What an amazing place! This place does not disappoint. Atmosphere, food & service are all exceptional. The food is bursting with flavor, along with beautiful presentation. The room has hugely high ceilings, with a small tree growing on an upper level. What a fantastic place to dine in. Thank you Christian & Ronnie & staff!!
Graze the small plates! Beet Salad was exceptional. Pork belly tacos converted my husband to a taco lover! Angry mussels made us happy! Even the toaster points were superb. The pork chops were large and succulent. Finished off with butter cake, chocolate sauce and a port. WE will be back to try everything we had no room for. AWESOME!
We had a wonderful server Carina, who was attentive and caring. Especially because the bartender hadn't come in and she had to pivot to doing different tasks, Hats off!! We had two appetizers, Angry Mussels and Pork Belly Korean Tacos and the crème brûlée for dessert. Carina brought the crème brûlée with a candle because she remembered it was my birthday... Angry Mussels were delicious and savory. Finger licking good! It had the perfect amount of spice and the Parmesan garlic toast was so delicious to dip into the sauce with the crumbly linguica, and sliced jalapeños were delicious to bit into. We asked for extra bread and indulged in extra calories happily! I love bread! The Korean pork belly tacos were good as well, and very generous in portions. We couldn't order any more food but enjoyed every morsel we ordered. Going back again soon to try happy hour time at the bar and try out Bar Bites... We took a walk around the block before we hit the road back up the hill and that felt so good. We will mos def be back! Thanks Burban KItchen! : )
Love this place!! I've been a fan since they first opened. Their appetizers are the real showstoppers here - the fired green tomatoes, beet salad, and Brussels sprouts are my personal favorites. My family likes the ahi tuna and pork as main dishes, but you really can't go wrong with anything there. The cocktails are decent - the garnishes are great, but the flavor is lacking. I ordered my usual pork this time around, but the vegetable on the side changed - I believe it was some sort of roasted veggie last time which went well with the pork. This time, I received a pile of flavorless spinach as my veggie. Otherwise, the food was up to par and delicious as always! The waiters are always super friendly, and pretty laid back given the setting. I prefer dining here when it's a bit busier because the energy is nice, but I appreciate getting in without a reservation as well.
One of the best old fashioned's I've ever had! Pleasant environment, friendly service.
Burban Kitchen has stolen my heart...err, stomach, with their Brussels sprouts! I've been here twice now, both times on the patio, both times with excellent service. The primary reason I will never be a reliable food critic is because once I find something I like, I continue to return for that one thing. I'm not very menu-adventurous. But, my goodness, am I loyal. The staff at Burban is also very welcoming of my pooch, who usually accompanies me for patio dining. I'll be back for sure!
Burban Kitchen,under new ownership for a couple of years, by Christian Michael Steinbach, locally known as Christian Michael from his flagship restaurant closed since COVID. Post COVID he took over the closed Burban Kitchen with his own flare and delicious menu. We enjoy the neighborhood feel, perfect for date night, friends getting together, & special occasions. They have a good selection of wines & speciality cocktail menu. The Burban Old Fashion being a popular one & my favorite! They recently opened for Brunch on Saturdays & Sundays too. Everyone who works there is friendly, helpful and professional. The chefs are so friendly in the back, and even Antonio who works his tail off keeping the service & cookware sparkling. Finally, the patio is comfortable on a nice day. Dan Gonzales & development partners have done a great job creating a living, working, recreating & dining neighborhood. Stop by Burban on your way to enjoy an event at "The Barn" across the street or meeting friends after a mani-pedi or work out.
