Very good food, nice and cozy

by cizium

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.

• Pros: delicious food, friendly staff.
• Cons: wait time

A Class Act in the Heart of a College Town

by TacoCope

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 !

• Pros: Cozy & friendly atmosphere, perfect service, perfect menu
• Cons: Too crowded during peak hours
