I love urban plates, it's always clean and the food is amazing, also Vonya is awesome and very helpful I love her.

I still stand by my earlier review of another Urban Plates location. The quality isn't quite what it was five years ago. But this San Jose spot won me over. We bought the annual pass, which takes 20% off everything, and ordered the Moroccan braised chicken with mashed potatoes, the sea bass, and the banana cream pie. All of it was top notch. The fish is excellent, and that pie is SUBLIME. Even with the pass, it's a great deal, especially when everything in San Jose is so expensive. The food is healthier and not greasy. We're they bigger before? Yes, but that's everywhere. My only gripe: it saved my credit card automatically. For an annual pass, I don't get why they need to keep it on file, and it wore me out a bit. Still five stars. I'll be back! Thanks! read more

Food was mediocre and came out cold. Very very expensive for how little food I got and food tasted pretty bland. Also service was pretty whatever and food took an insanely long time, like 45 minutes Probably won't come back read more

Come See Vonya at Urban Plates She was very sweet. She had very good customer service. She answered all the questions in regards of certain dishes that were curious about so many good options She had so many good recommendations. We ended up getting the surf and turf &. The Grilled Grass fed steak family style in love very delicious steak melted in my mouth thanks again Vonya She's such a great cashier & Server Thanks Vonya we will definitely be back & thank you for your great hospitality read more

The ambiance is nice sitting outside on Santana Row but I didn't think the food was that good. The chimichurri steak was kind of small and left me hungry afterwards. The parm truffle fries were just ok. The Mac & cheese was kind of watery. I would only eat here for the location probably a waste to get it doordashed. The lemonade was way too sweet couldn't even drink it. read more

Urban Plates is a no frills, healthier choice, wide selection type of casual restaurant where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you at your table. It has a more modern, contemporary feel that emphasizes customization choices and friendly customer service. You walk in and order at the counter, where there's a clearly displayed menu with all the choices above the register area. The prices are pretty typical, but they do have chef specials that are discounted and rotate. The day we went, it was the roasted chicken that was the chef special, so we tried that. They make a point of bringing the food to you, which is nice, and they make sure you have everything you need. The food was well prepared and tasty - it felt like effort was taken to make it delicious home-cooked feeing type of meal. The Brussel sprouts were very good, as was the chicken. Portion sizes were fine, though not what I'd call generous. The garlic bread was a little lacking - just not really toasted enough, and perhaps as a healthier restaurant, they didn't butter and salt it up too much, which is fine. Just more toasting would have made it better. I left after the meal not quite full, but satisfied enough. I enjoyed the meal and experience and would come back again to try more menu items. read more

Had the Moroccan Chicken and Salmon. Moroccan chicken came with basmati rice and toast. The sauce had cumin flavor, like peppery cilantro mix. The salmon was good and well seasoned. Not fishy at all. Also came with basmati rice, and broccoli florets. The broccoli had slight sweetness to it. Flourless cake for dessert which was quite chocolatey. It's like eating a more crumbly brownie. Food came out quickly. They have soda fountain with sodas that use cane sugar and supposedly natural flavorings. read more

Cute place, easy to order. Met a colleague for lunch, easy there's a parking garage across the street. Plenty of options to choose from and so easy to order from the table. Prices are as expected. I ordered the salad but the lettuce should have been checked, some pieces have seen better days. And that's the reason they get only 3 stars. Check your ingredients for $22 of a salad I don't want to get half dead pieces of lettuce I will say the seared tuna salad as good and a nice portion too read more

Disclaimer: Ordered on doordash. The flavors of the chicken were carried through with the chimichurri sauce. Seasoned well. The roasted potatoes were cooked perfectly with soft texture when biting. The broccolini in the sesame sauce was sweet balancing the meal overall. Everything came inside the bag with utensils and microwavable takeout trays. Would like to try again in person! read more

