    Cobb Salad
    Briggitte L.

    This is a restaurant where you order at the counter and sit down with a number. The staff brings the food to you when it is ready. They had country music blazing over the speakers. I did not mind it, but my family found it annoying. The portions are big, and they do not skimp on the meat. The food was really good and the service was really great! Everyone who worked there was very friendly and helpful. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.

    Chilaquiles and Ribeye
    Anni Y.

    Hugely disappointed after hearing so many good things about their ribeye and pastrami burger. The food ended up being bland, overly salty, cold, and honestly nowhere near worth the price. We came on a weekend for brunch and they had already run out of menus at the front, so people in line were just standing there trying to figure out what to order with nothing to look at beforehand. The tables took a long time to be cleaned. Parking: Metered parking on the main street, but there's free parking at the garage near the AMC. Food: We got the Chilaquiles and Ribeye, Pastrami Burger, and two coffees, which was $72. For that price, I expected the food to have good flavor and quality. The coffee tasted super watered down, the pastrami burger was way too salty, and the fries came out cold. The ribeye was honestly the biggest disappointment. After hearing it was "the best ribeye around," I had high hopes and ordered it medium rare, excited to try it. The ribeye turned out to be a really small, thin cut of meat that was overcooked and tasted pretty cheap compared to how it's hyped up online. The chilaquiles were bland and soggy, and the beans were too. The whole meal just felt really underwhelming for the price. Service: Pretty minimal and slow. You order at the counter, grab a number, and they eventually bring the food out. Nobody checked in on us. Overall, Wild Carvery felt way overhyped from all the online reels and food posts. The food definitely did not live up to how it's portrayed online. The only thing I really liked was the location in downtown Burbank.

    If you're ever in Burbank and suddenly feel like your brunch standards are way too low, go to Wild Carvery. This place doesn't just make brunch--they make life decisions. We're talking about the steak and egg, which is so good it might ruin every other steak and egg you've ever had. Then there's strawberry banana French toast --because apparently regular French toasts just aren't dramatic enough. Everything's made with organic, natural ingredients, so you can feel healthy... while eating something the size of your head. Prices are affordable, and honestly, the portions are so big you might leave with dinner for later--or a new personality. It's got a chill vibe, friendly staff, and great people-watching. Basically, you come for brunch and leave questioning why you ever ate anywhere else.

    Wild Carvery is on the list for Yelp's 100 Best Sandwiches in the country (ranked #30) and it's right here in Burbank! They serve organic and natural sandwiches so you can feel a bit cleaner when eating here. The staff is so friendly and so kind, which I'm sure is part of the reason people love Wild Carvery. Great service can turn a frown, upside down! They offered us joining their Rewards program right away, which we did, and it then awarded us $10 off our first visit. I love a deal! With mostly indoor seating, they do have a few tables outside and it's pretty good people watching. The staff found my friend and I sitting outside, bringing our whole meal right out to us which was nice. Both the Steak Panini with fries ($22) and the Steak Melt with fries ($22) were excellent and well portioned. The prices may feel a bit high to people but keep in mind the high quality ingredients being used, plus I had leftovers. My steak panini had shaved filet mignon, melted mozzarella cheese, garlic aioli, and tomatoes on a grilled ciabatta - loved it! I look forward to trying more on my next visit and accruing those rewards! Pro-Tip: It's walkable and right by the Burbank AMC Movie Theater so it's great for a pre or post movie meal.

    I give this 5/5. We were the first customers. Hospitality was good and friendly. 5/5 Inside was clean even the bathroom was well maintained. Later on more and more people came in. Steak and eggs was cooked and seasoned well. Breakfast sandwich with fruits were just as good. Crunchy toasted bread and seasoned egg with something. Parking can be a challenge since it is by downtown Burbank. Overall it was a good experience here.

    If you are looking for one of the BEST BURGERS in the business go to downtown Burbank and land in Wild Carvery at Burger enthusiasts must make this an absolute destination. This restaurant level business has outstanding cuisine . Surrounded by great downtown atmosphere and massive meal portions provided here. The Grub: The star of the menu IMO, and is the first thing listedbon their menu, their exceptionally massive "King" Pastrami Burger, 5/5 stars which flawlessly combines some of the "best I have ever had" pastrami with a tender Waygu cheeseburger. Their highly recommended (By fellow Yelpers of course) burgers seasoned and cooked to requested perfection. My role dog today also had the steak sandwich 5/5 stars which was sliced filet mignon on a ciabatta hoagie roll and described the steak as super tasty, with the mozzarella cheese and garlic aioli closing the deal. To compliment the burger and sandwiches they add a generous mountain of crispy fries 4.5/ 5 stars with your order,( cooked similiar in texture and size of In & Out Fries) Which means if the burger doesn't absolutely destroy your hunger pangs the mountain of fries at Wild Carvery guarantees that no one leaves their restaurant complaining of portions size. They also have a surf and turf Burger that I will return for anyway moving on. Lastly I had a Mexican Coke and that was the only downfall as I paid more than $7 for one bottle, I guess that's the price of luxury, but I had an option not to get it and still chose to do so, they also have complimentary cups and water and will offer you ice for your cup. A spectacular first visit and meal is only as good as its hospitality, and the front-of-house team at this establishment provides an exemplary standard of care. A very special shoutout goes to Nigel and Bernard, who deliver unparalleled customer service with warm smiles and attentive professionalism throughout the entire Behind the scenes, the kitchen staff (during my visit) deserves immense praise for their more than exceptional culinary skills that bring the amazing pictures on the menu to life. Felix and Marcello masterfully prepared our dishes from scratch, highlighting their skills. Food was so good I stuck my head in the kitchen to thank them all personally. Their combined precision and dedication to their craft are why this spot is #30 on Yelp's Top 100 Sandwich Shops in the U.S. for look em up..!! Tell em Michael J. sent you..

