Urban Eats

The food was amazing. I got the French toast with the fried chicken. The combination made me hesitant however this is the best French toast I have had in a restaurant. The caramel syrup has to be drizzled because it is so thick- but it is amazing. The breading on the fried chicken is perfect. My husband ordered the chicken sandwiches and loved it. Our service was horrible- the waitress did not tend to our table. We watched a hostess make two blind people with walking canes get up and go back to the host stand just to seat them in the same place again. I think we must have had a bad waiter because everyone else in that section was sat and ate and left before us. It took over an hour to get our food for four people. HOWEVER- the food was amazing and I highly recommend it.

The food at urban eats was delicious!!! Their biscuits were so yummy! My friend and I were so shocked at how good it is. They have a full menu, so a lot of options to choose from. I sat downstairs at the cafe vs the restaurant upstairs and it was still very comfortable. The only thing is the service is so slow! The order took forever to come out (was worth the wait). The staff was very nice though.

The food and coffee made it a five star experience. The green goddess salad was excellent and the desserts are as tasty as they are beautiful. Downstairs is counter service with a cozy atmosphere among the groceries. Upstairs is table service with a full bar. There is outdoor seating on both levels. Service was not as good. We were seated way in the back corner even though there were many better tables available. Our waitress was not attentive. They say up front they charge 3% for credit card use. We paid cash and it took awhile for them to figure out how to remove the extra charge. Recommend, but next time I'm staying downstairs!

I really enjoyed this place! Gorgeous day in Houston so we sat on the patio. There is a market downstairs and the restaurant is upstairs. Clever use of space and great set up. I have been here 3 times total and I have noticed service is slow if you aren’t sitting at the bar. I personally love sitting at the bar anywhere so if you are like me, opt for that. Patio has bar height and regular height tables. The chairs are metal and some are rusting. I want to make note of this because white or light clothing would be ruined! On to the food! Delicious! I have never had any complaints. If you love Mac n cheese, please try their truffle Mac. It’s just too good! Any of the sliders, the monkey bread, deviled eggs. All of it. Top tier. The one thing I tried that was new was the wings. Not a fan. Won’t order again but will stick to my favorites mentioned above. Atmosphere is great, very low key and artisanal. Will continue to be a customer.

This is a cute place for brunch in the Heights. I stopped by for a very quick bite with two of my friends on a chill Saturday morning around 11:00am. There are two levels of seating inside as well as an outdoor patio. The tables inside are pretty close together so noise level can be an issue sometimes, esp with the upbeat music they play lol. I ordered the Parisian Breakfast for brunch with eggs over easy and a lovely side of croissant with Brie and Honey and also a baguette with strawberry preserves and whipped butter. My friends had the Duck Fat Camper's Hash and there were no complaints about that one either. The staff here is very cordial and friendly, I would like to come back again next time, and sit and chill for longer.

We love this place. This past week we got some of the prepared foods from the case as we had limited time. Normally, we eat upstairs in the dining room. The dining area is always consistently good and the sliders are my favorite. They’re so good. This trip though my daughter had a quiche and I had Brussels sprouts and chicken salad. Everything is prepared with quality ingredients and very flavorful. The lemon meringue pie was exceptional. I always pass straight through the market area and now I know that’s a mistake. Parking is a bit of a challenge as the back exit is closed at the moment.

I only gave 4 stars for the food because I haven't tried a wide enough variety. We mainly came for the drink so. The drinks were amazing! I mean amazing. The nest I've had in a while. The 2 drinks were something like a cucumber Martini refresher and their version of a French 75. Simply amazing. The bartenders were super nice and attentive. We plan to return in order to partake in the bottom level desserts! The food I might add, did look delectable so I'll review later about it.

Excellent!! We tried the three choices and they filled the bowl with salad and excellent dressing. I took cookies for later and they did not disappoint. I'd go here again and again.

