The vintage inspired decor and appealing menu convinced my husband that I would enjoy Mother's Day brunch at The New Deal. We arrived at our reservation time, but they couldn't find us on their list. Mindy then came over to explain that our reservation was cancelled. After letting them know that it was still showing valid on our Open Table account, they kindly accommodated. We especially appreciated that they honored our request for an indoor table. We ordered the Biscuits & Gravy and Huevos Rancheros. We found both quite delicious. The husband kept scraping the bowl to get every bit of that yummy gravy. Portions were just right. Mindy ended up being our wonderful server. Despite the incredibly busy morning, she remained friendly and engaging. We watched her provide the same level of service to every table, while pleasantly managing the constant flow of walk-ins hoping to dine without reservations. It was a great experience overall -- we look forward to coming back! Street parking was tough to find. The Chase bank at the end of the block is closed on Sundays so we parked there without any issues. After brunch we explored the immediate area to find a couple nice thrift shops. Cafe 89 is right next door if you're craving an ube drink or dessert. We ended up at Porto's and braved the madness there for some Mother's Day sweets to take home. :) read more

I remembering coming here years ago and I was so excited to finally stop by again! The overall vibe of this place is really cute and vintage. Their decoration is very unique even the details in the bathroom were really cool!!! The menu has a good variety of options I didn't know what to pick! The grilled cheese and tomato soup sounded amazing as well as the nachos, fried pickles, pancakes, vegan sloppy Joe, etc. we opted for the Huevos Rancheros, Brussel sprouts, and biscuit n jam. The brussel sprouts were delicious!! The huevos rancheros were good but nothing that stood out to me and the biscuit was also good but it felt a bit outrageous to pay $8 for a single biscuit. What did stand out to me was their incredible staff! They were kind, attentive, and working hard! Even close to closing time they were still seating guests with a smile on their face! 5/5 review for the staff!! read more

What a wonderful experience at The New Deal. I ordered the Mary's crispy chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes, paired with a glass of wine, and everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken was perfectly crispy, the sides were comforting and well prepared, and the wine selection complemented the meal beautifully. The decor and overall vibe really stood out -- stylish, welcoming, and relaxed without feeling pretentious. It's the kind of place you immediately feel comfortable settling into. Katrina took exceptional care of us during our visit. She was attentive, friendly, and genuinely kind, making the experience feel special from start to finish. Her service alone would make me want to return. A lovely spot with great food, great atmosphere, and outstanding service. I'll definitely be back! read more

My wife and I stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon for a quick snack and a cold drink. Score! Happy hour from 3 to 6 pm! We got a glass if house white wine and a local craft brew draft, plus the hamburger sliders and heirloom carrots with burrata. All were excellent. Total bill was $45 before tip. Service was excellent also. read more

They get 4 stars more so for the service and the atmosphere. Love the decor in the restaurant and if love vintage like me the bathrooms are so nicely decorated and it feels like you've stepped back in time - in a good way. All of the employees were very nice and attentive. They were pretty busy when we went but still made sure to check in on us. They have indoor and outdoor seating which I love. As for the food, loved my fries and my boyfriend liked his buffalo wings but the salads weren't great. The dressing was barely there and didn't have much a taste. My steak was cooked great but we wouldn't order them again. However we saw some people who got burgers or ordered off the dinner menu so we'll definitely go back and try something else. read more

Oof. What to say about this place. Ambience: Ithought it was nice. My daughter said it was the whitest place she'd ever been to, but I thought the combination of vintage items and modern decor worked. Food: we both ordered burgers, the chicken sandwich and a turkey burger. They were both very good. The salads were so so and the dressing was different for each sandwich. The one they gave us for the chicken sandwich was better than the oily mess I got for the burger. Cleanliness: honestly we were both freaked out about this. All of the glasses seemed vaguely dirty as did the silverware. There were bits of something floating around in the water in the water glass. My suspicion is they're using some cheapi detergent -- level up people. Use something that makes your glasses and silverware clear. I don't know what the bits were floating around in the water. It was unappetizing, and we almost walked out because of it. Service: the server was relatively attentive, so no complaints there. A little weird in terms of the fact that she was really pushing the alcoholic drinks, but whatever. She was fine. Overall? I wouldn't go out of my way to go here, but if you're in the neighborhood, maybe give them a shot. There's not a lot there. It's pretty much this place, a couple of coffee shops, or the Italian place down the street. Take your pick! read more

