I absolutely love Urban Plates! Everytime I go, it is so quick and effective. Their menu has plenty of options to choose from. You don't even have to talk to anyone if you don't want to. I recently had their Caesar Salad rap and chicken tender plate. Both tasted amazing, were full of flavor and are well-balanced meals. The fact that you can choose which sides you want makes this place even more exciting. I appreciate a place that allows you to expand your palate if desired! The flavors and quality remind me of a good home cooked meal. Overall, it is such a chill spot to grab a quality, sustainable meal, that you know is going to come out fast and taste good. read more

Urban Plates is in a great location and was the perfect spot for lunch with my son on a Saturday afternoon. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was excellent, with a wide variety of selections to choose from. I really liked the modern setup--you can either order directly from the staff at the walk-up counter or use the electronic ordering kiosks, which makes the process quick and convenient. My son ordered the Surf & Turf, which was absolutely delicious, and I had an amazing Caesar salad with chicken that was fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. Located near Sacramento State with plenty of parking in a newer shopping center, it's an easy and convenient place to visit. Great food, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

I may be wrong, but: Noticed that urban plates charges a 1.5% surcharge, and I think the sales tax includes the surcharge amount. The tip amount, if based upon a percentage, includes the cost of food ordered, the surcharge, and sales tax. In the past, the tip was only based upon the food order. Why should the tip be based upon the sales tax? read more

This is Multiple Reviews for this Establishment, I am Platinum Pass Holder at the restaurant and today I was sent the: Grilled Grass Fed Steak Sandwich. Why Most of my reviews are 5 star on Everything I ate here, today was below average and if I am going to give credit for all the good things then i am going to tell the bad too, the Chef who made the steak should be ashamed of himself for sending this out, it wasn't not horrid but wasn't up to the (standards) that I have for the Restaurant. Just throw it up too a bad night , but shame on the Chef and Urban Plates in Sacramento/Arden area. You can follow me im sure I will be Posting more like I said 9 out of 10 times its always 5 stars.

We visited Urban Plates for the first time last week. We had dinner there with my mother-in-law. She was happy they had a half sandwich- half salad option because she does not eat as much these days. The food was fresh and had good flavor! They remind me of Jack's Urban Eats and not just because of the name, but in that they're both fast-casual and have a lot of options to appeal to everyone. It's a pretty open, comfortable space. Order at the counter or kiosk and they will bring your food out to you. Water and utensils are self served. Overall it was a good dining experience. I wasn't blown away by the food, but it was good a meal. read more

Busy day today so we just ordered delivery from Urban Plates (via Door Dash). The foods were good, just on the cold side. It's okay because it's 57 degrees when the food arrived. The Chimichurri Grass Fed Steak Plate and Steak plate were very good. The meats were very tender, soft and airy. So easy to eat even for people without teeth!!! We have asparagus, Mac and cheese, herbs roasted marble/petite potatoes, rainbow carrots and golden beets, and garlic Parmesan roast mushrooms as our sides. The petite potatoes were the best, especially the purple potatoes. They were perfectly salted. But I didn't care for the Mac and cheese. It tasted weird. Overall, we enjoyed the dinners. read more

I can't tell whether I enjoyed the food more or this handsome guy named Rico who made the experience that much better! This was our first time coming here and we can easily say this won't be our last. The location is beautifully managed and I love the layout inside. I ordered their Crispy Onion Burger, solid 4/5! The burger was delicious and very fresh on the ingredients, my only thing was wishing the fries were a bit crispy instead of soft. I had their Coconut Pineapple Lime Refresher, my goodness it was a 5/5! Super light and not overly sweet at all, even got a second one. My lady ordered the Garlic Shrimp with Parmesan Butter, sides with Rainbow carrots & yellow beets, and mashed organic potatoes. Such a flavorful plate, felt like I was eating a dish made at home. Solid 4.5/5. Overall, it was the perfect first time experience. The food, atmosphere & service were all top tier. Thank you RICO! He was very attentive and thoughtful, look forward to seeing you again. read more

I enjoy their menu options, but my last experience had me feeling like I'd rather go elsewhere for the price point. Kids steak - half of the steak pieces were cold and well done and the other half were still medium rare. Seemed like they gave me leftovers of another order and also tasted unseasoned. I'm also pretty lenient with service workers, but the first employee rudely told me where to get my online order; cashier wouldn't acknowledge me and another online order customer for a good 5+ minutes and then the first employee had me waiting again even though my bag was ready for pick up since I arrived. The restaurant was definitely not busy enough to warrant all this. read more