TLDR - 5/5 for the ribs only, 3/5 for the steak. Shockingly good ribs... had to commend them. My girlfriend asked me to take her to urban plates and I was rolling my eyes because I've had it in college in San Diego where it is basically upscale quick service food, not quite sit down not quite fast food. But let me tell you how shocked I was when I tried their bbq ribs. I literally had my jaw drop when I tried pulling apart the first rib and the entire bone almost came clean off. The meat was juicy, tender, and had the right amount of fat and seasoning. hot take but I swear these ribs were better than some places I've been that specialized in bbq.. I enjoyed my ribs so much I went into flow state and ignored my girlfriend who offered me some of her food. I eventually tried some of her chimichurri steak and yeah... it was mid just like I remember in college. Not bad, serviceable. read more

Urban Plates - Grilled BBQ Pork Ribs - Salad Near Me - San Jose, California

Food Rating: 3/10 Price: 7/10 Ambiance/Service: 7/10 Overall Rating: 5.7 Came here at 7pm on a Sunday, and there was plenty of seating inside. It's mostly self service. You order at the counter, get a number, pick where you want to sit, and they bring the food to you. Even before my food came out, I noticed a weird, unpleasant sour smell in the air while sitting down. The food came out pretty fast and the prices were pretty fair, but overall the food quality wasn't great. Grilled Grass Fed Steak - $22.99 Rating: (3/10) It hurt a little when I ordered and the cashier at the front didn't ask me how I wanted the steak cooked. They even ask at Chili's how you'd like your steak done. The steak was cooked medium (a bit overcooked for my liking) and was pretty dry toward the side pieces. I also think there needed to be a bit more seasoning variety than just salt and pepper, since it tasted pretty bland. The fries were okay, a bit too salty and under fried. A lot of the bites I had were filled with massive salt crystal chunks. But the real meal and dish killer was the brussels sprouts. First off, it looked nothing like the pictures on the website. The brussels sprouts were way undercooked. The balsamic dressing was unpalatable, purely a bad balsamic vinaigrette, overwhelmingly harsh with a throat burning sourness that overpowered the dish rather than balancing it. It also tasted like sugary corn syrup mixed with harsh vinegar, coating veggies in a sticky, cloying film. Looking back, that pungent vinaigrette could be what I was smelling in the air before my food even came out. read more

The cashier named Vonya didn't have good customer service. I was ordering and after naming one entree, she cut me off to ask my partner what his order was and immediately told us the total of the order. No drinks were even ordered yet, not even a "would you like to order any drinks or is that all for you both today?" Every order results to an immediate "your total is $". She was just in a rush and it was unpleasant. Lots of tables were dirty but one of the bussers Eric cleaned up the table we were trying to sit at right away and he wiped it down clean. Thumbs up for Eric. Down for Vonya. Once order arrived to our table, we were never provided with utensils. Other than that, food was good we ordered the aleppo salmon plate, pork ribs, and corn on cob with the strawberry mint basil lemonade and the cantaloupe pineapple mango drink. Pork ribs was a bit dry but the BBQ sauce is very good and it wasn't sticking to the bone. Mashed potatoes had a good consistency. The cantaloupe pineapple mango could use more sweetener. Love the corn. Overall portion and taste is good for the value read more

Had a grilled steak salad delivered for lunch. In the picture of the salad on the DoorDash menu, the steak looks nicely cooked medium rare. When I received my salad, most of the pieces were well-done with a few medium. It was disappointing. There is an option to select well-done when ordering, but I didn't select it. The salad itself was pretty unexciting, too, with just mixed greens and coconut roasted cashews. That was partly my fault because I had them hold the mango salsa and jicama. I added red onions and avocado from my own kitchen and that helped liven it up. I also discovered if I dipped the steak in the salad dressing it tasted better. The salad dressing was honey Dijon, but it tasted more like thousand island. That's okay, I like thousand island. The best part of the salad was the coconut roasted cashews. Wow, they were delicious. I don't think I'll order that again for delivery. If I have it again, it will be in person so I can send it back if the steak is well-done. DoorDash gave me a partial refund this time. read more

I really enjoyed this place and it was on a whim that we stopped by to check it out. We spent the day in Santana Row shopping and my kids wanted something to eat. My daughters chose this place after visiting the other restaurants nearby and peeping menus. This one appealed to them so we went inside. We waited in line to order and then took our number to find a booth to sit at. Service was quick and our food arrived shortly after. The salad was so good with a mixture golden and red beets. My son finished his whole bowl of the chicken tortilla soup. Both my daughters devoured their bacon cheeseburgers with fries. My husband sipped on the cantaloupe mango drink and said it was refreshing. Inside it was comfy with booths and tables. Clean atmosphere and nice servers. Will come back again! read more

