“Went to Sam's for the first time today... all I can say is yum! Food was fresh and delicious. The service was excellent, very friendly! Love how they cook the kebabs over charcoal out front. Restaurant was clean which is always good sign! Will definitely be back!“
“Unbelievably good food. I had the Memphis style pork rib meal. The dry rub is perfect and delicious. Add the occasion dip of their homemade BBQ sauce for more perfection. The beans were homemade and had a light smoke flavor with some meat in it. The potato salad was unique and delicious as well. They take real pride in their food as they should. Some of the best bbq I had had in a long time…and I try a lot of them! Go treat yourself. Take out only“
“I ordered the Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries & beans. Also ordered a side of plantains. Excellent food and smiling staff. Mildly spicy.All food prepared to order so it's nice and hot and fresh. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice area on Maclay's "cafe row" east of Truman.Recommended. Try it.“
“The brisket, pulled pork and bunt ends were great... for LA. The brisket was well seasoned and very tender (almost too tneder], the pulled pork was soft and a good mixed of stringy and chunky pieces but a little too dry and the burnt ends were juicy. The garlic bread was tasty and the cornbread was tender and not too sweet. The homade bbq sauce variety was nice, including the mustard sauce for the pulled pork and maple bbq sauce.For the sides, the garlic potatoes were tasty but the mac and cheese was average because it was too thin and lacked en I ugh cheese taste.Service was quick and efficient.“

“Finally got a chance to try this out since had my eye on it since it opened in the neighborhood. The restaurant is on the smaller side and has about 15 tables total so definitely have a bit of patience if going right at dinner time. They only take reservations for parties over 5. If you go at non-peak times, should be able to get seated right away. The host and servers were friendly and constantly came by to clear plates as they were finished and refill drinks. Food wise, you can order a la carte or from 2 levels of AYCE. We went for the premium AYCE and enjoyed it after leaving stuffed and wagyu oozing from our pores. The meat quality was excellent and while each plate was only 4-7 slices, you can just keep ordering if you can handle all the rich and fatty meats. The carpaccios and other appetizers were good and you can order 1/2 size of many dishes so you don't overstuff yourself. So while the price ($75), for premium is definitely up there, it is fair for the quality of the meats and other options. You have a 90 min. limit so be mindful of that as the food does not come out as quickly when the restaurant is full. Overall, something to splurge on once in a while and if you're looking for premium meats. Friendly tip- wear clothes you don't mind smelling like bbq/smoke as their exhaust system could use some improvement as you can visibly see the smoke later in the night when busy as the exhaust at each table is lacking in effectiveness.“
“Stopped in here on a recommendation from a friend while visiting the area. I was not disappointed at all. The tri-tip was very good and tender. I also tried the coleslaw which was also very good. I would suggest this place if you're in town and looking for some good service and good food.“
“Delicious food at a reasonable price. The food was made fresh after I ordered it. Employees were nice. I can't wait to try other items on the menu.Parking: This restaurant is right next to Stater Brothers so there is a large parking lot.“
“First time here and will be back. The food comes in decent portions with 10 different sides. The short ribs need a bit more marinade, the Hawaiian bulgogi is yummy, Spicy pork delicious with a medium spice level. It is not Smokey , service is great!“
“How I've never managed to come across this place till today is beyond me. The pork belly is really wonderfully good. Paul is really warm and friendly behind the counter. The pork belly is rich, crunchy in the right places, seasoned to perfection. See pictures, go here, eat up, you'll love it.“
“Oh my Lord!!! I have never come across such an amazing family. I had a bad experience a couple of months back and the owners asked me to come back for a second time, and oh my God was it heavenly. I don't live close so it took me a while to return but I am so glad I finally did. The owners Lenah and Richard, I hope I'm spelling it right, went above and beyond to make my and my baby's day. I got to try their pesto pasta! It is amazing! Highly recommend it. Now onto the main dish. The Tri tip sandwich was phenomenal. First of all the size of the sandwich is huge, and it comes with a side. Owner explained sandwich comes dry, and the way to eat it is to put the bbq sauce and then dunk it in this amazing au jus. I could drink that on its own, so good! The short ribs were delicious as well. They come with bbq and they are so smoky and savory. Should definitely get this if it's your first time. And the pesto pasta, yum! Owner also took the time to speak to me about the chickens and explained that they use thermometers to double check everything is cooked well (they really do have them all around). It's just that it depends on the chicken, some just are redder than others, but they are cooked well, since they double check the exact temperature with the thermometers constantly. She was so amazing and was beyond welcoming. I leave this place with a smile and cannot wait to bring my kiddo next time so she can say hello in person. Truly a jewel of a family and establishment.“
