This was the perfect visit. I was the last customer of the evening during Feb restaurant week. Dinner was $25 for a 3 course selection. This was my very first time visiting The union Kitchen, and I'm so glad I came. I ordered the Philly egg rolls as my app choice, My main course I had the Island breeze Fish, with the coconut rice, which was very nice (I'm not much of a coconut girl because of texture, but this was perfect) and the red velvet cake as my dessert. Everything was very good. So great in fact that I wanted to dine here twice during HRW, but didn't get the chance to do so. The service was very friendly and attentive, I appreciate the management feedback and her invitation back with a coupon offer. I will defiantly be returning here to explore the menu more. read more

Pretty solid spot and experience. We got the Philly cheese egg rolls and the Crispy bang bang shrimp - easily the highlights of our experience. Both delicious and for some reason seemed to not run out for the longest time lol. My blackened dynamite chicken was okay at the restaurant 5.5/10. I enjoyed it more as leftovers. I do like how many menu options they have, so I would go back and try different items! read more

Food was delicious. We had the Brussels, spinach artichoke dip and goat cheese spread. The wine was also delicious, Suite blanc. Our waitress was an absolute doll! Super friendly, just the right amount of attentiveness and food was prompt. I also really enjoyed the play list. But, after 7pm I couldn't hear it because the restaurant was full. read more

We had a work event here in the private room and it was amazing! Dana was so easy to work with and made sure everything was perfect and that everyone was taken care of. Taylor, Veronica, and Art were our servers for the evening and they were very pleasant and attentive. This is the 3rd time I have been here and I would definitely recommend to anyone for casual or celebration or private event. The food is delicious and they have a great variety to select from. It is reasonably priced (especially for an event like ours!). They also have a GREAT happy hour. Thank you Dana & team for a lovely evening! Will definitely be back read more

Located off of Memorial in a shopping plaza, Union Kitchen's menu is pretty close to a traditional American diner with some add-on options. Came by for lunch and service was solid; quick and on point. Got the bang bang chicken and crab cakes for apps. The crab cakes weren't honestly very good and I couldn't find any crab in the middle of the breading. The shrimp came on a bed of slaw/salad and was actually better than it looked. I had hoped the shrimp would've been battered slightly better and had a stronger sauce. I got the blackened redfish orleans for my main. It was a bit busy and not very Cajun at all. The sausage slices were a bit bland and I did not enjoy the brown sauce very much; the dish looked much more flavorful/complex than it is. Overall the flavor was a bit below expectations but it's my first time trying out the menu and definitely could've ordered sub-optimally and missed out on their heavy hitters. read more

The food, the service by Miss Faith, and the ambience were wonderful. The Miller's Meatloaf, the Caesar salad, the iced tea, and of course, their homemade Potato Soup was to die for. Yum Yum yummy! We'll see you soon. Antigone and John. 5 Stars! read more

The brunch selection i observed looked amazing although I had hammer on my mind. I got the Hamburger Bowl. Burger was cooked to perfection and topped with cheese & onion strings which all sat atop a bowl of lettuce & fries. I felt the fries, which were covered in cheese, were a little soggy. If I order again, I will definitely omit the French fries and lean in on more salad greens. The staff was courteous with two managers stopping by to check in on needs and opinions. The ambiance was mixed- beautiful back room for private parties, beautiful bar, beautiful & unique lighting but, the pictures on the wall were childish versions of wine bottles- would recommend Union reach out to an art college & have one of the talented kids help them out. Why four, well 3.5 isn't an option and 3 is too low for the promise it showed. there were SO many amazing dishes - the fish and chips looked amazing. I will be back. And the flavor was there, the meat very fresh & cooked to perfection- I'd just skip the fries next time. read more

Raul is the best! Fabulous food and great happy hour prices! Lots of parking out front. Outdoor covered patio is nice too.

I have been going to this restaurant fora little over the last year and always highly recommend it. I have celebrated my birthday here 3 times. I went this past May for my birthday for a late lunch with my boss and coworker and although the food was on point, like always, the server was not very friendly and did not come to check on our table often at all despite the restaurant being almost empty. It felt as though we were being rushed out. But I chalked it up to maybe he was having a bad day. Following week my friends wanted to have a brunch on Sunday to do a late bday celebration so here I was again. And got the same waiter. Again- he was not friendly and rushed us to leave. Even brought us our checks without asking if we were done and we were still in the middle of our mimosas. Had he not brought our checks we would have ordered another bottle and dessert. Very disappointed in the service as I usually rave about this place and usually highly recommend. I don't feel welcome any more. Not sure what is going on but I hope if I go again we don't experience this treatment again. read more

Tell me the last time you spent 4 hours at a brunch-themed all things Queen Béy AND Renaissance?! From the decor, to the themed menu items, to the pop-up photo-ops, Hector & Jeff @theunionkitchenhou were amazing hosts for our lively Renaissance brunch affair! Honeycomb drinks?! "Blue(berry) Ivy" biscuits?! Personal swag bags? Count me in! As if I needed another reason to pull out my silver boots & cosplay alongside some newfound @heynewfriends! The jell-o shots were plentiful, as were the mimosa flights! I'll for sure be back (&maybe by then The Queen Béy drink can be a permanent menu item...). read more

