On a beautiful afternoon, we decided to grab a table on the patio, and it was the perfect choice. The outdoor seating created a relaxed, inviting atmosphere that made it easy to settle in and enjoy brunch. The restaurant itself has a modern, stylish aesthetic that feels elevated without being pretentious. From the moment we sat down, the service was exceptional. Our server was attentive, welcoming, and struck that perfect balance of checking in without ever making us feel rushed. Now, let's talk about the food. The Tres Leches French Toast completely exceeded my expectations. I've had plenty of French toast over the years, but this one stood out. It was incredibly soft and fluffy with beautifully crisp edges, creating that perfect contrast in texture. The tres leches flavor was rich enough that it genuinely didn't need syrup--a rare compliment for French toast. Every bite was indulgent without feeling overly sweet. Paired with the perfectly cooked apple-smoked bacon and a bowl of fresh fruit, it was one of the better brunch plates I've had in quite some time. I also ordered the strawberry mimosa, which was bright, refreshing, and not overly sweet. It was the perfect companion to brunch. We couldn't leave without trying the Chicken Burrata Sandwich, and I'm so glad we did. The burrata was fresh and creamy, the chicken was juicy, and the spicy sauce added just enough heat to keep every bite interesting without overpowering the sandwich. Then there was the bun--soft, fresh, and sturdy enough to hold everything together. It tied the entire sandwich together beautifully. The fries deserve their own mention. Golden brown, perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and fluffy on the inside--exactly how fries should be. Between the beautiful setting, genuinely attentive service, and food that delivered across the board, 179 Bar & Grill earned every one of these five stars. It's the kind of place that's just as good for a casual brunch as it would be for bringing friends or celebrating a special occasion. I'll absolutely be back--and next time, I'm already planning to explore more of the menu.

I'm glad Smokehouse Tailgate Grill exists! It's great to have a *real barbecue restaurant…read moreavailable! (By "real" I mean wood smoked as opposed to grilled and slathered in sauce like most "bbq" places). Westchester has a hard time keeping barbecue restaurants in business (Revenge, Whole Hog Cafe, Dickie's, etc) so I'm hoping to keep this one in business :) I'm in Riverdale and the closest thing we have to real barbecue is a local gastropub (BAH is great in a pinch), therefore I'm very happy that STG partnered with Toast to do deliveries. We've ordered a few times and aside from one bumpy experience we've been very happy with STG. The Brisket stands up to delivery and doesn't dry out, the pulled pork / ribs / pork belly are all winners, and the Chicken and the Chicken wings hold their own against the traditional stars of barbecue. Lastly their Cornbread isn't a dried out puck rather it's moist and fluffy. We're ordering about once a week at this point because it's so good.

The food and drinks were mediocre and service was lukewarm. We ordered the mixed grill for two. The brisket and ribs were ok. The Mac and cheese tasted like velveeta. The corn was decent. We didn't even touch the chicken. I had the smoke show cocktail. It was entirely too sweet and not enough tequila. I heard the manager ask another couple if it was their first time at restaurant. They said yes and manager offered them a round of cocktails. I told our server earlier that it was our first time at restaurant. Guess what....we weren't offered a round of cocktails.

I'm surprised that this restaurant did not take into consideration for those customers who may not be able to eat foods that contain lactose.

To start, we shared the crispy brussel sprouts Charleston style. These were delicious with the tangy sauce and large flakes of parmesan cheese. For my main, I had the brunch wrap. It comes with chips, but I swapped for fries for an additional charge. The wrap was a good size; I had half and saved the rest for leftovers. It was tasty, but not a ton of flavor. The tater tots were nice and crispy and I enjoyed the fresh tomatoes and avocado. They gave me a huge portion of crinkle cut fries, which also would've been great with a little more seasoning, but they were good when dipped in mayo. My husband got the shrimp and grits and appreciated the large portion size as well. I had a lemonade to drink. It was refreshing since it wasn't overly sweet. Service was great. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu!

Just as their tagline goes, this is undoubtedly a great place to get burgers, beer and grub. It's a…read moresomewhat small place with a great array of options, especially for lunch and brunch. Aesthetically, each table feels like a meal at a family dinner table; it's clear that they wanted that vibe to be translated, and it's done quite well. This is also supported by the service being very friendly and helpful in general. To eat, I had the French toast burger with sweet potato fries. Some others with me had various sides like regular fries and tater tots, and the same thing was present on them that tends not to be at most places: they were all perfectly salted/seasoned. It might seem immaterial, but it's a very good signal when something that simple--yet often neglected in favor of just using condiments to mask it--is executed well. If you're a burger place with fries that taste great without the need for a sauce or condiment, you're doing something right. The French toast burger was likewise fantastic, combining sweet and savory in a great way. To drink, we all got a communal pitcher of the only frozie they had available at the time: a kind of jungle juice vodka slushie. It, too, was great--worthy of multiple rounds. All in all, here's a place that I can't wait to give another visit.

