Had a pretty good meal here! Came in on a weekend morning and it was like crickets, which we found odd. My matcha latte was pretty mid -- not a coffee shop so I wouldn't necessarily expect anything incredible but it could have been hotter, at least. The frittata was very good and a generous portion -- I took part of it home for later. The pistachio pesto sauce really adds to it. I'd return to try more of their brunch menu (or others) without complaint -- why not!? read more

Overall I did have a wonderful time here and I do look forward to coming again. We have visited many different restaurants owned by this group, and love their food. I do want to start with some thoughts before I give the highlights. We were charged a percent for using a credit card. I cannot speak to the in-person menu, but I combed the online menu and it did not mention that. We were also charged for ranch. Most places do not do that, and we were not informed there would be an upcharge. Most places allow you a sauce to go with fries. Also, for my meal, there is an image of an extra sauce which it did not come with, but we were charged for two small portions of ranch. Last, the server was just okay. I always enthusiastically ask questions to get to know more about a place. I asked if they had any other fruity drinks. She pointed to the drink menu and indicated just the Paloma. I said, but you have a full bar, this is the only fruity drink you make? She did not want to ask the bar, but I asked her to. The bar apparently only came up with one other drink idea, which I ended up getting two drinks listed on the menu (both very good) but it seemed like work for her to go out of her way to inquire. I also bet they could have made many fruity drinks, like maybe a Mai Tai, or some equivalent. Oh well. On the other hand, the Paloma was actually very good. It was a quality Paloma and I do recommend. Their other drink was seasonal with lavender, also a very nice drink. Most of the other places, like Honcho, I have no problem with getting a variety of drinks or inquiring about them, and the bar tender here did a great job. I came here because I was targeted by an ad on Instagram. This place was not on my radar, but since they created a meal (Steak-frites) very similar to Le Relais in Paris and New York, etc... I wanted to try it. It came with bottomless parm fries. The fries were crispy, savory, and delightful. The steak was super well cooked and was like butter. You did not even need a knife, it cut with a fork. Since I love next day leftovers, the steak was still super delicious and tender the next day. It was still like butter and cut with a fork. I would absolutely come back for that and bring the rest of my family. We also tried the tri-tip sandwich. We were told the bread was made fresh. I thought it was very good and very tender. My husband would have liked an au jus or horseradish sauce. He would try the hamburger next, but I would love another steak-frites, like right now! We were sad the coffee and pastry section closed early. In the past, at Honcho, we would get coffee and pastry after dinner since their coffee tends to be really good and quality. I would consider coming for brunch to try some. We talked to a gentleman who was part of the business as he was working hard. He was very kind and knowledgeable and took the time to hear our thoughts. I told him I was here for the steak. He thought I had a "but". I did not, it was great and I hope they can maintain that price point and the second serving of fries, because that was my main reason for visiting. He let us know the menu recently changed. I am not able to compare since this was my first time, but I liked that they had a steak dinner and pizza. If we come back my oldest loves this group's pizza, she gets it at Vinsetta, and this one looked very good. read more

We stopped by Lincoln Yard last Saturday to try out the new menu being posted on their social media accounts. The menu did not disappoint. My husband wanted to try the pepperoni pizza as an app, but we opted to try to the new elote pizza instead for a bit of a twist. The pizza was one of the best we ever had. The Peruvian sauce drizzled on top was so good, we could have gladly dipped each bite in the sauce. For entrees we ordered the tri tip sandwich, the pork Milanese, and the Wagyu steak frites. All were amazing and served in generous portions. The parmesean fries that accompanied the sandwich and Wagyu had great flavor and were perfectly crispy. Even our son who generally doesn't love parmesean loved the fries. The pork Milanese was pounded thin with a light breading and a flavorful sauce atop a potato celery root mash. Now....the pot pie. None of us had ever eaten a pot pie. That's right never. However, as the number one pot pie in Michigan we couldn't resist ordering to give it a taste. Wow - we can see why it holds that title. The cheddar biscuit topping was unique and the perfect complement to the pie, especially with the hot honey drizzle adding just the right amount of sweetness. Filled with their famous rotisserie chicken, a creamy sauce and fresh veggies it was outstanding. We topped off the night with the salted caramel bumpy cake. A rich and decadent dessert making elevating a Michigan staple to the next level. The new menu is a hit and we will be back soon. read more

