Urban Burger Reviews

My expectation to this place was not fulfilled. Just regular Burger's, not more.

We had planned this brunch for a few weeks. We wanted to try a new brunch place so I sent out some suggestions based on food options and google reviews. Clearly google reviews are not always 100% honest. We should have known to walk out the minute we got in the place. We arrived at Urban Burger at 9:55am. There we were greeted with 2 signs on the door. One saying they opened at 9:30am and the other 10am. Well neither were true as the two workers inside finally decided to get off their phones long enough to open the doors at 10:05am despite us clearly standing outside the restaurant. We walked inside and it felt as muggy and humid as an aquarium on a hot day. We sit down and they eventually bring us menus. After about 10 minutes they come take our drink order as we were waiting for one more in our party. We order 2 milkshakes, a coffee, an orange juice and a water, well low and behold they can't handle that as it took almost 15 minutes to get our drinks. In the meantime our 6th party member shows up and orders a water as well. We were still missing waters when they took our food order. We ordered nothing special and nothing hard off the menu.... well at least not for a competent restaurant. Let me tell you all the things they found hard to do; cook an omelette well done, scramble the eggs for the omelette, make french toast that didn't taste like just bread, make rye toast without getting it in powder sugar, actually listen to a vegetarians order instead of suggesting bacon, make a decent cup of coffee... the list goes on and on. Never in my life will I step back in there.

Have you ever felt the presence of a god? Have you ever felt the utopic pleasure of Aphrodite? No, you haven't. Because you haven't been to Urban Burger. This place is a beautiful orchestra of flavors and burger combinations that you can't find anywhere else. Jokes aside, the staff is extremely friendly and the environment is very inviting. The food is delicious beyond comprehension. I went yesterday with my girlfriend and after my visit, I just needed to give them a review. I ordered the "Continental" which consisted of a beef patty, fried egg, taylor ham, american maple cream cheese in between two waffles. It was amazing. My love for this place is almost selfish. Even though I want it on every street corner on a national scale, I feel like having it only there, with that staff, in that location, with those cooks, is whats makes it superb. Don't ever move, don't ever close, don't ever expand, we want to keep you for ourselves. 5 stars. No less. Oh, and have a milkshake, its really damn good.

You can tell they make the burgers fresh I did not have to wait that long for me food either!!!I definitely will come here again and now I know it is a black owned business

Nothing fancy just a great burger in a casual setting

Their food is AMAZING!!!! They have the best chicken fingers ever. They also have terrific french fries. 10/10 recommend

:)

This place has one of, if not the best burgers I've ever had. The service is very friendly and fast. The price is very reasonable too! I get a burger with a free-refill soda for 11 and change. If you are a burger lover like me, you have to try Urban Burger!

The Wicked Blue Burger... Just thinking about it makes me activate the Homer Simpson drool

It's so tasty

Mediocre burger joint. Food was good, atmosphere OK. Decorated like no one had a solid idea on what direction to take it. Food took some time to come out of the kitchen even though it was lunch time and there weren't many people.

Enormous burgers. Employee told me it was 9oz. Being your appetite with you!

Small kitchen means longer wait time (I would know as a work in a small kitchen myself), but it is undeniably worth it. Came once for the grilled cheese and fries, came back again for the cookie dough pancakes. Warning, they're heavier than you think.

Only downside so far was the sausage. It was hard and chewy, with a strange flavor about it that I couldn't place, but I was so full from the pancakes that I didn't miss it.

Shakes are to die for. If anything come for shakes.

Creative burgers that are excellent! Big, juicy and perfectly cooked, every time. From a simple, build-your-own burger to a variety of robust creations that work.

All that and a bag of chips...fries, that is. And milkshakes, too!

Hands down best burgers in NJ!!!! Cooked to order and perfection every time. Well worth the wait. And let me just say, damn..those fried pickles

So disappointed because I haven t had a burger in some time. It didn t come out medium, it was definitely well done, and the cheese fries may have been microwaved.

