Late lunch/drinks near NBC in Burbank
Out-of-town visitors will be attending a taping at NBC tomorrow night. They have to be in line at 5:00, so we'd like to meet them for a drink and/or snacks before that. Nothing fancy, just someplace to hang out and visit for an hour or so.

The little Choza Mama peruvian cafe is right across the street/patio dining. I don't think they serve alcohol, just some interesting south American soft drinks. www.chozamama.com
There's a branch of Acapulco across the street, and a McCormick and Schmicks about 1/4 mile southwest on Olive.....not sure what time happy hour starts at these two. Michaels Bar & Grill is also practically across the street and a bit north on Olive. http://couponclipper.com/loc/MICHAELS...

I just couldn't recommend Choza Mama... the food is just not up to snuff. I'd go to the Smokehouse or McCormicks and Schmucks... or up to Bistro Provence.

M&S happy hour starts at 3:30 or 4:00pm and goes until 7pm. The bartenders are quite good there. Happy hour food is okay with the exception of the 1/2 cheeseburger with fries that goes for $1.99. It's pretty good.

I'm sorry, but you're giving wrong information. I called the Burbank location and happy hour is until six.

Decent. Watch the salt and eat quickly as it overcooks on the hot plate.

Ribs USA may be some of the best ribs in L.A. It's on Olive down the street from NBC.

Thanks everyone - it looks like it'll be M&S. I didn't realize there was one in Burbank.
