Disappointed. This place has a lot of potential but lousy execution. Food was decent at best. We were there on a Sunday for brunch, and I was a little leery when the parking lot was empty. We ended up being the only customers during the entire 90 minute meal. Appealing menu but they missed the mark with my chicken and waffles. My waffle was basic, with shredded cheddar cheese, and 4 tiny chicken wings. Basically bar food for entree price. I would not recommend ordering the dish. The wings were decent but when I requested ranch, it took forever. The server returned finally and apologized for the delay. She told me they had to run to the grocery store next door, to buy more ranch. Yikes! They also didn't have any kind of hot sauce. The restaurant was nice on the inside, and we were excited to learn about kareoke and other events, since we live nearby... but we won't be returning for that. The food and service was disappointing, and seemed over priced for what we received. This restaurant seems neglected and needs some TLC.

Maybe I went on a bad day but this place sucked, it’s never a good sign when your waitress asks you if you know anyone that’s interested in joining the cooking staff. The biscuits and gravy was decent that day and heads up most dishes are served with just one egg. ?♂️ Not worth going for the food as the waitresses were not that interested in serving anything besides mimosas.?

Let me start off with the people there are sweet and kind however, the food is lacking and it took us forever to get our food. We arrived there at 1 and were sat down immediately. It took about 10 minutes to get our drink and about 30-40 minutes to get our food. Well 50 minutes to get ALL the food. At first the three kids waffles (one single waffle with no sides) arrived and it was still another 15 minutes before we received the other dishes (two Philly cheesesteaks, one eggs Benedict, one waffle and chicken). The Philly cheesesteak lacked in flavor. The chicken was chewy which was a weird consistency to look past. We had also ordered an appetizer but that wasnt even delivered by the time we got our food so we just canceled it. We had to ask for knifes because there wasn’t any and we asked for napkins two different times but didn’t get any. Such simple things but definitely adds to the frustration during the experience. The cook came out and apologized for the amount of time it took for the food to come out but there was about only three other tables there. Hopefully they get another cook to help as I think this could help them with delivering the food at a better time.

My family and I booked reservations for Father's Day for 10am, the time when the restaurant was supposed to open. The restaurant opened like 15 mins late, which by itself isn't a big deal, but once we got seated, things just continued to get worse. Our orders for the drinks were taken after about 15 mins of being seated, and they weren't fully handed out until we asked if they were still on there way, almost an hour later. At that point they told us they were unable to make certain drinks, and they still had not even taken our food orders yet. We were the second ones in the door, and one of the three parties that were there. No one else seemed to receive much service for the hour either. We ended up leaving after waiting for about an hour and it really soured the start of our father's day. Seems like you're taking a gamble if you choose to eat here...

This was a terrible dining experience. We waited 2 full hours and left before we even got one of the entrees we ordered. The other food came out semi cold, poorly cooked, and missing side items. We kept being told different things about what was holding the food up - and eventually when we just wanted to know how many minutes it was “it’s soon”, then “the biscuits came out of the oven - they’re being made fresh”, “they’re still working on the biscuits.” And then finally when we insisted on knowing how many minutes, we were told 5 definitely, then 10 minutes later the waitress came back to say they’re still working on the biscuits. At that point (2 hours in), I left hungry.Management took just $10 off our bill and did not charge for the biscuits & gravy but was not apologetic and seemed to have an attitude that we were annoyed at the long wait/other issues.Another group (who also waited 1.5+ hours and got their whole bill comped) told us that the gravy was thick like it had just been sitting for a long time and the biscuits were from a tube - not made fresh.Will never return - do not recommend.

We dined here a couple of weeks ago, the food was well seasoned, great portions, good and hot!! So awesome that we asked to see the cook! His name was Richard, a very humble young man?? We hope to get him and his cooking again.

Love Thursday night Karaoke night. Love the atmosphere however the service is not up to standard. Waited 1 hour to get my food, waiting staff friendly but never comes back to check on your table unless they are bringing you the bill or food. Someone in our party got their bill before their food after waiting over an hour. I couldn’t even get napkins which is standard. I have been plenty times and just stop ordering food cause the kitchen staff must have to hunt and kill what is served it takes so long. Food actually taste okay. I was baffled at my chicken wings tonight. More like chicken nubs the end bones had been cut off on all but 2 pieces. I ate it cause I was hungry and fear of waiting another hour for fresh food. I love to support Black Owned businesses but we must do better in this establishment. Again Karaoke Thursdays is great and it’s a hidden gem just needs better service, more staff, more cooks and more hospitality.

All I can say is the food was cooked with passion and love. The meat was tender and all the sides were well seasoned. My family and I enjoyed the night out. The owner and staff were friendly and made us feel right at home.
The food that was available was decent. The staff were friendly and helpful.The online ordering is an issue. They have an online system that takes orders, bills the credit card, and sends emails. The staff say the system doesn't work and they can't see it. I've tried calling with no success to get this refunded.When ordering in person, a good chunk of the menu was out of stock by 6pm.It's okay if you're close by and in person but i can't recommend it with so many other options around.

First time having dinner and wasnt disappointed. Kudos to the Chef for talking with us and accommodating our food requests. Catfish nuggets, sweet potatoe fries, Wings, Shrimp and Grits, all very good and cooked with lots of flavor! All the servers were very friendly and made our visit fun! Great happy hour drinks! Another added bonus was the owner stopped by our table to thank us for coming in. Great place, felt appreciated and welcomed! Will be back!

It was an okay experience.. I nearly walked out because no one greeted me and thought I had come too early. The waiter was great, but overall I’ve had better experiences at a restaurant.I also came during the happy hour and expected some information about it. I wasn’t really feeling the vibe here. I most likely won’t be coming anytime soon.

How do you mess up toast? The Urban Grill did as it was grilled not toasted (tasted like grilled in a dirty pan). They were out of almost everything upon arrival. Waited to order too long. We are local people looking for a new breakfast place. Food blah.. This is not it!!
Jennifer Gustavo Rodriguez
We wanted to try a new place and I'm so glad we tried The Urban Corner. The catfish tacos and catfish po boy sandwich was bomb! Such great flavor, extremely reasonably priced and just a chillax vibe. We'll definitely be back...we look forward to checking out karaoke and the DJ over the weekend...and more food, of course!
Good food and friendly staff. Will be back.
