    Spicy ribs
    Carol R.

    Stopped in for a late lunch on a Saturday around 3 p.m. and the place was not packed. We even got a parking spot. It's a plain table-and-chairs type of establishment. You order at the register and the food is brought to you. I hate when they ask for a tip before you are served, and this place does just that. Hubby tipped 15%. Service involved having our food brought to our table. There are no garbage cans; you can't clear your leftover mess. You leave it. So, they deserve a tip. We had a pulled pork sandwich, a steak sandwich, ribs, a sample platter, and chicken salad. Sides included sweet potato fries, cole slaw, and onion rings. All were very good. The ribs were so spicy we thought they were Jamaican-jerk style. My daughter, who ordered them, was not pleased. Hubby and I ate most of them. I loved the chicken salad with apples, not so sure about the mustard, but it was OK. Lunch for 5 with sides, beverages, tax, and tip was $126.

    Brisket Breakfast Burrito
    AndyMike E.

    My friend has been coming here for years and she finally broke the secret by inviting my husband and I. We came on a Saturday morning at 10AM. A third of the tables were taken and there was only 3 parties ahead of us in line to order. There is ample outdoor seating (some shaded in the vine-covered pergola), which is great for dogs and watching horses trotting by. There are about a dozen tables inside if you wanted to escape the elements. The only drawback is the limited parking. This place reminds me of East Austin - rustic, converted spaces turned into a dinette or cafe. And, the service reflect the laid-back atmosphere - counter ordering, beverages you pick up at an adjacent counter before sitting, food delivered to tables by order number placards, and self-service leftover boxes. The cashier was friendly and the bussers chatted with regular customers & smiled often. I ordered the Brisket Breakfast Burrito - tender smoked brisket with egg, cheese, beans and hash browns rolled into a grilled tortilla. I could have done without the beans and a side of sour cream along with the side of salsa would have made the dish perfect for my preferences. My husband had the Mom's Biscuits and Gravy - pepper gravy over crumbly & buttery biscuits, flavorful chopped sausage, and instead of eggs they allowed a substitution of fresh cut fruit. The diced seasoned breakfast potatoes were really yummy too. As a sharable side, I ordered the Parm Garlic Fries - crispy thin-cut wide fries that was the perfect vehicle for the salty parm, fragrant garlic, and herbaceous rosemary and basil blend. The only downside was the fries arrived warm, not hot (probably cooling at the pass while the runner waited for another entree). I'd order it again with the request for extra crispy fries. I also enjoyed the cold brew coffee that packed a lovely amount of caffeine. My husband liked the peach arnold palmer a lot - it was well mixed and sweet. As we sat inside, we watched the steady line grow while was enjoyed the meal and caught up with you dear friend (2 hours long). A former spin class buddy who my friend hadn't seen in 7 years happened to be there too, so this place really felt like a welcoming, neighborhood spot. By the way, my friend ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla, which looked really good and well stuffed. I look forward to coming here again...and definitely on the earlier side to ensure the line is short.

    Chorizo Skillet, Chai Latte
    Sarah L.

    Recently, I had Sunday breakfast at Basecamp Dinette with a friend, who previously dined here and recommended it. We parked nearby and arrived at around 9:15am. There was a queue, but it moved quickly. We ordered at the counter and picked-up our drinks there as well. After finding a table, our food came out in about 15 minutes. The service was fast & friendly, and the ambiance is casual & homey. For my entree, I ordered the Chorizo Skillet with a sunny side up egg ($15.99). The skillet was flavorful and filling. It came with a side of corn tortillas, which were warm, but stuck together in the foil, making them hard to pull apart. The skillet can be sharable, so I ate half and took the rest home. There were self-serve takeout containers by the entrance of the restaurant. For my drink, I ordered a hot Chai Latte ($5.00). Unfortunately, their steamer wasn't working at the time, so I had to get it iced. It was fragrant, but a tad too sweet and milky for me.

