50 Best American Restaurants near Burbank

“I placed an order to go. Was informed that there was a $3.00 to go charge and a gratuity would be added on the order cause it was over $100.00. After I checked the receipt, $18.35 was the gratuity. I thought it would be maybe $5.00. Very disappointed. Had I known this, I would have come into the restaurant and ate there had them provide me with service. I am a senior and that was definetly not right. I've already instructed my family not to get me gift card from Maple and Jam.“

“A very creative kitchen serves up surprising dishes in every course, even dessert, where many restaurants just go through the motions. They also serve up cocktails that you are not likely to see anywhere else. What comes as no surprise, is that they are a Michelin starred restaurant.“

“soy de puerto rico es la primera vez que los visito y fue la mejor experiencia gastronómica de todo mi viaje en este espectacular restaurante, El gerente MIGUEL excelenteeeee el mejorrrrrr gerente, servicio de excelencia 100%, el trato fue increible ademas de Luis que fue sin duda alguna mas que excelente tambien.

“Loved the shrimp cocktail! The patio is romantic! My ribeye was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The whipped potatoes are delicious. The staff is attentive. My husband enjoyed his grits. You won’t be disappointed.“

“Have never had a bad meal here. Service is top notch for such a busy spot.“

“We had high hope for this place and it started out fine. However, everything fall apart in the two main courses. The pork cheek was so overwhelmingly salty, it ruined all the taste and memories from the previous dishes. And the Wagyu preparation was the worst in all the places we have had it. The evening starts with sweeter notes and to match it with wine pairing, they had to serve a Tokaji. And then again we were served a sweeter wine at the end with the desserts. This sweet, super salty and then sweet taste failed to set a theme for the courses. Beginning courses were beautifully plated. Overall, it did not reach the level of expectations. One a side note, the service was very good, however many times it felt robotic. Like in future, if you are served by robots, it will be like that. Two people will come, and synchronize to place and take you plates at the same time. The feel of awkwardness is there. The ambience was the best though.“

“I went for a friends graduation brunch, and it was definitely a hopping spot in the city, and I can see the appeal for the rooftop views alone, but I think it’s a bit overpriced for what you’re getting in my opinion. I had the biscuits and gravy ($25) which was fine but also strange in that it tasted more like a chowder than gravy. I also got the chocolate chip cookies which were and came in an order of 3 for $12. As I said, a bit overpriced for cookies, but actually felt worth it for their size and deliciousness. Of course, part of why you’re coming here is for the views and this place did not disappoint! Despite it being a very hot day outside, there was a good crowd out there especially because there’s a bar on the patio as well. And even though it was very busy throughout the entire time there, my party and I had fairly consistent service, although I did have my drink order forgotten, but the server ended up comping me for it, which made up for it.“

“Good food, good variety. R&B classics playing in the background. What more could you ask?“

“We came to celebrate my husband’s birthday last night. The service was great and the food was perfect. If we ever come back to town this will be a must do. We weren’t sure what to expect since his brother planned the dinner but I couldn’t have asked for anything better.“

“We are visiting from Indiana and my husband, myself and our toddler had a wonderful experience! Our food was great and came very quickly. Our pomegranate margaritas were delicious. My husband ordered a side of bacon to go with his salad and the kitchen took the extra step to cut it up for him when they didn't have to. And while the restaurant is an upscale mature environment, they were extremely accommodating to our toddler and were so very friendly and warm to our family. From the hosts, to our waiter, to each employee who passed by everyone was so warm and welcoming. We will 100% return!“

“The Chew was an amazing restaurant! Not only was the food amazing but the owners, Linda and Landy, and the staff were spectacular! We miss it so much! Truly an icon in our community!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Sweet Maple Cafe in the 9th District, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share my experience! The food was absolutely incredible—each bite was a delightful treat. A special shoutout to Twilla, the manager, and her wonderful staff, who made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality. Supporting our local businesses is so important, and Sweet Maple Cafe is a shining example of the quality and care we have in our community. I highly recommend stopping by for a meal—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Best place to eat in Chicago! I started going there when the owner became a client of the company I was working for in the mid-90s, setting up cash registers in the restaurant he opened for his nephew. I no longer live in Chicago, but make it a point to stop there and speak with the owner every chance I get. Always great food and exceptional service! You may have to wait in line, though. Understandably, it's a very popular place!“

“Girl & the Goat completely exceeded my expectations! very good food“

“Absolutely incredible experience!
We came in to celebrate a milestone, and the staff went above and beyond. The food was exceptional, the service was outstanding, and the atmosphere made the night truly memorable. A special shoutout to Shannon, the GM, for making us feel so welcomed and cared for.

