Union Bar & Grill

Hello? Does anyone work here? Horrible service. Got there at 5:40 on a Saturday, and was seated promptly. No waiter, no water, no nothing until 6pm. I joked with the waiter (Brock) that I had hoped that since we had been sitting there for 20 minutes I could still get in on Happy Hour prices. He assured me. Another 15 minutes, the drinks finally arrive. They just dropped them off and didn’t take our order. The waiter finally took the order about 45 minutes after we were seated, food took another 22 minutes. Our drinks were gone and our water empty when our cold burger and fries arrived. I asked for more water, he said he’d be right back. Ate our entire meal without anything to drink. Never saw the waiter until he dropped off our check, which of course did not reflect the happy hour prices. At this point we were running late to get to our show, so we paid cash so we wouldn’t lose our waiter for another 20 minutes.
This was my first and last time here. Good luck Union.

Big Buck Hunter? This restaurant has lost all class in its quest to profit from sports bros. The restaurant on the first floor used to be for quiet fine dining and had a lovely reserved atmosphere.

Mother’s day buffet was not inspiring. I expected more choices and fresher offerings, but it could be because there just weren’t many customers. Loud music to shout over. Service was pleasant, polite and attentive.

I made reservations for two for downstairs so we could grab some dinner before the Wanda Sykes show. They seated us at a table with bar-​height chairs instead of a normal table even though there were plenty of normal tables available. We had a couple of appetizers and dessert. The food was just ok and the service was the same. It’s super convenient if you’re seeing a show at the State Theater so I’ll probably try it again, but now I know to specify a normal table when I book a reservation.

We were in downtown on a Friday, and Union had no waiting. Now I know why. The food wasn’t horrible, but these days the bar is much higher. Union seems to be serving Olive Garden food in a downtown with a lot of better options nearby. My wife elected not to finish hers. Atmosphere is pretty much «generic sports bar.» Service was good– the product doesn’t hold up.

Overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. $ 7 for five tiny mac and cheese bites? What a rip-​off. Slow service on a Sunday evening.

Great food, awful service.
Our server, Alyson, took about 15 minutes after our party was seated to take drink orders and then another 15 after we got our drinks to take our food order.
The food came quickly and the food was delicious. All orders were made correctly and the birthday girl even had a gluten free dessert option. The kitchen staff is doing something right.
Unfortunately our table wasn’t checked on once. We were never asked if we needed another drink or refills. After we all finished our food we sat at the table for a good 30 minutes before our server came and asked if we would like our checks. With an added 20% gratuity for being a large party our server should have behaved like a real server, not just a food runner.

First time attending this restaurant, food was good. But service was not great at all. I was with a group of 10, we were attended to right away for drinks but afterwards we did nothing but wait for any acknowledgement and our checks. We tried multiple times to wave our server towards us but we were nothing but ignored. Will say, not recommending this place for next bday dinner.

Review would be much higher if service were better. Decided to stop in for lunch to try a new place. Not overly busy, but clearly not enough staff. Waited to get drinks, waited to order food, had to track down waiter for more drinks. Food was decent, but poor service quickly negates quality of food. Wanted to like it, but was disappointed. BBQ chicken flatbread was delicious!

Not a bad restaurant. The food was good. Creative menu. The service was prompt. However, I ordered a Diet Coke. They kept refilling my glass, but it wasn’t until I received the check that I realized they charged PER GLASS?! The glasses are TINY! I spent more money on Diet Cokes than my entire meal. COME ON, GUYS!
Don’t eat here unless you’re content with just water.

Our meal was pretty good. I had the pulled pork flat bread and my friend had a chicken pesto flat bread. The portion was just right for a late lunch, and not so filling that i would want to skip dinner. The «flat bread» was more like a flat, crunchy taco shell than actual bread. I was pretty happy with my meal though, until the check came. Upon receiving the check i found out that each small glass of coke was costing me $ 3 each! Really?!? $ 3 for a half a pint of coke or soda or pop, whatever you want to call it? Thats utterly ridiculous! At least when i go to the local chinese place back home each can of coke may be $ 3, but at least you get a whole can! We were there at happy hour and were literally the only ones in the restaurant, probably because of prices like these. I wont be back on my next visit to Minneapolis.

We ate at the Union on Friday evening November 6 prior to the Jim Gaffigan performance. My wife had a burger that was BURNED on the bottom. I had the Cajun chicken alfredo. The alfredo sauce was a watery pepper mixture that was awful. I ate two bites of my meal and let it sit there. The waiter came by and I brought both of these issues to his attention. He scrutinized the burger and said, «I will let the kitchen know.» He came back with our bill and that was the end of the situation. It was quite busy and we were a few minutes late for our show otherwise I would have tried to find a manager. Overall a very disappointing meal, which can be overlooked, but the response to our feedback was unacceptable.
