Urban Cookhouse

This place has become a regular spot for me for lunch! I’m a bit of a creature of habit so when I found a plate that I liked I literally order it about 3 times a week. With that being said I normally order the chicken special and it always hits the spot! Service is quick and friendly and the atmosphere always seems to pleasant no matter how busy they might be. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for lunch… they also allow you to call in your orders ahead of time for the inpatient customer lol

Amazing food with a great staff! The staff was very informed and gave me great suggestions since most of had not eaten her before. I had the shrimp and it was amazing. Each type of meat had a different flavor and was out of this world.
The salad was fresh and crisp, not like many salads I have had before.
I would recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great meal. It is great to eat at a place that cares this much about their food and customers!

«Okay, caution, there is a dangerous smell, people. Hold on, what is that? That is not brightly colored or shaped like a dinosaur, hold on guys… it’s… broccoli!» — Inside Out (2015)
I really wanted to like this place — so much. The concept is a good one and it’s in the new Sandy Springs Gateway Center. The reviews for here are great, so I have to ask myself, what the heck are these people eating that we didn’t?
15 of us came in on a Saturday at noon — UC has an order at the counter, get your number and go sit down and they will bring your food to the table (think Fresh 2 Order). They tout that all their meats (the pork, steak, shrimp and turkey, anyway) are cooked on a big green egg using lump charcoal and hickory wood. They also state that they use the freshest ingredients by buying from local farmers, including hosting a local farmer’s market. Understanding this premise, you, too, would want to eat here.
I commandeered a large table in the back that seated 10, and a booth next to it, and the staff was cool with it. Turns out the place was never overly packed, so us taking up the back tables was not a big deal. Once half of us had arrived, we started ordering (so as not to tax the kitchen). The line was a bit long with only one cashier, so a 2^nd woman came to the counter to start taking orders (I later found out this was the restaurant manager). I stepped up to her and placed my order — I opted for The Cookhouse wrap. This came with a side. I asked for a list of sides and she passed me a menu. I asked if the Broccoli Salad had tree nuts — she said «just sunflower seeds» — so I ordered that. I also picked up a blondie brownie. I asked the same question and explained I was deathly allergic. She told me again, no tree nuts. She gave me my number and I sat down.
My food came out within a couple of minutes — record time in fact. I would say that overall, the service was quite good with the amount of people we had and how quickly the food came to the table. Occasionally people came by and cleared plates. Luckily, Angela M also ordered the broccoli salad and took a bite just as I was about to. She immediately alerted me to the presence of pecans. I went to the front and found my cashier, Betty. I explained the situation and she repeated that the salad only had sunflower seeds. I told her again that I didn’t want to die in the restaurant (note, until I got home, I didn’t know she was a manager). She asked the kitchen about the salad and the first 2 people said no nuts, and then the kitchen manager said yes it did. I’m sorry, WHAT?! Then she said, «you’re allergic?» I stated again that I would die. She offered me another side, so I had to ask her what they had. I opted for the cheddar pasta (read mac n cheese).
So the food — the wrap was good. Basically a BLT with turkey and ham and a vinaigrette. It was nothing to write home about, but it was light and tasty enough, but the meat was not that good; overly smokey and the texture was a bit dry. The cheddar pasta was okay, but cold. I might get the wrap again, but not the pasta. Obviously, I wouldn’t get the broccoli again (I was told I didn’t miss anything).
I called the restaurant when I got home and asked for a manager. I got Betty and was telling her the story when she explained that I ordered from her and she was sorry. How does a manager not know there are pecans in the broccoli salad? She said she would email corporate about fixing the paper menus. I asked for the staff to be properly trained. I had to stress how they could have killed me and she just kept apologizing, but I’m not sure she really understood the gravity of the situation. Maybe if I had eaten the salad…
I would give the service (except for my ordering) 4 stars. My interaction and management of a severe and deathly allergy, 1 star. The food, 2.5 stars.
One note: They have updated the website today to show the broccoli salad has «nuts.»

Came here for lunch yesterday, and I have to say, the food here is amazing! Great portions, and friendly service. I wished I lived closer.

Really good, solid addition to the Roswell RD area! I got the Down Home (turkey, ham/​pineapple, broccoli salad and mac&cheese) and every part of it was great. The décor of the restaurant was super cute, and I love their color scheme. Will absolutely be back :)

Heathy, tasty dinner meals. Open dinning. Grab alcoholic drink. Clean and friendly staff. Want easy dinner option, good place to try.

