The adult grilled cheese is more along the lines of a toasted sub sandwich with melted cheese. Just call it a cheese sandwich. I actually forgot what kind of bisque I was having because there was barely any substance in it (besides the green onions that I asked to have removed). Even without much crab nor lobster, the base was very salty and unfortunately couldn't be saved by its flavor either.

We were able to park easily and make our way into the restaurant with ease. There is ample outside and inside seating, however, know that the TVs are going to be on full blast, especially during football games! We ordered a chicken shawarma gyro with a side of roasted vegetablesThe Gyro (beef-lamb) with Mediterranean fries. My husband enjoyed The Gyro and would get it again. My chicken shawarma was just meh because it lacked any real seasoning/spice. The ingredients are quality but the flavor was not there for me. I enjoyed the roasted veggies which were interestingly well seasoned. Service was friendly and prompt. The ambience is college town vibes (7 tvs each blaringly loud). Decor was nice with plenty of windows with natural light, wood tables and comfortable chairs (no arms on any of them) and bar stools. 1 star deduction for lack of flavor in sandwich 1 star deduction for WAY too loud TVs (excessive) exacerbated by Kitchen sounds

A lot of times it seems it is made to be hot for hot sake, not necessary for great taste. With that out of the way, we came in for an early Sunday lunch. The staff was friendly but clearly still learning the ropes on the new place. I'm sure they will get better with time. Had the mild 5-piece tenders. The tenders were cooked well, juicy and had the right amount of heat and flavor. The beans were really good, but thought the slaw was a little too sour for my liking. Overall I thought the tenders and sides were a little small for the price. There is a bar which is unusual for a chicken place like this so that may appeal to some customers. It's an order at the counter place with a handful of high top tables. My biggest pet peeve about restaurants is when the floor is slippery from mopping with greasy water. Unfortunately that was the case here. It's a unique restaurant for downtown so I'm sure I'll try it again.

Very pleasant. Mom had the chicken salad with fruit and pasta. She said that it was good. I ordered the Mediterranean salad with a side order of falafel and tzatziki sauce.

My Mediterranean salad had candied pecans, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, purple, onions, chickpeas, lettuce with balsamic vinaigrette and a toasted piece of pita bread.. it was fresh and a nice combination.

If you know downtown Tuscaloosa, you know getting into Urban Bar & Kitchen usually requires…read morepatience--and a willingness to stand around waiting for the doors to open. But spring break week flipped the script in the best way possible. Tonight, my wife and I met up with some good friends for a pre-retirement dinner, and with the college crowd scattered to the beaches, downtown felt like it belonged to us "seasoned locals" again. No lines, no crowds--just a quick call ahead and we were seated within minutes. That alone felt like a win. We started things off with the fried green tomatoes--a true Southern delicacy and, let's be honest, acid reflux's favorite dance partner. Worth it? Absolutely. These were hot, crispy, and full of flavor. The kind of dish that would make Grandma nod in approval. No shortcuts, just done right. For the entrée, I went with the UBK Pasta--blackened chicken, sausage, and shrimp tossed with corkscrew pasta probably crafted in a cast iron skillet. It came out hot and packed with flavor, carrying just the right amount of spice to keep things interesting without overwhelming the dish. Exactly how I like it. My wife stuck with a proven winner: the shrimp & grits. She's had it before, and once again, it delivered. Consistency matters, and this dish continues to hit the mark every time. Now, not everything was quite as smooth. Our waitress wasn't exactly channeling that warm Southern hospitality you hope for. Let's just say she wasn't "Miss Dolly" serving smiles with a side of charm. The service leaned a bit on the impatient side--subtle (and not-so-subtle) hints that our time at the table was up, including clearing drinks before we were even finished. At one point I joked about going to the restroom but worried I might come back to find my chair gone. Still, when the food is this good, it carries the experience. Urban Bar & Kitchen continues to deliver where it matters most--on the plate. The atmosphere was relaxed thanks to spring break timing, the food was as strong as ever, and the company made it even better. As for the service... maybe she was just ready for her own spring break reunion. Happens to the best of us. Final takeaway: Go for the food--it's consistently excellent. And if you can catch a quieter night like this one, even better.
