    Went here for lunch with my friend. The only good thing about this place was its great service. I didn't get the guys name but he was extremely nice, friendly, and went above and beyond delivering great service with a smile and willingness to help without any attitude. Even though that this is not a full service restaurant, we asked for sauces and he was happy to bring it even though it was placed for us to pick up at the front. I ordered the tuna wrap. It tasted ok, nothing special. It came with lots of fries. My friend ordered turkey club and she said was good but I didn't try it. A few hours later until the following day, I had severe upset stomach and nausea and dizziness. I think something was wrong with the tuna wrap because I didn't eat anything else that day.

    Nicely ran clean establishment. The food was very tasteful and fresh. It's been presented as a tease of some sort so, I'll be returning to complete review on a full experience

    Clam Chowder Bread Bowl
    Tiffany H.

    We ordered the pastrami sandwich with chips, clam chowder bread bowl and the king pastrami burger with fries. The pastrami sandwich was delicious and they give a generous amount of pastrami in their sandwiches. The chips that came with it were my favorite. They were freshly fried potato chips. Super crispy and yummy. The king pastrami burger was also delicious! The flavors of the burger all blended well together and they gave a lot of pastrami as well. The clam chowder bowl was flavorful and had the perfect amount of creaminess. Service was excellent! The server came to check in on us and made sure our tables were clear of any finished plates. There is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors at the restaurant!

    Wild-caught Shrimp Salad

    I didn't think that Wild Carvery would have good salad options but I was wrong. The grilled shrimp salad that I ordered was filling and delicious. The serving was huge and I appreciated that the staff was able to accommodate my request to swap cheeses. The burger that my husband ordered was also scrumptious. The place was clean and spacious. I liked that the staff quickly wiped down each table after it was vacated. Overall, a solid choice for those looking for yummy salads and sandwiches in downtown Burbank.

    Chilaquiles and Ribeye
    Anni Y.

    Hugely disappointed after hearing so many good things about their ribeye and pastrami burger. The food ended up being bland, overly salty, cold, and honestly nowhere near worth the price. We came on a weekend for brunch and they had already run out of menus at the front, so people in line were just standing there trying to figure out what to order with nothing to look at beforehand. The tables took a long time to be cleaned. Parking: Metered parking on the main street, but there's free parking at the garage near the AMC. Food: We got the Chilaquiles and Ribeye, Pastrami Burger, and two coffees, which was $72. For that price, I expected the food to have good flavor and quality. The coffee tasted super watered down, the pastrami burger was way too salty, and the fries came out cold. The ribeye was honestly the biggest disappointment. After hearing it was "the best ribeye around," I had high hopes and ordered it medium rare, excited to try it. The ribeye turned out to be a really small, thin cut of meat that was overcooked and tasted pretty cheap compared to how it's hyped up online. The chilaquiles were bland and soggy, and the beans were too. The whole meal just felt really underwhelming for the price. Service: Pretty minimal and slow. You order at the counter, grab a number, and they eventually bring the food out. Nobody checked in on us. Overall, Wild Carvery felt way overhyped from all the online reels and food posts. The food definitely did not live up to how it's portrayed online. The only thing I really liked was the location in downtown Burbank.

    This is a restaurant where you order at the counter and sit down with a number. The staff brings the food to you when it is ready. They had country music blazing over the speakers. I did not mind it, but my family found it annoying. The portions are big, and they do not skimp on the meat. The food was really good and the service was really great! Everyone who worked there was very friendly and helpful. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could.

    If you're ever in Burbank and suddenly feel like your brunch standards are way too low, go to Wild Carvery. This place doesn't just make brunch--they make life decisions. We're talking about the steak and egg, which is so good it might ruin every other steak and egg you've ever had. Then there's strawberry banana French toast --because apparently regular French toasts just aren't dramatic enough. Everything's made with organic, natural ingredients, so you can feel healthy... while eating something the size of your head. Prices are affordable, and honestly, the portions are so big you might leave with dinner for later--or a new personality. It's got a chill vibe, friendly staff, and great people-watching. Basically, you come for brunch and leave questioning why you ever ate anywhere else.

    Wild Carvery is on the list for Yelp's 100 Best Sandwiches in the country (ranked #30) and it's right here in Burbank! They serve organic and natural sandwiches so you can feel a bit cleaner when eating here. The staff is so friendly and so kind, which I'm sure is part of the reason people love Wild Carvery. Great service can turn a frown, upside down! They offered us joining their Rewards program right away, which we did, and it then awarded us $10 off our first visit. I love a deal! With mostly indoor seating, they do have a few tables outside and it's pretty good people watching. The staff found my friend and I sitting outside, bringing our whole meal right out to us which was nice. Both the Steak Panini with fries ($22) and the Steak Melt with fries ($22) were excellent and well portioned. The prices may feel a bit high to people but keep in mind the high quality ingredients being used, plus I had leftovers. My steak panini had shaved filet mignon, melted mozzarella cheese, garlic aioli, and tomatoes on a grilled ciabatta - loved it! I look forward to trying more on my next visit and accruing those rewards! Pro-Tip: It's walkable and right by the Burbank AMC Movie Theater so it's great for a pre or post movie meal.

