The place is large, has indoor and outdoor seating. Dog friendly for outside seating. I ordered to-go for lunch on a Thursday. The wait was a bit longer than I expected since they had just opened for the day. The self serve sauce bar makes me uneasy, from a hygiene perspective. Anyone can contaminate the whole batch should they open the lid and talk, spit or do whatever else they want to it. I know it’s easy to do it this way, but you never know with people these days. Ordered the brisket and pulled pork sandwich, came to about $60. I would go back for the food, however it is overpriced. The beer selection looks really good. There’s also a small wine selection as well.

The Real Deal is Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse which delivers on outstanding BBQ flavors and fun atmosphere! Firstoff, let’s begin with the service which was good, but the wait to be able to order took a long time on a Saturday lunch. The wait after ordering took a bit as well. I would be prepared during a lunch or dinner be there for a bit. I have to say the rest is worth the wait. Second, the atmosphere and vibe are outstanding. Rustic looks and lots of seating inside and outside, seating for large groups. The decor fits the bbq world, lots of fun, and meat education. Thirdly and lastly, the Food, Yes!!! The bbq here is outstanding, full of flavor, beers are amazing, huge variety of beers and family style foods and single plates as well! I didn’t get time to rate everything so I will update this on the next go around! I will be back with an update I hope so!! Must try!!!

Very cool place! The covered outdoor patio has string lights and a mural, which make the atmosphere so festive! The food is delicious and was brought out extremely fast. The tri-tip was the most tender meat I've ever had. The staff were also super friendly and helpful. They even gave us samples of drinks when we were deciding what to order. Definitely hope to come back here!

I came here for lunch one day while in town for business meetings. I got the 1/4 Tri-Tip meal with "Burnt end beans" and a "Winter salad" as my sides. I had asked for the meat well done and lean, I got well done but it could have been leaner. The 1/4 pound is two strips of meat and I ended up losing a solid portion to fat. Aside from that, the meat tasted fantastic. Their BBQ sauces were delicious, the soda machine had great better for you options, and the sides were fantastic. I'm very picky with beans, I usually do not like them at 90% of the places I go, but these were fantastic and they had pieces of meat in with them. I paid about $20 for lunch, which is a little on the high side, especially given the portion of meat. I did not have any of their beer as I had to drive right after and they had mostly IPAs and few if any beers that I would drink. I ate inside. The atmosphere was great and the music was fantastic. It looked like they had a private room and maybe even tours of their facility.

I've been to Urban Roots many times. I've always enjoyed my food. My favorites are the fried fish plate and the brisket. I stopped in to place a to-go order. My family wants good-sized portions and I shared this with the gentleman who took my order. I paid a hefty $178 to feed a family of 4. Needless to say, when I got home I was very disappointed (see pics). I probably would have saved money if I bought individual plates. This order was a trial because I told them I wanted to use their catering for 4th of July. While I was there waiting for my food I sent an email to the catering department. I have not received a response but based on the amount of food we received a catering order would be out of the question. THIS RATING IS SOLELY BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF FOOD WE RECEIVED FOR THE AMOUNT WE PAID.

Best ribs and collard greens I’ve had in a long time. Solid burger and great beer selection as well! Friendly staff and lots of outdoor seating too. Can’t wait to go back!

Hooray for patio bike parking! Clean bathroom. The fish in the fish taco was nice. The salsa was very vinegar. Onion rings great but dont come with any sauce. Also, I know it's common these days, but why are beers in every brewery are often half IPAs? So we ordered four that weren't for our tasting. I liked 2 out of 5 (the hazy ironically and the porter). The ordering process was a bit disjointed; I didn't understand the line and choosing the beers and paying all in separate places. Somehow felt cramped up there for such a huge room. Pleasant to sit outside so overall not bad. Best to go on a Monday or Tuesday and get the promo pints for $5.

Yall, go to this place! As someone who lives in Texas, I was curious/skeptical about their BBQ. But lemme tell you, it is GOOOOOD! I actually had (on the side) the Alabama white sauce, as I had never heard of that, and it was good! DON'T FORGET THE BEER! It's yummy!!