“The service was very fast, the sides were soooo good (especially the potato salad and the clear noodles), and the meat tasted very fresh and marinated. Our servers were very attentive and fast. The ambiance was welcoming and clean. Highly recommend this place!“
“Came here after six flags and it definitely hit the spot! The food was really good and the portions are super big. We got full after only a couple of bites since it's a type of food that's super filling. Nonetheless the meat was super tasty and I especially loved the chicken! Thank you for the amazing food and service!“
“An institution with the best brisket in town.Small funky lil shack on Sepulveda you'd drive right by if you didn't already know it was there and were specifically looking for it.They have a lovely well appointed dimly lit dining room and the waitresses are nice and make effort to be charming in that comforting way restaurant staff used to be back in the day.But I'm going to assume most, like me, phone and simply pick up their order to take out.Mostly I assume to also like me maintain some sense of self respect.What with all the hungry sounds of your indulgence of the savory tastings feeding deliciously eating licking your fingers smacking your lips and what not... it's just embarrassing, shamelessly undignified... Nobody needs to see that ツViel Spaß!Christon ツParking: Since is a very small place there is parking albeit limited“
“It was lunch and I was hungry I stopped a new spot to me ! I love trying new places ! It was worth itI went with the hot wings just was in the mood it’s priced well but wow it was amazing the hot wings had the correct amount of sauce fresh chicken excellent dipping ranch“
“First let me start this off by mentioning how FURIOUS I was when I left the hub yesterday. I ordered my food inside and waited an hour to finally receive it. I was like super mad... I even asked the cashier to let the owner of MGF know how angry and annoyed I was LOL. I was complaining the whole way home that I would never go back. Let me tell you something though.. My attitude completely changed when I opened up the bag of food at my house.. Holy shit. The food was phenomenal. I ordered the catfish, Mac and cheese and bbq baked beans. This food was . Like stupid good. Like so good I'm definitely going back and definitely waiting an hour if I have to (I'll place the order on the app next time in advance.) The catfish was super delicate and perfectly seasoned it was perfect... probably the best I ever had. The Mac and cheese and baked beans were the best I've ordered from anywhere in a long time. The cornbread was fire. The meal was so good my wife and I are low key planning a picnic somewhere soon, JUST so we can order the bucket of chicken that they offer so we can try that. My current message to the owner is: Your food is insanely good. 11/10 exceptional. It's still not right to make people wait an hour for it, y'all got to get a more efficient system back there because that's just crazy. The entire lobby was sitting in there waiting for there MGF orders for what seemed to be forever.. But the food was worth it and I'll be back. I'll just place my order WAY TF ahead of time. Thank you for the amazing meal tho.“
“I really meant to include a photo with my review, but it was gone before I could get one. Outstanding BBQ from some genuinely nice people! The brisket was moist and tender and the ribs absolutely fell off the bone. Don’t skip the mac and cheese or the greens. If you’ve been driving by and not stopping, you’re doing yourself a disservice. Eat at AJ’s!“
“I had an absolutely fantastic experience at this meat shop! The service was top-notch, and the flavors were simply mouthwatering. Patrick went above and beyond to accommodate my changing order, demonstrating professionalism and kindness throughout. His exceptional service truly sets this establishment apart from any other meat shop I've visited. I highly recommend this place to anyone in search of delicious meats and outstanding customer service.Keep up the excellent work, Patrick!“
“Place has a total revamp and upgraded feel to it. You can tell the guys that run it care. Makes good food and good vibe, great area they cook outside sometimes and it smells great ? try it out, really got that Local Burbank feel Traditional food with Eastern Flavor and care.“
“Stopped by this business earlier this afternoon and met the owner. Was in awe of the quality of food and service. Humble people, incredible quality of food, and a beautiful small business we drove 40 mins based on a friend's recommendation. Personally I don't understand the few haters who wrote negative reviews on this place - all I can say is this place tops every single Armenian food and catering business we've ordered 10s of thousands of service/food from! In summary we loved everything about the place - quality of food, service, ambiance, and will recommend it unequivocally to all friends and family. Moreover, we will go out of our way to order future catering from Gev's kitchen. Way to go my new friend, you earned our business and trust for years to come!“
