"Urban Smoke is for people who consider themselves “grown and sexy.” The Upper Kirby restaurant feels exclusive—there are only a handful of tables, and each one is dedicated to people eating fried catfish while listening to a live band. But when the band isn't playing, expect the DJ to spin smooth ‘90s R&B loud enough to make you sway in your seat but quiet enough to hear your thoughts. Come here when you want to experience Jodeci over a Cuban or just need an Old Fashioned with a fried catfish plate." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
