Union Jack’s Inn on the Manatawny

The food and ambience were wonderful! The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. This was our first visit and overall it was great. However they were severely understaffed for a Friday night. While our wait for a table wasn’t too bad, once we were seated and has ordered it took about 45 min to actually get our food. We were seated next to the wait station and I heard the staff talking about how some tables were left waiting extremely long and that they felt bad but there was nothing they could do. For such a nice, large establishment you would think they could staff adequately on one of the busiest nights of the week. We would definitely come again, but probably on a week night or for lunch.

Great Beer and good Bar Food Music and hanging out on the lawn on a Warm Evening reminder cash only make a reservation a must

Listen I don’t know what these other people are complaining about but this is place is freaking awesome. Friendly wait staff, phenomenal beer selection and killer wings! Don’t bring your dog to this place because that’s not what the field is for, it’s meant for people to dance on during their venues not for your 13 lb schnauzer to do its business on. Honestly if you are one of those people stay home with your dog. This place rocks guys, keep up the good work!!! Oh and this place is cash only because who like paying taxes anyways?

I wrote this review on their page close to two years ago. I’m reposting here today because this place has gone even farther downhill. We foolishly gave them another chance. After our latest bad experience, we will not be back. The service is the worst I have ever experienced and I am not hard to please. It’s a shame because we loved the setting. Especially during the spring and summer months.
Original review:
We have been here many times, have brought a lot of friends, and spent a lot of money here. Today we were running errands and, since we had not eaten, thought we stop by to enjoy a good beer and split a wrap. We checked the website just to be sure of the hours. The website stated they were open from 11:00am –2:00am. We pulled in around 10:56 and waited in the car. A few employees were also waiting outside. The owner/​manager/​whoever pulled up around 11:02. We got out of the car and said hello. We were greeted with a hello grumbled back to us. As we approached the door this guy says, «we open at 11:30. It is Sunday so we open more like at 11:30» and shut the door behind him!!! Really? All he had to say was «Hey, we are running a little late. Here, sit down, what can I get you to drink?» We would have been totally cool with that. We headed into The Bridge Inn in Pleasantville where we had great service and were treated like family. I’m so disappointed in Union Jacks, formerly one of my favorite places.

VERY PET UNFRIENDLY!!!
Inconsiderate hosts from the get-​go. I arrived over the summer with my 13 lb. dog and my friend and I just wanted to chill in the large grassy area and have a beer while sitting at a picnic table (no one else was out there). The jerk host totally denied us service as long as we had the dog Jerk wouldn’t even let us sit in the grass if I got our own drinks.
I’LL NEVER GO BACK!!!

This place is awesome. Great environment (ESPECIALLY in the Summer and nice weather) great food and great beer selection. Unique beers. The outdoor patio next to the Manatawny creek in the nice weather is very nice! Love going here, it’s well worth the trip!

Nice pub with a good selection of craft beers on tap.
Stopped in for wings and beers.
Several flavors of wings on the menu. Wings were nice sized, not the small ones some places have.
We had the Peach Chipotle and Bourbon Molasses. Very good flavor, just a little light on the sauces.
Large selection of craft beers on tap.

This place is great. The wings are delicious. The beer selection is excellent. I had the rebel burger that was absolutely incredible. My father in law had the fish and chips and enjoyed them very much. The bartender was friendly and very knowledgeable about their beers. We had a great time. Will go back soon.

We really enjoy this place. The food is consistently good and the atmosphere is laid back and friendly. Live music and outside seating are awesome in the summer. We are here at least once a month.

Dinner tonight was excellent! Wife & I shared the Burger special. Hamburger on a Bagel with Bacon, Cream Cheese and Raspberry Preserves. Sounds Strange… Tastes Great. Waitress had it cut in half when it arrived at the Table. We also ordered the App special, a Scotch Egg which there were 2. It also was very very Good! Finished with Chicken Wings which are always some of the best around. We ordered our food and it arrived within a reasonable time. Our waitress was one of the best we have ever had here. The only delay was for me checking out the beer selection. There are too many choices if there is such a thing! 5 Stars on our Anniversary Dinner.