Decided to come back and try the lunch/dinner menu with my kids. The dinner experience was a big improvement on my previous visit. The kids both had the burgers with parm fries, and I had the Cesar salad with blackened salmon. We were really hungry so I forgot to take pictures, and we devoured our food. Kids said the burgers and fries were some of the best and my salad and salmon were quite tasty as well. Our server was sweet and provided good info on the options for some of our dietary restrictions. We'll be back. read more

It was a beautiful summer day on their patio so we started with a glass of their orange wine. Our server gave us the right amount of attention and our food came out as ordered and looking good. My husband enjoyed his burger and fries while I had their wings and a side of Mac and cheese. Good food, not over the top delicious, but we will be back. My only issue was that when we asked for dessert to go (bumpy cake), it was presented on a plate with two spoons and we were given a box. That didn't make too much sense since the caramel drizzle was all over the plate and hard to get in the to go box. It would have been better prepared in the takeaway container. Note: plenty of free parking on a non-busy street. read more

*** Very airy environment; love this space. *** It looks like a creative garage conversion. Nice. And their entree portions are quite generous. That said, they were disappointingly "bland". *** Must try again. Perhaps an off day? *** read more

I have been hearing about this place a lot recently so I met a friend for dinner on a Monday. When you walk in, you are greeted by a bright and vibrantly decorated dining room with the bar, pizza oven station, and kitchen all visible to the patrons. The tables and chairs look a bit like they were revived from the mid-80's but I believe that is by design and not truly "old" furniture. Still comfy... We were seated right away by a pleasant hostess, given menus, and then greeted by our server, Tommy, who was very cheerful despite still busy taking care of his crowded section. We each ordered the Bunkhouse Baseline Deluxe (basically, a double patty smash burger served with fries). When mine arrived, I cut into it so I could eat half at a time and found it to be very undercooked so I called Tommy over and he had it remade. He did not make me feel like I was being picky or that I was putting them out. He apologized and quickly rushed it over to the kitchen. I appreciated how kind he was about it. The kitchen must have moved my order to the top of the pile because he had a new plate to me in record time. He also waited for me to cut into it to be sure it was cooked all the way through. It was and I happily scarfed down half the meal right away. The burger is excellent - I highly recommend if you like smash burgers. The fries were homemade and they make their own version of ranch dressing (a buttermilk, dill dressing that was very tasty with the fries). There were other dishes on the menu I'd like to try so I'll likely return. read more

We really enjoyed our time at Lincoln Yard. It's an interesting location with a wood burning pizza oven and a decent vegan menu. There is also a coffee / breakfast spot called Little y Yard that is located within. We split the rotisserie chicken which was absolutely perfect. The craft cocktails were a delicious pairing. read more

Cool looking interior. Used to be an old bus garage for BHam schools here. Zach is waiting on us. He didn't need to write anything down. Good memory. Ordered super salad jr, half Caesar, no croutons, rotisserie chicken with Peruvian chili, curried couscous, Napa slaw, olive oil and orange cornbread, white bean soup, lobster Union Mac, side of Brussels. $113.27 They do charge you for using CC, of course they do. How annoying. The white bean soup sample is good, bit lemony, comes with potatoes. Food all comes out in a timely manner. The super salad Jr is okay, the tomatoes are wilted or roasted some, not my favorite. The Caesar salad is good. Comes with garlic panko instead of croutons. The lobster union Mac wasn't bad, the penne pasta doesn't work for the Mac, the spiral would have been a better noodle. The rotisserie chicken is good, not dry. The Peruvian chili tastes fresh, not much heat to it though. The curried couscous was so-so, not my thing. The Napa cabbage salad was good. The olive oil orange cornbread with the spicy honey butter was good, you need the butter since the cornbread is quite grainy and dry. Table clean-up is a bit slower. read more

Really wanted to like this place... I came with friends for brunch and liked the atmosphere, menu looked great on paper and so did the plating presentation! I was already thinking in my head how I want to come back with my family... until I tried my food. It is truly unfortunate. My food was blend. As nicely as it looked - it didn't have any flavor. Neither did the food my friends had. (Oh, and the service was painfully slow). read more

Very cute place, the candle in the entrance was a nice touch. From there the smells only got better. Our server was very nice, seemed slow, although it was very busy.

