"By night, this Wallingford bar serves things like fried chicken, brisket, and open-faced sandwiches. By day, you’ll find all of the above, only topped with an egg or alongside a big waffle. That, plus a never-crowded woodsy space full of large booths makes Union Saloon a great last-minute option. Their braised pork cheek on grilled focaccia is only improved by a poached yolk, and if you’re more of a mix-and-match orderer, you can do no wrong with a side of crispy bacon, fried potato chunks, and the city’s best biscuit." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
