We had date night for my birthday. I hadn't been here in a while and my significant other was a first timer. Our experience was simply wonderful and already has us talking about our next visit. Our server, Lauren (Jacksonville, Fl.) Was great. She made excellent suggestions and was extremely knowledgeable with regard to the menu. Our appetizer, Salmon Chips was a great suggest suggestion and the salmon was well seasoned on a homemade potato chip. The main courses, brisket and trout were well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The portions were plentiful and we left with lunch. Though I was far too stuffed to eat dessert, they gave me a chocolate cup cake for later. Additionally, they gave us complimentary champagne and I received a birthday card signed by the restaurant staff. This was the best birthday restaurant experience I've ever had and it won't be nearly as long before my next visit. read more

Still a spacious nice looking place where you can see their open chicken and the spitfire rotis chicken. Food this time around a bit more lackluster - pork about tough and dry and steak had less well cooked ends and overall seasoning. Also be sure to eat your food fast because we had some untouched yet to be eaten salmon crisps and the waitress just snatched it without a word. read more

We went to Brunch on Mother's Day and due to a lack of availability, we went to Two Urban Licks, which still had quite a few openings. We had never been to the restaurant. There were 3 of us - we ordered two Mushroom Quiche, Country Fried Steak Biscuit, and an order of Banana Bread French Toast for all to share. The Mushroom Quiche was average - it was small, the baked egg custard with the mushrooms tasted fine, however, the pastry was thick and soggy - I ate the custard, but left most of the pastry shell. The Country Fried Streak, looked so appetizing, unfortunately, it was very difficult to eat - the fried coating was not crispy, but had a 'hard crunch', and the steak was chewy and tough. My partner left most of it on the plate. Last, the Banana Bread French Toast we shared. It tasted good - we had the strawberry compote and the whipped cream on the side. While the banana bread tasted fine, it was also too moist - or soggy. Overall, a very disappointing Mother's Day Brunch. read more

I came here for Saturday brunch and it was a great time! The space is huge and has outdoor and indoor seating and a bar area as well. The food was solid, we ordered the shrimp appetizer which was delicious and cooked perfectly. The spicy Caesar salad was a good accompaniment to the other dishes. The collard greens were big and had a lot of meat in it which was good. The highlight was the fried jerk chicken sandwich - it was very creative and included plantains inside the sandwich which was a nice sweet touch to really elevate the flavors. Can't forget the huge mimosa! It was a great brunch overall and I would definitely come back again. read more

Two Urban Licks - Salmon Chips - Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

See all

Two Urban Licks absolutely lived up to the hype. From the moment we sat down, the energy, service, and food were on point. Everything we ordered was flavorful and thoughtfully plated, but quick heads-up for my fellow texture-sensitive diners: the braised beef leans very soft and shredded, so it may not be your favorite if texture matters to you. In that case, I'd strongly recommend the chicken or the trout--both were beautifully cooked and full of flavor. That said, this spot is top tier. The vibes are immaculate, the drinks are fun, and the menu has enough range that everyone at the table can find a win. I'm already planning my return for the salmon chips, which I clearly should've ordered the first time. Verdict: worth the visit, worth the repeat, and definitely a go-to when I'm in Atlanta again. read more

I love the ambiance of this restaurant. They had a band playing on Saturday, cozy intimate ambiance and great service. I ordered the empanadas, salmon chips and muscles and I liked them all. I will say that I wasn't impressed by the actual dinner menu , not many selections. Also, 1 of the salmon chips tasted burnt . read more

