I got carry out on Tuesday night. This is what $150 looks like. I was absolutely dissatisfied with all their food. Most of the food was burnt and poor quality. I am most disappointed in the children’s chicken nuggets that they sent us that were burnt and black. The lack of care this place had with their food was unacceptable. The chicken dip burnt as well as their mac and cheese. I got the rice bowl and it was the saddest thing I’ve seen with less than 1/3 cup of rice. Also ordered a burger no sauce and no pickles- got a burger with extra sauce and pickles. This places does not care about what they serve. I will not be eating here ever again.

Overall my experience was okay. I came in on a Friday night and it was busy, to be expected. They have a nice waiting area in the back of the restaurant. There a couch, table, and a few chairs which is a nice touch and change from a waiting area near a front door.
The restaurant isn’t big, and with it so packed of people it’s not super easy to move around. It also gets very loud with everyone in there. Not ideal for having a conversation over dinner.
The service was good, although our bartender/waitress had forgotten to put in part of our order.
To start we had the special which was a cracker crust pizza. It was good. I wish the sausage had been sliced thinner and the toppings were not evenly placed on the pizza. Some slices didn’t get much and were basically just cheese.
For main dishes I ordered the sweet potato ragu, also a special. It reminded me of curry. It was spicy and well made. I loved the bread served with it too. My only issue was the rice on the bottom of the plate appeared to be sitting in a lot of liquid. I wish the curry sauce had been served seperate from the rice itself.
My boyfriend ordered the tri tip steak, could med/rare. This wasn’t great. It was another special. The steak itself was really chewy. The loaded mashed potatoes though were good.
To go we got our Mac and Cheese since it didn’t come out with our meal. Honestly it was okay. Too much nutmeg for my taste personally. The half size is a big portion too. Easily big enough to share.
We also got a cheesecake to go. I did not like how it was served in a soup cup to go. And it seemed like a small portion. Taste wise it was average.
Cocktails: state fair lemonade. It was strong, and I needed a lot more lemon juice in mine. But it was good.
Union draft Marg was really tasty and I would recommend trying it.
Overall I would come back and try new items. Our meal cost $100 not including tip and I don’t really know if it was worth the price.

Bummer of an experience. We went around 3pm on a Saturday and it was not too busy. We found our table to be unsanitary and seemed to have staining throughout the top. The beer menu QR code is not updated on the menu. The waitress was transparent and let us know the appetizer we wanted would not be out shortly so no point in ordering it. If you order lobster Mac n cheese it comes out in a half order size and it is $26.. that was a huge let down for the price when you can order the Mac n cheese full order for $21 and it’s twice as big. Lobster Mac comes with a roll and ours was frozen and super tough like it was days old. The Panino sandwich was on bread harder than a rock and was not enjoyable one bite. It actually was so rough the roof to our mouth is hurting. Now for drinks.. it’s hard to pay $13 for a mule that comes in a can when you can have fresh ones made at a bar for that amount. The manager did speak to us and apologized but actions taken were minimal. Ended up with a $85 before tip bill for something that we barely enjoyed. The workers stated a menu change is coming and I wish them the best in the future. Not sure if I’d come back being the best items I had was the OG Mac and a beer.

Met a friend here for brunch today. I have not been here in years. While loud and busy (as expected!) Service was excellent and I got the Sweet Potato Waffle with apple, and it was fantastic. I was impressed at how inexpensive it was. I will be back!

Was referred by a friend to try this place, and I’m so glad I did!
We started with the chicken dip which was great! Our server Amanda suggested adding hot sauce if we like a little kick of spice, and it took it to the next level. Very cool they had many condiment options on the table at our leisure to try.
As for entrees, I got the “new and improved” meatloaf (also suggested to try) and I will say, I never would normally think to get meatloaf out for dinner, but it was the star of the show for me. My husband chose the Cuban sandwich, which he loved as well, had a nice little spice to it with the chilies. We did get the Mac n cheese also, which was very good, I see why they are known for it!
We were told there will be some new seasonal items coming soon, interested to try!! Overall left very full and happy! We will definitely be back!

We visited this Clarkston staple, The Union Woodshop, to try the new menu and featured specials. It was a Saturday around 3pm and the place was buzzing — always a good sign — and our server, Amanda, was fantastic.
We started with the oven-baked fries, which were absolutely delicious. Pro tip: ask for the Puerto Rico fry sauce for dipping — it takes them to the next level.
Next up was the cracker crust pizza topped with butternut squash, sausage, and hot honey. Another hit. The flavors blended perfectly, with just the right balance of sweet and savory.
For our mains, we ordered two specials: the eggplant Parmesan with Parmesan risotto and the PB&J pork belly. Both dishes were meticulously prepared, and once again, the flavor pairings were spot on.
A buzzing atmosphere, creative specials, and consistently well-executed dishes — we’ll definitely be back.

The Sunday brunch at the Union is amazing! My wife and I went last week and had the best time and the best food. The bartender, Jonathon, makes the best drinks and definitely makes Sunday a fun day! I had the salmon plate and my wife had the cracker crust pizza. We loved them both! The only bad thing about the experience was that I had to work on Monday! I would give 6 stars if I could!!

I have a picky scale. Very few restaurants get 5 Stars from me. Their Mac-n-Cheese is almost as good as my wife’s baked Mac.. its pretty good they’ve sold some 1.8M Mac entrees since 1995. That’s almost $5M in net profit likely from this menu item alone. They have a good staff and keep the menu updated.
