Lancers Restaurant

Lancers is a staple of the Burbank area, one of the most classic neighborhood diners you could ever visit. Solid reliable menu, lots of excellent options. I went for the croissant club, my wife went for the pastrami, both super good (though I think the pastrami was the winner). Also nabbed a Dark & Stormy from the lounge, very solid! Also got a banana cream pie slice to go... and it was absolutely incredible, probably won't be able to go again without ordering one of those every time. Gigi, our server, was fantastic! The patrons love her and so did we! The whole staff was really great to be honest. I hear the fried chicken is super great, I'll have to come back for a try!

If your looking for old school diner feels, then this is the place! The interior is definitely old and outdated but it has an old feel charm. They serve breakfast pretty much all day which is great if you love breakfast like me. The drinks menu needs to be updated. They don't have lattes or matcha, just your typical cup of joe. Service is usually fast and the staff is nice and friendly. The food is ok, solid. Nothing to rave about but not horrible either. They have daily specials which is nice. If you're in the neighborhood, definitely give it a try.

Been here before, and although the ambiance is quaint and old-timey, and the food pretty decent, it's never really impressed me as worth a review, good or bad. Today changed that. The sign at front desk said "Please wait to be seated." No hostess in sight, but plenty of wait staff. So we waited. And waited. There were staff in easy view of us, no more than 15 feet away. No eye contact, no acknowledgement, no assurance someone would be there to seat us, nothing. The conversation they were having with a couple of other guests was far too important. So we seated ourselves. Nobody noticed. We waited and no one came. I went and grabbed menus for us myself. No one noticed. Finally a busboy came by (not our waitress) gave us coffee, said he'd tell the waitress we were waiting. THEN a few minutes later she finally came around to take our order, obviously miffed that we had seated ourselves. She took our order and then disappeared never to be seen again. The busboy did everything else. Brought our food (check the photo for the quality of dishware) checked on us, refilled our drinks, a good guy. And when it was time for us to go, despite us trying to make eye contact with any of three other waitress to ask for a check, it was the busboy who went and fetched our waitress from wherever she was. She smiled finally, once, when we were paying. She won't smile when she sees the tip.

I'm a big fan of diners and the cozy comfort food they offer, and Lancers checks all the boxes. They serve a robust daily special that includes both soup AND salad--a great deal! On Tuesday, the special was Red Snapper, and the portion size was impressively large. The staff were super friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. One thing to note: they close at 9 PM on Tuesdays, so it's not a spot for the late-night crowd. Overall, a swell diner experience!

Lancers restaurant of Burbank is a hidden gem in the city. The food portions are a great deal for the money. The atmosphere is nice with the bar being separate you get the Feelings of a local bar with music from the 50s up to the 70s. The manager is on-site being a host more so than a manager. The crowd is full of locals and the restaurant sells old school favorites. The drinks are on point. Noel was a fabulous waitress with big personality. Love her. The restaurant has a quiet side for peace loving diners. The enchilada plate was full of color and flavorful as for the Buffalo cauliflower it was well prepared, crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside. And came with ranch and Bleu cheese dips. Both meals were filling. But the cauliflower were not too hot and not bland. With a great crust. I will be back to check out the Tuesday special of Prime ribs. Check out Lancers on Victory and be amazed.

Been coming to Lancer for the last like 15+ years. Always a solid cafe style with everything American. Service is good. Food is basic American fare. Nothing thats like crazy good. But good portions good flavors. Friday they have Prime Rib of Beef. Check the daily dinner specials and they have rotating daily soups.

Delicious Jewish deli food. Very nice staff. Plenty of seating. We did have to wait in line outside, but totally worth it.

As a neurosurgical and aesthetic PA, I know firsthand what makes a great surgeon--deep knowledge, the dexterity to apply it, meticulous attention to detail, and exceptional bedside manner. I've known Dr. Massry for 20 years and have seen his work up close. So when it came time for my own upper blepharoplasty, there was no doubt in my mind who I would trust. He exceeds every expectation, and I couldn't be happier with my results. I wholeheartedly recommend him without hesitation.

This is a solid, classic neighborhood diner. We've been here twice so far and are always happy we came. Lancer's has been in Burbank forever, and the dining room has an old school pie display tower, a classic Googie-ish coffee shop bar with an open kitchen, and big windows. We always go straight to the bar in the back, where it's dark, cozy, and they serve the full menu. You'll be in good company with lots of Burbank locals/regulars, watching sports or singing along to every song, some of who look like they've been hanging out there all day and don't know whether there is daylight outside. It's a fun time! The food portions are massive. They have all of the standard diner faves, and daily dinner specials for each day of the week. I ordered the fried chicken special and probably got a whole chicken on my plate, a baked potato, a chicken tortilla soup (highly recommended!), veggies and a side salad. It was so delicious! I also don't know where else you can order cocktails or beer for under $8 in 2024, but they have them here. The servers are friendly and make some mean drinks. I really like Lancer's and hope to visit for many more years.

Gigi was wonderful. Thank you for the excellent meal and incredible service. One of the best dirty martinis in the valley too.