My husband said this place was good, so I decided to try it. We looked at the menu displayed in front of the entrance, and I ended up being drawn to the niçoise salad (thanks to the movie White Chicks). Finally went in and ordered with no issues, and grabbed our utensils and water. We were able to find a table for 4 fairly easily, and the tables didn't feel too crowded. Loved the open kitchen, and the high ceilings just helped the place feel less stuffy. Food didn't take long at all, and my niçoise salad was very flavorful. I personally enjoyed the acidity and other sharp tastes brought by the dressing and the niçoise olives. The hard-boiled egg helped balance it out slightly, but I can see this dish being a bit overpowering if you want something mellow. My ahi tuna was delicious as well, but I wouldn't have minded it being less cooked. Prices here seem standard for the portion sizes, and the staff seemed genuinely eager to take away any plates and help clear the table. Would come back for sure! read more

Popped in on a Saturday afternoon. The parking lot LOOKS busy, but the restaurant itself was maybe 2/3 full. It was a little difficult to get a table at first because they don't seem to have any busboys to clear up the tables, so it was mostly the front servers cleaning up, which slowed things down since they would be stuck taking orders at times. The inside itself was nice. The decoration reminded me of another bar-type restaurant I tried, but it was well decorated with a nice open windows to bring in a lot of light. The food to me was just a 7/10. Nothing screams out at me or makes me feel like I'd have to have it again, aside from their desserts. My mom had seabass plate while my brother had the chimichurri steak plate. The fish came out super tiny, while the sides definitely overtook the fish. My brother mentioned the steak was just fine. Dad had the sustainable salmon and felt the fish was a little dry. While their plates SOUND good on paper, the execution left a lot to the imagination, so we probably won't be back again soon. read more

We stopped for lunch at Urban plates after riding on the American River trail. We really enjoyed our meal there. And the menu selections were unique and interesting. They had a really nice dining area as well as an outdoor patio with fire tables. I ordered a burger and fries and hubs ordered a blue cheese steak sandwich with chips. Our food was fresh and tasty. We commented that we would return to this place again. It was quite crowded and I think they are not going to have trouble staying in business! read more

It's a nice place. Now the food was just ok. We ordered a cheeseburger with crispy onions started to think it was tasty but about 10 minutes into the meal my stomach was not having it. The fries were tasty; we also tried the braised beef that my friend had rice with it. The broth that the beef was in was tasty and tender with potatoes and carrots, the rice was curry rice but we did not care for it. Should have done the mashed potatoes instead. For dessert we shared a cowgirl (oatmeal) cookie that was a flat not very big cookie expensive but was good. The place is clean. Service was good you place your order at the counter then pick your table they bring your items. read more

The food here was great and full of flavour, not to mention well-prepared and carefully presented. We always ordered from here through delivery, so the one time we passed by and on a lunchtime, we took the detour to try out the place. And it did not disappoint! Your orders can be placed through the order counter. Service was friendly and efficient. The staff of the counter was kind enough to ask you and fill in the blanks with your order that you may have missed. Ulises(?) was the most helpful and prominent staff member of the place. When he wasn't manning the order counter, he was busy clearing out the tables! And he also followed up with any refills or other items we needed. The place was nice and clean. And the decor felt a bit on the industrial look...without losing the inviting feel. And the price is reasonable, given the taste, presentation and quantity. Give Urban Plates a try if you're in the area! read more

We love Urban Plates and eat here almost twice a week. The dragon fruit strawberry drink is one of our favorites. The burgers are really good--sometimes they come out a bit overcooked when we ask for medium, but they've never had a problem replacing it, which we really appreciate. The salad with ahi tuna and the steak chimichurri were both delicious. The Moroccan chicken was okay--pretty basic and could use more flavor--but still decent. Overall, the service is great, the ambience is chill, and the experience is always positive. We love it, and the kids love it too. Would be back for more. Thank you! Highly recommended if you're looking for healthy alternatives. read more

It my first time coming here because my boyfriend said he likes going to the SoCal locations. They have a wide menu of different options which is pretty cool. When you walk in you can order at the kiosk or at the counter. We got the grass fed steak and the surf and turf with two sides. We also ordered a root beer and an Arnold Palmer drink. They served our food first but our drinks didn't come out so we had to ask them about it. My drink was unsweetened tea which was okay. The steaks were not medium rare like it says on the menu. They were well done that was a little disappointing. We sat outside because it was a nice day and they had plenty of both indoor and outdoor seating. I would like to try their other items on the menu. read more