Two Urban Licks is a belt-line staple. If you haven't been, I'm here to convince you as to why you should! First thing, Two Urban is Farm-to-table. So they have a rotating menu! They do have a variety of year-round items, but the seasonal specials are NOT to be missed. If you notice something I mentioned, you might not see it when you visit, but everything is wonderful. They always offer meat, fish, and poultry options, which is great because it provides variety. Although their menu isn't large, they do have a good selection. One of my top recommendations is the salmon chips, which are a signature and popular item. The in-house potato chips are paired with a flavorful spread, possibly an aïoli or cream cheese, and complemented by smoked salmon, creating an excellent appetizer that I highly endorse. Additionally, the spicy Caesar salad stands out for its subtle heat that builds to the end of each bite, resulting in a well-balanced, enjoyable dish. When I order a drink, I always choose something different. I enjoy challenging the bartender to craft something good, sharing my preferred flavor profile without requesting the same drink repeatedly, and they have always delivered. I have no complaints. I've brought friends and family here, and I've gone on dates. While the spot is suitable for many occasions, I wouldn't say it's kid-friendly. I don't think I've ever seen a kid here, but I could be mistaken. I also appreciate that it's off the beltline, so after dinner, brunch, or lunch, you can simply walk out of the beltline into a lively, vibrant environment. They also have outdoor seating, which is not open during the wintertime, but in the summer and spring months, it is open and offers a nice view. I've just seen people in here and live music Two Urban Licks offers live music performances on-site. While I am unsure whether this is available during the day, my experiences in the evenings have consistently included live music. The performances typically feature genres such as blues, jazz, and occasionally R&B, with a "clap step" or upbeat style. This musical atmosphere creates an energetic ambiance that I greatly appreciate. Everyone there is friendly, welcoming, and makes you feel like you truly belong. I've never visited without feeling comfortable, cared for, or noticed. There's never been a time when I felt unwelcome, and I really appreciate that--it reminds me of "Cheers," where everyone knows your name, even if, technically, they don't. The menu features seasonal options, so some of the dishes I mention may not be available on your next visit. On two occasions, I have enjoyed trout prepared in distinct styles, both of which were excellent. Most recently, I tried the Blue Ridge trout served with Parmesan risotto, which I found outstanding--the risotto was perfectly executed. The trout had crisp skin and was served with fried okra; I chose not to have the okra, but the rest of the dish was well-balanced and thoughtfully composed. For dessert, we enjoyed a cake reminiscent of apple pie, served with what the server described as vanilla gelato. It was truly exceptional. I highly recommend this restaurant for those seeking fresh ingredients, innovative menus, and creative flavor pairings presented beautifully. You can park anywhere along the beltline, but if you're going here, you might want to valet and walk. The beltline is easily accessible from the establishment. read more

2 Urban Licks is an experience as much as it is a meal. The atmosphere is energetic and stylish, with an open kitchen and a buzzing, social vibe that immediately sets the tone for a fun night out. our server was so sweet and attentive with fantastic recommendations for my super picky husband. The food is bold, creative, and beautifully executed--smoky, savory flavors with just the right amount of flair. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, and the presentation matches the quality. You can tell the kitchen knows exactly what it's doing. Add in great cocktails, attentive service, and a lively crowd, and it's easy to see why this place is such an Atlanta staple. Whether you're celebrating something special or just want a memorable dinner with great energy, 2 Urban Licks delivers on all fronts. Definitely a spot worth revisiting. read more

Cool, trendy place with good food, solid service and a fun vibe. Our party started with some cocktails - the list is solid if short - and the salmon chips which are great. I had the blackened red fish gumbo and it was excellent - loved it. My wife had the Mushroom Parmesan and thought it was good, but liked the red fish better. Cool spot on the beltline. You can valet or self park - typically spaces available for that. read more

I had a wonderful experience here this evening. I loved the vibrant atmosphere of Two Urbn Licks. The decor was very tasteful too. Although the noise level was high, I was happy to hear live music playing in the background. Our server was very knowledgeable of the menu and offered to answer any questions we may have had explaining the menu. I was with a party of four, and our service was wonderful. I ordered the rotisserie chicken and the collards. I enjoyed the flavor of the rotisserie chicken it was very juicy and tender. I loved that you can see the chicken as it's cooking on the rotisserie. I enjoyed the Saturday night vibes. This place has nice size patio seating too. read more

Top tier. Food was great and service was attentive and on point. I come from the Seattle area and do a fair bit of nicer dining... prices were very reasonable in my opinion. Great ambience. Everything was good but the collared greens were extra special, as was the braised bison ribs - the special of the evening. It's a pleasantly loud environment. Live music and the hustle and bustle of an open floor plan & kitchen. You won't be whispering in hushed tones over candlelight here. It's just the vibe... and it works. I really could not have been more pleased with my meal and the service. Everyone in our party of 8 felt the same. As Arnold says .... "I'LL BE BAAAACK" read more

It's been a long time since I've eaten here and it did not disappoint at all! It was should a great fellowship with my family for my sister's graduation. We ate good, laughed, and had great conversation over some GREAT food! Whoever is the current lead chief in the kitchen is going a great job. Everything was well seasoned and presented very nice. My 2 all time favorites will always be the salmon chips and the calamari for my appetizers. For my entire I ordered the blackened salmon and it was also very delicious. I will say I was very underwhelmed by the Mac and cheese side. It wasn't anything exciting taste wise. But all and all everything was great. The ambiance was really nice as well. It was too hot to sit outside however we were able to sit by the window so that we had a great view of the outside while enjoying the are conditioning inside. lol read more