The New Deal - Mmm less than clean table - American Near Me - Burbank, California

Absolutely loved this place and I can't believe I had never stopped in before. The service was incredible and you can tell that they have a lot of regulars. The space itself is so homey and eclectic. I ordered the vegan burger, which was made in house and it was delicious...could have used a bit more seasoning/salt but I'll just ask for a shaker next time. My Chardonnay hit the spot and I think I found a new favorite in Burbank. Parking can be a bit difficult in this busy stretch of Magnolia, but we managed to find a spot about a block away. read more

I recently had a delicious lunch with my daughter at The New Deal, and I must say, the experience was lovely. The restaurant exudes a cozy vintage vibe, making it an inviting spot. Its location is ideal, nestled right in Magnolia Park, surrounded by some of my favorite vintage shops.Our server, Mindy, was an absolute gem. Despite being busy, she was friendly and attentive, ensuring we felt well taken care of. I opted for the turkey burger with sweet potato fries, and the addition of pesto really enhanced the flavor of the burger. The sweet potato fries were a standout too, I enjoyed them !Since it was happy hour, I treated myself to a glass of house red wine, which complemented the meal nicely. My daughter chose the classic All American burger with fries, and she really enjoyed it as well.I'm already looking forward to my next visit, where I plan to try something new from their menu! read more

After picking up my shoes from Deluxe Shoe Repair I stopped in to The New Deal for lunch and it was a great experience. The vibe reminds me of my favorite spring and fall visits to Napa and Yountville. The restaurant is simple yet elegant with great "American Song Book" music playing in the background. Had the Blue Eagle burger which was very good and a glass of their house red wine that was reasonable prices and very good! I will be back! read more

The staff were a little overeager to take our order, coming back to the table very quickly after giving us menus. I don't think it'd even been five minutes since we'd been given the menus! But they were also happy to give us a little longer, and came back when we were ready to order. The patty melt I got was...not great, to be honest. The cheese had little flavor, or what flavor it did have was overpowered by tarragon. The house made chips were nice! The bathroom honestly kind of creeped me out. There was way too much going on, and the lights were very dim, so it sort of felt like antiques were looming at you in the darkness. In another setting, I would've found all the items very interesting to look at, but not with my pants down! Overall, I'm not sure if I'd be back. Some of their other dishes sounded interesting and I did enjoy the overall aesthetic of the restaurant. read more

There's street parking to get here. The vintage decor is really neat and has a chill vibe. It's a fairly cozy restaurant with limited seating both indoor and outdoors. There's a sunday brunch menu but also a main menu. The service was quick and staff were really nice. The Roosevelt burger was great! You can have the patty cooked to your preference. The bacon is nice and juicy. The fries remind me of In n Out's fries. Which I don't mind. But you can get homemade chips instead as a side. The food is slightly on the pricey side but it's definitely worth a chance to try. I would return to try other menu items. read more

The New Deal - The Roosevelt Burger with fries - American Near Me - Burbank, California

The New Deal is a wonderful addition to Burbank's Magnolia Park area. It's a great starting point for weekend brunch and mimosas, then some spins through the boutiques and novelty shops, ending with coffee at one of the cafes further down Magnolia Blvd. It's an eclectic, attractive, space, reminiscent of NoHo's Idle Hour or other 1933 Group establishments: the type of place to call drinks "libations" and encourage their staff to sport bowties and twirly mustaches. Appreciated touches of whimsy include tables decoupaged with deco-era newspapers and pretty art labels on the glass table water bottles. Quaint appearances aside, the service is excellent, the drinks are delicious, and the food is outstanding. We started with a round of tasty Aperol spritzes, and selected two items from the brunch and lunch menu: skirt steak eggs benedict and the beef short rib sandwich. The benny was great with tender steak and perfect hollandaise, and the short rib sandwich was phenomenal: flavourful beef, a tangy aioli, perfectly caramelised onions, fresh rocket, and a pillowy soft ciabatta roll. I chose a side of fries instead of house chips with my sandwich, and they were remarkably, perfectly cooked. Our waiter was attentive and friendly. Even on busy weekends, there's plenty of free street parking down Avon. Brunch here was a delight, and we're looking forward to coming back to try the dinner menu. read more