The shakes are really good which was why I gave the 2 stars, but not much else was good. We had a group of 5 and it seemed everything we tried to order, they were missing ingredients. i.e. a burger on a pepperoni roll, but they were out of pepperoni rolls. The place was virtually empty, yet it took almost an hour to get a few burgers. They're didn't appear to be any management around (on a Friday night no less) and when I paid and the cashier asked how everything was, I explained the above issues. To which she replied "ok". That was it. And that's the last time I'll go to Urban Burger.

I been to so many burger spots and this is by far the best. The size of the burgers are hudge !!!!!! Price is fair also and does compare with similar spots but you still get more for the money at "urban burgs".

The meat is just right I didn't feel tired when I ate it . The bread is from the local bakery literally from across the street and taste delicious. Toppings are fresh and go well with the rest of the burger.

You got to try the continental the waffle and fried egg compliment each other so well and the whole burger goes so well with ham and syrup. But feel free to substitute the waffle with regular bun if you don't want to pass :-) out .

Place is always clean and the staff is great . The owner is very friendly and always says hi and does small talk.

Love it . I dare you to find a better burger spot.

Tasty and unique burgers! Definitely worth the trip.

The urban burger is my fav. I also love the chick sandwich and shakes! The service is good and the inside decor is very cool. Luv it

Very creative and delicious sandwiches.... Nice place to eat.....I like it...

5 star Employees, 5 star Food, 5 star atmosphere. I was super pleased with my stay at Urban Burger. Urban burger is a positive environment with amazing food, and I have personally added this restaurant on my list of favorites whenever I m in jersey! Highly recommended!!

The burger was pretty good. The wait staff was ok. The down side was how long we had to wait to get our order.

Omg! This burger place was a very good choice for a Sunday lunch. When you walk in it feels like you've travel to a burger universe. The walls and tables are nicley decorated. I like their pixelated burger logo on almost everything. I ordered the wicked blue burger. At first I thought it was a plain burger I didn't think of anything out of the ordinary. Then the waiter came and brought me this tower looking meat in a bun. I was surprised. The burger itself was very well designed and it tasted amazing along with the side of fries. I will definitely recommend this place.

I cant comment on the food because I've never ate there but the fact that I had to wait over an hour and fifteen minutes for a Doordarsh delivery is ridiculous. Idk whats going on but thats not acceptable by any means

Burgers are on Point. Fresh with a bunch of choices.

Good place for burgers. A solid choice for adults but not a place for kids. The brie and fig burger is surprisingly tasty. My kids had grilled cheese, but it was made with burger buns, so it was a strange texture. They also were out of the apple slice side listed on their menu, so it came with fries. The kids were happy about that, but I wish the healthier fruit option was available.

Honestly, it s one of the best burger places that I ve been too. The food is consistent every time which is a lot to say for any burger place. They serve other foods as well however, such as fries, shakes, brunch, and much more. I ve been a regular here for quite some time now. When I m in the mood for a burger, this is my go to place. You won t be disappointed and the renovate of the place looks even better.

Just ran into this place... I will definitely travel 30 miles to go back.. again and again..

Ordered two burgers with fries. Costs $26. Took 25 min wait time with no one in the place. Asked for medium but got a burnt hockey puck. The onion rings on the burger had the thickest driest batter i have ever had. The bread was dry. Asked for sweet potato fries and got regular fries. Oh and I asked for the burgers to go and they came out on trays.

Excellent service. Evelin had a great attitude. Food came out fast. I got it exactly how I wanted. Would definitely recommend. I also recommend getting a shake.

food was amazing! the grilled cheese is a great size and is so cheesy. My server was great too, very positive and funny. I highly recommend this place for weekend fun !

