Great food, great service and good atmosphere. The only complaint would be some questionable and disrespectful patrons. When we sat down, I headed for the washroom. Of the three stalls in the women's washroom, two stalls had nasty unflushed floaters in the toilets. While some people choose to be pigs, I immediately let staff know so that it could be cleaned up. The staff apologized and headed in to address the situation. Really unfortunate that some people could be so disgusting and not even figure out how to flush a toilet! With that out of the way, the portions were huge, the food was great and the service friendly. This is a great place with lots of seating options both private and not. Parking right out front is easy and often available. read more

I searched for this place under breakfast. There are numerous remarks here about breakfast buffet and how good it is. That's something they no longer do! Very disappointing since it's here, their website and FB. I settled on the nachos. The hot peppers are fresh from a pickle bottle, served on the side wet and the salsa was some form of soup concoction. That tasted ok, but far too wet to use on nachos. During most of my meal, there was a cleaner going crazy upstairs vacuuming. It detracted what little ambiance the place has. read more

Stopped for an early lunch on my way through the Valley. This was a great choice. Great food and service. Had the ham and apple panini with a side of vege chili. Delicious! read more

Went for lunch, ate on the patio. Service was quick & friendly, the food was fantastic, prices are reasonable. I will definitely go back next time I'm in the area! read more

Usually the food is great but portions are pretty small for the price you are paying. "Best club in Berwick" should be called the two bite club. People are hungry and broke out here, feed them. read more

Great find in the middle of nowhere. Casual atmosphere, modern, Traditional, kind of a kitchen party in a gastro pub feel. Food was excellent. Had the Dragon's Breath Burger with the roasted beet salad. A local IPA from Schoolhouse Brewery was the perfect pairing. Homemade coconut cream pie was perfect. read more

Hmm, certainly something amiss today. The fish and chips were subpar, greasy and the fries were tepid at best. Club sandwich waved over the toaster, pale and anemic, much more like plain bread and toast. The sole waitress seemed to run off her feet, with what I can only assume was more dinner time business than they staffed for. Every body deserves a another chance and that is what they will get is one more chance.. read more

In town for a visit, yummy brunch with an interesting twist in eggs benedict, delicious

Brilliant burgers with great skin on fries. Also do veggie and vegan options. Would highly recommend them. read more

The Union Street - Main restaurant - Burgers Near Me - Berwick, Nova Scotia

Stopped into this little Berwick gem on a Thursday night. Lots of seating indoors and a little patio outside. Looks like they host a few sweet bands here from time to time. Would be fun to catch a show here. The food was extraordinary. I had the chicken grilled veggie sandwich. It came on an in-house, homemade,focaccia bread. It was soft and very flavourful. I chose the fully loaded baked potato soup and it was a fabulous choice. The soup was not chunky but yum. Great service, wonderful experience and I can't wait to come back. read more

The Union Street - Tons of cool decor. Great atmosphere. - Burgers Near Me - Berwick, Nova Scotia

Wasn't overly impressed. No issues with service, everyone was friendly and helpful. Food was just ok. Fish and chips is hard to do well without over cooking and killing the taste. Likely won't eat here again. read more

The Union St. Cafe is my favourite place to eat when I'm visiting my family. It goes without saying that if my family reads this, I'll be in huge trouble. Let's try to keep this to ourselves, shall we? It's a long way to go for the perfect Clubhouse Sandwich, but I promise you it's worth the drive. I mean...if you live in Berwick it's not a long way to go. Of course. But from Halifax it's a longish haul. I'd do it more regularly but that would mean I'd have to visit my Mom while I was out there as well, so you know how that is. The servings are generous and hearty, the ingredients are of the highest quality, and the flavours are amazing. With the added benefit of friendly service and prompt attention the place deserves all five stars and maybe a small bonus star. *. On Friday nights they have live music and give you tasty treats like free mussels, to encourage you to hang out and mingle. (as an aside: This is an ideal time to meet attractive local people who may have already met/dated everyone in the area and are keen to meet someone new. This is where a "Halifax 7" can appear to be a "Berwick 10", due to an attractiveness skewing that can be attributed to a phenomenon known as geographical diversity.) Drive out there, eat some divine and nutritious food, smile at a guitar player; you won't regret it. read more

