    Pineapple rice bowl
    Bryant G.

    We've been traveling out of Burbank more and more lately and this is our spot to eat every time. They have a good selection high quality items. The breakfast burrito, taco play and my personal favorite is the pineapple Hawaiian chicken bowl. It's so good! It's an airport so prices are high, but the food is served quick and the quality is great

    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Melissa F.

    This place was soooo good. The service took a little long in the beginning. Honestly the food and drinks made up for it! I'm BUMMED that this place is in the airport. This was the best michelada and chicken caesar wrap I've ever had....yes it is pricey but it's the airport and it's worth it. They are not stingy with the chicken. 1000% recommend!

    Nice place to enjoy while waiting on your flight to depart. Good customer service from the bartenders. Note* the bartender was heavy handed so that's always a plus! The price points were on the higher end and they didn't offer small plates or an assortment of appetizers, since I wasn't really hungry I inquired about it. I was offered fries or house made potato chips and settled for the latter. They were alright, I could tell that they'd be better if they were freshly made and an added sprinkle of salt.

    Love their selection

    Never thought I would have one of the best bagel breakfast sandwiches at an airport. I got the cheddar bagel with eggs, cheddar and ham with a side of fruit. OMG!!! it was so good. Eggs were fluffy, shaved ham and they did not skimp on the portion. Charge me with whatever you want but don't make a meal pint size. I have to find this restaurant outside of the airport so I can get this delicious meal.

    The California Obsession salad
    Susie G.

    Friendly service, food arrived fairly quickly. I appreciated being able to order something healthy at the airport. I selected The California Obsession salad and it was delicious. Napa cabbage, chopped romaine, scallions, grated carrots, cilantro, shredded chicken, toasted almonds, mandarin oranges, rice vinegar, tamari, honey, toasted sesame oil, garlic-ginger dressing. The shredded chicken was beautifully mixed throughout so you got some in every bite. Seating was rather crowded and the lunch scene was rather chaotic but that's kind of the rule rather than the exception with an airport restaurant so I won't fault them for that.

    Located inside Terminal 1 at the Burbank Airport, this is the first eatery with a bar that you'll encounter. There is a burger stand up the way that also has a bar. However, it's much smaller. My flight was delayed so I stopped in for a drink. I had to wait a bit for a table to open because other stranded travelers had the same idea. I ordered a Sidecar. It tasted good but was missing the sugar rim. Unfortunately, the drink menu did not include prices so I was shocked when I got the $25 bill for one cocktail. Next time, I'll try the burger stand.

    Wagyu Burger
    Leo V.

    Airport food is usually mediocre and expensive, but this place was surprisingly really good. The Wagyu Burger was perfectly cooked, medium rare, very tender, tasty, with an abundant amount of pickles, onions, and their special sauce was made the burger pop. I had gotten a manhattan thinking it was just gonna be mediocre food, but after digging into the burger, I realized I needed an IPA to chase it down with. My wife got their taco salad and it was also very good. Very nice portions. This meal made my trip to Pasadena well worth it. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The place is easy going and felt cozy.

    Iced Vanilla Latte
    Courtney O.

    My husband and I checked out Diane Mina's Backyard Bar and Eats at the Burbank Airport while flying home over the weekend. We had an early flight and wanted to eat something quick for breakfast. I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and shared the Breakfast Sausage Bagel. The bagel was super good and the sausage on it was spicy and very flavorful. The latte was the perfect pick me up and it was not too sweet - just the way I like it! I like that you can either order at the counter for a grab and go or they do have staff that walk around and will also take your order. They even had a cold section for premade items. The inside is pretty big with lots of tables and even a bar area. They also have a huge wall of TVs so it is a great place to hang out at when waiting for your flight. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They were constantly checking in on us. Overall, we were really impressed with the food and coffee considering airports don't have the greatest reputation in that department. We will be checking them out again next time we travel to Burbank! Check them out - you will not be disappointed!

    Longboard pils
    Enrique S.