Not even going to lie this is my new favorite spot. Went twice in a week. I've tried the short rib sandwich and the fried chicken sandwich. The short rib sandwich was amazing. The fried chicken sandwich was okay. I ordered both sandwiches with fries ranch and ketchup - their ranch is good. They're a lil skimpy on the fries here but not a deal breaker. I also love their mimosas. The bubbly and orange juice is chefs kiss. I drink the first one down fast bc it taste so good. Next time ill add pics of the food. Their menu look solid and I'm excited to try more things on their menu including the short ribs as an entree. read more

I met a friend for my first lunch at The New Deal. Loved the fish sandwich--but be warned: it's a little messy! But sooo good, especially with the house-made potato chips. The place is bustling, but still quiet enough to hold a conversation. Our server was great, like an instant BFF. Next time, I'm going for the grilled cheese or ahi tuna sandwich. If you have the time before or after your meal, take a walk to visit the many resale shops and gift stores on Magnolia. read more

I can't tell you how many times I have driven by this place and made a mental note to eat here. The name alone grabbed my attention...So, I bookmarked it on yelp. Finally!!!! I can cross it off my list & add it to my favorites...It's so quaint, romantic & cozy feeling. The inside decor reminded me of a French Bistro that you might find on a side street in Paris. Our very friendly server Connor, greeted us and brought us a nice carafe of cold water asap on this very hot summer evening. The service was top notch and quick. Connor was very attentive and answered all of our food questions. We ordered: The short ribs which came with mashed potatoes & seasonal greens. 5/5; Brown Derby Cobb Salad w/home made creamy Italian dressing was 5/5. My girl Olivia loved her short ribs and I loved my salad. They have a back patio, cafe style tables out front and a long row of tables inside. The decor won me over. (I usually do not include a restroom pic but this one was a must:) *2025 is their 10 year anniversary xoxo *Prices are moderate *Plenty of free street parking *Bringing back Live Jazz Nights so keep your eyes open. read more

I go for my fave, the Steak Salad. However, steak portion is about 25% of what it used to be. As a matter of fact, I looked up photos on Yelp and my plate compared to one from just one month ago, was drastically different. My plate had four small strips, 3/4 inch. Not sure I'll be back. Gave it 4 stars because service was good despite it being pretty full for only one person working the floor. read more

The New Deal - Easy street parking - American Near Me - Burbank, California

The New Deal is one of the few actual restaurants in Magnolia Park. It's street parking only, as is most of the area, but there's always a spot down a side street. The restaurant is very unassuming from the outside but has a chic vintage vibe. Aside from tables they also have these gorgeous green velvet banquettes, which are a nice touch. The only thing I don't like about the decor is the tables. They were covered with newspapers and then covered in some sort of a sealant. But after 10 years of business, the tables are peeling, which doesn't seem very hygienic. As for the food and service, though, pretty good! Our server was Mindy and she was very friendly and attentive. My friend and I came during brunch, so they were pretty busy but we were still seated right away. I ordered the goat cheese omelette and my friend had the salmon Benedict. The food was good but I felt like the servings were average, which I actually don't mind. But it's not really a leftovers place. One minor complaint about the food: my omelette was supposed to come with green onion but it didn't. Maybe they were out. I didn't bother inquiring because I just wanted to eat. While I didn't have a 5-star experience, I'd definitely come back and try some more dishes. There's a lot on their menu and so much looks delicious. Plus it's also a wine bar so it'd be fun to get drinks with some gal pals here! read more

Burger patty is so small it is much smaller than the bun, so when you bite it you get a bunch of cheap bread, and I asked for medium for received well done. $17 not including fries and drinks.

