The Union Grill: PULLS ON MY HEARTSTRINGS<3.
The Union Grill has quality food that not only tastes amazing, but comes in more than generous portions. Everything is made fresh daily and from the freshest ingriedients. Their Pot Roast is out of
this world and definately hits the spot considering its slow cooked for hours in a wine sauce, and they recently brought back their Crab Cakes, which are so delicious they practically melt in your mouth!
I know numerous people have complained of the constant menu changes but thats is what makes this place so exciting- there is always something new and delicious to try! Besides, if you have an old time favorite dish, I'm sure that if you suggested it to the staff they would be happy to try to put it back on the menu temporarily ( the staff is excellent-very friendly and customer oriented). Oh, and the fountain drinks or Iced Tea may possibly be $2.50....but did anyone see the size of them? It's like having three fountain drinks in one- Definately worth the price!
The Carnegie Museum and college campuses are also just down the street- very convienent for anyone interested in eating amazing food after a trip to the museum or a hungry college student. They also have child friendly meals that are just as taste bud worthy as the adult dishes...all you have to do is ask!…
Very good food, nice and cozy.
I'm CMU student and my bf and I have been eating there very frequently for over one year. They have decent price with great food. Waiters are friendly also. Here, what I like abt Union Grill
.Their soups are fabulous (wedding soup and potato soup are my fav)
.Pittsburgh salad (salad u can eat is your main course . huge n delicious) around and price is around $13
.Five hour pot (I forgot the exact name)
.NY steak (my bf like it but they are expensive $25 at least)
.Philli Cheese Steak around $10 (I prefer authentic one not pgh cheese steak)
That's all. hope it helps.…
A Class Act in the Heart of a College Town. When I was a graduate student at CMU 5 years ago, I was introduced to this establishment. After my very first visit, I was absolutely hooked, frequenting this place at least once weekly. Sure, the menu has undergone frequent updates, but these updates only serve to improve upon the quality/diversity of the previous menu. The Union Grill has become an indispensable institution to Oakland. The crowd is diverse, and sophisticated, however, that doesn't make it the perfect spot for a family dinner! I highly recommend this restaurant to family and friends, alike. If you've never been, do yourself a huge favor, and stop in sometime !…
Oh how I love you!!. New and wonderful menu items!! Thank you Union Grill!! Pot-roast is to die for!! Telling all my friends!! Also, what a wonderful grilled cheese (loved it!!~~) I will be back!! Everyone needs to go there now! Best restaurant in Oakland!!!…
Can we give this place a break.... I feel bad for the union grill..everyone is always giving it such a bad rep..I am a student who has been going to the union grill since I was a freshman, and I am now a senior. It has changed a little bit, but I don't think it's for the better or worst. I think change is essential. The union grill is a very busy restaurant, with great food and great drinks. They have always had big portions, which for me, I love because as a student I am broke alot of the time. That's one of the many reasons why us students flock there so often. I have never had a bad experience there, and this is coming from someone who eats there once a week, at least. I bring my family when they are in town, and they are always pleased. I am in marketing, and I can say that it doesn't seem like a bad idea to change things around, you want to stay on top. I do miss alot of the old menu items, and I would love to see them back, or at least some additions to the menu that they have. It's pretty uninteresting, but delicious, none the less...…