The process for making reservations has not changed, simply send an email with your requested date/time and they'll confirm or offer alternatives. They seem to be limited in reservations or they book fast, so don't wait. I can definitely see why as well, for just $36 you can get a 3-course meal. Thats such an amazing deal! On the night we visited, they had a unique menu that included some Asian and Indian dishes. In true fashion, we were seated promptly and offered a basket of fresh bread. But it's not just one type of bread in there, its a variety of delicious, freshly baked bread. I especially love to dip the rosemary bread in the olive oil they provide. I started my meal off with their leek risotto. It was pretty good but I would have loved a more bolder flavor. My hubby had the pork dumplings which were delicious! The outer dumpling shell was moist and soft, while the inside was cooked well with hints of ginger. Next up, for my main entree I had the crispy salmon which came with 2 potato pierogies, all on top of a butter-garlic sauce. The salmon was visually beautiful. The skin was indeed crispy and the overall texture was perfect with a tasty sauce. However, the flavor could've used just a little salt. I also wished they went with a different, more hearty side. The pierogies left me feeling like I needed a bit more to fill me. On the other hand, my partner had the Shrimp Biriyani. Not only was it beautifully made, but it tasted delicious! The basmati rice was on-point and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Even the aorma of the dish was delicious. To round out my meal, I chose the pineapple crostada which included vanilla ice cream. It was exactly what I needed to end my meal and very delicious. Overall it was a good meal. In terms of service, the staff and students were pleasant and welcoming however, things were slower than I've known it to be in the past. We had a long wait after our entrees, just for dessert. I don't know why but we waited a while throughout the service. For reference, our reservation was at 6:30pm but we did not leave until 9. We did not get any explanation or updates along the way. If there is anything I would suggest, it is there reservation process. Although I understand this is a school/community initiative, their process seems outdated. Moreover, sometime the person answering the emails can be very short with responses. A bit more proactiveness would be helpful. For example, when I reached out to make my recent reservation, I inquired about 2 dates and times. Someone responded and said they were "booked". That was literally it. I had to email back and ask for further availability, then additional emails to provide my contact info and confirm. A more appropriate response would've been to inform the customer of the unavailability then ask if they had another day in mind or let them know a few dates available. It feels more welcoming and cuts down the back and forth. Ultimately, it would be nice to see them have an online reservation system. A simple Microsoft or google form is probably the simplest way and convenient for all. Overall, it was a good experience, as usual. I'm so glad to see the service is still in service and offering such a great meal at an affordable price. I will definitely be returning and I will continue to recommend it to others!

The Mac is cheesy and cooked exactly how I want it to taste. It sticks together and is never burnt on top. But I have tried the potato salad (a hit for sure), collard greens (seasoned to perfection), and the sweet potato fries (which I don't like, because I don't really care for a sweet potato fry. But they are steak cut and glazed with a sweet yet light glaze). As for the meats: I've had the fried catfish, catfish bites, beef ribs, fried chicken breast, baked chicken breast, fried chicken wings (BBQ & Jerk), and the salmon, crabcakes, and the ultimate feast. Oh and I've had their chicken strips. By far my favorite and frequently ordered are the catfish bites and chicken strips. Just know that this restaurant used to be a sit down intimate spot with a catering hall a few doors down. But since CoVid, it has become solely takeout and delivery by the apps. So, you won't get a full dining experience and will have to pay for a certain kind of packaging. For instance, if you don't want your food to touch or leak into other food the. Order separate packages and they will do it. This place has iced tea and lemonade that are divine. The customer service not be the absolute best if you walk in. Because they are always busy and inundated with orders which is a good sign. Oh, I almost forgot to mention the cornbread! My Lawd. It's thick and delicious.

Compared with some of the more relaxed restaurants in the area- the kind that has soothing music…read moreand a calm vibe- Urban H. definitely brings the urban to the suburbs. Pop music, pops of black on the walls, TV screens behind and above the bar- so that almost every seat has a good view, a noticeable bar and those wood-slab walls. You know the look. The last time hubs and I were in this space was about 10 yrs ago, when it was Sammy's, so walking into Urban H. and getting hit with their urban-industrial-sports bar feel caught me a little off guard. No offense. Since hubs and I are getting settled into our other home in Westchester, dining out has been our friend. The young ladies here did well. From the moment we walked in until we headed out, everyone was pleasant, welcoming and attentive. We started with the calamari which was tender. Like really tender. Not a rubber band in sight. But where were the tentacles?! Those crispy little tangled things are half the reason hubs and I order calamari and sadly, there wasn't even one. Hubs went with a canned hard lemonade. It was refreshing but it was missing at least a little oomph especially if it's called "hard lemonade". My salmon dinner was beautifully prepared on parsnip puree with sautéed broccoli rabe and a pomegranate sauce. I totally get my dish was going for that savory/sweet mix- but that pomegranate sauce kind of sent my dinner slightly off keel for me. Hubs, loved his pork chop though with sautéed spinach and...white rice.¯\(ツ)/¯. We ordered the "mango" sorbet but it tasted more like lemon and it you had blindfolded me and asked me to tell you the flavor, mango would not have made my first guess. Honestly- Urban H. has more swagger than quiet, screens and a pop playlist that wants you to know it's there. But the service was super pleasant.