This was my first time at this particular urban plates at Santana Road. I've been to the one in Sunnyvale a handful of time. All I really wanted was hummingbird cake and some coffee but I knew I needed something more substantial for lunch. Lol so I got the Aji seared tuna and had it well done. I got a side of mushrooms and country potatoes. To my surprise the country Potatoes had blue as well as Yukon gold and regular potatoes in the mixture! Wow! I was very impressed!! The server was incredibly polite with us since my girlfriend and I were meeting up after not hanging out for two years and we couldn't figure out what we wanted! Once we got our food, everything tasted delicious and my girlfriends like their salad and sandwich sandwiches. The ambience was very open and friendly. Everything was clean and very well organized! I wouldn't mind coming back here again for lunch. I definitely loved the hummingbird cake as well as the giant slice they gave me!! Needless to say I ate the whole hummingbird cake and took my lunch to go. Lol. read more

The place is spacious with many tables. There are seating outside the restaurant as well. Came here for a late lunch with a friend. There was no line, however, the two workers at the front just ignored us while they were busy working behind the counter. We waited for about 10 mins before someone acknowledged us and asked if we were ready to order. Not good customer service to begin with. We ordered the Grilled Chicken plate (with chimichurrii sauce) and the Roasted Barramundi Seabass plate. The grilled chicken is moist and the chimichurri sauce is very good. For the harrisa lime cauliflower, it's a bit too salty and too much lime. The roasted brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze is pretty good. My friend said the roasted barramundi seabass is good but the rainbow carrots and golden beets side dish is greasy. It's pretty pricey for the portion size. For adding a side of protein to a salad (that doesn't come with any protein) such as grilled chicken, it's another $10 that is expensive. The price you pay is like eating at a full service restaurant. read more

Service was fast - we ordered, found a table, and the food came within 10 minutes. The sides were flavorful and well-made but the proteins were a bit disappointing. The steak I ordered took a while to chew through and the chili glazed tofu (vegetarian) my mom ordered was just a firm block that might not have been marinated for long enough. I'd probably just get a sides plate next time or try the beef braise soup. read more

Came with friends on a Wednesday around 7:30pm and we were able to place our orders right away at the front. Urban Plates is located in Santana Row among many other food spots, and parking was easy to find in one of the nearby garages. Despite how lively Santana Row usually is, Urban Plates felt quiet and chill as soon as we walked in. The space was clean, spacious, and warmly lit, which made it a comfortable place to dine. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including soups and salads, American-style plates and bowls, and sandwiches. There's also a cute display of desserts at the front. I ordered: the Grilled Grass-Fed Steak Sandwich: steak was cooked nicely, well-seasoned, and served with perfectly toasted bread and chips on the side. Nothing fancy, but clean, good, and simple. Overall, Urban Plates is a solid spot for a relaxed, no-frills meal at Santana Row. read more

Tried Urban Plates take-out when planning a movie night, glad to find a new solid option! * Location: Indoor & outdoor seating, order at cashier firsr or place your mobile order. Restaurant is in Santana Row, pick parking garage of your choice for easy access. * Online order was easy, pick-up was super fast & efficient. Food was packaged very practically (ex: fries in a sealed box to keep them crispy). We tried the tomato soup, portobello mushroom sandwich, & chicken tenders. All fresh-tasting (nothing too heavy or greasy), good flavors, & solid meals without tasting like fast food. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time! read more

