Someone that lives in Mississauga had recommended the place based on their experience near them. Glad to have listened. Very friendly service. Well priced. Delicious food. We had a couple of the different burgers, short rib tacos, tuna sliders and swordfish tacos. We all thought it was great. We ended it with the cookies and ice cream. Just amazing soft cookies. We will definitely go back. read more

Came here with a coworker as we were working in the neighbourhood. We had made reservations and we were promptly seated as soon as we arrived. When the staff confirmed we were first time diners they comped us a free appetizer, the short rib firecracker which was absolutely delicious. We split the Koren Short Rib Tacos and we both ordered the swordfish burger, me with a side of fries and gravy and he with a dragon roll side. The short rib tacos were tasty but if I had to choose between the tacos and the short rib firecracker, I would order the firecrackers any day. As for the swordfish the roasted red pepper mayo was reminiscent of a sweet pepper jelly. It was tasty and the burger itself was good. I dont know if I would order it again because there are other items on the menu that I would like to try. If I had to describe the atmosphere, it reminded me of a hybrid between a Montanas with all the wood/cottage-y seating arrangements and a Joeys with its lively atmosphere and modern touches. We were happy with the service and the food. We will definitely be back to sample some of the other items on the menu. read more

We happened to stop by on our way home, we were well greeted by the friendly staff, seated and were approached by the owner/manager who upon hearing that it was our first visit brought over a complementary appetizer. Urban Social has a very Earthy atmosphere where the food is fresh and handmade. We ordered the Steak Frites. It was the perfect quantity and made exactly the way wanted it. It was amazing! Urban Social Eatery is well worth the visit and has definitely found two new long term customers. read more

Food is basic and the staffs are not that friendly. I could tell that they were talking shit and doing the bare minimum. Suppose to be a prestige bar but I've been to many crappy ghetto dive bars that has much better services. Would not recommend. read more

Great atmosphere for a casual get together. Ordered the Smokehouse Deluxe Burger it tasted good but felt very greasy. Really enjoyed munching on the fries. Didn't like the service, the waitress was giving us attitude and kept rushing us to order or to get the bill. Overall, would go again if in the neighbourhood but wouldn't travel all the way from uptown just to eat here. read more

Union Social Eatery - Smokehouse Deluxe Burger - American Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I've been to this location several times and it's usually always been a good experience. Some of the food items are incredible such as the almond chicken fingers, chicken curry noodle bowl and the burgers. They also have drink specials everyday of the week which makes it a great after work spot. The service is a bit lacking at times but it really depends on the night. I wouldn't go out of my way to check this place out but if you live or work In the area and want a great portion of food for a good price then this is your spot! read more

If there was a .5 i'd give it a 3.5 - Come on Yelp - let's get it together! Back to the review, This place is a solid pub, great renovation and the atmosphere is perfect. The menu is large and the drink menu equally large. On saturday they have kicking cocktails which are $2 off but from the menu it looks like choice vs. kicking is just a nomenclature for single or double - so my wife ordered a choice cocktail but made it kicking and it turns out they don't roll like that. I ordered a bottle beer but they brought a pint (not a big deal) but then my second beer a bottle of MGD tasted a bit off. We split the nachos which were by far the best thing we had - extra points for the tortilla bowls. The waitress wasn't having a great night because of the drink mixup and the attentiveness could have been upped a little (took a few tries for the ketchup). It sounds harsh, but the place was at 1/2 capacity. We ended up splitting the veggie burger and upgraded to the parmesan truffle fries - solid burger and fries nothing spectacular but i left really full! great value, great ambience, but the waitstaff, bill error (which was rectified), the beer / spirit mixup was a bit of a downer. I'd go back with a group. read more

1. Big eye tuna sliders ($10.96): Ahi bigeye tuna, wasabi napa slaw, sweet soy, pickled ginger - I ordered this appetizer for lunch and it was enough for me. Good balance of slaw and fish. The buns were soft and toasted. read more

