It was okay. We ate early lunch here ahead of a flight. We found seating right away (2-ppl). A server came by right away with menus. We ordered drinks (waters and an iced tea). For lunch, we ordered: - The California Obsession salad - Beef Street Tacos I enjoyed the salad. It was huge. Lots of shredded white meat too. My wife didn't enjoy her tacos very much. There was plenty of beef but much of it was gristly. I'd order the salad again. read more

Is it possible to crave a dish or a meal at an airport? Well, yes! And it's the quintessential chicken salad at Diane Mina's. Basically, it's a Chinese chicken salad -- the old-school type. And it's huge! The salad comes tossed already, which I find to be a bonus. Even if you're eating there, it comes in a to-go container, which I wish they would give you the option not to have. Always lovely staff. In fact, I was flying out of the Alaska Airlines terminal and came over specifically just to eat that salad. The other terminal doesn't have much of anything. Totally worth it. read more

We've been traveling out of Burbank more and more lately and this is our spot to eat every time. They have a good selection high quality items. The breakfast burrito, taco play and my personal favorite is the pineapple Hawaiian chicken bowl. It's so good! It's an airport so prices are high, but the food is served quick and the quality is great read more

This place was soooo good. The service took a little long in the beginning. Honestly the food and drinks made up for it! I'm BUMMED that this place is in the airport. This was the best michelada and chicken caesar wrap I've ever had....yes it is pricey but it's the airport and it's worth it. They are not stingy with the chicken. 1000% recommend! read more

Nice place to enjoy while waiting on your flight to depart. Good customer service from the bartenders. Note* the bartender was heavy handed so that's always a plus! The price points were on the higher end and they didn't offer small plates or an assortment of appetizers, since I wasn't really hungry I inquired about it. I was offered fries or house made potato chips and settled for the latter. They were alright, I could tell that they'd be better if they were freshly made and an added sprinkle of salt. read more

Never thought I would have one of the best bagel breakfast sandwiches at an airport. I got the cheddar bagel with eggs, cheddar and ham with a side of fruit. OMG!!! it was so good. Eggs were fluffy, shaved ham and they did not skimp on the portion. Charge me with whatever you want but don't make a meal pint size. I have to find this restaurant outside of the airport so I can get this delicious meal. read more

Friendly service, food arrived fairly quickly. I appreciated being able to order something healthy at the airport. I selected The California Obsession salad and it was delicious. Napa cabbage, chopped romaine, scallions, grated carrots, cilantro, shredded chicken, toasted almonds, mandarin oranges, rice vinegar, tamari, honey, toasted sesame oil, garlic-ginger dressing. The shredded chicken was beautifully mixed throughout so you got some in every bite. Seating was rather crowded and the lunch scene was rather chaotic but that's kind of the rule rather than the exception with an airport restaurant so I won't fault them for that. read more

Located inside Terminal 1 at the Burbank Airport, this is the first eatery with a bar that you'll encounter. There is a burger stand up the way that also has a bar. However, it's much smaller. My flight was delayed so I stopped in for a drink. I had to wait a bit for a table to open because other stranded travelers had the same idea. I ordered a Sidecar. It tasted good but was missing the sugar rim. Unfortunately, the drink menu did not include prices so I was shocked when I got the $25 bill for one cocktail. Next time, I'll try the burger stand. read more

Airport food is usually mediocre and expensive, but this place was surprisingly really good. The Wagyu Burger was perfectly cooked, medium rare, very tender, tasty, with an abundant amount of pickles, onions, and their special sauce was made the burger pop. I had gotten a manhattan thinking it was just gonna be mediocre food, but after digging into the burger, I realized I needed an IPA to chase it down with. My wife got their taco salad and it was also very good. Very nice portions. This meal made my trip to Pasadena well worth it. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The place is easy going and felt cozy. read more

My husband and I checked out Diane Mina's Backyard Bar and Eats at the Burbank Airport while flying home over the weekend. We had an early flight and wanted to eat something quick for breakfast. I ordered an Iced Vanilla Latte and shared the Breakfast Sausage Bagel. The bagel was super good and the sausage on it was spicy and very flavorful. The latte was the perfect pick me up and it was not too sweet - just the way I like it! I like that you can either order at the counter for a grab and go or they do have staff that walk around and will also take your order. They even had a cold section for premade items. The inside is pretty big with lots of tables and even a bar area. They also have a huge wall of TVs so it is a great place to hang out at when waiting for your flight. Staff was very friendly and attentive. They were constantly checking in on us. Overall, we were really impressed with the food and coffee considering airports don't have the greatest reputation in that department. We will be checking them out again next time we travel to Burbank! Check them out - you will not be disappointed! read more

Honestly the service is OK. But look, you are at a busy airport and the food is solid. You have to take that into account. I get their margarita pizza and ceaser salad. Both super good and always quick with the food. I appreciate this place because it's nice to grab a bite to eat. 5-star because of where it's at. Employees try their best too because I see it gets overwhelming for them. Nice job guys! read more

Good, quick service before your flight. Elica is professional and friendly. The pizza was delicious, keep up the good work!