Came to pick up our pre-ordered Turkey Family Meal yesterday. We got it once the year before from a different location and liked it a lot. While I enjoyed cooking for my family last Thanksgiving, I missed how much more relaxed it was when someone else did the cooking and I could spend more time with my family doing other things. We had ordered Thanksgiving meals from a number of other places over the years, but they would all require re-heating. It's a no-brainer to order from Urban Plates again this year as their meal was hot and ready to eat and it would be just for 3 adults. Price of the family meal had only increased slightly compared to 2 years ago (about $118 after surcharge and tax). I placed a separate order for two slices of pie to be picked up at the same time, too. Street parking was easy a little before 6:30pm. There was no line for pickup and the food (one big bag for the family meal, and one small bag for the pie slices) were already on a table near the back inside the restaurant. The bags were clearly marked with my name. The food smelled really good in the car, and was still warm when we got home. The turkey breast was moist, the Brussel sprouts were really tasty, and not bitter at all. The mashed potato was not bad. The bread and the stuffing were a little brand, though. Adding gravy to them did help, fortunately. We had enough leftover for another person as the meal was supposed to serve 4. We warmed up the apple pie slice, and shared it with ice cream. A perfect sweet ending to our meal. We're too full to even try the pumpkin pie slice, and had to save it for another day. I would consider ordering a Thanksgiving meal from Urban Plates again for the convenience. read more

4.5 rounded to 5 For a casual place located on Santana Row, Urban Plates actually exceeded my expectations, which were influenced by my previous experiences of Santana Row. You can order at the front counter near the entrance or use the QR code on the table (or the website) to do so. I chose to order from the table since I was waiting for the rest of the party. The website is straightforward and easy to use, and note there is a subscription available for frequent diners to purchase that enables them to order menu items with a noticeable discount. We tried the grassfed steak (with fries and caesar salad (extra $1 for that option) and the pork ribs (half rack). The steak was ok but I felt it needed some additional seasoning (chimichurri is $1 extra, and can be ordered either as an add-on or through the separate menu option of chimichurri grassfed steak). Keep in mind that grassfed beef will usually taste different from beef raised or finished on grains. I don't think I would order the steak again. The pork ribs though earned a high rating for the restaurant. Note that this is listed as a seasonal item but I hope they make it a permanent part of the menu, as I would return for it. The meat is very tender, you can say it falls off the bone. The sauce is all right and rather sweet; I actually think the ribs didn't need as much sauce on them, and the sauce on the side was more than enough. The two sides a friend ordered for his pork ribs plate were brussel sprouts w/balsamic dressing and carrots and beets, and he liked both. The pork ribs can be ordered by themselves as a protein side; if you order the pork ribs plate with an extra side of ribs, that's about a full rack and comparable to a full rack plate that you would get at the bbq places around here, and the ribs at Urban Plates are comparable in taste, if not better. A friend's ice tea order was a bit late but eventually brought to the table, but only after we had already asked the young lady who brought our food the table about it and she had brought one to the table for us. Great customer service and attentiveness from her. (The staff taking orders at the front counter take care of drink orders.) There are three bathrooms; the one I used was ok though the toilet could have been cleaned. I don't know how often the bathrooms are serviced. The faucet can be tricky as the sensor is located on the wall and you may need to wave your hand in front of it at a closer distance than you would think necessary. This is a good, (more) economical dining option at Santana Row. (Though fountain beverages will be at Santana Row prices.) It is a nice casual place for eating and hanging out with friends if it's not too busy, but keep in mind that parking at Santana Row is free for only the first two hours. read more

I just got this for dinner via delivery from foodie earth which is the best food delivery service in the Bay. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and brussel sprouts. I was shocked how good the Brussel sprouts and fries were!!! The fries were fresh cut cooked to perfection with Parmesan and truffle. They came with a delish dipping sauce. The cheeseburger was okay, the bun was not fresh which made it not as good, but I would still try it again another time to see if that is fixed. It has low calories like 530 and pretty filling! Overall, this was such a good good meal, would definitely order this exact meal again!! Also love how they have good soda!! Got a diet soda as well and it was so good! read more

First off this place is cafeteria style you walk in and have to order your food at the register an get all your own utensils. When getting our sodas ice was empty we had to wait 10 minutes for someone to refill it. When food was being prepared we noticed a horrible fishy smell and when plates came out what we had been smelling was the shrimp on the steak and shrimp plate. The fish smell was so strong and foul the steak was cold and as if boiled. The Brussel sprouts were cold and soggy tasting like old fart. We had burgers as well they came out completely cold and were disgusting. We also ordered the grilled chicken Cobb salad and the chicken looked and tasted like rubber it also looked boiled. None of the food was edible except the French fries. This place was absolutely disgusting not worth a penny don't waste your time. read more