I'm a fan of Union Joints, except for a previous experience at Fenton Fire Hall (now closed), I have enjoyed dining at the various joints. So when I learned of Lincoln Yard while in the neighborhood, I was eager to try. Since it was still warm, patio dining was available, in addition to the large dining area and bar. The seats by the pizza oven are probably the best in the house. I would love to watch the pizza brown and the cheese get bubbly. Though not vast, there is something for everyone on this menu. For lunch, in addition to salads, sandwiches, and pizza, a few rotisserie and smoked meats are available. Of course, a few mac and cheese dishes, a Union Joints staple, are also available. There are some vegan options, for example, rotisserie cauliflower and stuffed sweet potatoes that I would have happily had. I ordered the olive oil and orange cornbread. I loved the flavor combination and the sweet/spicy butter that accompanied it, but thought that it was overbaked (so dry!). For the main, I had the Otto Burger with bacon added. The burger was topped with raclette cheese, tomato aioli, and red onion jam. Unfortunately, ¼ of the patty was inexplicably cooked to a "well done" temperature whereas the rest was more medium rare, my preferred temperature. I also did not like one of the toppings - not sure which one added the odd taste. The fries were superb: a tender interior with a nice crispy exterior. The Lobster Mac and Cheese was stellar, of course. That was to be expected. There were nice chunks of lobster mixed into the tender, cheesy noodles. The server was friendly and helpful. read more

Food, drinks and service were excellent. We are sad this restaurant is leaving. Thank you to everyone who made our experiences great.

For the second Saturday in a row, I was watching Fox 2 News Detroit and they did a great job of showcasing a local business, Lincoln Yard. It is located in a neighborhood in Birmingham that I previously lived in for over 5 years quite some time ago and they converted the former bus garage to a unique space. Union Joints is a familiar local business group to me due to a couple of their outstanding restaurants in nearby Clarkston. I was curious to try as I wasn't aware of this establishment previously as it is at a location a little off of the path across from the local ice arena. I saw several delicious items for breakfast, but I had already made my own breakfast that morning and was really yearning for the chicken pot pie that I had seen featured on the news. They mentioned to me that was an entree from the dinner menu and I was there in the late brunch timeframe. The Chef even was kind enough to chat with me that the chicken pot pie was so popular, they were challenged keeping up with demand which is a great sign in my opinion. Therefore, I examined the brunch menu and decided on the Company Chicken Sandwich. It was a grilled chicken sandwich with a delicious aioli, green goddess sauce, and was served with a side of fries. The sandwich and fries were a very nice second choice and I enjoyed the atmosphere seated at one of the two bars adjacent to the open dining area sipping a Michigan made Cheboygan Blood Orange Honey beer. As I was sitting there I struck up a conversation with a friendly lady, Olivia, that was seated next to me who had previously worked with Union Joints and explained more of the back story which was interesting to hear. Amani provided attentive service at the circular bar, and I noticed she also seemed to be covering some adjacent tables as well as the restaurant was very popular this morning. Much to my surprise, Kylie, the General Manager, came by with a "to go" bag which included the desired pot pie I originally came for at "no charge" which blew me away as a customer although I generously compensated my gratuity to cover this genuine kindness you just can't make up. Then, a few minutes later, one of the owners, Curt Catallo, came by and we discussed my wonderful and very surprising experience as a first time customer at this location. I shared with him my experience and how helpful it was to have his business featured on the news as I wouldn't have known about it otherwise even though I was very familiar with the neighborhood. My theme this year is "Kindness meets kindness " and I am thrilled to write this review based on my unique experience on this day. I can't wait to try the pot pie later. I definitely will be a repeat customer as businesses that treat their staff and their customers with such kindness and respect truly deserve to thrive! read more

