    Very small menu. No one in our party ordered a hamburger, but that most likely would’ve been best. We had wings, salads, pretzel & fish & chips. I wish the waitress would’ve told us about the specials. We didn’t notice the chalk board out front with the specials on it until we walked out.

    Had a great experience! We went for my dad’s 80th birthday for a small family gathering because it’s more or less in the middle of where we all live in the county. We’ve been before, but they recently overhauled their menu so it was all new to us. Food was excellent and the service was friendly and just right. At the table, several ordered the Rodeo burger and loved it. I had the Electric tacos and they were delicious. Great wine too. Bread pudding for dessert was on point. We’ll be back!

    We choose Urge to celebrate my Mother’s 98th birthday. I made reservations requesting inside booth seating. When we arrived there was no one inside to seat us for 5 minutes. When the person arrived I said we had reservations and she said “go seat yourself to the left”. She did bring menus and asked what we wanted to drink, the drinks arrived pretty quickly. However, our server came maybe ten minutes later to take our orders. We then waited 40 minutes (for a party of five) for our orders, still nothing. My daughter asked at the front again, the person was rude to her and said she’d tell our waiter. We waited an addition 10 minutes before our orders came. The waiter never once came back to ask how our meals were or if we wanted anything more to drink etc. I again had to go up to the front to ask for our bill. Not to mention the incredibly difficult pathway for my Mother to get into the restaurant on a walker, it was an accident waiting to happen for the handicapped! I will never go back.

    My party and I attended the urge blackout night and can’t say enough great things about it. I feel like the restaurant is getting back to its old self again like it was when they first opened and would love to see more of these events in the future the wait staff was awesome and everything we ordered was correct and on time will definitely be considering going to more dinners and lunches. I also want to include the ambience with the female guitar player. She was terrific, and would love to see her more and more perform.

    Beer choices limited. Food combinations odd. Pizza just ok. Salad good. Menu oddly set up.

    Food was mediocre, same with service. We have eaten here numerous times and quality of the experience varies from good to bad. Seem to be trending downward.
