    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Union Kitchen & Tap in Encinitas is one of our favorite places! The American food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is fun, lively, and welcoming. Whenever we have visitors from out of town, this is one of the places we love to take them. Great food, great ambiance, and a wonderful Encinitas experience. Definitely a favorite! ❤️

    Probably the worst steak frites I have ever had. No seasoning what’s so ever for the whole dish. Temperature wrong. Go to taco stand next door and get carne asada tacos for 4$ each. You will be better off. Cmon kitchen. Put your batteries in. Good beer though. Can’t mess that up.

    Atmosphere, seems like it would be nice, however, shows them open till 11, but the kitchen closes before 8:30 so I was unable to try the food.

    The family was in town for a local soccer tournament: Manchester City Cup. I recommend you read the menu carefully before ordering. The food is very good and the kids and adults enjoyed creative drinks. The staff were friendly and attentive.

    Union Kitchen & Tap Review: Encinitas Vibe & Eats Union Kitchen & Tap in Encinitas hits that sweet spot between a lively neighborhood hangout and a top-tier coastal gastropub. Located right on Coast Highway 101, this spot effortlessly captures the laid-back yet vibrant energy of North County San Diego. Walking up to Union, you are immediately greeted by a stellar outdoor patio shaded by bright umbrellas and warmed by sleek patio heaters, making it prime real estate for people-watching along the strip. Step inside, and the interior is an industrial-chic dream: exposed corrugated metal walls, rustic wood accents, vaulted ceilings with skylights, and a massive wraparound wooden bar. Large garage-style open-air windows blur the line between indoor and outdoor dining, letting in the cool ocean breeze. It is loud, energetic, and social, packed with locals, sports fans catching a game on the multiple flatscreens, and visitors soaking in the casual beach-town ambiance. Union’s menu leans heavily into "American fare" with a creative, upscale twist spanning share plates, burgers, flatbreads, and comfort-food favorites. The Union Burger is an absolute heavyweight contender featuring a Brandt beef patty, aged white cheddar, organic butter lettuce, heirloom tomato, house burger sauce, and house pickles on a brioche bun. It comes with a side of house-seasoned fries that are perfectly golden and crisp. Their Strawberry Salad was arefreshing and vibrant contrast, loaded with local strawberries, chopped baby spinach, marcona almonds, feta cheese, shallots, and a honey mustard vinaigrette. They also serve up hearty items like Union Gumbo, Shrimp & Grits, and an extensive craft cocktail and local beer list featuring regional favorites on tap. Final Verdict Whether you are grabbing a post-surf craft beer on the patio, meeting friends for weekend brunch, or diving into a gourmet burger while watching the game, Union Kitchen & Tap delivers across the board. The service is friendly, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is pure Encinitas.