Union Social Eatery - American Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I was very excited to see that a new restaurant had opened up near our 'hood. And one that seemed to have some pretty good veggie options to boot! Union Social Eatery is pretty much your classic pub fare with a few 'gourmet' twists. For example, the Parmesan Truffle Fries. I was SUPER excited to try these. I love Parmesan. I love truffles. I love fries. How could I NOT love these??! Well let me tell you. The fries were of the deliciously crispy and thin variety, however, the truffle flavour was a bit lacking and the parm was pretty generous, but not melted onto the fries enough so it was semi-hard to eat. All that to say, I did quite enjoy them. I would just say there is some room for improvement. For a main I had the West Coast Veggie Burger. As far as veggie burgers go, it was good, I mean, I ate it all. Nothing to write home about, but just a good standard veg burger with all the fixings! It did COME WITH avocado, which is a major bonus in my eyes. Usually that shit is extra. I would like to actually give them a rating of 3.5 just for that. Oh also, the pimm's cup! Not outstanding but just happy to see it on the menu. Love me some pimm's. All in all I will definitely go back when I am craving some pub food next. I think I will try the nachitos, as that is the next logical step. read more

First time here and was excited as I've heard only but good things. I got the braised rib firecrackers to start...amazing! Loved it. Grabbed three short rib tacos for lunch, they were very good as well however I have had better tacos in the city. I know it's not fair to compare but what can you do. It's my review. Service was very good, the server took her time to explain the menu and provide good recommendations, even though it was jam packed for lunch. Highly recommend a visit. Looking forward to going back. read more

i recently visited Union Social Eatery for the first time. I've heard good things about the restaurant so my expectations were somewhat high upon walking in. For the appetizer, my family and I decided to try the parmesan truffle fries. The fries were ok.. a little too greasy for my liking and the truffle flavour wasn't really there. For my main course I decided to try the West coast veggie burger. It was delicious! In all, the food was good, but not amazing. read more

Union Social Eatery - West coast veggie burger - American Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Atmosphere was welcoming and beautiful with a rustic feel. The service was amazing. The girls are really attentive and always refilled my pop and water. The food was a three star. The service was five star. Had the chicken carbonara pasta, way too much onion. The white cream sauce had so much onion it overpowered all the other flavours in the dish. The firecracker braised ribs were decent for 10 dollars. The burgers are average. I've had bigger and juicier patties before. Would come back here again because service was fabulous and atmosphere was nice. Food was decent and everything under 20 dollars so can't really complain. You pay for what you get. read more

This place is a solid 4 stars. Went for a few pints and eats, and was very satisfied with the results. Everything on the menu is under $20 (pre tax) so its at least not going to break the bank going there. In my case 2 pints, flatbread starter and sandwich main came to just over $50 including tip. Started with the Smokey Chicken Flatbread. The first and last bite had me thinking "mmmm smokey bacon" so no complaints there as a bacon lover. As a main, I went with the turkey club sandwich that came on awesome Ace Bakery cranberry foccacia bread. Very good and the turkey was thick cut deli style but in this case I wish the bacon was a bit more noticeable like it was on the flatbread. Interior is nice, lots of reclaimed wood or brick walls. For some reason I felt the place still lacked identity. Maybe because aside from the nice wall surfaces, there was no art or lighting fixtures or really anything at all. Service was well intentioned, although a bit off their game in attentiveness. And I'm not sure how I feel about the name (something about Eatery reminds me of an environment similar to "Moe's Family Feedbag" from the Simpsons, but this place it far from that in reality). In the end, while I am rarely in the St Claire area - should I return I will likely come back here for my dining needs. read more

This is our favourite spot for lunch and brunch. The food is consistently great and well priced. The real standout is the service. The girls are all friendly, courteous and professional. They go out of their way to make sure we have a wonderful experience. Rachel is a favourite server. She is bubbly and engaging, remembers what our drink preferences are and really cares that we have a good time. We really enjoy going there. read more