Walked over from a Beltline lot and loved that I didn't have to deal with a crowded parking deck--though valet is an option if you're fancy. The space is gorgeous. It had open flames, cool lighting, and this lush private room full of plants that would be perfect for a special event or group dinner. Favorites were definitely the salmon chips, empanadas and salt and pepper calamari. To be honest, the apps were so good I had to remind myself to slow down and save room for the rest. Cocktails were strong in the best and classiest way. Shoutout to the bartender for my old fashioned. And they have larger pours of wine available on the menu. In short, my visit was everything. read more

***Bar/Lounge Review Only*** Enjoyed catching up with old friends in Two Urban Licks' bar/lounge area. The space is large and popping! The service was friendly. I don't drink so got their gelato (mango, blood orange, and strawberry), which was tasty. The parking situation is a bit nutty, but we were able to avoid doing valet by parking closer to the brewery in the same area. Would be interested in going back to try their dinner menu. read more

We were refused to be seated as a walk in at 8pm, when half the restaurant was empty tables. Terrible business strategy

I went here for my birthday and it was actually one of the best restaurants that I've hosted. My birthday at these stuff was amazing. The service was top-notch and the food was very interesting but I like trying new things and I ended up loving it. My whole party also loved it. The ambience in there was chef's kiss. I took so many pictures even the table across from us sing me a happy birthday. The restaurant was very accommodating and even letting us stay a little bit after hours just to clean up and take pictures. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Brunch at Two Urban Licks, on sunny but not too hot Sunday, was a wonderful way to enjoy the day with family and friends. Situated on the Beltline with a generous outdoor patio area, the brunch menu had too many good options to just choose one. We started with both chicken and brisket empanadas, smoked salmon chips, spicy Caesar salad and the cast iron cinnamon sweet rolls. Personally, I thought the Caesar was the best, but everyone had their favorites. The main courses were all sizable and delicious. We tried everything from the Smoked Brisket Hash (pictured) to the prime rib sandwich, the jerk fried chicken sandwich, the cowboy burger and chilaquiles. Everyone seemed to love the food, and while dessert looked great, entrees had eliminated my need for anything else. Our server was knowledgeable and available. Overall, I would say that I definitely plan to return. read more

We were told to go to Two Urban Licks by a friend we visited in ATL, and it was a nice night out for dinner after a day of shopping at Ponce City Market. Restaurant was packed, we had a reservation and were able to be sat as soon as we got there. Our server was nice but very rushed, I understand this with the size of the place and the need to get things done quick. We ordered the Octopus for an app, she got the Chicken and I got the Trout, and it took a bit for the food to come out. She also didn't have the first drink I ordered as they ran out, and then forgot my other drink, so I didn't drink, no problem. As a courtesy, she comped dessert for forgetting which was nice, and we had a decent meal. 4/5 stars, food was alright, on my list of places we went to, it ranked about 8th out of 10 read more

I came in for a Saturday night reservation while visiting with friends in Atlanta. It was my first time on the beltline, and Two Urban Licks came highly recommended. A couple of us ordered the Up in Smoke cocktail, and we ended up having more than one. It reminded me of a smoked manhattan, smooth, flavorful, and strong. I ordered the chicken with cacio e pepe fingerlings, which was a good-sized portion. The chicken was juicy, and the fingerlings were flavorful and cooked just right. The octopus was also a hit at the table. The venue itself has a spacious, industrial, and relaxing vibe. We sat near the middle of the restaurant, which was perfect for enjoying the live music from the front while still being able to converse easily as we were celebrating a reunion of friends. Pros: Flavorful food and drinks, live music, cozy and spacious venue. Cons: N/A read more

