Wanted to grab a girl's brunch and after someone shared a pic of the pancake board to the group chat, we all agreed lol Pancake board looked great, tasted pretty good. No single item in particular knocked my socks off, but the combo of silver dollar pancakes, donut bites, mini muffins and fruit - and of course the accompanying spreads (fudge, caramel, cinnamon butter, Nutella and whipped cream), it was a really nice shareable spread. The crab benedict was my most anticipated item, but also the most disappointing. It was just small and really, really bland. Breakfast pizza was pretty good. The egg yolks were done nicely. Again, not phenomenal but a solid brunch share. Carnitas egg rolls, now those were great! I was actually trying to order the carnitas benedict but the waitress misunderstood, ended up being my fave! Now to the real bummer of the experience. Thank goodness we were catching up and the convo was great cause it made it easier to not focus on the underwhelming service. There were just really, really long periods of no one checking in. Waitress was often mia, but all the staff seemed inattentive. Sides and sauces requested either never came or long after being requested. Had to even refill our own water from the pitchers. We were there over 3 hours largely just waiting for things. Gave up drinking as they were taking 30-45 min to arrive. I know there are shortages, but when we'd finally see our waitress she'd zip by quickly, not even looking at us. Party of 6 and I think she only came to us twice. Every other time we had to flag someone down. The carnitas egg rolls are the only thing that makes me feel like they might be worth a second shot. Tbh tho, I'd probably just order to go or try a different location. read more

we had the salmon special, the delightful baked goat cheese appetizer and a wedge salad. service was great- Brett was in the ball. drinks were delightful. this is our local "go-to" restaurant for date night read more

What a quaint little place tucked away in the corner of the shopping center. Honestly 4.5 stars. Staff: Everyone from the greeter, waitress, Manager who stopped by just delightful, all smiling, happy to make small talk & engage with you. Very nice people. Olivia was the waitress just a doll. The Manager was iver the top pleasant & down to earth. Thanking for stopping by etc. Restaurant: Casual upscale, you can make this a fancy romantic dinner with cloth linens or just stop by on your way to the grocery store. Wine glasses set the scene for an elegant table setting. Food: Grilled salmon, mashed potatoes & fresh vegetables my kind of dish all the way. The salmon was cooked perfectly, flaky but juicy not dry, lots of herbs, not over salted, healthy & flavorful. The mashed potatoes fresh, not too thick, add a dab of salt perfect. I admire that they do not overly season the food which is perfect if your watching your sodium intake or just eating healthier in general. Veggies were not soaked in butter or salt either, cooked not super crunchy but a little crunch. This dish leaves you full & feeling fine! Crab stuffed shrimp & mashed potatoes: The large shrimp are split & stuffed with crab cake, battered & fried. If your expecting large crab pieces it's not, it's more of a breaded crab mixture but lots of it. They are huge & cooked until well done so the batter is not gummy. It's a great dish, heavy & filling there are 5 large stuffed shrimp in total with this dish & a side order (see above for mashed potatoes description) Dessert: Lemon Cake - So delightful, light fluffy lemon cake with lemon creme in between 3 layers topped with raspberry drizzle. Lemon & raspberry are such awesome pairings with the sweet & the tart from the lemon. You won't be disappointed. Carrot Cake - 3 layers of cake packed with carrots, raisins & walnuts galore, no shortage there. In between is a light, not too sweet cream cheese light whipped & airy frosting. This also was a treat. They earned my business again from this visit, definitely looking forward to trying different dishes as I can't believe this was my first time at this establishment. Awesome job. Thanks for everything. read more

Brett, at the Memorial Drive location, was a great and personable server! He took the time to chat with us, and made sure we (and our dog) were taken care of! The food was great too! read more

By far, one of my favorite restaurants to enjoy a nice brunch! If you're looking for a restaurant to enjoy a good meal on the patio, look no further then 'The Union Kitchen'! I've been a fan for years, sadly the location closest to me closed down during the pandemic however, I drive out of my way to visit the Memorial location because it's worth it. The service is always great, the food is fresh & delicious! On this last visit I decided to try their lobster omelette & let me tell you, it was superb! Be warned, it's a 3 egg omelette, I could barely eat half but I enjoyed the other half for dinner! I'm not one to reheat brunch leftovers but it was that good! Perfectly fluffy eggs, Gouda (best cheese ever) + plentiful fresh lobster! Our waiter (Antonio) was attentive & charismatic! Another great brunch in the books! Till next time! read more