This restaurant (particularly, Esther) was excellent in helping me organize my boyfriends' surprise 30th birthday bash. It was a great turn out based on the service we all received. Service: Servers were very attentive and organized. There were about 3 waitresses taking our orders. We were a medium sized group of about 20 people. And none of us had to wait long for our food or drink. Food: Excellent for a casual resto/bar. There is a great assortment of items to choose from, including gluten free options. I recommend the parmesan truffle fries, roasted mushroom melt burger, and almond crusted chicken tenders. Everything on the menu is under $20! Atmosphere: We had a long table set up in the back, it made our gathering more private. There was enough room for all of us to walk around to chat with one another. The ambience is great with a good balance of volume of music and lighting. The restaurant was very accommodating and made every effort to honour my requests (ie. decor, cake cutting, set up) which definitely made me happy and made my surprise party a success. I highly recommend this place for any occasion!! read more

Atmosphere , service and food was excellent. Went here on a Monday evening and it wasn't busy at all . Check it out if you haven't been here! read more

Union Social Eatery - Candy salad with rare ahi tuna - American Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Union Social Eatery is a lovely place with a very warm and cozy atmosphere. The menu is pretty diverse. I think that most people would be able to find something that they like here. I ordered the Roasted Vegetable Flatbread and the Candy House Salad from the Gluten Sensitive menu. Both were delicious. Gluten free crust is usually kind of gluey and disappointing, but the flatbread was light and fluffy. The kitchen was able to accommodate my requests for light cheese on the flatbread and no walnuts on the salad with no problems. Everything tasted really fresh. The portion sizes were generous without being overwhelming. The menu is very resonably priced, especially considering that the food is obviously made with really good quality ingredients. The big standout for me was the calibre of service. Our waitress was attentive without being intrusive. She was very friendly and knowledgeable, and seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the restaurant and the menu offerings. Our drinks were kept full, and our bill arrived promptly when requested. I have encountered a lot of pretty mediocre service in Toronto restaurants lately, and Union Social was a refreshing change. I recommend making reservations. We went at 5:30 on a Wednesday night and it was quite busy. read more

We've been to Union Social Eatery a few times over the past while and it's pretty good. The positives are a good atmosphere, friendly staff and pretty good food. We've enjoyed a variety of items including the burger, Killer Chicken sandwich, Philly Wrap, salads and edamame. The not-so-positives include a piece of wood in an entree salad once (it was comp'ed after we reported the wood) and just this weekend, an awkward seating situation. We're not overly picky people but it's pretty important to be comfortably and safely seated for dinner. We made a reservation for an early dinner and upon arrival, they tried to squish us into a really tight booth (i.e. 6 people, 3 who could be described as large, into a 4 person booth) and then they tried to put us on teetering backless high bar stools. All this when it was late afternoon/early evening and the place was not even half full. I refused both seating attempts (and nicely explained why each time) and we were finally placed at a regular table with normal/comfortable chairs by a managerial-type guy who just happened to notice that we needed assistance. I hate being "that person" and I really don't mean to appear difficult or picky but really, had they seated us at an appropriate table in the first place... Upon leaving just after 7 pm, I noticed the far west wall of the restaurant (which has normal tables) was still EMPTY. Yeah... a little annoying that we were having to negotiate for a regular table when we arrived almost 2 hours earlier. Why write so much about such a little thing? It's first impressions and basic hospitality...the feeling of being welcomed and settled at a nice table instead of feeling like we're being picky and having to negotiate. It's important to start on the right foot. Thanks to the managerial-type guy for saving us! And our waitress was SUPER nice that evening too. read more