What an amazing discovery! Visited Urban Roots Brewing & Smokehouse for the first time on June 21 to celebrate a birthday -- and it was an unforgettable experience. We ended up here by chance, but it turned out to be the highlight of the evening. The beer selection is outstanding -- something for every taste -- and the meat? Absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. The place has a relaxed and vibrant vibe, and the service was spot-on too. This is easily one of the most memorable spots I've been to in Sacramento, and I'm already looking forward to coming back again. 5 stars without a doubt!

Tried the pork belly burnt ends, shrimp skewer, pork spare ribs, and tri tip. The pork belly was the clear winner -- tender, nicely seared, and coated in a sweet sauce that hit all the right notes. That said, it wasn't anything you couldn't find at plenty of other BBQ spots, so it's not enough to bring me back. Everything else missed the mark. The shrimp was very overcooked, the ribs and tri tip were tough and dry, and the sauces were just okay. For BBQ, I'm looking for juicy, tender meats that make you want to lick your fingers, and this just wasn't it. Ordering is counter style, they give you a number, and the food comes to your table. Friendly enough setup, but food-wise, I'd absolutely skip this as Sac has plenty of better options.

Came here for a small party. The place is pretty big. They have both a large outdoor dinning are in front and two dinning areas inside. One private and the main. You order from the front counter and they give you a number to bring out your food later. They have an extensive beer menu and even some slushy type drinks. The staff here is amazing and very helpful. The private dinning area can be booked for parties but if you get there early like we did and it's not booked you can just grab some tables and you don't have to pay the fee. We had 20 something so it worked out great. I got the brisket and tri tip. I made sure to get the fatty brisket so it was juicy . the tri tip was great to. I had the burnt ends beans , hella yummy. The corn bread was kind of small but good. I would definitely come back for the food and it's a great place to hang out.

Solid Sacto beer hall (makes their own brews) with a bbq swag. When this hit my search feed, I knew it was going to be a good match. Big open space, warehouse-y feel with high ceilings. Lots of communal bench seating, outdoor patio with a good amount of seating as well. Order up front and food gets brought out. 2 different areas/lines which is annoying, and if you want to get another drink/food item, get back in line...even more annoying. A positive is if you put a card down, they can run a tab, so you don't have to pay each time, which would have been a deal breaker for me. EZPZ Lager ($7/4.5*) It was warm that day and we had just came back from a baseball game in the sun, so could not do anything heavy. This was perfect as it was a crisp Pils style with a sturdier hop finish. I easily gobbled up 2 monster mugs, like how their mugs are .5 litres Euro-style. Pasta Salad ($7/3*) This was a side special for that day. It was penne pasta tossed in a pesto with chunks of summer squash and maybe another veg or 2. Just meh, pasta kinda gummy and the sauce was kinda bland, thought it would be more fresh and vibrant. Think it needs some acid to brighten it and more salt/seasoning. Hot Link ($8/3.5*) Good looking sausage with a firm chewy casing. May be house made as I've never had a hot link with stronger cumin note which gave it southwest vibes. Leaner than I wanted also as it had no pops, just dryish spicy lean sausage grind in the middle. Better when dipped into one of their hot and tangy bbq sauces. Brisket Plate ($29/4*) Half pound of brisket, we chose both lean and fatty cuts. Solid Q as it was tender but still in sliceable form. Good detectable smoke flavor and good on its own. Though a little sauce won't hurt it. We liked the fatty much more than the lean, so next time one hundo fatty. We turned this into a 'meal' so it added a piece of corn bread which was small but awesome, great texture and flavor. Get a side and chose their Collard Greens with Pork. It was nice and juicy and the greens were cooked properly. Just a tad salty, and glad it was a small portion, cuz any bigger I couldn't have took any more bites. But a pretty solid bbq out and with the cold homemade brews, just elevated this to a solid 4*.

