Union Jack Cafe - Fish and chips are fantastic! - Cafes Near Me - Rainbow City, Alabama

My friend and I had a fantastic lunch at Union Jack Cafe and I can't say enough good things about our visit! The British-themed atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and genuinely makes you want to linger longer. We arrived on a Saturday just after 11 AM and the place was already bustling...a great sign of how much the community enjoys this spot. **Food:** - I had the Traditional Burger, no bun, and they easily accommodated my request for a lettuce wrap. The burger was beautifully cooked--crispy on the edges and juicy inside, with the extra pickles I asked for. - The House Potato Salad is hands-down my favorite side here: perfectly seasoned and generously portioned. - My friend got the Fish & Chips and raved about the crispy, perfectly-cooked fish and the addictively good house-made tartar sauce with lots of dill (pickle lovers take note!). - She enjoyed her fries and iced tea, while I loved my hot tea. They serve Twinings teas, which are my favorite. My only wish was for a classic teacup and saucer (rather than a Styrofoam cup) to complete the authentic British feel. **Service and Experience:** - Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, from accommodating special orders to promptly bringing refills on drinks and providing extra sauces with a smile. - We placed our order at the counter and our food arrived at our table piping hot and fresh, never left sitting in a window. - Although the restaurant was busy, we never felt rushed and were encouraged to sit and chat as long as we liked, which felt very authentically British. **Menu Variety:** - Union Jack has something for everyone: a wide range of burgers (like Black & Blue with blue cheese, Mushroom Swiss, Breakfast, and more), as well as sandwiches such as club and chicken, lots of fresh salads, breakfast items, baked muffins and scones, plus daily specials. - They offer both indoor and shaded outdoor seating--a lovely bonus on pleasant days. **Atmosphere:** - The location in Rainbow Plaza offers plenty of parking and the eatery is spotlessly clean inside. The warm, small-town vibe and British decor make this a cozy place to catch up with a friend or enjoy a leisurely meal. **Insider Tips:** - Try the potato salad and the fish & chips--they're local favorites for good reason. - Don't be shy about customizing your order; the staff handles special requests graciously. - If you go on a nice day, consider the shady outdoor tables for a true cafe experience. Union Jack Cafe is a true neighborhood gem with consistently delicious food, generous hospitality, and a community-focused spirit that's worth supporting. Highly recommended for anyone in Rainbow City or passing through. I'll absolutely be returning often, and encouraging everyone I know to do the same! read more

Would love to leave a glowing report but BLT appears to have been leftover from yesterday. Will chalk it up to them being extremely busy. Disappointing based on other reviews. read more

Met a friend here and I ordered their Cuban sandwich and fruit. I asked if the recommended it and the lady told me it was wonderful as it was fresh pork on it. She was right! Delicious and fresh on ciabatta. Fruit was fresh also. I will go back! read more

We have eaten here a few times and I have never had an issue. Food was ok. This visit, I was served bacon that appeared a few days old and hard as a rock and the French toast and bacon were cold as ice. The grease had congealed on the bacon. It was disgusting. I will not be back. read more

Best breakfast in town! Can't beat the atmosphere or the staff! Simon & Paige are the best!!

The place is off in a corner in a shopping center, but don't let this keep you away! The place is so good and very nice on the inside! The service is excellent and friendly! Lots of different coffees to choose from and the menu has something for everyone. My husband and I split an omelette and they split it for us in the kitchen!!! read more

Absolutely amazing! The food was divine, the service was just perfect and the Ambiance was that of a small town vibe. We were there for the transition from Breakfast to lunch and the crowd was arriving. Dog friendly was the best part actually. read more

This is the Burger Man with the Best Burgers in America Association, and I was invited to score a burger for them. It's a good, Wholesome Burger. The patty is fresh, hand-patted, never frozen, and the toppings are fresh. Great Job! Awesome Staff. The owners were very friendly, and they took pride in their restaurant. It is a cozy place to hang out and enjoy great food. read more

I have never had a bad meal here. Never. Union Jacks is the kind of place you look for your whole life! You know that when you come in that you're going to enjoy what you eat! And really, isn't that why we go out to eat? I don't want to guess what I'm ordering might be good. I know it will be here! This visit was the first time I ever ordered a latte but it won't be the last! It was so good! The family and friends that run this place will do everything to make sure you have a great experience! And that's what their food is, an experience. From the salads,(which are so fresh and delicious!) to the incredible desserts this place will not disappoint you. Try a latte and a scone! Cheerio! read more

I ordered the "special" because several people in the ordering line were raving about it. The special on this day was potato soup. The bowl was hearty and thick. It was served piping hot, and served in a ceramic bowl that kept it warm. The soup tasted great! It is served with half grilled cheese sandwich. read more

Went for the first time last week and was not disappointed. You definitely get your money's worth and my club sandwich was so fresh!

