Today we had a great experience at urban bbq. this personally was my first time dining in but this is one of my boyfriends favorite spots . He loves bbq! So driving today i figured why not give him a treat and we were not disappointed ! upon walking in hostess were very kind and courteous , excellent customer service . I could tell staff was knowledgeable on all foods and also down to earth relatable. The bar was full because of st Patrick's day. we ordered nachos for appetizer . the meat was so... tender it broke from my fork. the chili was seasoned wonderfully and delicious . BF ordered half ribs and sausage , mac and cheese and cornbread x everything was delicious and all of the sauces were cheek tingling delicious. I ordered the chicken sandwich with cubano on top. Wow. we got so full so quickly ! the fries resemble five guys fries . Everything was piping hot and tasty and we both had happy bellies. I definitely enjoyed my food ! Next time we crave bbq coming here ! Show all

Soooo, I'm driving right. And I feel a little rumble in my tummy. ITS GO TIME. I mean LUNCH TIME. I boots up my nifty Yelp! app and see what's afoot.
BBQ aye? I could go for that.
So I park go in. I was greeted immediately, directed to order to-go orders at the bar, I was help swiftly at the bar.
The service was decent.
The food is really good. I ordered pulled chicken with bbq sauce and cole slaw. I also got fries.
The food is really good. Did I say that already?
In short. Go eat ther...e! Show all

Portions were not cheap!! Meat was cooked just right. I got the meat sampler with 3 meats and it was perfect to really try all you can without paying top dollar at a restaurant. I'd like to especially give a shoutout to TJ who put up with my infinite questions and still keeping a smile. Great attitude, knowledgeable, and really made it a great and welcome experience for my first time. I'd 100% definitely come back.

I went to Urban Bar-B-Que for the third time today in order to take advantage of their Tuesday special on pork ribs. They sell a full slab of pork ribs after 4 pm on Tuesdays for $12.00. This slab usually sells for $22.95. I ordered a full slab, collard greens, french fries and a soda. Here are my comments:

1. Ribs. The ribs are slow-smoked in a smoker and then stored in the restaurant and re-heated on a propane stove when ordered. The slow-smoke was clearly done by a master because yo...u could tasted the smokiness all the way through and the meat had the tell-tale pink that says smoked to perfection. Unfortunately, the re-heating process left a taste of propane on the meat. These ribs would get an A+ if they were fresh from the smoker and had no taste of propane on them. As they are, they are still really good and I give them an A-.

2. Collard Greens. They make the best collard greens I have ever tasted. I give them an A+.

3. French Fries. The fries were good. They were hot, crisp and the right thickness. Also, they did not weigh the fries down with sprinkled on barbecue powder like some BBQ restaurants do. I give them an A.

My biggest complaint about Urban Barbecue is the price. I paid $3.00 for the two sides and $2.29 for the soda. With sales tax, that adds up to $5.61. The $12.00 plus Maryland sales tax for a slab of ribs is a bargain, but it is only available on Tuesdays after 4 pm. I paid over $18 for my meal which I view as a bargain. However, that same meal would usually cost approximately $30. I would be really unhappy about tasting propane on my ribs if I had paid $30 for my meal. That is why I give them 4 stars instead of 5.

Fabulous atmosphere and great food that is reasonably priced. Love their atomic sauce, yella and Carolina sauces. For a BBQ place their shrimp basket was fresh and delicious. The cocktail sauce was so-so but I used the atomic sauce for a kick. Love!
