that just made it impossible to leave anything left in the bowl. For my main, I had the Lobster Frites. It was good, but idk if it was $88 good. Plus I asked for something to go with the fries and they charged me an extra $4 for that. I was surprised by that because any sort of frites just normally with a sauce. They also didn’t have proper utensils for the lobster, which was not awesome. I made the best of it I could, but I feel like they should have been better prepared. My dessert was the bread pudding and it was special. I was doing my happy food dance most of the night despite the hiccups.

My server was okay, but it did seem like she didn’t really want to deal with me as a solo diner. I never even heard the specials and all of my drinks were empty by the time my dessert came out. She never once asked if I wanted anything more to drink. I dropped $200 by myself and it probably would’ve been more if I had been treated as kindly as any other groups there.

Overall, I’d recommend Linden, even if my service experience wasn’t the best. Maybe just go with someone else, so they treat you better.“

“I will always rave about The Melt. This is my go to spot. The Mac and cheese is to die for, the sandwiches are incredible, the garlic parmesan fries omg don’t even get me started. They also have great milkshakes and the chill atmosphere is an added bonus.“

“Great place to network! Perfect local Go to place after work or meet new business links and more.“

“Try the carrots! You’ll thank me later!“

“Hollywood's Best & Most Consistent Food & Drinks by far!“

“Burger was good. For some reason, not as good as it used to be a few months ago tastewise. Bun, was unfortunately soggy as usual.

Staff there is fantastic, WELL TRAINED and is attentive. It's your customers' needs all of the time, so I know they're trained properly, as I have been a corporate trainer for restaurant chains.

Would be great if they stopped cooking fries & chips with deadly seed oils and used Healthy Beef Tallow instead. If they truly care - I'm certain they'll get their act together soon.

And I hope that they stop making the buns so soft that the beef, patty, it causes it to be very soggy.

Some people think that's the way a burger. It's supposed to be, but it's not. I've made plenty avergers at home, that are never soggy. Even when we ordered the buns well toasted, they still wind up soggy, half the time.“

“Great service, food and drinks. We usually go for dinner. Also ordered in twice and it was great. We also love Tallyrand’s history. #supportsmallbusiness“

“We are visiting town from Texas and ran across Irvs burgers in Balboa. Service was friendly and quick. Breakfast burritos was perfect and the patty melt was amazing. Definitely recommend the chili cheese fries as well. The manager was friendly and welcoming! Thank you for your hospitality, quick eat, and delicious ice ice cream!“

“Looks like a nice hotel with great service.“

“I was recommended to Nati’s by a friend. The menu is diverse & serves every craving you have when hungry! I just love Mexican food & these cooks have a gift! There’s a nice mix of Oaxaca & Jalisco in the food! The Nopales breakfast & salsas are excellent! Must try! Definitely coming back for more!!!“

“First time here and we loved it. The throwback steakhouse vibe stays close to its roots and provides a really nice atmosphere. We were looking to go casual and had the Wagyu burger and it was phenomenal. Mix in great cocktails, friendly and efficient service and a strong dessert menu and this gets an easy 5 starts. As a staple in the valley for over 75 years, it shows they’re obviously doing a lot of things right. If you’re anywhere near The Valley Inn, do yourself a favor and get in there ASAP!“

“This gem is located on The Blvd of Cars in Glendale. They have great lunch specials Monday - Friday. We have been here a lot recently when our car is being serviced at Star Ford down the street. Tony the bartender is super nice with a great personality.“

“beautiful setting Brite and good food“
