    French Onion Soup ... 4-stars
    Barry W.

    *** Very airy environment; love this space. *** It looks like a creative garage conversion. Nice. And their entree portions are quite generous. That said, they were disappointingly "bland". *** Must try again. Perhaps an off day? ***

    Bunkhouse Baseline Deluxe
    Stephanie R.

    I have been hearing about this place a lot recently so I met a friend for dinner on a Monday. When you walk in, you are greeted by a bright and vibrantly decorated dining room with the bar, pizza oven station, and kitchen all visible to the patrons. The tables and chairs look a bit like they were revived from the mid-80's but I believe that is by design and not truly "old" furniture. Still comfy... We were seated right away by a pleasant hostess, given menus, and then greeted by our server, Tommy, who was very cheerful despite still busy taking care of his crowded section. We each ordered the Bunkhouse Baseline Deluxe (basically, a double patty smash burger served with fries). When mine arrived, I cut into it so I could eat half at a time and found it to be very undercooked so I called Tommy over and he had it remade. He did not make me feel like I was being picky or that I was putting them out. He apologized and quickly rushed it over to the kitchen. I appreciated how kind he was about it. The kitchen must have moved my order to the top of the pile because he had a new plate to me in record time. He also waited for me to cut into it to be sure it was cooked all the way through. It was and I happily scarfed down half the meal right away. The burger is excellent - I highly recommend if you like smash burgers. The fries were homemade and they make their own version of ranch dressing (a buttermilk, dill dressing that was very tasty with the fries). There were other dishes on the menu I'd like to try so I'll likely return.

    Cool looking bathroom mirrors

    Came for brunch with several friends. The space is attractive, plenty of space and light, creative decor. Our server was friendly throughout, however seemed to lack confidence and maybe experience. Everything took quite a long time including just getting our coffee. We were told new coffee was brewing but we received it lukewarm. Later when we were offered refills, the server mused in front of us if our cups should be refilled one at a time or maybe go get something to fill up with coffee and bring it to the table. We never did get the sugar. The food took a while to come out even though it wasn't that busy. It did arrive at the same time for everyone and was attractively presented. Unfortunately everyone agreed that the food looked better than it tasted. The fritatta lacked flavor, though the roasted mushrooms and pesto sauce were a nice touch. My friend who had the pulled pork scramble said there was something off about the overall flavor. Another friend that had the avocado and egg toast, said the croissant didn't taste fresh. Sadly no one at the table finished their meals. I will say that prior to this visit I heard good things about this restaurant and friends had a good experience with dinner. Perhaps we came on an off day. I would come back and give it another chance. It really is a nice space and location.

    Rotisserie chicken with brussel sprouts and rosemary potatoes
    Amy W.

    We really enjoyed our time at Lincoln Yard. It's an interesting location with a wood burning pizza oven and a decent vegan menu. There is also a coffee / breakfast spot called Little y Yard that is located within. We split the rotisserie chicken which was absolutely perfect. The craft cocktails were a delicious pairing.

    Cool looking interior. Used to be an old bus garage for BHam schools here. Zach is waiting on us. He didn't need to write anything down. Good memory. Ordered super salad jr, half Caesar, no croutons, rotisserie chicken with Peruvian chili, curried couscous, Napa slaw, olive oil and orange cornbread, white bean soup, lobster Union Mac, side of Brussels. $113.27 They do charge you for using CC, of course they do. How annoying. The white bean soup sample is good, bit lemony, comes with potatoes. Food all comes out in a timely manner. The super salad Jr is okay, the tomatoes are wilted or roasted some, not my favorite. The Caesar salad is good. Comes with garlic panko instead of croutons. The lobster union Mac wasn't bad, the penne pasta doesn't work for the Mac, the spiral would have been a better noodle. The rotisserie chicken is good, not dry. The Peruvian chili tastes fresh, not much heat to it though. The curried couscous was so-so, not my thing. The Napa cabbage salad was good. The olive oil orange cornbread with the spicy honey butter was good, you need the butter since the cornbread is quite grainy and dry. Table clean-up is a bit slower.

    Really wanted to like this place... I came with friends for brunch and liked the atmosphere, menu looked great on paper and so did the plating presentation! I was already thinking in my head how I want to come back with my family... until I tried my food. It is truly unfortunate. My food was blend. As nicely as it looked - it didn't have any flavor. Neither did the food my friends had. (Oh, and the service was painfully slow).

    Very cute place, the candle in the entrance was a nice touch. From there the smells only got better. Our server was very nice, seemed slow, although it was very busy. While we waited for our burgers the smells from the kitchen were incredible. The food was delicious, with a lively atmosphere. Very good place for groups.

