I visited with my mother after a visit to the Carnegie Museum. Union Grill was very close, and I figured it would have something we both like. We were seated quickly, and our server was friendly and professional. He kept my Sprite topped up. Union Grill played great music, and it seems like a well frequented spot. While there were other patrons, the noise level was good. I was delighted to see a chicken tender lunch option, and I am more delighted to say that it was fantastic. The chicken was great. The fries were great. If we were in Pittsburgh longer, I would have loved to come back for the brownie sundae. read more

The food and service was EXCELLENT!! The place was a little noisy but who doesn't like noise... It's fun! However, parking is awful! I had to give it a 5-Star just for the food and service alone. In my opinion, the menu is fairly basic but has a little bit of everything. read more

Haven't been here in a minute so I had to leave a new review. It's still as good as I remember. Prices have gone up with inflation but it's still reasonable in today's economy. You get a lot of good food and you will roll out of there. I love that they use jackworth ginger beer in their mules now. Also they still do half off drinks for late night happy hour and it slaps. Service is always good, the ladies who work there have been there since I was in college and it always feels like home. Ambiance is still bustling and you willl probably wait for a table but it's worth it. We waited a bit for our food this time but it's to be expected since they were so busy on a Friday night on graduation weekend. read more

Used to be one of my favorite places. Then they renovated. When you sit in a booth now, you feel every move the person behind you makes. The last time I was there, they played really bad girleen pop. I haven't been back. They don't want me. The food was still good, though. I like their salads with salmon on top. Wish it was as pleasant an environment as it used to be. read more

I took my family here and was pleased to see they had a kids menu. My 10 year old really liked the veggie burger. It was really sweet but so good with the egg. My husband thought it was too sweet. We were also happy to watch the Bill's game. Nicole was our server and she was great. I do wish they had more vegetarian or vegan entrees. read more

Union Grill - Should have saved room for dessert. - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My family and I stopped here for a quick lunch after walking around the Carnegie Museum. It was around 1 o'clock, and lunch was still pretty busy. The service was quick, and all the servers are quite friendly. My husband ordered the turkey-and-cheese specialty featured on TV. I believe I had the chicken tenders, and my dad ordered the BLT. The BLT looked delicious. All the food came out very well. The atmosphere was more family-oriented and not too loud, making for good conversation. The bathrooms were very clean, and my dad said he was quite impressed. read more

UG has been cranking out delicious meals for many decades. Their service is outstanding and the dining room is nice and comfortable for larger parties or small. They have a lively bar crowd too. If you like turkey Devonshires, theirs is not to be missed. It's truly one of the very best I've ever had. Absolutely delicious! It's a belly buster for sure and probably 2000 calories but well worth it. They have a nice selection of beers on tap and a full bar. read more

Union Grill has consistently very good food and menu selection. Great location in Oakland.

Great place to go that contains a mixed menu of basic fare, and unique offerings. We started with the rich, flavorful French onion soup, and the delicious Matzah ball soup. Both were presented in large bowls, ingredients combined perfectly to bring comfort and delight. We continued with the Pittsburgh Salad with its own great variations including romaine, and cheddar along with enjoyable fry, tomato, cuke and for us chicken. Delicious, but we were sad to see no offering of a steak addition as an option. I was excited to try the pickle town chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint. From the brioche bun, to the thick chicken breast that was juicy with my choice of preparation as buffalo chicken, the flavor was popping with the delectable pickle town slaw that contained halved dill slices. My fiancé had the Pittsburgh fish and this was truly a Pittsburgh portion. The wonderfully hand battered cod was so huge, he had to eat a portion prior to continuing on his brioche bun. Our waitress was attentive even though she had many tables to deal with. Sad to see they painted white over the prior green, but the food quality remains as excellent as always. We will be back! read more

Union Grill is located on S Craig St in Oakland and three of us decided to go on a whim after a couple of hours at the nearby Carnegie Art and Natural History Museums. We stopped by around 2pm on Sunday and there was no wait for a table. The inside is fairly large with a large bar and quite a few tables available. The food here isn't anything fancy and it's not trying to be. It's pretty solid food in general and I thought our portions were good. My only regret is that we didn't go during their happy hour where their mules and drafts are half off. read more

The food and service here are top notch. Great sandwiches, salads, the matzo ball soup is next to homemade, and I liked the chicken tenders (okay, I tried a friend's once ... ). I'll be back again and again! read more