I originally came to Urban Plates shortly after they first opened and, to be honest, I left a review back then that wasn't the best. Opening a new restaurant comes with growing pains, though, and I believe in giving places a fair shot once they've had time to settle in. Today, a couple of friends invited me out to lunch and chose Urban Plates, so I decided to give it another go--and I'm glad I did. I feel like this visit gave me a much more accurate picture of the restaurant. I ordered using the kiosk, which I absolutely love. The process was easy and convenient, and my food came out quickly, warm, and fresh. We ordered the chicken Caesar wrap with a side of French fries, and everything was absolutely delicious. The fries were some of the best I've ever had--perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and crispy. The wrap was flavorful, filling, and satisfying, and I especially loved that they left the croutons inside. I'm a sucker for mixed textures, and that crunch really made the wrap for me. The staff also deserves a shout-out. They checked on us several times to make sure we had everything we needed, which made the experience even better. Urban Plates also has a large menu with tons of options, which I appreciate. One of my favorite things--especially since I'm on a weight-loss journey--is that they list calorie counts throughout the menu. Calories are king for me, and having that information readily available makes it so much easier to choose something that fits within my daily budget. I can confidently say I'll be back. If you're in the area, I definitely recommend giving Urban Plates a whirl. read more

First time in and found it a bit confusing. There was a cashier but she didn't acknowledge us, finally another patron explained we could order at counter or use kiosk. We chose the counter and decided on blackened salmon, mashed potatoes and beet salad. Decent size serving of salmon though a bit overcooked, beet salad was one color beets served in ramekin with pearls of goat cheese. Everything lukewarm. The other plate consisted of grilled shrimp, yellow rice (very large portion) and beet salad. They do add a 3% surcharge for CA benefits, noted on menu. read more

Food:**** Service:**** Ambiance:**** FIRST TIMER place is clean n very roomy. You have an option to use self order kiosk or line up at counter. We ordered n place number on our table. Patty and crew were amazing. Food came out fast. Crew was attentive to ask if we needed anything else. Self serve water n other condiments like ketchup n hot sauces. For not being a burger place, we had to try their burgers. So good cooked medium rare n juicy. Also ordered spicy chicken sandwich, a salmon n broccoli with a side of beet salad. All was so fresh and I fell in love with the beet salad with goat cheese. Since it was my bday celebration, Patty gave me a mango tart that was so good. Mango was crunchy not soggy. LOVE IT !!! We will definitely be a regular. Sign up in app for being a regular n get a discounted meal. read more

Arrived at around 5:30pm, and there were plenty of tables available. Customers trickled in and out. There were quite a few items on the menu to choose from. Placed an order for the seafood chowder and the chimichurri steak with the parmesan garlic mushrooms, and the recommended brussels sprouts. Steak cooked to either well or medium rare - I went with the medium rare. The soup, entree, and soda came out to about $36 (not including tip). Unfortunately, I was disappointed as the chowder and steak were quite bland and lacked flavor. There wasn't a whole lot of chimichurri added and the steak was tough. The brussels sprouts were ok. The mushrooms were also ok, but couldn't eat more than a few bites as they started to be a bit overpowering. Also a bit unappetizing as there was a pool of oil underneath it all. To me, the quality did not justify the price of the meal. Pros - the service was good in that he refilled my soda glass and cleared my table. read more

Love this place! So glad we have it in the Arden area now! Fresh, delicious food! Love that they serve wine and beer too! Haven't sat outside on their fireplace table, but that's pretty different for the Arden area! I've had the steak salad and the steak plate before -- both great! Love the hot sauces they provide there (ended up ordering them for the house). My husband enjoyed the steak blue cheese sandwich and we LOVED the truffle parm fries (must get those)!! They serve the fries with their truffle aioli -- magnificent! The service was good too. Although they do encourage ordering on the kiosk. read more

We gave this spot a second try and it was great! I gave the Mac and cheese another shot and this time it was much tastier and cheesier. My only complaint was that it was cold! Maybe the third times the charm?! Do yourself a favor and get the chicken tenders, they are humongous, juicy, and full of flavor. They are unlike any tender I've had, extremely fresh, a slight crunch, and great seasoning. I really liked how they were not very greasy for being fried in oil. The plate came with 3 and I was only able to eat 2. read more

