Lancers Family Restaurant - Review - Burbank - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"When you first step inside Lancers, you might think you accidentally popped into a Denny’s. This Burbank time capsule has the same generic entryway set-up, complete with a glass pie case, a Lotto machine, and a claw-machine game next to the host stand. Things get more interesting, however, once you notice the number of people chatting in vinyl booths with dirty martinis in hand. Equipped with a full bar, this old-school diner offers the novelty of pairing a Bloody Mary with your tuna melt or washing down a banana split with an Irish Coffee. Drinks aside, Lancer’s is a quiet, charming spot usually filled with retired couples eating omelets for lunch (and a great place for people-watching, too)." - Nikko Duren
