Been going here since I was in high school, the food has always been the best! Perfect burgers, hand cut fries and some of the best mac & cheese I've ever had. Plus one of the few black owned businesses in Cranford. We were served by Gabby today and she was so nice, service was excellent. read more

Came here on a Tuesday night with a group of 10 other women. We were able to call in and let them know of our group size. There was no ordering at the table so each of us had to go up to place and pay for our order. We were grateful that it was a BYOB spot. I got a burger that jalepeno and avocado and it was delicious. Had fries as well and it was pretty good as well. The ambiance was pretty laid back with great tribute to hip hop stars on the wall. the place is nice and cozy Great experience overall. read more

Urban Burger - Burgers Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

The ambiance was eclectic. It was fun too look around and there were some old games there to play. Unfortunately, the playing cards were very dirty and there was only but so much to look at until we realized it took close to 45 minutes for our food to come out. The place wasn't crowded and there were not a lot of pick ups happening. The wings tasted old and dry. The onion rings were hard and the batter had no flavor. The impossible burger was impossible to eat because it was burned. The mushrooms were burned as well. The chilli cheese fries were good. We left it all there. read more

Went here for dinner on a Saturday night after seeing a video online of the owner sharing the restaurant's recent struggles to stay open. We're all about supporting local businesses, so we decided to try out their food. The employee warned us before we ordered that our food would be at least 35 minutes, which we appreciated knowing. I had the ladder 31 burger which had a delicious spicy sauce and chopped jalapenos. Sadly, they were out of ingredients for the s'mores milkshake, but the Oreo was a good alternative. Their fries were crispy and perfectly salted. I hope they continue to receive more business! read more

I had heard great things about Urban Burger before, but after seeing the owner's TikTok regarding their financial concerns, I knew I had to come out and support, and I am so glad I did. It seems many others had the same idea; on a Saturday afternoon, the place was bustling and nearly every table was full. Despite the crowd, the staff was incredibly welcoming and suggested we scan the QR code for the full menu. We luckily snagged a table and didn't have to wait long for our food. I ordered the Biggie Smalls (their most popular burger), a classic burger with American cheese and fresh toppings. My mate had the namesake Urban Burger with Swiss and grilled onions. Both were fantastic! The patties are on the thinner side, so if you're extra hungry, I'd definitely recommend adding a second patty. However, the side of sriracha yucca fries with garlic aioli filled me up; they were perfectly crispy and a must-order for spice lovers. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try one of those delicious-looking shakes! read more

Met a group here as one of my friends wanted to support the establishment as they are struggling to stay open. I got there earlier than my group but was met with a very sweet employee who helped me tremendously. I ordered the impossible burger and sweet potato fries. I had jalapeños and grilled onions added. The burger was delicious, and quite messy which made it even more tasty. I hadn't had an impossible burger in a long while. The food is very good and owner very sweet. I had to leave early but my group said the owner stopped by their table and offered encouraging words of wisdom. This is the ultimate customer service. Note: Sorry no pictures as I ate that burger quickly. read more

Pros- I really liked the decor and vibe inside. The cashier was extremely pleasant. The bathroom was huge and clean. We ordered the mild wings. They were crispy, as we like them, and great! I'd definitely get them again. Cons- the bathroom was out of paper towels- this should be refilled at the end of each day to prep for the next day and checked throughout the day. Ranch is a common condiment to accompany wings but they didn't have any. Although the fried pickles had a nice pickle to batter ratio, the batter had way too much pepper in it- they had more heat than the wings! Overall- good wings and establishment. Glad we took the drive to try it but not worth revisiting. read more

Urban Burger - Store front - Burgers Near Me - Cranford, New Jersey

Time for an update as my last review was written over a decade ago! I ate here last week and met up with a friend. there's a nearby parking lot so you don't have to walk too far. You can scan the barcode and place the order with the front and they'll bring it out to you. I ordered the impossible burger with brie and fig jam. They do serve fries and other items on the menu if burgers aren't your thing. Service was really good and it was clean outside. This is a great casual burger place and has some thing for everyone. I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

I was craving a hearty burger and my friend recommended this spot. I ordered the Biggie Smalls burger. The burger was hearty but i did not like the mustard in the burger, i feel it ruined it a bit. I also got mozzarella sticks, those were bomb! better than the fries. Overall, i would come back to try more burgers without mustard though. The service was quick even though it was busy. It's a cute little spot. read more