Great experience here. Burger was substantial (most normal people would consider it HUGE, it's about the size I expect at a place like this), prepared well (would have preferred it a bit more rare) and a terrific combination (it was the Hefer Smothered in Onions). Fries were tasty and hot. Parking (metered) was available right nearby but likely would be a challenge at peak times. Service was a teeny bit slower than I expected but that just gave us time to relax and enjoy the meal. Smallish number of seats, so it probably fills up quickly at peak times. Friendly wait staff. Recommended. I'd eat there again!

Food is excellent but in need of more staff to help with the service.

I ate there last Friday. I ordered my burger well done, my husband wanted his medium. His burger was well done and mine was very pink. I took a few bites in and discovered the pink color. I asked them to fix it because I wouldn't eat it. Then slipped my burger back on their grill , that I had bitten from, then put it back on the bun in a sloppy way with toppings thrown everywhere. I know it goes back on a hot griddle but that doesn't seem sanitary to me. I thought they would make me a new burger. Used to love this place but I'm second guessing returning there again.

It's a cool place but it gets pricey if you add toppings or order something extra. The onion rings were awful last time I went... The burger was tasty but kept falling apart and the meat wasn't cooked to the temperature I asked for. Not a huge fan of their sauces or shakes either.. but their grilled cheeses and fries are to die for!

I just came home from eating at Urban Burger for the first time and had to write a review right away. This place is amazing!!! My friend and I were having a miserable morning but we left Urban Burger feeling like we were on cloud nine. After having one bite of the food, our moods instantly changed. It's hard to think about your problems when the food is that insanely good. If the rest of the day doesn't go my way, it's great to know that I made at least one good decision today. We ordered the BB Mac and a Krabby Patty. Saying it tasted good is an understatement. The BB Mac and Krabby Patty is just happiness and good vibes in the form of food. The people who work there were very welcoming and friendly. The furniture setup and decor creates a very comfortable environment. My friend and I will definitely be coming back!!! We <3 Urban Burger!!!

Gem next to my job! Burgers are juicy and service is great. Can t wait to eat again even though I feel guilty :)

Everything here is awesome! The burgers, crab cakes, veggie burger, grilled cheese, shakes....even the salads leave me wanting more!!! I can go there and be healthy with a delicious salad that actually fills me up or have a burger that instantly lifts my spirits! Everyone is so friendly and helpful too. Thank you for being my favorite place ever!

Highly recommend good meat for the burgers. Cool combinations with flavor and a nice chill area to eat. Good price on the food. Various fries to get and combos to eat. If you are looking for a enjoyable and filling burger this is a great spot.

Great burger! Service was lacking though:( friendly but slow...although they need to rethink the batter for the onion rings not very good.. more like a plaster base:( I'm still giving 4 stars after they brush off the cob webs it seems like a great spot to sit and converse plus they have a wall projector with good movies to keep you entertained:)

stopped by here with a friend per my husband's recommendation and we absolutely loved it. Its super cute and the music was great. So different from most burger joints. It's a cute little spot in adorable cranford. On top of all of that, the food was delicious. I had the Hit burger with sweet potato fries and my friend had the chicken and waffles sandwich. While my burger was really good, that chicken and waffle sandwich was EVERYTHING!

The burgers were pretty good, the menu a bit confusing.

Mozzarella sticks are a must try! Loved watching Forrest Gump while having dinner! Service was good too.

Great service, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The burgers were delicious and the shakes were tasty.

It was clean..got my food in a timely fashion n they were nice

I've been here in the past, not sure if they've changed owners but the food wasn't the same. Not bad but not great

Great burger in cool location!

We stopped on way to jet-giant game. Great start to amazing weekend. Staff is amazing. Can't wait to come back. Too many burger choices to try in one stting!

One of the best burgers I ve ever had!!! I got the Ladder 31 and damn, it was goooood! The bun was so fresh, the beef pattie was so thick and super tasty, and French fries great! They give you so much! The whole burger stayed in one piece all the way, nothing was coming out, just perfect.(don t know how they did it) I didn t want to stop eating :-D I ll definitely come back! Best burger!!
I even got Mac and cheese for my son and it was yummy!
Ohh and the stuff was helpful and really nice.

