BRITISH

Buchanan Arms
2013 W. Burbank Blvd., Burbank, CA 91506

Cost for 4 (before tip): $78.13

BonzaMum: The open plan dining room was far from empty, but was not at all noisy. I appreciated that. My dinner of fish and chips was delicious -- the batter was light and not greasy, the fish delicate, though the chips could have been cooked a little longer (I've developed the American preference for crisper, rather than softer, chips.) All in all, a satisfying overload of carbs and fat. If you want comfort food and don't care about calories, this is the place to go.

Peg Leg Scooty: The cockaleekie soup was really really really really good. As for the shepherd's pie, it was good but not special. It tasted just like what it was: ground beef, mashed potatoes and cheese. There was no way I could get through it all, not because I was full, but just because I got bored with it.

Dr. Drool: Generous portions, delicious food. Battered, deep fried zucchini ... what's not to love?

Lava Girl: I loved it all. The soup was awesome, and so was the steak and mushroom pie. The crust was delicious, and the vegetables and chips were not overdone; they were just right. I thought I didn't like apple crumble but really loved this dessert too. The bathrooms were clean.
