★★☆☆☆ Let me say that I came here with high hopes! This place is OK, at best. They have a few different options and varieties to appeal to most burger lovers. For my first time, I ordered the classic, which was very basic. We also ordered the Oh So Hot, which I took a bite of and preferred it slightly over what I ordered. They had no fries on our visit (WTF?!). The kids\' chicken tenders was hella salty and over cooked/burnt/dry. This was the case with the onion rings as well (e.g., overcooked/burnt). Service was not friendly at all, we felt like we were bothering them by being there. We waited a very long time (over 25 mins) for our food, despite it not being busy. We definitely have better burgers (and service!) in the Bay Area. If you\'re not from LA and are craving a Halal cheeseburger, Urban Skillet might suffice. Just don\'t come here full of expectations. I categorize this place as \"barely passing.\" Posted on December 28, 2021

★★★★☆ So far I have tried the original, truffle and oh so hot.

All burgers are good and worth the price, for those who are not familiar these are all double patty burgers.

For fried, I would recommend Urban fries, though at $7.99 they are pricey but they have enough meet and toppings to justify it. Brisket fries are also good if you like bbq sauce that makes it obviously kind of sweet. I am not a big fan of that flavor.

On top of all of this the meet is halal and they proudly advertise it both inside and outside the restaurant.

★★★★☆ This is my go-to place after hiking in or around Griffth Park. I highly recommend. Not long ago (as evidenced by many of the older reviews), this place had amazing American-Korean fusion food, including the Philgogi cheese steak sandwich, which was my favorite thing on the menu. I think they've done away with the Korean part of their menu since at least November 2018, so there's no more philgogi or kim chi on the menu, but there's still tons of flavor and delicious things. Best of all, much of it is unique; there's a bunch of items at this place where you can *only* get at this place, items I've never seen on another halal menu. Every time I go here I'm faced with the same dilemma: Everything looks so good on the menu, it's hard to pick just one thing. I always want to pick five. If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Posted on October 14, 2019

★★★★★ Really tasty American food. Got a brisket burger and the one with lamb bacon and both were delicious. The decor is modern hipster and inviting, and the halal signs are very clear and I was served by a hijab-wearing girl. The fries were seasoned really well too. Highly recommend a visit!

★★★★★ I went there expecting a halal Asian fusion restaurant, but as of a few days ago, the owners have changed and the menu has substantially changed, but still 100% zabihah as assured by the owners. The owners are Muslim and they even gave us and another customer a prayer mat to pray on upon request. The food is now what I would call American food, consisting of burgers, wings, fries, and salads. Even though the food was not what we were expecting, it was delicious alhamdulillah! The Southern BBQ Burger (which includes lamb bacon) and Crispy Chicken Burger, House Fries, Skillet Fries, and Lemon Pepper Wings were all very good. They also generously gave us free fries with our burgers and while we waited. Posted on November 27, 2017

NR My whole family liked their sandwiches and fries. Good decor. Free parking was difficult to find. Metered parking was available. Posted on January 23, 2017

★★★★★ Very good burgers. I'll have to come back later to try out the sandwiches. Please note the the "hot,hot,hot burger" is very spicy. We went on the weekend when they also serve ribs, they were very good as well. Posted on September 18, 2016

★★★★★ Fantastic food! The Philgobi cheesesteak was amazing - one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The skillet fries were also great. I definitely recommend this place because it's so unique. Posted on August 8, 2016

★★★★★ Wow Thank you for such delicious, unique flavours and great customer service. I tried the food at the Eid festival in Anaheim and I appreciate the employees' patience with my specific food preferences due to allergies. I look forward to trying other menu items in the future. Please come out to Orange County more often, since I don't live near the valley. :) Posted on July 18, 2016

★★★★★ Yes everything is Halal in case you are wondering. I like two thing and two things only. That is their burgers and fries. The portion of each item is enough for two people to eat and indulge in every bite especially their burgers which is stack high with toppings. Their Skillet fries are a good appetizer to share among your party of 3-4 and have room left over for the good stuff. The owners of this place are really cool and down to earth and love what they are doing and make sure you are taken care of. I highly recommend this place if you are in the North Hollywood area and looking for something good to eat. Posted on July 12, 2016

★★☆☆☆ After all the hype and great reviews, our party of 5 was very dissappointed with our experience here! While the decor, ambience, and customer service are all great, the food is just not worth the price or the hype. The smoked chicken turned cold very quickly, making me think that maybe it was pre-cooked and then microwaved once ordered. The burgers, while juicy, are $9.95 for JUST the burger; most places, that price gets you at least an order of fries, too! The "Carne Asia-d Burrito" was dry: the meat was overcooked and flavorless, the beans didn't even seem fresh (they were so dry!), and the fillings just didn't compliment each other. As another reviewer has pointed out, the ribs are way too expensive, in addition to being mostly bone and fat. Finally, although the service is good, you pay when your order, and the payment screen pressures you to tip at that time. This isn't fair; how can you tip for the service when you haven't even sat down yet?? As it is, for a place where you order at the counter, grab your own plastice utensils and bottled drinks, and get served on tiny metal plates, the prices are too high. I get that Urban Skillet is in a hip part of town, but I don't think it lives up to expectations at all. Posted on March 9, 2016

★★★★☆ I like the inside of this restaurant. It is very trendy and clean. We tried several items on the menu, all of which were delicious... EXCEPT the ribs. Buyers beware: $24 for 4 small ribs that are mostly fat, not prepared well and not tasty. If I'm going to pay $24 for a small entree, I would expect it to be delicious and quality cuts. Honestly, I feel very ripped off by those, and wonder how they can even feel good charging that much for that ill-prepared dish. Stay away from the ribs and you'll probably be happy with the restaurant. Posted on January 10, 2016

★★★★★ Amazing food and great service. Would visit again the next time I'm in LA Posted on January 9, 2016

★★★★★ I highly recommend this please. You will enjoy it if you are a Foodie. I have been here twice and both times the food was amazing. I have had the hot hot, Philly, chicken sandwich, burrito, and skillet fries. Loved them all, but my favorite so far is the hot hot burger. I also sampled their ribs, Amazing. Can’t wait to go there and try it next week. It’s a great place to take the family or just hangout with good friends and food. Posted on December 5, 2015

★★★★★ We stopped by here the other day after a hike and I'm sure glad we did! The food was outstanding. A fusion of Asian and western cuisine, Urban Skillet offers unique items prepared with the freshest ingredients. I tried the hothothot burger and my husband had the philgogi cheesesteak. The meat in both dishes was so delicious and the sauces as well. I'm looking forward to going back to try some of other items on the menu! Thank you for making this halal-- the best part!