Union grill is one of my favorite go-to's in Pitt. The vibes are casual but nice, so it's perfect for a regular lunch with friends or a nice dinner with family. The outdoor seating is very nice too, although it can get a bit chilly or hot since there are no heaters or fans. The menu is a bit limited, but I am a huge fan of the Pittsburgh fish, as well as the mashed potatoes and Caesar salad. The serving sizes are large and filling, and the prices are very reasonable. Just a good, classic American restaurant menu, and you can't go wrong with anything. Also, they have late night Mule and Dessert deals ($3.50 for a mule and $2.50 for the brownie sundae) which is a college favorite!! Now onto the service... this is tricky because I've generally had very good experiences here with the waiting staff. However, this time, I had quite possibly the worst restaurant service experience I've ever had- the hostess was extraordinarily rude and snarky throughout the entire meal. I would still recommend this restaurant, and I hope that this was a one-off experience. read more

Union Grill - Pittsburgh Fish, Classic burger - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Still going strong. Went here for lunch a while back with my wife. She got a lump crab sandwich, which looked very similar to the salmon burger I got but had a distinct flavor. It was very large. I also got takeout here recently and they packaged my sandwich very nicely in a container with the vegetable medley side. The only small downside was that I asked over the phone for no dressing on the sandwich, but they put it on anyway. They replaced it no problem. read more

I ordered the Chicken Caesar Salad with fries. The fries were a bit bland but the sandwich itself had some pretty good flavor. The lettuce wasn't soggy and it wasn't drenched in dressing. The service was pretty fast and the waiter was pretty friendly. The interior was very chic and the lighting was definitely moody. read more

This is a family favorite for many reasons. The location is near my older adult parents, the food is excellent, and the service is amazing!! We usually make a reservation for 6-8 people and they are always ready for us and allow us to sit down even if we're early. They go out of their way to be both kind and accommodating. Tonight we had Leslie as our server and she was wonderful! I can't say enough good things! We have been coming here for decades and hope to for many more! read more

Turkey Devonshire somehow eluded me as a regional foodstuff. Pittsburgh Salads were on my radar as were the Polish and Eastern European delicacies one can find in and around the area. But a bacon topped and cheese sauce drenched turkey tartine never appeared in my research. When the missus was looking for places to eat near the museum, and she mentioned Turkey Devonshire was a specialty of the house, I was sold. It didn't hurt that pierogies were also on the menu. My kids love those little potato dumplings. This joint can be jumping and fortunately we beat the crowd. It can also get loud, so be forewarned. To be fair, I'm also getting old, and am getting more sensitive to noise as I advance in years. The beer list can be found on the TVs scattered around the restaurant walls. This was super annoying. Why? The TVs rotate through a series of promotional messages for the restaurant, and there was not enough time to fully digest the beer menu before being shown a picture of the key lime cheesecake. After many minutes of craning my neck to see the menu in fits and spurts, I simply gave up. That said, the dessert special looked amazing. Sadly, Union Grill provides so much food on each plate, we had no room. Thankfully the ginger beer on tap is delightfully bright and spicy, and it helped a bit with my digestion after consuming an unconscionable quantity of cheese sauce. Of course, I have nobody to blame for that but myself. The sauce, by the way, was delicious. Overall, my Turkey Devonshire was fine. It was brought down by toast points which tasted burnt on one side. The over charred side was cleverly flipped to the bottom, so any of the superiors watching the line cook put this thing together wouldn't catch the offending black bits of bread. Had I not been with my wife, I would have alerted our server and asked for a remake, however she gets mortified if I share any dissatisfaction with restaurant staff during a meal in her presence. For what it's worth the kids enjoyed the pierogies, burgers, and house made chips. The wife was pleased with her salmon, although the veggie sides were a bit lacking. I was eager to get out of there given the level of noise, but appreciated the opportunity to try a new-to-me regional classic. Glad I went, but I'm unlikely to return. read more

Intimate venue. Came on a Friday night with a girlfriend without a reservation but only had to wait for our host to clear a table for us. We chose pilot grigio to start, then my friend opted for the fish tacos and I got the seafood cakes and a salad. We then shared. All of our choices were tasty. I probably wouldn't order the fish tacos only because it wasn't a dish you could pick up and eat like a taco. That was a bit disconcerting as, well, it is a taco. Our server was pleasant and food arrived fast. Prices were very good. read more

When I'm in town I come to this place at least 1-2 times a month. There's no finer pairing then spending a few hours in the Carnegie then heading to get a late lunch or early dinner at Union Grill. Can't remember the last time I had bad meal there. Fantastic service always happening at the bar, and an excellent remodel and legendary Pittsburgh vibe. 5/5 read more

