We came here because of their amazing reviews. I have to say that the reviews lived up to the hype. I am so happy when that happens. First and foremost is halal!! Thankfully, the food scene in Houston is so great, that we don't have to settle for mediocre halal food, but this is not that. The customer service was great. I didn't get the name of the girl who took my order, but she was very sweet and helpful. She let me know that getting a combo was a $3 upcharge, and it got us a drink and a fries. I chose a Mexican type orange soda and it was delicious. The fries we got came out cold, but they got us new fries that were nice and hot so and the counter girl apologized for the fries that we got before which seemed hard, old and cold. So no harm no foul. I got the original burger, and it was really good. I like that it had caramelized onions and it just tasted very fresh and like the other of you said a hundred percent grass fed halal meat. We also got the hot chicken sandwich, which my husband preferred, because he liked the coleslaw addition to the sandwich. We also got garlic parmesan wings because of a picture I saw online, and I have to say the picture looked better than the actual wings.They were quite salty. I would not get those again. The establishment looks clean.The customer service was great, and besides the fries mishap, our food came out in a nice orderly time and was fresh and hot. I would definitely recommend to come here! read more

We stopped by Urban Skillet on a Friday evening after our student's basketball game. Overall, it was just okay. The lady at the register was attentive and helpful, offering a few suggestions that we actually went with. We both ordered the spicy burger with jalapeños. My husband got the regular fries, while I ordered the truffle fries with garlic Parmesan. Unfortunately, the meal itself was pretty meh--not bad, just nothing that stood out or wowed us. The ambiance was nice and modern, which I appreciated, and I do like that they're open until midnight on weekends--definitely a plus if you're out late. Would we go back? Maybe not. It wasn't terrible, but there was nothing memorable enough about the food to make it a repeat visit. read more

We were a party of six, 4 adults and 2 kids so we had a variety of food. Service was good, very friendly young woman at the front. The youngest got a kid meal which was a grilled cheese sandwich with French fries. My daughter got the very special burger with macaroni and cheese and an onion ring. It does require a fork to eat. My son got a spicy chicken sandwich which was excellent and I got onion rings. They were very good. My oldest grandson got a burger and the middle grandson got cheese fries. read more

I've had a lot of burgers in my lifetime. This one was just a regular burger for me personally it was lacking a bit of flavor even with the sauce they add on. I did like the fact that they were halal grass fed burgers --and they were huge. I also tried the Parmesan truffle fries, which were OK a little smaller than I would've liked. The service was good. It's tucked away in a little plaza. Overall it wasn't bad. I just wouldn't go out of my way to come back here. read more

The impossible burger was good but a bit greasy. It had a vegan sauce and the typical burger toppings but the vegan cheese was not available. At almost $14 for just a burger and no sides, I would only come back if it was the only option in the area. Although the guy at the front was very nice, the restaurant was very plain and empty. read more

Why 4 stars? Because I was craving a solid burger and that's what I got here. --- --- --- The menu here is really strong: I legitimately wanted to try more than half the menu. While I was really tempted by the truffle burger, I'm a sucker for BBQ burgers, so that's what I opted for, and I really enjoyed it. It did not cause me to be overwhelmed with convulsions because it was so amazing, but it was a hit-the-spot burger. I actually really enjoyed the brisket fries too. I almost just opted for regular fries, but I got those for my son so I could at least try some in their OG form. It turns out: fries are much better with brisket and all the fixins. Who knew? We visited at 1pm on a Sunday, and for the first 15 minutes or so, we were the only people in the restaurant. That bummed me out and I intended to include in my review that people need to support this local business! But as it turns out, a massive party of people walked in around the same time, so I feel a lot better about Urban Skillets' prospects. But still, support them, people of the Willowbrook area! read more

Urban Skillet - Smac N' Cheese Burger, Loaded Brisket fries, and Loaded Tots - Halal Near Me - Houston, Texas

As Californians who recently moved to Tomball, we've been on the hunt for a quality burger joint--something beyond the all-too-familiar taste of Whataburger. After what felt like an endless search, we stumbled upon Urban Skillet in Cypress, and let me just say: game changer. This place serves up gourmet burgers at the same price you'd pay for a standard fast food meal, but the difference in quality is night and day. You can taste the freshness--juicy beef patties, cooked to order, perfectly seared, and topped with real ingredients. And get this--grilled onions at no extra charge. That alone already tells you they care more about flavor than upcharges. Everything about our experience screamed quality and care, from the seasoned fries to the soft buns that hold up with every bite. It's a reminder that burgers don't have to be basic--they can be bold, rich, and satisfying without costing more. Thank you, Omar!! Texas folks: you need--no, you must--try this place for yourselves. If you've forgotten what a real burger tastes like, Urban Skillet will remind you. read more

This was my 2nd visit for lunch here & the food is soo tasty I reccomend the brisket fries, regular fries (still very flavorful!) & mushroom truffle burger & great music!