I've been here twice in the past two weeks, and had good experiences both times, although the first (5 stars) was slightly better than the second (4 stars), thus averaging out to a 4.5. The first time I came with one other co-worker, and we were seated near the front of the restaurant. The service was really awesome, and after our waitress discovered it was our first time there, the restaurant manager popped by to offer us some complimentary appetizer (I think it was the house braised short rib firecrackers - really good) and chat with us a bit. I was super pleased and impressed! My co-worker and I both ordered the same thing, the candy house salad with chicken, and we both agreed afterwards that it was so good... I would definitely order it again. It had sugared walnuts, mango, black fig, feta cheese, roasted red pepper, and maple-pommery vinaigrette, and was slightly sweet, which made it delicious. The second time, I came here with a group of 7 people. We didn't make a reservation beforehand, but luckily didn't have to wait at all and were seated at a large table near the back of the restaurant. This time, I ordered the epic cheeseburger (with three different types of cheeses melted on the patty), and got a side of parmesan truffle fries (per Yelp recommendations) for an extra $3. To be honest, I ended up being a little bit let down by the fries - they were good, and the truffle flavour was pretty strong, and I still ended up enjoying them, but I was expecting the cheesy flavour to be stronger, so I was a bit disappointed. I will say that the burger also really good, really cheesy, really thick, and really juicy... but really greasy. Didn't stop me from enjoying it thoroughly though. Service was a bit lacking this time. Perhaps because of where we were seated, I guess it was hard for the staff to see us, so we felt a little bit ignored. The food is definitely pretty good, I think everyone in my party enjoyed what they ordered. And the prices are pretty decent as well, because I think everything on their menu is under $20, and they have different drink specials every day. It's a big, spacious restaurant with pretty cool decor (mason jar lights, wood, etc.) and quite honestly seems like a cool place to chill and grab a few drinks at after work. Would definitely recommend checking this place out, super fun and awesome vibe, and I'm hoping to return soon! read more

I am totally biased as I love this chain - the first one I went to was this one at Yonge and St. Clair and I always had a good time. Service is great and the seating is conducive for group gatherings. The food is really yummy especially all their various taquito dishes and let's not forget their Candy House Salad. Since I work in the area, this is our work place's local jaunt so if you want to go there for lunch (and you have a big group), make reservations as it gets very busy. Can't go wrong:) read more

Just dined here for the first time today and gave their summerlicious menu a chance, and man am I glad i did! For my starter i chose the short ribs firecrackers (pretty much egg rolls) - came with 2, which was the perfect size Main - Steak sandwich. Definitely the most juicy and tender steak i've ever had the chance to eat Dessert - mint chocolate ice cream sandwich. It was amazing!!! But halfway through I couldn't finish it. It eventually got overwhelming sweet, but if you're into that then go for it! I loved it here, our server was attentive and food was spectacular. Mark my words I WILL BE BACK!!! read more

Mmmmmm... can't stop thinking about my date's steak sandwich... The Tenderjack Steak Sandwich was a great cut of meat, nice and tender. Topped with a jalapeño Jack cheese, chimichurri and arugula... It was so good. Tasty and satisfying. I had the Banana Coconut Crusted Chicken. It was also pretty good. It's pretty much what you'd expect. We also had the short rib tacos. But next time i'm definitely going to try the swordfish tacos... They had quite a diverse menu with many unique items. I look forward to coming back and trying the rest. We had a few drinks and the night was topped off with a delicious Mars Bar Brownie. Warm chocolate brownie topped with ice cream... :) The prices here are pretty good... especially for the quality. The service was very friendly and offered good suggestions. I was also surprised that the kitchen remains open quite late and still maintains its good quality. Looking forward to returning with a good crowd for drinks and apps... :) read more

A friend took me here recently after having lunch here and loving it, and I can see why! The place is beautiful (although a bit loud), the staff were really friendly, and both the drinks & food were excellent. I ordered the chicken tenders & was really pleasantly surprised by the size of the portion. If you love chicken tenders as much as I do, and are used to getting 3 or 4 at most restaurants, then this place will surprise you. The dish comes with about 6 or 7 chicken tenders & a pile of fries (which are delicious by the way). The two sauces are also very good. Would definitely recommend. We split dessert, which consisted of 3 warm cookies and a scoop of ice cream, and it was incredible. I'd come back here just for this dessert. I'll be thinking about those warm cookies for weeks to come (until I go back and get more). The price is very reasonable for what you get. I can't wait to come back. read more