Clean, friendly staff. This was my first time. I tried the special which was a turkey wrap with avacado and bacon. The wrap was grilled and served warm and delicious. Choice of sides were potato salad, chips, or fries. The fries were cooked perfectly and were delicious as well. Their sweet tea is very good and not too sweet. I will be back for sure. read more

We came here for lunch one day. Prior to our visit we got online and checked out the menu so we would have an idea what we were after once we arrived. Online access was easy and the menu had all of the options that were available. Once we arrived we proceeded following the covid19 social distancing guidelines until we got to the counter and were able to place our order. The gentleman that took our order was really nice and let me customize my order the Mediterranean Melt: Sun dried tomatoes, garlic, onions, red peppers, combined with black olives, lemon zest, mediterranean spices, and feta cheese on a panini roll and grilled to perfection. The addition - I added grilled chicken to the mix ----- Made it perfect! Great sandwich! Kind of funny when he delivered it to our table he commented that it looked really good and they may have to add it to the menu. Really the only reason for a deduct in the rating, our food did take a long time to come out and several people that came in after us were served before us. Not sure if the order got lost for a bit or what, but really other than that it was a great experience. Also, price point wise, we were out the door for under $30 including drinks and sides for our two sandwiches. Very reasonable! read more

Love their coffee selections. My fave: Betty Paige. Burgers and sandwiches are marvelous! Never disappoints! read more

Stopped off on our way through town and was pleasantly surprised at the friendly atmosphere and good food. To the triggered individual who previously posted about the staff not wearing a mask and saying that the food wasn't worth dying for, I hope you made it home ok because you had a higher chance of getting killed in a car crash than from a virus with a 99.97% survival rate. read more

The guy fixing coffee and serving this past Saturday morning was not wearing a mask. When I asked him about it, he said "oh I just can't wear a mask". So keep that in mind. Also the food was very ordinary, not what I was hoping for, certainly not worth dying for. read more

Stopped by for coffee as we're trekking across country. Ended up also getting a Cuban and a chocolate chip cookie. All delicious. Also met the owner and I could tell he was a great guy by the way he talked with his customers. Lots of people getting to go orders. read more

The food, service, outdoor seating, and atmosphere is just amazing! It's like a hidden gem!

I could eat their grilled chicken wraps every single day...EVERY SINGLE DAY! The food here is so fresh and flavorful. I love that they have rotating lunch specials. And they have the BEST coffee bar in town...without question. The owner is so kind and the staff is always attentive. I appreciate their cleanliness and attention to detail. This place is a gem in our community!! read more

This place has amazing food!! I got the french toast & bacon. I plan to come back to try more things off the menu. Great service!!

Update: I gave it a second try, for breakfast this time. I have a bangers, egg, and cheese on a croissant. The "bangers" was conecuh sausage. It was a pretty good sandwich. However, it was very expensive for a breakfast sandwich and didn't come with any sides or anything. For just the sandwich and a cup of regular coffee, I paid $9. Thats. Little steep for such a simple meal. It was fine but not memorable or notable. Side note: I noticed that the curry sandwich everyone talked about being so good as been taken off the menu, so don't get your hopes up. read more

Great local spot!! This is a cozy coffeehouse to get a specialty coffee or enjoy some good Southern Pecan java. It is good for breakfast lunch or dinner and they will customize and cook to suit your taste as needed. If you want something different from normal chain stuff, give this place a try. Wonderful experience read more

I am a breakfast experience kinda guy. This was no experience. Next time I will go to Waffle House. Thought this place would be unique gotta say I don't get it. Nice guys but felt like they were just earning beer money. read more

I could kick myself for having not tried this place sooner! The Curried Chicken Sandwich is Amazing! It's as if we now finally have some Indian food in this little town. I can't believe how much I love this sandwich. I am also loving that in addition to fries there are other sides, including healthy choices. I got a beautiful side salad, but could have also chosen pasta or potato salad. My companion said his Black and Blu Burger was top notch. The peach and chocolate muffins were also spectacular. I can't wait to go back and try more and more of this menu, so excited!!!! The service was also exceptional, so friendly, informative and patient with this indecisive orderer :) I am thrilled with this new addition to our neighborhood! read more

Loved this place! Awesome burgers, tukey/avocado sandwich, potato salad and the peach muffin was amazing! We will definitely be back! The atmosphere was quaint. A great sandwich/burger stop. The staff was super friendly and they have a drive-thru. read more

A hidden gem!!! I find it hard pressed to find place to get a great sandwich. I had the "Mediterranean melt," with french fries with their own seasoned salt. The fries were served hot and seasoned perfectly!! The sandwich was served nicely toasted on a tasty baguette. The melt had a nice spicy flavor!! The whole meal was awesome. Service was very friendly and accommodating. A must for all looking for more than a cardboard tasting subway sandwich!! read more
