I think they offer combos but I didn't see that on the menu. They offer a few common pairings as sides: fries, onion rings, tots, and fried pickles. The large is a shareable size. Everything is made to order. They bring the orders out to your table. It's nothing extra special but it's a good lunch spot if you're craving a burger. Be prepared to park in the UAB parking deck.

My cheese fries had barely a tablespoon of cheese on them and were cold & salty not crisp. Sauces weren't good. But I have enough food to last me three meals. It all cost about $30 with delivery so I'm okay. Was hoping for it to taste like a Jack Brown burger and Zaxby's tenders. They're the great value Temu SHEIN version.

I enjoy the Teriyaki Chicken/Broccoli rice bowl, and then for my second option the chicken tikka masala soup. It comes with a baguette that is usually toasted. The loaded lemonades and teas are also pretty darn good, esp if you have the SIP Club! The Sip Club is something I got during their free for a few months period, and I enjoyed it! The pastries are always good, and usually hot. The best bagels are the Asiago Cheese bagels with cream cheese. SO good! I used to get them when I was a young teenager, and the love has carried on! It's been several years of enjoying these bagels and I always think they are delicious. I have had the meal I listed about a couple times, and it's fairly pricey but very filling. The prices are a little confusing as you may think you're paying for a "Pick two" when you *are* but you're also getting upcharged the meal of choice, so it's a tad confusing. The second time I went and got this meal, the manager at the front tried to talk me out of getting the Chicken Tikka Masala soup as I enjoyed it before, but she thought the Chicken and Wild Rice soup is better, and asked "well, have you tried the masala?" I said yes, that's what I want. I appreciated her honesty, but I didn't ask for the opinion of which one was preferable. I think that this was a bit odd. But otherwise, i enjoyed my visit at this location. it's in a really good part of town, in the middle of a very family oriented location. i will definitely be returning.

I searched two other Urban Cookhouse restaurants to ensure I find THE ONE, so they would each know that this particular establishment deserves kudos! There was a choice between steak and chicken lunch with rice, salad, and cinnamon roll for dessert. Although I surely thought the grilled chicken was tender, well-seasoned, and simply delicious, those who chose steak made comparable compliments. My husband, friends, and I must become guests of this Urban Cookhouse. We did not know what we were missing. Kudos to the cooks, meal preparers, as well as the transporters and servers who sponsored these meals--RENEW BIRMINGHAM, for a grand beginning of our TEACHER APPRECIATION WEEK at Minor Elementary School!

Let me start with the good for my Metro Diner pick up order (placed one online and one through…read moreDoorDash): Order was ready on time The hostess in the bright green shirt at the front was very friendly and assisted me quickly Chicken tenders, creole mustard, green beans and fries were the star of the show today. I haven't had their chicken tenders before, but now realize I prefer it over the standard fried chicken solely because the flavor profile is better (more seasoned). I would order this again. Salad for my steak tips was as expected. I also redeemed a birthday reward for the chocolate cake. The bite I took was pretty good and it is easily a sharable portion size. Now for the not so good... My order through metro diners website consisted of steak tips, mash&gravy, garden salad with ranch. I personally would not order this again. Issue: The steak was chewy, flavor was bland and portion size seemed small for the value. My DoorDash order consisted of 1. Bissell breakfast with pancakes, scrambled eggs, cheese grits, bacon and a biscuit. 2. Small sausage gravy side 3. Chicken tenders plate with creole mustard, green beans and French fries. Issue: I quickly glanced through the see through lid of the boxes and noticed toast instead of a biscuit and no container that would have had the cheese grits. Went inside to notify the team and expo of missing items (also brought the bag back in). The expo called for these missing items from the kitchen. The cook glanced and then asked if he had a ticket for that? I managed restaurants for years so I get it when the kitchen asks this, however, the ticket was the one you made incorrectly and the expo did not check for correctness. The expo also stated "it is for a DoorDash order that she said is wrong". I'm happy this was a personal order because I got to see firsthand how it appears DD order issues are dismissed since they seemed to assume I was a driver. At least that is how the short exchange presented. They weren't rude it was the tone and lack of apology for my missing items. Mistakes happen. How you respond to and handle them matters. Fast forward - I get home and realize they must have simply switched my order with someone else's. There were hash browns with cheese and diced tomatoes and scrambled eggs with cheese. Was not my order and could not eat this order. The pancakes were just okay. Tried the sausage gravy with the biscuit. Not something I would get again but this part isn't a reflection of Metro Diner. Ordered this just to try it since many rave about this southern combo. Let's just say there will be more for everyone else to enjoy.

While this was a good stop in the past it is now on the "never stop" list that I keep. There was no ambiance, only a need for me to leave so they could close.
