About This Place

Located at 697 N Victory Blvd in the heart of Burbank, Lancers Family Restaurant is a beloved local gem that expertly blends the charm of a classic American diner with the warmth of a family-friendly eatery. Specializing in breakfast, lunch, and dinner, alongside a fully stocked cocktail bar and cozy lounge, Lancers invites guests to indulge in hearty, satisfying meals made with care and fresh ingredients.

The cuisine here is unmistakably American comfort food elevated with a thoughtful twist. Start your day with standout dishes like the Two Pancakes & Two Eggs or the indulgent Lancers Real Crab Omelette, where delicate flakes of crab and fluffy eggs create a rich, savory delight. For those craving something familiar but expertly crafted, the Eggs Benedict and the Old Fashioned Waffle Combo—served with bacon or sausage and eggs—are perennial customer favorites, perfectly embodying the diner’s inviting, home-style spirit.

Lancers' omelettes showcase both traditional and inventive flavors: the Greek Omelette is a delightful medley of fresh tomatoes, onions, and creamy feta cheese, while the Special Gourmet Omelette layers mushrooms, avocado, bacon, and tomatoes for a complex bite bursting with texture and taste. Vegetarian options such as the Fresh Veggie Omelet feature farm-fresh spinach, tomato, and mushrooms, offering something for every palate.

Beyond breakfast, the menu continues to impress with hearty classics like the Broasted Chicken Dinner, Prime Rib Dinner Special, and Steak and Eggs, all cooked to perfection and served with generous portions. The Spicy Chicken Wings and Fish and Chips are flavorful and perfectly crisp, making them delicious accompaniments or satisfying dinners in their own right.

The restaurant also spoils guests with a wide range of homemade soups and chilies, from the comforting Beef Barley to the flavorful, zesty Chili Bowl that arrives accompanied by a small green salad and crackers—ideal for warming up on a cool day. And don’t miss the dessert offerings like the luscious Strawberry Shortcake, which provides a sweet, fresh finish to any meal.

Complement your meal with a handcrafted cocktail or specialty coffee. The Bloody Mary and the perfectly balanced Old Fashioned round out the cocktail bar's offerings, while an Irish Coffee or a refreshing 1/2 Litre Mimosa can elevate your brunch experience. The coffee is frequently praised by patrons for being expertly brewed—never running dry thanks to attentive staff who are dedicated to creating a welcoming atmosphere.

Speaking of atmosphere, Lancers Family Restaurant exudes a warm, nostalgic vibe—part neighborhood diner, part casual lounge. As noted by customers, the staff's friendly and attentive service enhances every visit, creating a place where families and friends feel right at home. Jacqueline Reyes raved about the pancakes being some of the fluffiest and most delicious around, while Chef Tommaso highlighted how Lancers is the go-to spot to introduce visiting friends and family to a true taste of classic American breakfast culture.

The authentic, full-flavored meals are matched by generous portions and approachable prices, making Lancers a staple for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're seeking a delightful breakfast to start your day, a hearty dinner special like the Rib Eye Steak or Chicken Parmesan, or simply a cozy place to enjoy a cup of coffee and a cocktail, Lancers Family Restaurant delivers an experience that feels both genuine and satisfying.

    Probably some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had, I swear to you! They were extremely fluffy and delicious. I also had the turkey patty and you can tell it’s made in house, very good! Always make sure to thank the chefs, they can really whip some good breakfast here. Nice to see a diner still cranking during these times. Please support your local diners!

    A magical place. When I think of a proper American breakfast or an authentic meal, this is the spot. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Every time we have friends or family visiting from Europe, we bring them here for a true local experience. The food is fantastic — hot and made with love. The staff is always friendly and kind. The bar is really nice too, and it’s a great place for families. Plenty of parking, and we love sitting at the counter watching the cooks work while they greet us with a smile.

    This place should be a 5 star. My wife and I come for breakfast mostly, the food and service are top par. (Our decision) we tip the waitress/waiter and also the floater that is constantly making sure you never run out of coffee or any other needs. Today we can for lunch and man was it the best. We brought our young kids and they loved it. We love the fresh food all the time, their prices are amazingly better than others, given this economy. Food is always well cooked and again FRESH. Our favorite place. We pay for awesome service, great food and clean environment. I would recommend the OPEN FACE STEAK SANDWICH

    I’m lucky I get to travel for business and I get to eat at some very fancy restaurants and some local dives, I enjoy both. If you like going to a family diner, this is an excellent spot. The breakfast was great. Service was good and if I lived in LA, I would definitely be a regular.

    My friend suggested Lancers while I was visiting the area and it is a quintessential Burbank diner! Their staff was on point the whole time and theit portions are insane. If you left hungry you didn't try! Will definitely be back when I'm around the area again.
