Another bad review of Urban Forage

[Guest guest]

Wow, this is strange. I'm wondering if they're better for take-out than

for sit-down, and if it's hit or miss with items on their menu. I've

only

gone twice, both times take-away for lunch. This last Thursday I tried

a burger there, I think it was called the urban burger; I saw the

description

for the manwich and thought the caramelized onions sounded unappealing

and possibly an attempt to cover up a poor burger by smothering it with

onions.

I found the take-away urban burger pretty tasty, though certainly not

enough of

a meal on its own. But I also splurged on one of their wheat-free vegan

brownies

from the glass case at the checkout counter and was very impressed with

that. It was humongous and really serves two people, even three, easily.

Back to the urban burger, it had a tasty mustard-miso sauce, and some

purple sauerkraut that was good too.

I hope you will write to the owners, Kim, even though I've had better

experiences the two times. I stopped going to the one on Fillmore, as I

felt

very out of place there for some reason. But the experiences you and

others

describe remind me of my first experiences at both Golden Era and at

Shangri-La, both of which I did not patronize for a long time because

of some

items on their menu that I found absolutely revolting and insulting. I

learned

eventually that were more worthwhile things on the menus at these

places.

Maybe UF will go through some kind of learning curve, but only with

honest

customer feedback from dissatisfied customers. This can only make it a

better

place for all of us, so thank you Kim.