We stopped in at the Union Street Cafe one day when we were driving by Berwick and dying to find a place to eat. I must say, we were really impressed by what we found. Upon entry to the Union Street Cafe, you can choose to dine on the cafe side (casual dining room style), or at the Wick Pub, it's even more relaxed counterpart. The decor was eclectic, with bright colours and yet also homey, and the food was just the same. I had the meatloaf with fresh veggies and the gingerbread with lemon sauce for dessert - both were delicious. And being able to wash them down with freshly made lemonade was pretty awesome, too. We poked our head in the Wick Pub side and our server told us that they host weekly open mics, and they also have ticketed shows and concerts. I'll definitely keep my eye out for shows at the venue, and I think that a sunny day this summer may find us at the Union Street Cafe once again. read more

Tried here for lunch on a sunny Sunday in October after picking it out in advance, based on the online menu. A friend and I arrived just about noon and got perfect street parking right out front. The atmosphere inside is very nice, with a well-decorated cafe decor with unique artwork, etc on one side, and a cozier, pub style on the other. My guess is seating for 60 or 70 altogether? Friendly service. My "Weekend Eggs Benny" ($15) was very good, with high quality ham slices atop a homemade English Muffin? Very fresh and almost tea-biscuit-like in texture, flavorful, with side of well made home fries. My friend said his 'Union St Burger" was delicious ($13 with cheddar and bacon), cooked medium-well with a touch of pink that he likes, but found the fries much too salty and couldn't really finish them for health reasons. So I ate a few of those. I'd definitely go back here anytime as there are many things on the menu I want to try. If I lived in the area, I'm sure it would be my main hang-out, even for the live music gigs they put on. read more

See all

Got a side shave and a man bun? Plastic neon shades? Come on in and enjoy the street bicycles mounted on the wall and the vintage cameras and some craft beer even. Want vegetarian food? They have some. Is it the best vegetarian? This is rural Nova Scotia. Calm down. The fish and chips are a generous portion, though bit hard and overcooked. Veggie burger was flavorful and broke apart readily into delicious hummus upon squeezing the bun (honestly it's delicious. Yes, buy it. Good Lord.) They have food for small people if you're a breeder. The service was 5/5. You'll do no better in Berwick, of this I can assure you with confidence (if you're into this whole aesthetic). read more

To start off I rarely give 5 stars for anything or anybody. That being said when I think of Union Street Cafe' two items come to mind that are 5 star items. First is the Greek Salad. I know where the feta cheese comes from and using the finest ingredients is one of the trademarks at Union Street Cafe'. This is always a great choice with a meal or for a starter. The portions are generous at this restaurant, and this creates a major problem. It is important to leave room for dessert. So you have to choose between leaving some of your meal on the plate so you have room for dessert or else you just stuff it all in and order dessert anyways. There is no simple answer to this dilemma. The top item at the Union Street Cafe' is their freshly made "Coconut Cream Pie". It is incredible, and consider that this reaction is from a person who normally won't eat anything Coconut. My preference is Chocolate anything, but once I experienced Coconut Heaven there was no turning back to old habits. 5 star dessert every time. Here is a little tip. If you plan to go to Union Street, reserve your slice of pie ahead of time, then make the reservation. This is not a joke! You have been warned as they run out of this dessert regularly. read more

This is a little gem in "downtown" Berwick. Mike and I stopped here for lunch one day after hitting up Mum's Bakery (which is always worth the drive). The decor is very, very hipster. An old bicycle hangs on one wall, along with old rolling pins, old cameras, and other old knick-knacks. They sell old records and new record players. The cafe section is bright without blinding you, clean and well-maintained with hardwood floors and comfy-looking booths (they were taken when we came in; the tables are comfy too :-). There is a large bar where bands play at night and rummies congregate during the day. It's ... not as nice in there, with dark carpet and not much decor from what we could see. The bar itself was quite nice, though. Service is a bit slow, as there seemed to be only one server for the lunch rush. However, the food was pretty good. I had the Vietnamese pork burger with a red cabbage slaw and sriracha mayo. It was delicious. Mike enjoyed his Union Street burger. The fries were not to my liking as they appeared to be the double-fried type. Prices are reasonable and the menu is varied. This is a good place to stop for lunch on your way through the valley. read more

