What a great place! Fun atmosphere and tons of seating outside and back from the street as well. Service was prompt and Emily was fantastic! I love the Vegan-specific part of their menu. Takes the guesswork out and eliminates the need for substitutionsto get a healthy and tasty Vegan dish. I went for late lunch and had the Union Power Bowl and shared the Mushroom flatbread (notVegan). Yummy! Fun place for adults and families and lots of pet-friendly patio space.

After a long day of hiking mixed with cycling up and down the beach and highway, we stopped in for a bite to eat and were NOT disappointed. This is such a fun bar/restaurant. The music was great, atmosphere lively, and everyone was friendly. The foodcame out quickly and was delicious, and everything was clean!

Loved the shrimp and grits...loaded.with sausage and maybe 8 shrimp. Appeared ro be like a hominy and not southern style grits.mac and cheese was gooey , bit not your traditional oven baked or elbow noodles, and those fries, pimento cheese andmeat...I think brisket was on point. Cornbread with honey!!! Apparently, dogs are allowed to eat in this fine establishmentwithout the service dog designation. You can watch TV in this sport bar atmosphere or cozy up in the rear at your personal tabletop fire pit or eat out on the patio facing the street. Bring your own sugar for tea!

Love it here. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Plenty of TV's if you want to watch any sports and the food. . . SO GOOD. Shrimp and grits flavorful. Football special: dirty wings and meatball sliders good mild sauce on wings, sliders had pestoand ricotta on them, so delicious. I only had time to take a couple pictures of the cornbread but WOW! Comes out steaming HOT!Sweet from the honey and maple and just a touch if spice from the jalapeños. Honestly, the best cornbread I have ever had. Justlook at that pool of butter! My fork was ready to dive in it!!

We had a great experience at Union kitchen and tap. The food was a really really good! We got the Creole shrimp appetizer and although it was small, it was delicious. We split the house salad, which was really good. Had this amazing deep fried egg on it. And we absolutely love the skillet cornbread. Will definitely come back!
