Urban American Kitchen

Went during mother's day and it was packed. However, because we had a reservation, we were seated right away at 11am. The place is not very big, so a reservation is the way to go. The food was really good, borderline great. Ordered biscuits and gravy; pancakes; bacon; salmon and potatoes; shrimp and grits. The potatoes are really good!

Nice ambiance. The decor was modern and it was clean. They had a pretty decent Happy Hour menu. My drink was good. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits. Others got the Lobster Mac n cheese, Pecan Crusted Chicken and the Urban Burger. Our appetizers were the Lobster Quesadillas (I was told they were really good) and the Baked Spinach Artichoke dip. The food was decent. No complaints. I like a bit more seasoning on my food, but It wasn't intolerable. For dessert, I got a slice of Carrot cake, which I didn't like. It didn't taste fresh, and it was a bit dry. Staff was really nice, our waitress was friendly and others helped out when needed. Would I recommend? Of course. They have a large menu with lots of options. Good Happy Hour selection and good atmosphere.

This was our first time here. Very delightful. I got the fettuccine alfredo with the pecan encrusted chicken. My sister got the buffalo chicken wrap. So many of the signature cocktails looked amazing. My sister tried the pineapple jalapeno margarita. And I had the spiked cafe de olla over ice...YUM. Our waiter was very helpful.

Tried this place for brunch and it was pretty good. I really enjoyed the chocolate beignets and peach mimosa carafe. My wife had the shrimp risotto and I had the country breakfast which were both good. Our waitress was very kind and attentive as well. We will be back to try their dinner.

Very nice staff. Good was OK. I felt like maybe they were short staffed but the people working were doing their best to keep up. We had the Houston Restaurant Weeks dinner menu. The potato and frizzled leek soup was delicious but presentation was lacking. There were no frizzled leeks. The shrimp avocado bites were a but bland...needed some acid and seasoning I think. The steak was tasty and so was the seafood pasta. The dessert is pictured and tasted just like it looks. I'd visit again but probably not for HRW.

Best salmon party I've had since my aunties, full of flaky salmon and lightly breaded. Also had fried zucchini sticks, they were plump and flash fried,not greasy. Ceviche was fresh and full of red fish and Squid. The poblano soup was lite and robustly seasoned. The roasted brussel sprouts are a must try! This was the first time I've had American food that was healthy AND delicious. Mad we just discovered this place!

Absolutely worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The staff is very unorganized and Aurora was absolutely terrible. We sat outside and had to go back inside to ask for menus and to order our food because no one ever came to check up on us. We were not provided any silverware nor were we given any napkins at any time. When we asked for the check we let Aurora know that one of our meals had this weird hard char like object but she said nothing so we asked for our check. She came back and just lightly tossed onto the table without a word and left. We used the app to pay to avoid any further interaction with them, but it’s safe to say that we did not enjoy our food, the service was bad, and money was not well spent.

Loved the food. Nice atmosphere. I had a meatloaf sandwich and green salad for lunch. Both were delicious. Prices were quite reasonable for the quality of food you get. I would highly recommend.
