“ My husband and I couldn't decide where to eat after visiting the Natural History Museum and a woman overheard us and mentioned Union Grill. We can't thank her enough - this was a great meal! The French onion broiler pan burger was amazing and my husband loved the chicken strips. The staff were friendly and attentive, despite how busy it was. ”
“ Ah, the ever so famous Turkey Devonshire. It’s apparently pretty popular at this place. Maybe even famous. That’s what made me initially interested in this spot out of all the many others in the area. So, I tried the Turkey Devonshire, chicken tenders, fries, and matzo ball soup. The soup was really quite excellent. Great quality broth. It just gives a honey feeling to it. Perfect amount of seasoning. And a big piece of matzo in the middle. Good portion and fair price. Would definitely recommend as a side or appetizer. The chicken tenders I only tried a bit of, but they were great. Crispy and reasonably flavorful. The sauces they were served with are great too. Amazing ranch and awesome creamy green sauce. Fries were pretty solid as well. Now, the supposed star of the show should have been the Devonshire, but it was just too much for me. Too creamy and not cheesy enough, in my opinion. Bread got quite soggy quickly. Not much freshness or acidity to counterbalance the cream. And the Turkey itself seemed to not be the highest quality (somewhat tough). I am a bit disappointed with it, but will say the portion is very large. All in all, nice spot. It gets somewhat popular around lunch time when I went, especially with college kids. Service was decent and food is pretty good, but their star dish was just okay. ”
“ Ate here frequently when our daughter went to CMU and it is an easy walk from campus. Came back this year for my birthday. Still one of my favorite eateries in Pittsburgh! Anthony was a fantastic server and bartender. He was attentive and eagerly made me a drink off the cuff that was fantastic! Our meals have always been delicious and we love the atmosphere! ”