Urban Eats is still great! We went back last night for dinner and it was excellent. The cocktails and beer were delicious and had great service. For food, we went with sliders this time. I wish they had a mix n match option for them. But it works out fine when my husband and I both want sliders and can agree on a couple to split. We had the Mob Boss and Truffled Egg Club. The Mob Boss is my favorite slider and always a go to. Truffled Egg Club was really good too though! We also got a couple desserts to go from the downstairs counter - a creme Brulee bar and Frangipane Croissant. Omg the Frangipane Croissant was amazing and my new favorite! So good.

To go biscuits and chicken today. Biscuits are freshly baked and nice and fluffy. The chicken is breast and light breaded and good amount. Also all the sides are separated so you can apply your butter, honey, and spicy stuff at home. Highly recommended for their biscuits and they have a small area of local foods to buy also. Come support local business!

This place is a diamond in the rough. It's a little small if the upstairs seating is not opened. Be aware for parties over 6 the seating is a little challenging. The service was nice. They were very welcoming and patient when I was ordering. The food was beyond my expectation. Everything is well seasoned. The biscuit was moist and the chicken was also well fried and not too oily. The gravy was definitely the star of the meal. They must put crack in that gravy because I am addicted. Overall, I feel that this establishment was a good pick and is a place I would love to come back and try out more of what they have to offer.

This 5 * rating is for the southern style breakfast which is really good! Eggs, grits, sausage, biscuits & gravy. Best breakfast in town. Service was excellent. I was coughing and the server brought me some water. She was very nice. Unique layout and good for meal / work kind of stop. All I have is after picture :) ps... I ate here previously for lunch and was good, not memorable. Goes to show you gotta order right to be right. I bookmarked today.

Such a cute place! It's 2 stories 1st floor being more of a market/fresh bakery to purchase and go. They have things like quiche, muffins, specialty croissants, a coffee bar, crackers, jams, bags of fresh leaf tea, etc. 2nd floor - Full bar and dining room, 4 booths along one wall, 2 seater tables on another wall, 4 seater bar top tables on the other wall and the full bar in the middle. The food was delicious! Fried chicken & waffle with strawberry praline - The waffle was thick, big but still fluffy, with LOTS of fresh cut strawberries and praline on top! The chicken was thinly cut 2 nice size pieces and fried crispy with a light flour coating. Gouda grits, asparagus and veggie cream omelette & croissant. If you want grits that will make you want more order these! The croissants are huge and fluffy and pull apart soft. The omelette was huge as well and stuffed like a chicken LOL. Very fulfilling breakfast here, the waitresses are on the younger side so not a lot of smiles or friendly banter going on, just take your order and drop off your food kinda deal. They did check on us twice so not bad service, but just not overly friendly or friendly I guess.

I really enjoyed this place! Gorgeous day in Houston so we sat on the patio. There is a market downstairs and the restaurant is upstairs. Clever use of space and great set up.

I would fly back to Houston just to eat here. Came here on trip at the suggestion of a friend. So many things I wanted to try as they all looked delicious. I settled on the Breakfast Naan, so tasty and pillow soft. I got the hot honey chicken to go (yes to go on an airplane ) and ate it the next day for lunch (reheat in the airfryer), delicious!!!! Bought a oatmeal currant cookie and blueberry muffin from the bakery and they did not disappoint. Staff was friendly and efficient. They have an upstairs for the actual restaurant which gets busy (not shocked) so wait time was about 30-45 minutes (average for brunch time). We opted to just order the same food downstairs and sit outside in their umbrella covered outdoor seating area. Staff brought the food out for us. So you have a second option if you get there and don't want to wait. Highly recommend them and can't wait to eat there again when I return to Houston.

Really enjoyed our dinner (at happy hour!) here! All of the food was excellent - deviled eggs were delicious and well-filled, my slider was tasty (could've used a bit more sauce), and the cauliflower was delicious! And can't go wrong with an apple tart. Loved the atmosphere and the market downstairs with the restaurant upstairs. We came during the last 5 minutes of happy hour so the prices were super reasonable! Only complaint: the wrong item(s) we're brought a couple other of times. The person I was with actually got the wrong slider for her meal and didn't want to say anything so didn't really eat the main. I would've said something if I had known but didn't find out until we were leaving. Overall, great experience and I will be back to try more!