Great vibes and fun atmosphere with plenty of seating and top tier service (including receptiveness to feedback!). Unfortunately half the BBQ meats we tried were super dry :/ We got the sampler platter for 4 -- the pork belly and surprisingly the turkey were the only exceptional cuts. The sausages were solid, and the letdowns were the brisket, chicken, and pulled pork, all of which were pretty dry and likely very overcooked. Onion rings were great though!

Came here for a quick casual Tuesday lunch. The restaurant is bright and spacious and has plenty of outdoor space too. We ordered the angus brisket, shrimp skewer, and grilled mahi mahi. The brisket (1/2 lb) comes in four pieces, one of which is much thicker, leaner, and less tender. Apart from that we liked all items, and they were reasonably priced.

Whenever I'm in a BBQ mood, I always find myself coming back to Urban Roots. I enjoy the quick, casual feel to the place. Lots of seating inside and outdoors. Preferably, I sit outside -- even in the summertime -- they got lots of shade out there to keep it cool. Service is quick; you order at the counter and they bring it out to your table. The 1/2lb pork belly burnt ends is my go to. It's tangy and sweet. Comes with a side salad, mac n cheese, and corn bread. Good portion and always gets me satisfied at the end!

Been here a few times and haven't done a review yet. They are a craft brewery and smokehouse. Urban Roots has a nice selection of beers including ales, stouts, lagers, and even wine options. The draft list that they have is subject to change, but you can't go wrong with the options they have. Enjoy some good smoked meats, or their burgers, salads, and sandwiches. There's a nice patio to sit outside along with seating inside.

I came here during dinner time on a weekend and here is my experience. The place is HUGE, with plenty of seatings in and outside of the space for seating. It was very spacious and the open space concept is great. The worker got the line moving quickly so I did not have to wait long to order my food and receiving was in a jiffy 15ish minute. I ordered the pork belly burnt ends and the rib dinner platter, and dang it was filling! The pork belly is a recommend from me to order and the ribs were amazing if you enjoy the dryer type of ribs. How did they make the fries because it was AMAZING and sooo crunchy! Wonderful with the bbq sauce that was self served in the restraunt. I will definetly be coming back for more, especially the fries with bbq sauce because that was such a scene stealer to me. Thank you Urban Roots. Food Insta: @kellydotcoms

I wish I could put them as 6 stars because this was fantastic! Staff were super friendly, you order food then can order drinks at the bar. We got some great recommendations about drink and ended up with the mango margaritas they had that day that didn't disappoint. Food was amazing, I'd go back just to try more! We got a few different bbq options and sides and nothing disappointed!

The atmosphere and service was phenomenal! The food...can't say enough...still raving about it. The burnt ends were sticky and delicious! Beer on tap selection was endless and the bartenders gave great suggestions to try. Definitely stop by if you're in the area or waiting for the highway traffic to die down.

Bbq is one of my favorite foods and I've been wanting to try Urban Roots. I finally got to try it out Friday night. Walking in, I was impressed by the outdoor seating and indoor seating, plenty of seatings for small and large groups! I also like the open kitchen concept. The concept here is you order at the cashier they'll bring the food out to you. This is similar to the bbq concept in Texas. For food I ordered a 1/4 pound of Brisket, half portion of ribs, and I made it a combo (side, side salad, and cornbread) for the side I chose the brisket beans. The food came out within minutes. The food tasted amazing. I've been craving bbq ever since I came back from Texas and this was comparable. Not as good as Texas, but as good as it gets in California. Everything was amazing here including the beer. Urban roots is also one of my favorite breweries in Sacramento. Overall I would highly recommend this place!

Great BBQ in Sacramento, but you u definitely need to help yourself to the house sauces. I got tri tips, cheddar quest, and a side of the beans. The outdoor space is amazing on a nice day, and obviously their beer selection is top notch.

An excellent smokehouse with so many good options off the bbq. And a full slate of Urban Roots beer. I do prefer the Pangaea style of beer offerings a little more than here, but they still have quite acceptable offerings. A perfect spot for lunch/brunch. Pretty good for dinner too!