Great burgers. Hot and juicy!!!!!!!!!! Basic paper bag style eating on metal trays in a B- level cafeteria style setting. Burgers are worth it.

Burgers are huge and I usually split one and fries with whoever I'm going with. BYOB is a nice touch.

My favorite burger place!!!!
Big portions, delicious burger and mac and cheese ! I also love their milkshake

The burger patties are high quality but the bun is very dry and takes away the pleasure of eating the high quality ingredients.

Boylan soda on tap

One of the juiciest burgers I ve had in a long time. First time trying this place and fell in love! Lincoln Continental is a no-brainer!!!

Amazing home made veggie burger and fries pickles The chef Peppin is on point .Great place for Veggieterians .

The place is small and cramped. The tables are not cleared until someone else needs to use the table. It took about 15 minutes to receive the water we ordered. 45 minutes for the food. 3 sandwiches total. They weren't busy. People got their food in spurts at no time did any table get their full order at once.
No one checked on us, did we need a refill, anything else... better service at McDonalds....
The burgers were ok, we ordered the wicked blue which is blue cheese dressing and siracha. The onion rings that top it were too thick. The blue cheese was lacking blue cheese. The medium burger was well done.
We also ordered the your momma chicken and waffle sandwich with Doritos crusted chicken, chipolte mayo and pepper jack cheese.
The chipolte mayo needed to be scraped off. The waffle was so sweet (it was a delicious waffle) it couldn't be eaten with the chicken but separate was delish and the chicken did not taste like it was Doritos encrusted.
We went here after seeing it featured recently on a best of NJ and presentation wise everything is pleasing but overall what a let down.

Great burger place that offers free basic toppings (lettuce, tomato, onion) grass fed organic beef.

Best cheese fries I have ever had.

Extensive menu.

Nice staff. Very accommodating.

Good atmosphere.

The only complaint is their location, not very easy to get a place to park.

Service was good, food wasn't worth $14 to me. Burger was dry, onion rings weren't done all the way, my milkshake was the best I've ever had. But the server made that, and she was awesome, really cute too. But I'm not going back, bc it's not good enough to have to pay a meter to park and get mediocre food.

Amazing burgers cooked perfectly. Not too busy at 1pm on a Sunday - sat right down and was served quickly. Try the Ladder 31 it's delicious!

Placed a 40 dollar order to be delivered, sandwich only had chicken on half of it, when i called to let them know what happened, they said they couldn't do anything unless i brought the sandwich in and showed them. If i could go there, do you think i would have placed an order for delivery! Im in a wheelchair.

Will never return. After waiting 35 minutes for a fresh cooked burger, the waitress informed us that she forgot to turn in our order. This was ten minutes after she came by our table and noticed we did not yet have our food. She said, "Well it takes a while." The waitress has cost Urban Burger these three customers. And we will tell our friends about this awful experience. (This review has one star only because a star had to be selected in order to post.)

One of the very best burgers I ve had in Jersey. The atmosphere with the music and decor adds even more appeal. Will continue to be a repeat customer every time I find myself in Jersey. Have told numerous friends and they have had the same reaction. Urban Burgers has created something special.

It's food is really good and filling and the people are easy to talk to.

Place used to be great a while back. Not so much anymore. Food quality sucks now

Fantastic place for a fatty burger and indulgent shake :)

Great place to go and eat some delicious burgers... the vibe is very inviting and the service is friendly and welcoming...i will definitely be eating there again...

Burger was very thick but tasted great. They were out of sweet potato fries which was did as disappointing. Regular fries were ok. The grilled chicken sandwich was AMAZING! It was such a nice surprise !

Amazing burgers the liberty bell, wicked blue and speedy are my all time favorites. Apart from amazing burgers the atmosphere is very chill and artsy.

Waited 20 min for an order of mozzarella sticks. What a joke.
