Dog finally hidden gem in Burbank. A Wonderfully large patio with multiple seating options beckons you once you find the place. I was warmly greeted at the hostess station and told to pick any seats. I opted for an umbrellaed table with comfy looking chairs. Our server, Keeley, welcomed us warmly and took our drink orders for fresh squeezed orange juice that was delicious. Our juice arrived with 3 yummy, mini cornbread muffins drizzled with honey I got biscuits and gravy with 2 scrambled eggs and a side of hash browns. Everything was super yummy Eggs were made perfectly. Gravy was creamy and savory. My friend got the breakfast quesadilla with ham and really enjoyed it. Large portions so we both left with doggy bags. Before the check arrived we received some delicious orange cranberry cookies. Over all it was a super tasty experience and I will definitely go back. read more

Omg, we happened to be in Burbank last Saturday to have our windshield replaced so we googled breakfast places near us , I have been to literally hundreds of restaurants in Los Angeles in my 59 years and this was the best breakfast we have had in a long time. We shared a meat lovers omelet and Swedish pancakes that were both amazing, served by Javier who ended up being the icing on the cake, Javier was awesome and super personable with a personality and curly mustache to boot. We will be back VERY soon for another fantastic breakfast read more

Excellent on all counts! Very nice patio as well as plenty of space for larger groups. Dog friendly with doggie menu, water, and free cookies Great variety menu with all day breakfast, lunch, brunch options. Great staff, brings free mini muffins too . Fresh and tasty food (must try: Swedish Pancakes) read more

My daughter suggested this place for brunch on a weekend. When we arrived, there were still plenty of free parking spaces which later on became filled with many cars. We chose to eat outside, so we grabbed a table as soon as we found one. We could have eaten inside as well, but the weather was nice. So many choices to choose from on the menu. Our server was very patient and helpful. The portion size was good, and the presentation was also fine. We really enjoyed the corn bread!! Bathroom was nice and clean which is always a plus. read more

I went around during Mother's Day for their Breakfast and it was so delicious!!! A pet peeve of mine is that a-lot of cafe's/restaurants don't know how to do a seasoned flavorful egg white omelette so I was presently surprised when I took my first few bites! The service was decent but probably because of the holiday so it was okay :) and if you come with a pet definitely ask for their doggy menu!! More people need to know about this place :)) read more

Delicious swedish pancakes with berries. The overeasy eggs are cooked perfectly. Hash browns have a prettier presentation than other breakfast places. Generous complimentary corn muffins with honey as a starter, and a cookie desert. Server Veronica is warm, friendly and gave excellent service. 5/5 restaurant. Easy parking with a giant parking lot. read more

Overall the food was ok. I got chicken Cesar salad, my friends got breakfast burrito and the pancake combo. The service was excellent and the place it self is really nice. Why it 4 stars instead of 5 is the coffee. My friend got regular coffee and I got a latte. They were terrible. The coffee is not good. I was very surprised on how bad it tasted. The free corn bread was yummy and they also gave us free cookies. Unfortunately I probably will not be back for breakfast due to coffee taste. But I will try lunch maybe and see how that goes since their salad was good. read more

We didn't have reservation which we understood but still didn't try to accommodate. It was confusing because they said they could accommodate our party. Enrique is the manager but was not helpful. I definitely not eat here or will not recommend. It still confusing because they kept writing people name on a list. Update: We ended up at the Broken Compass Tiki and it was awesome. Really friendly staff and great service. They were kid friendly. Looking forward to going again. read more

The atmosphere is very welcoming! Nothing like a morning ice coffee and pastry as an appetizer. Service wonderful, very attentive servers! Food is tasty and just the right burrito, consistency is key! Kind of a hidden gem. read more

Came here during a short trip to Burbank for lunch a bit of time ago. The restaurant was very quiet and my friend and I were the only ones there. It felt a little odd but our experience was still good. The place was clean and nicely decorated with a decent amount of seating inside. Our server was helpful and friendly, and there was nice music playing quietly. I had ordered the burger and my friend got the French dip sandwich. I thought my burger was cooked well and was tasty. We both really liked our food and were definitely satisfied! read more

I came here before my flight out of Burbank. Tucked away from street view so it was a little hard to find. The outdoor patio is spacious so you can really enjoy it with a big group and/or your dogs! Solo female diner friendly. While I waited for my meal, I was served some mini cornbread- very yummy. The eggs Benedict didn't have much hollandaise sauce , but the eggs were perfectly done. I would recommend this place for breakfast or brunch- very fun vibe read more

