    Chicken Salad Club
    David S.

    Came in for a Cobb salad and accidentally ended up with the chicken salad instead, but I'm not mad about it because it was actually really good. This place was pretty busy for a Tuesday afternoon, which is always a good sign. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and we would definitely come back.

    the Buenos Aires: filet mignon, mushrooms, (minus the bell pepper), mozzarella and chimichurri on a telera roll

    First time customer. Staff is fantastic and very helpful and friendly. Most importantly, the food is fantastic. I went with the recommendation of the cashier, and ordered the Buenos Aires, minus the bell pepper. FANTASTIC! And their chips are homemade! None of that generic mass produced bagged stuff. I will go back the first chance I get. :-)

    I had this craving for a burger today, however I was directed by my yelp to The carving board for a reason. From the moment I arrived the employee AM Drawer was so kind and welcoming. Looking at the menus I had no idea what I wanted, I asked for a recommendation and was guided to the Buenos Aires, I added some fries and their coleslaw. Wow, so good! The ambience is casual and clean. Definitely coming back again. I want to try all these sandwiches. See you soon

    These are one of the BEST sandwiches in Burbank!!! I am so surprised and happy the Carving Board exists and makes such delicious sandwiches in this area! So skip any chain-sandwich-shop-- and go here folks; you'll be glad you did! (After having one sandwich I went back in and ordered another for dinner. I had too.) The service was polite and straightforward. Sandwiches presented on a carving board (of course!) The ambiance is your typical sit down family friendly atmosphere. The food is obviously the main star of the show here! This is a seriously good sandwich shop (better than Mendocino Farms, I'll say it!); a local business as well. One worth supporting too once you get something here. I really liked their French Dip sandwich for one, and the Turkey Dinner sandwich! You really can't go wrong here guys. Nicely done Carving Board! Definitely adding this to the list!

    Very impressive burger presentation. A little too hard to eat. It's a mountain of a burgers. Good flavor, very fresh ingredients. Just a lot to handle. Better be hungry if you order this one. Has outdoor seating. Kinda small inside the restaurant. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. The house made chips were really good.

    We were starving for lunch. And what a great choice. So peaceful and quite atmosphere. Great choices. The sandwiches were so yummy. And the cookies were warm and so tasty. This place is highly recommend and I can't wait to tell my family and friends. Nice staff as well.

    I've been coming here for over 5 years. I love their sandwiches. Try the "Roughage" if you are vegetarian. The "Buffalo Chicken" sandwich is great if you like a little spice. I highly recommend their skinny fries as a side or the salad. I also love that they have real brewed Iced Tea (not the fake fountain stuff). Enjoy?

    Amazing Turkey Chili
    Ieda A.

    11/2023. Turkey chili is awesome , please have it available in a large bowl. Love this place just wish there was music to create an upbeat vibe. Pet friendly and multiple healthy choices. Totally worth every penny. Don't forget to try their desserts....cookies and yes their butter cake? Butter something?

    Sweet November
    Craig H.

    Checked my Yelp! app for a place to eat on the way to the Airport and came upon The Carving Board. Ordered the Sweet November turkey sandwich. What a great sandwich! All the ingredients tasted fresh and all worked well: Turkey breast, goat cheese, cranberry, baby cucumber, tomato, bermuda onion and balsamic glaze on 9 grain wheat (I did take the onion out as I believe onions overpower flavor profiles in most sandwiches). Too bad there isn't a Carving Board restaurant near me.

    Clydesdale roast beef and tomato soup

    The Clydesdale roast beef sandwich is excellent, I highly recommend it. Service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance is casual and relaxed, just like I like it. Also, very yummy, thick and delicious tomato soup. All at a reasonable price.

    Bentley with tomato soup
    Jenny T.

