What People Are Saying About Smoke House Restaurant

In Short – This old-school steakhouse attracts industry types for lunch, blue-haired ladies and gents for the early-bird dinner specials, and retro-seeking lounge lizards at night. Located across from Warner Bros. Studios, the ambience of this sedate Burbank establishment has remained intact since its 1946 debut. Moderately priced fare appeals to Valleyites seeking a meat-and-potatoes fix, or other standards like jumbo shrimp and broiled salmon. Locals swear by the house-specialty orange cheesy garlic bread. –
Editor's Tips
- Save Money:
- Studio workers save 10 percent or more on selected entrees weekdays from 4pm to 7pm.
- When to Go:
- It stands about 100 feet from the Warner Bros. lot, so the work-week crowd is mostly studio folks. Saturday nights are likely to find middle-aged couples out for a night on the town.
- Parking:
- Valet parking is $3.50.

I am now chicken to eat a steak at Smoke House Restaurant!
by Mizike
Our Server Judy was great, however, the arrival experience was lack luster as the greeter was on the phone as we walked in. After he acknowledged our party he then shuffled us off to someone else. What really left me empty was there inability to prepare my steak at the right temp. Every one else ate while I was left to eat alone. Additionally, the steak was loaded with fat around its edges. There answer to the problem was to comp our garlic bread and give us sub standard dessert (Ice cream). How can a restaurant named Smoke house get a steak of all things wrong? To me a meal comp was in order in addition to an apolgy.
I find it immoral, to ask for 30.00 for a meal and not get it right.
Great for Dinner or Lunch
by amanatlasjohn
I'm a regular here. Good food, lunch or dinner. They have live music in the bar area most nights of the week. This place is always top on my list for dinner or business. Parking is by valet only.
- Pros: Good Food, Good Service, Live Music
- Cons: Parking
Not What Is Always Has Been!
by sandra91523
On Monday 7/20 2 friends and i met for our yearly birthday lunch. We have always had memorable lunches with impeccable service and menu choices.
However, this year, we were sorely disappointed. We were seated and waited 20 mins. for someone to acknowledge us. Another 20 for drinks. 40 mins. for bread, which we ordered w/ the drinks. our waiter disappeared for long periods of time and the restaurant was not even half full. Suffice to say that after 2 hrs. of hell, we were not happy campers. When we asked for an order of garlic bread to go to be put on a separate ticket (it was for a friend), our waiter did not want to give us a separate ticket. Eventually, at our insistance, he did. The lunch was not as good as it has been in the past, the service was terrible and even the garlic bread tasted as though it had been made on Friday and was being reheated. We were very, very disappointed. Not sure if new owners are in place or if there is no such thing as "service" anymore. Very, very unhappy and i think management should be more visible to be sure patrons are being taken care of in the traditional Smoke House way! It will be a very long time, if ever, that i would elect to go back there for a meal.
- Pros: USED TO HAVE THE BEST SERVICE/GARLIC BREAD
- Cons: POOR POOR SERVICE THIS TIME!!!