    Came here for coffee and a quick breakfast with friends. A lot of people stop by to grab some coffee and a pastry before headed to work. It filters through pretty quickly. Their pastries were the star of this place. So many I wanted to try but I had their homemade biscuit and I've been thinking about it for days. Other than that had their latte which was solid and their English muffin breakfast sandwiches that were tasty. Quick, easy, solid all around. There are a few tables inside but seemed more like a grab and go place. They have a parking lot but street parking is also available.

    Great local hidden brunch spot. Parking felt super easy and the style was casual and dog friendly! I would come back here again. The coffee was really good and it's an easy place to eat at. It felt super busy but not packed. I'm sure on the weekend it can get pretty packed so I do think be prepared hahah! The food was solid!

    Breakfast Burrito
    Andrew C.

    Tried this place out near my work and I really kiked the overall vibe. They serve both food and coffee which is great for a lunch break. The breakfast burrito was pretty good, and the coffee tasted great! Only complaint was that it took a long time for the food to come out and they weren't that busy. I did have to check in eventually to ask how much longer I had to wait for my order. The coffee itself came out quickly which I appreciated!

    We visited base camp dinette after a morning at Griffith Park. Finding parking was a breeze. There was a long line but it moved quickly and it gave us time to look through the menu. They have an array of pastries with vegan options. The person taking the orders was knowledgeable on what was dairy free, which I appreciated. There was ample seating outside, even on a weekend morning. I ordered the brisket breakfast burrito and it was so tasty and I can't wait to order it again.

    This charming retro-modern restaurant with its novelty camping decor is adorable. It's like I found a sliver of R&R tucked neatly within a residential neighborhood. I could easily get lost here for hours in just the decor and menu alone. All it needed was horseshoes, s'mores, and ghost stories to complete the ambiance. Instead, it's got all that and more. Great coffee, easy service, and seriously delicious breakfast. First, I love how they branded every inch of this space with the Basecamp theme, including the menu. The front signage is brilliant and you can spot it from the street while driving by. The outdoor patio is made to feel like you're chillin' next to a parked RV. And it's lush. The picnic tables and outdoor greenery feels like you've escaped the concrete jungle, and you're somewhere out by a lake with lots of tall trees and maybe even a bear. Or rather, as hungry as one--which I was. As I walked up to the front of the line inside, I didn't mind the 10-minute wait since there were so many good choices on the menu. Chilequiles looked good. The portion looked like it could satisfy a lumberjack crawling out of hibernation. House-made Pasties? Yes, please. Bring on the fresh fruit cronut. Yes, it tasted as good as it looked. Flaky, buttery, and topped with a crystal sugary glaze, it beared fresh bananas, blueberries, and strawberries like a badge of honor. Huevos Rancheros - It was a fiesta of spices mingling with over easy eggs on top of warm corn tortillas, and topped with a ranchero sauce with just the right amount of heat. I like that they aren't shy about avocado rations and that the hash browns are perfectly crisp and buttery. I'd say the whole plate comes together like a campfire song everyone already knows the words to. Kumba-YUM!!!!!! Verdict: Hangry campers walk out feeling fueled up and happy to start their day. I did. Next time I come back, I'll turn off my cell and go off the grid and get lost in more of their house-made pastries*. *Scones, Biscuits & Jam, Coffee Cake, Fruit Danish, Morning Bun, Turnovers, Chocolate & Almond Croissants, Banana Bread

    Lunch review! Pretty tasty! Friendlier service at this hour too (i know its strange but ill make note of it.) I ordered the Buffalo Chicken Salad which was very good and a tad spicy with delicious cut bits of fried chicken. I noticed everyone else's food choices in the restaraunt also looked very well presented. A new note for this lunch was the line got pretty busy for the weekend noon hour; but that is expected for how good this place is. It wasn't a quick line though, slower than usual, but we got there :) There was still a good amount of seating with their picnic style benches which some folks shared and the inside with smaller seating. Good for families and saw kids with their parents seated comfortably. The picnic tables actually allowed more room for the kids to move about. I would recommend this place for lunch, yes!

