Our family has been at Urban Plates multiple times and we consistently have a great experience. We particularly like their burgers and steak plates. The steak is always so tender and so soft that they don’t even have steak knives! Great place for a casual meal and great menu options.

“Fast-casual” done right. Really good food, quick service, and left feeling full and great about what we ate. Extra appreciation to the staff for redoing an entire order of ours after getting it plated.

Love bringing my family here to urban plates in Delmar Highlands. Tyler grew up here played rugby at Torrey Pines in Mustangs. He'll take care of you!

Definitely recommend coming here for healthy food for the family instead of all the fast food shit.