Our group loved it so much we went twice. The meat eaters loved everything they got- over the course of the few days they got brisket, chicken wings, beans, cornbread, side salad and mac n cheese. Lots of smoke rings on the meat and they were in heaven. I super appreciated the clear labeling of gluten free, vegetarian and vegan items. As the vegan I did not leave hungry- The side melon salad was tasty (no gross slimy melon to be found) and the succotash salad was delicious and filling. The salad is enough for two people depending on your hunger level. There is also soft serve (dairy based). Plenty of seating options indoors and outdoors. There are 5.00 pint nights (Monday and Tuesday). The service was perfect and everything came out quickly. Highly recommend!

I remember really loving the pork belly burnt ends the first time I've ever been here. Coming again, it's absolutely still my favorite thing to order & I think it's worth it. So much savory flavor goes into. Just know it might be very oily. We also tried the brisket this time. It was pretty good, but not mind blowing. And the portion size was wayyyyy smaller than I hoped for. I know it goes by pound, but man, was I surprised. We made this a meal, which all tasted pretty good! Mac & cheese, side salad and the cornbread with the super yummy maple butter (I think it was maple butter). This is a pretty cool spot to hang out with friends and grabs some food and drinks. Staff was pretty nice. There's a table with bbq sauces & you put away your own dishes near there once you're done eating. I'd still come back, but make sure to only order the burnt ends, or make sure to look at photos to see what I'm getting.

Just got here and ordered. Tri tip was no good. It looked good but tasted way over salted. Roll was the generic roll but good. The winner was the honey butter that came with the roll thats what saved the meal. If i had to do it again I would just stick with sides, forget the tritip.

Loved the chimichiri Tri tip! Ribs were good as was the Cali Club, but would prefer sourdough to white bread. Pulled pork was flavorful. Beers were great. Fries were crispy and salty. Loved all the barbecue sauces for dipping fries.

Single line (no matter how what.) Worth the wait...? Brisket beef dip sandwich, ribs, etc. The BBQ sauce is a must.

A super cool bbq spot with tons of beer options on tap, bbq, salad and side options. Seating is no problem - outdoor w/ water mists for hot days, long concrete slab tables w/high bar stool type seating, booths and wooden picnic style tables inside the barrel room area that is closed off w/ glass separation. The restaurant itself is nestled within a neighborhood so street parking is available but can be limited. Orders are placed by standing in line and you are given a number for delivery service to your table. We started off with drinks and i landed on few different beers (Horse Tornado - Hazy IPA and Guava Juice Rush) which were both good. My food order included a combo plate comprised of 1/2 lb ribs, onion rings, salad and cornbread. The bbq was on point and the variety of sauces were also really good and ranged from sweet to hot & spicy. This was a really cool place for bbq and beers, service was excellent and I highly recommend it.

Second time I've been here. They are expensive for how much food you get but delicious. Plenty of seating inside and outside. They also have different bbq sauces you can put in a little cup to try. My favorite thing has to be the Pibb though. Pibb is my absolute fav soda and I get very excited when places have it.

3.5/4 stars for me. This was a highly recommended to me by someone in Sac as they mentioned every time they have friends and family visit this is their go to spot. It has cool vibes and lots of beer selections and just a fun sit down place. We had a beer flight and decided to take our food to go as we were super tired from our long day. Staff is super friendly. I can't speak too much to the beer selection as I've really toned down on drinking beer for many years now. In regards to the food--- While I typically expect to more when going to bbq spots, similar to other reviews I cannot justify the amount of meat you pay for the price. Maybe this was specifically in regards to the ribs. The half pound of ribs only came with 2 pieces of ribs. It makes me wonder if they take into consideration the bones and if this is the weight precooked or after. The 1/4 lb pulled pork seemed to have more meat and more filling. I would say everything was good but nothing particularly out of this world or memorable compared to other places I've been. I would say the brisket tacos is prob worth a try in terms of taste and cost. Wish we ordered to dine in so that we could have ordered more food instead. -brisket tacos -1/4 lb pulled pork -1/2 Lb ribs -pork belly burnt ends We got the tacos, pulled pork, ribs,

