Reviews for Union Woodshop in City of the Village of Clarkston, MI

The evening started off by us calling and asking how long the wait was for a larger party, was told no wait that the resturant... was slow and half empty. We weren't even 10min away and when we got there they told us it would be over an hour and that theywere too busy. I know they don't do reservations but we were specifically looking for somewhere that didnt have an hour wait ona Wednesday night. We decided to wait since were all there anyway. Then to top it off the service sucked. We never receivedrefills on our drinks, I actually went up to the bar and asked for a couple waters and the bartender gave me a pitcher of water.Our waiter never checked on us and left the appetizer plates when he brought us our dinner plates, there was no room at thetable. We pretty much had to tell him what we needed him to do or it didn't get done. Definitely needs more training on how towait on customers. And if you are going to charge over $3 for a fountain drink you should get at least one refill. The food wasgood as always though. Read more

First - Natalie, thank you! you are a rockstar! Thank you for saving us from the bugs outside and thank you for being so kind!... Second - the food was absolutely delicious! This is a must stop for Clarkston area and worth the drive if outside the area. Eachdish had its own unique flavors and made to order. Read more

The place has an interesting layout.   It has an only digital menu for main food.  The desert menu is by mouth only.  The... upstairs bar has drinks of its own and can not order most food.   You saw clear lines in the establishment. The main area is adarker ambience.  One of the biggest complaints with the design was that it was hot in the place. By the time I left, It wascooler outside than within the building.   It was 72 outside. Service for the most part sucked.    There were times at thebar that you were completely ignored.  If the person did not like you, he would not explain the sauces or anything. Except forthe desert, the speed of the food was slow for a restaurant. The Drink was amazing.   It was overpriced for what you got.   For the warmth within the building, I am not sure if it was worth it. For the length of time this place has been open,  Youwould think bottles of the sauces would be a better  presentation. It looked horrible.   The Korean sauce seemed interestingbut the ingredients got stuck in the nozzle so I could only taste Little.   Of the other sauces, The Raleigh and  Decatur were the best. Rest of the sauces were nothing special. I will say I never tried the hell. As for the food,  It was a hit ormiss.  For the Main dish, I tried Woodshop 101. The brisket was amazing..  The sweet potato side was great.   The chicken wassimple okay.  The roll and sweet butter was good.   The ribs were more tear instead of pulling off the bone  texture.   Theyneeded help for the sauces and had dry spots.    The collared greens had some taste.  I could never see or taste the ?bacon?anywhere. For the quality and amount of food, it was overpriced.     The Desert was decent.  It was decently priced for arestaurant . I have been to the WoodShop many years ago and remembered it..  I will say it has gone downhill.  At this timewith all the negatives, I would pass going again Read more

I?ve been going to the Woodshop for 10+ years. It?s always been a satisfying experience every visit and I look forward to coming... back each visit. I ordered the Main with Brisket, mac?n cheese, and sweet Potato mash. Just as good as my last visits. I hopeUnion restaurants continue to stay away from being ?corporatized? and continue what they are doing forever. Read more

Another great restaurant in the union family. The wings here are amazing as well as the pulled pork! And the location is so... nice, with all the other restaurants in the same little strip. Read more

Very tasty barbecue. Everything we had was good, especially the chicken. The onion rings were done perfectly. Definitely safe... room for the brownie skillet desert, and there is plenty to share. Don't try to eat it yourself after eating too much barbecue,trust me. Read more

Where it all began for the Union Joints. Legendary creations for every type of eater. Worth the stop in. I had the breakfast... special this morning. Perfect for a Fall morning. Also snagged a bit of my son's "French toast". Incredible. Located in downtownClarkston, Michigan. Read more
