Morrison Burbank — Restaurant in Burbank

(It’s quite clear this establishment is paying for fake reviews) smh 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wish I could say that my experience at Morrison Burbank was a good one, but besides the fresh outdoor dining experience and most of the staff being pleasant, it was abysmal and I won’t be back again unless I hear it’s under new management or a new chef has been hired. Where to begin… the wait staff, pleasant and friendly, but incompetent. We asked for water 3 separate times and was told “someone” would bring it. After waiting about 15 mins,we had ordered and were served our drinks, but still no water. So, I ended up walking to the host stand and asked someone in the kitchen area for some water and the person in the kitchen scowled at me. Not only was I picking up the slack bc of their incompetence, but I was treated rudely for it. No “sorry” no “thank you.” Once our food arrived, our server checked on us often, but never filled our water glasses, not once. When I asked for more napkins, (I was dabbing some of the grease from the onion rings that had been served on the wax paper it had been undoubtedly taken out of the fryer and placed on.) I was met with a “more?” from the food runner. 🤣 All the food was uninspired and tasted worse, not better than what I make for myself at home, and I’m a novice home chef. I had the salad that can be served with a meat patty. I was surprised to find the meat patty hadn’t been seasoned at all! Not a single granule of salt or pepper had been used! I’ve never left fries and especially truffle fries uneaten, but I left these. Hoping for some redemption we ordered bread pudding for dessert, but … terrible. I must admit I’m on the health conscious/calorie conscious side, so when I eat food that’s heavy in calories I want it to count, aka be delicious! None of the calories here counted. I’ve never left that much uneaten food and didn’t ask for a to-go box. It’s a very cute space, I hope they improve their food and retrain...

I was trying to go to the Los Feliz cafe but went into the wrong parking lot, since the parking lot was so small and such a hassle I decided to just check this place out. I went with my WW2 & LAPD veteran uncles. Off the bat. I could tell the hostess did not really want to deal with elderly just because of the tone. Or maybe it was something else. We stood to the side while they cleared a table. The table was wet. We got our drinks. Ordered the food. One uncle ordered food and myself. His sandwich. He didn’t like it. But he doesn’t like much stuff so I tried it and this time it actually wasn’t good. My burger was good though. They did not give us napkins or utensils. One blond waitress walked around filling everyone’s water besides us. Although ours were empty. We asked her later for napkins and she never brought them. Yet brought it to the people drinking beer next to us. So my uncle used the ice from his beverage to clean his hands from a messy sandwhich. Later we got more attention when it was time to pay the bill. I believe perhaps since my uncles are “elderly white guys” this is why the service was mediocre or perhaps because of their veteran hats they had on IWO JIMA and LAPD. Perhaps there was a little bit of resentment for their service. It was a younger bar environment little more “liberal” people so maybe we really should not have been there. Even leaving we said thank you to the host and they did not respond. People are free to have their views on those who have served their nation, my uncles fought for them to have that right. Yet in our case. We will not be...

Another visit... Same excellent attention to my pup. Same complimentary water and treats. Ordered chicken and rice for him, again. This visit was just my dog and me. I ordered a tap blonde (x2) and happy hour Blvd Salad and Smash Burger with sweet potato fries. (Once again, I ate half the burger before I remembered to take picture...but I took them anyway!) Finished it all off with the Butterscotch Bread Pudding. All was DELICIOUS!!! Good, friendly service, as well. See added pictures...

Extremely dog friendly covered back patio. In fact, our two dogs were served, on silver trays, appropriately sized water bowl and dog biscuits, each. They even have a doggie menu. We chose chicken and rice that our pups shared. Very tasty, freshly battered fish and chips and a margarita for me, and fried Brussels and white wine for her. Finished with salted caramel New York style Cheesecake. They have burgers, ribs, wings, etc. You'll find something and it will be well prepared. As has been my bad review habit recently, I've eaten half my meal before I remember to take a picture... Hence, no pictures this visit. (The four stars under atmosphere was a deduction for the very...