I had some issues with the service. If it weren't for that, I would give 5/5 based on food, ambiance, and cost. It's a reasonable cost for a large amount of food. I cannot eat dairy/eggs, and the vegan monkey bread was phenomenal and something I haven't been able to eat anywhere else. I would go back for that alone. The salad was good too outside of the pork being dry. Given my food intolerances, our server was somewhat rude with me about options to accommodate salad dressings, etc. I also had to get my salad remade since I'm pregnant and all salad meats are cold; they heated up the meat, but it was dry. I was pretty discouraged by the service initially because of the trouble I was given regarding my food intolerances, but I did leave full and satisfied. I think I would consider coming back.

We came early on a Saturday morning. No problems parking in their lot before the upstairs dining room opens at 10am. There was a hair in our breakfast pie and our lattes were very watered down. So, not a great impression. The monkey bread was delicious, I'll give them that. Service was fine - we ate downstairs. Ambience is nice - clean, well lit, lots of market goods on sale.

Found this establishment from Yelp and decided to give it a try. The downstairs is a bakery & market, the full service restaurant is up the stairs. We were promptly sat, and greeted with ice waters which helped as it is hot outside, and on the warm side inside the restaurant- I think they were having AC problems. As an appetizer we got the tomato fennel soup and monkey break with whipped honey butter- the bread was AMAZING, definitely a must order, the soup was alright, a little salty for me but my partner loved it. We both ordered the pork chops and shared the Mac and cheese and potatoes which were all so good and cooked amazingly. We will definitely be visiting again to try more things on the menu. The service was okay.

Festive little eatery off Washington. Great food-loved the BLT, deviled eggs, and cobbler with ice cream. Bartender made me an alcohol free cocktail. Happy hour specials were outrageous Nice music and ambience as well.

Dined in on a Thursday at 7:00 pm fora party of two and it was not busy. We ordered: Chicken parmigiano dinner: the chicken was extremely dry, the fettuccine Alfredo was creamy but bland Meatloaf dinner: meatloaf was moist and seasoned to perfection, brussel sprouts had good flavors, and the three pig truffle was very tasty Lemon macaron: the shell was hard and crispy, not sure if it was old or over baked, but the lemon flavor was light and not too sweet

The best ever! We will miss you so much Wishing you both well. Love love the concept of Urban Eats, super unique.

I really like the vibe of this place! I came here with my elderly boss, and we ate upstairs, so he had to walk up and down those stairs, which was slow for him, but also gave us both a chance to admire the artwork that decorated the staircase and most of the wall space. I love that, and it's all for sale! Once up top, we were greeted and seated. Our host and server were both genuinely nice and pleasant. There was an issue with the lemonade, and I started to just order something else but my server insisted on getting me a lemonade - which they did and I totally appreciated!! And then to top it off, brought me some in a to go cup. That was just the right touch because I had quite a drive ahead of me, why not enjoy a delish lemonade in Houston traffic? Started out with the monkey bread and was not disappointed. Then, I got the brisket sliders and they were so hearty and tasty! Paired with the fries, I got full quicker than expected, was brought a box without having to ask, and the food heated up well in the air fryer! This is always such a huge win in my book lol. My boss got the fried chicken salad and loved it, although he ate only about 6 bites total. Our server was very patient with him and very attentive. There were a few other tables occupied and the noise level was still very decent. There are some things on the menu that I'd like to try still, so I'll be back!

This is the PERFECT spot for happy hour. $25 for a beautiful charcuterie board and a bottle of wine during happy hour. Grab a seat at the bar or the lovely patio which has a view of downtown. Their happy hour menu really can't be beat - cheap and delicious bites, half off cocktails, beer and wine flights, and much more. Definitely check this place out and explore the precious market while you're there.

Finally made it back around to trying dinner here! They have a great variety of sliders so we shared the cowboy and southern chicks plus singles of the mob boss and Rueben and Rebecca. I have to say, for being "award winning" the cowboy was a little dry but all the sliders were still pretty good! Don't be fooled by the name "slider," these plates are filling! Our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs. Cocktails were very good and a great deal on happy hour (50% off). Also recommend the monkey bread as an appetizer for $5 on happy hour! Still a little slow on the service front but if you're not in a rush, this is a fun spot for dinner or drinks with small groups.