I had the nachos and they were generous with the toppings. There was a server on sight and he was super friendly and accommodating. They have a bar on the premises and you can order via the QR code, through the server, or up at the counter. They have a great selection of pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. A great place to relax and eat a good meal while waiting for your flight! read more

The carne asada nachos are sooo good and I got about 3 lbs of food. The chips are freshly fried, house made guac and nacho cheese. Definitely on the pricier side but it's an airport what can you do. Service is friendly and fast and lots of seating. The nachos and burrito plus tip set me back $67. read more

It was actually pretty good, despite the less than perfect reviews. We scrunched in with all our luggage and ordered a few things from their massive menu: huli huli bbw pineapple, poke salad and a side of chips and guac. It was all pretty decent, but unfortunately priced with the insane airport markup you'd expect. The real winner was what happened when I attempted to recreate the poke tower appetizer from Pacific Catch in norcal. For the uninitiated, it's chips, guac, and poke. I created this from the food in front of me and it was great! (Oh and it was even better when using their beefy potato chips than when using tortilla chips.) I humbly suggest Mina's add this to their menu. read more

Clean, friendly service at the Burbank airport! I ordered the brisket sandwich and it was delicious. Meat was very tender, cheese paired perfectly with a sandwich type bread that was warm, buttery with a hint of garlic. Came with a side of aus jus. Potato chips look and taste freshly made. Nicely surprised! read more

I was starving and this was the first restaurant we came to. First of all this airport sucks (Burbank). Hubby wanted to watch baseball so we stopped. I have a burrito and wanted it in a bowl. And got 2 Snapples. $38.00 later I get my bowl. No tortilla? Had to go up to the counter for a tortilla. The food was ok. Rice overcooked but the steak was tasty. I'm never flying in or out of Burbank. There are some pesky sewer flies around. Signs of a not spotless kitchen. read more

Cool place to hang out as you wait for your flight, but when it's busy then yikes, it's a little crazy. Sis got there first as I returned the rental car so she got table service from the waiter. By the time I got there, it was so busy that no waiter stopped by so I had to order at the corner. The one waiter who served my Sis was very nice and checked on her, but before I could ask him to take my order, he took off for the bar to take orders from those folks. I'm not hating, but I'm also not chopped liver either.The food was fine. I had the nachos and no complaints there. read more

I'm really conflicted about this review. It's an airport restaurant to start, which is rarely good, in an especially run down airport (Bob Hope/ Burbank) in desperate need of remodeling. This place, however, is perhaps the only half way decent place to get a meal. They're at least trying. (?) There are two sides, a grab n go and order at the counter or a table service portion. It's not all that clear. We ordered at the counter portion and sat in the table service portion as there was little space elsewhere. Our order was two breakfast burritos and two coffees. Admittedly the portion was good, but come on, $75.00! Outrageous. Yes, I know it's an airport. The burrito was tasty enough, lots of scrambled egg (real eggs?) and you can get it with bacon, ham or sausage. We got ham. It was adequately prepared and warm, packaged in a plastic container that you can take on a plane. (I wouldn't). There was a side container of a mild dark salsa, which was satisfying and added taste. It came with fruit which was fresh and definitely contributed to the meal. The grapes seemed to have been soaked in sugar water. The table service side has a bar and many of the early morning patrons were having their alcohol drinks both at the bar and tables. The two servers I observed were hustling yet seemed impersonal in their service. This place is attempting to be a bit upscale compared to most airport establishments, yet appears to be rather 'long in the tooth' and sterile, as another reviewer characterized it. But, hey, in between connecting flights food is food. read more

Hulu Hulu chicken is interesting in the that it's inside of a pineapple (pix). It was pretty good, smaller portion, about $28, they charge a $1 sustainable fee, Whatever that is. Probably not worth it but it's an airport and seemed like the most interesting thing to eat here. It's pretty sterile design, but not too loud, probably because of lower ceilings. The hour I sat here didn't see any tables wiped. Mixture of grab and go's and orders. The burgers are probably a slightly better bang for buck. Most people here also got booze. read more

I came early evening and it's packed! Got myself a table and a server came by with a menu. I ordered the Poncho's Cantina while I waited for my flight. No cilantro, of course. I asked them to pack in a to go container so I can take it with me. The photo doesn't look good but I can assure you it's bomb. Good service. Will be back. read more

It is criminal that a salad and a coffee is over $40 here. Not only that, but on my receipt is a mandatory "sustainability fee" yet EVERYTHING is served in single use plastic! How awful. My salad was not even freshly made, but was simply a premade and prepackaged salad in a clear plastic container. Furthermore, the lady working in the restaurant did not allow my party of 3 to sit at the table for 4 and then yelled at us for taking up "too many tables" when we used 2 2-person tables. Totally wack in every sense. read more

They have these amazing bowls with rice and toppings, they come inside of a real half pineapple shell! And there's fresh pineapple in it, which is delicious! My server was great, brought me a big water with lots of ice. Which is what you need when you're traveling. And, she recommended this item been the two I was considering, and it turned out great! This was 4.5 star, but you can't give a half star. And they needed a lift from the way too low 3 1/2 star. read more

Diane Mina's is pretty much the best eatery of all the options at Burbank airport terminal A. they have cozy booths, tables, and seats at the bar with sort of a sports pub flair considering all their TVs! the servers don't really check in on you and you have to flag them down if you want something, but once they notice, they're super nice and accommodating. food isn't anything to write home about. some (if not all) salads are pre-made, and some sandwiches as well. good drinks! especially the bloody marys and their mega charcuterie garnish! i just wish they offered a real charcuterie board on their menu--wouldn't that just be perfect! read more

Incredibly expensive for sandwiches to go. Capresse sandwich was $30. Do not get ripped off.