I came here on Saturday for a friend's 50th birthday. There was a large group of us but we were able to find a couple outside tables very quickly, in the back area. All the food everyone ordered looked really good and people had nothing but great things to say about it. I had already eaten but I did try a friend's onion ring and it was very tasty. I'll definitely be back soon for ribs, they looked amazing and I've enjoyed them in the past. They have a nice condiment t table. The beer selection is good and I appreciated the cider and hard seltzer option as I am gluten sensitive. The staff member's were all nice and welcoming. I do wish they would set up a sit down ordering system as there is always a line to order food especially on sunny weekends.

Urban Roots is our favorite brewery in Sacramento. First and foremost, the beers are consistently top notch. We've been coming here for 5 years and definitely have our favorites (Luna De Miel Mexican lager is #1), but you really can't go wrong ordering any of the house brews. The draft list is expansive, covering the most popular trends, but also often including complex malty beers and other styles often omitted by other small breweries. Stick around for some great BBQ! We love the smoked turkey and have frequently taken home a half pound for sandwiches. "Make it a meal" for a fantastic lunch on the patio w/ pickles, salad, cornbread and your choice of side. We go crazy for the collared greens. The crew working here is so friendly and upbeat. Ask for suggestions & current house favorites... the team always seems happy to help. We no longer live locally, but do our best to make it to Urban Roots whenever we visit or pass through the area. If we are short on time we'll still stop for some beer to-go. This stuff is the best around town. Cheers!

Stumbled across this spot while in Sacramento last month and it was a great find. Urban Roots features a large selection of beers/cocktails and their smoked meats hit the spot. My favorite were the wings!! Great spot for date night/day or friends get together, also family friendly too so truly anyone can enjoy it. Large venue, ample seating indoors as well as outdoors (heated lamps for the colder months) and offering live music on the weekends.

When a friend told me that she was starting a new job, I immediately sent her a list of possible restaurants for us to celebrate this achievement. To my delight, she selected Urban Roots Brewing and Smokehouse...a restaurant that I have had bookmarked on Yelp for quite some time. Being that Christmas is near, the restaurant was packed with what looked like colleagues having a holiday party accompanied by good food and brews. I ordered the half portion Pork Belly Burnt Ends (so freakin delicious) meal with fries and cornbread (it's carb-loading season). To quench my thirst, I ordered the refreshing Blend In: Tropical ale (I'm not a fan of beer but found this to be quite satisfying). If you're a beer fan, they have a diverse selection. The staff here are very personable and friendly. Towards the end of our visit, who I believe to be either a supervisor or co-owner, retrieved our empty glasses and politely inquired about our dining experience (i.e., satisfaction with the food and drinks). His approach led me to believe that this business truly values the feedback of their customers, which is one of the indications of great management. I look forward to making a return visit in the near future!

I enjoyed what I ordered. The USDA Prime Angus brisket had a good marbling, making it tender and juicy. The seasoned rub they use has a good flavor and aroma. The collard greens were fantastic. The greens were tender yet not overcooked. I loved the cornbread and even the salad was perfect. A complimentary dill pickle was also included with the order. The only problem was I could not get over how pricey everything was here. Half the brisket is only 4 ounces, three thin slices for $10. Even with the addition of two sides, it was not a hearty meal. Everything was delicious but I was disappointed with the $20+ I spent for my total order (half portion of brisket, two sides) because I was still hungry. 3.5 stars. The food was delicious but pricey. The portions could be more generous.

This place was so good! I just wish I had known about it sooner. We were in the area looking for a new spot to try and ended up stumbling across it. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich and a kids' meal with pulled pork and mac and cheese. The portions were the perfect size for us, and we really enjoyed the food. I also got the raspberry lemonade cider, which was delicious and not too sweet. They had a great variety of drinks to choose from too. They were playing good music outside, and the inside had plenty of seating. I am definitely planning to come back on a summer night because I think it would be such a good time. Plus, the outdoor area is dog-friendly! You cannot bring your dog inside, but they are more than welcome to hang out with you outside.

