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.“

“We hired Big Joe's for our farm wedding and the food and professionalism was incredible! Joe was easy to work with and provided great service before, during, and after the event. Our guests have been raving about the food and we can't wait to host another large event so that we can work with Big Joe's again!“

“We finally got to check this place out. Located next to Mon Ami Gabi, you enter through the magnificent lobby. Inside is decorated sparsely but with warmth. We sat near the window for brunch and it was not at all busy at Saturday 10am. It’s probably not the first pick for brunch since their menu is not heavily focused on egg dishes (but they featured baked goods trays which I promised myself to try when I bring a larger family here). They relocated to this new space last fall but I had not really noticed from outside in my walks. The menu is very Asian-fusion and food was high quality and creative. I preferred theirs to North Pond actually. Theirs have more flavor overall. We ordered Maine Lobster Dumplings, Warm Mushroom Salad (this was a hit. I’m going to try to recreate the roasted mushroom at home) and truffle croquettes, pork noodle served in Korean earthen pot and salmon tartine. The first two dishes are really memorable flavors. They were generous with Mimosa and J enjoyed Mezcal shots each with pickle brine and watermelon. Think dirty martini but with more zing! which I appreciated. We want to come back for their happy hour and try other dishes. So glad to find this gem today. Service was prompt and with smiles.“

“I love this American restaurant, the food is delicious, satisfying and enjoyable. I especially love the burgers and fries, they are freshly made and very authentic. In addition, the environment here is also very comfortable and spacious, which makes people feel very relaxed and happy. The waiters are also very friendly and welcoming, they always greet guests with a smile and provide many useful tips and recommendations. All in all, this is a very good American restaurant and I will come here often to enjoy the food and time.“

“I was blown away by the performers and the fashion, not to mention the beautifully decorated space! A truly magical experience!“

“We had the most special and incredible experience at Ever! They truly understand how to make each diner feel like a guest of honor. The Ever team has created an atmosphere of deep respect not only for the food, but also for both the people who make it and those who come to eat it. My partner and I were astounded by everything we had in the best way, and truly felt a sense of reverence around each dish. The service was perfectly attentive and kind, and I loved getting to meet so many different members of the service team with the presentation of each dish. We couldn’t stop talking about this meal for the rest of our time in Chicago, and it will be an amazing memory to look back on for years to come. I highly recommend Ever if you’re looking for an experience that perfectly balances both the beauty and the taste of food.“

“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.“

“Astonishing as always. Thanks Billy Lawless for making my proposal to my wife celebrated at your restaurant 10 years ago, very special.“

“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!“

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

“Great food, ambiance and service. 👍“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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 was there for 74th birthday with my family. Our latino waiter,Bryan is Excellent.
Professional, friendly, personable. He presented the menu expertly. He took good care of us. Enjoyed being with my family, but he made it even more wonderful for me. Thank you Bryan and staff“

“Came here on a Sunday evening and the food plus the service was amazing. A+. The owner recommended i try the Dubai style paratha smash and it did not disappoint. We also had the mushroom Swiss and jalepeno smash those were amazing as well. It’s a 50 minute drive for me to get here and I can’t wait to go back.“

“Fantastic from start to finish.“

“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.“

“From the moment you walk into the Tortoise Supper Club, you know you are in for an extraordinary dining experience. The ambiance is elegant and sophisticated, setting the stage for a meal that truly feels like a special occasion. The evening began with the most amazing hand-crafted Old Fashioned’s. The balance of spirits and bitters was perfect, a testament to the skill of the bartender. It was a drink to be savored, and it set the tone for the impeccable quality to come. Next, the oysters were out of this world—fresh, briny, and served with a delicate presentation of mignonette that highlighted their natural flavor. But the true star of the show was the King's Cut prime rib. It was absolutely mouth-watering, cooked to perfection, and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was rich and full of flavor. Our server, Jorge M., was the epitome of excellent service. He was super attentive throughout the entire meal, anticipating our needs without being intrusive. He made us feel like kings, elevating the dining experience to a whole new level. The combination of incredible food, fantastic drinks, and unparalleled service makes Tortoise Supper Club a must-visit destination.“

“Beautiful food. Always a good experience“

“WOW! I cannot recommend this place enough! From the amazing drinks and food, to the friendly and attentive staff!

Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Recommend if you're looking for awesome food at a great price too.“

“We saw Stem Powered Giraffe here. Staff were overworked but still attentive and thoughtful. We were also celebrating my birthday so they brought me a mini cookie cake with ice cream and whipped cream. They even added a candle that was lit. So sweet!!!“

“I’ll start by giving kudos to whoever does your social media marketing, It’s definitely what got me in the building! The food was great. The service and atmosphere were great. The waitress was attentive and offered good suggestions. The thing I didn’t like was looking up only to have dog dining right across from me. This is not an outside, not cheaply priced establishment…the canine was not appreciated:(.“

“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.“

“It’s part of history and the burgers were simple but good!“