Charlie and Friends was a meet up spot for my family that came from different corners of LA county. Luckily this spot was a hit because it almost made the 40 mins of traffic worth it. To start, the coffee was strong and rich, which is great. I ordered the breathtaking buttermilk pancakes (pancake count is 4) which comes with scrambled egg and bacon. I appreciate that they weren't too sweet nor did it come with any whipped cream since I am a savory pancake girl. It is a lot of food, I ended up taking half of it as leftovers, but it was very tasty and delicious! My brother had the quesadillas and he said that they were flavorful. My mom tried the pesto sandwich, which she enjoyed too! As an appetizer, we had the garlic parmesan fries and the fries were my favorite in between crispy and soft. Something of note, the restaurant is in a corporate office building, which is cool. The area is lovely and there is a lot of parking. Also, our waiter was very informative and friendly. Another staff member told us the story of the owners daughter, Charlie. Great service and good food overall, thank you for having us! read more

Nice little cafe in the neighborhood. They begin with wonderful mini corn muffins and a dash of honey. They have home made lemonade my mom loved. Coffee was average and fine. They have a variety of breakfast, brunch and lunch items. Our waiter was seemed super busy as it took far too long for everything. We were only served coffee twice and never checked on while we were eating, So, our experience could have been better if our waiter had more help. Definitely not enough people working there. Better service could have really made for a better experience. We didn't complain as I could see he didn't have enough help. I had the Swedish pancakes with eggs and a side of bacon. Everyone was happy with their plates and the portions. Loved the food but, not the wait. read more

The food and services are the best!!!!I come here frequently!! The atmosphere is wonderful and friendly!!

Great food and service. Perfect weekday breakfast atmosphere and it was not crowded at all.

We came here while visiting California. We were on our way to Universal Studios and wanted to grab a bite before. This lovely gem was close tomorrow hotel. We walked in and were seated. We chose to sit inside but most people were outside. I totally forgot to snap a pic of my food but I got a breakfast scramble, hubs had an omelet, the teenager had a breakfast burrito and the toddler had sausage and fruit because they're a toddler and that's what they wanted that day. Lol all of our food was delicious. Their lemonade was homemade and tasted great. It was a nice start to our busy day. If your in the area, stop in and have a bite. read more

I love this place. I've been here a few times for lunch with my coworkers. The food is delicious and they have a good variety. I always get something different but the French dip sandwich is very good! There's also always complimentary cornbread and a little something sweet at the end! The servers are always really nice and the patio seating is cute. I'll be back again! read more

This is a VERY charming place to grab a bite to eat or meet a friend at for breakfast, brunch, or lunch in Burbank's northern Hillside area. The service was friendly and attentive which is pleasant especially when you're getting ready for the day. This place starts you off right! The ambiance is a simple family diner style with simple tables and chairs located inside and outside. Decor is relaxed and homey with a bit of cottage design here and there. Very easy on the eyes. The food is good here! I have yet to find anything that isn't. Even the simple breakfast style is right on the money (which is affordable!). 5 Stars for mostly the service, treats, and atmosphere making a pleasant dining experience. The food is diner food style so we're not winning any awards here but the presentation and expected flavors are creative and eye catching. If you haven't ventured up to Burbank's nice Hillside area above Woodsbury University, you should try this place. I'd recommend meeting a friend here or bring the family for a morning breakfast or lunch. It's a pretty easy recommendations amongst the locals up here. ;) read more

Always a fun time enjoying Charlie and friends. Nestled in the northern area of Burbank right next to Woodbury University, this gem stands alone as one of the best brunch spots. Each staff member has always been so considerate, patient, and ready to make your experience 100%. Always a great meal and has a lovely patio to enjoy your bites. Dog friendly and ultimately a 10/10. Do yourself a favor and hit it up! read more

I write this review reluctantly, because despite them deserving to succeed in the business, I really want to keep this little treasure all to myself! Charlie and Friends is truly a hidden gem. What probably started as a cafe for a small cluster of business offices (my theory, do your own research) is now a charming and a little bit exclusive-feeling brunch and lunch restaurant with some clever offerings you'll love to explore. With quaint outdoor seating and plenty of tables inside, you'll be comfy on any weather. Beware their hours are limited so check before you go. But you'll definitely make time to come back. read more

