The Wood Urban Kitchen

The food is amazing. Went yesterday and I'm 100% satisfied. From the security to customer service everyone is welcoming and nice . Definitely will go back

Place is good food is good. In my opinion the review on this place is low, due to unfair reviews, considering it's in a "tough" neighborhood with a tough crowd. Alot of entitled attitudes from locals. I went through a solid 20 reviews, the bad reviews I saw weren't about the food, but about their experience, or price. Again I Believe it comes from the tough crowd in the "tough" neighborhood it's in.

Eater loves this place, but Yelpers clearly do not. I myself am torn. The barbecue itself is quite good. The Ribs come off the bone with minimal gnawing, the brisket is tender with good smoke, and the pulled pork makes a nice sandwich. Skip the chicken links though - the texture is rather off-putting. I ordered my stuff on Doordash, and what I found baffling was that every single item had literally half a squeeze-bottle of bbq sauce on it. Not basted, not cooked in, just a sea of cold sauce so stifling I could barely see or taste anything underneath. The sides are all good here, baked beans, slaw, etc. Mac n' cheese hits, and street corn is fun. I will say the prices are quite high for the portion size. Good meat isn't cheap, but it's hard to feel okay when you only get 2 ribs and 3 slices of brisket. I guess you get your money's worth in sauce, but seriously guys, your food is good enough that it doesn't deserve the drowning.

We came here for SuperBowl Sunday, and could not understand why they refused to put the pre-game on until the 3:00 Black National Anthem, then immediately went back to the D.J. We missed every pre-game band and song, all the SuperBowl commercials, all the chitter and chatter re the game--utterly frustrating!They opened doors at noon--for the SuperBowl, yet had an asinine 90 min. table rule. Y'all better be glad The Nile had a huge cover charge, or our party of 7 would have walked down the street. We will next time, due to the rude treatment of the owner, when asking about getting the pre-game.What venue have you ever been to that hosts a game, yet plays music all the way through it? I mean, they literally muted the game and played music during SuperBowl commercials! But they call this a viewing party?!For a regular visit, I guess it'll work. I've done only take-out previously. Food is good. Service is generally good, with a couple of bad apples. Prices on par with other BBQ restaurants.SuperBowl VIEWING party? Never again.

The food at The Wood Urban Kitchen is undeniably delicious! The brisket was tender and flavorful, the BBQ chicken had just the right amount of smokiness, and the mac and cheese was creamy and rich. Even the corn muffins were a hit--moist, slightly sweet, and a perfect complement to the meal. And let me not forget the rum punch--absolutely insane in the best way!Service was exceptional, with friendly and attentive staff making sure we were well taken care of. You can tell they put love into the food and the hospitality, which made the experience feel warm and welcoming.So why only three stars? Unfortunately, the presentation and some inconsistencies took away from the overall experience. The food was served on styrofoam plates with plastic utensils, which didn't do justice to how good it actually was. And while most of the sides were great, the collard greens had an odd fishy taste, which was off-putting.Would I return? Yes. But I'd know what to expect--a super casual spot with amazing BBQ and drinks but not much in terms of ambiance or plating. If they upgraded the dining experience just a bit, this would easily be a 4 or even 5-star spot!

Just giving an update . This place is a gem. I have been inside about 4 times since my last review and I have ordered online about 5 or more times for myself and different people and had the food delivered to them. I have been pleased with everything. This is my new hot spot lol I be at work thinking about what day I'm going back lol .... Those brisket fries are insane those corn bread muffins are illegal.. I don't want to know how many calories are in each .. cause they are sweet and buttery

Omg!!!! This is the most amazing place! The brisket is bomb! Best greens ever! Jose is the BEST bar tender! Best drinks! I bumped into this hole in the wall! The bad reviews are coming from miserable people looking for a free meal! Best food! Best and I'm from Texas!! And Jose is phenomenal! Don't let bad reviews food you! They are WRONG!

The first 2 people I spoke to about this restaurant were ready to go eat with me! We just came in from phoenix and were staying at an airbnb. Sat at the bar, Allen was great, loved her , great drinks, service and conversation Food was amazing, I inhaled my pulled pork sandwich, literally. Watched the game and had a freaking awesome time.

The food was lukewarm, dry, AND subpar EVEN for a sports bar. They had only one kind of red wine, and the cocktails were worse than you'd get at Applebees. #Weak! But most importantly, they advertised a Super Bowl viewing, but kept a loud DJ playing throughout the ENTIRE pregame show AND commercials. Can you imagine coming to a Super Bowl party and not being able to hear a single commercial???The only saving grace was our server, Jose, who was on point.But the spot...super disappointing! We won't be coming back.

Food was amazing! Love this place I definitely will come back! Ribs were on point and the Mac and cheese were so creamy! Don't forget to try the cornbread.
