Nice place, old school Burbank, haven't been back here in maybe 20 years, no reason other than just busy with life. It's friendly, clean and nice prices. It's quite pleasant inside, ample parking out front and around back. Our food took a little while, but soup and salad made that not too bad! My turkey dinner with baked potato was really quite good, I recently read somewhere they go through 200 lbs of turkey each day, I can see why! The pork chops are reportedly very good and their apple sauce is delicious from where ever it hails from. Nice place indeed! So glad there were no canned string beans involved! lol We'll be back! read more

Thank you to Laura K, the hostess, the gentleman who helped with a t-shirt (they're amazing!) and the incredibly courteous busser extraordinaire. I wish I knew your names! Tallyrand is perfection from cleanliness, to aesthetics to food. I had Cream of Wheat w raisins (don't judge) and my son had the King Burrito. AMAZing!! And coffee? Delish and it stays hot in the cup... how?!?! Hoping to get dinner there before flying back to NH! Thank you to all, again!! read more

I am a big fan of the old school dining rooms and these days they are hard to find. Don't get me wrong the culinary scene brings so many different flavors, fusions and recipes for the palate but there is nothing like delicious comfort food especially served with old school charm. We were greeted by warm friendly staff who sat us in the dining room and not long after the dining area began filling up with patrons and quite a few regulars. The staff knew some of them by name or their regular orders. For a server to recognize a customer and talk to them and care for them is what Juan S. Did. He was our server and was so nice, friendly and helpful especially this being our first time dining at Tallyrand. Attentive to all of the tables in our immediate area, conversing with the regulars and caring for them while listening to them. Our food was outstanding, a good sized menu offering various house specialties and all looked amazing. We went with the Turkey dinner and it was fabulous, like having Thanksgiving dinner without having to cook and clean up. Salad or soup option for starters that came with incredible fresh hot sourdough bread before the entree arrived. Good sized portions at reasonable prices served hot and tasting just like home. We had to go with the famous house baked peach pie à la mode and try a cup of coffee. Both spectacular as well. The perfect trifecta, starting with great service by Juan S. In a fabulous old school charm dining room that made you feel like home and completing it with outstanding food. "Justa like my mama's kitchen" Tallyrand you brought back the sincerity of days long gone. You also gained two new regulars that will be back to explore and taste your menu Bravissimo e tutti delizioso. Mangiamo read more

On a Sunday afternoon at 12 noon in July, my family and I came here for lunch. Luckily we found parking spot in front of restaurant. I love the old school vibe inside the restaurant. We passed by the freshly made cinnamon rolls on the counter which looked good. We got seated on the round table near the restroom. The menu says breakfast all day or lunch. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with fries and water. Our beverage server got our waters. Then our waitress came and took our orders. Other tables ordered pancakes which looked really good. The chicken pesto sandwich was really good with juicy chicken breast and thick fries was good too. Couple of times we had to flag the beverage server for refilling water. We paid at the cashier near the doors. Very good value on food. read more

This is a really neat restaurant. It is much bigger than it looks. We sat downstairs where it is very dark with a bar and a cool vibe. Upstairs had plenty of room and lots of light. This place looks like its out of a old movie. We were disappointed because we were looking for breakfast. We were under the impression that breakfast ended at 1:00pm. I guess they stop serving breakfast closer to 11:30. We even saw people eating breakfast. We got a strong no on breakfast due to kitchen rules. I ordered a chicken sandwich. It was alright. My bf had the double decker which he said was good. Service was friendly. Parking is tight in front but wraps around the back. read more

This is a charming restaurant. It has diner counter seating at the front as well as booth and table seating on either side. The restaurant is more spacious than it looks. I came here for lunch w work colleagues and we got Indy dog seated. However I will say from ordering to the food coming out, it took almost 30+ minutes. I got the popular turkey melt and added lettuce and tomato. It was a tasty sandwich and well made. The turkey was delicious and bread was toasted nicely. The fried arent my fave style of fries tho. lol! Parking is free and plentiful in the lot. read more