Ah, the ever so famous Turkey Devonshire. It's apparently pretty popular at this place. Maybe even famous. That's what made me initially interested in this spot out of all the many others in the area. So, I tried the Turkey Devonshire, chicken tenders, fries, and matzo ball soup. The soup was really quite excellent. Great quality broth. It just gives a honey feeling to it. Perfect amount of seasoning. And a big piece of matzo in the middle. Good portion and fair price. Would definitely recommend as a side or appetizer. The chicken tenders I only tried a bit of, but they were great. Crispy and reasonably flavorful. The sauces they were served with are great too. Amazing ranch and awesome creamy green sauce. Fries were pretty solid as well. Now, the supposed star of the show should have been the Devonshire, but it was just too much for me. Too creamy and not cheesy enough, in my opinion. Bread got quite soggy quickly. Not much freshness or acidity to counterbalance the cream. And the Turkey itself seemed to not be the highest quality (somewhat tough). I am a bit disappointed with it, but will say the portion is very large. All in all, nice spot. It gets somewhat popular around lunch time when I went, especially with college kids. Service was decent and food is pretty good, but their star dish was just okay. read more

Union Grill is always tasty! I went with some friends after working up an appetite exploring the Carnegie Museum of Art nearby and was not disappointed. I got the Pittsburgh salad with chicken and it was a great mix of flavors. The service was good but the food did take longer to arrive than I was expecting. However I'll note that the restaurant was fairly crowded for a Sunday afternoon past the typical lunch rush. Given that the vibe was still relaxing. Union Grill is a great spot if you just need some hearty food! read more

Came back a few days ago, and the Pittsburgh Salad was pretty good! I also ordered a ginger ale and the waitress came back with a water instead, which isn't an issue, but when she came back with the ginger ale, it barely tasted like ginger ale and more like seltzer water. I also felt that the waitress was a bit unhappy she had to bring the correct drink. Otherwise a great visit to Union Grill. read more

Our party of 8 arrived prime time lunch hour and we were told it would be a 25-30 minute wait. The 4 adults strolled over to take some empty seats at the bar while the kids waited on the bench. Bloody Marys spicy were ordered and they were out of this world. They make their own Bloody Mary mix. We were seated shortly afterward and these were the orders: 2 Turkey Devonshires, church pierogies, 2 chicken tender dinners, fresh salmon burger, and smokehouse burger. Everything was quite good-fan favorite was the turkey Devonshire. Pierogies were nothing special-onions did not seem carmalized at all. Our server was good but not overly nice or anything but they were also pretty busy. Inside was bright and spacious. Will definitely return to explore more of the menu. read more

I used to love their food. It's definitely changed. I don't know if they got a new chef or what but my favorites used to be the fish tacos and church pierogies. Both changed. The fish taco is now 1 single gigantic hard to eat taco. The pierogies now don't taste made from scratch and taste more like frozen Mrs.T's. A bit disappointed since the remodel. Used to like bringing out of town guests here. It's still good, but no longer "great" Drink deals are still great and the bottle of wine deal is still awesome read more

Enjoyed lunch on a weekday at Union Grill. This was the first time I've been there in several years and I must say, the new decor is fantastic! Great job on keeping the warm character and updating the decor. I don't see Turkey Devonshire on many menu and its one of my favorites. It was everything I wanted and leftovers for the next day. The turkey, bacon and cheese sauce were delectable. I would get it again! My husband got the Reuben sandwich with mixed vegetables. He really enjoyed. I had a couple of his vegetables and was happily pleased they were fresh and lightly steamed... making them great dippers in that cheese sauce... I'm still dreaming about! read more

I haven't been here for almost 20 years but wanted to go someplace I knew my girlfriend would like after a date at Phipps. The hostess had us squeeze past the tables and bar chairs making dinners move. We preferred a Mediterranean Lavash for our appetizer. The salad on it was good but the onions were a little too overpowering. The hummus was really good. My girlfriend ordered their specialty Turkey Devonshire. I love their Devonshire (and she did too) but I ordered the French Onion Soup Broiled Pan Burger. Fries were extra. The Devonshire was creamy and my girlfriend loved it. The burger I had was good but not all of the cheese had melted. The fries were crispy. But I couldn't use the off-brand food service brand ketchup. How many Pennie's are you trying to save by not offering Heinz ketchup in the home of Heinz? Minus one star for the ketchup faux pas. The waiter was polite but never checked on us when the entree was served to see if it was okay. It's a good place for a beer bar food. read more

How did we end up stumbling into one of the best meals I've ever had? Seriously?! After a long walk through Oakland followed by a trip to Phipps, we were ready for some FOOD! I pulled up my trusty Yelp app and saw this was one of the closest to our location. Thank you, Yelp. It's a cute place right on South Craig. Parking there can be a nightmare but that's the only negative. We were seated immediately, greeted by our waiter within a minute, and started to peruse our menus. I saw Turkey Devonshire was listed as being on a Food Network show so I decided to order it. I was not disappointed. As you can see from the picture, it looks delicious and tastes just as great. I ate half and the leftovers were just as tasty the next day. The prices were reasonable (there's even an ice cream with brownie dessert for only $2.50!) I think this will be one of my new go-to spots! read more
