Came here with a reservation for a large group and they were plenty ready for us. They took our orders promptly, our staff was very friendly and chatty and were quick to refill beverages. We shared the bang bang shrimp, lobster potstickers, and crab and tuna tower and all were very very good. The tower was fresh with tasty crispy wonton wrappers for chips. The bang bang shrimp had a great sweet and spicy combination and the pot stickers were so so good. This was my first time having a portobello mushroom sandwich and it had so much more flavor than I was expecting. It was smoky and with great texture and the bun was toasted and buttery. And can't beat a great sweet potato fry. A great spot! read more

Great breakfast food. Large enough portion size to split between me & my daughter. Great flavor, texture, temperature, & plenty of options

Eehhhh. Sufficient or maybe notch above that for the lobster potsticker offering. This small plate was yum. My entree, the Boost bowl, was ok...better tasting than it looked. In my opinion: too much rice, greens were overdressed and, please, stop with the iceberg bases. Leave iceberg for an intentional wedge salad. Ppl who like salads do not like iceberg, we merely put up with it. Bowl was mostly bitter stems. That jalapeño quinoa cake deal was surprisingly alright. Overall, I'd come back bc I see some reviews from Yelp friends I trust. Two word review: kickin 'sticker. read more

Stopped in for lunch while checking out homes in the area. The restaurant wasn't easy to locate as it's on the backside of the building and not facing the parking lot. Once inside, the staff was nice and pleasant and sat us quickly. Our waitress was very nice and brought us drinks quickly. We just ordered some small plates to share. The dips were all good but the tomato soup was more like marinara sauce. The waitress removed it from our bill. We would definitely go! read more

Great food. Service was okay. View is lovely of the lake. Live music Saturdays on the lawn makes it the perfect spot!

The service and staff here are wonderful, and all the food was amazing, with good portion sizes.

I like The Union Kitchen as I've been for brunch at the other locations in the city. They have an extensive menu, so everyone at your table are bound to find something that suits their tastes. I specifically like The Union Kitchen for brunch as they have many great options! I ordered the Breakfast Boost Bowl this time and while it wasn't bad, it could use more flavor as it was a bit bland. The fried chicken and waffles or chicken fried steak are delicious here though. This location is at Towne Lake Boardwalk, so the outdoor seating would be lovely on a nice day! read more

The food and service was absolutely amazing. The captain chicken is my fav here! Also, Dessalyn was a great server!

The beignets were so good, def recommend them! They have a nice patio area facing the water if you're looking for outdoor seating. Staff was great despite it being brunch time on a Sunday. read more

Please disregard my one star it's actually ZERO. TUK should be embarrassed. Literally. Went here for Mother's Day and made a RESERVATION. We were told our food would take 45 minutes, but we ordered wine and enjoyed the patio. We waiting an HOUR and 10 minutes to be told the kitchen ran out of food, but they weren't sure if our food would be even be made, they just had to go through the tickets they had and see what was left. We ordered queso for an appetizer and kept asking if we could at least have that, after an hour it came and it came out cold and almost solid. Way to ruin my first Mother's Day! Mother's Day isn't to blame for running out of food, it's poor planning. Your restaurant has an occupancy and it wasn't even that busy. On a side note, our waitress was very nice and it was not her fault. read more

I love this restaurant for its location, view and atmosphere. The food is delicious and the brunch is divine.

