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.“

“Food is back on79 Bar delicious burgers“

“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!“

“Horrible food. Over priced and gross. Do not recommend. No flavor and what I ordered was definitely not what it was supposed to be. 🤮“

“Great food, fast service and good prices highly recommended!“

“Great food great people all and all the place is great“

“By far the best 🍔 I’ve ever had! The fusion of flavors 🤯“

“My favorite restaurant in the world. Seriously. Hands down. When I go to Chicago, I am making reservations at the Purple Pig for at least two of the nights. Bone marrow and pig ears are a must. But you can’t go wrong. Did I mention it’s my favorite?“

“Gilt Bar "gets it". A foodies playground. Top notch flavor and beautiful decor throughout. The Ron Zacapa 23 Rum is 🤌🏾 Oh, and don't forget to take a few pics in the photo booth downstairs 📸“

“A shout out for Ever in the latest season of The Bear prompted me to come back and write this review. My partner and I came here a year ago from the UK whilst in Chicago for a friend's wedding, which also coincided with my partner's 30th birthday.

It was unbelievably special. From the moment we walked in there it was an experience. It started with eating a deep fried lychee off the ceiling, and ended with being taken through a coat cupboard and into a secret passageway ending up in After, the sister bar. The food was, as expected, outstanding. I had an asparagus dish so good it has ruined all other asparagus for me for life. Each course was creative, unique, and like nothing I've had before. We were amazingly looked after - when we spoke to our waiter about how far we'd come, she arranged for a kitchen tour. A signed personalised menu was given to us with a happy birthday message on it, and a take on a chocolate cake was brought out with a candle (in addition to the 2 other desert courses!). Of course it does not come cheap, but the sense of occasion made it all worth it - they know this is something their guests to do not do regularly, and they make sure every tiny detail is one to remember.

We still talk about this dinner all the time.“

“Absolutely delicious!! Can't wait to come back“

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

“The food was very good. But this is definitely a place where you are paying for excellent and it was not quite that. Appetizers and desert were great, wine list as well. But the salmon I had for my main was underwhelming—the marinade was far too heavy on the fish sauce.“

“10/10 experience with Eddie! Had a birthday event for some friends and he was super helpful and accommodating! Definitely would recommend this place! Can’t wait to come back!“

“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!“

“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?“

“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.“

“Great food, ambiance and service. 👍“

“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.“

“Fantastic from start to finish.“

“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!“

“My family went to a concert at Soldier Field. We had time to kill so we went to get dinner at the Firehouse Restaurant. They were amazing. No reservation and brought our 6 year old. They had a designated dining room on the lower level for concert goers showcasing music from the concert and using the screen to feature the performer. They were so kind to my
kid. Gave him a special tour of the elevator. I was so grateful for the service and the food. And having immaculate bathrooms before a 5 hour concert was invaluable! Loved it!“

“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!“

“good to sit and foods also good“

“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.“

“What an amazing experience, will be back.“

“Lou Mitchell's absolutely lives up to its reputation. The restaurant has a classic diner feel—bustling, full of conversation, and a fun, energetic atmosphere. Even though it was busy, the host was organized and efficient, and we were seated quickly.

Our waiter was friendly and attentive, and the food arrived hot with generous portion sizes. The grilled cheese was outstanding, with perfectly buttery, crisp bread and gooey melted cheese. The open-faced Reuben was loaded with thinly sliced meat and full of flavor. No fatty bits either. Everything was fresh, satisfying, and exactly what you'd hope for from a classic Chicago diner.

If you're looking for a lively breakfast or lunch spot with great service and hearty food, Lou Mitchell's is definitely worth a visit.“

“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“

“great food Good service excellent place“

“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!“

“The food and the services is amazing! Will always be one of my favorite spots to eat!“

“Beautiful hotel and clean.Foods delicious.Highly recommend“

“Chef Max Robbins has created a wonderful menu, everything we tasted was very good and very unique.“

“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:(.“

“The sweet sixteen is a must have!!!!!“

“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!“

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

“This place is hands down the best restaurant in the city. The food is unreal good I mean like go out for milk and never come back good. The head partner chef Joe Rizza is a Jedi in the kitchen and an absolute class act. He always makes time to come say hi when we stop in. Main reason why I like going. Besides the fact that the prices r normal but the food is anything but. #amazing love the location love the vibe u have to go“

“Really nice place for real good food. My family and I stopped in after a trip into town for an escape room. We had the foghorn chicken sandwich, burger, mashed pot and gravy, tenders, nuggets, and fries. The burger and mashed we're recommended by staff and were terrific.
Everything was delicious, hot, and fresh. Recommend if you're looking for awesome food at a great price too.“

“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.“