    I love wild carvery. It's probably one of my top fave lunch places in Burbank. Though sandwiches are like $18ish+, I will say their portion size is big enough to justify the cost. I usually eat only half a sandwich and take the other half home for lunch the next day. I also think their chips are delicious!!! I'm a fan of their turkey club sandwich! I also have gotten several of their salads and they are equally large. Parking is easy either in the public parking lots behind the store. There's also street parking around the block or metered parking out front.

    King Pastrami Burger
    Britney P.

    I had a fantastic experience at Wild Carvery in Burbank! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the inviting atmosphere, and the plenty of comfortable seating, that made it a great spot for both solo diners and groups. The place felt polished but relaxed, definitely a restaurant you can enjoy whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or to settle for a nice dinner. What really stood out to me was the FOOD of course! I tried two of their signature items. The King Pastrami Burger and their Jambalaya Pasta. And honesty, both were absolutely stellar. The King Pastrami Burger was a flavorful masterpiece: thick, juicy beef perfectly complemented by layers of smoky pastrami, melty cheeses, YES I said cheeses... and house-made sauce that brought everything together. Every bite was rich, bold, and incredibly satisfying. Easily one of the best burgers I've had in the area. Also! I did have the fries with the burger, and it had to be one of the best I've ever had!! They were damn near shoestring fries. They had a crunch and crisp that I won't forget about. Another must try. I was served a pesto like sauce with bread, this was incredibly good. I enjoyed it so much, that I kept going in for more! I even dipped my fry in this often. A unreal combo! The Jambalaya Pasta was a pleasant surprise as it was my first time having it! It was a unique fusion that worked beautifully. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the spices, and the cajun-inspired sauce had just the right kick without overpowering the other ingredients. Incredibly flavorful! Plump shrimp, savory sausage. It felt like a Southern classic with a modern twist, and I can't wait to have it again. The service was another highlight. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. I never felt rushed, also everything was brought out in a quick turnaround time! Which was impressive during a busy dinner hour. Overall, Wild Carvery delivered on every spectrum. If you're in Burbank and craving bold flavors, this place should be on your radar. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    King Pastrami Burger
    Terrell W.

    So like everyone else, I had been hearing about this place all over social media. I recently found myself in Burbank and figured what the hey, and took the trip to Wild Carvery. I went earlier in the day so there were some menu options that weren't available yet but that was fine because I already knew what I would be ordering. I went with the king pastrami burger, fries and a Mexican coke. After about a 10 min wait my food arrived and my burger was as massive as described. The burger itself is a nice sized patty and it was cooked exactly to my liking. The pastrami to me had a weird texture and not quite what I expected, not bad just not what I had in mind. The bacon was crisp and the veggies were fresh and you could taste the different flavor profiles with each bite. The fries were good and well seasoned but arrived room temperature. I'm not a stickler for sending food back unless it's really bad so I just rolled with the punches. The restaurant itself is decent sized. It they were to get crowded there may be an issue finding a table but on a normal day seating shouldn't be a problem. There is also an outside patio which I prefer when the weather is nice. Overall it was a really solid dining experience; not something I'd go out of my way for but definitely something I'd try again when in the area.

    Disappointed... I so wanted to like this restaurant after hearing so much about it! This morning, we tried the Steak with Chilaquiles, sadly the beans were barely at room temperature (not warm/hot), on the other hand, everything else was good, except for needing some salt, the steak was tender and delicious! The chilaquiles needed a hint of chile and, of course, salt! Great customer service! Might come back to give it a second chance!

    The one thing that I always admire when I come to eat here, the staff has so much pride in the food they serve. I have never had a bad experience here and I don't see it happening. Today I went big! I got the King Pastrami Burger and homemade chips. They were perfectly fried. I have to ask if they have dips to go with them. The Turkey Club was HUGE!! Also with those perfectly Next I want to go for their breakfast, I have no doubt that I will enjoy it!

    First time here My son loves clam chowder so we needed to try. They have two types of pastramis, pastrami sandwich and pastrami paninis. Service was good, very helpful. A little too warm inside. They have patio seating, no dogs allowed inside. Pastrami was a little too dry. The bread was really good. Free parking in the back

    I have been meaning to try this place outs so I came here for Lunch today and decided to try out the King Pastrami Burger (I ordered it without the cheese or pickles), omg, that burger is Huge! It was a delicious and filling meal, well worth the price. The place is nice and clean and Pet friendly. The service is excellent. Both Friendly and Professional, my order was prepared in record time, (within 5 minutes)

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.

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!