I have been following Urban Burger on IG for quite awhile so me and my family decided to try after the owners IG post asking for people to come support his small business. Let me tell you im glad we did!!!!! Urban Burger is in the middle of Cranford NJ downtown just down the street from the train station. Its a small spot but has a good amount of table. The decor is dedicated to all things music. I noticed cool wall of old cassettes as an art installation. Also lots of pictures of artist hung around the restaurant. The menu is pretty full! I was surprised. They have lots of sides and wings. I came for the burger and it did not disappoint!!! I ordered the Biggie Smalls which came with pickes chopped onion and cheese. One of the best burgers ive had!!!! My kids had milkshakes and they loved them. The fries are fresh cut and delicious!! The evening we went the place was pretty busy with to go orders. We waited almost an hour dine in. The staff was very apologetic but we understood and wasnt in a rush. The food def made up for it because my family was very happy!!! I truly recommend giving this place a try. Please support a small black owned business!!!!! read more

I typically try to visit a place multiple times and try a few different things before I review, but I feel like I have to say something about this place. I've been looking for a new burger spot since Loaded Burgers in Garwood closed. I came because of the viral video, and I am all about supporting small businesses. So, I got a single patty with mushrooms and my partner got a Biggie burger (onions, pickles, etc). We both enjoyed what we got. I'm going to be honest here. The patties are very thin, similar to Burger King, but a lot less disappointing. The fries are really, really good. They taste like Five Guys fries with that potatoey-skin-left-on flavor, just a little thinner. Also, they were salted perfectly; I hate when fries have too much salt. I think the fry portions were good too. I see reviews on here complaining about the prices, but I think the prices are fine. Five Guys, Burger King, Smashburger, and McDonald's charge more, and their food quality and service has tanked significantly. I would rather give my money to Urban Burger. The eating area felt a little tight between tables, but all tables looked clean, especially for a place that serves fried foods. The servers were upkeeping and always checking if we needed anything. I asked for a little cup of water and got a large serving bottle for the table. Please note, I once went to a filthy Smashburger and they charged me for a cup of water, so this was a very nice and appreciated. I think it might be a little difficult for some to find a parking spot, but don't give up. It's worth it. One last thing, I want to suggest that the owner carry A-1 sauce or make an equivalent. That's not a complaint, I just wish I had it for my burger. read more

Came here on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The place was clean and the service was good. I ordered a cali burger, macaroni and cheese, fries, and the focaccia chicken sandwich. Everything was very good. I was skeptical at first about paying $15 for a chicken sandwich by itself, but You get a lot of food for the price. The mac n cheese didnt have much flavor though. All in all i would defiantly come back. Spent $40. read more

Cozy chic burger joint with many vegetarian and carnivore options . Service was impressive the girl at the register was inviting and possessed true customer service skills! Got their double stack cheeseburger and shared with my daughter it was huge, cooked to perfection with pickles onions lettuce and tomatoes . Oreo milkshake was thick and sweet with chunks of cookie. Was not fond of the fries though they tasted unwashed and burnt. Will return to try other options. Their decor is so cute. read more

I love a good burger and a restaurant opened on Mondays, and this fit both categories We were in the area for photo shoots and were looking to support a local place in town, and we found this cute little joint. They had an awesome selection of burgers and mine was delicious! We loved the cool vibe of the place and sat up front looking out at the adorable town. The service was super and the people working there were so friendly and helpful. It was a terrific experience overall and I'd highly recommend grabbing a meal here. read more

Been wanting to try this place for awhile and it was just ok for me. The restaurant was smaller than expected but luckily there were a few people inside. The food was priced at a decent rate imo and taste wise it was pretty average. My husband was disappointed that his shake was mostly whipped cream. Since we don't live in the area highly unlikely we would return. read more

Cashier was super nice but the food was honestly mid. The burgers came out a smidge burnt. The onion rings were huge but didn't seem to have much seasoning. The cheese fries were pretty good but I don't love seeing slices of cheese melted on top. The restaurant was very clean and the decorations were cool. If we go back I will try to order different items. read more

The food is cooked to order. It may take a few extra minutes but it's cooked fresh, not sitting around being kept warm. The owner, Rico, is open and welcoming and cooks all the food himself. And while you wait, play a game provided or bring your own. read more

I stopped here on my way to pick someone up, cause I had a random craving for Fried Pickles, & this was the closest place with them. Medium sized venue, quick service, metered street parking out front & around the corner (it's near the corner). Chill, casual vibe. The Fried Pickles were deliciou, some of the best I've had. Yes, I eat them enough to be a connoisseur, lol. I would definitely come back to try more items. They have a lot of great sounding things to offer from what I read on their menu. I did ask for (2) sauces, cause I am a sauce Whore, but they only gave me one. Maybe next time! read more

i took myself on a lunch date and decided to support a black-owned business in town. i think it's important now more than ever to support small businesses, especially those owned by families. i'm so glad i came here!! the girl who took my order and brought me my food was delightful. she was so kind and thoughtful, big smile on her face. the continental waffle burger was easily one of the best burgers i've ever eaten. very filling, couldn't quite finish it, but well worth it was $18. it came with double cheese patties, a fried egg, and taylor ham. the waffles were fluffy and sweet, they tasted homemade, you could tell a lot of effort went into their menu. i will definitely be back with friends or family. read more

