The meat was so good. We had the brisket sandwich and the pulled pork sandwich. Both were tender and flavorful. I used a variety of barbecue sauces, but I thought it tasted best without adding any. You can pick and add your own sauces to the sandwiches. The corn pudding was moist and had a nice sweet taste and the fries were extra crispy and delicious. Even though I was super full, I couldn’t stop eating.

Tasty BBQ, decent salads, nice sides to choice from. Eat in or to-go, lots of drink options. Pictured is the smoked turkey and brisket. My 1 issue is the container they put the side salad(which good) in, is more like a soup bowl instead of a salad plate, so it is a real mess when you put the dressing on and try to mix it up.

Very nice place and clean! I loved all the decoration and style! 14 hour smoked & sliced brisket was delicious!!! I recommend roasted bacon Brussels sprout and sweet potato soufflé as side dishes!

My company ordered Real Urban when our planned cookout was rained out and we were desperate to find another place that can cater at the last minute. Luckily, we were able to reach them and they were able to get our order in and a few hours later, it came in. The pulled pork and brisket were delicious but the sweet potato souffle is a must here.

Great flavours, good dining space, low price point. Everything I love! I just got the special this time, so I’ll have to come again to try the core menu.

Consistently delicious! Their brisket is some of the best I’ve ever had… moist, lean, smoky, and generous portions. Burnt ends are also fantastic. Plenty of options for sauces and sides. Sides are not always the same level of flavor and texture as their meats, but still good. Atmosphere is fine, but nothing notable. It is always clean though, and staff is fast, efficient, and courteous. Overall, highly recommended if you’re in the area and looking for quality BBQ.

VERY surprised at how good it was. No, it’s not in the same league as the great BBQ houses across the country, but this place is no slouch. Staff is very nice. Plenty of nice, clean seating. Lots of great sides choices. I wish the meats had a little more pronounced flavor, but over all very few complaints. I’ll be back.

The brisket was pretty good. A half pound of brisket can honestly feed two people. The staff was friendly and fast. Ordered french fries, slaw and with the brisket. The BBQ sauces on the tables were delicious, although the bottles were a little sticky. Could use a wipe down. I would recommend having metal forks and knives instead of plastic for dine-in customers because the forks were too bendy. The ice tea is homemade and I highly recommend.