I came right before brunch ended and was still given top notch service and attention!! I ordered the duck hash w/ mushrooms and spinach and ate every single bite!! The vibe was perfect for sports watching while I also read my book. I sat at the bar and will be back ASAP!

Amazing service.... Pastisseri fresh every day!!!! I love this restaurant- is all on one/ even a delicatessen market.. Enjoy

This place is a great third place to add to your rotation. They've got coffee, breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. To top all that off they have a cute market on the first floor with tons of artisan and organic pantry items. Large parties should be aware that seating is limited at the restaurant. Great place to work on the computer with charger ports all arounds. Food is great, we love the Honey Butter Chicken Biscuits and is plenty to share for two. All employees make the environment very welcoming.

Urban Eats is a cool spot for a weekend brunch! The Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit is so delicious. I especially loved the Texas hot honey with it, but didn't care too much for the bacon jam. Their house hot honey is game changer! We also ordered one of the house favorite sides- 3 Pigs Truffled Mac & Cheese, and it did not disappoint... so good! I ordered an iced cinnamon latte, and it was sweet and tasted like horchata, I enjoyed it. The peach mimosa was ok, and a little too tart with too much juice. I love that you get a nice view of the city skyline and I do recommend that you sit out on the balcony porch on a nice weather day. The dining area upstairs is a little dark, and not enough natural light coming through, making it feel like you're dining in a warehouse. They have a cute little market downstairs with some artisan foods and goodies if you want to pick anything up on your way out or in. I have Urban Eats still bookmarked and plan to go back to try more!

Ordered through door dash. I got the Gouda grits, bacon and biscuit flight. The food is amazing. The biscuits are my favorite and paired perfectly with each jam or butter. Can't wait to visit in person.

Mama, what a good first stop on my Houston Restaurant Weeks tour. I knew from the warm greeting by Robert that this was going to be a great meal. At $39 this meal didn't disappoint at all. The fried green tomato stack was the sleeper hit and probably my favorite part. In fairness, I was soon too stuffed to finish my dinner or dessert. I would definitely return. Pro Tip: if you are trying to avoid a crowd Tuesday nights at 6:30pm give you the ability to social distance cause it isn't as busy.

Urban eats is one of my favorite places to eat in the city. I've been here multiple times for the atmosphere and food! Walking through the front door you are met with a cafe setting, but walk up the staircase to find a cozy sit-down restaurant with a nice view of the city from the patio outside. The seating arrangement feels very cozy, like you are in someone's apartment or a secluded hangout in the city. The times I've come here I got the cowboy slider with juicy Salisbury steak and waffle cut fries, the Mac and cheese, the luxe daiquiri, and a lemon tart. The chefs here are actually talented, but my mac and cheese was too salty for my taste the last time I went. The luxe daiquiri is a kicker, because it's sweet in all the right ways. You don't taste the alcohol but you sure can feel it! I'm looking forward to my next visit!

We were visiting Houston for the weekend and I was looking for something quick that didn't require a deposit just to eat. Wellll I found this gem on tik tok Vibe - very family, comfortable like a cute cafe. Service - we sat at the bar and it was great! We never needed or waited on anything. The bartenders were great even though they were busy. Food - WHAT A HEAVEN SENT MEAL!!!! Soooooo good, everything was sooooo fresh and flavorful. I had the omelette, with the best grits ever!! And the biscuit was so good. Parking looked limited but we ubered so I'm unsure. Overall I highly recommend this place to grab a quick bite it was so yummy.

I love this hidden gem! The employees are warm and friendly. The food is exceptional! My favorites are the monkey bread, eggplant napoleon and all their desserts!

One of my favorite little spots! Great for brunch, happy hour, lunch - you name it! I've had several salads which I've enjoyed every time. Monkey bread is a must, which can be found on the happy hour menu, too. Happy hour: $4 wells, house wine, beers between 3-6, plus food options Also be sure to check out the shop below! There's local art on the walls, a nice little outdoor space, truly this place is incredible!