Cool spot for lunch in Burbank! My daughter is named Charlie so we thought it'd be fun for her to go to a place that's named after her. This place is big and luckily not super crowded. Had plenty of patrons but there's both inside and outside seating. Big menu as well, both breakfast and lunch items and a kids menu. We sat inside. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Food was good! Got the quesadilla for my daughter. I had the pesto chicken sandwich with fries and my hubby got a hamburger. Fries were good as was the coffee! Will definitely come back! read more

The staff is so accommodating it has a great atmosphere inside and outside the restaurant

Great vibe! Charlie and Friends brought made me smile immediately upon entering. CLEAN restaurant, upbeat staff that truly looked happy to work here along with great music at the right volume. Just the uplift I needed after 5 days evacuated to a nearby hotel due to the fires. The menu was filled with so many tempting choices! My breakfast burrito with bacon was delicious and presented on a cute, rustic heart shaped board. 2 thumbs up for the complimentary welcome cornbread mini muffins and free cookie as parting gift. I'll be back for more when I return to this part of the city. read more

A hidden spot next to Woodbury University. It has a cute, spacious outdoor patio as well as indoor seatings. It was pretty empty on a Friday around 10:30am. There were about 2 tables inside and my friends and I were the only table outside. We were greeted by a friendly server who brought out honey glazed cornbread to start. These were so good! Considering how empty the place was, it took a while for us to get our food. Because of this, I think this made us have higher expectations. Everything looked great but tasted not as great. The salmon on the lox bagel was fishy. My friend was not a fan of the honeydew juice, didn't taste like honeydew at all. At the end of the meal, we were given cookies which I'm pretty sure was at least a day old. We all took a bite and put it down. Love the option of BYOB with a corkage fee. Plenty of parking in the parking lot with other office spaces and the restaurant. read more

We found Charlie and Friends on Yelp while looking for breakfast near our AirBnB while visiting Burbank. Great food, relaxed ambiance, friendly service. Nice open patio with umbrellas and heaters. The food was clean and flavorful, an added treat was the complimentary cookies brought out with our check. We'll definitely eat here again on our next trip to Burbank. Bonus: They use olive oil in place of unhealthy seed and vegetable oils on their griddle. read more

The pancakes are horrible. They tasted like cardboard. Very dry. Parking is a nightmare. Ambience and staff were nice though. I won't be returning unless they change that pancake recipe. My entire table couldn't believe how bad those pancakes were and that was the main thing we all came for. Almost was like they used the cornbread mix read more

First of all the food here is great! The salads and sandwiches are huge! The service is awesome. Everyone is friendly and helpful. You definitely get what you pay for. I have been here several times and have not had anything that I did not like. Been recommending this place to friends and family. Such a little gem! read more

This place is so hidden away you would have to actively look for it, but when you do.. it's such good food!! They have great options, indoor and outdoor seating, and the service is always amazing. I loved the ambiance of the place as well. My man and I love coming here for breakfast and lunch! read more

Went here today with retired friends and really impressed with the food and the service. To start everyone got a warm little cornbread drizzled with honey and after lunch all got a cookie. Beautifully decorated inside and very nice patio. Will definitely come back again. read more

Dog friendly, very kind staff, quiet ambiance, and decent breakfast food. This place is sort of tucked away in a little nook, a little difficult to find if you're not paying attention. Visited for breakfast on a Saturday and had the buttermilk pancakes with cheesy eggs and bacon. They give you more pancakes than I expected, and they're soft and fluffy while still being thin. The bacon was just how I like it - a little tender and very greasy. And they added the right amount of cheddar per my request to the eggs. A nice area to catch up with people given the quieter atmosphere, definitely recommended for a nice low key gathering. read more

My first time at Charlie and Friends was a great one. I was greeted by a friendly worker who let me pick a table outside. My server, I believe his name is Javier, was very responsive and helpful. I was very happy to know that at 10:45 am on a Tuesday I was able to choose from any/all of the menus. I chose the Cuban Fried Rice with guacamole which included marinated and then magically crispified shrimp. Loved the mango, red onion, generous amount of egg and I must report it was not spicy but Javier had already told me it wasn't. I could have used a little heat but it did not take away from my enjoyment. I will very likely order the dish again. The complementary corn muffins I was served were a yummy little bite while awaiting the main event. Prices are pretty reasonable. The shrimp fried rice is $13. It's a great little spot tucked away in the business park with lots of shade. A very positive experience overall. read more