My rating is what it is because there's room to grow, but I'm happy to support more halal restaurants in Houston! They have a few locations established in California, but since this is the first Houston location, it still seems to be getting its feet on the ground. The brand owner was friendly, but service felt a bit mixed. The signage is also hard to see from the street, but I heard they might try to have it fixed so it will be more visible. They have plenty of options on the menu, and their burgers are generously filled and super messy to eat. I opted to try their Original Skillet Burger. It was filled with tasty ingredients like burger sauce and caramelized onions, but I felt that most of the flavor came from the toppings rather than the meat itself, which was almost tough. The burger bun also felt too cool to the touch when I picked it up, which was surprising. They have great marketing, so since their food photos were so beautiful my expectations might have been a bit too high. The sides are pricy, but the portions were generous. My friend really enjoyed the Truffle Banger and the Buffalo Chicken Fries. Interior is spacious and clean, but overly warm on a summer night; music was so loud it was hard to have a conversation. The hiccups I encountered seem like pretty easy fixes, so I'll be sure to give this place another try in case I just happened to come on an off day. - Ambiance: 3/5 - Food: 3/5 - Service: 3/5 read more

Had dinner here for the first time. Man we have been missing out. This was amazing. We both had the eggcellent burger. 2 good size smash patties, over easy egg, urban sauce, pickles and lettuce on a Brioche Bun. Best burger I've had in a long time. We got the brisket fries and loaded tots. Both are large enough to feed a family of 4. Service was great. They had a few large TVs and a nice patio out front. We will definitely be back. read more

Urban Skillet - Halal Near Me - Houston, Texas

The food was good, we ordered the urban skillet, the wings were good they just really needed sauce they had almost none, the sweet potato fries were good. 1 burger, 6 piece wings, 1 sweet potato fry, 2 waters and 1 soda it came out to be $38. They only have bottled drinks in a mini fridge, no fountain drinks or ice machine which is okay but if you're paying $14 for a burger the least you could expect is some ice to be available. Theres no napkins on the tables or shakers or condiments. It just feels really empty inside. The employee who took our order was nice. Overall the food was good but not enough to come back especially for the price. $1 extra for jalapeños is crazy in a restaurant who doesn't have an ice machine. read more

The food is spectacular! The original skillet burger tasted like a really good homemade burger but a thinner patty. The brisket fries were cooked amazingly. Just enough sauce and brisket without drowning the fries. I split my burger with my 6 year old daughter and she knocked it down! Can drinks so be ready for that caveat. We will definitely be back! read more

I love a good cheeseburger and I wanted to love this place so bad! The guy that took my order was very helpful and they have a variety of burgers made with different types of cheese, toppings, and condiments. The establishment had a nice atmosphere with a menu that includes classic cheeseburgers as well as unique and other gourmet options. It was like $50 for 2-double cheeseburgers, 1 kids single burger, and 1 order of fries ( one double cheeseburger was incorrectly made after we repeated the order 3 times) $9.50 for a kids single meat burger only w/o fries n drink. I was still hungry eating the burger too, which wasn't cool after spending $50 for 3 burgers and an order of fries. The burger was decent but not spectacular. I was still hungry immediately after I finished my burger. I'll give them 3 stars for not correctly taking my order and not feeling me up. read more

We loved this place! The food was incredible, the shakes were velvety and the customer service was top tier. We will absolutely be back!

Get the burger...Everything about the Southern BBQ Burger was good. My husband got the Truffle Banger and we shared fries. No complaints. The bun was something special. We were helped by the owner, Omar, who was very kind and helpful. Good music and kids friendly movie playing for patrons who brought their kiddos. We will definitely come back. Thanks Omar! read more

This place is AWESOME!!! My husband discovered Urban skillet and loved it so much he had to take me there for dinner.