I look forward to going back to this super trendy restaurant. The interior is fresh and hip. They have garage doors that open up to let the fresh air in. The food...OMG! It's fantastic! A friend and I went during the week around 5:00. It starts to get crowded, so you might want to make reservations. The service and food are worth the wait if there happens to be a wait. I would give it more than 5 stars. read more

Good quality was far below what I've come to expect from a Union joint. Would not recommend for brunch.

Went there for brunch today with a large group. I didn't even know this place existed until today, but it is owned by the same people who own the Clarkston Union and Vinsetta Garage, so I will be back! I had the chorizo burrito with crispy redskins. The potatoes were so good that I couldn't stop eating them to eat the burrito. I also ordered the cinnamon-caramel monkey bread to share, which I didn't get a picture of because I tore into it as soon as it was set in front of me. It was also delicious! My only issue was that some of the food wasn't hot enough for my liking. I started with a chai latte that was a bit too lukewarm for my taste, and my burrito was downright cool. I didn't send it back because I didn't want my potatoes to get cold and also I was pretty full by that point anyway. Lily (our server) was great! We were a group of almost 20 and I found her to be very attentive and super sweet! read more

Lincoln Yard - Chorizo burrito with crispy redskin potatoes - Comfort Food Near Me - Birmingham, Michigan

I've been here 3x in as many weeks. Best items: salted caramel bumpy cake; hummus and pita; corn bread, La Rotisserie pizza and the Spiced Iced Tea Buck. Things to pass on: Brussels sprouts and an unpopular opinion - the mac n cheese. Just as an FYI: If you sit in the "lounge" space, you can only order starters, pizza and drinks. Service: the 1st visit, our waitress seemed to disappear and we would have to wave her over. The 2nd and 3rd visits, the service was great. read more

There are so many dishes I love here!! Choose your own: chicken or cauliflower and then 1 sauce (lemon tahini!) and 2 sides (mashed sweet potatoes are the bomb! And I love beets) but this menu choice is really crying out for bread so either add a pizza (we chose schwarma pizza) or the cornbread (also very good- we've had it previously) PLUS they have a vigorous non alcoholic menu and I've enjoyed every can I've tried - the only miss is their kale salad- it's a great deal at $9 for a half size (it's huge!) but it's very wet and a little tasteless- the crunchy chickpeas are already soggy when you get it Everything else here is worth every dollar- huge portions so order to share or take it home They continue to struggle with service- very very nice servers but they're covering a lot of tables - hard to find help for everyone so not their fault - it was a Monday evening (6pm) and they needed more than one on the floor- it's a popular place, even the bar area- food is so good! read more

Last evening (7/20/26) I joined friends for drinks and fellowship. For many of us, it was our first visit to Lincoln Yard. We sat on the lovely patio. The patio is clean, spacious and has high quality out door furniture. Aubrey our server was couteous, professional and delivered just the right amount of attention. We were pleased with our drink selections. There's a nice variety of beverages. We were pleased with our drinks. I also ordered the roasted beet salad with added Tri-tip steak. While I enjoyed the salad, I felt the presentation could have been better. It needed more arugula for a pop of color and balance. I would return for a meal but would probably order something different next time. read more

While visiting family in the Detroit area, we ate at this delicious restaurant. What really stood out, other than the pot pie I ordered, was the friendly service. It really added to the experience my family and I had. The staff genuinely seemed to be happy and provided a pleasant experience. Everyone was more than satisfied with what the ordered. It was a great space for kids to enjoy and a variety of menu options. We will for sure be back during our next trip! read more

Sat outside and immediately felt like I was in Greece! Super cute summery vibe here.

