Two Urban Licks

Very cool spot in the city upscale urban industrial vibe set around an amazing kitchen with a smoker and labor of love smoked meat this place was recommended by a friend who lives locally …amazing had the pork belly and salmon chips apps and then the smoked chicken and 14 hr smoked brisket the chicken literally fell off the bone and the brisket was like it came out of a crock pot the service was very efficient and friendly glasses never got empty and the wine was flowing. Very cool spot with industrial flare dishes and good taste and pricing was reasonable.

The atmosphere is very laid back from the moment you walk into the cathedral high doors to the bar being centrally located in the restaurant. You may enjoy the open environment, but it may not be the best situation for a conversation, especially if you are on a date. I heard the entire conversation that the couple next to us was having, which was comical at times as I am not sure I would go that route if I wanted to impress my female companion. Okie dokie...enough of the atmosphere and let's get down to the food. The food was fresh, innovative, and brought out relatively quickly. Our waitress was exceptional as she answered every question we had and gave us reasonable recommendations as this was our first time here. We tried a great representation of their current menu, and the taste, seasoning, and presentation were outstanding. The time flew as we enjoyed the food and our own conversation as the night went on and the ambient noise came down a bit as we were not as close to the bar where a lot of the conversations were coming from. At the end, they even brought out a birthday dessert, which was also very tasty. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant for great food and an excellent downtown environment with high end expectations.

I finally got a chance to check it out for a late birthday dinner. There were so many good appetizers on the menu to choose from. Most people raved about the salmon chips, but we thought they were just ok. We didn't expect the salmon to be chilled. We enjoyed the calamari. It was tossed in a nice sweet and spicy sauce. The cauliflower was flavorful. I wish it had more crunch. Finally, we got the brisket empanada. It was cut in half and drizzled in an orange sauce, cheese and diced tomatoes. We also ordered the greens and mac n cheese. We spent $89 for the 4 apps and 2 sides. The service was great. They brought out a small, chocolate birthday cake after our meal. I will return and try more goodies on the menu.

Great atmosphere inside - interior design on point. However from outside - especially where valet is, the entrance looks like an abandoned warehouse… Food was good. But definitely not the best shrimp and grits flavor. Salmon chips were really good though. I like that you can pay through QR code of the table - but why can’t I order the same way?

This experience was phenomenal. Started with the salt and pepper Calamari. Omg the calamari was savory. The hint of cilantro and peppers. Ended the meal with the fried chicken biscuit and my partner had the steak and eggs. The fried chicken biscuit came with a sausage gravy. That dang biscuit melted in my mouth. Great combination. The ambiance is beautiful. We chose the valet parking which is $3. There is a sign for self parking. Johnathan was friendly and very helpful.

I’ve lived in Atlanta for almost 20 years and every time I tell someone I haven’t been here, the reaction is always the same: disbelief. I understand this has been an Atlanta staple for sometime, but surely it couldn’t be that amazing right? Wrong. Everything was great, from the hostess, to our server, to the management. We came in less than an hour before closing and we warmly welcomed and not rushed at all. I normally do not go to restaurants within an hour of closing because the service is usually subpar. This experience was the complete opposite, they made us feel so appreciated as customers that we didn’t want to leave! For our appetizer we ordered the salmon chips and they were delicious, I was actually surprised at how good it was. For our entree I ordered the braised pork sugo and my friend ordered the grilled hangar steak. Both were delicious, but unfortunately my friend’s food wasn’t hot, more like warm. She casually mentioned it to the server and they made her a whole new meal, no questions asked. The manager even came over to talk to us and apologize for the mistake. I hate I can’t remember our server or the manager’s name because they both gave us amazing service. I guess Two Urban Licks lives up to the hype and I can’t wait to go again!

The atmosphere is so beautiful and unique. We really enjoyed our time at this place. We arrived an hour early for our reservation, so we had drinks and an appetizer at the bar while we waited for our reservation. Madison was our waitress and she also happened to be the bartender. The live music here is pure soul. I sang along to all of the soulful hits, The Isleys, Bill Withers, Bobby Caldwell, Sam Cooke… it was amazing! We recommend the salmon chips, and crab cake. Both were delicious and cooked perfectly. The brisket is so flavorful and tender. I ordered the scallops and I was so full. All of our dining experience was great! Madison provided us with great service. Again, the atmosphere is awesome. We are from the NYC area and the vibe at Two Urban Licks and it reminded us of our dining experiences in NYC.

Nice restaurant in the old forth ward! The sides were excellent with some of the meals having a wonderful Lebanese influence! The Salmon was great and brisket was one of the largest ones I have seen! They gave some festive drinks you can get at bar waiting to be served in glowing cubes hanging from ceiling. I was also impress with their wood fire rotisserie setup! So many moving gears! Parking is a bit tricky and it might be difficult to notice the front door from the parking lot.

After having a bad experience trying to celebrate my birthday at another restaurant I decided to come to my go to place where I know they'll get it right and God knows I wasn't wrong. Our waitress Morgan took good care of us and made sure it was a great sit down experience. The atmosphere is always relaxing and chill, the food was amazing, and the service phenomenal. I will always recommend this place.