“Food was pretty good and well seasoned. Chick was awesome, brisket was good but maybe a little thin, links were good, pork ribs were maybe on the dryer side then use to but still good. Cornbread was on point, and cold Mac taste a little store bought.“
“Went to the Smoke House for St. Patrick's Day corned beef & cabbage special dinner. Also had the Tulamore Dew & brew special. Service was excellent. Everything tasted so good. Oh, of course we had the garlic bread. It was a fine evening.“
“this is the only thai place my family gets take out from — simply incomparable to any other thai i’ve had in the valley or LA. the portions are large, the flavor is balanced, and the texture of the rice and noodles are always perfect. absolutely best place for thai in LA in my opinion. highly recommend the pad thai, pad see ew, house fried rice“
“If you can't get to SGV, where the quality and selection of Chinese food is incredible, Sam Woo is a great valley option. Standouts are their BBQ meats; roast duck, roast pork , char siu. Good selections of all noodle dishes; chow menial, Lo Meir, chow fun. Then like most Chinese restaurants hundreds of options. The key here is their consistent authentic dishes. Casual and good service.“
“Very clean place and the food was good. They serve most of their meat frozen but still has good flavor. since there was not alot of people there we did not wait long in between meat orders. They provide little sides like bean sprouts, kimchi....etc and a complimentary house soup and salad before you start digging into their meatsParking: About 10 to 15 stalls, very small limited parking lotWheelchair accessibility: Yes handicap parking and no stairs“
“I absolutely love their Kaluah pork with cabbage or tacos! They are amazing! I'm not a huge fan of Hawaiian food other than that pork! Yum!!! The owner can be a bit grumpy at times but he runs a tight ship I guess, haha! The price is a bit high, but so is rent in Burbank... so I get it! Anyway, anything you buy from there will definitely not leave you hungry!!“
“Mia's intuition is spot on! She has an amazing technique that really allows her to get to the core of an issue. As soon as I sat down with her I felt at ease, like she was family. She gave me immediate insight and I felt relief in the places I was struggling. Highly recommend her services!“
“Food and Service 10 out of 10! This is our second event booked with Marcelo and crew. From the first call, he was the upmost professional, very attentive and responsive. Our event was held in Santa Ynez, Ca. Marcelo & crew arrived at 6:30 am to service food by 3 pm. From beginning to end, theses guys got their stuff down. Their set up is impressive, then they start preparing all meats, marinating everything on site, all high quality meats, sausage, ribs, chicken served with salad, bread, chimichurri sauce and empanadas (beef, chicken, spinach) and we opted for roasted veggies for 175 ppl. Our guest could not stop raving about how spectacular the food was. Being from Argentina, I can attest this is as authentic as it gets! They are legit. Throughout the day, Marcelo's attitude was so positive and there was nothing he did not answer with, "no problem, we got it covered ", this was so reassuring for a "control-freak like me" lol. I just knew I had nothing to worry about when it came to the food. At the end of the day, the breakdown was as impressive as the set up, as I watched them clean every utensil, cookware and grill back to new before loading things back in their trailer. I wholeheartedly recommend them for any event small or large, they will not disappoint. Thank you Marcelo and crew for a spectacular job.“
“Ohana BBQ is my comfort Hawaiian food spot on Ventura Blvd. They stand out among the others because it's Hawaiian dishes with Korean BBQ. Every time my wife and I go , the gentleman who takes the phone orders is also the one ringing us up and he's so pleasant each time. My favorite item on the menu is the japchae with short rib. They're also very generous with the teriyaki and hot sauce which is a plus. Also the wall of celebrities who've dined there is such a great touch!“
“WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!! This was so good we had Bruce's BBQ at Montrose for the Beer festival and then one day I'm driving by Sunland and I see his sign. So happy that there is now an establishment that I can get my BBQ fix anytime we need. Pulled pork is killer, I'm a big baked beans person and wow it was so good with all the little bacon pieces mixed in. Hot wings were nice and crispy with just the right amount of spice. Hands down the best BBQ joint in the area and we will be returning soon I recommend Bruce's BBQ to anyone who loves a homemade BBQ made with love and the service is incredible.“
“The food was delicious. Service was quick and amazing. Some of the food is made to order but it's worth the wait I ordered fried rice and they gave me a big bowl I barely finished it. This was some of the best Korean BBQ I've had lately will definitely come again. Bring some extra dollars for the pinball games.“
“Shawarma House transcends the typical fast food experience, offering a culinary journey that delights the senses.

