    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

The fries were seasoned well, and the entire meal felt thoughtfully put together. The team was also incredibly friendly and welcoming during my visit. Great food, great energy, and a spot I'll definitely be returning to.

There is one register available if you prefer to order with a person, but no employee is stationed there full-time, so you may have to wait a few minutes. The staff was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent customer service throughout our visit. The restaurant was clean, and the restrooms were clean as well. Our food came out fairly quickly. We ordered beef burgers, a fried chicken sandwich with avocado, loaded fries, regular fries, drinks, and a shake. The beef burgers had great flavor and were definitely the highlight of the meal. My chicken sandwich was good, but it didn't have that "wow" factor that would make me want to order it again. The loaded fries were tasty too. Our total came to $81 for three burgers, three orders of fries, two drinks, and a shake. Since everything is à la carte, it felt a little pricey for what we received. Overall, I'm glad we tried it. It wasn't bad at all, but it also wasn't a place that left me thinking, "I can't wait to come back." If you're in the area and want to check it out, it's worth trying at least once. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.

Our chips and salsa order was never put in, BUT it was totally fine because my boyfriend and I totally should have shared a burger!

It was not a big deal and my boyfriend just ate the wheat bun and I had the regular. No big deal. But a subtle thing that added to my less-than five star rating. Drinks were okay.

The one bright spot of the evening was our host, Sophia. She was welcoming, friendly, and made us feel genuinely appreciated from the moment we walked in. She provided the level of hospitality I expect from Islands. Unfortunately, everything after we were seated went downhill. We started with the spinach artichoke dip, which arrived extremely runny and lacked any real flavor. Even the "secret seasoning" couldn't improve it. It was not something I would order again. I ordered the Longboarder Burger and was equally disappointed. The bun had a strong, stale odor that made it seem as though it had absorbed the smell of a pantry shelf or had been sitting far past its prime. The smell was so off-putting that I had to take the burger apart and eat only the patty. Even then, the patty itself was underwhelming, lacking both quality and flavor. For a restaurant known for its burgers, this was unacceptable. Our server, whose name I don't recall, was absent for most of the evening. While I understand restaurants get busy, being busy shouldn't come at the expense of basic attentiveness. On more than one occasion, she appeared too rushed to fully listen to what we were saying. At one point, my partner was still in the middle of speaking when she simply walked away before he had finished his sentence. That left us feeling dismissed rather than cared for. I've always associated Islands with consistently good food and friendly service, which is why this experience was so disappointing. Sophia, the hostess, delivered excellent hospitality, but the food quality and the service we received after being seated fell well below the standard I expect from this restaurant. I hope management takes this feedback seriously, because based on this visit, I would hesitate to return.
