    Nice wine selection
    Petra F.

    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!

    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.

    Chimichurri steak, steak plate, asparagus, Mac and cheese, roasted marble potatoes, carrots & golden beets, and garlic roast mushrooms.

    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.

    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.

    Kids Grilled Grass Fed Steak
    Viv H.

    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.

    Seared Wild Ahi Tuna

    Ordered seared AHI tuna mmm. It was easy for my mom to order. We're with a pretty big group. My niece just had her graduation downtown at the memorial auditorium. She's going to go away to school in Ohio.

    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!

    Sustainable salmon plate
    Arleen S.

    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.

    The ambiance
    Karen A.

    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!

    Braided beef with curry rice.
    Silvia S.

    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.

    Looking industrial...
    Arnel S.

    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!

    Paula C.

    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.

    Chimichurri Grass Fed Steak
    Amber N.

    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.

Now with only two people taking orders and making drinks during the lunch rush, the line and wait times are much longer. We ordered pizza and fries and I could see them sitting by the kitchen for about 10 minutes before they were brought to us, so they arrived barely warm. I also ordered two sides of their house-made ranch (which cost extra) but only received one. When I asked a server about the second ranch I had already paid for, she brushed me off with attitude. I had to ask multiple times and wait another 10+ minutes just to get something we were already charged for. Overall the service felt disorganized and slow. Unfortunately I won't be returning to this location anytime soon.

You can tell the kitchen really knows what they're doing. The only issue we experienced was with our server's understanding of the menu. When she explained the specials, the description wasn't even close to what was actually served. For example, she described one dish as a half chicken with tomatoes, cucumbers, and balsamic, but when it arrived it didn't include any of those things. We also asked several questions about the menu and ingredients, and she seemed pretty confused and wasn't able to give clear answers. I normally don't like leaving anything negative in a review because the food truly was fantastic. My only suggestion would be for the staff to become a little more familiar with the menu and the specials so they can confidently explain dishes to guests. Overall, incredible food, but a little more menu training for the staff would make the experience even better. I would definitely come back for the food.