My second time trying them and just as impressed as the first visit! Our server Lamar was so nice and personable and amazing at his job! I've ordered the delicious short ribs and grits meal both times I've gone and it's been consistently a winner! My friends had the cowboy sliders and an entree salad and loved them too. Try the savory monkey bread appetizers too; they're very yummy! Drink selections are also great and I suggest ordering the mezcal paloma drink cocktail it's divine!

Brunch here is great! I would consider the brunch items to be an elevated version of the classic favorites. For instance, I had the Breakfast Duck Fat Campers Hash with smoked brisket. It was phenomenal! My boyfriend and I also split an order of pancakes with maple syrup, and something about it was just so addicting! I almost didn't want to share. Lastly, the biscuits here are my favorite! If my dish doesn't come with a biscuit, I add one on the side. It's crisp on the outside, but so soft and fluffy on the inside. It's really good with butter and the strawberry jam. I've never really had to wait for seating the last few times I've been for Sunday brunch. They also have a rooftop patio that you can sit at. On the first floor of the building, there's a mini market and cafe that sells unique deli goods and pastries!

Amazing amazing amazing breakfast spot for us! The service is great , food is tasteful and they customise it just how you ask them to. We wanted to be seated at their rooftop however it did not open until 11 am. Their lattes and coffee drinks are so delicious! This is the first time I took one sip and did not need to add sugar or wish it was warmer . Everything was perfect !

Love this cute little place. They have a roof top to also hang out while eating and it has shading. They also have somewhat a little store with goodies and treats when you walk in. Came here on a Friday at 12:30 & there was no wait. I ordered the Solo Lunch platter & it was delicious. I got the cowboy burger & it was good and BBQ tangyish. They have tons of fries to choose from (shoestrings, waffle fries). The salad was good and it was a good size/portion of food. Service was slow at times to get water refills but I would recommend to check it out.

We went here because it had a patio and was close by. The downstairs area is adorable and even offers a "build your own gift basket" bar- for those who may need a last minute gift option. Their bakery provided a window of temptations- of which i selected the pecan tart (I ate half while waiting for coffee). Upstairs was the restaurant that had an overwhelming option of selections. We decided to go for 4 different sliders between the two of us and enjoyed critiquing and ranking each one. The cowboy and the southern chick were two of our favorites. The option of shoe string, waffle or sweet potato fries was also a nice touch.

We couldn't tell from the outside what to expect but the experience and the food was really good. We ordered the fried chicken and waffle, monkey bread and bacon jam, and the honey butter biscuit. The bacon jam was to die for. It was both savory and sweet. The bread was savory and peppered with herbs. I really enjoyed my fried chicken but the waffle was a little chewy and wasn't hot when it came to the table. I loved the market downstairs and the fact that you could purchase things to go. We will definitely be returning.

Stopped in for a late lunch and was not disappointed! Since it was an off time, we opted to get appetizers, but clearly our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. We ordered the Monkey bread, Society eggs & meat and cheese boards. Everything was fantastic! The Monkey bread was warm and delicious! The Society egg, which are deviled eggs, tasted fantastic (this was my fav out of all that we ordered), and the mean and cheese board was beautifully presented with crostini type bread (so tasty!!), 3 kinds of cheeses, meats, nuts and fruit, as well as some jam and honey. They offer grab and go items, including prepared food and stuff you can stop in and buy like a market. Looking forward to stopping in again and trying other options!

First timer here and definitely will be returning. Great happy hour selection. I ordered the smoked wings, sweet potato fries, and a Texas Peach Blossom. I loved the Bakery/ Market; great variety. I ordered an Oero cake pop. The ambiance was laid back. Downstairs is walk up order & Perfect to do lite remote work alone or meet up with a friend. Upstairs is more intimate for a dine in experience.

Nice quiet Washington location. Nice patio for pretty weather days. Kid and dog friendly. Cute store inside with yummy treats to take home. Friendly staff. Nice breakfast choices and everything we ordered tasted delicious and fresh. Clean restrooms. Cons: The iced coffee was not good. It was the first time I ordered ice coffee, took one sip and didn't drink the rest. Also, breakfast was great, will be back but tried dinner and No Thank You! It took fooooorever to get our food. Food was luke warm. The prices are too expensive for the mediocre taste. We didn't finish any of our items we ordered. Breakfast 4 Stars, Dinner 3 Stars so I averaged 3 stars overall.