Really good food! Awesome beer on tap (and in the fridge). I ordered the Shrimp Kabob and it was well seasoned and cooked to perfection.
Don’t skip the Cheddar Pasta. It’s very delicious. Unexpectedly so.

Located in the same plaza as the new Sprouts market in Sandy Springs/​Buckhead area. Came here for lunch and it was kind of empty, probably because it’s still fairly new and still trying to establish a customer base.
Right when you walk in you can smell the grilling of the meat, on the website it mentions they grill all their meat on a Green Egg! Everything on the menu is cooked to order and fresh. A meal and drink will roughly cost $ 10 which isn’t bad for the portion and quality in food you’re getting. Turkey crunch sandwich was really good with their grilled veggies. The grilled veggies may have been a tad too salty for my taste, but overall I enjoyed it.
Also, their sweet tea is one of the best I’ve ever had! They also sell a variety of craft beers and wine.

Went here for a quick bite with my boss! Delicious without that feeling of eater’s remorse. Everything was fresh tasting and well paired. Will definitely come up there for lunch more often.

Finally got to try this place and it is going to become one of our regular spots! From the moment we walked in until the moment we walked out, the staff took exceptional care of us. We sat at the bar where Chanita was our server. Since it was our first time, she explained the menu and told us about the fan favorites — she even let us sample some of the sides so we could make a decision. The food is very reasonably priced and they also have a good selection of wine and beer. I was there with three other people and every meal was delicious! Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Absolutely can’t miss! The food was awesome, the staff was great! and the Manager, Johan, even hooked us up with a surprise dessert! Thanks Urban Cookhouse! Hope to see you again! #urbancookhouse #localgem

Good atmosphere but they should rename this place the Ratchet Cookhouse based on the portion sizes. Someone should be held criminally negligent for allowing the word ‘sandwich’ to follow ‘braised pork’ on the menu. Even calling that thing a slider would be an aggrandizement. Growing boys take heed!

This was a good spot; refreshing food and good beer! The prices were fair as well. I had a grilled chicken wrap with fruit and feta and a side of warm pilaf. It was delicious. Both myself and my friend got a similar dish just salad vs wrap. I’d like to explore the rest of their menu for dinner.

My wife and I had heard great things about Urban Cookhouse and gave it a try for lunch today. From the moment you walk in, this feels unique, a cool urban design, open and inviting. Its casual and trendy and you pick up right away their emphasis on locally sourced products and better for you meals. The menu has a lot of variety to satisfy many different tastes.
I had the Lime infused steak and my wife had a salad with grilled chicken. Both dishes were very freshly prepared and the portion sizes were generous.
Each meal was under $ 10 and a real value. They have wine and beer.
Service was very engaging and friendly and helpful deciding what to order.
We’ll definitely be back and will bring friends.
Thanks to the young lady behind the counter for her warm personality today at lunch.

Wow, just wow! Great food, ambience, service and even handspun milkshakes! We were super happy with what we got; the Berry Good Salad with Chicken Salad and The Home Down. The chicken salad was delicious, so was the cheddar pasta and those orange rolls are the best! We are definitely coming back.

Good food. Good people. Chy and Josh were amazing. And they have a drive through. Definitely coming back!

Living close to this place makes it easy to stop in, however that’s not why I do. The simplicity of Urban Cookhouse brings me back every time! The food is naturally delicious! What you will not find at Urban Cookhouse is hyped up food with fancy names that you can’t pronounce. What you will find is sure good eatin! :). Awesome prices, awesome service, awesome food, great beer selection!!! And most importantly those orange rolls mmm mmm mmm!

Work off of Roswell Road, and have been here about 6 times since it opened. Never disappoints, but today, I had the best lunch i’ve had in years today (2.29.16). Lime marinated steak and rice was amazing, not to mention it was only $ 8.95! I use a Big Green Egg at home frequently. At first i thought the Egg in the kitchen was only for show, but after eating the steak, i can assure you it was cooked on it. The taste off the egg is unmistakable. Hope these guys are successful and they can keep the prices right where they are.

I had this for the first time and absolutely loved it. I got the shrimp kabobs which came with salad, an orange roll, and rice pilaf. Everything was cooked to perfection, but the rice was my favorite part. I wasn’t in the mood to drink but I noticed a couple people having a beer and relaxing while watching the game. Definitely getting your money’s worth!

The advertising and website make it seem like you’re going to get quality, locally sourced ingredients. This place is on the same level as an Applebee’s. No Bueno.

