Best Comfort Food Restaurants in Burbank

Los Angeles' Soul Food scene has really diminished over the last 30 years, so it's refreshing to have an authentic, high quality soul food experience. We went on New Year's night and the place was PACKED! Even though we were 45 minutes late for our reservation (Rose Bowl traffic), the hostess worked us in and we were seated about 10 minutes after checking in. Our server was very cheerful and knowledgeable about the menu (as was, we later discovered, the busser). We had the Ox Tails (amazingly tender & flavorful, with a touch of umami - not sure if it was Worcestershire or Soy - that gave them tang), Fried Chicken, Red Beans, Okra, Collard Greens, Yams, Corn Bread and Peach Cobbler. The chicken was crispy, yet the breast was still moist, and the red beans were classic. The okra was charred excellently (I usually don't like okra) and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Collards and Yams were authentic southern style. The cobbler was a little syrupy, but tasted great. BUT IT'S THE SERVICE THAT MADE EVERYTHING STAND OUT - from the greeters to the bussers, the staff was amazing, which made the experience all the better.

This is a delicious vegan restaurant with a casual ambiance and extensive menu. Staff is always friendly and attentive.

Amazing as always!!! I have never had a bad meal here. I’m definitely a creature of habit and ordered the short rib risotto and crab cakes, but my friend and I also tried the meatballs with creamy polenta. Divine!!! My friend really enjoyed his clam linguine as well. It was loaded with clams. Can’t wait to go back!!

Everything was exceptional—the food and service were top-notch. However, I ordered the flat iron steak and, unfortunately, I wasn’t a fan and won't be ordering it again. It had a strange flavor, almost like it was marinated in wine or something that didn’t sit well with me. I still ate it for two reasons: I was with my team and didn’t want to make a fuss. But I couldn’t quite place that flavor—no amount of salt could mask it. That said, everything else was fantastic. The calamari was perfectly fried and seasoned. The cheese bread—delicious! And my wedge salad? Wow, you guys loaded it up, and I truly appreciated that! Just the steak I couldn’t finish. Thank you, and happy holidays!

Daily Grill is one of our favorite local restaurants, and our Thanksgiving meal was quite good. The cocktails were great, the service was excellent (our server was Rick and he was awesome). The food and cocktails are always excellent, the ambiance is always very pleasant and comfortable, the parking is always convenient and simple. Thanks, Daily Grill!