I highly recommend The Chicago Firehouse Restaurant — not just for their exquisite food, but for their exceptional team and service.“

“Great food, ambiance and service. 👍“

“Although I hear they have good smashburgers had a taste for wings. It's rare to find places that will give you the whole wing. Only downside, I wish they were a little bigger and on the online menu it pictured it came with coleslaw. It did come with fries that were nice and crispy. Overall, the meal was good and hot by the time I made it back home.“

“Food was great. Seated right away. The new age music doesn't fit the vibe, other than that. all was good..“

“We recently got married at The Elm this past weekend (10/13/2024) and can't express in words how satisfied we were with their service. Starting from the first day that we went to see The Elm we were treated with the upmost respect and professionalism. We had our ceremony in the Kensington room, and our reception in the Madison room. The atmosphere and vibe of both rooms was everything that we could hope for. The staff was incredible, the food/drinks were AMAZING, and our guests had nothing but positive feedback. WE HIGHLY RECOMMED THIS PLACE FOR A WEDDING AND/OR ANY OTHER EVENT.“

“Amazing food. Great atmosphere. What more can be said?“

“WOW! I cannot recommend this place enough! From the amazing drinks and food, to the friendly and attentive staff! Kelley is such an asset to First Draft, she recommended great food options, and remembered our drinks from the day before. She greeted us with the biggest smile, and made sure we were taken care of like family. Such an A++ employee - give her a raise!“

“We have been to Melinda’s a couple times now and we absolutely love this place!!!! The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is amazing! Great live music on the weekends and trivia night was fun as well!“

“Stopped for the first time and it was a great experience despite waiting to be seated which is to be expected for the quality of food they serve. It was also a Saturday. The server was great! He would make sure we were well taken care of and recommended items from the menu since I couldn’t decide from the great variety menu that they offer. I will definitely be going again soon.“

“Been enjoying their food since they were near Austin blvd! Food is always hot and fresh! “D” the cook is the best! She is always
calm and cool cooking the food just the way
we like it! Appreciate the good food and service!“

“We had a great time at City Winerry- great food and great service, but I especially want to give a huge shoutout to one of the staff members, Belinda, who went above and beyond during a recent show. When an unexpected situation came up with a guest who wasn’t feeling well, she immediately stepped in with professionalism, care, and compassion. She quickly got the guest to a safe place, made sure they were comfortable, and even stayed by their side until family could arrive. It was clear she genuinely cared and handled everything with calmness and kindness.
It’s not often you see that level of dedication and empathy, and it made a lasting impression. City Winery is lucky to have an employee like her, and I’m grateful for the way she handled the situation. Truly outstanding service, Belinda! You deserve recognition and a raise!“

“Beautiful food. Always a good experience“

“great food, atmosphere and service. A great value!“

“This is a neighborhood staple! Good food great people!“

“Today I visited Taste 222 with my high school friend and I have to say, the atmosphere was fantastic—warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed dining experience. The service was mostly attentive, which made for a pleasant visit. However, when it came to the food, I was disappointed. I ordered the Southern Catfish Combo, expecting a hearty meal, but what I received didn’t match the advertised portion. Instead of two full pieces of catfish, it was just one filet cut in half, which felt misleading. Unfortunately, my experience was further dampened by an interaction with one of the waiters. While handing us our takeout boxes, he went out of his way to avoid any contact with our hands, which felt uncomfortably intentional. Moments like this can leave a lasting impression, and it was disappointing to experience such behavior in an otherwise well-regarded establishment. Overall, while the ambiance was great, the food and certain aspects of the service left much to be desired. I hope to give them another try in the future under better circumstances.“

“This is my second time here at The Vig and i must say the service here is outstanding. Huge thank you to Dawn and Mel for their customer service. I fell in love with their Cookie Dough Cinnamon Roll my first time coming here. Unfortunately it’s no longer on the menu as they’ve made some recipe changes but the Killer Skillet and the McDowell Burger was absolutely outstanding! Whoever reads this review and is deciding on whether they should come here or not…do yourself a favor and just come. You won’t be disappointed!“

“This was such a great place for us! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel very welcome and pleasant. Our lunch arrived promptly, was served hot, and was great. The entire area has a cozy, joyful vibe. We had a great time and are forward to go again soon!“

“Their amazing cheeseburger. My favorite of all time.“

“The atmosphere is nice. The food and drinks are delicious and the service was on point.“
