The cashier who I assume is the owner was very nice and helpful. The food was quick and came out fast! My burger was juicy and cooked perfectly!

My wife adored her Pibli chicken sandwich -- super tender and tasty (for me, I wouldn't care for it, because of the crema). My chicken Milanese had a ton of salad atop it (which I should have requested without the dressing). The Asian Union salad had way too much cabbage, but the ginger-slash-sweet-chili dressing was delicious (and I added that to my dish). Had a Port City Optimal Wit on draft also.

The union continues to amaze. For good reason they have long been McLean, most popular dining spot for families, couples, and everything in between. I ordered the union burger and it was a symphony of soft deliciously cooked medium rare beef patty, brioche style bun, and came all dressed with bacon, cheese, lettuce and condiments. A giant burger to die for with A huge serving of delectable fries, and a spear of pickle. My wife ordered the pan seared cod. Soft succulent fish cooked to perfection. The pictures don't do it justice. The ambience with lots of families and young couples from the neighborhood was completely unique and a remarkable throwback to a different era. The service from Kristi, Amir, and Esteban was as though we were sitting at home. This place is a real gem, Long may it reign!

This place is cozy. Walked in for lunch and also happen to catch happy hour. We were greeted as we walked in and catered to the entire duration. The entire staff is super friendly and that comfort alone was enough to have me coming back to support the business. Our order consisted of the calamari, a beyond burger w/fries, shrimp po boy w/side salad, an old fashioned & 2 margaritas. The calamari came w/a white sauce, maybe mayo based but I didn't try it. I'd prefer a marinara. However, they were crispy golden and still delicious. The shrimp po boy has grilled/sautéed like shrimp on a soft bun. All it needed was a remoulade sauce or a chipotle type mayo. The beyond burger was good, but my partner said the bun was larger than the burger itself. Other than that, they enjoyed their food and we both said we would return. The drinks were on point too. The margarita had more sour mix than I would like but the drinks did sneak up for a nice buzz. All in all, I'd return and I encourage others to check this place out and support them as well.

Came here today for a drink and bite to eat. It was empty when I came but the bartender and server were extremely nice and accommodating. Has a deli/ sports bar feel. Terrific music. Old Fashioned- really good! Boozy and balanced. Cobb salad - fantastic. One of the most delicious Cobb salads I've ever had. I substituted the Ranch for Blue Cheese. Perfect late lunch/early dinner spot.

I've lived in walking distance from this place for years and never been. I always saw the rave reviews and just scratched my head since I never actually saw it- until yesterday, that is. So I took my entire family and the doggoes for brunch this beautiful Sunday morning, grabbed an outdoor seat and went in to giddily make our order. The menu is pretty limited but we all found something to have and was happy with the friendly service. My heuvos rancheros was delicious. My mom enjoyed her shrimp and grits (said the grits was a bit spicy for her taste and my brother said it was one of the softest waffles he's ever had. Looks like we found a new place to stick into our weekend brunch rotation!