It's this combination of delicious Shawarma and excellent service that makes Shawarma House a must-visit destination for food lovers.“
“I haven’t eaten the food yet and already want to recommend this place. Vivian has one of the most beautiful spirits I’ve encountered. She makes you feel like family as soon as you walk through the door. She gave me a sample of their bbq baked beans while I was waiting and no lie they were the best bbq baked beans I’ve ever tasted. Also the Kool-aid is A1!!! Highly recommend!“
“The food is now much better under the new management. We were there Sunday night. Unfortunately it was empty. Of course we had quick service and very fresh food. There were several takeout customers during our stay. I hope more people re-discover this place and it can survive. We will be back.“
“Absolutely stellar BBQ catering service! We hired them for our company event, and they exceeded all expectations. The food arrived right on time, hot and fresh, and the presentation was impeccable. From the succulent pulled pork to the mouthwatering ribs, every dish was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Their attention to detail and professionalism made the entire process seamless. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious spread! If you're looking for top-notch BBQ catering that will impress even the toughest crowd, look no further. Highly recommend!“
“Wonderful Owners! Give them a try!I'm a foodie and I like trying all types of food and restaurants, especially Filipino food. I sometimes get turned away from going because feel like I will be out of place. I was craving something sweet and started searching Yelp in Panorama City for a spot to grab Turon to try for my first time. I landed on Sally's, so I stopped in after seeing the good reviews. It seemed like a small family run place that does mostly take out orders from small to large. They were getting ready to close but I still I asked about their Turon. They were sold out for the day and kindly advised it usually best to order ahead because they do sell out and it's best to get them fresh. I believe it was the owners, a man and woman working who also asked me how I heard about them and started explaining all about the food choices, providing recommendations, showing pictures and how to order for next time. The best part was they did have 1extra Turon and gave it to me free and refused to charge me. I really wanted to pay but they said it was a sample so I knew what they tasted like for the next time. Honestly, this made my day!!! The owners made me feel so comfortable and welcomed as they could tell it was my first time visiting and I was out of place. It made me feel like I was at my Filipino friends house who is always making delicious food to try. I'll definitely be back to grab more Turon and try all their food. I love supporting small business that appreciate their customers like I saw today. Thank you!!!!!“
“I've had their food at Skate Oddity events and it is DELICIOUS! Worth the 20 minute wait. It's not fast food- made to order. So be patient. Yesterday I had the jerk "beef" tacos. The tortillas were grilled to be crispy and the beef filling and sauce was delicious. In the past, I had the pulled "pork" burrito which was also delicious. Very large portions. I always have leftovers or can share. I will definitely try more of their dishes. Excellent quality and taste.“
“I've been to this little hole in the wall. It doesn't have many places to sit but u can always eat outside. They have tables set up around the grill, where they cook there meats. I've tried the pork belly wrap. Only $10. It's more than enough to fill u up. Great food. I've gone back with family and friends and we all love it!“
“Came here for happy hour on a weeknight. Decently busy but there were a few open tables in the bar area.The bar area is pretty small but can’t beat the happy hour. For the price, the food is a great value as well as the drinks.My only complaint is that the music is way too loud for the size of the space. Or am I just getting old?“
“The difference compared from one year of the last time I visited up until today, I can say that there were some changes for the positive. Thanks to Mike and Chris, we had exceptional service. They were always on top of our orders, further requests, and hookah needs. Food is delicious. Not to mention that nothing beats having your own private spot to eat, smoke, and/or do your own work with a great view all around. Highly recommended and will be returning.“
“Well, I have to say I ordered this through Grubhub. NOT disappointed, the rib tips were so tender, greens were good too!! The cornbread was very light... don't know how they did it, but was very good!!! Beef ribs were also tender.... best tender Bbq I've had in the valley... will be regulars for sure!!!' Keep up the great cooking guys!!!!“
