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!!
The food was ok the service was ok and the place is hot indoors. Very old school but healthy sized menu. I got the eggs Benedict and chocolate chip pancakes. The pancakes just had the chips on top of the pancakes not cooked inside of them? And the apple juice was a very SMALL CUP which they charged me $5 for and so I asked if this was a large what's the small look like? They brought out an EVEN smaller cup. Which was insane. But this place wasn't terrible!
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.
After YEARS of living in Burbank... HOW have I never been to Talleyrand Restaurant?! Came back for a visit today and WOWWWW... this place is the real deal. The location is perfect for locals and anyone cruising through town, but the REAL magic is the people serving in there. Fast, friendly, welcoming, and just good vibes all around. Marisa was an absolute gem Now let's talk FOOD because babyyyyy... Petite Steak with veggies, cooked just right New York Steak with mashed potatoes, COMFORT FOOD LEVEL 100 BLT with avocado, fresh and stacked perfectly Breakfast burrito, dangerousssss good Pot roast dinner , tasted like somebody's grandma put love in it Came hungry, left HAPPY, FULL, and already planning my return for that good ole turkey dinner If you've never been, don't wait as long as I did. Burbank treasure unlocked
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.
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.
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.
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"
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
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...
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!
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. My sister ordered the blackened chicken sandwich which was very tasty. They have clam chowder which I wanted to try but I decided on the sandwich. I would return again to try other entrees .
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.

This place is a must when in Burbank, CA. They have been here since 1959! Parking is super easy in the front of the restaurant. Just off Olive st. one of the main streets in town. The pancakes are made with buttermilk. Light and fluffy. They are perfect. Get them with eggs and bacon. Crispy tasty bacon. This is a regulars place. You will see staff taking a seat sometimes with guests for a quick chat. Dogs are welcome on the patio and they give them a fresh water bowl. People still read the newspaper here. A great neighborhood spot! read more
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

Go to breakfast and brunch restaurant when I'm in Burbank. This place is an institution coffee shop diner family restaurant. Super friendly service and great American family restaurant food. Super busy so prepare to wait in the morning but well worth it! Great breakfast and omelette plus large lunch and dinner menu. They are famous for their fired chicken which is the bomb! 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
Hot tub Time Machine for real. The food was ok. I ate. Tried a pancake which was great. I love old school diners. The bar area is awesome if you're into dark daytime drinking. Service was very nice. Liked the big booth we got in the back. 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

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

Tallyrand Restaurant poor air-conditioning so hot serving water no ice, and ice tea taste like water. Your cashier asking if I need change, I said yes....Why I gave her 9 dollars tips that I already leave my tips on the table and food not my type the way they prepared. I ordered chicken fried steak so hard. And not enough breading so thin... read more

We love coming here to eat. Unfortunately, we usually get just one entree which is their famous turkey dinner. Although they have so many other choices, we ordered the turkey dinner once again. I think it's the best I've ever had. As usual the food was amazing! Our was Christin who was also excellent. 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
