The Union Inverell

I've been to The Union twice in the last month. The first visit was for morning tea with a group of 16. There are two rooms out the back that they use for groups. We had the furthest back room & were given the air conditioner remote so we could control the room temp, a nice touch. The food, coffee & service was excellent. We were all impressed that each person received their drink & food together. Something that I think should always happen, but we have found that each person's food & drink often come at different times. Sometimes the gap between each person receiving their food & drink is so large that the person has finished the item they received first before receiving the second item. Even though we and a fairly big group, we were all served in a reasonable time. Everyone was happy with their food. I had the union classic roll with added cheese & hash brown. It's the best I have ever had. We all enjoyed the fact that the coffee was stronger than what a lot of other cafes serve. My second visit with my brother for a Sunday lunch. I had the scotch fillet & my brother had the flame grilled chicken breast fillet. The steak was perfectly cooked & tender. I don't know what it was flavoured with, but it was delicious! The vegetables were nicely seasoned & the carrots were honeyed. The mash was very nice & the mushroom sauce was great. I tried a bit of chicken & it had a nice flavour as well. Both of us really enjoyed our meals. My brother tried some of my steak & thought it was better than his chicken. Overall a really great meal & we will certainly be back.

What a relaxing Saturday morning breakfast at The Union. It was less crowded than other places I'd checked out earlier, so suited me perfectly. Nishita helped me choose from the menu and sat me quickly. Coffee was not far behind and the food also came out swiftly. Table service was excellent with at least 3 staff assisting. The eggs benedict on sourdough was delicious and not too huge a serving that I could finish it comfortably. 😋 Well priced and parking was easy. I'll definitely be back.

Absolutely outstanding service. Despite arriving just 10 minutes before closing on a public holiday, the staff kindly reopened the kitchen and served us a beautiful lunch without hesitation. They went above and beyond to cater for our large group of 6 adults and 5 kids! The food was exceptional. The ravioli I had was to die for, and the ribs, steak and bruschetta were all absolutely delicious as well. We’re so grateful and would happily return. Highly recommend!

Sunday morning breakfast.. simple menu, well presented meal & delicious food at good prices. Very quick service. Attentive staff and delicious coffee. Will definitely go again.

Sat down to a dirty table with a glass stuck on it so hard that I could lift the table slightly off the floor... and the floor had food, soggy napkins, and something oily on it. No apology when I asked for it to be cleaned. We weren't offered any table water (we had to ask), and although the waitress had come to take our order when I asked about cleaning the floor, she didn't come back to ask for our order again for several minutes. Despite only one other table being occupied (and already eating their meals) when we ordered, our food took about 25 minutes to come out. The garlic bread came out last (about five minutes after mains) and was probably the most bland I've ever tasted, but the other meals were quite nice. Every meal was given to the wrong person (just dumped on the table) because we were never asked whose was whose - a minor thing, but representative of the overall subpar service. Though they did provide extra sauce for chips without question or charge, and the staff were in the lower realm of friendly. Lastly, the overall presentation and cleanliness of the facilities left a bit to be desired. The mens' bathroom had no paper towels, the light switches and doors were absolutely filthy, and everything just looked a bit run down. Even the walls in the dining area had missing paint in various places. The background music was appropriate and classy, so that was one other positive. Overall, the price was fair for the quality of the meals, but the service and facilities were somewhat below expectations.

Lovely food. Great cocktails and nice service. Beer on tap. It's a great alternative if you want a drink but not a pub meal. Not overly busy with only 1 wait person/ bar tender. Food was delicious and plentiful. The atmosphere was relaxed and not too noisy.

Beautiful feed for dinner got the scotch fillet and pork ribs. steak cooked and served amazing and meat fell off the bone for the ribs. highly recommended feed and wide range of drinks

Visiting family in Inverell and had lunch Friday. We enjoyed it so much we had lunch on Saturday as well. Great service, food and drinks. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Didn’t take a pic but the battered prawn burger was amazing, best burger I’ve eaten in ages. 5 ⭐️

I came here last Tuesday for breakfast, and for a couple of drinks later in the afternoon. When I got there, the line was massive and we ran into a friend in line who said the wait for takeaway food was 20 minutes! Anyway, we ordered some food and sat down outside, which was great. The food came out in a decent amount of time and overall was pretty good. I had a potato rosti benedict and my fiancé had an egg dish with mushrooms and honey. His was incredible and my was pretty good, just wish the rosti was a bit thinner so it was crispier and less potato-y. Later on, we came to sit in the back of the pub and had a couple of beers. For Inverell, they have a great array of craft beer so would definitely recommend if you're not looking for the standard beers that are carried everywhere else in Inverell. Overall a good place to check out in Inverell!
