Good casual atmosphere. Breanna was a great waitress, attentive, gave good recommendations and friendly. My husband and I shared the 10 ounce steak dinner with fries and veggies. We also shared the California salad with added blackened (cajun) chicken. I also had the matzo ball soup. The potions were quite generous. We really could have shared just the salad without added chicken and the steak dinner and that would have been enough. The salad was delicious with a good portion of avocado, tomatoes, purple onions, cheese and bacon. The chicken was cooked just right, moist and tasty. The steak was cooked just right, medium rare as we asked for. It was seasoned well and pretty tender for sirloin. Generous size steak. Fries were yummy. Breanna recommended a sundae which was just $2.25 and even though we were stuffed we shared one. It was great! Fresh still warm brownie with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream topped with whipped cream and a cherry. We both agreed the whole meal was really good. This restaurant is conveniently situated very close to the Carnegie Natural History and Art Museum. We highly recommend it for a hearty delicious meal and friendly service after a museum day or any day. read more

Had the turkey Devonshire dish they r known for!! So good! Also had the matzoh ball Soup. read more

Forgot to snap a photo of my main course (burger), but I had a great time coming here with a friend on a friday night. It was pretty packed that day, which servers told me wasn't super common, so there was a bit of a wait. We ended up getting a seat at the bar, and the bartender was very nice. The food was good and filling, and the prices I felt were fair. I enjoyed it a bunch and will likely be back! read more

Great food, very reasonable prices and good service! Super burgers!! Turkey Devonshire is excellent with fresh roasted turkey breast.

Union grill is our all time favorite little spot in Pittsburgh. No frills, great food and drinks at unbeatable prices. All their burgers are great, especially recommend the fish tacos and fish burger, always huge portions. Their fries are always hot and crispy. Though the burgers on their menu before the change end of last year were better, imo. But where else would you find happy hour drinks that go into late at night AND for under $5?!! read more

It's used to be my favorite site but not anymore. The waitress kept us waiting and let queue jumper seated before us.

Nice little neighborhood restaurant. Fast service. Outside table . Took a risk on the Pittsburgh salad and it was a surprise hit. So wrong and yet so right. I'm craving another already! The Greek dressing was great. Local beer on draft too. The Hitchhiker NEIPA was perfect. read more

Price is not too bad for a restaurant near a tourist attraction in a big city. Food is ok.

Wow I gotta say this is the place to be during happy hour. Stopped in for dinner with in laws and was astonished to see that drinks were half off, so $5 copper mugs were down to $2.50, a real deal. Food is generally a good price, and can't beat drinks. I've been happy each time I have visited, food and service are always great and ambience can be causal or more fancy depending on what you are looking for. Great stop near to CMU/Pitt. read more

I was able to make my inaugural visit to the Union Grill midweek for an event nearby. I would have loved to try a $5.00 mule but that will have to wait for my next visit. Overall the restaurant has a good vibe and layout. Different type of client with a solid mix of young and old. Venue has a little something for everyone. I had a Southwest BBQ burger with the homemade bbq chips. My burger was a little dry but good. Chips were good. Service was fair. Burger was a little slow to arrive. Overall I would definitely stop by again and try another Union Grill specialty. read more

Great service. Love the menu. Pierogis, fish sandwich, everything is always good. A tad overpriced but it's still a good meal. Never a bad experience. Place is always clean and the surroundings are comfortable. read more

Our family of five enjoyed an early supper on our way thru town. The pirogies (appetizer) were amazing. Our meals included the chicken tender dinner, the off menu beef dip special, a kids burger and the California salad with salmon. Everyone enjoyed their meals, the portions are quite large, most meals you could consider splitting. The restaurant itself was clean (including the washrooms), our server was super nice, friendly and attentive. The prices were very fair for the high food quality/portions. They also offer outdoor seating too if you're looking for that. Highly recommend! read more

This place was so good and not expensive at all! The food was delicious and such a nice size. The waitress was so sweet and so was the host. Very fancy looking place, but extremely reasonable prices. The brownie dessert was a nice finishing touch. 10/10 read more