MIXED REVIEWS FOR DINNER ======================== My husband and I and two of our friends met for dinner on Sunday, December 7th. I worked and lived in Burbank years ago, but I don't think I had ever been there. My husband had not been there. Our friends like it and they recommended it. I did my research on Yelp ahead of time and decided on the turkey dinner. I loved it. My husband decided on the chicken fried steak and he hated it. That was the kiss of death as far as he's concerned. I will have to go back with friends sans husband. Our friends were happy with the dishes they chose. One picked the fried chicken and the other a salad. I absolutely loved the sourdough bread. read more

The Tally has a special place in my heart, so this is a somewhat bias review. That being said, the food is solid, the service efficient and friendly and the ambiance is of a bygone era - awesome! Request a seat in the bar, to me, the heart of Tallyrand. Here's where my dad had many a 3 martini lunch from the 60s through the 80s. He explained to me, on a special day I got to shadow him "at work," that the layout of Tally bar is perfect for business lunches. 'I can be close to the back door exit, while keeping an eye on the front door if my boss walks in.' So once a year Hubs and I come to the Tally to raise a glass to Dad and enjoy a classic meal done perfectly since 1959. Tonight, I was in the mood for one of their hand carved steaks. A beautiful 30oz New York Angus, seared and delivered perfectly Rare/Medium (I like more rare than medium, but enjoy a good sear). It came with choice of side(steamed veggies for me), and salad or scratch made daily soup(chicken noodle tonight). I requested some A1 sauce, but a perfect sauce doesn't need it and I didn't use it. The steak was seasoned perfectly with just salt & pepper. Chef's kiss! Hubs went with the classic pot roast dinner, opting for a baked potato over the fresh daily mashed potatoes and house made gravy. He also enjoyed the chicken noodle soup. Our dinners also have an option of a loaf of sourdough or muffin - all baked fresh daily. These muffins are SO GOOD! You'll be asked if you prefer the muffin to go, which I've elected to do previously because it's a great treat in the morning for breakfast, but tonight I wanted that delicious, moist carrot cake muffin with my dinner. Hubs opted for the sourdough - also very delicious! ;) We didn't have room for dessert, which they are also known for, but left full, satisfied and looking forward to another meal in the near future. Hubs has his eye on the pot roast quesadilla next. Cheers! "CC" read more

It's my first time ever eating at that place While the parking lot was full, and the place was super packed I don't know if it's because the rain I attracted everybody here inside or because it's just delicious and good I know this is a landmark in Burbank. It's been around for a long time. I ordered the "giant Reuben sandwich" for $17.50: corn beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut on a grilled sourdough bread It comes with French fries: the large and thick style. Food is just ok, and the atmosphere is your typical American coffee shop... read more

Overall, a classic diner with an all around American breakfast menu. But, the mediocre food and the poor service means we will we definitely not be coming back. I ordered the French toast plate with scrambled eggs and potatoes. The potatoes were undercooked and had no seasoning at all. The French toast was tough to chew. I asked for another side of potatoes, which came out better cooked. I also found a hair in my coffee. The entire food experience was subpar. Additionally, the service was unfriendly and inattentive. The waitress left us to our own devices and we had to ask another server for help. read more

This is a classic spot. Inside and out. Leather seats and dark wood, reminds me of the local restaurants from when I was a kid. Marty was our waitress and she is a riot. Loads of energy. We got the giant Reuben, which was fire and the clubhouse. Loads of bacon, Too good!. read more

I love this place. Is it Michelin quality? No. Has it been renovated in 50 years? Don't think so. But is it charming, is the food fresh and comforting, and are the waitstaff smiling from ear to ear? Yes. I had the turkey dinner. "Homemade" mashed potatoes seems a bit of a stretch but I will say that overall, it's good and not dry turkey, tons of food, and it all goes together well. The salad was more lettuce on a plate, but the ranch was good and the sourdough was warm. It's good prices for the amount, a server who seemed genuinely happy to be there and excited for the food she served, and the noise level made it so I could actually hear my friend speak --rare in a restaurant now! read more

