    First time going there. Everything was really good! This was my first time eating chicken burger and they didn’t disappoint me. Food was very good with reasonable prices. Staff was nice and polite. We made a reservation and didn’t have to wait at all. We arrived and went straight to the table. The even took in count my request for space for the stroller. I would recommend it. The only bad thing is that brunch is only for weekends .

    We had a great experience at TWO urban licks. The food was delicious, everything starter and main were right on. The Briskets are a must and the calamari and pork belly wraps are so good! Our waitress Morgan was awesome, she was knowledgeable and gave great recommendations and was very friendly. The staff were also on point. Our water was always being replenished and our table was always getting cleaned. We highly recommend and will be returning.
