I so terribly miss the cozy Speedway Union Jack's. We patronized the pub for almost 40 years and decided to visit the next best thing, Union Jack's in Broadripple. Parking was a breeze, and we walked right in and sat at a high top table in the bar. There is lots of wood in the restaurant with a rustic decor. It isn't as warm and cozy as I remember when the restaurant was across the street.
We were hungry and excited to try the food. A sign on the table said scan the QR Code for the menu, but we asked for real menus. Great selection of cold craft draft beer and full bar service with dine at the bar option. The music is at a level to have a nice conversation.
The menu offers normal pub food with lots of vegan and vegetarian options throughout the menu. The menu covers appetizers, soups, salads, burgers, wraps, and sandwiches. The house specialties offer fish and chips, bayou pasta, grilled salmon, and queso mac & cheese. The desserts sounded good.
I was excited to see Pizza from 7" personal pan to a 14" pizza. Your option of crust is traditional, thin, gluten-free, stuffed pizza pie and my favorite, Indy style deep dish.
I can't wait to return for a deep dish pizza.
My husband ordered the Italian beef sandwich with french fries and really enjoyed it.
I ordered the Cajun Chicken Club with a grilled chicken breast topped with bacon and pepper jack cheese on a grilled brioche bread. My side was a cup of navy bean soup topped with cheese. The bean soup arrived as requested before the sandwich. The soup was extremely good, with a thick topping of melted cheese. I was disappointed with the dry, overcooked chicken breast and extremely crispy bacon. I feel like the bacon is my fault because I didn't specify no crispy bacon, and many people prefer extra crispy bacon. The dry chicken breast was overcooked to the point of no moisture. I know I should have returned and asked for a do-over, but we didn't have time, so I never mentioned it to our server.
Our server was the bartender who was very friendly and personable. She checked on us often, refilled drinks, and checked us out timely.
I will definitely return with friends to share a deep dish pizza I've been craving. I wish it was more comfortable with cushy booths, but we'll pick better seating on our next trip.