The service was wonderful. And I loved the love of this little restaurant. They had a beautiful patio even though it was raining so we didn't get to sit on it but I'm sure I will next time. Both of our burgers came with fries though we both chose to spend the $1.50 to upgrade to sweet potato fries. The patty melt was good. And the beef short rib sandwich was also good it just felt like it was missing something and in this case it was pickles so we asked the waitress for some and it elevated the sandwich tremendously. However I will say that I do feel like it needed more grilled onions because i could even taste that they were in there. Other than that everything was great and I definitely recommend this place. read more

Mindy was our server. She is the best! Fun place. Laid-back terrific selection of food well prepared. It's a winner!

So this was delicious and very enjoyable, a great place to catch up with a friend. The server was very friendly but we were put off by her offensive inappropriate (and really nonsensical) political pin she was wearing. Hey, this is America, you're welcome to express your views, but in a business, it's, well, bad business. And to condemn any version of law enforcement is asking for trouble, condoning a dangerous message possibly perceived right now as condoning violence -- it's bad news, bad vibe. Almost ruined our dinner; it raised frustrating feeings. We went out to avoid the news and the other stuff, the division, the everything, all we try to get away from now and then. Restaurants should help us leave that stuff outside, not remind us to be pissed about current affairs The food was great though, but see how that all gets overshadowed by the stupid pin? read more

A vibrant revival meets modern vintage chic farmhouse-esque open window gothic cafe restaurant... With unique thick wood tables, mixed match comfy chairs (in places) and green mossy long booth seating... Awesome natural lighting by day and mood lighting by night with local flavor /street views projecting in off Magnolia Blvd & Avon Street. You can enjoy old films playing on their flat screen, take in the messages, framed art and history on their walls as well as relish in some sensational service with the food as high in quality to match. I popped over with my friend Tiffany, not having seen her since before the holidays last year. Being the foodie enthusiast we are we delighted in not only conversation about food and life, but every amazing detail in this diamond in the not so rough of Burbank. Made to aged news printed menus highlighting their soups, sandwiches, starters, burgers, beverages, various main... Plus all the beverages. The wine selection is wonderful, the beer options just as unique... Don't even get me started on the coffee, teas, juice, milk(shake) bar or the out of this world soda shop of craft pop options. Do try their Veggie Sloppy Joe (it will leave you wanting more)... And much of the menu. Tiffany had a Short Rib Sandwich on Ciabatta she loved. I think among the restaurant I notice people enjoy all parts of the menu like the Sabels Epic Tomato soup on a cold day (doesn't get better than that). New Deal has so many things, including an in-house Vegan Burger they make from scratch I'm eyeing for next time! Q Tips: It's street parking only, but worth the adventure! One of LA's cleanest + coolest restrooms!! Ask about the bread options, some dairy & egg free some not, gluten-free option also. Lots of dessert (for all)! The menu doesn't have asterisks or letters to indicate allergens or dietary needs. So items are clearly labeled veggie, vegan or gluten free, but otherwise you can ask the knowledgeable personable people who run the show. read more

The New Deal is my absolute favorite restaurant in the area. This really is my 3rd place, the place I go when I want to eat a good meal, absorb a comforting environment, and chat with the amazing staff. It's cozy, welcoming and the food is consistently good. The staff have all worked there for ages, and they remember you when you return. I love the decor, and the fact that they play old movies on the telly is an extra bonus! It fills a unique void in the local restaurant market - a cheerful, inviting space with a solid menu offering food with good variety, and an excellent wine list, where you can linger and chat with friends and do some interesting people watching in the always-interesting Magnolia Park neighborhood. This is a family-owned spot, and you can feel that in the way everyone greets you when you come in. The owner is often there, and will come by your table to see how you're doing. I cannot say enough about this amazing little restaurant, and I'm sure we'll be back again very soon. read more