Ended up here because First Watch had a 30 minute wait. The service and the churro donut holes were great, but I ordered a Colorado Omelette and was brought a lobster, or seafood omelette. I could not tell it was wrong until I got 25% through the omelette case that's when I got to the filling. Luckily I'm not allergic to shell fish, because I would have needed an Epipen. I told the manager about the mix up and she made it right, bringing me the correct meal, but by that time everyone rise was done eating. I may be back if First Watch doesn't have a wait list again. read more

We initially had a little trouble placing our Thanksgiving order by phone. However, after sending email, the General Manager - Anthony Messina quickly responded and got everything squared away. We ate lunch at the restaurant on Wednesday as we needed to pick up our Thanksgiving order anyway. Anthony came out and introduced himself. He apologized for our Thanksgiving meal ordering trouble and to ensure our experience in the restaurant was great. We don't leave a lot of reviews but we really appreciated the personal touch from Anthony, the food, atmosphere and overall service. See you again soon Union Kitchen. Keep up the good work! read more

The food is excellent. The servers are excellent. They were recommended their fish and chips from a friend, the recommendation was spot on... fantastic fish. Hush puppies are fantastic. Not a complain of anything we experienced save one. I removed 1 star because it's pretty limited seating choices for someone who uses a walker or wheels handicapped people. The biggest problem was that the tables were so close together my dads walker couldn't get thru if he needed to use the restroom. He didn't need to do so, but if he had, tables would have needed to be moved. A little thought towards those with walking limitations would have made it more enjoyable. We loved the staff. read more

Food - not hot, not good. I had ravioli with short ribs and what I got was gummy Kroger-grade ravioli with bbq all over the top. Yuck. And 3 cold stale onion rings. One daughter asked for filet medallions rare they were well done. She ordered a replacement dish and it too was over cooked. The waiter even guessed the first plate was not right but they did not comp it. Husband had grilled cheese with bacon jam. There was no bacon jam no aioli and hardly any cheese. Even the fries were not hot. My mom asked for an extra side of the jalapeño cheese grits but these were definitely a day old or more. They were hard as a rock and not hot. When we got the appetizer I knew it was going to be bad because the tuna tartare was in one giant piece, not the little cubes that make this dish fun to share. Uhoh! I shoulda known this kitchen was very inexperienced or did not care. There were only 2 other tables and I saw four plates go back to the kitchen from the other tables. I also asked about the wine and was referred to the manager since waiter didn't know. Manager admitted she hadn't tried them. The motto says " good food good friends good wine " so I kinda thought they could discuss the wine list. Guess not. At the end we got fruit pizza which was like eating mint cardboard with canned mandarin oranges. Epic. :( I will say the beignet were good. My mom loved her scallops. Service - ok. Friendly but how many times do we have to ask for water? Sheesh. Only 2 other total tables in the whole restaurant... Forgot to bring cream for coffee. Forgot to turn in the sides we ordered. Did not forget to give us the bill. :P Prices - this was a birthday dinner but absolutely horrible food. Honestly thought they would come it but $450 later here we are. read more

Two years later and this place has vastly improved. I'm not sure if it is because it was lunch time Vs dinner or just needed time to settle in, but I enjoyed my lunch today! Also, had a really great waitress. Didn't catch her name, but she was training someone. She was friendly, fast, and had a good vibe. We order the crab tower, which came with friend wonton chips. I could have eaten this as my meal. It was a good size and nice presentation. I had the lunch chicken burger- chicken patty, cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato and onions. I swapped out the chips for french fries. It was really juicy and full of flavor. They definitely improved this burger from last time! My friend got a Greek wrap that she said she always orders. It is on the lite menu and it looked really good. Portions are big on the sandwiches, burgers, wraps from what I could see from all the other tables. Much improved and I'm glad my friend asked to eat here so I could give it another try. read more

The Union Kitchen - Crab Tower lunch/happy hour special. - New American Near Me - Cypress, Texas

Spicy chicken burger on the lunch menu with house made chips. The chips, what few that were not burnt, were good. The menu stated there were a number of spices and a sauce. I thought I was getting a chicken breast topped with the spices and sauce, but it had bacon, lettuce and tomato. Nothing could have made this ground chicken burger better. My son had the Caribbean fish tacos. One part of the fish was very thin, a skimpy fish taco. It needed some type of sauce. There wasn't enough fish to make the taco good. I have been to this restaurant a number of times, and at best, it was just OK. I'm done! It was Veterans Day and my husband did get a free burger. That was the only positive I have to say about this restaurant. Perhaps we got food preparers in training, sad. Waitress was OK, ambiance was nice. We were able to set outside on a beautiful day. As I said, never again. read more

