    Super nice staff. Food? Deplorable. I left it like this . Even on the airport-food scale it was shockingly bad. If I do not get sick I will consider it a win. YUCK

    On our way out of LA we stopped by this place in the Burbank airport for a quick refresher after making it through the security checkpoint. Fairly typical airport establishment, friendly staff that'll help you with menu selections. We both enjoyed our beverages and the chance to relax for a few minutes before boarding our flight. Very uncrowded and quite relaxing considering we were in an airport. Would not hesitate to stop by again, furry another drink or even maybe some food.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    Longboard pils

    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!

    The actual burrito and filling. Adequate portion

Drinks also came out quickly, although we did have to wait longer for the food items. My matcha that I ordered was really good, it was off the seasonal menu. It was a peach basil matcha, very creative combination and the basil was not overpowering at all. I also got an avocado toast with egg and that item was a little underwhelming. The egg was cold and the avocado needed a little more flavor. However, overall good experience.

They do have parking behind the building which seems to fill pretty quickly if they're busy, but it's easy to find parking around the neighborhood. I am not usually in the tavern scene so I was surprised that we had to order and pay at the bar, but it wasn't a big issue. My friend and I split the kale caesar salad and the macaroni and cheese. For the table, I ordered the waffle fries after being informed by the kind waitress that that was the better choice over the pretzel (which she also said was amazing). Since the place was filling up for the final, the kitchen was a bit slow, but we barely noticed with how attentive the staff were in getting us drinks and refills. When it came to food, we were pleasantly surprised with this place and is honestly the reason I'm writing this review. The first things we got were the Beef Tallow Waffle Fries, Caesar Salad, and mac and cheese. Obviously the fries were much better, however the salad was also divine but just swimming in dressing. Back to the fries, we all were mindblown with how tavern fries could be this good and had so many flavors. Even the skinny queens in our group kept snacking on them which tells you how good these were. Mac and cheese came and it was standard and creamy but not necessarily something I'd return for. The surprising thing on top of the fries that majority of us loved was the Vegan Tomato Scampi with shrimp. It was fire and had me questioning if it was even Vegan. Would definitely return here if I find my way back to SoCal from the Bay. Great unassuming place with great food and vibes. Their bathroom as well is super clean and nice! Love this place!

I ended up ordering the Rosso Veronese. It was dry overall but had a touch more sweetness than I expected, which made it easy to drink given I'm not much of a wine connoisseur. We also benefited from a special on the wine because it had been featured at an event the previous day. The space itself was comfortable and inviting. We grabbed a spot on one of the couches, which gave the evening a more relaxed feel compared to a typical wine bar setup. Pricing is about what you'd expect for a wine-focused spot. It's not inexpensive, but it didn't feel unreasonable either, especially considering the service and atmosphere. Between the knowledgeable staff, the opportunity to sample wines, and the comfortable setting, I'd happily come back and try a few more selections.

For starters, I think the pours were kind of lacking? Just feels like much smaller pours than I usually get at wine bars. The menu was pretty small, and apparently out of date because a few of the things we were interested in they didn't have that day. We also had like 3x different people serve us, so by the end of it I wasn't even sure who I should be asking for the check. My friend and I sat outside, so maybe the service would be better inside or at least at the bar, but it was just kind of... average at best. I think our waitress was new, so she wasn't really able to answer any questions, and the ones she did answer, ended up being corrected later. Which actually is TOTALLY fine, like I totally understand. But then when she brought our first wines, she accidentally knocked one over or hit it with the other glass or something (it happened fast) but it shattered one of the glasses spilling red wine everywhere, and even a drop on my white shirt!! She was suuuuuuper apologetic, and I can tell she felt bad, and we were not mad. We just kept saying that its okay and accidents happen. She did even bring me soda water for my shirt. Then, we asked if we can do the charcuterie plate with just cheese and no meats (we don't eat pork) and she said sure. She told us the number of cheeses to choose, we did, but then we got a lesser number served to us by a different waiter, and incorrect cheeses. He kindly brought one of the missing cheeses, but informed us that the lesser amount was actually the correct amount for this menu item. Okay, we would have chosen differently had we known that, but alright. Maybe I'm delusional, but between the cheese mixup and the wine spillage (and staining my white shirt), I kind of half expected a little something from them. Like comping one of the four glasses of wine, or maybe an extra little top off or something to say "hey sorry we're a mess today." I would never ASK for it, because as it was I felt bad for the girl who was new, so we just paid (and tipped of course) and left. Overall, its just nothing to write home about...
