Burbank recs

Cool, thanks! I will look forward to checking those out soon.

Though the report was from 2017, and I’m not sure if the temple is open during the pandemic, but this writeup might help you…

  • Gourmet Romano is donezo, no more roman style pizzas.

  • Simple Things is no more. It’s currently undergoing a buildout but interestingly a google search of the address leads to… Chris’ Drippin Chicken by Wexler’s Deli.

  • Tacos 1986 is definitely the best taco shop in Burbank.

  • Raising Cane’s is now open on Olive. Is it possible to JUST buy the chicken here? Because I hate those sides.

Yea but they over charge you just for tenders and you have to buy the sauce separately

Any intel on that fish and chip place near (or maybe next door to) Lou the French? The old chip shop? Or Auld Chip Shop?

The fish and chips are very meh, but it has draft beer despite being fast casual, so that’s a plus.

Concur. I am definitely not a coleslaw lover (except on barbecue sandwiches or spicy chicken sandwiches) and those fries are just… Yeah, no.

As pointed out by @hungryhungryhippos , they do charge for the sauce but I still think buying just the tenders is the way to go.

I went by today as I was in the area, and that line had to be 30 cars long on the street, the restaurant itself was mobbed, there was a police presence. Yeah definitely not worth waiting in a line.

Some of it was because it’s brand new, but I drive by the Oxnard location all the time and that one is a mess too.

IMHO, Chick-fil-A has better flavor, but Canes sauce could easily be treated as a beverage.

In defense of the combo I would say you can actually create a pretty mean sandwich I hollow out the bread stuff it with tenders, sauce, cole slaw, fries, and hot sauce.

I should have heeded this warning. This is a place that would not survive without an alcohol license.
