    Grilled BBQ Pork Ribs
    William H.

    TLDR - 5/5 for the ribs only, 3/5 for the steak. Shockingly good ribs... had to commend them. My girlfriend asked me to take her to urban plates and I was rolling my eyes because I've had it in college in San Diego where it is basically upscale quick service food, not quite sit down not quite fast food. But let me tell you how shocked I was when I tried their bbq ribs. I literally had my jaw drop when I tried pulling apart the first rib and the entire bone almost came clean off. The meat was juicy, tender, and had the right amount of fat and seasoning. hot take but I swear these ribs were better than some places I've been that specialized in bbq.. I enjoyed my ribs so much I went into flow state and ignored my girlfriend who offered me some of her food. I eventually tried some of her chimichurri steak and yeah... it was mid just like I remember in college. Not bad, serviceable.

    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Christina S.

    I really enjoyed this place and it was on a whim that we stopped by to check it out. We spent the day in Santana Row shopping and my kids wanted something to eat. My daughters chose this place after visiting the other restaurants nearby and peeping menus. This one appealed to them so we went inside. We waited in line to order and then took our number to find a booth to sit at. Service was quick and our food arrived shortly after. The salad was so good with a mixture golden and red beets. My son finished his whole bowl of the chicken tortilla soup. Both my daughters devoured their bacon cheeseburgers with fries. My husband sipped on the cantaloupe mango drink and said it was refreshing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside it was comfy with booths and tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean atmosphere and nice servers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will come back again!

    Grilled steak with brussels sprouts, quinoa, and truffle aioli (bottom) + glazed tofu with sesame broccolini and mushrooms (top)
    Yuki K.

    Service was fast - we ordered, found a table, and the food came within 10 minutes. The sides were flavorful and well-made but the proteins were a bit disappointing. The steak I ordered took a while to chew through and the chili glazed tofu (vegetarian) my mom ordered was just a firm block that might not have been marinated for long enough. I'd probably just get a sides plate next time or try the beef braise soup.

    Grilled Steak Salad as it came from the restaurant.
    Stacy C.

    Had a grilled steak salad delivered for lunch. In the picture of the salad on the DoorDash menu, the steak looks nicely cooked medium rare. When I received my salad, most of the pieces were well-done with a few medium. It was disappointing. There is an option to select well-done when ordering, but I didn't select it. The salad itself was pretty unexciting, too, with just mixed greens and coconut roasted cashews. That was partly my fault because I had them hold the mango salsa and jicama. I added red onions and avocado from my own kitchen and that helped liven it up. I also discovered if I dipped the steak in the salad dressing it tasted better. The salad dressing was honey Dijon, but it tasted more like thousand island. That's okay, I like thousand island. The best part of the salad was the coconut roasted cashews. Wow, they were delicious. I don't think I'll order that again for delivery. If I have it again, it will be in person so I can send it back if the steak is well-done. DoorDash gave me a partial refund this time.

    My lunch: Seared Wild Ahi Tuna (well done)
    Kay O.

    This was my first time at this particular urban plates at Santana Road. I've been to the one in Sunnyvale a handful of time. All I really wanted was hummingbird cake and some coffee but I knew I needed something more substantial for lunch. Lol so I got the Aji seared tuna and had it well done. I got a side of mushrooms and country potatoes. To my surprise the country Potatoes had blue as well as Yukon gold and regular potatoes in the mixture! Wow! I was very impressed!! The server was incredibly polite with us since my girlfriend and I were meeting up after not hanging out for two years and we couldn't figure out what we wanted! Once we got our food, everything tasted delicious and my girlfriends like their salad and sandwich sandwiches. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience was very open and friendly. Everything was clean and very well organized![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't mind coming back here again for lunch. I definitely loved the hummingbird cake as well as the giant slice they gave me!! Needless to say I ate the whole hummingbird cake and took my lunch to go. Lol.

    Grilled chicken plate
    Da Kat A.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is spacious with many tables. There are seating outside the restaurant as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. Came here for a late lunch with a friend. There was no line, however, the two workers at the front just ignored us while they were busy working behind the counter. We waited for about 10 mins before someone acknowledged us and asked if we were ready to order. Not good customer service to begin with. We ordered the Grilled Chicken plate (with chimichurrii sauce) and the Roasted Barramundi Seabass plate. The grilled chicken is moist and the chimichurri sauce is very good. For the harrisa lime cauliflower, it's a bit too salty and too much lime. The roasted brussel sprouts with balsamic glaze is pretty good. My friend said the roasted barramundi seabass is good but the rainbow carrots and golden beets side dish is greasy. It's pretty pricey for the portion size. For adding a side of protein to a salad (that doesn't come with any protein) such as grilled chicken, it's another $10 that is expensive. The price you pay is like eating at a full service restaurant.

