Urban Plates Menu Prices 2026
Urban Plates menu prices individual plates from $12 to $25, family meals from $61 to $78, and catering bundles from $73 to nearly $500 for large groups. This guide covers every category and explains a detail most price lists miss: dine-in and takeout prices differ from delivery prices, which is why the same item sometimes shows two different numbers.

Why some prices show twice: Urban Plates confirms on its own menu that delivery prices run higher than dine-in and takeout prices. That explains the “Famous Plates” listing in the source data, which prices these same proteins about $1.50 higher — Grilled Grass Fed Steak at $21.75 instead of $20.25, Seared Wild Ahi Tuna at $19.95 instead of $18.50.
Treat the lower figures above as dine-in/takeout pricing and expect roughly a 7–8% markup on delivery apps. The most-ordered plates, based on real customer order data, are the Grilled Grass Fed Steak Plate, the Chicken Tender Plate, and the Sustainable Grilled Salmon Plate.
Salads
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Classic House Salad | $12.25 | 550 |
| Urban Caesar Salad | $12.25 | 610 |
| Urban Superfood Salad | $12.25 | 1,040 |
| Caribbean Salad | $12.25 | 510 |
| Mixed Beet Salad | $14.50 | 710 |
| Urban Chicken Caesar Salad | $16.25 | 890 |
| Chicken Cobb Salad | $16.50 | 840 |
| Thai Chicken Noodle Salad | $16.50 | 1,050 |
| Wild Ahi Niçoise Salad | $16.50 | 1,000 |
| Grilled Steak Salad | $18.50 | 740 |
| Urban Salmon Caesar Salad | $18.50 | 1,030 |
| Soup & Salad Combo | $9.25 | — |
Braises, Bowls & Soups
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Chicken Tortilla Soup (Cup) | $5.25 | 110 |
| Tomato Basil Soup (Cup) | $5.25 | 140 |
| Beets + Avocado Plant Based Bowl | $12.25 | 870 |
| Moroccan Chicken Braise | $14.50 | 370 |
| Mediterranean Chicken Bowl | $14.50 | 960 |
| Braised Beef & Mushrooms | $16.25 | 540 |
The cup price above matches the dine-in menu. A separate catering-context listing shows $5.75 for the same cup and adds a $7.95 bowl size — again likely a delivery or catering price point rather than a data error.
Sandwiches & Burgers
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Grilled Cage Free Chicken Sandwich | $12.25 | 840 |
| Crispy Chicken Sandwich + Fries | $12.25 | 1,180 |
| Grass Fed Cheeseburger + Fries | $12.25 | 1,000 |
| Grilled Portobello Mushroom Sandwich | $13.25 | 750 |
| Seared Wild Ahi Tuna Sandwich | $15.25 | 950 |
| Turkey Avocado Club Sandwich | $15.50 | 1,360 |
| Cage Free Chicken Club Sandwich | $15.50 | 1,370 |
| Grilled Grass Fed Steak Sandwich | $15.50 | 910 |
| Grass Fed Double Cheeseburger + Fries | $15.50 | 1,280 |
Half-sandwich combos (sandwich + side, smaller portion): Half Grilled Chicken Combo $10.25, Half Portobello Combo $10.25, Half Grilled Steak Combo $11.25, Half Turkey Avocado Club Combo $11.25. These same combos are also listed under “Urban Combos” in the source — it’s one set of items, not two.
Everyday Value Menu
Urban Plates’ standing value tier groups its $12.25-and-under items together: Grass Fed Cheeseburger + Fries, Grilled Cage Free Chicken Sandwich, Crispy Chicken Sandwich + Fries, Urban Superfood Salad, Caribbean Salad, Urban Caesar Salad, Classic House Salad, Beets + Avocado Plant Based Bowl, and Three Up, plus the four Half Combos listed above ($10.25–$11.25). This isn’t a separate menu — it’s a curated shortlist of the regular menu’s lowest-priced options.
Family Meals
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Grilled Cage Free Chicken Family Meal | $61.25 |
| Chicken Tender Family Meal | $61.25 |
| Seared Wild Ahi Tuna Family Meal | $71.50 |
| Sustainable Grilled Salmon Family Meal | $75.50 |
| Grilled Grass Fed Steak Family Meal | $75.50 |
| Blackened Sustainable Salmon Family Meal | $77.75 |
| Chimichurri Grass Fed Steak Family Meal | $77.75 |
About the price gap: a separate “Party Favorites” listing in the source shows these same family meals about $1 higher across the board — Seared Wild Ahi Tuna Family Meal at $72.50 instead of $71.50, Blackened Salmon at $78.75 instead of $77.75.
As with the plates above, this matches Urban Plates’ confirmed policy of pricing delivery orders higher than dine-in and takeout. Use the lower price for pickup and expect the higher one through a delivery app.
Kids Menu
| Item | Price | Calories |
|---|---|---|
| Kids Macaroni & Cheese | $8.25 | 640 |
| Kids Chicken Plate | $10.25 | 380 |
| Jumbo Chicken Tenders Kids Meal | $10.25 | 520 |
| Kids Steak Plate | $11.25 | 370 |
| Kids Sustainable Grilled Salmon Plate | $13.25 | 460 |
Sides
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Slice Grilled Rustic Bread | $1.25 |
| Potato Chips | $2.75 |
| Most vegetable/grain sides (corn, broccolini, rice, quinoa, potatoes, etc.) | $5.25 |
| Side Crispy Chicken Tender | $5.00 |
| Truffle Parmesan Fries | $7.25 |
| Side Grilled Cage Free Chicken | $9.00 |
| Side Seared Wild Ahi Tuna | $9.25 |
| Side Roasted Barramundi Seabass | $10.00 |
| Side Grilled Grass Fed Steak | $10.25 |
| Side Grilled Sustainable Salmon | $10.25 |
| Side Blackened Sustainable Salmon | $11.25 |
| Side Grilled BBQ Pork Ribs | $14.50 |
Family Sides (serve a group, one size): most sides run a flat $18.50 — corn, rice, quinoa, potatoes, mac & cheese, beet salad, and roasted vegetables all priced the same at this larger portion.
Desserts
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Chocolate Chunk Cookie, Cowgirl Cookie, or Gluten Free Chocolate Cookie | $4.25 |
| Banana Cream Pie | $7.25 |
| Strawberry Shortcake, Mango Tart, Flourless Chocolate Cake, Hummingbird Cake, Chocolate Vanilla Layer Cake | $8.25 |
Cookie pricing genuinely varies by region — official Urban Plates menus confirm the Cowgirl Cookie and GF Chocolate Cookie at $3.99 in one Southern California market and $4.25 in a Northern California/Solana Beach market. Banana Cream Pie shows a similar regional split ($7.25 vs. $6.50). Confirm the exact price at your local restaurant.
Beverages
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Coffee or Decaf Coffee | $3.50 |
| Bottled Water or Sparkling Water | $4.00 |
| Stubborn Soda, Organic Iced Tea, or Kids Replenishers | $4.25 |
| Organic Lemonade, Organic Green Tea, or fruit Replenishers | $5.25 |
| Kombucha Trilogy | $7.00 |
One conflict this article can’t resolve: a separate beverage listing in the source prices these same drinks at $19.95 each, nearly four times higher, with no size or serving information given.
Urban Plates’ confirmed dine-in-versus-delivery gap runs closer to 7–8%, not 280%, so this looks more like a bulk or party-size format than a standard delivery markup. Confirm the size before ordering rather than assuming either price applies to a single drink.
Catering & Party Favorites
Catering pricing is a genuinely separate system from the dine-in menu, priced by group size rather than per item.