I'm so glad I stopped by here for lunch. It was my first time eating here. I was immediately greeted when I walked through the door. The gentleman behind the counter kindly welcomed me and explained how the ordering works. I decided on the seared wild ahi tuna. It came with my choice of two sides. I chose the hummus and pita chips and a side salad. I also ordered an iced tea. I was given a number to place at my table so that they can deliver my food to me. I chose a comfy booth inside. They do have outdoor seating, but the sun was hitting that area pretty hard, so I chose to sit inside. They have an area for self serve drinks and silverware. I filled up my iced tea and got my utensils and waited for my food. My food came out fast. The young man who brought my food was very kind and attentive. He also got me a to go cup to fill up when I left, which I thought was so nice. They have the best customer service. My food was excellent. The seared ahi was fresh and was delicious especially with the ponzu sauce. The hummus was perfect and the pita chips were still warm from the oven. My salad was also very good with a lovely vinaigrette on the side. I really love that they have so many protein options. There is something for everyone here. I will definitely be back to try other menu items. read more

First off, food here is GREAT. Great options, portions, quality and flavor. Great atmosphere. Its not library quiet but its still calm enough to have a conversation with library voices. Not my first time coming here but this review has to be made. I was placing an order to eat in. I was greeted by Vonya, who asked what we would like. I told her my plate which was followed up with my S/O ordering their plate. Without hesitation, Vonya says, "Your total will be _____." Caught off guard, my S/O stops her and places an order for a side of the corn on the cob. Again, immediately after, Vonya says "Your total will be _____." We begin to get annoyed and then say we want to order drinks too. We tell her which drinks we want and AGAIN for the third time, without missing a beat, "Your total will be _____. If you would like to leave us a 5 star review on Google, you can get your two drinks for free." After being rushed multiple times by her, we staunchly refuse and say, "Not today." I pay, we take out number and drinks and we go to find a table. We came at a busy time and only a couple tables in not-so-optimal spots were available. We spot a table that is more comfortable for us, but it hasn't been bussed yet. A gentleman comes up behind us, and says, "I can clear this for you." He stops what he's doing, takes the dishes and as we go to set our stuff down, he goes even further and says, "let me wipe that table for you." All I can say to this is, THANK YOU ERIK. After witnessing that start contrast between service, we enjoy our food. Close to the end of our meal, my S/O sings praises about the corn. I ask her if she would like me to order more corn for us to take to-go. She could not resist. I go up to the counter to order, and am met by Vonya. She says, "Hello, are you ordering for here or to-go?" I tell her "to-go. I just want to order two orders of the corn on the cob please." I am then met by the driest sigh she could have ever let out in front of me. "Your total will be _____." I pay, take the receipt, and she says TO MY FACE, "we will call your name when it's ready." I go sit down and wait for the corn while we finish up our meal. Our table is right next to the front counter. We can see the side where the to-go orders are placed for pick-up. 20 minutes goes by, and I see Vonya place a bag down on the counter. WE MAKE DIRECT EYE CONTACT, as she physically TURNS HER HEAD TO LOOK AT ME, and says nothing. I remember what she said to me. They will call my name. I sit for about 5 more minutes. 25 minutes for some corn is ridiculous, right? Has to be. I go up to the counter, speak to a different gentleman, and ask for a follow up on my corn. Vonya steps in behind him and says "oh it's over there on the counter." It was the bag I watched her place down. I think at this point, when I come back, if I'm greeted by Vonya again, I might just leave and try again later. Or just ask for someone else. read more

8.75/10 I ordered the Moroccan Chicken Braise and the Grilled Grass-Fed Steak Sandwich, and overall it was a fresh, satisfying meal that felt both wholesome and flavorful. Starting with the Moroccan Chicken Braise, it was a pleasant surprise and something different from my usual order. The chicken was tender, juicy, and packed with warm Moroccan spices that gave the dish depth and character. I'm typically not a fan of squash, but this completely changed my mind. It was cooked perfectly, soft and absorbed all the savory flavors beautifully. The only downside for me was the yellow basmati rice. I didn't love the flavor or texture; it felt slightly underwhelming compared to the boldness of the rest of the dish. Now for the highlight: the Grilled Grass-Fed Steak Sandwich. Absolutely amazing and a must-order. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender with a great sear and full of rich flavor. The rustic bread choice was spot on: sturdy enough to hold everything together while still soft inside. The real standout was the chimichurri aioli. It was my first time trying it, and it did not disappoint, creamy, herby, and slightly tangy, it tied the entire sandwich together perfectly. On the side, we ordered the Harissa Lime Cauliflower, which unfortunately wasn't my favorite. The lime was a bit overpowering and took away from the balance of the dish. However, the Roasted Mushrooms with Garlic Parmesan Butter were phenomenal. Deep umami flavor, rich without being heavy, and an excellent pairing with the steak sandwich. Definitely recommend ordering those together. The ambiance was nice, clean, and gave off modern hipster vibes, relaxed but trendy. Service was fast and efficient. read more

