    I looked up this spot on Google cause I wanted something close to home and quick. Drove up and plenty of parking. We were greeted so happily when we walked in. Felt really homely. They only had a few customers at tables but it was late for breakfast. We put in our order and sadly it took 40 minutes to come out. The omlet was good! They forgot my pancakes but when they brought them out they were good and hot. The potatoes, coffee, toast...all were luke warm and borderline cold. The chicken fried chicken and grits lacked seasoning. I wanted so bad for it to be great...but it was lacking key elements such as hot food.

    Umm, no thanks. I really didn't like this place but you are more than welcome to try it. I don't think the eggs are real. They are more than likely powdered eggs. Yuck! Me and Twin A are pretty particular about our eggs. These were subpar. You could fix a better breakfast at home. My husband mentioned that their omelet was good and maybe that was fixed with real eggs. Who knows. Either way, I am not going back. Our server was nice though. :)

    Welcome to a quaint little gem hidden off Fry Road! I've seen this place on Yelp plenty of times but wasn't sure about the food. Honey let me tell you!!!! The pictures ABSOLUTELY do no justice! I ordered the Philly Omelet. Baby you owe it to yourself to try it! You can be a big back and get the half order of waffles with it, but you'll be too full to enjoy anything other than a NAP! The girls were also extremely friendly when I picked up my order. Service with a smile! The only thing that hide my heart was that they didn't sell those onion rings in the side!!!! I'll be back for a dine in experience soon! Save me some onion rings!

    Pancakes

    Such a cute little restaurant and our waitress was so sweet. 10/10 service. I ordered the Country Fried Steak & Eggs.. I was a little nervous because it can be easy to mess up but it was cooked nicely. Not tough at all. Simple and satisfying. My husband ordered pancakes which he devoured so I'll assume they were good too. Definitely recommend stopping by and giving them a try.

    Stuffed French Toast

    This was my second time here. First time, it was pretty busy on a Friday with lots of big parties from the surrounding schools. It was most likely the teachers. I decided to regroup and come back the next week. It's a small place but packs quite a punch. People are very nice here. I went with the stuffed French toast and added a side of bacon. They don't skimp on the bacon like some places. You get four slices. The coffee was nice and strong which is what you want with a nice breakfast. The French toast was delicious. It didn't need syrup obviously as it was sweet enough. The server did recommend some other menu items to try when I visit next time....which I definitely will.

    Was looking for a sit in breakfast and I am so happy we found this place! The food was so good! I got eggs Benedict, my husband got the omelette and we shared waffles with berries. The service was great and friendly and the place looked great. I liked the cafe decor. My only concern is the smell of grease. My clothes smelled so bad after. Not sure if their vents aren't working properly but it was heavy. Other than that food was great and the lady serving was very helpful and friendly.

She tried the PB and J Veggie Burger and it was phenomenal! i had the blackened shrimp tacos and they were wonderful as well. pleasantly surprised with the créma inside the tacos too. personal tip would be to get the cajun fries (filled up on these bc we couldn't help it!) and use the sauce for the shrimp tacos -- this would change the game fully! wonderful service and ambiance - pleasantly surprised with every part of this experience. great beer selection too!

    Great rating justified…read more Service and atmosphere: The is very nice and modern looking restaurant with many seating areas to choose from. Everything was clean and super well organised. The staff were professional and polite. Our server was friendly, helpful and attentive. Food and drinks: Impressive menu selection in both areas. The menu offers variety of starter, burgers, poultry and fish mains, as well as good dessert options. Starters - tikka masala meatball and refreshing cucumber. Mains - wild caught sea bass and half pound burger. Dessert - seasonal cheesecake with yuzu lime curd, black sesame crust, matcha tea dust, and vanilla whipped cream. All foods were very well prepared and plated. All dishes were well seasoned and were full of flavours. Spot on! Drink wise, they offer wast selection of alcoholic beverages with some great house craft beers. Pricing: $$/$ - well worth it and you get what you paid for! The quality speaks for itself!

My party of three ordered the breakfast egg rolls to share as a appetizer. There were plenty to share and very tasty. Eggs, cheese and crumbled sausage fried in an egg roll wrapper served with hot honey drizzle and roumalaud sauce for dipping. Between the lobster w/ crab & veggie omelettes, the shrimp and grits bowl was a hearty treat. We had coffee, lattes, mimosas and sparkling water over a giggly fun time. Our server and the managers were attentive and full of smiles. We especially liked watching the little to robot moving about the dining area delivering food. The future is now!

    This is my second time trying Union Kitchen at a different location and i've been left underwhelmed…read moreboth times. I ordered a kids grilled chicken tenders with a side of mashed potatoes along with a kids mac and cheese. Not only were the chicken tenders bland but the chicken was sooo tough. I also had tough fried and bland chicken tenders at the Humble location. It seems as if they're cooked from frozen but I don't know. As for the mac and cheese I like that it was a homemade sauce rather than kraft but it tasted nothing like mac and cheese sauce. Instead it tasted more like a garlic alfredo sauce without the parmesan. The only okay thing was the mashed potatoes. I liked the garlic flavor in them but I could've went without the parmesan cheese in them. Overall, I haven't been pleased with anything i've ordered from here so not sure if i'd recommend.