Let's start with my server, Veronica, she was AMAZING! She was very kind; I ordered a mimosa and it was flat, I was hesitant to say anything about any issues with the taste of my drink, she fixed it and even offered other options. She told me never to apologize that she is there to serve me. The food was excellent. The service was excellent. The restaurant was clean along with the restrooms. We had pasta, chicken and waffles, omelettes and pancake tacos. It was all tastefully delicious. I will definitely be back. The experience was amazing. read more

Their espresso martini was good and the service and staff was very welcoming! Unfortunately, the food was so lackluster that I am honest embarrassed I suggested this restaurant to the group. Soggy pizza. Dry Brussels sprouts. I won't be going back. read more

Brett provided great service at the memorial location. I miss having this restaurant in Bellaire. Mother's day was crowded and it looked like each server had a lot of tables but they all tried their best. Food was good, fish was fresh. We started with the bang bang shrimp. Unfortunately there is very little shrimp on the plate so I would recommend they choose a smaller plate. I had the lobster ravioli. My husband had a stuffed snapper that was very good. The crab Florentino and blackened salmon also good. My kids loved the chicken tenders. Texas sheet cake with dr pepper was fantastic! The table was tight for 6 of us. They put up a cute mother's day backdrop and had a face painter. read more

Enjoyed a delicious dinner at Union Kitchen. The menu has a lot of great options, including gluten free. The special tonight was recommended by our server, Brett. He's the best, ask for him. Brett makes great recommendations on food, cocktails/wine, and dessert. He a real professional, the type of server that makes your dining experience good. Union Kitchen is a good place to eat brunch, lunch or dinner. read more

Dreadful food last Sunday night. 4 of us went out for dinner, looking forward to the event. The food for everyone of us was terrible and so very disappointing. Never going back. Cocktails were good but were just martinis so couldn't go wrong. read more

Excellent service. Excellent food. The asparagus was amazing. It was fried perfectly. The coating was very flavorful. The shrimp topping was delicious and a perfect pairing. The crab cakes were very meaty. They were not fried hard. They were soft and delicious. The topping on them was delicious. The crab and shut tuna tower was perfect. The shrimp scampi pasta was delicious. The steak was cooked to order but had no seasoning on it at all. The Texas sheet cake was not a cake and not a brownie but a thick piece of fudge candy. read more

The ambiance is great...cozy and not too noisy. The food is good although I think they should expand their menu options. (The cocktails are very good!).

We were recently in Houston to celebrate a friend's 70th birthday. Luckily, we found the Union Kitchen and enjoyed brunch on July 4th. I enjoyed the beachy Paloma and the crab cakes from the happy hour menu. My husband enjoyed one of the breakfast bowls. We decided to return on Sunday with friends for lunch. Jordan served us. Her service was impeccable. The food, drinks, and dessert were all delicious. read more

We came to happy hour here today. John took care of us for lunch but we loved Hector! He was so much fun! My favorite drink is the mango mojito! They put my favorite rum in it: Flor de caña!

Came here for brunch on a Saturday. I ordered the waffles, my gf ordered the union bowl. The waffles were good, presentation was cute. I wish they had a bit more cream or berries on it to give it a bit more dynamic flavors, but overall solid. Gf sent back the Union bowl, it was a bit dry and too eggy rather than being a comprehensive bowl. She got the tuna tartare instead and said it was solid. Service was decent, the outside patio was a nice place to sit on a pleasant day. Interior felt a bit jarring to the patio to be honest, felt more old fashioned and serious. read more

The food and the service were good. We went for brunch and the mimosas are great. The ambiance was quiet but lively.

The food and service is generally good at Union Kitchen Ella but the bartender has no help and it seems to be due to poor management of support staff. The bartender works tirelessly, but gets no help. read more

It was for a party of 20. The server was amazing very prompt. Food was fabulous. Will definitely need to go again with family.

This place is top notch! I've been here too many times to count (reviewed on Google with a 5 star rating), but this is my first Yelp review. They have a great HH and you get double loyalty points if you're a card holder. I love the location, parking, food, drinks, service, atmosphere, prices, literally everything! We sat at the bar today and Kim was our server. She was warm, experienced and helpful with suggestions. Try the cucumber martini, only $6 on the happy hour menu. They als have 1/2 price shareable plates that do not taste 1/2 priced. The bang bang shrimp, Lolo ceviche tostadas and goat cheese with pita bread are all AH-mazing! This is my favorite place hands down. read more

Don't order the Snapper Hemingway if you are expecting a good portion of crab with your fish, there was barely any! However, they do give you an oversized portion of very dry Brussel sprouts (I would avoid this entree especially at the price). The fish does have some nice flavor, however. We also ordered the carnitas egg rolls and they were fantastic. This might be a good spot for lunch and drinks, but based on my experience I would look elsewhere for a great dinner experience. read more
