Great spot for a quick lunch…read more Found myself in this area and saw the sign, I was hungry so pulled right in, and found it to be a pretty nice operation with a solid menu of recognizable buger/fries/ice cream type stuff, a clean and tidy space, and good prices. The food itself was simple and well prepared. The fries were crispy and hot and the burger was quite tasty and just the right size. It's advertised as a smash burger, but not as smashed as some that you might find...but that's ok. I'd order it again for sure. Overall this seems like a predictable spot with a familiar menu and they did a great job of keeping the line moving during a busy lunch rush. Friendly people, clean space, good food and great value. Would definitely visit again.

We made reservations for a Saturday night at 5:00, since we were going to see the light festival at…read morethe park. We did not know there was a pub crawl for St Patty's day happening on the day of our reservation. We were the first to be seated in the restaurant since it opened at 5:00. Once we sat down we found out there was a limited dinner menu. The waitress took our drink order right away, but it took 20 minutes for the drinks to be delivered. While waiting for the drinks the waitress took our food order, took our food a good 40 minutes to be served after we ordered. The waitress told us our food was delayed because one item was burned in the oven and had to be remade. When we finally got our order one of the entrees was cold and the other was luke warm. We had ordered both entrees medium, but they were also over cooked. I understand they were busy with the pub crawl, but that should not have impacted their service as much as we experienced. What really disappointed me that the restaurant did not make us aware of the limited dinner menu and that they also were hosting a pub crawl when we made reservations. We could have made a decision to cancel the reservation before we traveled to the restaurant I hope the owners of this restaurant will plan better in the future and make their patrons aware of special circumstances affecting the menu. All I know is that I will not be returning.

Neither of us had eaten here before, but both had been wanting to try this place out. First and foremost, don't come out in your Sunday's finest, this place is the true definition of Dive Bar. Come as casual as you want and you'll feel comfortable. Only one other person in the place we were able to grab any seat we wanted. The bartender was quick to our table to get drink orders and give us menus. I went for one of the four Grenades they offered - no not a drink it's one of their signature dishes. Think Nachos but with French fries instead of chips. They had a steak offering as well as ground beef, chicken and pork. I went for the Fresh Prince which came piled with steak, grilled onions and bell peppers and queso (added some pico on the side). Really good dish. Flavor of the steak was that of a classic philly cheese steak. Generous portion for the price. Hard to go wrong here, really the hardest decision is which of the four to order. My fiance had the Porky - which simply put was a loaded burger, but it was oh so much more. Topped with slaw and smoked pork, smothered in bourbon BBQ add some cheddar, lettuce, tomato and fried onion straws and you're in burger heaven. Again, the portion was more then generous and full of flavor. Prices are right on point. Service was good and even though they got busier the longer we stayed, we continued to get checked on through the meal. While you wait for your food, the pool was free (not sure if it's that way all the time - but Saturday afternoon it is). We wouldn't hesitate to come back and try this place out and some of the other menu items. Really great food. Great Staff. Great Prices.

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!

STOP what you're doing and get yourself to Big Chief Drive-In…read more I just had a full-sized DOUBLE Super Burger with a large side of crispy onion rings, and I'm telling you -- this might be the best $14.50 I've ever spent. We're talking two thick, juicy patties stacked high with melty cheese, fresh toppings, and that unmistakable flavor that only comes from a griddle seasoned by time and love. This isn't your average burger -- it's a straight-up throwback to the golden age of drive-ins, when food was made with pride and portions were real. And the onion rings? Unreal. Perfectly crispy with that satisfying crunch and actual onion you can taste -- not just fried filler. The whole meal gave me major diner nostalgia, but without the tourist trap prices. For under $15, I had a meal that rivals anything coming out of the big-city burger scene. Big Chief is a hidden Alabama treasure. Come for the burger, stay for the vibes -- and don't forget the rings. #BigChiefDriveIn #DoubleBurgerDreams #HiddenGemEats #GlencoeEats #FoodieFavorites #BurgerPerfection #DriveInDelight #OnionRingRoyalty #SupportLocalEats

Man I really hate throwing out sub 5 star reviews, but this was our second time eating here and…read moreboth times have been meh. First time was a year ago when they hadn't been open long. Tables were sticky and it took an hour and a half to get food; food wasn't great. We just weren't impressed and haven't been back since. Tonight we had friends that wanted to go so we thought we'd give it another shot. I got the smash burger and it was ok. Sweet potato fries were overcooked. Our waitress was absolutely amazing. She was kind and was very prompt with everything. Had a little issue with my drink though. I ordered a Moscow Mule (What they call a stubborn mule here). When I got it, it was in a lowball, (I don't care about the copper mug) I noticed it had a different color from any mules I've had. I tried it and it wasn't a typical mule. I kept telling my wife it tasted like apples. I never send stuff back but I did tell the waitress I'd take a beer. She asked if my drink was ok and I said it's not a mule. No biggie, just didn't taste good. No problem. She took the drink and returned with the beer. Later on she came up to the table and said her boss wouldn't let her take the mule off because all drink sales are final. I didn't ask for a free drink, this was prompted by her trying to make it right. Whatever... 9 bucks. Not worth the fuss. Later on one of my friends was reading the dessert drink menu and saw a Caramel Apple Mule advertised. Nancy Drew solved the mystery; I most definitely got served the Apple Mule. Still... 9 bucks gone. Not the end of the world, but this is the first place I've been to that wouldn't remake a drink. Sure it was a mistake, but I'm kinda surprised by the bosses decision. Maybe the third time will be a charm! ;)