I can't say enough good things about The New Deal across the board (the food, the drinks, the ambiance), but above all is the service. Mindy in particular is the best server I've ever had the joy of meeting in a restaurant. From the moment we stepped up to the door she was accommodating and got us sat and comfortable promptly even though the place was busy and close to closing. She was efficient but never made us feel rushed. She was friendly in a genuine way, not in a server trying to get a tip way like you so often experience in nice restaurants. She was knowledgable about the food and the wine, and made us feel confident about our order when we asked for feedback on our picks. You can also use InKind here which is such a benefit, and they have a good loyalty program on their own. Finally, as dinner was wrapping up, I got a totally debilitating migraine making me feel incredibly ill. She and the other kind woman who were closing shift got me new ice water, offered me sprite to help the nausea, helped my boyfriend pack up our leftovers quickly, and made me feel like I was not burdening them or offending them as I tried to not be embarrassed, they made me feel cared for. Later at home when I finally felt OK enough to have the leftovers they were still delicious!! They have so many events like happy hours, live music, brunch, patio outback, etc. so I can't wait to go back again for more good food and good people. Thank you Mindy and team! read more

I was debating whether or not to leave this review but considering I paid $90 for one appetizer, two entrees and two iced teas I had to. My husband and I have eaten here before. It wasn't amazing but it was a decent date night the first time around 2 years ago. They have a new chef so we thought we'd give it a try. I got the crispy chicken dish and it was all wrong. According to the description it was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. What I got instead was a soggy and dry piece of chicken breast that was cold and had NO FLAVOR. The mashed potatoes were hot seasoned and drowning in brown butter and the green beans tasted like they were dunked in sugar and again no salt. The chicken use to be a bone in piece of chicken and how it's a 1/3 of the portion for the same value. It's sad the best thing we had was the street corn that was drowned in mayo and the iced tea. Not the best food and definitely not at the price. The service however was wonderful. read more

I was so hungry after work today. I have came to the New Deal before once enjoying a nice hot cocoa, tried their dinner plates, and now I am trying their lunch side of the menu. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich....as you can see. I could not wait to dig in!! The chicken is the perfect amount of crisp and the sandwich all together is just so yummy. I will definitely keep this in my regular rotation of good eats. The staff every time I have came here have been so kind to me and whoever I bring. Ambiance is so cozy. Thank you for the tasty meal ND! read more

The wife had a burger, which was grilled wonderfully. She had a Shirley Temple, which was the icing on the cake. Will come here again and try other menu items. Thank you so much.

The food was good enough but what earned 5-stars ( and I don't give those out lightly ) was that I love that this place is really going for something and it doesn't seem to make sense under capitalism. They had so many actors having fun in character and period costume. It was unexpected and delightful and made the experience fun and unique and interesting. IDK if they'll be able to do that every night or maintain it in a consistent basis but I like to see people getting together and doing things unconstrained by the arbitrary ridiculousness of our society. I expect to go back and hope you'll try it out and bring friends and I don't think they'd mind if you got into period costume and character yourselves so could be interesting if you're into that. read more

We Burbankers don't like to brag, but the 12 walkable blocks on Magnolia Boulevard (between Buena Vista and Hollywood Way) are an awesome way to spend an afternoon. Nail salons, antique shops, thrift stores, coffee shops, cafes and restaurants -- street parking galore, and remember that Burbank is the city without a parking meter. Downtown Burbank is fun and all, but our small town really shines over here. The New Deal is one of those family-owned restaurants. I love riding my bike over here for a homey lunch and Mexican coke (for energy on the bike ride home). I'm always torn between their fries and the homemade potato chips, which are served super hot. You cannot go wrong with a burger here, of the "gooey cheesy" grilled cheese. Most fun thing -- your check comes inside the pages of an old book. Whenever there's a fundraiser around town (school uniforms, local charity), you'll always see The New Deal as one of the donors. I was already a fan when I won a TND gift certificate inside a gift basket at some Burroughs High School Fundraiser. Burbank represent. read more

As a Burbank resident, I always passed by this restaurant but never stopped to dine in, until my partner and I finally tried it out this past weekend. After doing some window shopping in the area, we were getting hungry for lunch. Because we were already nearby, I suggested that we try out The New Deal. We were seated very quickly because surprisingly, the restaurant was slow on a Saturday afternoon. We both ordered the ahi tuna sandwich with natural cut French fries. Our food came out quickly and the ahi tuna was just seared perfectly. Service was also great, and our overall dining experience was good. Plus, the interior of the restaurant is nice and clean. It features steampunk aesthetics and is reflective of the Industrial Revolution. read more