I went here for a book club brunch with a group of about 8 people. I appreciated that they had a valet or self park option, valet being my choice due to the convenience. After walking in, the front room is captivating with the sunlight coming through, and the host stand had two ladies welcoming everyone. We let them know the reservation and were immediately guided to our table toward the middle of the restaurant. The main dining area of the restaurant was extremely dark. We ordered appetizers and drinks to begin with. I ordered the Good Thyme Lemon Drop and for apps we got the Salmon Chips, Brisket and Chicken Empanadas, and the Salt & Pepper Calamari. All the appetizers tasted amazing, but the portion size of there empanadas was disappointing, with one serving being singular empanada cut in half. From the Brunch Special section of the menu, my friend and I split the Smoked Brisket Hash. The plate was presented in a disarray, we asked for scrambled eggs and still ended getting a poached egg hidden underneath other components on the plate, and altogether the dish was flavorless. Although we had two main servers, there were about 4 other workers that approached our table, which was very overwhelming and confusing. One redeeming quality was that they have a QR code to scan on the table that has an itemized list of the orders, allowing the bill to be easily split. The restaurant is conveniently located on the beltline so I would definitely suggest to take advantage of their outdoor seating. If I end up going back I would either stick with their appetizers or see what their main menu or dinner menu has to offer. read more

At the recommendation of a friend who used to live in Atlanta, I came here for brunch when I was in town. Thankfully, my friend has great taste. Over the weekend, I was on an octopus kick so I started out with some calamari at brunch. Admittedly an unusual choice, but it was the right one. For my entree, I had the brisket hash. The brisket was cooked optimally and the potatoes were seasoned perfectly. Unfortunately I was too full to finish it all, but the brisket kept well and made for a great early morning snack before I had to catch a flight. Two Urban Licks has a great space and I'm very glad I followed the recommendation to come dine here. read more

Okay, so I'm on a kick to try #New(ToMe)RestaurantsOnly ! I've been having fantastic experiences going in largely blind to new places-- that I at least generally know/ have heard good things about! Two Urban Licks was one of those places. With a reputation that precedes it and an extremely-difficult-to-get-into Reservation spot, I've been wanting to try it for years. My overarching takeaway was.... It's expensive and good. The atmosphere is the best part in my opinion. It's vibrant, indoor-outdoory, spacious and intimate at the same time-- all the characteristics you'd want from a nice restaurant off of the Belt line. I think the best occasion here would be a larger-group dinner or festivity. They seemed well-equipped to handle that, and the menu is wide-ranging and pretty straightforward! In terms of the food, we tried the "most popular starter" the Salmon Chips. They were unique but I wanted something different. Its four chips with "dip-like" material piled on top. I wish there were more chips and less dip per chip-- such that it didn't snap in half by picking it up. It also feels like then, it'd be more shareable. For entrees we got Brisket and Trout. We both agreed that we'd try something different next time. My trout felt like it had competing flavors that I couldn't quite place but didn't feel normal to eat with Trout. For the price, I'd definitely try to get something I enjoy more next time. read more

Two Urban Licks - Salmon potato chips - Bars Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I went to this place a few years ago and it was one of the best meals I've had in ATL. Last night though was not the same. The special was coconut shrimp which didn't taste fresh (possibly frozen). We also got the smoked salmon chips which were mediocre at best, pretty bland. Our entries tasted ok but nothing was delicious. It was all very mediocre. Nothing was bad enough to send back but nothing made us go "mmmmm that's good!". For the money they charge, everything should be amazing. This was the most expensive meal we had on our trip to ATL and was by far the worst. The food was very disappointing. Service and ambience were top notch though. read more

Decided to have brunch at Two Urban Link and I think it's safe to say I'll be back. I loved everything about my experience, from the hostess' s up front to the scenery of the belt line in the back. We came on Saturday afternoon and surprisingly it wasn't too packed. We Ubered because I know how traffic is around the Beltline, but we were greeted with smiling faces who sat us quickly. We opted for the empanada over the salmon chips (I'll be back to try those for sure!) & it was delicious! For our main courses I got the biscuits and sausage gravy and my friend got the brisket hash, both were so good! The atmosphere gives elegant log cabin, dimly lit, an intimate space. Overall I will return to try more of the menu, highly recommend. read more

This establishment brings an impressive array of dishes to the table, starting with a memorable selection of appetizers. The fried calamari offers an unexpected sweet note that works surprisingly well, while the Korean fried cauliflower presents a clever vegetarian twist on fried chicken. The fried okra follows suit, providing yet another creative take on the classic comfort food. However, the true star of the show is their spicy Caesar salad - a dish that I'll return for. House-made dressing with a subtle heat, perfectly crisp romaine lettuce, and thoughtfully prepared crouton crumbles that add just the right texture. The main courses don't disappoint in terms of portion size. The chicken entree features a generous half-bird that's meaty and full of flavor, the mac and cheese portion felt somewhat small in comparison. The bolognese stands out as particularly generous, offering an impressive portion size especially for a restaurant that doesn't specialize in pasta. While it was mostly good there were a couple things I didn't like. The noise levels made communication difficult. This occasionally led to some awkward interactions with the staff. Even though it wasn't strong at the restaurant the smoke from the kitchen attracted to my clothes fairly easily and as a traveler this wasn't fun to deal with. read more

