Food is great and service was nice. Overpriced though... Reminds me of an upscale Cheddar's.

My first time there. The server recommended I get the lunch special $25. You pick an appetizer than a entrée then dessert everything was excellent.

I ordered the orange carafe of mimosas to share with a friend. It was pretty yummy. A good balance of bubbly, sweet and tart from the orange juice. We were fortunate enough to visit during HWR so I had the banana oat pancakes and the huevos rancheros. No regrets across the board. Service initially took a bit but after receiving our food the servers were diligent and friendly. For a Sunday it wasn't too packed but it was busy, nicely decorated and family friendly.

Come in on a hot and sunny day lovely establishment walk in get seated about two minutes a server comes to seat me. First time here. Get the menu look it over and I decided to get the urban breakfast which comes with choice of eggs and choice of meat and comes with potatoes and fruit. I also get a Belgian waffle with strawberries. Get my food and drink, taste everything the urban breakfast was good eggs were cooked to perfection and bacon was crispy hard and potatoes was good also fruit they could leave the melons out but some people like melon I'm not a fan of melons. Didn't try the Belgian waffle got too full. So will try it when I'm at home. All in all everything was good for a late lunch. Urban breakfast 9/10 Watermelon cucumber martini 8/10 Belgian waffle?

My first visit to Urban American Kitchen was last week to celebrate Houston Restaurant Weeks for 2024. This meal was to sample their HRW $25 lunch menu. We were promptly seated after arriving in the large and airy dining room. After reviewing the menu, I chose for my 3 courses the strawberry salad, bistro filet and tequila bread pudding. While waiting for the first course, I noticed the full bar and open kitchen behind it. The salad arrived quickly and immediately, I noticed how large it was in that big bowl. It was almost entree sized! After about 2 bites, I realized that this salad was delicious. Oh my, those greens with the candied pecans, feta cheese and fresh sliced strawberries with some balsamic vinaigrette was so light and refreshing in taste. I am so happy I ordered it. One of the best salads that I have had in a long time (5). The bistro filet was next and consisted of 6 oz. of grilled beef on top of a bed of Parmesan risotto bathed in a mushroom sauce. Flavor wise this hit the spot. That sauce and risotto were on point. The filet was good but a little tough to chew but not too much. It was a very enjoyable entree overall (4). Finally the dessert was a large piece of warm bread pudding with some cream and glaze on it and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The warm melted bread pudding melted the ice cream quickly but it was still a very good tasting gooey mess. I liked it (4). Another positive with this meal was the fast and efficient table service. They did a good job taking care of us. This meal impressed me. For $25, it was a real value. I was told their menu entree salads are much larger than the one served to me! Everything I ate was very good tasting and filling. Honestly with the portion sizes this meal could have been in the $39 HRW dinner menu. Considering the price and quality of this meal I could almost give a 5 score. I hesitate because all 3 of my courses are not on their regular menu so for now this HRW menu is the only way to get them. I would very much like to return here have another meal from the standard menu.

We ordered through DoorDash. Their side salad was one of the best side salads I've had. Very fresh spinach leaves, cherry tomato's, cucumber, thinly sliced red onion with a raspberry vinaigrette dressing. The Baja Fish Tacos come 3 to an order so my husband ate two and I had the third. Very tasty with cabbage and avocado. Their onion rings were excellent. Prices are on par with Mia's Table with comparable tastiness and quality.

A cozy restaurant that could accommodate big and small groups. I would recommend making reservation as groups of people do come in fast during lunch time. I came here for HRW. I had the shrimp skewers, passion fruit salmon, and crème brûlée. The shrimps were seasoned perfectly. The habanero mango sauce was just a little spicy, and it paired well with the shrimps. My mouth was dancing in beautiful flavors of salty, spicy, and a little sweetness. My salmon was cooked to perfection. The passion fruit sauce was delicious, and went well with the salmon. Lastly, my dessert was ok. It was a little runny but smooth custard. Service wise, it could be better. I asked for ice tea and didn't get one. My server totally forgot about it.
