Outside.

No frills donut shop with a great selection of very standard donuts - which is perfect for many, including me. Service is friendly, quick, and efficient, and pricing is super affordable. Parking lot is small and busy, if you see a spot in the street nearby, I suggest you take it. And inside is exactly what you'd expect, so aside from a long counter by the window, don't expect any other place to eat. Suggest you do a box to go, or you be prepared to eat, enjoy, and leave.

One of the best donut shops. Service is exceptional. Sopanada cashier/server is an amazing and kind lady, ready to help and serve wonderful fresh delicious donuts and sandwich/bagel/breakfast combos you would want. Casual and nice, comfy and safe enough to sit and enjoy a quick break. Will get more donuts from here for sure.

Sam's fresh donuts is not what you think. It's WAY more!! Way! Sam's is a hidden GEM in Glendale. The best words to describe this business are as follows. FAMILY COMMUNITY VALUE FOR MONEY KINDNESS AND CARE This remarkable business is smothered with FAMILY who want to provide great food, great selection, kindness to all and genuine care. Not to mention the best part. VALUE FOR MONEY! 3 amazing daughters run this business. They are definitely the face of this 24/7 eatery. I use the word eatery because don't let the name fool you. They have a wide variety of food options and they are great! ESPECIALLY their croissants! (They are huge, fresh and priced perfect) The FAMILY makes this business! The FOOD makes this business! The SERVICE and PRICE makes this business. They definitely SERVE their community in a magnificent way. All three ladies are kind, caring, personable and share their pride in the family business, their food and prices. You can FEEL the difference between a grocery store and these wonderful humans kindness and care. It's not just a business to them. It's their everything. When you are in or around Glendale, California, definitely pay them a visit. You'll never regret it and you'll find yourself wanting to review them. #samsfreshdonuts

WHEN: Sun Dec 14th @11am…read more We have just arrived to SoCal by car, and before checking into our Airbnb, we figure we swing by this spot located in a ghost kitchen to pick up some lunch. After placing an order on their website, you would park in the back lot where it's free parking, and enter a tempt room of lockers. I wish they included this in the text where you are to CALL THEM to let them know you've arrived so they can bring your order out to you. It's not like the other establishment in this shared kitchen where they just leave it in one of the order cubbies to pick up. So here I am like an idiot just standing and waiting in the empty room for my order. I didn't know until I checked my email and it said to call them in my receipt. Oh well. Anyway, here's what I ordered: BASTURMA BRISKET - $29 Hand Carved Basturma Brisket, Pickled Persian Cucumber, Chaman Spread, and Swiss Cheese. Served in freshly baked pita bread. I know, what kind of sandwich costs nearly $30!? But let me tell you, you are getting both quality and quantity in this bad boy. This reads 2 people, and those 2 will enjoy this thoroughly. Yes, it's a bit on the saltier side, but that's why you have the cucumber to balance it out a bit and the warm and soft pita bread. The brisket was tender and I loved the spread (which you can buy!). It's such a unique take on the common pastrami sandwich. So remember: 1. Order online (no phone calls) 2. Park in the back 3. CALL THEM, letting you know you have arrived. 4. Enter through the big doors (its unlocked) 5. Wait for them to come out to retrieve order. 6. Enjoy!

I ordered the Basturma Brisket Sandwich which is their most popular item. I am a big fan of both Basturma and Brisket so this sounded like a match made in heaven. And I was right!!! This sandwich was epic!! The meat was tender and smoky. The spices were perfectly balanced. It had a delicious Chaman Spread, a slice of Swiss cheese and housemade pickled Persian cucumbers. The acidity of the pickles helped to balance out the rich meat. It all came together like magic. The sandwich is quite large, which justifies the $29 price. I only ate half and saved the rest for later. It was just as good cold as it was hot. I can't wait for my friends to try it. They will love it!! Great job III Mas!

It's rare to come across a real butcher shop who serves great quality meat, but also offers takeout…read morefood that tastes amazing. In a time where just about everything has gotten so expensive, isn't it time we change our habits to support local businesses that are doing incredible work? They're sandwiches are top-notch, their meats are divine, and they use fresh and great tasting produce. I only wish they could expand to have some real seating as this place is tiny and really a grab and go kind of spot. Kudos to your dedication and hard work in providing Burbank a dedicated meat market and high quality food. P.S. do NOT sleep on the banana pudding in the fridge.

The draw back is this place is very crowed during peak times and it a little too small considering the amount of customers that come. I've driven past Papa's Meat and Seafood on Glenoaks Blvd a dozen times, on our many trips to the area. We alway promising that we would stop in, and I'd finally stop in. Honestly, my only regret is waiting this long. I ordered the Luka Sandwich, which is loaded with their 14-hour smoked pastrami brisket, cheddar, pickled cherry peppers, iceberg, and Papa's aioli on toasted sourdough. The pastrami itself is a work of art--smoky, melt-in-your-mouth tender, and seasoned perfectly without being a total salt bomb. The pickled cherry peppers give it this incredible, bright pop of heat that cuts right through the richness of the beef. It's a messy, beautiful monster of a sandwich.  My wife went with the Surf 'n' Turf Bowl, which comes with their marinated "Crack Shrimp" and grilled angus beef over rice with a fresh shirazi salad. The beef was incredibly tender, but those crack shrimp stole the show--snappy, heavily seasoned, and completely addictive. You can clearly taste the quality of a high-end butcher shop in a casual, quick-service lunch.  The only reason I'm knocking off one star is the wait time and the seating is also pretty limited, so it's much better suited for a grab-and-go situation than a sit-down date night. That being said, the quality of the meat here blows standard sandwich joints completely out of the water. If you're in Burbank and want a lunch that actually feels high-quality and satisfying, do yourself a favor and drop in. I'm already eyeing the A5 Wagyu Cheesesteak for my next visit!