5 stars for happy hour and their Thursday beer/burger special! Happy hour is $3 for select beers. But you can get a beer and burger on Thursday's for ~$10 which is a great steal. The burger was cooked well and very juicy. I added truffle fries for $2 and highly recommend that route if you like truffle! The manager David was really kind and made us feel welcome. The servers were all super fun and outgoing. Patio seating is open to furry friends! read more

The food here is delicious but the service is really bad. We waited almost 40 minutes for our waitress to take our order. She came a few minutes after we sat to ask if we were ready (we weren't), then she dropped off some waters and we didn't see her again. So, we received our meals over an hour after we sat down. We didn't order any appetizers or soups/salads so we weren't waiting on those to finish up. I think almost everyone at our table had their drinks filled up 3-4 times before we received dinner. It was very strange. It's also very loud! Wouldn't recommend if you're wanting to hear the people you're with. read more

I visited The Union Kitchen for brunch on Saturday. I wasn't too busy, which I was excited about. When I walked in, the staff was amazing, friendly, and guided me to the party I was meeting. We sat on the patio as the weather was nice. The service was ok. The server was average. She offered no suggestions or recommendations. Nothing wowed about her service, but she wasn't terrible. We ordered the make your own mimosas which were amazingly priced at $21.99 for a bottle of champagne and 2 juice choices. As for food, I had the breakfast egg rolls. They were ok. Nothing to write home about. I ordered the steak breakfast burrito as my entree and it was bland. No flavor whatsoever. Needless to say, I barely nibbled on it, but didn't wanna complain & send it back, so I took the L. I'd be open to giving them another shot. read more

The miso salmon was great. Perfectly cooked with coconut rice and mixed vegetables. But, the amazing part was the staff, particularly the night manager. I went to pick up my order just before closing only to find out it had been mistakenly given to a delivery driver. I wasn't upset, and they immediately offered to remake it, but I was so hungry. The night manager overhead me mention that and offered me a slice of her pizza! Never has a slice tasted so good. I was just a nice gesture she didn't have to do. Also, I normally get my orders delivered, so I had no idea the spaciousness of the dining room and the patio. There is also a bar area with a few TVs if you like sports. read more

Our experience at The Union Kitchen was, and always is, a memorable experience! Our server, Brett H, was a wonderful host (every time!). He makes our night always a great time, thru his recommendations on wine, to his hilarious stories and more importantly, menu recommendations. His co-pilot, Veronica is also a wonderful employee, as they make a wonderful tag team. The food was amazing, the wine was amazing, the ambiance is always on point, but the best part of the experience is Brett and the people at this establishment. We are forever loyal to this location! read more

We went for brunch! Food was great! The pancakes are delicious and fairly large size.

We have visited for Sunday brunch a few times. The food is consistently very good. But the service. Is. Consistently. Slow. In and of itself, slow service doesn't bother me all that much as long as the server is attentive. Today, that wasn't the case. We waited several minutes before our server greeted us. We had to ask twice for coffee. Upon completing our meal, nearly ten minutes passed from the time I requested our check to its delivery. When I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go. Which brings me back to the food. Delicious. Today I tried the chicken-fried steak with eggs and hash brown potatoes. Served with a biscuit and a tureen of sausage gravy, it hit the spot. Will we return? Sure. For the food. read more

Good morning, I booked the private dining area for my wedding rehearsal dinner.There were so many things that were terrible I don't know where to start.  First when my guests arrived there were not enough tables and chairs for the guests. Secondly, my event was scheduled for 645 with a preset menu, but we didn't receive our food until well past 8 close to nine. The guests were so hungry they had to ask for bread because the food took FOREVER. THEN to make matters worse the rice was super under cooked. It was hard an unedible. For the amount of time that we had to wait and on top of it being a PRESET MENU, no food should have been undercooked! Especially on a 1200 + tab. To make matters worse when I brought this issue to the manager (a Hispanic female I was given a gift card for 25 dollars as a sorry! Honestly I feel like that was a slap in the face for the lack of preparation on you guys part! Union Kitchen  ruined my once in a lifetime event! read more