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak
    Maritza O.

    I ordered it on DoorDash and I'm so incredibly impressed. The food was amazing, everything was flavorful, and tasted healthy too. The quality was amazing. I will definitely be getting again.

    Amanda V.

    Very slow service to order, even when other people were not ahead of me and I visited in between peak lunch and dinner hours. That said, the kitchen was quick to bring our food out once we sat down. Menu had a great variety of items. Everything we ate tasted fresh and well seasoned. I would come back!

    Steak
    Teresa N.

    The steaks are yummy but portions are small, don't forget to get chimichurri because it's adds a lot of flavors to the steaks. Healthy plates!

    Turkey Avocado Club Sandwich
    Aashrith B.

    Very hearty and healthy tasting food. I could tell the ingredients are fresh, and the wait time was not bad at all coming for a lunch on a random weekday. I got the half and half, and especially liked the turkey avocado melt. My only gripe is that portion sizes are a little small, so if you want something filling, maybe order a different menu item.

    Grilled Grass Fed Steak Sandwich
    Michelle N.

    Came with friends on a Wednesday around 7:30pm and we were able to place our orders right away at the front. Urban Plates is located in Santana Row among many other food spots, and parking was easy to find in one of the nearby garages. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Despite how lively Santana Row usually is, Urban Plates felt quiet and chill as soon as we walked in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space was clean, spacious, and warmly lit, which made it a comfortable place to dine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu offers a wide variety of options, including soups and salads, American-style plates and bowls, and sandwiches. There's also a cute display of desserts at the front. I ordered: the Grilled Grass-Fed Steak Sandwich: steak was cooked nicely, well-seasoned, and served with perfectly toasted bread and chips on the side. Nothing fancy, but clean, good, and simple. Overall, Urban Plates is a solid spot for a relaxed, no-frills meal at Santana Row.

    Menu - Nov 2025
    Maribel M.

    Tried Urban Plates take-out when planning a movie night, glad to find a new solid option! * Location: Indoor & outdoor seating, order at cashier firsr or place your mobile order. Restaurant is in Santana Row, pick parking garage of your choice for easy access. * Online order was easy, pick-up was super fast & efficient. Food was packaged very practically (ex: fries in a sealed box to keep them crispy). We tried the tomato soup, portobello mushroom sandwich, & chicken tenders. All fresh-tasting (nothing too heavy or greasy), good flavors, & solid meals without tasting like fast food. Looking forward to trying more dishes next time!

    Turkey Family Meal and two pie slices
    Maria L.

    Came to pick up our pre-ordered Turkey Family Meal yesterday. We got it once the year before from a different location and liked it a lot. While I enjoyed cooking for my family last Thanksgiving, I missed how much more relaxed it was when someone else did the cooking and I could spend more time with my family doing other things. We had ordered Thanksgiving meals from a number of other places over the years, but they would all require re-heating. It's a no-brainer to order from Urban Plates again this year as their meal was hot and ready to eat and it would be just for 3 adults. Price of the family meal had only increased slightly compared to 2 years ago (about $118 after surcharge and tax). I placed a separate order for two slices of pie to be picked up at the same time, too. Street parking was easy a little before 6:30pm. There was no line for pickup and the food (one big bag for the family meal, and one small bag for the pie slices) were already on a table near the back inside the restaurant. The bags were clearly marked with my name. The food smelled really good in the car, and was still warm when we got home. The turkey breast was moist, the Brussel sprouts were really tasty, and not bitter at all. The mashed potato was not bad. The bread and the stuffing were a little brand, though. Adding gravy to them did help, fortunately. We had enough leftover for another person as the meal was supposed to serve 4. We warmed up the apple pie slice, and shared it with ice cream. A perfect sweet ending to our meal. We're too full to even try the pumpkin pie slice, and had to save it for another day. I would consider ordering a Thanksgiving meal from Urban Plates again for the convenience.

I thought some dishes were great; the wagyu burger was decadent. Other dishes were not that special. The scallops didn't taste too fresh (likely frozen) and combining them with hummus didn't quite work. The side of bread was practically insulting. $5 for stale table bread was a surprise. Dishes arrived very late; we were nearly forgotten when we tried to order, and then after ordering, we waited 40 minutes between appetizers and the main course. Not because they were cooking it; they just forgot we were there and when they brought out the dishes, the scallops were no longer just-cooked, and the burger had been sitting for a bit. No apology, just an acknowledgment it was late, and no discount (not even on the stale bread). They offered us wine, we said we didn't drink, and they just moved on. I debated a lot about how to review this. It's my personal experience that was disappointing, and I'm glad some reviews are very upbeat.