    Fast and friendly service, absolutely exceptional food and nice, clean restaurant. My friend and I came here for lunch and we had a great time. We were surprised that it was not busy at all. Or food arrived about 10 minutes after we ordered it. I got the turkey club with no cheese and lettuce wrapped, with a side salad that came with the meal. My friend got the Bentley with tomato soup. They do lettuce wraps for all of their sandwiches so I got one since I'm gluten-free and they didn't have GF bread. Everything was perfect except they only have like 10 minute parking on the street near them and there are no lots or parking garages near them. We had to park a couple of blocks away and walk there. I didn't mind the walk, but I may not come here with others unless we are just picking up food since there is virtually no parking. I do plan to return, though. They got my order right and it tasted so good!!

    Screenshot of me calling them twice after that rude girl hung up on me.

    I won't be ordering again. Staff is RUDE. I ordered through Postmates and added SPECIFIC notes which the staff ignored.. I let it go at the time. 2 days later I reorder and have the same experience. I called the store and asked to speak to a manager about the issue and the person I spoke to hung up on me.... This pissed me off, so I called back and the staff member had the audacity to start giggling and laughing and saying that the order wasn't wrong.... And that there were no notes.. I told her that I have screenshots and that she doesn't have to be rude. Won't be going to this location again because her response angered me. She laughs and says there no note stating my specific requests when I know damn well there is. You don't sit there and giggle and laugh when a customer is upset and they're asking you to fix their order. Unbelievable. I won't be ordering from this location again.

    Do the sandwiches come with chips or fries, or are those extra?

    Chips or salad no cost. Fries are part of premium sides for 2 dollars extra

The booths are comfortable, the booze selection is ample, and there are a whole bunch of TV's for watching games. Our server, Chelsea, was a very good egg; funny and very helpful with suggestions re the menu and various drinks. She checked on us repeatedly, and made sure we had all we needed. My wife ordered a Gummy Bear Shot that was tart and sweet and very enjoyable. On the food side, the menu is filled with the greatest hits of casual, sports bar foods, but all kicked up several notches and more interesting than the usual. My wife ordered the Truffle Burger, replete with onions and mushrooms and cheese. The trappings were all very tasty, and the burger itself was packed with flavor, and came cooked to a very proper medium rare. The side of lemon-pepper fries were hand cut and crispy, though the citrusy tang wasn't my thing. A tad less successful was my Pastrami Sandwich. The meat, listed as house-made, had good flavor but was tough. The kale slaw with it also had good flavor, and the slight bitterness was a nice foil for the rich pastrami. Onion rings were excellent, and (regardless of the lemon-pepper) the better bet as a side. All in all, this is a great, comfy place with a good menu and a really welcoming staff. I'd go back in a heartbeat to try the wings and pizza, both of which looked excellent when delivered to neighboring tables.

If you're using credit/ debit cards, I would recommend using the kiosk to avoid the line. This location is usually not that busy during lunch time, but it gets really busy in the evening.

So someone else from the kitchen came out to help with pick up window. Therefore, total time spent to go in and pick up the food was about 5mins. What came down to give 3/5 stars was the food taste. It felt like the food quality has gone down from the time when they first opened. Maybe the sauce was overpowering the meat and cheese? Maybe the meat got cold too fast? Something didn't feel right. The more I took a bite, I just wasn't satisfied. The fries were slightly on the soggy side vs crispy. Maybe I should've asked to cook longer? I don't know exactly what it was but I wasn't happy with my food overall. However, paying only $1 for large size coke was amazing! Thanks for staying open though, you guys are better than McDonald's, jack in the box, or other fast food burger restaurants (except in n out)!

Our chips and salsa order was never put in, BUT it was totally fine because my boyfriend and I totally should have shared a burger!

Islands is consistent, down to the Hawaiian decor and furniture at each restaurant. Burgers will be abundant. Bottomless fries and their fry seasoning are a must. I enjoyed happy hour special nachitos, a chili cheeseburger, and my go-to Diet Coke (don't judge me). The service was fast. The food was hot and substantial. The TVs all had different sporting events on to keep me entertained by men tossing orbs in various fashions.
