The Union Tap: Reviews & Ratings
We ordered in tonight, thought we'd try a different place and have some quesedillas. I've heard and seen Union Tap mentioned a lot, haven't tried them before. Hate those stupid cliches, a hidden gem, etc, so ill just come right out and say these were the absolute best quesedillas we've ever had, yes, for real. Plenty of food, chicken was delicious, it had caramelized onions, roasted peppers, the chicken was $3.50 extra. At $12.50 per/quesedilla, it was well worth it. Have lunch for tomorrow too! We definitely WILL order from and eat there again!
Hubs has been trying to get me here for as long as I can remember and today was the day. I am not disappointed. We came for lunch to avoid the drinking crowd. The food was well prepared and tasty. House made chips, always a bonus in my opinion. Friendly service and an enjoyable lunch.
This place is one of the better bar food establishments that I have been to in awhile.... I was tipped off to this place about 5 years ago for its food. I have to say that this was one recommendation that did not disappoint... My first visit, I remember having an incredible tasting burger, soup, and wings.... This visit, I went back to ordering wings and blackened shrimp tacos. The wings were huge and cooked just right. There were at least 8 sauces to choose from... The shrimp tacos were made in a way that should be standard for everyplace attempting to serve this dish. There were plenty of jumbo shrimp, seasoned well, and not over cooked. I can't explain just how satisfied I was with this dish. Ordering this at other places is a gamble and usually disappointing. The menu is pretty large, creative, and with something for everybody. Nice atmosphere, great and friendly bartenders, and plenty of TVs to watch. Pretty memorable spot.
I haven't tried much of the menu but what I did have was good. Drinks are cool I'm not aware of any happy hour specials or anything. My only issue is I've came on different occasions and I ordered a Jameson and Ginger and the taste was Off. Taste like instead of gingerale theu used sierra mist which isn't good
Tried The Union Tap on a Monday night. They have a 50¢ wings special from 8-11pm. Got there around 6:30 with a couple buddies. Ordered some craft beers & the Pig Mac. I heard the pig mac won the people's choice so I had to try it. Beers were average price for crafts. $5-$8. They had bud light on special for $2.50. Bartenders were attentive, friendly and very talkative. Knew menu well & gave good recommendations. Pig Mac was delicious. It was a bigger burger but I had no trouble finishing it. The bacon was good and BBQ sauce was really tasty. The fried Mac n cheese topping was different. A little crispy. Burger was cooked how I wanted it, medium well. Fries were good not great. My buddy's got fries with the dry rub and they seemed better than the plain ones. Tried 4 different wing sauces. Grant's Hot. Garlic Parm. Sweet & Spicy. Habanero Hell. Grant's hot was the best. Typical buffalo sauce but had nice twang to it. Not real hot though. Wasn't a big fan of the garlic. Sweet & spicy was good. Habanero didn't seem that hot at first but it creeps up on you. My friend said his lips were burning. They were hot but not overly painful. Only issue the ice ledge was melted due to the heat wave. I didn't use the bathroom but my buddy said it was clean & he loved the smell of the soap. I will definitely return soon as I'm local to the neighborhood.
This place is around the corner from me, so we decided to go Thanksgiving eve, with another couple. We got there around 7. They were still kind of empty considering most people got out of work early. We were able to get a nice big table in the back. They did have draft beer specials that night, but I stuck to my "captain and diet" they were some pretty strong drinks! I'm not complaining The food was average, we split fries, pizza & mac n cheese. They also have various sandwiches and burgers. By 9pm the younger kids ( just turned 21 ) crowd came in and we decided to go. Just because it was really crowded. They do quizzo on Thursday nights, but beware there is a team that brings the quizzo trophy they won. They take it very seriously. If you're like me I do just for fun not necessarily to win.
