Good Union Urban BBQ

Go to location at Cityline for lunch or Happy Hour. I enjoy the salad with smoked chicken, called as Lady Bird. The smoking is super strong. Hours later when you belch it resembles a peat scotch. But it is tasty! And they use bright green leafy lettuce. They have a great beer selection. They never rush you when you are drinking after work with work mates. And the staff is top notch.

This is not our first visit here. If you are/were familiar with Bone Daddys, I believe this is the same owner and much the same recipes with a few additions and some thing not on this menu. We diners in last night. Service was ok- be advised it's counter service. And they will ask for a tip, which I know will irk some folks. I had backyard chicken. It's smaller chunks of what appears to be breast meat, drizzled in sauce. It was tender and moist. I also had Cole slaw which was very good. It came with a delicious cornbread muffin.She had 1 lb of sliced brisket and beans. Their beans are always delicious, kind of soupy, but tasty. A bit sweet I think. The brisket was super lean, hardly a speck of fat, and somewhat dry, like it had been sliced a while ago. She didn't ask for anything special- wet or dry, bark or no bark- just "sliced brisket". Since we shared the brisket, I'd say I didn't care for it as I prefer it to be more moist, even if it's not the fat part of the brisket. The place is clean, and there wasn't many customers so it was a bit quiet, which I like. I will return but if I'm ordering I'll make sure I don't get dry brisket.

Note: This review is for breakfast. I'm a huge fan of bbq, especially Texas brisket. Good Union Urban BBQ was located right to my hotel, so I was looking forward to seeing how their brisket held up to high standards. That being said, I did peep reviews about their brisket and was disheartened to find negative reviews. I saved myself the dinner experiment. The next day while walking around the CityLine Plaza, I was pleased to find that the Good Union Urban BBQ was opened very early at 7am. This was perfect, because I was looking for something savory and filling for breakfast. I stopped by the restaurant around 9am. It was a Monday morning and not particularly busy. Good Union Urban BBQ had a fun vibe. I can see this place easily being the local watering hole especially during the evening and game nights. Service was fine. A young gentleman assisted. Super helpful but maybe not a morning person. They had a small menu including a breakfast sandwich, breakfast quesadilla, and an assortment of breakfast taco. The prices on the breakfast items were such a steal. They were even cheaper than similar items that my hotel's cafe offered. Almost half the price. The prime b taco was interesting, because it included burnt ends, an opportunity to try their bbq. But for $1 extra I could get a whole breakfast quesadilla (4 pieces) with burnt ends as well. I decided to go light and ordered the prime b taco. The taco was solid, no frills. It had scrambled eggs, cheese, shaved potatoes, and marinated burnt ends. The potatoes seemed raw to me. Would've been nice if they were cooked on the grill and had crispy edges. It came with chunky salsa that reminded me of Pace, so I didn't care much for it. The taco was decently sized. I'd say that it would've been equivalent to 2 slices of the quesadilla, which was as much I would've eaten if I had gotten it. The taco left me satiated to the point I wasn't overly stuffed nor was still hungry. Honestly there wasn't much left to be desired. I was fine with what I got. Sampled a bit of the bbq, and that was that.

amazing food and quick service too, the burger and potato was fresh and the sodas even tasted good. Definitely wouldn't mind coming here again.

For a Monday, it is very lively with locals from the bar to the restaurant. It is not very big, but there is plenty of and community tables for larger parties. Small line and the bar tender pulled me over to expedite the wait.Food came out quick and it was good. Ordered the Smokehouse Sandwich Brisket. The meat was dry 3 but much better when you added the sauce. The skinny fries were great 5. The fountain drinks are Marine Root, new to me and very sweet.Parking was tricky as it is tucked in a downtown community living area. Parking maybe difficult during the day or weekends. Would recommend if looking for a good sandwich and a single meal under $20.

Service is just OK but can ignore because the food is great. I've tried both the burger and breakfast quesadilla with burnt ends. Really good. They have some weird soda brand(not coke or Pepsi products). Gross soda.

Great food - Everything we have tried here has been really good. Recommend the Burnt ends and onion rings. Order extra cornbread, it is amazing!

Since I live in the apartments nearby, this is my go to place when I don't feel like cooking lunch. I usually order the chicken; it's delicious and juicy. It comes with cornbread so that's a plus. I get 1/2 a bird so I get a few meals from it, worth the price. Beans and slaw also good. And if you want beef, the burnt ends are fantastic! Bakers also good.They lose a star because it's counter service and during lunch, it takes forever due to all the State Farm people all trying to eat at the same time. Staff is friendly but they are overwhelmed during a rush.. The trick is to order online and then sit at a table outside or in the plaza under a shade tree. I walk right up to the counter for pick up. Order from home or from your desk and it will be ready when you get there. You can also eat at the bar and skip the line; the bartender also takes walk-in to go orders but online ordering is the fastest.

The service was great we got there 20 minutes before closing time. It's one of those places where you order at the counter and they drop off your food. They also have a full bar, which is where most of the patrons were when we came in. I feel like that was my only disappointment that this place I had ordered one of their specialty drinks for the summer, the blue Hawaiian it was not good! I asked the guy working the register what he would prefer to order the chicken sandwich or the wings he said that the sandwich was good. I got that the meat was very moist and worked great on the brioche bun. I am typically not a shoe string French fries person but they were good and crispy. We ordered the banana pudding in the handheld apple pie they look good however we did not finish them as I was too full from the rest of the food. Very cute restaurant great customer service definitely worth a visit if you're in the area.

I bought a "Pig Mountain" sandwich. It was far from a mountain. More like a valley. I estimate less than an ounce of pulled pork. Seven small slices of sausage. And 1 piece of dried out bacon. What a joke. And $12 to "enjoy" such a mediocre sandwich. I won't be back.
