I got the chicken quesadilla and loved that it had white bbq sauce on it! It was hot, fresh, and delicious! I sat in the outside area to enjoy the beautiful weather and even though several other people were out there, it didn't feel like our tables were crowding each other. There was also plenty of room to put my baby's stroller without feeling like it was in the way. I did feel like the meal wasn't a ton of food for the price and I wish it had come with a side. I hadn't been in several years but definitely will plan to come back! Service was super quick and friendly! read more

Stopped in for a quick dinner takeout at Urban Cookhouse in The Summit and was seriously impressed. I had the Chipotle Pork with sides of mac and cheese and broccoli salad, and everything was spot on. The pork was tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of kick from the vinegar-based BBQ sauce--not too heavy, just enough to bring out the smoky goodness. It was served with fresh, thick-sliced bread that was perfect for soaking up the sauce. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting, and the broccoli salad added a fresh, slightly sweet crunch to balance out the plate. You can tell they care about using quality, fresh ingredients, and it shows in every bite. Service was friendly, the food came out fast, and the atmosphere is casual but clean and upbeat. Definitely a solid choice for a fresh, local meal. I'll be back! read more

A friend of mine came into town to escape Hurricane Helene so we met up for lunch. I saw the Yelp good reviews and figured this place would be ideal. We ordered and were able to eat outside. Was a great lunch. Food was fresh and weather was perfect that day. It was not very busy, so we could sit and enjoy each other company catching up. We even grabbed a refill for our drives home. Highly recommend. read more

urban cookhouse is a classic restaurant! I popped in with some friends just to have some dessert and was blown away by the polite staff. They were very efficient and nice. I will definitely be back soon to order some of the tasty items that I saw on other people's tables, lol, I look forward to checking out some more items on them menu read more

We hadn't been to UC in over a year so thought we would check it out again We Went for a late lunch during the week Food was barely satisfactory , meat overcooked and dry, other items were void of taste, orange roll was also dry and bleh Personnel that we encountered seemed more interested in their own discussions than in engaging with us~ Overall disappointing experience No need for us to return read more

My former work place catered in Urban Cookhouse all the time. It was always great food, but sometimes I could get burnt out on their food - we catered it in ALL THE TIME. After all these years, I finally decided to come give their brick and mortar store a try. The store itself is very clean, and the employees were friendly. I got the pork along with two sides of cheddar pasta. I forgot just how cheesy the pasta was! I needed to use some of the BBQ sauce to cut through the cheesiness. But then I didn't have enough BBQ to keep the pork from being too dry. It was a hard choice to make. I would probably try something different next time. My wife and child liked their food. read more

We were driving through looked at the reviews and stopped here. This place was pretty great.

After giving blood and passing out two times immediately after giving blood, I definitely needed a healthy, iron-rich meal. My husband suggested Urban Cookhouse. It was my first time coming to this location and I can now say that his recommendation was spot on. As you walk into this restaurant, there are chairs. I immediately used one to sit down because I still felt a bit woozy. There was a menu so I looked over it and told my husband I wanted the Urban Cowboy. He stood in line to order our food. He decided to get me some broccoli soup to go with my Urban Cowboy sandwich. Let me tell you something, everything was delicious--even their water! The Urban Cowboy sandwich had very flavorful and moist pieces of steak on it. It had carmelized onions and peppers on it as well. The broccoli soup was creamy and good, too. The waitress who brought out our food and cleared our table was really nice. She had a cool tattoo on her arm--stuff like that stands out to me. I'll be back! read more

Update: their shrimp kabob was so delicious and priced at $13 it was a bargain. At least 10 large shrimp with grill flavor, rice, salad and orange roll made a satisfying meal. Hubby enjoyed his lime steak too. Service was good and fast but realize it is not a fancy place: you order and food is brought to your table. Farm sourced and healthy choices! read more

I have been a fan of Urban Cookhouse for years and here it is...my Top Ten...a la Letterman style... 10. Friendly greeters, food runners, and cashiers. Few counter service places beat them in these areas. 9. Strawberry Lemonade. It is very good. Get a sample to taste for yourself. 8. Local farmers are always highlighted on the menus. 7. Orange rolls are great with food or for just snacking on when walking around the Summit. 6. Great selection of quick items in the cooler if you are in a super super hurry. 5. Quick service with quality. The food doesnt take much longer than most fast food places but the quality is so much better. 4. Large outside patio area for dining. 3. Several options for seating inside that are somewhat different. Good for groups, a few buddies, or a date night. 2. Broccoli salad. 1. Big Green Egg. All of the meats are smoked on a Big Green Egg! I WILL BE BACK!!! read more

We had a late lunch on Saturday. UC was packed. The dining area was clean and the music was sort of loud. The staff was indifferent at best, the two sandwiches were delivered about five minutes apart. The "hot cheddar pasta" was lukewarm and mushy. The Urban cowboy had tough steak with no knife to cut it. The El Cubano was tasty as was the broccoli salad. The orange rolls were dry. All considered we won't be going back. read more

Got lunch for the office and was pretty disappointed. Chicken was really dry and the meal overall looked a little sad to me. The broccoli salad was fantastic and I wish I had just gotten that. This is my first negative experience I've had at UC so I'll be back but will not order the same thing again. read more

Good lunch! Sandwiches and salads were good. There is plenty of seating inside and out. It's in a busy shopping area.

