I’m in love with their CHICKEN COBB SALAD. I don’t usually get that excited about salads, but the Buttermilk Dill Dressing and fresh ingredients make me crave it. The CARIBBEAN SALAD was fantastic too! It is unique and full of flavor. I added grilled chicken to it and it was delicious. The CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD was incredibly good too. Their food is making me so happy.
They are really good about reading the notes for customizing the salads. I got them delivered a few times, and my daughter wanted steak instead of chicken, and no blue cheese. Anything like that, they nailed it.
I was missing out. I took too long to try this place. I guess I thought of it as “the brussel sprouts place”. Was I ever wrong. They have a lot of interesting things I want to try. Now that I see the light, I am working my way through their menu.
The beef is grass-fed. I am not a fan of the taste, but I never am though, so that’s just me. But it’s super tender, it might be just what some people are looking for.
The Mediterranean Chicken Bowl was good. It made me realize how much I love their hummus. I like it better than any I’ve tried. The HUMMUS & PITA CHIPS is one of my favorite things here.
Their FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE just makes the world a better place. It tastes like the inside of a chocolate truffle. It was bliss. It’s rich enough that I would have even been quite happy with half. The other desserts like the Mango Tart have been good, but this made me say wow with each bite.

Great place to grab a nice salad, Mediterranean bowl, steak dinner plate . . So many choices. The truffle fries were crispy on the outside and tender inside, so very tasty. They serve Stubborn soda, too.

Tyler waited on us. He explained what was on our selections. Urban Plates is comfort food elevated! We recommend you visit one of their many locations but Del Mar Highlands is our favorite.

UPDATED: the management team at this location was very helpful and took all my concerns into consideration which I’m very grateful for. I would like to believe this was an off day and hope to try them again.
Wonderful atmosphere and employees but nothing to rave about in regards to their food. I ordered takeout which was ready very quickly but it arrived cold, with almost no cheese, some questionable looking chicken and a freezing cold bun. Their online menu shows a toasted or grilled bun for their “grilled chicken sandwich”. My drive home is only 3 minutes so I find it hard to believe the sandwich was ice cold after immediate pickup and a 3 minute drive. The photos will speak for themselves.

This place is amazing. Shoutout all of the employees for the great service and food. Especially the organic touch. Thank you to Ricardo for letting me know how to leave a review.

Really great atmosphere and menu. I haven’t been here in a while (since before Covid, when there used to be a line and you moved your tray along) … but I was pleased to see that their current menu still has everything that I would’ve wanted when Tyler took my order. Most of their plates are a tad pricey, but they have so many other options (vegetarian options too) where I’m pretty satisfied.

This location really has gotten WAY better since the last time we dined here. Ricardo was amazing and even gave us an extra bread and all with a positive friendly attitude. The cashier gentlemen had a great attitude as well and the food was delicious and the portions have gotten better in size. Really I amend this location for stepping up their game. Thank you!

I love coming here for a quick and healthy bite. The bowls and salads are always fresh and delicious. And the mango pie—definitely my favorite, it’s the best!

Absolutely LOVE this place. The food is insanely good and always fresh — the chicken is consistently super moist, the bread is perfectly crispy, and their homemade dressings are next level. They hands-down have my favorite Caesar dressing in the world, and I say that as a true connoisseur. The restaurant is super clean and inviting, making it perfect for a great lunch meeting or a quick but high-quality meal.
The service is just as great as the food. Ricardo took care of me today and was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better. With locations all around San Diego, it’s always an easy go-to.
And last but not least — the Plate Pass is an absolute steal. It’s only $5 a month and gets you 20% off every visit, which easily pays for itself. Highly recommend.
