    This was the perfect visit. I was the last customer of the evening during Feb restaurant week. Dinner was $25 for a 3 course selection. This was my very first time visiting The union Kitchen, and I'm so glad I came. I ordered the Philly egg rolls as my app choice, My main course I had the Island breeze Fish, with the coconut rice, which was very nice (I'm not much of a coconut girl because of texture, but this was perfect) and the red velvet cake as my dessert. Everything was very good. So great in fact that I wanted to dine here twice during HRW, but didn't get the chance to do so. The service was very friendly and attentive, I appreciate the management feedback and her invitation back with a coupon offer. I will defiantly be returning here to explore the menu more.

    Caribbean Fish Tacos

    Nice space and roomie booths. Waiter recommended to change the fish tacos fish to cod and it's was a great suggestion. When plating leftovers, he even stated he would put on gloves to put it in to go containers for us. That was awesome!

    Located off of Memorial in a shopping plaza, Union Kitchen's menu is pretty close to a traditional American diner with some add-on options. Came by for lunch and service was solid; quick and on point. Got the bang bang chicken and crab cakes for apps. The crab cakes weren't honestly very good and I couldn't find any crab in the middle of the breading. The shrimp came on a bed of slaw/salad and was actually better than it looked. I had hoped the shrimp would've been battered slightly better and had a stronger sauce. I got the blackened redfish orleans for my main. It was a bit busy and not very Cajun at all. The sausage slices were a bit bland and I did not enjoy the brown sauce very much; the dish looked much more flavorful/complex than it is. Overall the flavor was a bit below expectations but it's my first time trying out the menu and definitely could've ordered sub-optimally and missed out on their heavy hitters.

    We had a work event here in the private room and it was amazing! Dana was so easy to work with and made sure everything was perfect and that everyone was taken care of. Taylor, Veronica, and Art were our servers for the evening and they were very pleasant and attentive. This is the 3rd time I have been here and I would definitely recommend to anyone for casual or celebration or private event. The food is delicious and they have a great variety to select from. It is reasonably priced (especially for an event like ours!). They also have a GREAT happy hour. Thank you Dana & team for a lovely evening! Will definitely be back

    The brunch selection i observed looked amazing although I had hammer on my mind. I got the Hamburger Bowl. Burger was cooked to perfection and topped with cheese & onion strings which all sat atop a bowl of lettuce & fries. I felt the fries, which were covered in cheese, were a little soggy. If I order again, I will definitely omit the French fries and lean in on more salad greens. The staff was courteous with two managers stopping by to check in on needs and opinions. The ambiance was mixed- beautiful back room for private parties, beautiful bar, beautiful & unique lighting but, the pictures on the wall were childish versions of wine bottles- would recommend Union reach out to an art college & have one of the talented kids help them out. Why four, well 3.5 isn't an option and 3 is too low for the promise it showed. there were SO many amazing dishes - the fish and chips looked amazing. I will be back. And the flavor was there, the meat very fresh & cooked to perfection- I'd just skip the fries next time.

    Tell me the last time you spent 4 hours at a brunch-themed all things Queen Béy AND Renaissance?! From the decor, to the themed menu items, to the pop-up photo-ops, Hector & Jeff @theunionkitchenhou were amazing hosts for our lively Renaissance brunch affair! Honeycomb drinks?! "Blue(berry) Ivy" biscuits?! Personal swag bags? Count me in! As if I needed another reason to pull out my silver boots & cosplay alongside some newfound @heynewfriends! The jell-o shots were plentiful, as were the mimosa flights! I'll for sure be back (&maybe by then The Queen Béy drink can be a permanent menu item...).

    Boost Bowl

    I have been going to this restaurant fora little over the last year and always highly recommend it. I have celebrated my birthday here 3 times. I went this past May for my birthday for a late lunch with my boss and coworker and although the food was on point, like always, the server was not very friendly and did not come to check on our table often at all despite the restaurant being almost empty. It felt as though we were being rushed out. But I chalked it up to maybe he was having a bad day. Following week my friends wanted to have a brunch on Sunday to do a late bday celebration so here I was again. And got the same waiter. Again- he was not friendly and rushed us to leave. Even brought us our checks without asking if we were done and we were still in the middle of our mimosas. Had he not brought our checks we would have ordered another bottle and dessert. Very disappointed in the service as I usually rave about this place and usually highly recommend. I don't feel welcome any more. Not sure what is going on but I hope if I go again we don't experience this treatment again.

    Let's start with my server, Veronica, she was AMAZING! She was very kind; I ordered a mimosa and it was flat, I was hesitant to say anything about any issues with the taste of my drink, she fixed it and even offered other options. She told me never to apologize that she is there to serve me. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. The restaurant was clean along with the restrooms. We had pasta, chicken and waffles, omelettes and pancake tacos. It was all tastefully delicious. I will definitely be back. The experience was amazing.

    Sarah's Chicken Avocado

    The Sarah's Chicken Avocado burger has black avocados and there is too much mayo that is sloppy applied. There is no care for presentation and the ingredients are not fresh, the quality is lacking.

    Texas sheet cake
    Benetta P.

    Excellent service. Excellent food. The asparagus was amazing. It was fried perfectly. The coating was very flavorful. The shrimp topping was delicious and a perfect pairing. The crab cakes were very meaty. They were not fried hard. They were soft and delicious. The topping on them was delicious. The crab and shut tuna tower was perfect. The shrimp scampi pasta was delicious. The steak was cooked to order but had no seasoning on it at all. The Texas sheet cake was not a cake and not a brownie but a thick piece of fudge candy.

This is ridiculous!! Additionally, she argues with the patron that they don't have beef when the menu clearly says they do. Great customer service is ensuring the patron received what they pay for and have a great experience. This service was PURE D Trash!! On the flip side these beignets taste like old grease.

Service was very good, friendly, and attentive... food was just as good, and came out pretty fast. We all went with the 2 course lunch offering, which turned out to be a really great deal. We ordered the Ceviche with chips, Gumbo, Wedge, Tuna Osaka, Trout, Cheeseburger, and Fish Sandwich...... the Wedge and Fish Sandwich were for me. Everything was absolutely delicious! Ok, our fries came out rather luke warm, but our server was more than happy to have them replaced with really fresh and hot fries. Ingredients were very fresh, everything prepared just right, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their orders. A very nice place for a delicious lunch, in a very comfortable and classy casual environment, with great service. And again, the 2 course lunches are a great deal!

They have a very big menu with a wide range of offerings for brunch. They have pancakes, French toast, Benedicts, shrimp & grits, streak and more! And, they do have a kids menu available as well. Our table enjoyed a few appetizers including the crab cakes and bruschetta. I ordered the chicken & waffles which was a very well-seasoned flattened chicken breast laid on top of a Belgium waffle. I enjoyed those but did not like the grits. There was a flavor, that I still can't put my finger on, that just wasn't my cup of tea. Service was friendly but seemed a little frazzled. Forgetting bag of takeout food in the kitchen, 3 separate trips to bring coffee, sugar & a spoon, having to ask a couple of times for something. But overall, we had a nice experience and would return.
