    Chicken Salad Club
    David S.

    Came in for a Cobb salad and accidentally ended up with the chicken salad instead, but I'm not mad about it because it was actually really good. This place was pretty busy for a Tuesday afternoon, which is always a good sign. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and we would definitely come back.

    the Buenos Aires: filet mignon, mushrooms, (minus the bell pepper), mozzarella and chimichurri on a telera roll

    First time customer. Staff is fantastic and very helpful and friendly. Most importantly, the food is fantastic. I went with the recommendation of the cashier, and ordered the Buenos Aires, minus the bell pepper. FANTASTIC! And their chips are homemade! None of that generic mass produced bagged stuff. I will go back the first chance I get. :-)

    I had this craving for a burger today, however I was directed by my yelp to The carving board for a reason. From the moment I arrived the employee AM Drawer was so kind and welcoming. Looking at the menus I had no idea what I wanted, I asked for a recommendation and was guided to the Buenos Aires, I added some fries and their coleslaw. Wow, so good! The ambience is casual and clean. Definitely coming back again. I want to try all these sandwiches. See you soon

    These are one of the BEST sandwiches in Burbank!!! I am so surprised and happy the Carving Board exists and makes such delicious sandwiches in this area! So skip any chain-sandwich-shop-- and go here folks; you'll be glad you did! (After having one sandwich I went back in and ordered another for dinner. I had too.) The service was polite and straightforward. Sandwiches presented on a carving board (of course!) The ambiance is your typical sit down family friendly atmosphere. The food is obviously the main star of the show here! This is a seriously good sandwich shop (better than Mendocino Farms, I'll say it!); a local business as well. One worth supporting too once you get something here. I really liked their French Dip sandwich for one, and the Turkey Dinner sandwich! You really can't go wrong here guys. Nicely done Carving Board! Definitely adding this to the list!

    Very impressive burger presentation. A little too hard to eat. It's a mountain of a burgers. Good flavor, very fresh ingredients. Just a lot to handle. Better be hungry if you order this one. Has outdoor seating. Kinda small inside the restaurant. Order at the counter and they bring it to you. The house made chips were really good.

    We were starving for lunch. And what a great choice. So peaceful and quite atmosphere. Great choices. The sandwiches were so yummy. And the cookies were warm and so tasty. This place is highly recommend and I can't wait to tell my family and friends. Nice staff as well.

    I've been coming here for over 5 years. I love their sandwiches. Try the "Roughage" if you are vegetarian. The "Buffalo Chicken" sandwich is great if you like a little spice. I highly recommend their skinny fries as a side or the salad. I also love that they have real brewed Iced Tea (not the fake fountain stuff). Enjoy?

    Amazing Turkey Chili
    Ieda A.

    11/2023. Turkey chili is awesome , please have it available in a large bowl. Love this place just wish there was music to create an upbeat vibe. Pet friendly and multiple healthy choices. Totally worth every penny. Don't forget to try their desserts....cookies and yes their butter cake? Butter something?

    Sweet November
    Craig H.

    Checked my Yelp! app for a place to eat on the way to the Airport and came upon The Carving Board. Ordered the Sweet November turkey sandwich. What a great sandwich! All the ingredients tasted fresh and all worked well: Turkey breast, goat cheese, cranberry, baby cucumber, tomato, bermuda onion and balsamic glaze on 9 grain wheat (I did take the onion out as I believe onions overpower flavor profiles in most sandwiches). Too bad there isn't a Carving Board restaurant near me.

    Bentley with tomato soup
    Jenny T.

    Fast and friendly service, absolutely exceptional food and nice, clean restaurant. My friend and I came here for lunch and we had a great time. We were surprised that it was not busy at all. Or food arrived about 10 minutes after we ordered it. I got the turkey club with no cheese and lettuce wrapped, with a side salad that came with the meal. My friend got the Bentley with tomato soup. They do lettuce wraps for all of their sandwiches so I got one since I'm gluten-free and they didn't have GF bread. Everything was perfect except they only have like 10 minute parking on the street near them and there are no lots or parking garages near them. We had to park a couple of blocks away and walk there. I didn't mind the walk, but I may not come here with others unless we are just picking up food since there is virtually no parking. I do plan to return, though. They got my order right and it tasted so good!!

    Clydesdale roast beef and tomato soup

    The Clydesdale roast beef sandwich is excellent, I highly recommend it. Service was fast and friendly, and the ambiance is casual and relaxed, just like I like it. Also, very yummy, thick and delicious tomato soup. All at a reasonable price.

    Cheeseburger and Fries
    Janie S.

    Ordered the cheeseburger & fries which arrived on a carving board. I get it but I'm a clean freak and would have preferred some paper between my burger and the board. Bun was perfect & didn't overwhelm the burger. Nice amount of fresh lettuce and tomato. The burger was delicious & perfectly cooked but tasted a bit like Salisbury steak. French fries were almost toothpick thin - way too thin. Service was excellent and accommodating.

    Fried Oreo it's huge!

    Do the sandwiches come with chips or fries, or are those extra?

    Chips or salad no cost. Fries are part of premium sides for 2 dollars extra

Located right in downtown Burbank, you walk in and order at the counter, you get a number, and they bring the food out to your table when ready. It's very casual, plenty of seating inside and outside. Staff were super friendly and welcoming, which is a huge deal and very rare nowadays. They even had a new happy hour special. Who doesn't love a $3 beer with lunch? As for the food, I was thoroughly impressed! Pastrami melt was amazing! Full of delicious pastrami, melted cheese, and pickles. So delicious! Fries looked like they were actual fresh made fries, not frozen, which was a nice surprise. I could also tell that they make their ranch from scratch. The bbq chicken sandwich was also delicious. Side salad was super fresh. Everything was so delicious! Portions nice; prices fair. I am impressed with Wild Carvery because I could tell that the ingredients are fresh and the quality is high. I also suspect that they make their own pickles? But I'm not sure. If quality and freshness are important to you, I highly recommend checking out Wild Carvery. I can't wait to come back and try their burgers.

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!

However, I am compelled to rate this establishment one star due to a particularly unpleasant experience with a female deli employee whose first name begins with the letter "J." Despite my frequent visits, the overall customer service in the deli and meats department has declined. The season butchers have been replaced with individuals lacking the necessary experience and customer courtesy that were previously present. Over the past three months, I have encountered the same issues with this particular employee. It is important to note that the fee charged for slicing a Tri Tip into a carton container is not the primary concern. The issue lies in the employee's behavior and attitude, specifically their unwillingness to properly wrap the sliced meat. This has occurred on multiple occasions, most recently at the checkout counter when the cashier pull the foil-wrapped package from the plastic bag causing the juices of the meat to spill all over the counter. This has happened to me every time this employee has served me. The Tri Tip sliced meat is dry and devoid of juices due to this careless employee's failure to wrap the meat carefully. It is imperative that this situation be addressed. Management should provide this employee, "J," with proper training on how to wrap sliced food correctly. Additionally, it is crucial the ambiance that all employees, including the deli and butcher employees, maintain a pleasant and friendly demeanor. A salutation is always appreciated. Despite these concerns, the BBQ remains outstanding as always.