4 stars for the lake view. It's a really nice seating area outside, with plenty of room and fans, and of course it's on the lake. We went there for breakfast and got the garden omelet and the fajita omelet. Both were pretty solid, a little lack of seasoning and the fajita omelet had basically 5 small cubes of steak in it. We also got the donut holes, and those were really good, coated in cinnamon and Nutella, with 2 types of dips. The service was alright, but I will forever be mad that I was charged $3 dollars because I asked for toast, and I got a singular piece of toast, a singular slightly burnt piece of toast. Overall, would I come back for breakfast... probably not But I will come back for lunch/dinner, hopefully that will be better. read more

Great atmosphere and food was great. Best shrimp burger I've had, my favorite. Spinach dip was good, would have liked temperature to be a bit warmer. Everyone enjoyed their entree. Service could have been better though. Our waitress barely came back to check if we needed anything or didn't refill our drinks. Had to ask for things multiple times because she forgot. read more

Took my fiancé here for Mother's Day with our 1 year old. They accommodated us with a high chair and greeted us at the door enthusiastically. The staff was extremely nice and outgoing several managers spoke to use as well, but personally the ambiance of the restaurant was dull. The environment would be my only negative comment because the FOOD......WAS GREAT! I had the chicken & waffle concoction I was weary of it being a lot of food at first. Once I started eating it, I couldn't stop. Everything you see on the stick was great, I will say I was not impressed with the grits only because it had a bitter aftertaste. Honestly I probably won't be back as I just feel there are more exciting restaurants to try. read more

Nestled in the Boardwalk Towne Lake shopping center overlooking the beautiful lake, UN offered brunch and regular menu over the weekend. My sister and I walked the Heart2Market and then decided to grab a bite to eat. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and then decided to sit outside. A bit windy and had a freak out moment while we sat outside a giant Texas stink bug decided to fly and land on my mouth!! I appreciated that the employees tried to shop away the bug, a nice gesture. I'd say if it's windy, I wouldn't choose to sit outside next time. Our table was the only table not given an umbrella install on our table but I noticed other tables were given one. Maybe because we were well into our meal, but still... Service was super friendly, the hostess, server, and a few others checked in on us and I really appreciated that. The time it took for the food to arrive was a bit slow as well. We ordered: The Tejas Beni (eggs Benedict) The classic Belgian waffles 1x grapefruit Mimosa Everything was great but the Benedict was a bit too salty for our liking...overall, a great experience... read more

I travel a lot and there's good food and service at a lot of places. Every once in a while, you find a great place. The food, the environment, drinks are great, but it's always the people that make it a place you save and want to come back to. From the hostess to the bartender, cook and management you could tell they wanted the best. It was Nelson our server, who really shined. If you're lucky enough to have a server who is genuine, authentic and says "I don't know but let's get you a taste to see if you like it.." If you're in the area, try the baked goat cheeae anything on the menu and ask to be seated in Nelson's section read more

I've been eating at UK in Townelake for 4 years and have always loved the food..UNTIL.. We called in an order to-go on Thursday. I originally asked for the Shrimp Burger but it was not available so the manager suggested the po boy. When my husband brought our lunch home, I was stunned at the "shrimp" to bread ratio. There were, (and I counted the tiny little crustaceans who should have still been under the care of their mother) 8 total "shrimp", lying inside 2 halves of Titanic sized French bread. Now, to be fair there were 2 large slices of tomato and some shredded lettuce, so the $20 price tag on this magnificent "shrimp" was clearly justifiable, right? Add to this culinary masterpiece, a bowl of Tomato Basil soup, which was essentially tomato paste with 3 strips of chopped basil. The acidic content of this Chernobyl-isqe disaster could have nuked the entire state of Texas! I dont know who was cooking that day, but I will not be back! What a disappointment read more