My only complaint was the steak. I ordered it medium rare, but it came out medium well, a bit dry and was tougher than expected, making it difficult to cut. It was still tasty--just not cooked quite the way I was hoping. The mimosas were good too, a great value. Nothing that really stood out as amazing, but definitely nothing bad about them either--they got the job done. What really elevated the experience was the service. Our server Rebecca was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, and incredibly quick throughout the meal. They checked in at the right times, answered our questions confidently, and made us feel well taken care of without ever being overbearing. Overall, I'd come back, especially to sit on the patio again. With a more tender steak, this meal would've easily been an 8.5 or 9 out of 10!! :)

    Hey there party People…read more Decided to venture into Willow Glen today on the hunt for something new to try. Boy howdy did we hit the Mother Load with "The Table". We hit the Brunch hour and the place was rocking. We were able to sit right down amazingly. There is a fabulous patio to people watch and enjoy the California weather. Our server Charles was really great. He walked us through the menu giving us the 911 on watch to order. Most of the plates were perfect shareable bites. Making it easy to try multiple plates and really get your inner Foodie on. We started with the Seasonal Banana Pancakes with crushed walnuts and cinnamon maple syrup. Inside the pancakes were fresh bananas and the walnuts were crushed very small but added a great texture. Moving on to the Chicago Steak sandwich don't get confused but in Chicago they refer to Roast Beef as steak. The Au Jus dip was very flavorful without being a salt bomb. Loved the potato roll they used all round a killer sandwich. Going a little outside the box we tried the Jerk Chicken Sandwich. The pineapple slaw with this amazing peppery chutney type sauce played so well with the acid of the pineapple. Another must have sandwich. I ask you how can you go to a new restaurant and not have some dessert. With everything else being so good our expectations were pretty high and we were not disappointed. The Giant Profiterole is exactly that GIANT and stuffed with White Chocolate Gelato and Hot Chocolate Sauce that you can drizzle over the top. To fricken die for good. If you are in Willow Glen and you don't stop here you are missing out on something wonderful. Be kind to one another

    This joint is in a great location if you're hungry after a game/event at Levi's Stadium (or the SF…read moreBay Area Stadium if you're here for the World Cup lol). There's plenty of seating indoors, outdoors, and at the bar. They also have good amount of TVs for watching games. Unfortunately I thought the service and food here were ok. To drink, I got the On the Wagon mocktail which is basically a variation of a Moscow Mule. I really did like this mocktail. It was so refreshing. For the table, we ordered herb fries and chicken tinga nachos. The herb fries were good. Nothing special. The nachos were not my favorite. The serving was a good amount but it wasn't too flavorful.

    First, the outdoor space here was amazing. I think it would be perfect for a post work get…read moretogether. They had some outdoor activities like a large jenga and cornhole space. I came with a colleague for lunch, I ordered the birria tacos and she ordered the tinga chicken nachos. The birria had an interesting smoky sweet taste to it, so did the consume. Was not particularly a fan. The nachos were decent, chicken had good flavor, but there was something different about the cheese. The chips were prefect, they were nice and thin and crispy, not hard and crunchy like most places. Might come back for drinks, maybe try other things. Service was friendly.

    What a great find…read more -bucatini was phenomenal -aroncini such a pleasant surprise. Amazing taste profile. Just missing a tad of acid like an arugula side w a citrus vinaigrette -pork belly was sticky and fabulous -deviled eggs with roe had a great texture -crème brûlée was spot on. Cold with perfect burnt top and creamy inside.

    I am completely obsessed with Goodtime Bar. I can appreciate their unique selection of wine, as…read morethey focus on natural wine. Not my personal cup of tea, but they do also offer sake and a few beers also. The first time we went, we ordered the arancini, bucatini, and the heritage pork katsu. I am a big advocate for trying new things every time I go to a restaurant, but it was so good I ordered the same thing the second time I went. Arancini is flavored with Japanese curry with creamy fontina in the center topped off with kimchi mayo. Holy f. These quite literally put the traditional Italian ones to shame (sorry not sorry). Next was the bucatini. It had tom yum butter, lime, basil- all the fix ins of what you want from tom yum flavors with the luxuriousness added from the butter. It was sinful. Last and certainly not least, is the pork katsu. I cannot even remember the last time I ordered a pork katsu, but something told me to order it. Thank God I did, as it quite literally changed my life. If they ever take it off the menu I am not sure I would be OK. It is crispy and is swimming in this koji butter, but the key is that it is NOT greasy. I quite literally think about it all the time. To the point where I had it twice in a week. Service was great, bartenders are so friendly. The place is cute and vibrant. Keep in mind it is small- limited seating inside and a small patio outside. But so worth the wait. It aint called Goodtime for no reason!