Very nice atmosphere with a wooden theme. It has a feel of a modernize 80's eatery. The music was not too loud. I started with the roasted pepper soup which was a nice appetizer size. It could have been just a bit warmer, but it was tasty and did not feel very heavy. The spinach salad was topped with beats, goat cheese and sweetened walnut crumbles. The sweet walnut complimented the salty goat cheese really well. The burger was juicy with a few touch of meyo and mustard on the bun. Very tasty for the price! ( $11 ). read more

Union Social Eatery - The U.F.O burger - American Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here on a saturday evening for drinks and dinner and sat up at the patio. We got a bunch of beers (all decently priced), and 2 apps. The korean tacos were really good! and in my opinion, really well priced too! Service was a bit slow and scattered and the patio got really chilly! I'd definitely come back here for the good food, and decently priced beer!! read more

Yikes, food is overly greasy, very oily, not tasty, and super expensive. Very loud and cramp inside. The best thing of my meal was the grapefruit juice, but so small, I asked no ice to get better value of my drink. read more

Decided to finally try this place today at lunch. Firstly, when we mentioned it was our first time the general manager Esther came out to say hello and offered us a free appetizer, the House Braised Short Rib Firecrackers - which were delicious! We ordered fairly straightforward mains, I had a burger my SO had chicken fingers and both exceeded our expectations. Plus they have daily drink specials and it just so happened our favourite beer was the special of the day, so that was a nice bonus. We will definitely be going back, great atmosphere, great service and really good food. read more

They have really great burgers! Very friendly staff, and their takeout is packaged nicely which is a bonus during COVID times. Would recommend. read more

Went to Union Social for Summerlicious dinner menu - had the candy house salad, salmon and the creme brule. Out of the three the salad was the best, so I would think their food is just OK. I like their patio, but I'm not sure if the patio and the environment is justification to come back for their food again. The salmon was a bit bland, and came with a few pieces of zucchini and 2 tomatoes and lots and lots of jasmine rice. I definitely had better salmon elsewhere. My friends had the steak and said that it was a bit hard and bland as well. Overall, I'm not sure if I'll read more

Burger was decent enough. The fresh baked cookies were horrible though! Tasted like they put Chips ahoy cookies in the microwave. Not a good way to end a meal. Also the waitress had a "Couldn't care less" attitude. Would've been better off going to the Pizzaiolo next door. read more

Food and staff and staff are wonderful ! Homemade burgers are the best! The wine and beer selection is pretty on par too !

I went here about 6 months ago for a friends birthday and a reunion with a friend who had moved overseas. It was a fantastic night, but I was too distracted with the evening's events to notice how great this place is, although I left knowing that I wanted to go back. So this past Friday I went with a couple friends to catch up over some beers and the Leaf's game. What a great evening! I made reservations the evening before because we wanted a good view of the TV's, the hostess taking my reservation was patient and did not end the call until she was certain I was happy with the location of the table she was holding for us. That was nice, considering most places rush you off the phone so quickly there is usually little time for questions or for preferences to be discussed. We arrived around 7 and the place was full of the 'after-work' crowd. I expected it to stay busy, but it died down around 8-8:30. I am shocked that more people do not go, it would be a great vibe there if it was packed with the right crowd! Food was delicious - I had the GF wings and I will order them again. For a somewhat slow night, our food took a looooong time to come out. We didn't complain but they were very apologetic and comp'd our food anyway - I am very impressed with the customer service. I look forward to returning for another night of beer, wings and good company. read more