Service is notably great! Everyone is so friendly and works together. Cute little spot that's not so little. I can't believe I didn't know about it! Good coffee and yummy food. We tried their famous fried chicken plate that comes with mashed potato and coleslaw... it is famous for a reason! We also ordered the chicken tenders dinner plate. It was okay - the breading was a little too thick and the fries with a little bland. Blueberry muffins are a must try. read more

TLDR: delicious pancakes, amazing king burrito, classic diner feel, friendly staff, reasonable price, indoor and outdoor seating One of the best breakfasts and pancakes I've ever had - this family-owned place should be at the top of your list in Burbank!!! There's a joyful vibe when you walk in the door. Tallyrand has a classic and perfectly welcoming American diner feeling. And the food matches the excellence of the family-friendly vibe. I shared the #7 pancake meal and the King Burrito, both of which were excellent. The warm syrup and buttery and fluffy buttermilk pancakes were a standout - this place has perfected their pancake recipe (which makes sense since they've been operating since 1959!). The burrito was delicious and came with a homemade salsa. I recommend the savory/sweet breakfast, but if you don't get pancakes I have to say the warmed-up homemade cappuccino chip muffin is a DELICIOUS choice too!! Prices were incredibly reasonable and worth every penny! The place is family-owned and operated and is on its 3rd generation of family ownership. The staff have a fun and joyous camaraderie with each other and they were so pleasant and fun. There are obviously a lot of regulars who stop by here too - the waiters are on a first name basis with many of the customers! Lots of families and kids enjoying it too in the indoor and outdoor seating. I can't recommend this place enough. If you are in Burbank (or LA county) - this is THE BEST diner in the area. I can't wait to come back for lunch and dinner! read more

Had the tuna melt with fries and a slice of chocolate cake. The tuna melt was good and think cut fries were excellent. The chocolate cake (Bundt cake) was dry and not something I would order again.

I would return again to try other entrees . read more

Well, it's very clean. This place is popular with a certain type of person, so if that's you, go for it. It is generic, rather tasteless and very basic diner fare. I used to live in the area and went frequently for a quick lunch. Their sandwiches are filling and just what one would expect. No surprises, and sometimes that's what one is looking for. I had maybe the most generic item on the menu, their "famous" turkey dinner. There was some taste, but most of that came from the cranberry sauce. My vegetable consisted of one raw carrot spear. My husband had the big special of the day, pot roast. It came about five different ways, and he opted for the usual dinner plate. Bland to a fault, it was only enlivened with a good sprinkling of hot sauce. We both liked the sourdough bread. I had a pleasant martini. The service was efficient and friendly. So, as the saying goes, it is what it is. As we no longer live nearby, I doubt we'll return. I read more

The place is located on Olive Ave in Burbank and has a parking lot but there is plenty of parking on the side streets, It was built in the 1950's and still has that feeling of an old diner.we were seated to the right of the hostess and saw double doors. After 10 minutes the doors were opened and to my surprise there was a staircase going down. Downstairs there are tables and an oldtime bar I'll have to go again just to go into the bar for the experience! We sat down and the waiter came to take our drink orders, he was followed by a waitress who took our food order- when we entered we were given Breakfast menus then my sister asked for the lunch menu, so we had both to look at. They were patient as we looked over the menus and I settled for the Belgian Waffle. The waffle was fluffy and golden brown covered with whip cream and butter which made each mouthful perfect! I'm fussy about waffles and this one will get me to return! The wait staff was constantly coming around to give refills and ask if we needed anything! I truly enjoyed the attention we were given and highly recommend it! read more

This review is based on my experience with Thanksgiving 2025. Overall, I would say I had a good experience! I had heard about Tallyrand's Thanksgiving dinner for several years and decided to see what the fuss was all about. I arrived in line around 10:50 and it was already quite long, wrapping around the building. The line did move at a decent pace, and the employees did a great job of keeping everything organized. It also helped that the line was mostly shaded. I was able to place my order after about an hour and a half of waiting in line, and had a very quick and easy ordering experience. Each set meal was about $31, and came with the meat (plus stuffing if you ordered the turkey), yams, mashed potatoes, bread, butter, cranberry sauce, and a slice of pie. Once I placed my order, I was directed to the other side of the restaurant to pick up my order. I waited about another 20 to 30 minutes to receive my order. There was so much food! The turkey was plentiful and I especially enjoyed the stuffing. Yams were great, mashed potatoes were okay but I'm particular about my potatoes. The cranberry sauce was fine but I would've liked it to be a bit more tart. Bread was freshly baked and delicious. I couldn't finish all of the bread or pie and had some leftovers. Thanks to all of the hardworking employees for making Thanksgiving as smooth as possible! read more

