"Urban Plates, where have you been all my life!?! Great food, great service, great prices! Holy freaking grass-fed cow the steak sandwich is truly masterpiece of flavors and textures that deserves a spot on the menu in heaven. Now that I 've got your attention let me tell you the tale of our first visit to Urban Plates. It was a birthday dinner on a Sunday evening with a large party of 30-50 people. The birthday boy arranged with management to reserve an entire section of the dining area for our group. I don 't think they actually take reservations so it was nice of them to accommodate us. That said, the kitchen and staff were really on top of their game. Even though they were totally slammed with orders our food was delivered to our table in less than ten minutes. Thanks to those guys and gals for great service. I ordered the steak sandwich with an additional side of mac n cheese and my wife ordered the chicken tender plate. Incidentally, a comfort food favorite of hers since childhood. We were both very impressed with the quality of the food at such a reasonable price. Truly a food joy experience. My wife is really looking forward to trying the hot chicken on our next visit. I personally believe that if there were a contest for best steak sandwich in Pasadena the chimichurri steak sandwich at Urban Plates could beat the very popular beef dip sandwich at the high end place just down the street. Very high quality food for a very reasonable price. Fun Facts: -Urban Plates first location opened in San Diego in 2011. -Founded by Saad Nadhir and John Zagara the chain currently has just over twenty locations mostly in Southern California. They have plans to slowly expand outside of California. -Their website claims that their food is all scratch made with organic ingredients. Using hormone and antibiotic free grass-fed beef, sustainable salmon, and never frozen chicken. So, do yourself a favor and give this amazing place a try soon."
