The Real Deal is Urban Roots Brewery & Smokehouse which delivers on outstanding BBQ flavors and fun atmosphere!

Firstoff, let’s begin with the service which was good, but the wait to be able to order took a long time on a Saturday lunch. The wait after ordering took a bit as well. I would be prepared during a lunch or dinner be there for a bit. I have to say the rest is worth the wait.

Second, the atmosphere and vibe are outstanding. Rustic looks and lots of seating inside and outside, seating for large groups. The decor fits the bbq world, lots of fun, and meat education.

Thirdly and lastly, the Food, Yes!!! The bbq here is outstanding, full of flavor, beers are amazing, huge variety of beers and family style foods and single plates as well! I didn’t get time to rate everything so I will update this on the next go around! I will be back with an update I hope so!! Must try!!!

I came here for lunch one day while in town for business meetings.  I got the 1/4 Tri-Tip meal with "Burnt end beans" and a "Winter salad" as my sides.  I had asked for the meat well done and lean, I got well done but it could have been leaner.  The 1/4 pound is two strips of meat and I ended up losing a solid portion to fat.

Aside from that, the meat tasted fantastic.  Their BBQ sauces were delicious, the soda machine had great better for you options, and the sides were fantastic.  I'm very picky with beans, I usually do not like them at 90% of the places I go, but these were fantastic and they had pieces of meat in with them.

I paid about $20 for lunch, which is a little on the high side, especially given the portion of meat.  I did not have any of their beer as I had to drive right after and they had mostly IPAs and few if any beers that I would drink.

I ate inside.  The atmosphere was great and the music was fantastic.  It looked like they had a private room and maybe even tours of their facility.

Best ribs and collard greens I’ve had in a long time. Solid burger and great beer selection as well! Friendly staff and lots of outdoor seating too. Can’t wait to go back!

I've been to Urban Roots many times.  I've always enjoyed my food.  My favorites are the fried fish plate and the brisket.  I stopped in to place a to-go order.  My family wants good-sized portions and I shared this with the gentleman who took my order.  I paid a hefty $178 to feed a family of 4.  Needless to say, when I got home I was very disappointed (see pics).  I probably would have saved money if I bought individual plates.  This order was a trial because I told them I wanted to use their catering for 4th of July.  While I was there waiting for my food I sent an email to the catering department. I have not received a response but based on the amount of food we received a catering order would be out of the question. THIS RATING IS SOLELY BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF FOOD WE RECEIVED FOR THE AMOUNT WE PAID.

Hooray for patio bike parking! Clean bathroom. The fish in the fish taco was nice. The salsa was very vinegar. Onion rings great but dont come with any sauce. Also, I know it's common these days, but why are beers in every brewery are often half IPAs? So we ordered four that weren't for our tasting. I liked 2 out of 5 (the hazy ironically and the porter). The ordering process was a bit disjointed; I didn't understand the line and choosing the beers and paying all in separate places. Somehow felt cramped up there for such a huge room. Pleasant to sit outside so overall not bad. Best to go on a Monday or Tuesday and get the promo pints for $5.