Union Grill - Salmon melt (bread, salmon, provolone cheese) and mashed potatoes - American Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I have to give an update here, although it's a little over due. Things have changed. The food? Still great. Everything else? Not so much. They remodeled awhile back - not uncommon for them. The interior has been through a few iterations over the last decade or so. But this time it was drastic. The formerly warm, cozy atmosphere has been completely replaced with a cold, cheesy diner motif. It's just a very bright, uncomfortable space now. It looks like something Restaurant Impossible would come up with. Also, and I haven't been there in several months, but the last time we were there, they must have upgraded the HVAC because the vents were blowing like a CAT 3 hurricane. Our hair was blowing in the wind at our table and we were all freezing. Our girls had their winter coats on with the hoods up for the whole meal. We asked what was up with the AC, and the server just said "oh yeah it turns on every few minutes" and walked away. It's a huge bummer. read more

This restaurant has great food and affordable wine. I usually get a salmon salad. The salmon quality has always been excellent. The remodeling is also very nice. They serve food until 10 pm too, it's hard to find places with quality food who serve past 8 or 9pm. Service has always been great, there are a couple of people who have been working here for many years. That's usually a good sign of good ownership and management in my opinion. The only reason why I can't give this 5 stars is the music :/ It's constant clear channel pop, not a good background for sitting down for a delicious meal. read more

We came here as the lines for nearby restaurants were too long, and decided to try this place out. I got the Fish Tacos and they were not bad! However, the service was quite slow. The food also was not outstanding and I would not return. read more

Union Grill is one of the cutest bar located about a block away from The Carnegie Museum of Art. I highly recommend coming here and take advantage of their local craft beer for just $4. Seriously the most delicious craft beer ever...they have a ton of selection you can choose from that would surely satisfy your thirst. I really liked how they served a tray of fresh popcorn...they actually have this old fashioned popcorn machine right by the bar. Union Grill is fairly spacious where you can either enjoy a drink or meal at the bar comfortably or try to get a table and have a nice dinner. This place was amazing I really wish I had more time here. I was feeling a bit hungry and ordered their chicken tenders...the meat was juicy and crunchy and my meal was filling. Overall great customer services, my bartender was filled with positive energy and so bubbly. And most importantly this place was affordable. read more

I've only been here this one time, but let me tell you I have had 3 people rave to me about the food and give me suggestions as to what to order! Wish I had discovered this little gem of a place earlier in the day! I was told to get the Turkey Devonshire, I guess that's what I will be having next time It seems to get busy right around 6pm here so getting a table after that could prove to be a little wait. It seems there are many regulars and devoted clientele here. I learned that they have been open for 28 years!! And they survived COVID with a full staff with everyone from 6-28 years working here! That says a lot and I really did enjoy the ambiance here . They are closed Mon & Tues, FYI and close at 8pm on Sundays. Hope you give this place a try! I know I will certainly be back! My bartender was so sweet too. Good Vibes here read more

Service was spot on. Food was simple but hit the spot! The classic fish taco was amazing!

This is our favorite place to go in town My husband and I go here practically every night for Happy hour and dinner. We usually get either the Greek salad or the California salad with either chicken or salmon. Both are high-quality and quite large. My husband usually gets two martinis and I get a glass of wine. The service is so friendly and accommodating. We love all the waiters and waitresses here. I don't know all their names, but shout out to Laura, Chris, Robert and Drew who are terrific waiters and waitresses Even the host and hostesses are super nice You may have to wait in line but it moves quickly and you won't be sorry about the food --very tasty and good prices (esp drinks during happy hour) and very friendly service read more

I don't have a TON of 5 star reviews out there, but Union Grill really deserves it. The atmosphere is welcoming and very neighborhood-y. Our server was excellent. First, they make a great Manhattan. Second, the French onion soup is to die for. And lastly, the turkey Devonshire is everything you want a comfort meal to be. I was stuffed and had a hard time not going in for just "one more bite." I was staying in a hotel nearby and didn't have a fridge/microwave, otherwise you better believe I would have taken the leftovers back and dug in for a midnight snack. The entire menu looks to be great, so even if you don't select the winners above, definitely check this spot out! read more

