Burger with macaroni and cheese topping.
Colleen B.

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.

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.

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!

Smac N' Cheese Burger, Loaded Brisket fries, and Loaded Tots

Food- top notch! Made to order, fresh ingredients, flavor profiles that do not disappoint. This was our first time going, and we will definitely be back! Also, huge plus that it was open late. Dining area very clean and spacious. I see them adding more tables in the future.

Really damn good burger. Same price as a basic Whataburger. Come on! No brainer!
Thien T.

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.

Amazing food, excellent service. The plates are big enough and excellent presentation. I love it

Original Skillet Burger (Truffle Banger in the back)
Katrina M.

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

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.

Everything was great! Food, service, atmosphere! Definitely recommend! Had the original skillet and skillet fries!

Buffalo Wings and urban skillet burger

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.

Brisket Fries
Kinita L.

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!

Just visited Urban Skillet on Grant road.  Our 3rd time to visit. Great burgers and flies.  Staff is friendly and courteous.

Great burgers and fries. Highly recommended. Staff is friendly and courteous. On Grant road

Eggcelent Burger ..

Ordered for taket out .. was ready before the time stated so that was great . However $4.50 for the amount of fries they give is a little crazy. Would try again

Came here to celebrate a good friend's birthday and wasn't disappointed by their service nor food…read more Service was top-notched. We were seated promptly despite not having the full party. We appreciated that kind gesture. Every food item on the menu looked delicious. I decided on the Lamb Rack. Loved the texture of the lamb and loved the basmati rice. Lamb was cooked perfectly, and the rice was very fragrant. We were offered a complimentary Persian Ice Cream Sandwich which had an unique flavor. It wouldn't be a flavor for everyone, but to me, it was a perfect ending to a great entree as it was light and mildly sweet. Note that not all food options are halal. Their website is updated with the information and you could also ask the server for clarification. Absolutely adore the interior. The restaurant could get loud but still bearable. Complimentary valet parking is available. Self-parking is also available. Highly recommend to make reservation as the restaurant does get crowded during peak hours.

Since this place was a surprise venue for me, as soon as I saw the name "Rumi," I knew nothing could go wrong with it. I collected so many of Rumi's books, and having them around me makes me feel very peaceful. My family in Houston waited six months to celebrate my birthday due to my health issues, and I feel so blessed to have them around me. This place is always crowded, so please make a reservation even on weekdays. We went on weekdays, and even then we got a reservation for 8:45 pm. But honestly, every effort was worth it. We got there on time. Velet parking is available, but if you want to avoid more waiting, pass the restaurant, and you will see a big parking lot. We walked in and loved the interior, but it was very crowded with happy faces. We were seated in 5 minutes and started enjoying the ambiance and decor. It's a beautiful place to celebrate precious moments with your family and friends. Everyone loved our server, Zack, and his presence and approach. He talks so kindly with each of us. His recommendations were so good that we found every kind of dish for everyone, including vegetarian options. We started with sides, Thanks to Zack.

It just doesn't compare to the real BBQ joints in Houston. Somewhat tough in parts. Not much bark. The sausage was the absolute worst I've ever had anywhere in my life. I wouldn't feed it to my dog. It went in the trash. Saffron rice was my ok, pointless really. Mac 'n cheese very plain Jane. The ice in my soda smelled funny. They did have some good employees. Service was great. They get a second star just for that. Don't think I'll be going back. I just have to say that I've been to some really crappy, run-down BBQ restaurants over the years. Old places where the owners are burned out and the staff doesn't care. Corners are cut and they just barely try. I'm sure you can think of some BBQ hole in the walls like that. As bad as they are with their Ekrich sausage, Van Camps pork 'n beans, Walmart meats, and KC Masterpiece bbq sauce - even they are better than Levant BBQ.

I'm always happy to discover a good restaurant recommendation, and this one definitely did not disappoint. They had someone out front handing out samples of their Jollof rice, curry sauce, and stewed plantains, which were part of their Golden Bowl. I'm not a big plantain person, so I initially asked for mine without them. But, I decided to give them a try anyway, both with and without them. I'm glad I did because the plantains actually added a really nice balance to the dish. The combination of the rice, curry, and plantains was mostly savory with just a hint of sweetness. Hands down, this was my favorite dish. I also have to give a shout out to the woman out front handling the samples. I spoke with her the most, and she did a really good job of selling the restaurant. She was welcoming, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Sometimes it's the little things, like someone taking the time to introduce you to the food and make recommendations, that can really make a difference. All in all, ChopNBlok was a great find, and I'm glad my friend recommended it. I don't live in the area, but if I ever find myself back there, I would definitely return for the Golden Bowl. It's always nice when you discover a dish that makes you want to come back for more!

We ain't in Queens anymore…read more For years, I've eaten on Shah's all around the borough, initially out in Ozone Park and Briarwood before finding a real audience in Sunnyside. Now that they've sufficiently blown up around NYC, I was a bit shocked (and excited) to see them finally come to H-Town. What's the verdict? It's good enough to pass muster for NY standards (#1), is open super late, and will likely be my go-to Halal food for the foreseeable future. Since I've only had it in cart form, I'm still a buggin over the fact it's become a franchise. It's similar to my shock of eating Halal Guys at a store for the first time. The digs feel as foreign (prices, large, clean and bright interior) as it does familiar (taste, logo, etc.). Even though I had a laugh seeing the wall photo-mural of a Shah's cart in Times Square, I did appreciate the nod to Ozone Park with the 121st & Liberty street signs. The chicken + lamb combo platter ($12) is and always will be the winner. The lamb had the same kind of seasoning that most Halal spots out here try to replicate but can never get right. The rice was fluffy, and the white sauce was easily the highlight. I can understand why they've decided to bottle it up and sell it as liquid gold. It makes every meal better. Kofta ($12) and chapli ($13) are rarely my favorites, but I knew I had both in platter form. The addition of adding chickpeas and these other salads is not something I'm used to from the carts (#2) but I loved the fact it was drowned in the white sauce with a dash of hot sauce. The latter is supposedly extremely hot, but I didn't find it that spicy. While I have to say the cheeseburger was a bit of a disappointment (overly bready, thin patty), the pakora chips and french fries were fabulous. They were perfectly seasoned, had a nice crisp, and frankly would be an excellent, gut-busting addition to any platter. I don't love the extra charge, but I hope they remain consistent with it. This store location in Westchase along Westheimer is an up and coming part of town. There are numerous Middle Eastern businesses in the adjacent area, along with an abundance of parking spots and a good amount of late night activity. Service was friendly but I do hope they keep their standards up. As time goes on, I'm 100% convinced this will be a destination for the many late night meal seekers and fans of NY nostaligia. __________ (#1) Which automatically supersedes a lot of the ones here in Houston. Just keeping it real. (#2) Is the chickpeas a Houston thing? Genuinely curious.

Excellent lamb over rice. Got a bogo offer on Uber eats, and decided to try it out after great yelp…read morereviews. Yelp was right. Flavorful, filling, and fresh. I got the white sauce on the lamb and the spicy red sauce on the side. Unfortunately after a few bites I put too much hot sauce on, which made it less enjoyable, but that was my fault. I'd order this again, very solid, reminded me of some of the best halal trucks in NYC. 5*.