    Breakfast sandwich.

    I give this 5/5. We were the first customers. Hospitality was good and friendly. 5/5 Inside was clean even the bathroom was well maintained. Later on more and more people came in. Steak and eggs was cooked and seasoned well. Breakfast sandwich with fruits were just as good. Crunchy toasted bread and seasoned egg with something. Parking can be a challenge since it is by downtown Burbank. Overall it was a good experience here.

    I have been seeing advertisements on Fb for Wild Carvery and been wanting to try. So we did and ordered their Pastrami sandwich and Chicken wrap. It is good and will come back for it. Great service. Ambience is simple and clean.

    I love wild carvery. It's probably one of my top fave lunch places in Burbank. Though sandwiches are like $18ish+, I will say their portion size is big enough to justify the cost. I usually eat only half a sandwich and take the other half home for lunch the next day. I also think their chips are delicious!!! I'm a fan of their turkey club sandwich! I also have gotten several of their salads and they are equally large. Parking is easy either in the public parking lots behind the store. There's also street parking around the block or metered parking out front.

    King Pastrami Burger
    Britney P.

    I had a fantastic experience at Wild Carvery in Burbank! From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the inviting atmosphere, and the plenty of comfortable seating, that made it a great spot for both solo diners and groups. The place felt polished but relaxed, definitely a restaurant you can enjoy whether you're grabbing a quick lunch or to settle for a nice dinner. What really stood out to me was the FOOD of course! I tried two of their signature items. The King Pastrami Burger and their Jambalaya Pasta. And honesty, both were absolutely stellar. The King Pastrami Burger was a flavorful masterpiece: thick, juicy beef perfectly complemented by layers of smoky pastrami, melty cheeses, YES I said cheeses... and house-made sauce that brought everything together. Every bite was rich, bold, and incredibly satisfying. Easily one of the best burgers I've had in the area. Also! I did have the fries with the burger, and it had to be one of the best I've ever had!! They were damn near shoestring fries. They had a crunch and crisp that I won't forget about. Another must try. I was served a pesto like sauce with bread, this was incredibly good. I enjoyed it so much, that I kept going in for more! I even dipped my fry in this often. A unreal combo! The Jambalaya Pasta was a pleasant surprise as it was my first time having it! It was a unique fusion that worked beautifully. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the spices, and the cajun-inspired sauce had just the right kick without overpowering the other ingredients. Incredibly flavorful! Plump shrimp, savory sausage. It felt like a Southern classic with a modern twist, and I can't wait to have it again. The service was another highlight. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. I never felt rushed, also everything was brought out in a quick turnaround time! Which was impressive during a busy dinner hour. Overall, Wild Carvery delivered on every spectrum. If you're in Burbank and craving bold flavors, this place should be on your radar. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    If you are looking for one of the BEST BURGERS in the business go to downtown Burbank and land in Wild Carvery at Burger enthusiasts must make this an absolute destination. This restaurant level business has outstanding cuisine . Surrounded by great downtown atmosphere and massive meal portions provided here. The Grub: The star of the menu IMO, and is the first thing listedbon their menu, their exceptionally massive "King" Pastrami Burger, 5/5 stars which flawlessly combines some of the "best I have ever had" pastrami with a tender Waygu cheeseburger. Their highly recommended (By fellow Yelpers of course) burgers seasoned and cooked to requested perfection. My role dog today also had the steak sandwich 5/5 stars which was sliced filet mignon on a ciabatta hoagie roll and described the steak as super tasty, with the mozzarella cheese and garlic aioli closing the deal. To compliment the burger and sandwiches they add a generous mountain of crispy fries 4.5/ 5 stars with your order,( cooked similiar in texture and size of In & Out Fries) Which means if the burger doesn't absolutely destroy your hunger pangs the mountain of fries at Wild Carvery guarantees that no one leaves their restaurant complaining of portions size. They also have a surf and turf Burger that I will return for anyway moving on. Lastly I had a Mexican Coke and that was the only downfall as I paid more than $7 for one bottle, I guess that's the price of luxury, but I had an option not to get it and still chose to do so, they also have complimentary cups and water and will offer you ice for your cup. A spectacular first visit and meal is only as good as its hospitality, and the front-of-house team at this establishment provides an exemplary standard of care. A very special shoutout goes to Nigel and Bernard, who deliver unparalleled customer service with warm smiles and attentive professionalism throughout the entire Behind the scenes, the kitchen staff (during my visit) deserves immense praise for their more than exceptional culinary skills that bring the amazing pictures on the menu to life. Felix and Marcello masterfully prepared our dishes from scratch, highlighting their skills. Food was so good I stuck my head in the kitchen to thank them all personally. Their combined precision and dedication to their craft are why this spot is #30 on Yelp's Top 100 Sandwich Shops in the U.S. for look em up..!! Tell em Michael J. sent you..

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.

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.