Really excellent burger. read more

Amazing customer service! The food was absolutely delicious. We tried the burger,wings and wrap!! Definitely a must try

I came here on opening day with my family and for it being the first day, I'd say they did a good job. Food was 3/5 in terms of taste, but I will say I want to come back and try them out again now that they've been running for a while. Ambiance is nice. Service was a little slow that day, but I'll give them some grace because it was their first day. Overall, nice to have another halal burger spot in the Northside. read more

My burger was extremely good. I got a kids burger because every burger is served as a double patty. I don't need that much meat on my burger. It's quite pricey, but the quality was good, and the flavors were on point. The young lady who served me had a great smile, and was extremely polite and nice. So why did I give it three stars? Overpriced, ketchup comes in a small packet, they should at least put bottles on the table or have access to an easier distribution of ketchup if you're going to be a hamburger fries place, no drink machine, no ice, no cups. There are just some things that make me not come back. I don't care how good your food is. read more

Food was good, very fusion like. They have what they call "special sauce" that goes on some of the dishes. Service was friendly and upbeat. Place is mid size and not as loud. Clean bathrooms. Only part, I do wish they had a soda machine for ice and refills. The place was a little hot inside considering it's a summer in Houston. read more

I wasn't gonna do a review for this place but I have to give my honest opinion. I've eaten at burger joints very similar to this style all over the states. I have to say this was the absolute worst. I decided to order the Brisket sandwich /w brisket fries and my wife ordered the patty melt. The Brisket was extremely dry and bland!! No flavor at all so I spoke with the manager or owner and asked to replaced it with the Eggcellent Morning Burger. Now this burger was much better than the brisket sandwich but still bland/ no flavor and the egg was overcooked. The manager/owner was extremely nice and for that reason alone I would give this place another try! I'm not sure if the cook was having an off day or he just didn't care to make my order correctly. Another thing I didn't expect was that they only had can/ bottles drinks and store brand water. If I'm eating at a burger joint I'm gonna need refills a can soda ain't gonna do it. read more

Halal spot with really good burgers. All the burgers are smash burgers with double patties. Plus wraps, wings, a Nashville hot chicken sandwich, and a brisket sandwich. I got the mushroom-beef bacon-swiss burger that comes truffle mayo. It was saucy and flavorful. Would get again. Fries, tots, and sweet potato fries are all available and come in big portions. They'll also make disco fries/tots for you with sauce and grilled onions and cheese on them. The sauce was a lot, though, so be ready for that when you order. It's a #ForkSituation. All the food was obviously made fresh and brought out hot as soon as it was ready. So much so that the burgers beat the fries out of the kitchen by a couple minutes. But it all came out quick. No soda fountain or iced tea. Just a cooler with some juices, a couple kinds of canned soda, some flavored bubbly waters, some bubbly waters, and bottled water. The bathroom could have been cleaner but it wasn't gross. And it did have a lota. The people who work here are EXCEEDINGLY nice and friendly. They create the kind of vibe you want in a local strip mall restaurant. Very welcoming people, very good food, very laid back. read more

Do yourself a favor and split the fries with someone. Those, plus their half pound burgers, make for a huge meal! Burger was great. Very clean - could smell the cleaner used but it wasn't unpleasant. Big screen TVs tuned to March Madness. read more

So apparently they don't even invest in vegan cheese for the only vegan burger. Every time I visit they have the same disclaimer about how they don't have vegan cheese. They've also messed up EVERY order I've gotten from here with no discount or compensation. It's very annoying and now that I've found another place for vegan options in the area (Chilantro), I will not go back. read more

We decided to try this place since it was new and close to home. We placed our order online to go. When we arrived, I was told that they didn't have the brisket fries we ordered and they would make something else. He tried to call us but was calling the order number and not an actual phone number. We ended up with a truffle burger, original skillet, and urban fries. My husband and I both agreed that the burgers were a little salty. The fries were nothing special in my opinion. I wish we would've been able to try this brisket fires because it was just everything from the burger on top of fries. Overall the food was ok. Nothing stood out to us and nothing we tried makes us want to rush back. read more

The food was good, nothing special of the average meal at a Hopdoddy or expensive burger joint. The only issue I had was the ambiance. After hours they seem to play whatever music they'd like (really bad rap music) and it kinda ruined the vibe. The inside is pretty, lacks a bit of decor, but they need to work on better service because it just didn't feel like we were taken care of. Not worth coming back to, when I can eat like this anywhere else for a better experience. read more
