About Urban Grub - steak house in Nashville, Tennessee
Stylishly rustic eatery with an extensive raw bar serving Southern & seafood specialties.
Customer Review Summary
Urban Grub is praised for its excellent food, particularly the medium rare pork chop and lobster curry, both cooked to perfection. The restaurant has a fun atmosphere with a large bar and open seating, though there can be a wait for brunch even with reservations. Guests enjoy complimentary mini biscuits and muffins, and the drink selection, especially the white sangria and Bloody Mary, is well-liked. Brunch offers a buffet with a variety of fresh seafood and charcuterie, though outdoor dining can be marred by bees or flies. Service is generally praised as fantastic and accommodating, with servers providing helpful recommendations. Some diners noted that while the majority of the food is very good, there were occasional inconsistencies with steak preparation and bread quality. Overall, it's highly recommended for those in the area but not necessarily a destination for brunch. Urban Grub is stated to be a top choice in Nashville, offering diverse, high-quality dishes and a welcoming vibe.

Great food, medium rare Philly and burger cooked perfectly. The pork fries were okay, literally pork that was fried, like small chicken nuggets. Fun atmosphere, still a wait for brunch despite having reservations. Free valet. Large bar with open seating.

Good vibe. Sat at the bar. Service was fantastic. Chicken and waffles were decent but nothing mind blowing. Also the chicken piece is not as big so be mindful. You get free mini biscuits and muffins. Good taste. Got the frozen painkiller which was decent. I also got the white sangria which was my favorite. Got a taste of the frozen margarita and it wasn't anything special but not bad either. If you're in the area, definitely come here to eat. But not a spot to go out of the way to visit for brunch.

2nd Visit: Sunday Brunch All day Sunday brunch menu with a "buffet" that you can choose that has fresh oysters, shrimp and grits, charcuterie selections, salads etc that is pretty good. The food was great, the biscuits were good as ever. Only drawback.. the bees and flies in the outside area. Reservations are always recommended. 1st review: Man we loved our dinner at Urban Grub. Reservations are encouraged, but we got in and ate at the Oyster bar area with no problems. Place was busy so our service was prompt and in short bursts but understandable. Food was excellent from the bread to the strong drinks to the yummy oysters and fish. Everything was wonderful and I look forward to the next trip. Meal can be pricey so be ready for that.

We started with Champagne and oysters. We were celebrating a college graduation. We got seated in an octagon area with a fire table. It was a great spot that felt intimate. Our server was amazing. She did a wonderful job of explaining the menu. She was really good at helping us add the extras. We had a wide array of food. She suggested the pork chop as the best pork chop ever. She was 💯 % correct. It was about 3 inches thick and cooked to a perfect medium temperature. A few of us had shrimp and grits. She also highly recommended that, as did one guest that had eaten here previously. I was the only one who added the sausage. It was tasty, but mine was cold. I did not complain. I'm sure she would have remade it if I had told her it was cold. The Lobster Curry was amazing 👏. It was so delicious! The filet was tasty and cooked well also. For the sides, we tried the Mac and Cheese, mashed potatoes, purple potatoes, brussel sprouts, and beet salad. Everything was wonderful. The ONLY improvement we all thought was needed was the bread 😆. The bread was not to the standard of this amazing restaurant.

We made a reservation in advance for our friend’s birthday. And glad we did. Place is packed and there is a good reason for it - it is superb! We were sited in a private table-booth… although there also options to sit at the bar, raw bar, outside with fireplace or regular table. Selection of menu is vast and tasty! From raw bar to aged steaks!!! We ordered a 32oz porterhouse, oysters, crab cakes and few other sides! Honorable mention to brussle sprouts!!! Big shout out to our wonderful server Kailey (hope i spelled her name correctly) who went out of her way to make our dinner pleasant and never lost a smile! When i asked to cook my portion of a steak a little more as i like my meat medium well, while everyone else wanted rare - she accommodated without a hitch. While not cheap - certainly worth the experience. Top notch bar and dry-aging room with hamon and dry meats are a great attraction! Fireplace outside is also available if you want to cozy up by the fire! Thank you Urban Grub and Kailey

Everything except steaks were really good. 2 of our 4 steaks came out cooked incorrectly and 1 steak could have used some salt. Even when bringing out steaks they verbally said the wrong cooking temps when setting steaks down. Everything else at the dinner was phenomenal. But, the main dish having issues really put a damper on this place. Especially when our bills were over $100 each. Shouldn't have had to deal with those issues.

Urban grub never disappoints. Their seafood and charcuterie bar on Sundays is amazing. Today Drew took fantastic care of us. We had the burger, one of the best in Nashville, and also the S & C Bar. It is always amazing. The drinks were phenomenal also. The Bloody Mary is one of the best in town. Thanks Urban Grub!!! Super Awesome place!!! Had the Burratta appetizer. Red Snapper was amazing! The double cut pork chop was phenomenal!! Bourbon list was a little smaller but the prices were right on. Chocolate Mousse Cake topped it all off nicely!!!

First of all, I absolutely love that Urban Grub is pup friendly. Manager Mike and his entire foh and boh team are all on point and amazing! We’ve been here at least ten times but last night they really helped me out when they went above and beyond to help me find my wallet I lost. I appreciate the whole team so much! The food at Urban Grub is the best in Nashville, so much diversity, the ever changing seasonal menu is impressive to say the least. Good preparation, presentation, and food quality are absolute perfection every time. Drinks are amazing and have the perfect kick. Consistent quality, unmatched customer service, the vibe is cool, the patio is warm and inviting. Pastry chef made doggy treats for the pups who visit. Every single detail here is perfectly manicured and makes you want to visit over and over again, which is why we ate here two nights in a row! The oysters are off the charts, melt in your mouth delicious, entrees are great sized portions, always cooked to perfection. I could go on and on. Hands down the best in Nashville, my absolute favorite, nowhere else even comes close. Thank you Urban Grub. 💗