We were there on a Saturday night with a reservation. We were seated right away and our server was friendly and got our drinks immediately.
We had a short wait for our food. Fish and chips and shrimp quesadilla were both good. Really no complaints.
Reminder — it’s cash only but there is an ATM

I’m waiting an hour and a half for chicken tenders. I’m very disappointed. These better be the best damn chicken tenders of my life.
Update: still no chicken tenders close to 2 hours in.

ALL THE YES’S!!! The wife and I stopped in here on a roadtrip and fell in love with the place. I only wish that we lived closer so I could call myself a regular. If this is your local, you are a very lucky person. We did not get to eat but were impressed by the wide selection of local and foreign craft beers as well as the friendly staff. Our bartender made us instantly feel like regulars. If I could sit out on the patio every Saturday afternoon while enjoy artistan beers, I’d be a happy happy person.

The server Amber was initially great, the crab dip was underwhelming, decent flavor, but it lacked of any substantial crab. My sausage and bangers was tasty but the sausage was over-​cooked, the sausage was burnt, literally. The to-​go box had dried grass in it, not sure how that happened. Server got a bit defensive when I asked her to show the chef a piece of my burnt sausage. My wife enjoyed her salmon sandwich but the fries were limp and over-​cooked.

Don’t get it? Staff is miserable and even a little awkward, but hey if that’s what the owners were going for, well then you knocked it out of the park. I will say they have a great beer selection, but don’t go buy the price that is listed (guessing outdated beer list), because it will probably be $.50 more. We ordered two sandwiches, one was the special «beef tips» it was roast beef. I had the halik burger, which was awesome. Lastly, cash only. Come on. I go to social clubs that even take credit cards now. In the end, I wouldn’t rush to or stop in this place for a long time.

The shrimp po boy was pretty damn good but the sweet potato fries were average. A little undercooked and lacking of crispness. My wife had a salmon, Apple & walnut salad with that she asked to have put on baby spinach instead of field greens (and they did). She loved it. Overall? Food was VERY good. Service was OK. Atmosphere outside was nice but I would have preferred to eat indoors. Cash only is a bit of a letdown but the onsite ATM helped.

Just went there tonight for the first time on a recommendation. The beer selection is EXCELLENT! The menu and food was great! Sad to say that our evening was tainted first, when I had to ask our waitress what her name was, as she did not tell us, then average to mediocre waitress service, and finally, it was not until we were handed the bill and provided the waitress a credit card that we learned that THE PLACE ONLY EXCEPTS CASH!!! She was ‘kind enough’ to inform us at that point, that there was an ATM on the premises that we could access (albeit, this was for a fee, something that we strive to avoid at all costs!!!). Just checked Union Jack’s website, again;. nope, I don’t see anywhere where it warns prospective customers that THEY ONLY ACCEPT CASH!.. (Hey, its the 21^st century, people;. can you say, «full disclosure?!»)

How disappointing. For Mother’s Day we wanted to enjoy being outside and relaxing on the deck at Union Jacks. We called at 4:30 to make a reservation and were told they were not taking them, although we have done so in the past. At 6:30 we went and found the parking lot to be full. We were directed to park in the lot across the street — for a fee of $ 5. We were told that lot was not owned by Union Jacks and that owner was charging a fee. Although annoying, we would have done it except we saw the 2 cars immediately behind us were waived into the lot owned by Union Jack’s — and no one had left. I found the whole experience to be quite distasteful, disappointing and certainly suspect in the commitment to customers. Can’t say we, or our family members, will be returning anytime soon.

Very good beer menu, burgers, wings and fish and chips were excellent. Tasty hand cut fries. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgable. Neat atmosphere. Cash only. Atm is onsite, did not check fee amount…

My husband and I go to this place for the amazing draft beer selection. If we eat here, it’s because we have had an ample helping from the said draft beer selection. If you order anything from the menu, keep it simple… think pub grub and you won’t be too disappointed.
Great outdoor space in the warmer months.
No Credit Cards, Cash Only