    Breakfast Tacos
    Annabelle G.

    Perfect place for a chill brunch with friends! We got the brisket breakfast tacos and quesadillas, along with some of their lattes - all so good! The vibes were laid back and I loved the outdoor seating area and open concept as well. Highly recommend! It's also pretty easy to find street parking nearby tldr 5/5 food - brisket breakfast tacos were superb, good bang for your buck as well 5/5 service - you order at the counter and the line moves fast! 5/5 vibes - chill, laidback, good vibes overall

    SO yummy! Boyfriend and I both loved the salad. Their tri-tip with BBQ sauce is great and tangy. Would get time and time again.

    This establishment should reinstate taking phone orders to improve wait times and friendlier customers service. Ok food but needs a wider range of salsa - ok food though

    Basecamp Breakfast Burrito
    Darian E.

    Dinette is a nature/hiking themed brunch and cafe in south Burbank near the LA River. The restaurant styles itself on the small, inconspicuous little joints seen in US National Parks. While a decent local place with personality, and a slight hipster vibe, I left slightly disappointed. On an early Friday morning, an old friend and I caught up; you order at the front register, and I asked the staff what Dinette was most famous for and what she recommended; she suggested the Basecamp Breakfast Burrito ($13); this came with a side of hash browns. Accompanying this was a rather generic cappuccino ($4.50). The burrito was disappointing, which was fairly dry, filled with too many hashbrowns, and a little overcooked. While thankfully saved by a decent, slightly spicy salsa, I would suggest more eggs, bacon, cheese, and to drop the hashbrowns altogether. The hash browns were fairly generic, and a little overcooked as well. The ambiance is relaxed and outdoorsy, and the staff friendly but not effusive. The food came fairly quickly (10-15 minutes). The prices, while not extortionate, were fairly middling for somewhat lackluster food. Perhaps I would have been better served by a better entree choice or one of the many tasty bakery items in their window, but alas I try what was recommended. More lodge diner than national park gourmet, Basecamp Dinette is a fair choice for a middling meal with relaxed, national park vibes. Food: 3/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Value 3.5/5

Ribs Plate Combo with mac and cheese and cornbread for my sides. The ribs were almost falling off the bone but still with a bit of chew on it, which I appreciated because I don't like mushy meat. The sauce was tangy and sticky and not too vinegary. Good stuff, but couldn't finish so it came home with me. The big surprise was the cornbread. Most BBQ places concentrate on the meat and leave the sides as afterthoughts so that means cornbreads tend to be disappointingly dry. Not this one. This cornbread was moist and flavorful. The mac and cheese was just okay. Should have gone with the beans. My dining companion and I also got to sample some sliders and they were pretty damn good. Wish those had been on the menu. Service was good although, most people were taking their food to go. The atmosphere inside was warm for a cool day and almost too warm as my companion had to shed her jacket before we started eating so she wouldn't overheat. Not sure I'd be able eat inside on a hot summer day. They do cater and parking is street and a miniscule parking in the back. I believe it's only credit/debit only, but check first. Pricing is reasonable, but remember, it is beef you're paying for so definitely a splurge day. Happy eating!!!

However, I am compelled to rate this establishment one star due to a particularly unpleasant experience with a female deli employee whose first name begins with the letter "J." Despite my frequent visits, the overall customer service in the deli and meats department has declined. The season butchers have been replaced with individuals lacking the necessary experience and customer courtesy that were previously present. Over the past three months, I have encountered the same issues with this particular employee. It is important to note that the fee charged for slicing a Tri Tip into a carton container is not the primary concern. The issue lies in the employee's behavior and attitude, specifically their unwillingness to properly wrap the sliced meat. This has occurred on multiple occasions, most recently at the checkout counter when the cashier pull the foil-wrapped package from the plastic bag causing the juices of the meat to spill all over the counter. This has happened to me every time this employee has served me. The Tri Tip sliced meat is dry and devoid of juices due to this careless employee's failure to wrap the meat carefully. It is imperative that this situation be addressed. Management should provide this employee, "J," with proper training on how to wrap sliced food correctly. Additionally, it is crucial the ambiance that all employees, including the deli and butcher employees, maintain a pleasant and friendly demeanor. A salutation is always appreciated. Despite these concerns, the BBQ remains outstanding as always.

