After having our GPS take us a ways around we got to Union Publik House and there were regulars in there already. There's a few tables and we were greeted warmly and since we were a group of five, took the larger table in the back by the kitchen. Our server was also friendly and helpful. He recommended the burgers but said just about everything we would order would be good and he was right. My wings were big and tasty, the burger we ordered was cooked as requested, the Ceasar salad was good but the chicken add-on was a bit overdone and dry, the other salad with add-on salmon was a nice big piece of fish that was quickly eaten, and the BBQ sandwich my kid had was gone in what seemed like seconds. We started with some mozzarella sticks which were fine, the pirogies were better than fine, and the homemade chips with salsa were also quickly eaten. Drinks were canned sodas at $3 each and I also had an unsweetened ice tea for the same price. I think you'll also like UPH for your lunch or dinner. We'd come back. $125 total including tax and tip for five people.

We visited the Bake Oven Inn to try the 2026 Vegan Challenge dishes. I am not vegan but I tried it…read morelast year and liked it so we visited again when the 2026 challenge rolled around. Our waitress was very good with suggestions, explaining the dishes, and providing all around good service. Being the first day open after Labor Day, the restaurant was not crowded and was not overly noisy which we greatly appreciated. Dinner starts with amuse bouche which was salmon rillettes. This was a favorite of mine and the chef's version were really good. Next was bread served with butter and an oil and garlic mixture. The bread was delicious. I'd like to note here that vegan options are available for amuse bouche and bread but I did not order them because I am not vegan. However, this did not matter as the chef sent them out for us to try. I found them on par with the non-vegan versions. I had the roasted tri-colored carrots appetizer and my wife went with the sautéed trumpet mushrooms. We both thought they were good. I tasted the mushrooms and while I did find them good, I preferred the carrots. For our mains, my wife went with the duck breast and I chose the Red Cat Farm ancient grains and lentil stuffed pepper. Obviously the duck breast was not off the vegan menu; my wife found the inclusion of duck on the regular menu too much to resist. The stuffed pepper was beyond delicious! I had never eaten anything like what the chef created and the various flavors meshed perfectly. My wife liked the duck and I tried a bite and I definitely preferred the pepper. On a side note, the duck seemed to be done more than the suggested medium rare. The pepper should probably move to the regular menu for the late summer months - it's that good! We did not try the vegan desserts. Instead, my wife went with ice cream and I went with the warm funnel cake sundae because it had strawberry ice cream in it. The meal was quite good. I give it a 4.5 out of 5 (rounded up to 5 for this review).

We hadn't been back since the refurbishment of the outside and the expanded kitchen. We learned tonight we should have jumped back on ship sooner! Atmosphere is great, food was great (chicken bacon ranch wrap w/ tots, German pizza flatbread), beer was cold, waitresses were perky, music was good, and the local football game was on the TV... and it was packed! Time to become regulars again! Loss of a star is only because of a slightly slow kitchen. Not a huge deal given the social nature of the place. Note... I think the cluster of one star reviews from out of state posters on here are bogus. This is a LOCAL place, you don't just stumble upon this place while traveling.