    Honestly the service is OK. But look, you are at a busy airport and the food is solid. You have to take that into account. I get their margarita pizza and ceaser salad. Both super good and always quick with the food. I appreciate this place because it's nice to grab a bite to eat. 5-star because of where it's at. Employees try their best too because I see it gets overwhelming for them. Nice job guys!

    I had the nachos and they were generous with the toppings. There was a server on sight and he was super friendly and accommodating. They have a bar on the premises and you can order via the QR code, through the server, or up at the counter. They have a great selection of pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. A great place to relax and eat a good meal while waiting for your flight!

    Carne asada nachos and carne asada burrito.
    Katy Z.

    The carne asada nachos are sooo good and I got about 3 lbs of food. The chips are freshly fried, house made guac and nacho cheese. Definitely on the pricier side but it's an airport what can you do. Service is friendly and fast and lots of seating. The nachos and burrito plus tip set me back $67.

    Brisket sandwich with potato chips

    Clean, friendly service at the Burbank airport! I ordered the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. Meat was very tender, cheese paired perfectly with a sandwich type bread that was warm, buttery with a hint of garlic. Came with a side of aus jus. Potato chips look and taste freshly made. Nicely surprised!

    Alice B.

    I was starving and this was the first restaurant we came to. First of all this airport sucks (Burbank). Hubby wanted to watch baseball so we stopped. I have a burrito and wanted it in a bowl. And got 2 Snapples. $38.00 later I get my bowl. No tortilla? Had to go up to the counter for a tortilla. The food was ok. Rice overcooked but the steak was tasty. I'm never flying in or out of Burbank. There are some pesky sewer flies around. Signs of a not spotless kitchen.

    The actual burrito and filling. Adequate portion

There's a limited amount of parking behind but street parking is available along the front and residential area. It can be a little difficult when it comes to parking but you'll find something.

There's two levels but I'm not sure if the second is alway open or if they utilize it for a private event. Right when you walk in, the middle of the room has a couple of pool tables and just past that is the bar area. There's loads of beer on tap so I'm sure you'll find something you'll like.

She said and I quote, "it's supposed to have mold. It's a sour beer." Why do this to people? Was she not trained? New? From google: Drinking a sour beer with significant mold on the cork may cause allergic reactions (sneezing, coughing) or gastrointestinal distress, such as stomach cramps, diarrhea, or nausea. While beer's alcohol and acidity generally prevent dangerous pathogens from surviving, mold can produce toxins. It is best to dump the beer if mold is extensive. Potential Consequences and Risks: Health Reactions: Individuals sensitive to mold may experience immediate respiratory symptoms like congestion, as well as potential stomach discomfort. Mycotoxins: While unlikely to be immediately fatal in small amounts, mold can produce harmful toxins with potential long-term health effects. Off-Flavors: The mold will likely ruin the taste of the beer, causing it to taste stale, overly metallic, or damp. Contamination: If the mold has penetrated the bottle, it indicates significant contamination, making it unsafe to consume. How Long Does Canned Beer Last?

What I didn't expect was this other bartender, who was on the complete other side of the bar and didn't communicate me with at all, was actually filling my drink. I didn't realize that, because he didn't tell me, so I turned to walk back to my table. This rude bartender thought I was abandoning my drink or something, and used his big boy voice to yell "YOUR DRINK!" so loudly that everyone at the bar stopped to stare at me, and some were laughing. Now I didn't know that intentionally embarrassing your patrons is how you guys do business, but ok, whatever makes you feel important I guess... The original bartender who took my order came by and checked and on our table later in the night, and he asked us something that neither my friend or I could hear, so I said "I'm sorry, what?" and he rolled his eyes and walked away. Alternatively, a few months ago, my husband and his friend came here and they received the complete opposite treatment - free drinks, conversations with the bartenders, and were welcomed. I never come into a restaurant/bar, especially a small business, expecting anything for free, that isn't my point at all. I do however expect basic manners and respect. Based on our very different experiences recently, there does seem to be a hint of misogyny going on here. This place used to be cool and friendly, and food has always been great, but the men who work here completely ruin it. It's really disappointing.
