Late lunch yesterday. I ordered the ribeye sandwich with fries. Honestly one of the best ribeye…read moresandwiches I have ever eaten. Fries were good but nothing to complain or brag about. Service was good and staff was friendly. The restaurant is set ina refurbished older building but is really nice but simple. Only issue is the daily special board is hard to read from table because the writing is small. Had to get up and stand in front of board to read it. Overall excellent experience and I will go again and recommend to others.

My friend and I had a fantastic lunch at Union Jack Cafe and I can't say enough good things about…read moreour visit! The British-themed atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and genuinely makes you want to linger longer. We arrived on a Saturday just after 11 AM and the place was already bustling...a great sign of how much the community enjoys this spot. **Food:** - I had the Traditional Burger, no bun, and they easily accommodated my request for a lettuce wrap. The burger was beautifully cooked--crispy on the edges and juicy inside, with the extra pickles I asked for. - The House Potato Salad is hands-down my favorite side here: perfectly seasoned and generously portioned. - My friend got the Fish & Chips and raved about the crispy, perfectly-cooked fish and the addictively good house-made tartar sauce with lots of dill (pickle lovers take note!). - She enjoyed her fries and iced tea, while I loved my hot tea. They serve Twinings teas, which are my favorite. My only wish was for a classic teacup and saucer (rather than a Styrofoam cup) to complete the authentic British feel. **Service and Experience:** - Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, from accommodating special orders to promptly bringing refills on drinks and providing extra sauces with a smile. - We placed our order at the counter and our food arrived at our table piping hot and fresh, never left sitting in a window. - Although the restaurant was busy, we never felt rushed and were encouraged to sit and chat as long as we liked, which felt very authentically British. **Menu Variety:** - Union Jack has something for everyone: a wide range of burgers (like Black & Blue with blue cheese, Mushroom Swiss, Breakfast, and more), as well as sandwiches such as club and chicken, lots of fresh salads, breakfast items, baked muffins and scones, plus daily specials. - They offer both indoor and shaded outdoor seating--a lovely bonus on pleasant days. **Atmosphere:** - The location in Rainbow Plaza offers plenty of parking and the eatery is spotlessly clean inside. The warm, small-town vibe and British decor make this a cozy place to catch up with a friend or enjoy a leisurely meal. **Insider Tips:** - Try the potato salad and the fish & chips--they're local favorites for good reason. - Don't be shy about customizing your order; the staff handles special requests graciously. - If you go on a nice day, consider the shady outdoor tables for a true cafe experience. Union Jack Cafe is a true neighborhood gem with consistently delicious food, generous hospitality, and a community-focused spirit that's worth supporting. Highly recommended for anyone in Rainbow City or passing through. I'll absolutely be returning often, and encouraging everyone I know to do the same!

Bumped by here about two weeks ago for a drink for the road after lunch on our way out of town…read moreheaded to the gulf. I picked this spot because it was local and they had a drive through for coffee. I didn't go inside but it's a cute little building. Limited parking and a sort of twisty drive through, but I really like the concept. I wish more higher quality places had a drive through. I ordered one of their seasonal specials, the Cadbury Egg. It's a double shot espresso with white mocha, regular mocha, and caramel. It gave me /bad/ sticker shock. I ordered the smaller size and it was almost $9. For the size of it, I thought the price was very, very high. Service was also quite bumpy. The girl who took my order didn't seem too happy to see me but she took my payment and went back to make my drink. We waited a while, and then a different, friendlier girl came to see if we'd been helped, which we said we had. Then we waited....a lot longer. The first girl finally came back after an extended time, made a very halfhearted apology for our wait (after we watched her horsing around with a male employee right behind the window) , and we were finally on our way. The drink was aggressively fine. I didn't taste any caramel and it mostly had a sort of nondescript mocha vibe. It was a touch on the bitter/burnt side too, though not unmanageable. I think I'm more upset about the price vs the size and quality rather than anything intrinsically wrong with the drink; if I could've had the same drink at around ~$5-6 I'd probably bump up to a 3 star rating. As is, though, it was a mid drink for a high price served very, very slowly with a touch of surliness. I wonder if service is quicker on the inside. They didn't seem too busy but it's hard to tell what was going on indoors; the drive through had no one ahead of us though. The food offerings look good. Perhaps I just caught them on a bad day.

No utensils were given either which is just common courtesy. I've been working at restaurants off and on for years and I have never seen a restaurant with this kind of ill characterized care for the food these guys need to be shut down they suck ass I'm getting tired of eating at a place that can't even serve their customers what the customer asks this is embarrassing.

The crinkle-cut fries could have used a bit more seasoning or salt to really shine, and the hush puppies were slightly undercooked in the center. Despite these minor issues, I would give the catfish nuggets another try and explore some of the other side options on the menu. While not a perfect dining experience, it is worth considering if you're in the area. Service was great and the servers were very nice and high spirited. The ambiance is a typical diner full of regulars!

Ordering was challenging as a result, and our server had to keep coming back to tell us, "Oh, we're out of that too." Took forever to get our food despite our server's best efforts (she was great -- going as fast as she could, and very apologetic -- this would be a 2-star review if not for her). My meal was OK, but it seemed like others barely touched their food in my party of 7. Disappointing.

The water is bright blue and absolutely beautiful, it's such a great place to learn how to paddle board (no waves, no current).

The dock is well maintained and so are the paddle boards, the owner/staff are incredibly nice and welcoming. Note that they're only open on Saturday's and Sunday's.
