    If you're thinking about a microwedding reception with the union do it. They were so flexible, communicative and reasonably priced. We had a wonderful time would 100% recommend having any event with the union.

    We took our friends from Canada to the Clarkston Union Bar and Kitchen for lunch. The food was exceptional. I ordered the Turkey burger and vegetarian chili. Both dishes were delicious. Our friends ordered the burger and grilled cheese. I have never had a bad meal from this restaurant. My only complaint is the noise/volume can get rather high so it makes it difficult to hear, but there is outside seating. The Clarkston Union Bar & Kitchen is definitely a favourite of ours and a place we plan to come back and visit.

    It was my first time dining at Clarkston Union and what a unique atmosphere. All the old and original church pews were amazing! Our server was super friendly and efficient. I ordered the special of Fall Harvest Salad and it was delicious. My sister ordered the special of Hot Turkey Sandwich with Mashed Sweet Potatoes, which was also very tasty 😊

    As someone who has been going to the union since I was a kid. I was not impressed with the meatloaf and the pot pie. The portion size of the meatloaf was bad. Especially since my meatloaf costed 17$ for this super small portion. The pot pie was bland and nothing exciting and it costed 16$. I expected more from the Union who has made incredible food over the years. That brings me to my other point, the menu is incredibly overpriced for what they offer. Most of the sandwiches cost 15-17$ which is highway robbery. The grilled cheese costs $17!!!! Dollars! The entire menu needs to be redone. And who ever thought charging 15-17$ for a sandwich needs to rethink their business strategy. Definitely not the Union I remember.

    Great waitress! So friendly and helpful 🙂 Gave us great suggestions. I loved the windows and deco. You sit in church pews, and it has a huge bar.

    Haven't been here in roughly 12-18 months, and definitely won't be back! Used to have awesome menu and decent portions. Today I received a Reuben with exactly 3 slices of grilled, dry corned beef for $20. Turkey sandwich was also just as skimpy. Best thing about our experience was our friendly server. Would not recommend under any circumstances!!

    Very cool joint in Clarkston, and yes the Mac and cheese is as good as everyone says it is! I also loved the state fair lemonade cocktail. The friend I dined with enjoyed the pot pie and mashed potatoes as well as her pom martini. Would definitely go back!

    Crowded and loud, especially with the tvs going. But the food is amazing. The staff is top-notch. Overall great!

    Went expecting a Triple D experience. Sort of let down due to either low staffing or it being extremely busy. The waiter/bartender checked on us as minimally as I think was acceptable however I don't fault the staff, it was packed! The portion on the Lobster Mac is underwhelming, but tasted delicious. My wife got a decent Burger and I saw some decently portioned Mac there (would've ordered differently). Overall, I just felt the lack of love with my trip. Would love to give it another try one day! Beer was great.

    Clarkston Union is a place we look forward to visiting and every time we do, we are in love with it all over again. The balsamic dressing…so darn good. This visit I had Hungarian goulash over noodles and my husband had pork. Let’s just say that these plates were clean when we gave them back…obviously a bone was left but we ate it all!!

    A visit to The Union in Clarkston is not just a meal; it's an experience that engages all the senses from the moment you walk in. Set in a beautifully converted old church, the ambiance resonates with an understated charm, an effortless blend of history and contemporary touches. To start, the **Mediterranean Dip** was a revelation. Its perfect texture paired with the harmonious blend of flavors creates an appetizing introduction to what's in store. It's the kind of dish that sets the tone for the rest of the evening, and The Union certainly did not disappoint. The **Chicken Pot Pie** was a comforting symphony of flavors and textures. It was clear that meticulous care went into perfecting this dish. With a flaky crust that melted in the mouth and a hearty filling that warmed the soul, it was the epitome of comfort food taken to the next level. But the true standout of the evening was the **Meatloaf**. To describe it as 'beyond great' feels almost like an understatement. It was a masterclass in how a classic dish can be elevated to gourmet status. Every bite was a journey of flavors that was both nostalgic and refreshingly new. The staff's attentive service further enhanced the overall experience, ensuring that we were well taken care of throughout our meal. In conclusion, The Union is more than just a restaurant; it's a culinary landmark in Clarkston. The blend of exquisite dishes, an atmosphere steeped in history, and top-notch service makes it a must-visit. I eagerly anticipate my next visit to relive and uncover more culinary wonders.

    Came for brunch and it was absolutely delicious. Biscuits and gravy, french toast, breakfast burrito, pulled pork and eggs, heuvos ranchero were some of the items we ordered.

    Cool place. Excellent beer selection. Nice atmosphere and decent food. You'd expect the mac and cheese to be better with how much they oversell it, but it's oily. It's not bad, it's just not as good as they'd have you believe. My lobster mac and cheese had three slivers of lobster in it total. Entree size lobster mac and cheese is the same size as the regular mac and cheese side dish. The men's room seriously needs to be remodeled. It's old as hell and even though clean, looks nasty. Wish I had gone to Honcho again instead of here. The Union did a much better job with that place. The servers are fantastic, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu and beers.

    Love this place. It's the same year after year. Mac an cheese is the BEST! Our server Jo was terrific!

    Very cool place to eat, it is in an old church. Stained glass windows and some cushioned pews for booth seating. Food was delicious, and the owners were very kind when we sent our sandwich back. Offered to make it a few different ways instead, but we ordered some of the Mac and cheese, delicious! Hope to come by again if we are in the area.
