    Chicken Fingers
    Nick A.

    Amazing service, food and atmosphere. The Franks Hot chicken tenders were a fantastic starter. We got two specials and both had large portion sizes and amazing flavor. There current Wednesday dinner deal is a bottle of wine, salad and two entree specials for 49$ All of the food here is hand made and served hot.

    Pistachio martini

    They have since been redone and are now Union Square Bistro- they rebranded and reopened early March so boyfriend and I went to check it out on St Patrick's day. We walked there since he lived nearby- which is something to consider there is no dedicated parking to the place but there is on-street parking - which gets full. It was a low key vibe which was perfectly Fine- we were just getting our afternoon and celebrations started. They had some St Paddy's Day specials: I had the Pistachio martini and he had a Guinness bottle; and then we split their House Nachos. The Nachos were so delicious- I would've preferred the Jalapeños to be slightly grilled or charred- raw jalapeños doesn't sit well with me- but overall the nachos were so good. My Pistachio martini was delicious tasting and the presentation was great. (Will include pics) One bartender was very attentive, actively waiting on us and addressing us. The other was having long chatty convos with people that ?maybe appeared to be her friends. She was very nice- just walked by us at the bar multiple times without taking our order- she also wasn't in the middle of making anyone else's order either during these times. But the other bartender was efficient in all she was doing and quickly attentive. Bathrooms were immaculate. The bistro is deceptively bigger than you would think. My boyfriend asked for a water (3 times) before he got it- (from the bartender that was ignoring us). When it came it was cleared infused water with flavoring- not bad but would've / should've been told to us (what if he had an allergy to what was in the infusion?) Also- no beer list and the beers are hidden in a cooler behind the bar- hopefully they get a list created - I know they're still working on the opening kinks and smoothing things out. That being said when asked what they had for bottled beer (no draft) They had a good selection- not wide but anything from Dos Equis to Captains Daughter so plenty to choose from. Overall I would say if you're looking for a martini bar/ low key spot this is the place to go.

    Chips and Guac

    We came here as part of RI Food Fights Taco Month!! There were two free tacos allowed for the promotion and we had an option of chicken or beef. I tried both varieties and it was decent. The beef needed a little more flavor and was unfortunately dry. The chicken variety tasted a tad bit more flavorful and definitely more juicy. I'd recommend adding some of their hottest sauce to help with flavor and kick!! The staff were very pleasant and brought the food to our table quickly. We also had chips and quac, it was definitely real quac with Avocados. The tortilla chips would've been better heated and unfortunately tasted a little stale. Give this spot a try and let me know what you think :-) -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

    Autumn Daiquiri

    My husband and I came here because we had tickets for Taco MANIA 2022 through RI Foodfights. Each ticket gives us 2 tacos. He had the steak and spare rib taco and I had the beef and spare rib taco. They were flavorful, but when I was biting into the taco, everything kinda fell apart. The meat was fresh and cooked well. After we ordered, the man preparing our tacos informed us to go around and sit at the bar since we were dining in. It took a little while for the tacos to be prepared. At the bar, I had the autumn daiquiri - rum, OJ, maple syrup and ground cinnamon. It was a little too sweet, but it tasted like fall. The servers were nice and asked if we needed anything else. There is parking out front and is a great place to hangout. Since the meat was really flavorful, I would want to come back to try their burritos or burrito bowl. They also have a really cute outside seating area.

    Hot honey chicken with cornbread waffle

    NOTE: This is a new establishment under new ownership. Some previous photos and reviews are related to the previous, "Union Burrito" (which have skewed the ratings). My bestie and I came for my birthday dinner based on the solid, 5 star reviews on Google. It was a Thursday at 5:30pm and we were the first patrons. We were greeted by Teri, who provided excellent customer service during our entire meal, and owner, Monique. After letting them know we were here for my birthday, Monique brought us over shots of our choice, on the house. The restaurant under Monique's ownership is just a few months old and doing well! The place filled up by the time we left. We started with cocktails: Carousel, Summer Day, and Cedar Grove. I mentioned to Teri I thought the Carousel could be sweeter and she came over with simple syrup right away. We loved all of our drinks. As an appetizer we had parmesan fries with special sauce (mayo & hot sauce). Yummy and straight from the fryer! For dinner we ordered the Hot Honey Chicken (with cornbread waffle) and Build-Your-Own Mac-N-Cheese (with fried chicken and sweet chili sauce). EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. The best mac-n-cheese either of us ever had. The chicken was melt-in-your-mouth good. From the customer service to the food to the ambiance, we were sold. There is outdoor seating on the bike path and even though it was raining, a family with a kid in a stroller and dog pulled up just as we were leaving. I would be remiss not to add that another waitstaff, Izzy, seemed to win over customers with her charm. She stopped by a few times (seemingly flirting) and eventually asked for me to take a picture of her and my bestie. While very friendly, and it didn't take away from the excellent customer service overall, it bordered on unwelcome/uncomfortable. My bestie and I both commented on it afterward. OVERALL: Highly recommend. I even told my family about it when I got home.

    Gorgeous location! This restaurant is located right near the bike path. Cozy inside. The service was fantastic and the food was excellent. Street parking is the only difficulty!

    Honest and polite review from brother Liam.
    Samantha F.

    Rude and unwilling to take responsibility. Whilst writing a review on Google I stumbled upon another review from a disgruntled customer. He stated that the employee he spoke with was rude, and the order was wrong along with extra charges. He truthfully described his experience as any reviewer would. However, the owners response merely flipped the blame on the customer, and actually argued that he was wrong, and that the order was correct. Not only is this just bad for business (as the customer stated he had his receipt), it's just blatenly immature and inappropriate. After reading this, I noticed that i recognized him to be a former employee of mine. And i also happen to know him as one of the kindest, most genuine and polite young men amongst this generation.​

    Food/Drinks: This place has great drinks! I do feel like the drinks are definitely worth it because…read morethey are strong, and they have a lot of options for larger drinks and flights, which makes the price worth it. The food is good. I really enjoy their elote, and the chips and dips are pretty good as well. I did not take a picture, but I did order a pineapple plate that came with chicken and rice served in half of a pineapple. Honestly, it was not worth the money at all. There was barely any food, just half a pineapple I did leave that day with a bit disappointed. The food is good overall, but I have not tried anything that really stood out. I would mainly go for the drinks, guacamole, and chips. Location: This location is in Seekonk and is in a pretty secluded area with free parking. It is definitely a casual place to go with friends and family, and it also works well for a casual day out. Service: The service has always been good. I have not had any issues any of the times that I have gone.

The drinks I saw looked incredible. Highly recommend!

The complimentary chips and salsa are always night but the salsa tasted like tomato sauce. We did order queso and it was good but a bit too watery. I ordered sweet potato tacos and was very disappointed that it was filled with fries and not sweet potato. The flavor was great but the menu should reflect that it is fries. My wife got a burrito without meat and they filled it with cauliflower and broccoli which wasn't good. It didn't say that on the menu so it was again, disappointing that it came with that. Overall the service was a 5 but the food was about a 2. So disappointing because this used to be one of our favs.