Great place for breakfast and brunch. This place can get pretty crowded but the line moves quickly. We had the Pete's Colorado Omelet and Crispy Crab Cakes Beni's for breakfast. Both items come with breakfast potatoes. The items came out quickly and served hot. Ketchup and Tabasco or other hot sauces need to be requested. Good experience and will return. Large parking lot shared with the strip center. read more

This place does a good job at serving Hearty American Fare. I met my galpals (coworkers) here in early December for a mini-holiday party. Seating in the outside patio was prompt and service was quick and attentative. We started off with the Lobster Potstickers to share. They were tasty but the filling was a bit sparse (as expected). I think the price point is a bit high for the quantity of lobster received. For my entrée I ordered the Lobster Grilled Cheese and was pleased to discover that I can trade out the chips for some healthier alternates (I got the Roasted Brussel Sprouts). This sandwich was the stuff of dreams. The brioche bread had just the right level of buttery toasted-ness and the lobster filling to gruyere / avocado ratio was generous. The tomato bisque provided a creamy, well-herbed complement. In the end I had to abandon the bread and focus on the lobster because it was just to much for me. read more

Our server, I believe his name was Jeff, was absolutely great! The food was pretty good too. We came during brunch and the all day menu was also available. I had been to another location a few years ago and remembered their was a Benedict trio on the menu. This is no longer on the menu so I decided to try something new. The lobster potstickers were delicious though. My fiends had a burrito and a veggie omelet that they liked. I would definitely come here again. read more

It's really a 4.5 star for me but I took a half-star off for ambiance. I came for brunch with a friend and was impressed by the menu that had something for everyone. The spinach and artichoke parm dip was the best dip I've ever had -- warm with the right bits of spinach and artichoke pieces -- and the extra stretchy melted parm cheese was a bit of embarrassing fun to navigate with their thin, salty, homemade-style tortilla chips. Though a bit desserty, the bananas foster French toast was sublime even for this French toast snob. I was impressed by the four pieces of toast studded with sweet berries and a judicious use of the homemade whip cream. I liked the bananas foster sauce, but I do wish it was on the side as I prefer my French toast with syrup. I returned and had the salmon salad. It was so light, healthy and delicious. And the salmon was cooked to perfection -- moist with slightly toasted edges and a warm buttery middle. I also liked seeing the calories on the menu. My only half ding was the ambiance is busy and noisy. I was hoping for more of a cafe, hearthy feel and it had more of an urban vibe. read more

Excellent service. We had brunch...beignets, deviled eggs, the hot mess, and California Benedict. All were very good. This is definitely a repeatable brunch. read more

What an amazing first experience!!! Celebrated my birthday with family and friends. The ambiance was very nice, very clean and friendly. Staff was helpful and very knowledgeable. Service was awesome. It feels upscale, with excellent menu and drink options. Their prices are very reasonable. This will definitely a place I will return to. I also saw a patio area. This would make a nice intimate date night location. read more

5 Stars for a Wonderful Anniversary Dinner with Three Generations Great place to celebrate 55 years of wedding bliss. Thanks to Harris, like the county, and Violet, like the flower, for making my parents' special anniversary dinner extra memorable. Too many choices and ... they will make modifications as well. Winning appetizers-- Charred Brussels sprouts, Texas blue lump crab cakes, and truffle mac and cheese. Love the crunchy char on the Brussels sprouts and the mac and cheese is decadently creamy. Pizza, Pizza-- Get the chicken and goat cheese with baby spinach and sundried tomatoes. Winning entrees-- Love the Napa Portobello Chicken, but the pistachio crusted chicken with artichoke hearts and mushrooms is a close second. Hubby loves the burger served with onion rings and truffle fries, because why choose when you can have frings? For seafood lovers, you can't go wrong with the redfish special or the crustacean special with the kitchen sink of shellfish- shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams. If you have room, so many great choices for dessert. Harris and Violet slaved in the kitchen all day and brought my parents their two favorites, Key Lime pie and carrot cake, snuggled on a beautiful plate together. Thanks for an exceptional meal and amazing service! read more