My go-to place when I'm in the Burbank area. Such good food and the servers make you feel like you're at home. Old school feel and the meals are hot and fresh. Come HUNGRY cause the menu is big and the portions are generous. I tell myself to try something new every time I come but always end up getting the hot turkey sandwich. You just can't go wrong with that! Their chili is really good too. I usually get that as an appetizer then cry about how full I am when I leave LOL read more

First, the ambience, because it's the reason I tried this joint in the first place. I love the vibe here. Old school 1950s or 60s coffee shop diner vibe.

I went to Tallyrand for a Saturday brunch and it was so amazing! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us and were very friendly. The menu had so many good options but I finally decided on the number 7. I got it with scrambled eggs, sausage links, and pancakes. The sausage was very delicious and the pancakes were the perfect consistency. The restaurant was also very clean and well-run. The waiters made sure we were always taken care of.

Came in and found a real hidden gem. The pancake stack came out decent. Soft enough. Fluffy enough. The kind of pancakes that do not change your life but absolutely mind their business and keep breakfast on schedule. No plot twists. No betrayal. Just a respectable stack showing up to work. The turkey dinner was the hit. Savory. Comforting. Very much giving somebody's aunt still runs the kitchen and does not play about gravy. It had that old-school homestyle energy that makes you sit up a little straighter and start forgiving your week. Not flashy. Not trying to be cute. Just a plate built like it pays taxes and tells the truth. The chicken noodle soup was the sleeper and honestly maybe the smartest one in the room. So good. Rich broth. Deep flavor. The kind of soup that tastes like it could fix your mood, your sinuses, and at least one bad decision. It came in quiet and somehow left with the crown. Full dark horse behavior. Service was easy. Friendly. No extra theater. They kept things moving and let the food have its moment, which honestly was the correct leadership choice. The atmosphere is low-key diner charm. Unpretentious. Local. The kind of place you almost do not want to talk about too loudly because then suddenly everybody shows up and now you are waiting for soup behind people who just discovered it on a Saturday. it's giving... a small-town diner in a movie where the soup has a better reputation than half the cast. read more

A Burbank staple, that has been in business for 65 plus years, so you know it's going to be good! Love the charm and feel of the restaurant which you feel really celebrates all the years of service to Burbank. We sat outside in their beautiful space which was surrounded by plants. While it was our first time there (I know how could I have lived here so long and not gone here) I loved seeing the regulars who knew every person working there and a few folks outside dining with the fur babies! We ordered the Popeye omelette which includes Spinach, Onion, Bell Pepper, Mushrooms, Tomato, Jack & Cheddar Cheese. It comes with a side of fruit and bread and the Healthy Choice omelette with Egg Whites, Bell Pepper, Onion, Chicken, Mushrooms, Spinach, Tomatoes and Avocado. Very generous serving and delicious with all the fresh veggies in both! Only regret, why didn't we order a pancake for the table! read more

I go to Hollywood frequently and I'm always on the lookout for a different restaurant to try. Always looking for historic, vintage, old school, etc. and The Tallyrand hit the spot! Of course I had to try the turkey dinner as it is their number one seller and they cook 200 pounds of turkey every day! The turkey dinner was fabulous! The turkey was very moist and flavorful, the potatoes were light and fluffy and the dressing was spot on. Chicken noodle soup was good. Some of the guests in my party had pancakes and a breakfast burrito and said they were both delicious. By the way, the sourdough bread is so good that I took a whole loaf home. It has a fabulous crunchy crust and soft center. I also brought home a cinnamon roll. The flavor was there, but I think it would be best to have fresh rather than the next day. The ambiance is reminiscent of an old school diner. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I totally recommend The Tallyrand! read more