    Feb '26 Brunch Menu

    For the second Saturday in a row, I was watching Fox 2 News Detroit and they did a great job of showcasing a local business, Lincoln Yard. It is located in a neighborhood in Birmingham that I previously lived in for over 5 years quite some time ago and they converted the former bus garage to a unique space. Union Joints is a familiar local business group to me due to a couple of their outstanding restaurants in nearby Clarkston. I was curious to try as I wasn't aware of this establishment previously as it is at a location a little off of the path across from the local ice arena. I saw several delicious items for breakfast, but I had already made my own breakfast that morning and was really yearning for the chicken pot pie that I had seen featured on the news. They mentioned to me that was an entree from the dinner menu and I was there in the late brunch timeframe. The Chef even was kind enough to chat with me that the chicken pot pie was so popular, they were challenged keeping up with demand which is a great sign in my opinion. Therefore, I examined the brunch menu and decided on the Company Chicken Sandwich. It was a grilled chicken sandwich with a delicious aioli, green goddess sauce, and was served with a side of fries. The sandwich and fries were a very nice second choice and I enjoyed the atmosphere seated at one of the two bars adjacent to the open dining area sipping a Michigan made Cheboygan Blood Orange Honey beer. As I was sitting there I struck up a conversation with a friendly lady, Olivia, that was seated next to me who had previously worked with Union Joints and explained more of the back story which was interesting to hear. Amani provided attentive service at the circular bar, and I noticed she also seemed to be covering some adjacent tables as well as the restaurant was very popular this morning. Much to my surprise, Kylie, the General Manager, came by with a "to go" bag which included the desired pot pie I originally came for at "no charge" which blew me away as a customer although I generously compensated my gratuity to cover this genuine kindness you just can't make up. Then, a few minutes later, one of the owners, Curt Catallo, came by and we discussed my wonderful and very surprising experience as a first time customer at this location. I shared with him my experience and how helpful it was to have his business featured on the news as I wouldn't have known about it otherwise even though I was very familiar with the neighborhood. My theme this year is "Kindness meets kindness " and I am thrilled to write this review based on my unique experience on this day. I can't wait to try the pot pie later. I definitely will be a repeat customer as businesses that treat their staff and their customers with such kindness and respect truly deserve to thrive!

    Chorizo burrito with crispy redskin potatoes
    Kim D.

    Went there for brunch today with a large group. I didn't even know this place existed until today, but it is owned by the same people who own the Clarkston Union and Vinsetta Garage, so I will be back! I had the chorizo burrito with crispy redskins. The potatoes were so good that I couldn't stop eating them to eat the burrito. I also ordered the cinnamon-caramel monkey bread to share, which I didn't get a picture of because I tore into it as soon as it was set in front of me. It was also delicious! My only issue was that some of the food wasn't hot enough for my liking. I started with a chai latte that was a bit too lukewarm for my taste, and my burrito was downright cool. I didn't send it back because I didn't want my potatoes to get cold and also I was pretty full by that point anyway. Lily (our server) was great! We were a group of almost 20 and I found her to be very attentive and super sweet!

    The Otto Burger with added bacon, served with tasty fries.
    Ann W.

    I'm a fan of Union Joints, except for a previous experience at Fenton Fire Hall (now closed), I have enjoyed dining at the various joints. So when I learned of Lincoln Yard while in the neighborhood, I was eager to try. Since it was still warm, patio dining was available, in addition to the large dining area and bar. The seats by the pizza oven are probably the best in the house. I would love to watch the pizza brown and the cheese get bubbly. Though not vast, there is something for everyone on this menu. For lunch, in addition to salads, sandwiches, and pizza, a few rotisserie and smoked meats are available. Of course, a few mac and cheese dishes, a Union Joints staple, are also available. There are some vegan options, for example, rotisserie cauliflower and stuffed sweet potatoes that I would have happily had. I ordered the olive oil and orange cornbread. I loved the flavor combination and the sweet/spicy butter that accompanied it, but thought that it was overbaked (so dry!). For the main, I had the Otto Burger with bacon added. The burger was topped with raclette cheese, tomato aioli, and red onion jam. Unfortunately, ¼ of the patty was inexplicably cooked to a "well done" temperature whereas the rest was more medium rare, my preferred temperature. I also did not like one of the toppings - not sure which one added the odd taste. The fries were superb: a tender interior with a nice crispy exterior. The Lobster Mac and Cheese was stellar, of course. That was to be expected. There were nice chunks of lobster mixed into the tender, cheesy noodles. The server was friendly and helpful.

    Pulled pork hash and pancakes.
    Nicole L.

    Kurt and team don't disappoint in this newer location. Food was delicious with a unique twist in flavors which work. Pulled pork hash is a must. Coffee is flavorful and authentic quality. Server was engaging, attentive, and thoughtful. Atmosphere is inviting relaxing vintage vibe. Highly recommend checking it out.

    Order the pot pie!
    Amanda H.

    While visiting family in the Detroit area, we ate at this delicious restaurant. What really stood out, other than the pot pie I ordered, was the friendly service. It really added to the experience my family and I had. The staff genuinely seemed to be happy and provided a pleasant experience. Everyone was more than satisfied with what the ordered. It was a great space for kids to enjoy and a variety of menu options. We will for sure be back during our next trip!

    Salted caramel bumpy cake
    Stephanie A.

    I've been here 3x in as many weeks. Best items: salted caramel bumpy cake; hummus and pita; corn bread, La Rotisserie pizza and the Spiced Iced Tea Buck. Things to pass on: Brussels sprouts and an unpopular opinion - the mac n cheese. Just as an FYI: If you sit in the "lounge" space, you can only order starters, pizza and drinks. Service: the 1st visit, our waitress seemed to disappear and we would have to wave her over. The 2nd and 3rd visits, the service was great.

It's always a busy time for establishments, especially when it comes to holidays, but we repeatedly kept getting seated and "unseated" (the hostess would seat us, but then take us back to common area as the tables were either dirty or not ready). I didn't personally care about this, but I definitely noticed my party getting a bit frustrated by the experience as it happened about 4 times before we officially got seated, which also exceeded our initial reservation time. The service itself was okay. I wish they would've come around a bit more as we were out of water while eating our meal, but I know it was super busy that day!! I ended up getting the soft shell crab sandwich and it was pretty good! I think it would be even tastier with more sauce on the bun, but overall a nice pick. I also tried the lobster bisque; it had a nice texture with the little lobster bits, but found it overly salty. Hush puppies were a nice, crispy texture and I loved the sweet butter with it! One thing I absolutely loved about this experience was the mother's day flower pop-up stand! The cutest way to walk in and support another local business.