I absolutely love this place. I have eaten here more times than I can count and I have never been disappointed. Their food is always fresh, taste amazing and you can’t beat the price. They cook their meat on Big Green Eggs, and for anyone that is an egg lover you won’t be disappointed. Some of the restaurants in town promote cooking on the egg but realistically only cook one or two things on it. Their eggs are right in the kitchen and I’m pretty sure they cook all their meat on them.
They have a great beer selection, lots of seating and patio seating once it warms up. They also have two large screen TV’s that you can watch from the bar area. The other thing I love is that I can go sit down at the bar, eat my meal, have a beer, watch whatever sports is on and leave not smelling like a sports bar. This is definitely a plus.
You can go in and have a meal for around $ 10 and I noticed one person comment on the portion sizes. If the amount they severe you is not enough that means you are overeating.

They have very great staff (chantay and chy), and make it easily possible to try items on the menu. Very good food, drinks, great personalities, fresh food, localized farming, and very good selections.

Great casual restaurant that is convenient to home. Food is simple but well executed. Prices are great and they even carry local craft beers. Clean and open space. Great for a regular dinner or lunch spot during the week

Very good food, great service, lots of different options. The pulled pork is extremely tender. Highly recommend trying this place.

Fantastic new fast casual spot near Chastain. I had the Pepper Patch salad with lime marinated steak… absolutely delicious (don’t let the name fool you, the only «pepper» in the salad was the pepper jack cheese). The staff was very helpful and friendly. They also have a take out window for call ahead orders. This will definitely be a go-​to place for my family.

Fresh food with quick service (less than 5 mins)! We tried the awesome Urban Cowboy sandwich, peanut butter fluff sandwich and chicken salad — all were a big hit. Looking forward to coming back in Warmer weather to enjoy the patio. Although they did forget about our cookie and after we waited over 20 mins and then inquired they put it in right away.

Awesome new «fast casual» spot near Chastain. The food is great especially the Cubano sandwich. The meats are cooked on Big Green Eggs in the kitchen. Very family friendly and kids dishes come with potato stix! The staff is super friendly and attentive. The prices are great and they have a nice patio for when the weather gets nice. Excellent beer and wine selection too. Highly recommend!

Amazing food. The berry salad was great. Was more than enough for lunch. And the orange rolls are to die for.

The salads and the grilled chicken are amazing! Dressings are absolutely fabulous. The rolls are to die for. Will be back many, many times!

This is a MUST TRY. Urban cookhouse has delicious food and great beers on tap. I have gone here probably 4 or 5 times since it opened a few weeks ago and I have never been disappointed. The staff is so friendly and the food is always quick. They also have a pick up window for call ahead orders if you’re on the go. I highly recommend urban cookhouse and everyone needs to check it out !

Love the concept and the use of the Big Green Eggs. Also loved the menu items (and craft beer selection). The biggest disappointment was in the portion sizes. It seems like Urban is going for a price point on the menu of under $ 10, but in doing so, the plates are lacking (particularly with respect to the amount of actual meat you get). I’d gladly pay more for a more hearty entrée here, but doesn’t seem like that’s what they’re going for.

Ok. First time here and it’s pretty new. I had a wrap and a beer. Yum!!! Atmosphere is great and the staff is incredibly friendly. Only thing I would change is the music… lulls you to sleep, doesn’t fit décor… I want another beer, but tunes relaxed me into wanting a nap more than a beer. Oh my, say it isn’t so. Will definitely come back.

Had a long hard day? Urban cookhouse is the place to unwind. Quick fantastic food. I got the cookhouse wrap with hot cheddar pasta. Everything was fresh and fast. Beers on tap and a plethora of craft beers. Beer isn’t for you… Well they got wine lined up. OMG The half baked cookie is amazing. It’s exactly what you think it is, gooey doughy hot out of the oven cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. We also split a strawberry lemonade milkshake which was surprisingly delicious and fresh. Kind of like a strawberry milkshake with a zest of lemon. Highly recommend. The staff is extremely friendly. This will definitely be our spot for a long time.
Definitely recommend!

I got the berry salad with chicken salad on top. Absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I topped it off with a homemade fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade and for dessert — a brown sugar chocolate chip brownie! Absolutely heaven!!! This will be my new lunch spot in Sandy Springs, GA. Fresh and local eats for a great price! Staff is excellent and three of them went out of their way to speak to me and even offer me samples of some menu items! Excellent customer service!

Tried this for the first time today. Fantastic! The food is fresh and flavorful. My El Cubano sandwich was stacked with juicy meat and homemade pickles. The strawberry lemonade was amazing. I will be back!