We were expecting a juicy, delicious burger like the pictures on your website, but unfortunately what we got was a big disappointment...a thin piece of 'meat', which looked like a patty from the grocery store freezer, on a potato roll. If that's what you serve all the time, then shame on you...update your pics so people will know what to expect. We won't be ordering again. read more

This was my first time dining at Urban Burger and I absolutely loved the chicken sandwich. The focaccia bread gave a nice herbaceous touch to the sweet and savory chicken breast. My son and I shared the mozzarella sticks and corn poppers. They were a good snack. My son also had the mac and cheese. The service was quick. It wasn't that busy considering the time of day on a Friday during rush hour. I had the please of meeting the wife of the business. She was so pleasant and welcoming! We will definitely be back. read more

i wanna give 3.5 stars but i rounded up cuz im nice. in 2020 this place was great. cheap and simple and cute. then they jacked up the prices like crazy, switched to smash burgers and renamed everything to stuff like "yo mama burger." i can't lie, the burgers are still delicious and the fries are fantastic. i don't drink milkshakes but i heard they're amazing. everyone who works there is very nice. read more

It was my day off and I pretty much wanted a burger. Not a fast food burger but a "make it in the back type" burger. I ended up driving around and saw Urban Burger in downtown Cranford. At first it doesn't look showy from the outside but when you go in the ambiance is really really nice. Very hip. Lots of decorations on the walls. Make sure to look for the old school cassettes on the wall. Ordered their specialty the "Urban Burger" service was quick waited probably a hood 15mins before my food came. I'd say 8/10 for the burger. It has a little spicy kick to it but overall good. 15mins for my food to come but took the waiter a good 20mins to take my order. He looked like he did t want to be there and he was just on his phone. It's all good it's just my observation and I'm very patient. 100 percent anyone else this dude would have gotten his shit torn or a customer just walking out. read more

Recently, we had the pleasure of dining at Urban burger and It was an jaw dropping experience. From wicked burgers to fancy milkshakes, this place does not disappoint. Located right in the center of cranford downtown, urban burger has chic and modern feel to it. The walls inside will remind of you 90's, with plenty of sitting available. On the outside, there are a couple of spots available with a small park just across where you can often find musicians playing some cool tunes. Plenty of street parking available right outside and around! Lets get to the food we ordered and how it jammed- Wicked blue - chicken and vegetarian Lincoln continental Fruit pebbles milkshake Oreo milkshake Potato Parmesan Mac Dizzle The wicked blue is a burger tower that consists of onion rings stacked up on your choice of protein with a drizzle of blue cheese and sriracha! Pictures speaks louder than words! This is a EPIC burger, you dont want to miss! We tried both chicken and vegetarian options and the patties were crisp and juicy! From wicked to wonder food! The lincoln continental is a waffle bun burger that is A fascinating experience. Served with pork roll, fried egg and fries. This is NOT your average burger. It's an experience that you will leave you in awe! The shakes were both made from scratch with premium icecream and ingredients. Both shakes were not overly sweet and our lil ones loved the shakes! Lastly, if you like fries try their mac fries and potato parmesan. Loaded with cheese and mac and the fries don't disappoint. The potato parmesan is loaded with parmesan cheese and sriracha!

Awesome burgers especially the Corn Poppers, The Wicked Bleu Burger, and the Biggie Smalls Burger. Quick service. Highly recommend.

Found this gem via local facebook group recommendation. I am not a burger or pizza person but I get cravings once in a blue moon and that was today. The ambiance is very cozy and chill. We were the only customer when we came around 6pm (Wednesday) so it was quiet and service was pretty quick. They do not sell regular soda products so prepare to drink water or buy the local soda they serve. I haven't verified if it was indeed a BYOB but my husband ended up buying a regular soda from the next door and the server did not complain. The food is 8.6/10 overall score. The mozzarella sticks is a must. The Urban burger was delicious. The bun was so huge though so it will definitely fill you in. The build your own burger was great. The truffle pecorino fries were ok. I wish I tried some of their milkshakes but I knew I won't have enough space to finish them all. I would go back again to try their sandwiches! read more

I heard about this spot on IG and I'm always going to support anything Black-owned. I'm so glad I did! The ambiance is for the culture. Just enough to make us feel at home and not too much to scare anyone else away. It's Cranford ‍. The gentleman at the counter was friendly and welcoming. He was very patient with grandma who asked him a thousand questions about the menu. I had the Biggie Small with Tarter Tots. The burger was cooked to perfection and the tots came with this delicious sauce on the side. My grandma ordered the Lincoln Continental and Pineapple in Bikini Bottom shake. I wasn't too much of a fan of the sauce on the burger but other than that it was delicious. The shake was excellent. I'll definitely be back to try something else. read more