Ordered the sampler menu: Brisket was fantastic , highly recommend the fattier pieces of meat. Nicely flavored, smoky, and goes well with a little sauce The pork belly was tasty, but just too fatty in my opinion. There was barely any meat, mostly just fat. The mac and cheese is good, but really needs to be eaten quickly-- gets a little oily and heavy. After it cools off, it's not as great. The onion rings were solid Apple walnut salad was nice and refreshing, the fried quinoa was a nicely added touch. the pickle was a bit tough and not crisp. The flavor was there, but just not the bite I would have wanted to contrast the smoked and tender meat. Wings were huge portions, very tasty and not too dry. However, I did like it better with the bbq dipping sauce. It's fun to dip into the options of sauces. Great place for group hangouts, lively, but not too crowded. You can still hear one another speaking. Food comes out pretty quickly.

I don't know what took me so long to write a review on this place but since we discovered it we have visited multiple times the food is really good on busy days, on slower days I'd have to admit it's not as hot it seems like. The location is the best, you don't have to struggle to find parking like most places in the area it's in a residential area so it feels kind of private in a way. The ambiance is what keeps us coming back besides the food. We are mostly into Hazys and they honestly don't have the best beer ever but it's okay because I just really like the location and the food. The beer is just okay for me. They have a few IPA' s that are okay but not as hazy as I like honestly. I think they play different genres of music certain days (Atleast that's what we caught on to) I love that! This place is one of our favorite spots in the area. I really like the seating options, they have seating behind the building in front and inside. The customer service is great and the best part is that they're dog friendly (outside only) As you can tell from my pics my gf is wearing different outfits, that's just a few from the many times we've been here.

First time in at Urban Roots. Ordered the pork belly burnt ends. Had great flavor and were juicy. Nice outdoor seating as well as indoor seating. A little pricey for 4 people no beers and still came in at about $120.00 I will go back as I was very happy with the quality of the food

Urban Roots is a great place to hang with friends, whether it's a small group or a larger group. They have plenty of seating and their fast casual service makes it easy to find a spot and send someone up to order. They have indoor and outdoor seating and in the summer heat the misters are on full blast to counteract the heat. They have a lot of great beer on tap, including some collaborations and there's always something new to try. They have bbq available for purchase and self serve bbq sauce is available by the soda dispensers. There is a house sauce, a sweet sauce and a mustard sauce, they're all good, but we wish there was a hot version. We ended up ordering a pulled pork meal that came with two sides, cornbread and a cinnamon butter and we chose the salad and mac and cheese as our sides. We also ordered burnt ends, brisket and some drinks. The beer is always cold, fresh and delicious. The food came out warm, but not right off the bbq hot. The burnt ends were my favorite, but some pieces were chewier than I'd expect- I love it when it's a melt in your mouth experience. The brisket was good, and I tried dipping it in their sauces as well as it on it's own. The pulled pork was a bit dry and we ended up dousing it in the house bbq sauce, which improved it a lot. The salad was underwhelming, but I was really craving some greens with the meat- I probably would go for a different side in the future. The mac and cheese was creamy and saucy and they used curly noodles that were tasty. We ended up buying pineapple/vanilla swirl soft serve for dessert and they even offered rainbow sprinkles. This was a fun dessert. On my next visit I'd be interested in trying some of the sandwich or burger options

A group of us friends like to try new places so we decided to give Urban Roots a try for one of their birthday. We ordered All The Smoke, Smokehouse Nachos with Brisket, additional 1/2 lb ribs & 1/2 lb pork belly burnt ends & mango lemonade slushy (non-alcoholic). Our bill came out to be $205. Food quality was not to our liking and portion was small. Most of all the protein meats were salty. If not salty, then it was too sweet. Nachos had no flavor & cheese was not even melted. The additional $10 we paid for brisket to be added to the nachos was so not worth. French fries and onion rings tasted like it has been made a while and kept warm until serve. Only good thing about this place is the mango lemonade slushy. For that reason, I'm giving this place 2 stars ONLY. So, will we be returning customers, HECK NO!!!