The bartender was very kind and attentive. However, paying $32 for a margarita should be a crime.

It was decent. Menu was alright. Not my favorite airport food. But not the worst either. I'll skip on it next time.

List some prices! I expected $30 for two drinks but I got a $30 bloody Maria where the celery took up all the room in the glass. But the strip of bacon is worth $15 I guess. Sorry don't usually bitch but come-on! I asked the waitress "$55... that is for two drinks?" She said "Yeah Sorry! And walked away. read more

I just came back from Pasadena - home of the Cheeseburger. I had a meh cheeseburger at Lucky Boy's and a good cheeseburger at Pie & Burger while I was in Pasadena, but the BEST cheeseburger I had on my trip was before my flight home at the Burbank airport. Yes...an airport!!! Airports. Home of bland, sometimes barely edible highly overpriced food because - well - they know you don't have many options and you're starving. Airport food isn't generally "knock your socks off" good - but this place is! It used to be a Wolfgang Puck's which I discovered on a trip back from either Burbank or Pasadena one time and was blown away by how fantastic the cheeseburger was. I thought well airport plus Wolfgang Puck - it will probably be above average airport food but it was amazing! I was sitting there with ketchup and burger grease all over my face in shock that I was eating the best burger I've ever had...at an AIRPORT!!! The following year I looked for WP's and was very sad to see it was replaced by Diane Mina's. But the nice girl behind the counter said "our cheeseburgers are really good too" and while almost any cheeseburger is good in my opinion, I didn't expect it to be as good as Puck's. But OMG it was! I thought maybe it was a fluke or I was just really hungry so it tasted really good, but then this year I stopped in again before my flight back to Oakland and it still was just as amazing as before! Lots of fries which are also good. I couldn't eat them all. Seating is nice for an airport, staff is friendly, the place is kept clean, the condiments, cutlery and napkins are well stocked etc. If you are traveling thru Burbank airport and need food, this is the ONLY place to eat in my opinion. Pasadena - I love you - but you need to step up your cheeseburger game. read more

I recently flew out of Burbank airport and picked up a BLT salad for lunch. Service was a bit slow that day where everyone was waiting for a while for their takeout orders. I ended up waiting about 25 min for a salad so if you're in a hurry their grab and go fridge options may be your best bet. The salad was decent but overall their prices are a bit on the higher side, especially for airport takeout. read more

I don't often use Burbank Airport--it will always be Bob Hope Airport to me, and it's nowhere near Hollywood, so its new name sucks *and* is misleading--but when I do, I often end up eating at this space, which is on at least its fourth different name in the past fifteen years if my math is correct. Whatever. The name may change, but the overall operation remains more or less the same. (Are naming rights for airport restaurants sold like they are for sports venues?) But with each name change, prices increase too. I was prepared to hate my food, but it was pretty good. Thankfully, I was flying so early in the morning that the bar half of the seating area wasn't completely full of drunk people, and almost every table was open, so I got to scarf down my overpriced huevos rancheros in peace. If this weren't in an airport, it would be two stars, but they've added quite a few items to their menu, and the service and efficiency were excellent, although the value wasn't--but the value never is in an airport. What will Diane Mina's turn into next? We may never know, as they're constructing brand-new terminal buildings on the other side of the runways, and the current terminal building is scheduled to be demolished when the new buildings open in 2026. read more

No lounges at this airport, however next best thing is Michael Mina's wife's restaurant! The assortment of drinks and the variety of food aims to please. Cleanliness, service and layout, can't complain. Had the Michelada with Modelo which could have been a meal. It had the fixings of a charcuterie board and the maple bacon that warrants most wanted! The crossiant with a side of fruit was delicious and highly popular, as the folks sitting next to me were also chomping on the same thing. Huli Huli (bbq chicken or steak served with rice in a pineapple shell) was first choice but not available until 10:30 am...ugh miss flight or bask in the dish? Reluctantly chose flight not being missed. Someone lemme know please if it's worth missing the flight for! read more

Sad egg plate & coffee for $32. Imagine the cheapest, lowest-quality fast food joint you can imagine. I'm talking like Jack-in-the-box quality. Now imagine Jack-in-the-box had a sit down restaurant in a hostage environment, like at an airport, with minimal other options. That's what we're talking here. Food on the floor, potatoes from a freezer bag, cold toast, and general jankiness. Instead, go to the Denny's just steps from the airport before your next flight.