Great fresh food. Friendly staff and a nice environment. I definitely recommend their Mac n cheese and orange rolls. I liked that all the vegetables were really fresh. They have nice portions too. read more

Arrived here for a quick heathy bite to eat. I have been in town for a while and have been meaning to stop by because it sounded like a nice little place with a good amount of options. Well, it is very modern, clean, and an efficiently operating fast casual experience with attentive staff who make sure you're taken care of if you need anything. I ordered the Local Mix Wrap, which had thick pieces of chicken, but not a hearty amount. The bacon was better than some fast food places, but not by very much. The wrap fell apart at the ends with the honey mustard style sauce that permeated throughout. Not a bad wrap, just decent. The broccoli salad is a nice option, with some nuts and grapes interspersed with broccoli and a light, sweet sauce. Probably the highlight. I also ordered the corn chowder, which was mainly green peppers, but the soupy base was tasty at least. If I came again, I would probably splurge for the less "healthy" option and get the much better looking sandwiches and Mac n cheese. read more

Great salad and sandwich options. I would recommend the pepper patch salad with their jalapeño vinaigrette, you can add some lime marinated steak if you need something more filling. This particular location is busier because it's at the summit, but the service is still fast and friendly. They have booth and table seating, with high chairs to accommodate the littles. read more

Can't believe I haven't been here till now. First off, let me say that this is not a bbq joint like I always thought it was! Lol This is more like a Panera with a bigger menu. There was a lot to choose from! It was hard to pick, everything looked great. Honestly, the mac n cheese looked amazing and my friend said that is what her son always gets because he loves it. I was seriously tempted by the grilled fluff a nutter sandwich. I mean that just sounds fantastic. My kindergarten self was doing cartwheels! Since I had had a decadent breakfast, I opted for the chicken salad fruit plate. The chicken salad was seriously good. The fruit was fresh and there was a good amount of everything. I would definitely order it again. Everything was fresh and done really well. Everyone really liked what they ordered. Staff came around frequently to see if we needed anything or to take trash away. I'll be back! read more

It's been awhile since I've been to Urban Cookhouse (used to go to the one downtown all the time); however, the food is still amazing. I love their lime-steak and rice! Also you can't leave without having their orange roll! Rolls are SUPER addicting. While I didn't get it this time, but save room for their skillet cookie (must have). It's made to order so make sure give them some time to make. But I promise you it's worth the wait. read more

Three words: BIG GREEN EGG. Two of them as a matter of fact. If you are familiar with the Big Green Egg smoker, then you know how good food is that is cooked/smoked on it. I own a Big Green Egg and cook on it at home all of the time. I was visiting Birmingham and came here upon the recommendation of a friend. I didn't even know they used the BGE smokers. I was told this place was more of a farm-to-table restaurant. We came in for an early lunch (11:15) and I'm glad we did. It got pretty crowded during the lunch time rush. The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the El Cubano along with a side of the Local Mix salad. The salad was delicious as was the pork sandwich. The owner was also onsite checking in with customers, serving food, and bussing tables. The staff was working hard but it all ran smooth. Bottom Line: This was an easy five-star review. The food is excellent made even better by using Big Green Eggs. My only regret is we don't have one in Houston. Bon Appétit. read more

I absolutely loved this place! I got the Berry Good salad with the chicken salad add on as recommended. I must say it was VERY good! I was wary of going with the citrus vinaigrette dressing but I loved it. Not your normal vinaigrette....kind of .....creamy! Yes....I know....but it's delicious. I also had the red sangria....yummy! Definitely recommend you try it! My friend ordered us the half baked cookie as a surprise....oh my word!!! TRY IT! I honestly can't wait to go back and take my daughter. This is the kind of place she would LOVE...and so do I. Love that they support local farmers. Oh....and the feta was probably the best I have ever had. Very creamy and delicious! read more

If you're looking for a quick and healthy lunch spot, this is a great choice! This is my first time at Urban Cookhouse and I would gladly return. Very nice staff, lots of seating, and tasty food.

Farm to table. Small selection for sandwiches and salads but don't let that discourage you. I get the same thing, bacon, avocado, lettuce and tomato sandwich (Balt) and I add either turkey or ham depending on my mood. For my side I choose the broccoli salad which has never let me down. The also have a few entrees to choose from. Each order is about ten dollars or less, not including a drink read more

"An upscale subway". Don't get me wrong, the sandwiches were OK AND they source all their ingredients from local farmers which is why I'm giving them four stars, but they definitely could have been better. The steak sandwich (urban cowboy) was really plain and definitely needed more seasoning in the meat itself and more aioli. I was hoping for thinly sliced beef and not hunks of it. The El Cubano was the best one we ordered, but it could have used more mustard. We ended up taking both sandwiches home and "dressing them up" ourselves. Wishing i had just gotten a salad. read more

Came here for a working lunch. I hear the rolls are fantastic but since I'm doing Keto I didn't get one. However I did get the local mix salad with grilled chicken and ranch. This may be one of the best salads I've ever had for a quick lunch. The salad had good flavor and chicken was cooked perfectly! Even though you go through a line to order food and get your initial drink yourself, there is someone who comes through and sees if you need refills and will take your plates. I feel bad I didn't have cash to give her a tip. If I was a local I'd probably try everything on the menu and this would be a top lunch spot for me. read more

I have to preface this review by stating that I've never been to the original Urban Cookhouse in Homewood, so I can't compare the two locations, but Urban Cookhouse was a tasty respite from the madness of holiday shopping at The Summit. My companions and I ordered at the counter from a friendly gal, and the food came out quite quickly. UC is all about fresh and local ingredients, and it shows because my salad was just gorgeous, both in looks and taste. Companions were enthusiastic about their chipotle braised pork and hot cheddar pasta. The orange rolls are seriously off the chain. Why was only one served with my salad??? UC should serve at least two, preferably a dozen. Post-dinner, we actually ordered a side of them to savor. Hot deliciousness. read more
