Urban Eatery offers a comfortable dining experience overlooking the beautiful Lake Bde Maka Ska. We are located at the street level of The Beach Club building. We offer FREE RAMP PARKING at the Beach Club ramp located on Thomas Ave. We are open to the public and welcome all. Urban Eatery's menu is approachable with ingredients that are Fresh and Local. Our Lamb Burgers, shrimp tacos, and wings are AMAZING. Our house smoked RIBS & PORK CHOPS are some of the best in town. Our chef is obsessed with Mushrooms, so needless to say our Mushroom wild rice soup and Mushroom flatbread along with our Mushroom Omelette are outstanding. We are open for dinner service Wed - Sun and weekend Brunch Sat - Sun. We look forward to serving you soon.

    This was our first time to the Urban Eatery. Everything was wonderful. Our server could not have been any better, I actually wish I remember her name because she was so remarkable. I thought it was good, but not excellent. I was not a huge fan of the pomegranate brussels sprouts, but everything else was good. We will be back!

    Great service for Easter Brunch. Great choices for everybody, 3 course Holiday menu for a very fair price. The beet salad was popular at our table as was the grain bowl. Order the Bloody Mary spicy/ house made. I arrived early with my 90 year old Mother. Easy drop off out front, the staff went above and beyond seeing to her comfort and care. Our server treated her like royalty and even « danced » with her as she reminisced of earlier times in the Ballroom upstairs at the Beach Club. Bravo! A lovely goodbye too, thank you. We chose Urban Eatery for the beautiful view of the lake, healthier menu and easy parking. We will be back!

    the hummus was tasty. Maybe serve with 3 pitas instead of 2? ratios of spread to vessel are off. The root vegetables were OK- needed more brightness and would be fine with no kale. The chicken and grain bowl was really good. Chicken was exceptionally tender! again a little lemon or something would make it shine. About half the bowl was kale though. Granted, it was really high quality well done kale, but the quantity was a bit absurd. The service and atmosphere were terrific, and we appreciated the parking vouchers. will definitely return! Overall a very enjoyable evening.

    We sat for 30 minutes before our waitress asked for our drink order, but she apologized for the wait and everything was great after that! I highly recommend the cheese curds! My partner had the ribs which were also great. I had the salmon and pierogies which were phenomenal. We were too full for dessert, but hope to try it next time!

    The food is ALWAYS very good, and I fell immediantly in love with the wild rice soup! Apparently, the special ingredients are mushrooms grown by a special guy. Miranda served and she was meticulous about the timing - we had 4 courses. She was professional, very friendly, and had a wonderful sense of humor. We are always happy at Urban Eatery! Happy New Year to everyone! Holly