I was here yesterday for the Men's Hockey semi between Canada and USA. This place was PACKED! We were able to get a table since our CEO was smart by making reservation ahead of time. We arrived with 7 people but one of our chair was stolen by a neighbor table before our arrival. So one of us had to stand. Good thing it was at a high table so he didn't stand out like a sore thumb among the rest of us who are seated. Besides, the place was so packed, there were tons of people who opted to stand around. Perhaps I came on a good day and time, the atmosphere at this place was phenomenal. I'm not sure my review of this venue will be the same if I came on a different day for a different occasion. Although everyone else at our table was happy with their food, I wasn't too impressed. I think my fish taco was only okay. Actually, scratch that. I think this is possibly the WORST fish taco I've ever tried. The fish chunks were so DRY and didn't taste fresh. They overdid it with wasabi, so I had to tears running down my cheek. I think people thought I was emotional for our winning the USA so nobody judged or said anything. Despite the not-so-satisfying food, I still gave this place a 4 star. 1 star goes for the price - I didn't think I can find restaurant food for less than $15 a meal at this neighborhood. 1 star goes to the pretty and sweet waitresses with award winning smiles 1 star goes to the decor, especially by a contract comparison to its neighbor competition - Scaliwag. 1 star goes to my awesome experience I will come back again and see if anything changes. Perhaps a star will be lost if I came on a different day. Perhaps I will give an additional star if I find something on the menu that impresses me. read more

Yuuummmmy and great service! We ordered the short rib firecrackers and the Chicken Club flatbread. Both were very tasty and went down well with our $17 pitcher of beer. Will definitely order mains the next time I visit. read more

This is my third time visiting this establishment. Each time I've had to wait at least 10 minutes to see a member of the wait staff. Tonite was no different, it was 15 minutes to get my drink order while I noticed that staff are talking to each other. It seems that customer service doesn't appear to be a priority at this establishment. It's too bad because I do think the menu is innovative and interesting. read more

I came here with the boyfriend for lunch as we were tight on time. It was my first time here and his second time visiting. The restaurant was very busy considering it was a Friday afternoon. Union Social Eatery is very nicely decorated with wooden tables, they had a variety of high top seating, booth seats, and bar seats. We were seated immediately as we had reservations and once we sat down, we were greeted by our waitress, Trina. She introduced the specials for the day as well as the drinks special. Every day of the week, they have a drink special and today they had $15 Domestic Pitchers, too bad we both had work afterwards, otherwise we would've definitely split a pitcher between the two of us. We both decided to play it safe and stick to water (how boring). I decided to order the Grilled Swordfish Burger with their fresh, hand-cut Yukon fries. The Grilled Swordfish Burger consisted of hand-cut swordfish, topped with a mixture of charred leeks, grilled onions, roasted red peppers, and mayo. The boyfriend had tried this before when he first came here, and he told me I'd really like it or hate it with it's distinct taste. I definitely loved my burger because I finished it in literally less than five minutes (mind you I have never ate a burger that quick in my life). He asked me to give it a rating out of ten and I without a doubt would give it a ten. The fries were delicious as well, small bite size pieces that were crispy. The boyfriend decided to go with the Killer Chicken Sandwich with fries. I'm unsure of how to describe the sandwich as they made it differently as their daily feature. He was kind of confused when he first got his dish because it looked like beef more than chicken. So we asked Trina if the chicken is grinned into small pieces and made into a patty and she clarified for us that that is in fact how the sandwich is. None the less, he also demolished his sandwich in no time so I'm guessing he enjoyed it. If I wasn't in a rush to get to work, I would've enjoyed my food a little bit more, but regardless I would highly recommend coming here and trying out the food. It's delicious! Maybe next time when we come, we'll try dinner so we can get our drink on.. read more

See all

Great restaurant with awesome service. The owner gave us a complimentary dessert which was amazing. Definitley recommend!

This is definitely an improvement over Harry's Social Kitchen. I liked the Korean Short Rib Soft Tacos, Thai Red Curry and the House Smoked Mosquite Wings. They have a fair selection of beers on tap and the wine is reasonable. They also have big screen TV sports. Good addition to the neighborhood. read more

I am regularly at this location for work meetings due to the fact that the environment is quiet enough to discuss business, staff is friendly and most of all food is great. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because I got a Ceasers here and the rim was covered in a very pungent tasting cajun spice. Ceasers deserve celery salt...don't fix it if it isn't broke! read more
