This isn’t my first time here. Use to come here all the time with the family. This is definitely the epitome of a family restaurant and family owned. Interior is on the drab side. Definitely glad they got rid of the carpet in the dining room. Small steps I would assume. Came here with my mom because she loves their turkey dinner. Our server wasn’t that busy, but a little out of sorts. Two tables got their salads before us and we ordered before. When we asked where they were she seemed confused. Needless to say she did bounce back. Turkey dinner comes with mashed potatoes, salad or soup, sourdough bread, stuffing, and mashed potatoes and gravy, and cranberry sauce. It is definitely a lot and of course the majority of the people that go there…it’s a second meal for them. That being said, it’s kind of worth the price. I have had the turkey myself and it is not bad, but it is a little too salty and processed for my liking. I decided to have the pork chops this time. They come with mashed potatoes two raw carrots, LOL…yep, soup or salad, small soufflé cup of applesauce, and fresh sourdough bread. The pork chops were overcooked and had no flavor. I had to add salt. I decided to get my dressing put on the side. That was a great idea for myself, considering the fact, my salad was drowning the last time. I always get the ranch dressing because it is fire. Dipping the sourdough bread in the ranch dressing is also good. If I had my choice of time to come here it would be breakfast. Their breakfast is never a miss. Lunch or dinner however could go either way. Even service. Service is always better in the morning because their veteran servers are there. Anyways, not bad food. Try breakfast it’s the best here.

11/5 ok fine, yes three nights in a row. I didn't have a car and didn't feel like going far from the hotel. So of course i walked back over here. I got the double burger (like a Mac but bigger and better) i would get it again. Steak fries were good. Cholula fans, they got the BIG bottle ;) Tonight was very quiet, different vibe but still saw two new friends from last night. That was nice. 11/4 Back for dinner and hang out with my new local friends and made a few new ones as well. I had the salmon salad with the Bleu cheese dressing & crumbles on the side, that was key- thanks to 'Buffalo'. 11/3/23 first time here. What a cool place. I was just looking for a spot to chill out and have a drink. I was thrown off by all the breakfast data... But i knew i needed to check it out. Really cool underground bar / lounge area. Friendly people hanging out, had some laughs, it was really nice and i was made to feel like i had been a regular for years. I was given a nickname "NY Dave" - lol. The service was great, the chicken quesadilla was really good and a nice size too. Margaritas were good. Beer on tap looked decent, wine and alcohol served. Nice bar with a metal top. Comfy bar stools that say "stay as long as you want". The GF would love them because they have a back. Nice lounge tables and booths. A good spot to chill and have a nice convo with whomever you need to. Alvaro at the bar is a good dude...

Open since 1959 Tallyrand is one of the more famous diners in the valley, especially in the Burbank area. Inside looks exactly as you would expect, a diner from the late 60s or early 70s and the sort of neighborhood hang out spot where all types gather for a great breakfast. Inside has many different seating options, from counter to table to booth. Our server was very polite and the food items came out very quickly. I would say my favorite part of this place is the price because it is very fair and much less than a lot of other places close by. There is a large, free parking lot attached so parking was very easy. The food is pretty good, but not great. There are better diners around Los Angeles but the price here is hard to beat. For my meal I chose my favorite breakfast dish, which is Eggs Benedict, which is only served on Sundays. I felt the dish was fairly good however, the hollandaise was not as creamy as I like and the eggs were a bit over hard. We also started off with a Cinnamon Roll, which was honestly very good and I would recommend ordering. The other dish we ordered was the Pancakes & Eggs and the eggs were very dry and really lacked flavor. We both believe that a great breakfast starts and ends with the quality of eggs. Overall, a fairly priced and historic diner in Burbank worth trying at least once. I would recommend but only if you are already in the area.

If the coffee doesn't wake you up, Marty's service sure will! Most of my Yelp! reviews usually focus on word of mouth recommendations or great service. This one features both. But first, seriously, Marty was a huge part of our breakfast experience! Food, atmosphere, and value aside, go to Tallyrand to sit at Marty's table! During a local visit, our shuttle driver highly recommended Tallyrand for breakfast. Now that we have dined there, it's easy to see why it's been voted Best Breakfast in LA (multiple times). And our meal validated the shuttle driver's suggestion. We were staying at a nearby hotel and Tallyrand was within walking distance. When we stepped inside, I knew it was going to be good. This place has been open over 60 years and it had that classic breakfast joint feel. You don't stick around that long without being good at what you do. Speaking of being good, the food is excellent! The pancakes are just as billed. Extra eggs and buttermilk makes a difference. And I don't know what they did to my scrambled eggs, but I wish I could make them this fluffy. Everything on our plates was amazing and cooked exactly how we wanted. Plus, the food came out very quickly. Marty was so kind and had a fun, engaging personality. Even if you go to Tallyrand and don't get Marty, you will not be disappointed!

My first time in this long standing neighborhood restaurant I would absolutely give 4 1/2 stars for the food but unfortunately the waitress we had today was god awful! She never introduced herself but our receipt says her name was Alexis P. She took our order she brought us 3 coffees with not one spoon insight ( I ended up using a knife ) When she brought the garden salad she sort of plopped in front of my mother . She never came back to see if our coffee needed to be refilled the bus boy refilled our coffee and brought us utensils and napkins and he was actually more helpful than she was . Now two other families came after us but they seem to actually get their food before we did. Alexis finally arrived with our food and never came back to see if we needed anything else and if we did need something we had to wave her down. Just not a pleasant experience and honestly if we come back and she happens to be our waitress we will asked to be moved to another booth. I mean for $100 for 4 people and a not so busy evening her service should have been better My apple pie had mold in it to my surprise . Disappointed

Finally a Burbank diner with a seasoned and delicious potato hash! Overall a five star classic American breakfast experience except for higher prices than other local diners ($15 for two eggs sausage and coffee - toast and potatoes incl.); however the price was offset by the large portions, quality of the ingredients, extremely friendly and prompt service. For example my decaf coffee (which was good!) never reached the bottom of the mug as it was always getting topped off when the staff walked by. The link sausage was not a afterthought! It was cooked perfectly (crispy outside and tender inside) with a very hearty size compared to other local spots. I was surprised how busy the place was (~80% capacity) on a Friday workday morning and it made for a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. The staff was engaging and chatting with myself and other customers which made it feel like a hometown spot rather than just a restaurant.