The union kitchen has been a staple for us for years. I've never bothered to write a review, but I might as well. We eat there at least twice a week. The service is amazing but the food is what keeps us coming back. I always get the hummus with some fresh jalapeño and it is truly amazing. My wife enjoys cauliflower crust, margarita pizza, and were never disappointed. read more

Great spot for brunch around the town! The crowd was perfect for COViD regulations , fairly small. This restaurant offered tons of outdoor seating and a great seating arrangement. You could choose to be seated under a tent or at an open outdoor table with an umbrella. The drink selection is endless. They offer tons of signature cocktails. Since I went during brunch I ordered the "penny mimosas" , the company's legal spin on bottomless mimosas that requires you to pay a penny per mimosa after your first. Pretty fair ! These were potent , My post brunch routine called for a nap after leaving. The food was such great quality. The shrimp and grits were packed with flavor and seasoning. The shrimp were very juicy and fresh. My boyfriend isn't a huge seafood lover but ordered this entree and was in love. He even commented on the freshness. The Napa chicken was scrumptious. The wine sauce complemented the mushroom and risotto well. I must say, this meal was quite feeling. I would recommend it to anyone looking for something sweet and savory. Overall, the service was pretty splendid. The manager stopped by to welcome us and our server was very attentive. As a brunch lover , I'll be coming back to this restaurant very soon. read more

I have had appetizers and drinks before at UK that I liked. This was my first entree and dessert and it was thru Door Dash. I had the meatloaf (which had good reviews). I liked the sauce but the meatloaf itself...instead of a nice chunk, there were two small pieces the thickness of a slice of bread! Disappointing. The green beans were lightly sautéed and rather tough, I'd prefer them more cooked. I had the chocolate mousse cake and there seemed to be tiny pieces of nuts IN the mousse, not just sprinkled on it. It was weird having that in what should have been smooth mousse. Overall a disappointing meal read more

Hmmm...let me just start this review off with saying we were the ONLY PEOPLE OF COLOR THERE. Lol. My mom, my sister and I decided to dine here after we did some shopping. Upon entering the restaurant, we were friendly greeted. I had to use the restroom and the restrooms were very clean! We sat outside on the patio which had a live performer there. He did cover songs, it was nice, wasn't too loud. Our server was okay. She shared what the soup of the day was and the entree. The soup of the day was the chicken tortilla soup. It was pretty good, I had added some hot sauce to it for a little kick. However, the server provided me with a soup and slid it on the table. Keep in mind, the tables DID NOT have a table cloth or anything on it. So who's to tell if the table was actually clean. I did not like that. So as I picked up the spoon, the spoon wasn't clean. *see the attached picture* We all ordered the classic fried shrimp. It came with fries and hush puppies. It was pretty good, the dipping sauces that came with it was pretty good too. Especially the one that tastes like BBQ lol. Nonetheless, average experience here. Just didn't like how it wasn't a diverse crowd but that's just me. read more

My husband and I came by during the busy, hectic lunch hour and decided to eat at the high top in the bar area. Dean, a kind gentleman came by our table, introduced himself and offered his recommendations along with our menus. Since we were on lunch, we opted for a tea and a soda but decided on one of the specials. I delighted in the Boost Bowl with a medium salmon as my protein. My husband ordered the New Union Burger. Dean topped off our drinks, never letting them get empty and brought out our food within a reasonable lunch-hour time. My salad bowl was full of greens, black beans, sweet roasted Mexican corn, topped with fresh avocado and a perfectly seared piece of salmon. My husband's burger was cooked just as he ordered and topped full of crisp onion rings and freshly baked chips. Neither of our plates had anything left, we polished off every bit of our menu items. While we did not have room for dessert, Dean brought out a to-go tea and wished us well. What a pleasure he was to have today! Dining at The Union Kitchen - Memorial was such a delight. We thoroughly enjoyed laughing with our waiter and getting deliciously, hot food in a reasonable time to get back to work. We will definitely be returning soon! read more