It was a gorgeous Sunday morning and we couldn't resist grabbing brunch on the patio. The outdoor seating had such a welcoming vibe - friendly chatter in the air, sunlight peeking through the leaves, and a nice cool breeze. From the start, our server Dessalyn was absolutely wonderful. She had a big smile on her face and was genuinely happy to see us. Dessalyn was super quick with our drinks and food. Our mimosas arrived almost as soon as we ordered them, and she always kept our cups full. Even on that sunny morning, she noticed the bright sun and quickly moved us to a shaded spot so we stayed cool and comfortable. Her attentiveness really stood out - she checked in with us just enough to make sure we were enjoying everything without interrupting our conversation. read more

Spinach & Artichoke Dip : 9/10, was soooo creamy and cheesy was the perfect balance of cheese and spinach. Lobster grilled cheese : is absolutely one of my go to's!! I typically get this every time i go, for seafood lovers i definitely recommend!! The brunch drinks are always good and worth it! read more

What a Fantastic Sunday Brunch! Great price for Mimosas when you get the Special.

I have patroned two other locations and this location is by far my favorite. They have an amazing patio, great service, and of course the food is excellent. I was not expecting my burger to be the size it was but it was huge and full of flavor. The side of hashbrowns were seasoned and baked to perfection. The only down side was the side of mixed fruit I order for my 7 month old niece. Most of the fruit was either not sweet or too hard. If I order a side of fruit again I will request raspberries and strawberries only as those where the only fruit she enjoyed. When you walk in the hostesses are friendly. Our waiter was great and the food came out fast. We had two other people I am assuming one was a manager who asked how everything was which I thought was nice since a lot of restaurants do not do anymore. I will be back for dinner soon. read more

Our first visit was okay. The location has a great view of water that would be perfect sitting outside on a warm day. The inside looked nice and welcoming. I loved that some of the servers were dressed up for the holidays. The food was good, not amazing. My favorite was the churro donut holes and peach bellini. A lot of it didn't have enough flavor for me. I liked the steak burrito, but added a bit of cajun hot sauce to it. I had my breakfast potatoes crisped with peppers, onions, and cheese. Doing it that way saved it, I highly recommend it. The deviled eggs were okay. My partner had the breakfast boost bowl. It was definitely a healthy option he was looking for, but he did add a bit of salt, pepper, and cajun sauce. Overall, it was a great visit, but I would check out other items to see what I'd enjoy more. read more

A friend and I really wanted to eat at a place on the boardwalk by the water and so we randomly chose The Union Kitchen, it was the best food choice we made all week. The menu is intense, Nelson our server, was excellent, and well versed on all the options. The food came out quickly, and was delicious! Laura was the manager on duty and she was so kind and attentive, we finished the night off with their beignets, that were reminiscent to Cafe Du Monde's legendary treat. Over all an amazing experience, we wanted to go back tonight, they were going to even save our table for us, unfortunately we've been invited to a conference event this evening, and cannot go, sooo sorry Nelson and Laura, but we hope to see you both again on our next visit to Houston!! read more

Came to check this place out after a friend referred it to us. Walked in and it's a very nice location, great set up, gives a classy and more upscale vibe. Our waiter was great, he was very attentive. We started with cappuccinos and the million dollar deviled eggs. The cappuccinos were on point! Would've been better with raw sugar but still delicious. I personally liked the deviled eggs but my lady wasn't too big of a fan. I ordered the Elvis waffle. Be prepared. It's a TON of waffles to eat. I think there were 8 huge quarters and I was only able to finish two of them. Did not expect how sweet they would be. Delicious if you're going for the sweet tooth. I will most likely order something else the next time and then update the review. But again, all around great service. I'd recommend to stop in if you're looking for a some good eats. It's a wee bit more pricey than the average place but I thought it was worth it. read more