For our anniversary I decided to take the Mrs back to one of our early dating locations while in Atlanta. The setting was the same hipster chic that we both remembered as we have been to the restaurant for over 10 years plus. We started off with a couple of martini's and while they were good we were surprised that no blue cheese olives available for a $15 drink. We started with the salmon chips and they were the star of the show no doubt. The Mrs ordered the scallops, they lacked enough sear but were presented nicely on black lentils. I had the "butcher" steak, asked the waiter what cut it was and he replied something from the neck area. I think it was teres major as it was leaner than a hangar steak. It was cooked nicely and was flavorful. We had an Oregon Pinot which was served too warm in my opinion. Decent experience but could have been a five star review if $125 bottle of wine was correct temperature and scallops had proper sear. read more

I took my partner out on a dinner date this past Friday to one of our favorite spots, Two Urban Licks. We had a late, 10:15pm reservation, but in my experience, they are always super accommodating and never make me feel rushed to leave. Heads up, we were the last people left and although I rushed myself to get out of there because I know how the server life is, the staff were nothing but accommodating. Now, let's go over what we ordered and our ratings! Salmon Chips 10/10: a must get everytime I go! Healthy amount of salmon on each chip and the capers always add the perfect salty touch Brisket Empanada: 8/10, definitely a tasty bite and empanada is chunky! Chipotle crema was delicious. Farmer Britt's Okra: 9/10, slightly salty but come on, a chicken fried split okra? Where could you really go wrong. Wood Fired Rotisserie Chicken w/ Mac & Cheese: 8/10, huge cut of chicken which is a plus but the natural jus/seasoning was lacking slightly. Not really strong flavors in any direction.I don't eat many Mac & cheese recipes, but Two Urban makes a nice, white cheese based Mac that is very rich. A few bites is more than enough, but it did assist the chicken where it was a little dull. Wood Grilled 8oz Butcher's Cut w/ Cacio E Pepe Fingerlings + Asparagus & Red Wine Jus: 9/10: surprisingly, the stars of the show were the asparagus first and steak second. Potatoes were missing something (maybe salt) and a slight crisp but when I took them home and doctored them up, were tasty! Sorbet Trio (Mango, Strawberry, Passion Fruit): 7/10 the sorbet was just okay honestly. Mango was the best tasting and I genuinely believe they replaced the passion fruit sorbet with a different flavor because there was no tartness to any which is something I enjoy about the fruit . Drinks: Desert Rose: 9/10: pretty sweet but the best tasting for my date & I The Distinguished Gentleman: 8/10 STRONG! What else can I say. Gin Dreams: 10/10, refreshing and loves the rosemary aromatics across the nose and tongue! All in all, I will be back of course to try new menu items or check out their brunch! Thank you Two Urban Licks for a great date night. read more

I recently visited Two Urban Licks for the first time, after hearing good things and seeing generally fair reviews. My guests had dined there before, and I was excited to finally try the menu myself. Unfortunately, the experience didn't quite live up to the anticipation. Everything we ordered--from appetizers to entrees--arrived lukewarm, which was especially disappointing for dishes like calamari that should be served hot and crisp. While the calamari still had good flavor, the temperature really detracted from the dish. I ordered trout with risotto; it was decent, but not memorable. They were out of okra, so I was served deep-fried asparagus instead, which was fine, but again, just okay. The space itself is impressive--spacious, with ample seating and a nice open wood-grill area that adds visual interest to the dining experience. Outdoor seating is also available, which is a plus. I tried a mocktail, but it was underwhelming and not something I wanted to finish. On a positive note, our server was attentive and friendly throughout the evening. One major downside: the bathrooms were quite dirty. So much so, in fact, that I chose not to use them. Adding a hook or rack for purses and jackets would be a small but helpful improvement, especially considering the unclean conditions. Overall, while there were some nice aspects, the combination of lukewarm food, a poor mocktail, and unclean bathrooms makes this a place I wouldn't be in a rush to revisit. read more