Always a good time! Bbq, pretzel, sides... Everything is delicious. My three year old ate several items and we packed home more so there's plenty to nibble on later.

Urban Roots is not only a great spot for groups but can also be a prime location for date night. There is ample seating both inside and outside. It's very casual. You order food first and take a number with you to your table. Water, soda and sauces are self-serve. I loved how they had all their bbq sauces out and you can grab as much as you wanted without bothering anyone. I'd highly recommend their burnt ends and brisket. I've also had their ribs and Alabama white half chicken. While good, these items didn't wow me like the first two. They have a really nice beer selection. You can get small samples to help you decide what you want. My favorite was their Chocolate Orange Moustache. This spot has good food and amazing vibes. It wasn't too loud and I saw plenty of families here together with their little ones.

The family and I went to this spot because we saw the reviews was on point. So, we were like let's give it a try. So we did. The food wasn't good to me. The Mac n cheese was good, the greens were nasty we left them at the table. The sausage sandwich was trash. Cornbread was really good with that butter. That's was super good. My son didn't like his shrimp nachos, he said it was to much cheese on it. I personally like a lot of cheese, so I would have enjoyed that. The vibe was vibing, the employees was super dope. They were sold out of barbecue. So I do want to try the ribs. The sweet treats is for sure on point. I will see if they got it next time. Until next time.

The young lady with the "K" on her name was super funny and great to talk too, the rest of the staff was pretty dope too. BBQ burger and fries... defiantly will be one of my go to burgers. My only issue isn't bad, but I should've said well done. Pretty busy day, but it was a Saturday. I will go again. Not to loud, but enough to know that people were there and there was a special event going on.

I love this spot. Kid and pet friendly brewery with plenty food options! The bbq is awesome and fairly priced. Plus there is something for everyone to drink... from IPAs, ciders, seltzers, wine, soda. There is a large patio area with plenty seating plus indoor seating as well. You order up front, be prepared there are two lines.... One for food/drinks. However if you just want a beer just walk up to the bar area and avoid the line. Great spot to hang out. We ordered plenty food and all the food was great.

This was our first time here. Service was great overall. The food wasn't all that great. My wings were burnt and difficult to eat. My friend's platter looked better than what I got. My onion rings were cold as well. This place has a lot of potential as it seems like a fun place.

Finally checked out Urban Roots for lunch today. We checked out their food during Covid, but too be honest, I don't really remember how we felt about what we ordered. It's an order at the counter and pick your own seats kind of place. There was lots of seating inside and out -- they even had great shade and misters. Their tables are big enough to share or for larger parties. There were 2 separate lines -- one for food and one for drinks, but both lines moved fairly quickly. They have a good selection of beers and seltzers to choose from and they allow you try samples before you order. I ordered a Blackberry Seltzer that was very good. For food, we ordered different thinks to try like the Pork Ribs, BBQ Burger, Brisket, Burn Ends and a Pretzel. We also ordered Collard Greens, Mac and Cheese, Beans and a Side Salad. Everything was super good! My favorite was the Burnt Ends and Collard Greens. The Pretzel was also very fresh and soft! I love a good brewery and some bbq and this place hits the spot for both! It's a great place to spend a relaxing Saturday or even a date night!

Ordered the pork belly burnt ends and did not like. It seems to be an acquired taste, too much fat on some bites. Bites with little or no fat were way better, good smoke flavor. Food Service was fast, came up quick. Loved the side salad. Went on a Thursday afternoon prior to theater. Sat outside, cool weather, not too crowded, nice arbor. Plan to return and stick to stand-bys.

Great atmosphere food and people. The beers are a plenty and so is the Rose' as well as other wine options. The portions are big and reasonably prices. All the staff is helpful and nice. My fave beer was Luna de Miel. I loved it. They have plenty of communal seating as well as regular tables. Its a very relaxes vibe. Inside and outside seating. We will be back soon. I need to try the soft serve ice cream!!
