    Got the Beef braise with Mashed potatoes, Roasted old Baked potatoes, huge Chocolate chip cookies, Hummingbird cake and Lemonade. Very cute place with lots of green plants and decorations. Plenty of seating inside. Outside is pretty big and they had a small fire going. The staff was friendly and the prices were Fair. The beef braised with mashed potatoes and rustic style bread was absolutely delicious! So much flavor, nice and hot and the potatoes were made really well. The roasted old baked potatoes were also really yummy, just wish they were served hot (mine were barely warm). The hummingbird cake looks great but it's not for me. It was kind of citrus tea flavored with random chunks of pineapple in there and also had a oval chunk of something weird that had a rubber texture to it and I couldn't figure out what it was. Even asked the staff. There's plenty of parking in their lot

    This is one of my favorite lunch spots in Thousand Oaks. All organic food and all gourmet. Cafeteria style and the manager is such a nice guy. Everything on the menu is good. My wife and kids love it here also. You have to give it a try.

    Super delicious, diverse menu. So many fun things to try. Something for everyone. We especially loved the steak, as well as the avocado & beets bowl. Price between $10-$15 for dinner which was a steal for the quality.

    First time at the thousand oaks Urban plates and I got to say that I got the best experience. The workers and host were amazing and don't even get me started with the food. I enjoy every detail of this place. It's a must if you are in the thousand oaks area.

    Service was VERY slow. Worker was on a very long phone call with a customer placing a very large phone order. The young man didn't even acknowledge us as we stood at the registers, several other employees shuffled back and forth, no one asked if they could help us. We literally stood there the whole time waiting for him to finish taking the order and was shocked that no one stepped in to assist in any way. Especially when you see 2 employees sitting down and 3 other employees in the food area. They weren't busy. After about 12 mins or so the cashier finished the call and asked us for our order. He was very nice and apologized for us waiting so long. I ordered the Moroccan Chicken. It was okay, I'd give it a 5 out of a 10. No wow factor, but not bad either. I think the bread on the side was the best part of my meal. I really wanted to love this place, especially since it has dairy free options and sustainable food etc. I really wished they had a vegan cake on the menu.

    Food was on point! Delicious, tasty lots of flavors, the lady always orders the steak. The skirt steak was juicy, she ordered it medium by the way.

    Healthy food, stellar options, lively environment and immaculate flavors. Urban plates never lets me down as a go to spot for food that fresh and filling. My go to is the chimichurri Grass Fed Steak with asparagus and roasted rainbow carrots/beats. I also ordered a side of wild caught Ahi just the protein while my friend ordered the sustainable salmon with asparagus and roasted rosemary potatoes. The steak comes medium easy to bite and filled with flavor and the ahi is always packed with savory flavors yet is never overwhelming. The ahi comes encrusted with a seasoning that combines with the softness of the meat and although it’s cold envelops your mouth just as much as any other meat, chicken or fish. The asparagus is always cooked to perfection and lightly seasoned. The roasted carrots and beats are perfectly charred adding a warm smoky flavor yet still caramelized because of the sweetness of the beets. It’s hard to mess up Salmon and potatoes so they were both also amazing. The prices are $10-$17 a plate but definitely worth it. To drink we got the freshly squeezed lemonade and cantaloupe pineapple mango were around $4-$5 but they offer free refills and are well worth it.

    One of the few restaurants I feel good about ordering from because I trust the quality of the food which is consistently good. Love the Plate Pass. Saves us quite a bit of $$. When I go to pick our order up, Manny is there to greet us with a smile (hard worker that one). He’s super efficient and professional and the order is always correct. How many restaurants can you say that about. If you’re looking for a great meal with incredible service, check out Urban Plates at the Oaks and ask for Manny. He'll take good care of you.

    Urban Plates has a cafeteria/restaurant vibe. There is a huge menu outside the front door so, you can decide what you want before you go inside. You order your food at the register, they give you the drinks there and then give you a number to set at the table of your choosing. There is a selection of wine and beer and a station where you get your own water. The vibe here is very earthy! I love all of the plants and succulents all around and at your table. You have an option to sit inside, on the covered patio or under the umbrella seating tables closer to the street. The food is amazing but portion size could slightly improve. I usually get the salmon and beets $16 & the chimichurri steak $18 is really delicious also! Everything is nicely plated and the staff is very friendly. Since urban plates is practically next door to the movie theatre, it is a nice place to have a meal before going to see a Tuesday discount night movie!

    I went to urban plates for dinner with my family as I’ve been back from college. I haven’t been in a while but their consistency shines through with the same delicious food and excellent, attentive customer service. I must shoutout Elijah! He was so helpful, great at taking our orders, and attending other needs. He also gave us free chocolate chip cookies as closing time was coming near. So yummy and such a wonderful experience

    Great food, very friendly, nice place to enjoy a good meal! We stopped on our way up North. Outdoor patio was very dog and kid friendly. Menu has something for everyone and the food was delicious! The manager was so friendly and helpful. Would definitely go again! :)

    The urban plates, surf and turf is an incredible meal along with probably one of the best chocolate chip cookies I've had. They were quite busy and ran out of utensils, but they replenished them quickly. There are a few tables that can accommodate five or six but many times they seem to be occupied by a single person and I wish I could change but that's just the way people are. This is a great local place and you should definitely come here because of the food is good and the quality consistent and service at the counter is always very kind. Thanks Kassi for the great experience

    Love the mac n cheese and the chimichuri steak! Always pleasant employees and clean tables. My go to spot! :) Shout out to Sid who was very helpful and kind!

    I haven’t been here since after the pandemic and was sad to see you now have to order at the register. I missed being able to walk up to the different food stations and see all the choices. Aside from that, the food was as good as I remembered and the staff (especially Sid) were friendly and helpful.

    The cheeseburger, frankly, is a little weak. But the fries were really good. Kassi gave some good advice to the vegetarians in the group when we ordered, and Jessie hit me with a perfectly poured 805 that was very cold and very fresh - they must go through a lot of it. The plastic plants are lame, but the seating is comfortable and all the wood gives a cozy warm vibe to the place.

    You can of dine out on the terrace where they have heaters set up or dine inside where it has more of a cozy atmosphere. We appreciated having Kassi as our server for the past couple of nights we had visited as she had been very attentive to our needs, including my very young children's. A wonderful experience overall. We'll continue to come back for more

    This place was AMAZING! So many yummy options, super fast service, and such a cute atmosphere. The food was delicious and unmatched. I would come here time and time again … wish we had one in Chicago! Bryan and Ryan made sure we had a great experience and were so welcoming to our group of 21 people. Definitely check this place out!

    I ordered the grass fed beef with chimchurri sauce, Rosemary potatoes, beets & carrots. The meal looked good & the vegetables were delicious. However my piece of meat was very difficult to chew & some portions totally unchewable. It looked good & the taste was good but portions were like rubber. Weird.. This was my first time eating here so hopefully just a one-off situation.