This place is somewhat of a curiosity because when you go in you get the feeling that you are in a specialty shop in a European City; fresh baked bread lines a shelf, Italian meats and cheese sit in a refrigerated case, and all sorts of French pastries are available for gluttonous consumption. I'm not really into that stuff (at least not here in the US where Amazon makes all these products easily available), but I am into the fried chicken biscuit that would make Whataburger hang their head in shame. The biscuit is out-of-this-world-and-beyond and the chicken and honey (sauce?) were perfect as well. Service is decent enough for quick-service, and the patio is fine in the morning when it's not too hot. Give it a shot if you're on the hunt to find your favorite breakfast spot.

Good food and great staff. I have tried most of the menu and it doesn't disappoint. The only downside is the space is smaller and isn't made for large groups.

Have passed by this place for years, and it wasn't until a co-worker suggested it for lunch decided to give it a try! my only complaint would be the parking because this gem had great food. Though I played it safe with the sliders I have to go back to try the other dishes that I saw as I scanned near by tables meals that were being served!!

FYI: I'm obsessed with the brunch menu here! The short ribs and grits has me in a chokehold. Haven't done any other meal here as of yet. But, brunch is consistently delicious and the service is fast. I've dined in once, and placed my brunch to go orders, twice. All perfectly executed with no decline in flavor or goodness. Seriously, all the yums at a great (portion and) price! ;0)

I've always enjoyed breakfast and lattes at Urban Eats. You can't go wrong with their yummy selection of pastries. Mini Italian market is always filled with amazing foods.

I came here on my birthday a few days ago. It's a bit hidden (staircase in back), but the food was incredible! The sliders are a must! The only food I didn't like was the chocolate brownie. It tasted dry, almost like the gluten free kind. But overall, the meal was fantastic.

Those drinks are great!!!! You must try the biscuits and jam... you'll be ordering more to take home. I can't wait to go back.

This was a really cool and hip restaurant to me when I lived in the suburbs. Now an inner looper, Urban Eats is one of those very bland and mediocre yuppie spots in a very competitive food space. The style is classic American/ bar food so that's also a very generic and crowded market. Located off of Washington Ave, parking is available in their lot. Dining is upstairs; the menu is very basic and our meal there was somewhat forgettable and generic. The flavors were fine but for the "Heights" feel, you really expect better quality ingredients and flavor profiles. Overall, there are much better options in general that within a couple miles. For classic American, there are also much better options nearby.

Vegetarian dish marked as duck fat on menu Would be cautious if you have any dietary restrictions Thanks for clarifying, important to please update your menu accordingly

We've been coming to Urban Eats every year for the last 6 years for our anniversary. Service was good, food was absolutely delicious. We had the biscuit flight and our favorite was the buttermilk with bacon jam. The truffle Mac along with the monkey bread is a must. Truffle fries *chef's kiss*

Big portions made from scratch and $12 carafes can't beat that. Also, the biscuits are a must. Flaky and made in house Most def. A good place for brunch with out worrying about large crowds.

Food is always great. The meatloaf and cheese and Mac are the best. The service at the bar and grab and go counter are the best. Definitely a return for more food and hang out in the upstairs outside dinning area. It has the best view of Downtown.

Amazing food. I ordered an omelette and it was stuffed with amazing flavors and veggies. The bagel tasted fresh. My bf got the naan breakfast and he loved it. Yummy sauce. Great atmosphere. Morgan in the market was soo helpful and energetic. Super sweet girl. Will definitely come back

This place is super cute for a lunch or dinner date. I met up with a childhood friend here and had a great time. There's a bakery on the bottom floor, and a full-service restaurant upstairs. Our waitress was pretty nice - we came midday on a Thursday but it still had a decent amount of people inside. The drinks were delicious and the food was really good too. I'll definitely be back to check out the bakery!
