Urban Cookhouse Birmingham Reviews
This place is incredible ! The delivery of the items was five minutes tops. The quality was amazing. They have all sorts of wonderful Vegetables! I had chicken salad too. I highly recommend- everyone friendly and place very clean.
This is a counter service restaurant. We were able to order lunch immediately. The food was delivered to the table very quickly. The ingredients are very high quality. The dishes are interesting combinations than typical fast casual. The house salad with grilled chicken was delicious. The chicken was well seasoned.
The food was Amazing! I had the Mandarin crunch chicken wrap with broccoli salad, it was so light and delicious! My dad had the chicken salad fruit plate and Oh My Goodness you won't believe how great this meal was, bonus-value to portion was incredible!! If you are looking for fresh meal this is the place!!
Absolutley delicious!! We try to find new to us, highly rated restaurants to try out once every couple of weeks, this definitely did not disappoint! We've actually been back 3 times since! The orange rolls are phenomenal, haven't had anything that has not been amazing! The crew is very knowledgeable about the menu items, and the atmosphere is great!
Try the Lime Marinated Steak and Rice. If you want to meet the nicest person, go by and say hello to Sky. She is the best!
This is a Saturday lunch ritual when daughter, wife and I are all in town. We all get the exact same item (Pick 2, grilled chicken sandwich and Pepper patch salad), and it's always great. They also have great tea. Highly recommend the place. Staff is very nice and helpful as well.
Always fresh ingredients, well prepared. My favorite is the local mix salad. We've eaten at two locations, and they're equally good.
I enjoy coming here because the food is always made fresh to order, and it taste fresh as well. The broccoli salad is my favorite side. The last couple of times it didn't have enough sauce mixed in it, but still good, and the cookhouse wrap is the best thing ever, full of different meats, lettuce, tomatoes, and a very tasty honey mustard vinegaret. The staff is always kind and helpful, especially Miguel. Thank you for making my lunches enjoyable.
OMG!! It’s like going home for a long lunch or early dinner after a short day at work on Friday. Perfect for a girlfriend brunch or intimate lunch with the hubs. I went solo for this first time visit and it impressed on site! I had the lime marinated steak with rice pilaf and salad. It was so good I ate the entire plate!! I NEVER do that!! Atmosphere is happy, bright, open, private, and cozy! Must do a sit down! It’s seriously like I went home and had lunch on the patio. Strawberry 🍓 sangria was perfectly crisp like the fall weather. Strawberry lemonade with half unsweetened tea…. Oh yeah! Definitely a great take away! And the orange sweet rolls… well everybody knows that’s the only reason I went to the place! Love love love ❤️ if I could do double stars I would!
My first time to eat here and I will definitely be back. David Snyder, the Manager and owner, is so friendly and accommodating. He went over and beyond to make sure I was a happy customer. The salads are beautiful; the fruit is fresh! I ordered from home and it was ready in 20 minutes! If you don’t feel like cooking on these hot days pick up a fruit salad or chicken salad from this local restaurant! Buy Local!!
Amazing food! I got the Berry Good salad and it was berry (I mean Very) good! My husband had the Urban Cowboy Sandwich and it was fantastic! My daughter had the grill cheese with ham and it was also very good! Great atmosphere and the employees were very nice and welcoming and helped us pick up our meals. We were very satisfied!
Always good but they forgot to give me an orange roll on my grilled chicken plate. They need to give you crackers if you order to-go chicken salad
Nice restaurant. You will spend about $12-13 for a plate and drink. I got the braised pork plate with the hot cheddar pasta, bread, and broccoli salad. The pasta was really good and cheesy. The servers were very friendly. It's by the federal reserve. It's cool because the bathroom entrance was the old vault. Indoor and outdoor seating available. The wait time for the food wasn't long at all; they got our food out within minutes.
Usually one of my favorite places but i got a Cubano sandwich from Ubereats today and it smells and tastes like ut was saturated with gasoline or lighter fluid not only that the orange rolls were very stale and the broccoli soup was half cooked broccoli puree with huge chunks of broccoli that were still raw.
Ordered take out here for dinner tonight - got home and my lime marinated steak was so tough and had a weird almost like starter fluid taste to it! I couldn’t eat it! The orange rolls that are usually nice and warm, was cold and barely had any orange flavor. I’ve been to other locations and never had any trouble with meals there!!