This is a tough one. If it was just about quality of ingredients and simplicity of the meal, they'd be a 5/5. No question. It's great quality food. The place is nice clean, modern, if you like modern. Kiosk ordering will save you 5-10 minutes because the staff is in no rush. A common northern California problem I've found, lol. These places act like all we have is time. Anyway.. The food is GOOD, but my goodness: no seasoning, no "hearth", rigid lame presentation, stingy portions. It felt clinical, like a hospital. We went twice in one day (lunch and dinner) to see if maybe we just ordered wrong. It's totally possible and happens a lot if you get around. For lunch she got the salmon and quinoa plate and I got the chicken braise with rice and extra chicken. We also shared a salad. This was the saddest looking salad. Minimal amount of leaves. 2-3 little lost tomatoes. No dressing on the salad either which is weird. They said we didn't specify. Not exactly normal. The salmon was nice and neat, had a whiff of blackening seasoning...which is to say next to none. The quinoa had nothing going on. And was a presence 1/2 cup of lucky. Come on man. At least make me feel like I ordered something for lunch. No plate dressing. No seasoning. Nada. Just fish and quinoa thrown on a plate. The chicken braise was good but watery and not hot. No extra chicken was found. In fact, I was looking for any chicken at all. For dinner, we did the family meal ordering with chicken and steak. For that amount of money, we were extremely disappointed in the lack of amount of meat meant to serve four people. We had to go back and order more just so our party would actually each get a portion...typically the protein in a family style meal is supposed to be figured at 8 ounces per person. This might've been 2 ounces per person if we had not gone back to pay for more. Sides were plentiful, but completely absent of any seasoning. The brussels sprouts I took particular issue with as they were undercooked, and also the root portion was left on them, which is borderline inedible. The mac & cheese looked amazing, cavatappi pasta, but zero flavor I'm talking, not even salt and pepper. I would recommend this place to people who like very plain basic food, and who are watching their salt intake, perhaps they're looking for an easy lunch option in the area. But for me, there's just too much great food and the northern California area to waste another dime at this place. We spent almost $300 that day on this place and other than quality of ingredients, which I can source and cook myself, there's nothing here for me. Last option recommendation. Not bad. Just not good. read more

First visit, really liked the vibe, but the food was just ok. None of the food particularly stood out, and with comparable options in the surrounding vicinity, it felt like I could've had a better bang for my buck somewhere else. Additionally, our initial customer service was great with Joon and the ordering process, but once we sat down, we never were approached once by staff about our experience, despite them roaming around.On the bright side, the chocolate chip cookie is quite delicious. read more

5 for the place and the staff, 4 for the meal - that new grilled chicken stuff they're raving about is borderline inedible. Given the choice for dark meat, I took it, but, man, nobody has cleaned all the nasty fatty bits off of it. The menu also doesn't mention that garlic used in the marinade. I used the self-ordering kiosk today because the counter was swarmed with customers even though the staff was working both stations. It was intuitive and effective, so kudos to the team that designed and maintains that feature. I might go back, but I prefer the Davis location. read more

I really like Urban Plates for a few reasons. Good location, ample parking, and menu choices are healthy compared to a lot of the other food options in the area. It's not the cheapest place, but portions are generous and I've liked everything I have tried so far. I recommend the moroccan chicken braise, the salads, chicken plates, and the desserts. The most recent visit I got the teriyaki chicken plate with two sides (I picked pita and hummus, and sesame broccoli). It included a good amount of chicken, nicely flavored broccoli, slight crisp to the pita chips and the hummus was nice and smooth. The chocolate chip cookie is nicely chewy and the mango tart is so good! Lots of inside and patio seating. I will be back for sure. read more

We came on a Saturday afternoon. The location has inside and outside dinning. We have tried this restaurant in the bay area and it didn't disappoint so we wanted to try this Sacramento location. The staff was a little flabbergasted as their system wasn't working and they were confused and back and forth on what to do. We ended up doing self service kiosk. The turkey club was filling and tasty with plenty of crispy fries. Their agua frescas were refreshing and they gave us various refills. The burger is grass fed and super juicy and well seasoned. They gave one our dishes to the wrong table and had us wait a while but they apologized and comped us a slice of their hummingbird cake that was perfect for my very intense sweet tooth. Perfect spot for a quick lunch. read more

Went to Urban plate for the first time, tried the blackened salmon with beets and Hummus. The salmon was delicious, it was perfectly seasoned, cooked just right, and full of flavor. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite, and you can tell they put care into the quality of their dishes. The restaurant itself has a welcoming vibe with both indoor and outdoor seating options, which makes it great for any occasion. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, and the service was friendly and attentive.
