    Uptown Portobello Burger w/ slaw
    Tommy D.

    Had the Uptown Portobello Burger with Coleslaw and 4 tall Coors Lights. Highly recommend.

    From the bar....

    Seemed like 2 minutes after I ordered my local craft beer and gourmet burger, I overhear the guy around the corner order a double by specifically commenting that a 'single never fills him up'. Assuming this would be my fate, I was pleasantly surprised to find satisfaction in the Ruben-Patty Melt. The delicious corned beef made up for the 2nd patty and I enjoyed both it and the side salad, for a more than acceptable dinner experience. That said, I was disappointed by the single patty in and of itself, considering the level of worship the place was built on. It WAS small and over-cooked even for 'medium', such that I'll be leaning med-rare going forward. I am also only awarding 3-stars based on value because if you are going to charge over $10 for a burger outside of Chicago...it better be huge and/or unbelievably tasty and/or come with killer sides...and this was not that.

    Slow service was the start to the day Menu items listed were also not available Told for example soup was off the menu until winter What they call a tall beer is silly It's nothing compared to other locations in area I was one of two patrons and I understand why

    Bloody Mary, spicy, w side a ranch.

    10/10, I looooove this place! Has not failed me. The menu has great selections that flow together so well. Our server this time was great, he had just started 3 days prior and did so awesome. I forgot his name but, shout out to you great job love! So first... don't call me crazy on this til you try it... ALWAYS here I start off with a Bloody Mary, and, hear me out, with a side of ranch! Their Bloodies consist of pickle, bacon, green olive, lime, celery, and cucumber. I take the toothpick full of these delicious add ons and dip it right in the ranch. It's like an appetizer in itself. So next I ordered the fried pickles, which came with a spicy-ish kind of ranch. Was delicious. I know you'd think "well the bloody mary has pickles in it already!" which, yes, they do. But i'm on a mission to try every appetizer from this place atleast once, so I went with the fried pickles. Last time was the onion rings w/ garlic dressing & ranch. Those were a freaking hit as well. Finally, off their special menu, I ordered the corned beef & cabbage. What an excellent decision this was. It was a PERFECT portion for 2 people because we split it. The corned beef was so tender n tasteful! Love this atmosphere here. The servers n patrons are all friendly and it's not too loud or crowded, but they do get busy and I totally see why. There's tvs everywhere too so you can watch your favorite sport while indulging in this delicious f*cking food! Lol. Definitely recommend, and if you try the bloody w/ ranch, let me know how you like it hehe (you're welcome for that idea because you won't regret it.) 10/10, can't wait for next time

    As far as hotel restaurants go, this one's ambiance is great: big bar, quiet dining room, and large patio with a fire pit. The beer selection is decent, plenty of local brews on tap. However, we found the food mediocre and the mixed drinks were very, VERY weak. We probably will give this place another shot, but it definitely didn't WOW us.

    Come see Mike at lunchtime, especially on Monday for a near perfect (it's a bit too large for one person to finish) Chicken Caesar Salad for $5.99. The craft beer of the day is $5 a pint or all beer is 1/2 price after 2:30pm. Huge big screen TVs, great smoke if you got em outdoor seating area with a view of nature.

    Farm Fresh burger & onion rings. The rings were so good...

    See all

    I specifically ordered their farm fresh burger, and, based on its name, it was really fresh.

    Urban Kitchen Restaurant - Steak Tacos with corn in a cup

    Urban Kitchen Restaurant

    (135 reviews)

    $$

    We were excited to try Urban Kitchen, and it absolutely delivered…read more Right away, the decor stood out, unique without being over the top, warm, and inviting. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely attentive without hovering. We started with drinks: blueberry mojitos and sangria. Both were fantastic. The flavors were perfectly balanced, refreshing, and it was clear they were made with real care and attention, not just poured and sent out. For appetizers, we ordered the chips with guacamole and salsa. We weren't expecting the chips to come out hot and clearly fresh from the fryer, but wow, perfectly crisp with just the right amount of salt. The guacamole tasted fresh and clean, and the salsa had a great balance of heat and flavor without overpowering anything. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were outstanding. The meat was incredibly well seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell when food is prepared by someone who truly cares about what they're making, those kinds of flavors can't be faked. The Cobb salad was equally impressive: fresh ingredients, a perfect portion size, moist chicken, and a dressing that tied everything together beautifully. One of the nicest surprises was learning that Urban Kitchen supports the community through Meals on Wheels. It's always great to enjoy a meal knowing the restaurant gives back. The only downside? We live six hours away. That said, we will absolutely be back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!

    First time here - very nice ambiance inside. X-Mas decoration up…read more Had the Cauliflower Bites for an appetizer, Market Salad and Birria Queso Tacos for main dish. All were Hot, well prepared, and Tasty!! Service was great. Will definitely be back.

    Merichka's Restaurant - Sweetest server ever. Perfectly cooked filet. garlic bread was to die for.

    I just came from my first visit Merichka's. Loved it. I…read morehad the single grilled pork chop. It was thick cut, perfectly seasoned and served a hot grill type platter. I got the twice baked potato with it. Large enough to be 2 potatoes. That came with applesauce plenty of butter, The salad was just the standard lettuce with croutons, but the blue cheese dressing made it special. If there was one small thing, I'd say they need to label their handicapped entrance better and maybe put another sign near the main entrance. I didn't know they had one until I was leaving. I'm old and find stairs difficult, but a few of them aren't impossible. I would have used the handicapped entrance if I had known it was there. But thank you for a great Sunday dinner! I'll be back. :)

    My husband found this old school restaurant that was established in 1933 with high Google ratings…read morethat was conveniently located on the way to the Rialto Theatre where we were headed for a concert. So we tried it. Merichka's serves good food with good service in a non-fancy kind of restaurant. It has various dining areas and a small bar. The room we sat in was nondescript with not one decoration on the walls. The multiple ceiling fans were running so I froze all throughout dinner. I didn't get our server's name, but she provided good service and was engaging. She always came back to check on us. The other staff we encountered was thorough in delivering food and removing dirty plates. We started with cocktails, a bourbon neat for him and an old-fashioned for me. My husband enjoyed his bourbon, however my old-fashioned was Wisconsin style which I didn't enjoy. We shared the mushrooms as a starter - I have to admit they were perfection! The portion was generous and the crust was perfectly crispy without being greasy. I think we missed the boat, though, because we didn't order the onion rings, which looked sensational. Dinners come with a relish tray and a couple sides. The relish tray had cottage cheese, a bean salad and a pasta salad. Again, generous in size. My hubby had a steak with fried shrimp for dinner and his sides were a salad and twice baked potato. He ordered the steak rare because he didn't trust that it would be cooked to medium rare. He was right to go rare because it came out a little pink. I opted for the baked cod for dinner with a salad and twice baked potato. My cod was 12oz and was moist and flaky. I didn't even put a dent in my dinner because I was full from the mushrooms and relish tray. We ended up bringing most of our entrees home. I'm glad we tried this restaurant out, but honestly even though the food was decent, I didn't enjoy the bare bones atmosphere and being uncomfortable throughout dinner because the fans were on. If you like a supper club without the frills, I think you would like this place.