Rating: 4.9 Stars As you can see from my reviews, I have been to a lot of restaurants in my life. Unfortunately, I just started photographing and reviewing food in 2018 so a lot of great restaurants and meals were missed. One of these is Union Grill. I lived in Oakland for seven years while a dental student and resident, and I ate at Union Grill regularly. Why? The answer is simple. The Classic UG Fish Taco is one of my favorite restaurant meals ever. It is the GOAT fish taco. You just cannot beat the combination of large size and amazing flavor for the price. The beer-battered cod filet--the "Union Fish"-- is always perfectly cooked. The homemade guacamole, crunchy red cabbage, grated cheddar, fire-roasted corn salsa, SPICY Sriracha sauce, and COOL lemon cilantro sauce all complement each other and the "Union Fish" perfectly to give this taco incredible flavor. I have never left even one crumb on my plate lest I miss out on another chance to savor the flavor. My mother also generously gave me part of her Salmon (Chargrilled) UG Fish Taco. This was also excellent, and I enjoyed it immensely! While home visiting family, I knew that we had to go check out Union Grill, and I am glad that I did. It is just as excellent now as it was when I left in 2018. read more

Really good experience on this return visit after 20+ years. The restaurant was jammed; but the hostess put us on the waitlist (which was near an hour, but accurate and timely). Bar was two deep, but was able to order drinks from the attentive bartender and accommodating bar customers (and it was happy hour pricing - a really great bargain on beer, wine and copper mug drinks). When seated, we were waited on promptly and efficiently by personable Dan. We had the yummy Turkey Devonshire and the tasty French Dip sandwich, which was a special. The noise level was good, even in the full restaurant. There was a really nice vibe in this restaurant; really nice job by the staff and management/ownership. read more

We had the nicest time. Best seats in the house, right on the small outdoor patio. We enjoyed being able to watch the people go by while eating some really yummy burgers. Great to watch the families moving their kids into the dorms. My burger was really tasty even though it was a little overdone. I ordered mine medium and my sister order hers rare. Hers came medium and mine came well. In both cases, we didn't say anything, we were hungry and didn't want to wait for new ones! Either way they were good and our server was really nice! read more

If I could describe this spot in one word it would be...OUTSTANDING! Anthony was our server and he was very kind and attentive! The portions here are amazing and even better with the price you pay!

If your in the mood for solid good ol American style food then this is a great place to try.

If it's possible to give negative stars I would. This is the second time with a group of 6-8 that this restaurant has struggled. Tonight's experience was truly rock bottom. We contacted the restaurant prior to our arrival due to the size of our group (per the instructions on the website). When we arrived part of our party was seated and our table had started with one server and was passed to another. We were greeted and our drink orders were taken. After the rest of our group arrived our food orders were taken and then those food orders seemed to disappear into the abyss. 35 minutes later we were informed that our order was missing and the kitchen would quickly prepare it but it was the second visit back to our table where our server just had zero clue of what we ordered in the first place. At this point, we decided it was time to throw in the towel on this meal. Union grill used to be a crowd favorite for all members of our party but sadly we will not be returning. It seems like union grill is able to accommodate a party of two and nothing more. Best of luck to those of you who attempt to have a meal there moving forward, it is highly unlikely you will ever receive it. read more

Friendly service. Server was kind and efficient when we spilled a big glass of water all over the table. Liked the matzoh ball soup. Other family members ate every bite of their burgers (including the French onion burger, which looked delicious). read more

My son found this place coming off campus at CMU, right around the corner. What a great little find. The lunch scene can be a bit busy, but its manageable. Service was excellent. Plenty of draft beers (after walking 5 miles on a college visit). My son got the burger (huge !) and I got the lunch spell (salad and sandwich) for 10 bucks. See photos. Both were excellent and I would get the very same thing again :) You won't be disappointed. If he gets accepted, I will visit again. Good luck Union Grill read more

My faves: -Matzo Ball Soup -Pittsburgh Salad -Turkey Devonshire I walk from Bloomfield to Oakland several times a week and always past Union Grill which I inevitably end up popping in for a bite. My boyfriend and I are big fans of sharing/splitting meals when we go out to eat because potions are so huge everywhere we go. This is no exception. Plus it allows us to eat without overdoing it. The food has always been good for me and the same with the service. read more

Food: a good simple burger is my comfort food and a lot of places play to the middle and make a passable burger, but the burger at Union Grill was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had. The meat was nicely charred and it was cooked exactly to the way I like it. Service: I went during the lunch hour and service was a huge home run as well. My server was super attentive. Overall a fantastic experience read more
