So.. I've gotten the chance to visit Urban Burger twice in the space of two weeks, and every single item purchased got 10/10. The staff namely Danny was so welcoming, the atmosphere is warm and homey... the food makes you want to get everything on the menu. It is black owned and Ricot the owner gives amazing words of wisdom. It was such a great pleasure meeting him! So much positivity resides here!! You can see all the effort that has been put into creating an artistic and nostalgic mood with all the art (pictures, drawings, wall of cassettes, graffiti filled bathroom where you can leave your tag). There are even games that you can play .. and put down your phones for a bit. I have honestly been recommending Urban Burger to everyone possible because it is definitely worth it. You won't regret it at all!! I really could go on and on about my experience but go ahead and try it for yourself!! By the way it is BYOB Slap your mama wings 10/10 Thai Chili wings 10/10 Fries 10/10 Ladder 31 burger 10/10 Biggie Smalls 10/10 Oreo shake 10/10 Fruity Pebbles shake 10/10 Salty Pretzel in Caramel shake 10/10 Almond Joy shake 10/10 mozzarella sticks 10/10 Loaded tater tots 10/10

Actually really enjoyed this place. FOOD BUSSED DOWN. More of a takeout spot, but you are more than free to sit down and they bring you your items after you pay at the counter.

Great food, great prices, and an even better vibe! Spent a day here with my adult children and everything was perfect. Highly recommend checking out Urban Burger!

Everything was very good. The service was great. I ordered a single patty urban burger, fried pickles, and a chocolate milkshake. My only criticism of the food was that the fried pickles were extremely hot and I had to wait until I was done with my burger to start eating them. Uniquely, they were thicker than other fried pickles I’ve had and they were still very delicious once cooled down.

My friends and I decided to visit Urban Burger out of curiosity and we did not regret it at all. The atmosphere was warm and homey. We were too distracted by the Basquiat film playing and the board games to pick up our phones which goes to show how impeccable the ambiance of the environment was. The music was great selection after great selection. Danny, our server, was so kind and welcoming. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner who was wonderful and took the time to get to know us and tell us the story behind Urban Burger. He made us feel welcomed and inspired us all by his words, passion, and creativity. The food was delicious and the ‘Slap Ya Mama’ wings were the best wings we had in a while. My friends had no leftovers to take home because it was that good! The details, artwork, and decoration of the space was intentional and beautiful. The artwork alone sparked a conversation amongst us. I recommend trying the ‘Biggie Smalls’ burger or ‘Slap Ya Mama’ wings if you’re a first timer. There are vegan options as well which we’ll be back to try. Thank you Rico, Danny, and the cook for your hospitality and kindness!

I had a great time. My urban burger was so good. I tasted my bestie’s onion rings which were great and I didn’t get a picture of my sriracha wings. It was busy because of the house music block party but the owners were friendly and so nice. They made sure they walked around and checked in with everyone. Can’t wait to drive back up!