Catering sides run $5.95 individually, $42 (serves 10), or $84 (serves 20) across most vegetable and grain sides.
Sauces & dressings (all flavors, same pricing): $2.00 for a 2oz individual portion, $7.95 for 8oz (serves 4), or $11.95 for 12oz (serves 8) — this applies across all 12 flavors, from Chimichurri to Caesar to Blueberry Champagne Vinaigrette.

About Urban Plates
Saad Nadhir and John Zagara founded Urban Plates in 2011, opening their first restaurant in Del Mar, California. The chain is headquartered in Solana Beach, CA, and now runs about two dozen locations concentrated in Southern California, with newer sites in Northern California and beyond.
Urban Plates calls itself a “chef-driven fast-casual” brand and builds its menu around grass-fed beef, sustainable seafood, and organic produce.
Opening Hours
Hours vary by location, but this schedule is commonly reported:
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Monday–Thursday, Sunday | 11 AM–9:15 PM |
| Friday–Saturday | 11 AM–9:45 PM |
Confirm your local restaurant’s hours before visiting.
Why Prices Vary by Location and Order Type
Urban Plates confirms two real sources of price variation. First, delivery orders cost more than dine-in or takeout orders — official menus show this directly. Second, prices differ by region: two official Urban Plates PDF menus list the same cookie at $3.99 in one Southern California market and $4.25 in a Solana Beach-area market. Confirm your total with your local restaurant or the Urban Plates app before ordering.
