The New Deal

I’ve only been there twice, but The New Deal is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Burbank (which is no small feat! Burbank’s restaurant scene has been blowing up the past couple years, and it was already good to begin with). My partner and I got brunch and l-o-v-e-d it! French press coffee, delicious biscuits, and OH, the eggs. They know how to freaking do eggs. I got the eggs Benedict with salmon (fresh, not lox). The poached egg was TRULY spot on. The sauce was fantastic (and there wasn’t too much of it!). The salmon had a delicious crisp to it. And it was served on a bed of arugula over a delicious biscuit. It’s actually my favorite eggs Benedict ever!! My partner got the omelette, and it’s a true freaking omelette. The eggs were perfect, and it was filled with goat cheese and roasted multicolored tomatoes. On the side was a lovely arugula/cabbage salad with radishes and a citrus dressing. Amazing!! Also!! We kinda love the decor. I won’t describe it, but the palette, materials, lighting, props… it’s all of a piece and sets a fantastic vibe. Plus, the wait staff is cool! We have a lot more dishes to try, but this is definitely our favorite spot on all of Magnolia. Go there!

We ordered for pick-up after a hot day at some theme parks. This was exactly the comforting yet healthy meal we needed to continue going strong with our vacation. I had the short rib and my husband had the chimichuri. Also, as a person with a shellfish allergy, I was very happy to not be limited by the menu. Great place!

2017: I do not give a place 5 stars very often. It cant just be good, something has to put it over the top. For me it was the service Andrew provided. Avoiding canola oil is almost impossible when dinning out and Andrew did investigations on his own accord to make sure we avoided it, made special food arrangements, and provided phenominal personality and service. In addition, the decore and food add a charming bit to satiate the visual appetite. If you are on Magnolia, skip the line at Porto's and enjoy the personal touch at The New Deal. Oh, and the food is delicious too! 2022: Raquel greeted us as we entered with charm and comedy. The food was just a good a I remembered and Raquel is one of the best servers I have ever had! I had the sort rib sandwich as she recommended and it was top notch.

SPECTACULAR. Wow, what an amazing dining experience. Wonderful food, lovely service from Andrew, and one of the best cups of coffee I've ever had. The place is small, intimate, friendly, and soothing. We had the Almonds & Olives, Buffalo Cauliflower, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, the Veggie Sloppy Joe with Sweet Potato Fries, and the Rockefeller Burger, which they lettuce-wrapped for me and provided a side salad substitute. The appetizers were delicious. The Brussels sprouts were one of the best dishes I've ever eaten, anywhere, perfectly flash-fried and smothered in (get this) fresh burrata and a jalapeno ranch. Insane and mind-blowing. Everything else was perfection, including the Russian tarragon sauce served with my burger. Wow. We had such a relaxing, engaging time, and we can't wait to go back for dinner, especially with the recommendations we received from all the other happy diners!