I'll go one by one as I really didn't skimp on any of it..... First off, the brisket was so tender I couldn't even get it on to my plate originally. I had to keep stabbing at it with a fork and it just kept falling into pieces it was magical. The flavor was amazing with the perfect combination of that smokey and fire grilled taste. Didn't even need to use any sauce, but don't sleep on their BBQ sauce it had the perfect flavor of not too acidic and not too sugary. It's hard to stop eating it. I had to follow it up with the brisket quesadillas because.... well because they were staring at me and I had to show them who was boss.... Again, insane flavor combo and pleasantly addicting. Next move I had to throw down on a couple of hot wings to make sure my taste buds were still jumping and ready for the upcoming situation. Just for reference purposes, nice little kick with a bit of smokey flavor. Could've eaten 20 in one sitting but was continuing on my path of BBQ destruction. We now veered over to the baby back ribs .... I think I ate 10 before I realized what was going on. Yet again, the flavor was perfect and the meat was cooked to perfection. It didn't need any sauce, but I was a big fan of loading up on the BBQ sauce for these bad boys..... Next I shifted my fat eyed focus over to the tri-tip. It had that perfect pink center looking like a medium rare meaty super model. I went a different route here and dipped it into this horseradish sauce concoction that I never seen or heard of in my life. I don't know what was in that sauce, but it was phenomenal. I could have literally eaten this stuff by itself, but everyone was looking so I didn't want to make it weird. The tri-tip itself didn't even need any sauce and was super juicy, but that sauce just elevated the taste to another level. Now we decided to go a different location on the farm pay tribute to some smoked chicken. I had to dabble with both the BBQ sauce and the horseradish sauce as my dipping/smothering choices for this tasty bird. Couldn't even tell you how great it was without the sauce, since my mind was already fading trying to fight off my meat sweat coma. Lastly for our protein portion of the evening, I had to top it off with some of that pulled pork. Now this was extremely flavorful and some of the best I've had in quite some time. I did however enjoy lathering it up with that BBQ sauce like some of his fellow plate mates I already devoured. I will give a shout out to the sides, even though I only had a brief taste of each as I was going hard on the proteins. High fives to the potato salad, coleslaw, Mac and cheese, street corn, corn bread, tator tots and collard greens. I may have possibly missed one or 2, but after gorging on disgusting amounts of food, you tend to forget things. Had to make sure to sneak some of those greens in there so my heart didn't give out.... I however did not indulge in the chips and salsa that were there since I didn't want to come off as a pig..... So instead (as I forgot to mention previously), I took the queso and poured it over some pulled pork because that's what needed to happen at that moment.... Boom! For the grand finale, we had this banana pudding dessert that literally put me over the top. If I could openly cuss on this platform, I genuinely would.... It was absolutely orgasmic. That's right, you read that correctly. I don't know what they put in that thing, but to call it amazing would be an understatement. Pretty sure I blacked out at some point while finishing my bowl of dessert. As you can read, I was not a fan of any of the food in any way shape or form.(Sarcasm ...) I look forward to going back, but I will need to wait until I awake from this painful food coma I've been fighting off since the ending of the World Cup match watching USA beat the breaks off of Bosnia with one man down. Much love on the food and I happily dedicate this extra fat fold on my stomach and the 8lb weight gain to AJ's BBQ.

    Wow! My new favorite BBQ spot in LA. To start, great service! Everyone was super nice and…read moreinformative! Now let's get into the food. I got a brisket and half rack of ribs, with corn bread, greens, and beans. My friend got the elote cup and that was equally as amazing! Everything was excellent! The meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the sides were delicious. My husband and I were blown away and already planning our next visit back.