Went there for lunch today to celebrate my friends birthday & we won't be coming back. It took an hour for the food to arrive and once it did it was okay. fries were good but the burger was a bit over cooked and dry and my boyfriends salad was disgusting. You could tell the lettuce wasn't dried.. it just tasted wet and watered down, And the drinks.. I was surprised to say the least. A $10 drink that will be gone in 2 sips in one of the tiniest glasses I've ever seen.. overall vibe there was also off and did not enjoy. read more

We stopped by this cute cafe on the way to Halifax. I got the ham and cheese panini with a beet side salad. Both were a perfect lunch portion and delicious! My husband got the fish and chips. This was a huge portion. He loved it! We had impeccable service. While we were paying for our food we were asking about the toll to get into Halifax. We only have America dollars so we were concerned that we wouldn't be able to get through. A kind customer gave us Canadian money for the toll! It was a nice atmosphere with blues music playing in the background. I highly recommend this place! read more

My husband and I were in Berwick for a night away. We discovered Union Street and were amazed by the food and price! It was so delicious, we went back the next day! read more

This cute cafe is worth a drive to Berwick. The menu is varied enough to suit all palates,even vegetarians. There are specials everyday which keep the regular patrons from becoming complacent. The mains are generously portioned but the starters not so. Try the califlower popcorn but pass on the nachos. The peanut noodles are extremely rich.....loaded with a thick sauce which could be improved with a greater variety of Thai spices. The tacos and fish and chips look tempting so a repeat visit is scheduled. The craft beer is popular but the wine list could use a revamp, more choice in the moderate price range. It is encouraging to see this type of establishment thrive in a slightly out of the way location. read more

Great place to eat. The atmosphere was relaxed and the food was prepared perfectly. The salad that came with it looked like it was just picked out of the garden. This was my second time here and my second trip was as good as the first. Many more trips to come . read more

We tried this place on the recommendation of a foodie friend who raved about the place. The server let us try a taste of the blue cheese sauce before deciding on the Dragon's breath burger with a side of wicked fries (cheese fries with portobello mushrooms) and the apple salad followed by a delicious slice of coconut pie. The list of local suppliers above the front windows was a nice touch. Service was attentive and friendly. We have a new favourite place. read more

This is primarily a review of the Wick Pub, which is colocated with the Union Street Cafe though the food was from the Union Cafe menu. Ate here as part of a wedding party. The beef tenderloin was properly cooked and tasty and the portion size was good to enormous. A limited beer selection was offset by the fact that four of the beer available were excellent brews from Propellor and Stutz cider, locally produced in Berwick was available by the bottle. Great live music the night we were there and friendly, if overwhelmed, service. You will not regret trying the coconut cream pie, or for a more unusual post dinner sweet try the peanut butter chocolate cheesecake. read more

A post-Gala Days 5-Miler favourite! Brunch here is great. There's a breakfast buffet with an assortment of tasty things like sausages, bacon, baked beans, fish cakes, eggs, muffins, and salads. Good coffee, too. On the menu...can't go wrong. Really! The burgers are hand patted from local beef, the pork is pulled from local pigs, the chicken from a local farm. They source what they can from the wealth of options available in the valley. The service can be a bit off-hand (but friendly) but don't let that stop you! You can spend any extra time reading the quotes on the walls. read more

Probably one of the best restaurants in Berwick, but wait staff is easily stressed. Don't let them wait for drinks or for the check, guys!

Always great! Everyone I've gone, the food has been fantastic and we'll prepared. They always use local foods to make their creations. Would recommend to anyone visiting Berwick. read more

There aren't a ton of options in the area so we were pleasantly surprised when this place had great food. I had the noodles in peanut and ginger sauce. It was amazing. The best tofu I've ever had (those of you laughing at the thought of good tofu can just stop right now). My husband had a special that was a sweet and sour vegetable stir fry (with tofu as well). He loved his as well. We may just eat here every night of our vacation. They had plenty of vegetarian options and I was torn between what I got and the mango tango burger. The only drawback (and the reason I gave 4 stars and not 5) was the fact that there were a ton of black house flies in the place. Is that normal for around here? read more

This place is pretty cool. I like the live shows and the personable staff. Food is great. I have gone there a few times and will be going back lots more read more

Always great service and yummy dinners! I am not crazy about their popular Saturday brunch, but all my friends are so maybe I'm nuts.
