We share 3 different plates, the foos was good presentation, amount and flavor. The waitress were friendly, I just have a comment they just come when we call them, honestly I don’t know if there was no more waitresses or just the 3 did I see. We set outside and the weather was so good.

It’s a cool place, pretty friendly staff. The meatballs dish looks great… it’s not.
The meatballs themselves are okay, not great. The tomato/ marinara sauce had little to nothing going for it. The meatballs were not hot on arrival and the cast iron dish isn’t hot.
The garlic bread looks beautiful too but no salt.

This place is being a pansy about seasoning their food.

I really enjoy this place! The beer is great, the food is great. We sat “outside” on a cold day, and they had so many heaters that it was almost hot. The fig flatbread was great, as were the short rib fries. The Ahi was also wonderful, although the portion seemed a little small to me. Recommended!

Edit Sept 2025. Fig flatbread still excellent, but the shrimp tacos were meh, with overdone bland shrimp. Still recommend this restaurant, but perhaps not the shrimp tacos.

We went for Sunday brunch, and it was not too busy. We got a table by the window.
The food was very good. We had wings, gumbo and salad, all very tasty.

Nicole was our server and did a fantastic job. Was very attentive and was knowledgeable on the menu and all of the items we had. The food was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. They have a ton of TVs so it is a great place to watch any event. I would highly recommend Union to anyone in the area.

Their Brisket Fries are soo good! It was better than I expected, I ate the whole thing and there was very little fat at all on the meat. It was super tasty and just the right amount of food. I came here with two friends, one was visiting from Oregon so we got drinks as well, all of which were great.

We had Poke Nachos, BBQ Chicken Flatbread with Margaritas, Beers, Old Fashioned and a shot at the end. Even though it was busy on a Sunday our waiter was really on top of checking in on us.

Along Highway 101. Slow service but fun people watching. Drinks had plenty of alcohol in them. Would return.

This visit to Union Kitchen was outstanding. They treated us very well. The food was great. My wife and I shared the Steak and Fritts and the Crab Cakes. The kids had a burger and the chicken stripes. The drinks were also ver good. The service was quick and friendly. We will be back and I recommend this place to anyone.

What a great find! Great location, great vibe, and great food! We came on a Wednesday night. We were seated promptly without having to wait. There’s a variety of fun cocktails as well as different draft beers on tap to choose from! Pan seared salmon was good but skin could be more crispy. Sauce for the seared salmon was not my favorite. My friends ordered the gumbo and the fisherman’s stew. They all enjoyed their food very much. Now, finally, the CORNVREAD is what you really need to order. It’s very buttery and heavy, but that’s why you bring a friend or two with you
