    Club Turkey Sandwich.  Very nice and fresh.
    Craig W.

    It's a very attractive restaurant but we ordered our food to go. It was ready on time and we received exactly what we ordered. The Santa Maria BBQ sandwich has good BBQ flavor, although it won't be winning any awards in any BBQ contests. It comes with bacon, cheese, slaw, and dressing. It's a solid choice. The Club sandwich is also very good. It comes turkey, bacon, avocado, cheese, and some various veggies. Both sandwiches came with a very nice and fresh side salad. The bread here is obviously made fresh. If you order on the app, first time users get a freshly-baked cookie. And that cookie is very good. Solid choice for very fresh sandwiches and an excellent cookie.

    Urbane Café - Great Post-Workout Lunch Spot! I stopped by Urban Café after a workout and ordered the pastrami tip sandwich with a side salad -- and it was absolutely delicious. The sandwich came with a honey mustard sauce that really brought everything together, and the bread was soft and fresh. For about $13.55, it was a solid deal. The place is clean and has a friendly vibe. You order at the counter, take a number card to your table, and they bring the food out to you. I also used the restroom to wash up before eating and it was clean and presentable. I definitely plan to come back and try another sandwich. For a quick, tasty lunch in a casual setting, this spot hits the mark.

    Oh my gosh--the food here is so good! I had the chimichurri steak sandwich, and my husband had the pastrami. Both came with a small side salad, which was a nice touch. Even the cashier was super friendly and helpful. Easy 5 out of 5!

    This is a go to spot after I get my braces adjusted. I get the Ben with either the chips or the salad. Or you can have fruit. I tend to opt out from the fruit so I couldn't speak on what that's like. It's right off the Kids Menu. I get it because it's kind of an upscale grilled cheese and it has bbq sauce and chicken....And because it's one of the softer option...Hence it's ideal for just after the Ortho adjustments :-) I love the focaccia bread. The staffers are friendly enough, the place kept well managed, & has a nice open floor plan if you like to dine in. It has bench wall seats and high top style tables. The only thing today was the soap was out in the unisex bathroom that I went into (I let the young lady know & she received the information kindly) My chicken had some cold spots so as I'm sure the tender chicken "cold cut" pieces just needed some extra time on the heat. I didn't mention that to the staff. I'm pretty sure the chicken was just cool and not a raw type situation. So it wasn't that big of a deal. A little bit warmer and it would've been perfect. What I found adorable was some kids thought the bread was pizza. What a novice idea! I bet the bread would make a lovely individual mini pizza for the kiddos. The kid at heart in me would probably order that if something like that ever became a thing here. Chill dinning experience and this time I gobbled it all up. Sometimes I get a side soup too. Also, I mentioned to the Hubs that if it wasn't for an official Yelp event here (years ago) I wouldn't have even known about this exact place. We've been to the O'side one as well. That's a newer location. Lots of pick up/take out orders here. Check them out!

    Great service and food! Lovely, clean environment in Encinitas! Great cookies and salad

    UC Banh Mi Chicken Sandwich...delicious!
    Charles H.

    Seriously- the perfect lunch place. First time ever here. Didn't realize it was a chain, because it didn't feel like one. Went with the Chicken Bahn Mi and side salad. Everything was super fresh and delicious, and the price was reasonable. The little red peppers in the sando have a kick! The side salad with the mandarins and feta was simple and perfect. A welcome break from fries. Super stoked to know there's a closer one in Mira Mesa.

    Tri tip Pastrami sandwich
    Lyn V.

    We were in the area and about to go to Cava since that is our favorite spot but decided to see what this place was about. So glad we do! Customer service was good and the food was delicious as well. I was fulfilled with my salmon bowl. I also had a bite of the tri tip pastrami sandwich, pretty good. The food did not disappoint

    Good variety of menu. Counter help couldn't answer what kind of salmon, food was tasty but too much sauce for my liking. Love the bread

    Chimichurri Steak Sandwich
    Colin T.

    After a long days work of watching friends and spouse at tennis camp, what better way to refuel than healthy salad and a filling sando? The restaurant has a pleasant sit down style layout with more cushy seats on the far wall, but we weren't just looking for a place for its looks. Our cashier took our orders with lightning speed and we got our food in less than 10 minutes with 5 ppl ordering. Service to get seated was *chef's kiss*. Wife ordered the steak chimichurri sando and I got the keto salad with extra meat. HIT THE SPOT. After nearing food coma, we brought our plates back to its storage home for clean up near the exit, and went back home on our merry way. Would I come back here? You darn right I will. Let's go!!

    UC Banh Mi Chicken Sandwich... yum
    Peter I.

    Big fan of the food and service here. The bahn Mai sandwich has so many flavors and last night we both had the Santa Maria bbq chicken salad. Again so fresh and truly enough for two. The inside is always spotless and table service is great. Order up front and it's brought to you. Add a cookie if you dare as you'll want 10! Good spot. Going to try the bowls next!

    Cilantro chicken salad
    Krystal B.

    Decent salad. Ordered the cilantro chicken salad, minus the bean salsa. The cilantro vinaigrette is a more oily and sweet than I'd prefer, but pairs well with the salad. I also opened for the super greens to enhance the nutritional value since the other ingredients are fairly minimal. Just cheese, avocado, green mix and chicken. Perfect for a cleansing salad that's easy on the stomach. They accommodated my swaps, it was quickly prepared and packaged securely, service wise.

    When will the Carlsbad or Oceanside location open?

    Thank you for reaching out Nicole! We hope to open our Oceanside location at the end of this year!

    Went today and were told they closed at 3 by the employee signaling to us, but the sign said differently. We drove from Carlsbad based on the published hours. Is this new?

    I have been an Urbane Cafe follower for a bit over a year and although I didn't receive an email about it this year, I remember an email about holiday hours last year. UC management hosts a holiday party for their employees and I bet that was the… Read more

    Is this place dog friendly on the patio?

    Yes, there are a few tables outside and dogs are welcome!

    I am so in awe over this place. My partner heard about it over conversation from some really cool…read morecustomers at her work, and decided to suprise me! Wayde (I hope thats spelled correctly) was so sweet when we walked in and gave us the run down and made some great suggestions. If you plan on sitting down to eat, I highly recommend getting there early because seating is limited but also its a great spot to grab and go to the beach! We got the DBL (as first timers) with the beef fat fries. The flavor profile and portions are SOOO worth it. Be wise and come to The Wise Ox

    our DRY-AGED BURGERS (havarti, bacon, mustard, mayo, and house-made pickles) weren't just dry-aged,…read morethey were drier than old boot leather. I get that smash burgers are all the rage these days, but if a burger patty spends as much time on the second side as it did on the first, it's not crustified; it's as tough and juiceless as jerky. an abundance of aging primals are on display at the WISE OX. when they're cut into steaks, the trimmings are ground for burgers. a not-particularly-wise cow died for our sins (so said the family's vegan son who begged off lunch). honor that and cook the meat properly. to not do so is beyond sacrilegious. if I told the meat cutter (aka the "butcher") I was going to use the dry-aged Rib Eyes or New Yorks he'd just carved up to make jerky, he'd be horrified. so, why isn't he raging at the guy on the grill doing that to our burgers? the BEEF FAT FRIES (aka Tallow Fried Fries) still have great flavor, but are still way, way, way too salty. check the photo, and count the visible salt crystals if your cardiologist's on speed dial.