Only con was that it felt like the inside and outside communication was very separate throughout the experience but it could have just been an off day. Will def come back! read more

Wow! This might be my favorite union group restaurant! Since discovering Lincoln Yard two weeks ago we have visited 3 times! First visit- brunch! Brunch here was fantastic! The menu is very reasonably priced and we love the fun flavor additions to brunch classics! We got the grilled cheese with tomato soup and the chicken burrito! They were both classic yet unique and I would recommend trying them. We were so impressed that we tried dinner just a few days later Visit 2- dinner For dinner we started off with the dip trio, and it's a MUST ORDER! My husband is from Turkey and it typically so picky when it comes to Mediterranean inspired dishes in the US. But this was a winner. He loved the spices in the dips and the fresh bread. I am typically not a hummus fan but this dip hit different and it was both of our favorites. For entrees I got the Brussel sprout special bowl and omg the yogurt sauce better stay on the menu because we dipped everything in that. My husband got the chicken and you need to as well. I LOVE grocery store rotisserie chicken but this was next level. I've never had chicken so moist, seasoned, and perfect. Honestly life changing. The sides where also fantastic but if you've ever been to any other union restaurant, you'd know that already. Visit #3 -breakfast at little yard Not even 12 hours after our dinner at Lincoln yard we decided that we had to come back and try their quick service breakfast. Just like everything else, it was fantastic. Some of THE BESY COFFEE I've had in the area and the prices were kinda crazy low. We both had the nyc bagel breakfast sandwich. It was fresh, seasoned, and delicious. At each of our visits the service was stellar. I'm usually such a photo person but we devoured this food so quick my phone definitely did not eat first. The atmosphere is so cool and the decor is beautiful. I can't wait till it warms up and we can check out the patio because there is no doubt that we will be back! read more

Great food - and pretty affordable for the area! Also we were able to get in on a Friday night when everything else was booked! The atmosphere was retro cool - I would love to come in the summer - outside looked amazing. I had The Roman. It was a simple but delicious pizza - and quite large! I had lots of leftovers. My son had the beef shortrib which was amazing!!!! Tender and full of flavor. His sides were brussel sprouts (both of us thought they were the best dish of the night), and the mac & cheese (solid). The cocktails looked fun, but I was driving, so maybe next time. Great choice in Birmingham. read more

I've been eyeing this place for a while and I was in the area and finally able to give it a try. It's not far off Woodward and with a little help from Google, I found it. It's part of one of my favorite restaurant groups, Union Joint! They have a coffee shop area with pastries off to the side, but the main dining room is where I was headed. It was lunchtime and I was starving! It wasn't busy at all and I was seated immediately by the host. The lunch menu wasn't huge but has a great selection of options. I with with the otto burger, and it came with fries. I was dying of thirst so I stuck it out with water. But, they're beverages are quite good from what I understand. The food came out and it was super good. Plenty of fries, and I was stuffed when I was one. I also love how the place is decorated as well. Very spacy, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating along with a beautiful patio area. They also have garage doors that open, which are pretty cool! My server was wonderful and I really enjoyed my time here. The atmosphere is here is great. Clean, relaxed with space to move about. Thank you Lincoln Yard! read more

This place tries so hard and misses the mark. The food is either bland (chicken) or overly salted. The kids meals are presented like an airplane meal which does not make it appetizing to look at.

I feel like we were in a different universe tonight. Everything was picture PERFECT! We asked our server to make recommendations and they were amazing. We had the hummus (best I've ever had, and I make hummus!), kimchi fries ~ omg!!! I had the chopped salad (I'll be having that for tomorrow's lunch too) was just so darn good I wish I could've eaten more!! My daughter had pizza and we can honestly say, it looked and tasted nothing like the 2 we had ordered before. This one was perfectly done and we all just had to taste it. Can't wait to come back just for pizza again!! Your manager came over to make sure everything was ok, and she had the most beautiful personality. Your restaurant is in good hands with her!!! Our sweet server couldn't have been kinder and we left her a tip enough to tell her how much we appreciated her!!

It's an independent building with their own parking so it was easy to get in and out of this location. The table seating was awkward because we came a large group.
