Uptown Portobello Burger w/ slaw
Tommy D.

Had the Uptown Portobello Burger with Coleslaw and 4 tall Coors Lights. Highly recommend.

From the bar....
Pete R.

Seemed like 2 minutes after I ordered my local craft beer and gourmet burger, I overhear the guy around the corner order a double by specifically commenting that a 'single never fills him up'. Assuming this would be my fate, I was pleasantly surprised to find satisfaction in the Ruben-Patty Melt. The delicious corned beef made up for the 2nd patty and I enjoyed both it and the side salad, for a more than acceptable dinner experience. That said, I was disappointed by the single patty in and of itself, considering the level of worship the place was built on. It WAS small and over-cooked even for 'medium', such that I'll be leaning med-rare going forward. I am also only awarding 3-stars based on value because if you are going to charge over $10 for a burger outside of Chicago...it better be huge and/or unbelievably tasty and/or come with killer sides...and this was not that.

Slow service was the start to the day Menu items listed were also not available Told for example soup was off the menu until winter What they call a tall beer is silly It's nothing compared to other locations in area I was one of two patrons and I understand why

Bloody Mary, spicy, w side a ranch.

10/10, I looooove this place! Has not failed me. The menu has great selections that flow together so well. Our server this time was great, he had just started 3 days prior and did so awesome. I forgot his name but, shout out to you great job love! So first... don't call me crazy on this til you try it... ALWAYS here I start off with a Bloody Mary, and, hear me out, with a side of ranch! Their Bloodies consist of pickle, bacon, green olive, lime, celery, and cucumber. I take the toothpick full of these delicious add ons and dip it right in the ranch. It's like an appetizer in itself. So next I ordered the fried pickles, which came with a spicy-ish kind of ranch. Was delicious. I know you'd think "well the bloody mary has pickles in it already!" which, yes, they do. But i'm on a mission to try every appetizer from this place atleast once, so I went with the fried pickles. Last time was the onion rings w/ garlic dressing & ranch. Those were a freaking hit as well. Finally, off their special menu, I ordered the corned beef & cabbage. What an excellent decision this was. It was a PERFECT portion for 2 people because we split it. The corned beef was so tender n tasteful! Love this atmosphere here. The servers n patrons are all friendly and it's not too loud or crowded, but they do get busy and I totally see why. There's tvs everywhere too so you can watch your favorite sport while indulging in this delicious f*cking food! Lol. Definitely recommend, and if you try the bloody w/ ranch, let me know how you like it hehe (you're welcome for that idea because you won't regret it.) 10/10, can't wait for next time

As far as hotel restaurants go, this one's ambiance is great: big bar, quiet dining room, and large patio with a fire pit. The beer selection is decent, plenty of local brews on tap. However, we found the food mediocre and the mixed drinks were very, VERY weak. We probably will give this place another shot, but it definitely didn't WOW us.

The Chicken Caesar Salad and $2 Conway's Red Ale pint. (Happy Hour Special)
JK P.

Come see Mike at lunchtime, especially on Monday for a near perfect (it's a bit too large for one person to finish) Chicken Caesar Salad for $5.99. The craft beer of the day is $5 a pint or all beer is 1/2 price after 2:30pm. Huge big screen TVs, great smoke if you got em outdoor seating area with a view of nature.

Farm Fresh burger & onion rings. The rings were so good...

I specifically ordered their farm fresh burger, and, based on its name, it was really fresh.

Today we ordered a maple bacon milkshake, peanut butter milkshake, 1/4 pound grilled cheese burger on toast, 1/2 pound New Orleans burger and a shareable basket of parmesan truffle fries. Let's start with the positives, the shakes were well made and not overwhelmingly sweet and we liked that a lot. My husband's 1/2 pound burger seemed a little small and my grilled cheese burger said it would be on Texas toast but it seemed like it was sourdough bread and not really thick cut like Texas toast should be. I was looking forward to eating here because the pictures of the fries online looked long and thick cut, the basket of fries we got didn't look like that at all and lacked Parmesan cheese. The negative experience was the fact the water tasted weird. I took one sip and tasted a weird chemical taste but my husband and I didn't complain, we just paid and left. I don't know if it was the water or the cup but it definitely had a weird taste. Overall, the experience was ok. I think we had higher expectations seeing all the pictures online. The name of the place threw us both off because we thought it was a Latino owned burger joint with a Mexican twist but that wasn't the case at all.

We were excited to try Urban Kitchen, and it absolutely delivered…read more Right away, the decor stood out, unique without being over the top, warm, and inviting. The waitstaff was friendly, helpful, and genuinely attentive without hovering. We started with drinks: blueberry mojitos and sangria. Both were fantastic. The flavors were perfectly balanced, refreshing, and it was clear they were made with real care and attention, not just poured and sent out. For appetizers, we ordered the chips with guacamole and salsa. We weren't expecting the chips to come out hot and clearly fresh from the fryer, but wow, perfectly crisp with just the right amount of salt. The guacamole tasted fresh and clean, and the salsa had a great balance of heat and flavor without overpowering anything. I ordered the birria tacos, and they were outstanding. The meat was incredibly well seasoned, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell when food is prepared by someone who truly cares about what they're making, those kinds of flavors can't be faked. The Cobb salad was equally impressive: fresh ingredients, a perfect portion size, moist chicken, and a dressing that tied everything together beautifully. One of the nicest surprises was learning that Urban Kitchen supports the community through Meals on Wheels. It's always great to enjoy a meal knowing the restaurant gives back. The only downside? We live six hours away. That said, we will absolutely be back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!

So we tried it. Merichka's serves good food with good service in a non-fancy kind of restaurant. It has various dining areas and a small bar. The room we sat in was nondescript with not one decoration on the walls. The multiple ceiling fans were running so I froze all throughout dinner. I didn't get our server's name, but she provided good service and was engaging. She always came back to check on us. The other staff we encountered was thorough in delivering food and removing dirty plates. We started with cocktails, a bourbon neat for him and an old-fashioned for me. My husband enjoyed his bourbon, however my old-fashioned was Wisconsin style which I didn't enjoy. We shared the mushrooms as a starter - I have to admit they were perfection! The portion was generous and the crust was perfectly crispy without being greasy. I think we missed the boat, though, because we didn't order the onion rings, which looked sensational. Dinners come with a relish tray and a couple sides. The relish tray had cottage cheese, a bean salad and a pasta salad. Again, generous in size. My hubby had a steak with fried shrimp for dinner and his sides were a salad and twice baked potato. He ordered the steak rare because he didn't trust that it would be cooked to medium rare. He was right to go rare because it came out a little pink. I opted for the baked cod for dinner with a salad and twice baked potato. My cod was 12oz and was moist and flaky. I didn't even put a dent in my dinner because I was full from the mushrooms and relish tray. We ended up bringing most of our entrees home. I'm glad we tried this restaurant out, but honestly even though the food was decent, I didn't enjoy the bare bones atmosphere and being uncomfortable throughout dinner because the fans were on. If you like a supper club without the frills, I think you would like this place.