This updated review is for the service and not the food. I placed a mobile order for pickup that said my order would be ready at 4:22pm. I came a bit early just to wait and there were already a couple people that were waiting for their orders. We all stood around and there only seemed to be 1 person manning the register to take orders and apparently bag to go orders as well. There just seemed to be a lot of dysfunction of not knowing what to do. There were times where they would check on orders but then leave the register empty so customers coming in just stood there until they came back. I got a text that my order was getting bagged but it just never came out and no one was there to check. Everyone was just in the back bagging up orders and seemed like patrons dining in were a bit ignored as well as I saw multiple people have to go back and ask for their food or other items. I finally got my order along with about 4/5 other people at the same time not knowing when they actually placed their order. This was about 4:50 before I got my food. My feedback is to have a better system for this as I had my wife and child waiting and this isn't what I would expect from an online ordering system with an ETA on when to get my food. read more

This place is known for their healthy options. I went with the chimmuchuri grilled steak and you get to pick two sides. I picked broccoli and ceasar salad. It's order at the counter, get a number and then they bring it to your table. It was 22.95 for my plate. It was a small portion of steak but perfectly cooked and the chimmuchuri sauce was amazing. It was already sliced for you for easy eating. The side of broccoli and salad were huge, and it came with rustic bread too. I was so hungry I ate the whole thing (haha) but it was soooo delicious! read more

Very hearty and healthy tasting food. I could tell the ingredients are fresh, and the wait time was not bad at all coming for a lunch on a random weekday.

We decided to check out this place after hearing about it online, and we were pleasantly surprised! We came on a Monday for early dinner and there was no wait. They are located in Santana Row near Maggiano's and Palmetto. They have a wide variety of menu options, but we got the braised beef and mushrooms and the chimichurri grilled steak. Service is quick and friendly, shoutout to Serena C. for helping us out with the menu! After we placed our order in the front, the food came out quickly after. Both entrees were easily 5/5, and the sides are equally as good. Highly recommend getting their mashed potatoes and their garlic parmesan mushrooms!

Rating it for what it is. Great food that comes out fast. Burger and chimchurri steak was good, but what stood out to me was the sides. The carrots and sprouts tasted great, over cooked but perfectly seasoned. The olive oil used to sauteed the vegetables to accompany steak was a great dipping sauce for the bread they provided. For the cost and flavor ratio, it's priced accordingly, service was non existent because you order and pay before being seated. Also, the drinks were self serve. I really enjoyed their "rustic' approach. The interior was clean, self serve sauces and drinks....they have outdoor dining. So much potential to be a dine-in restaurant, but it seems like they are more focused with their mobile ordering such as grubhub, Uber eats etc... read more

Urban Plates is a solid spot if you're looking for something that feels a little upscale without the big price tag. You order at the counter, choose your protein, sauce and sides, pay, then grab a seat and they bring the food out to you. Super easy. I went with the grass-fed steak plate, which comes with two sides and a piece of bread. The steak was actually more tender than I expected, which was a nice surprise. The chimichurri sauce had good flavor but was a little on the oily side. The bread tasted a bit burnt--not terrible, just kind of took away from the rest of the plate. For sides, I got the Caesar salad and broccolini. Both were really good--the salad was fresh and the broccolini was cooked perfectly. I also like that they offer sauces like California Pepper Plant, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Nice little touches like that go a long way. The place has a clean, modern vibe and the food comes out pretty fast. Overall, it's a great go-to when you want something quick but still good quality. read more
