Union Jacks

Garlic sriracha bread is so yummy! I ordered the chicken cheddar bacon and my S.O. ordered the Reuben. Service was quick and friendly. Great place to stop while passing through Burlington, found out about it through Unilocal.Next time I plan to try the fish and chips.

I love this place! We found through our trusty friends on Unilocal and we weren’t disappointed!
First off, there was a line, but it moved very quickly. I anticipate it’s a family business and they are truly from the UK by their accents. Though it was busy, no one seemed rushed when answering our questions. It felt as though they really wanted us to have something we would find delicious. My boyfriend asked, «onion rings or pickles?» When three separate men in line unanimously shouted «pickles!», we knew we were in a good, and regular driven, spot.
So he went with the staple– fish and chips. Delicious. Wonderful tartar sauce. Fries seemed like they were probably Belgian style. I had the Turkey Lurkey– essentially Thanksgiving in a panini. The meat and cheese was freshly sliced in front of us. Fried pickles– served with ranch. They were more of stackers than spears, which made them less juicy, and probably a lot easier to eat. Everything was delicious.
My favorite thing about all though– how nice everyone was! They all smiled, seemed truly happy to be helping and seemed actually excited when you told them how much you enjoyed their food. Anyone that cares that much is definitely worth the business.

Union Jacks is an unassuming little shopping center where people whip to-​and-​fro from the Post Office (seriously, y’all need to slow it down) and everything’s painted that blandish beige color from the late 80’s and early 90’s. Wait (you might be saying) isn’t this supposed to be a good review? Well, yes it is but I’m laying down the weird/sh*tty parking lot stuff and drab exterior first so you can get past that and see what a little gem this place is.
The interior is spartan — just a few drink cases, some tables and chairs, a fountain drink machine and the counter where folks work. Chalkboards hang overhead with descriptions of the items divided into sections. Little baskets sit with examples of bread and tortilla types. It’s operating room bright but it illustrates how clean the place is, for sure. This isn’t a fancy place but it’s all about the food anyway. Get it to go and eat it at home or the hotel.
I bought a 6″ veggie on Sriracha Garlic bread and a 6″ fish on wheat. I also snagged a large Orangina. My fish was fried right in front of me and was hot and plentiful on the homemade bread. Dressed it with tartar, some lettuce and some black olives. I was torn between wolfing it down and savoring every bite. It turned out I did a little of both. That wheat bread is the real deal and has some tartness to it. Yum! The partner got the veggie and it came with standard veggie fare — lettuce, tomato, cukes, olives, onions and about 3 different types of peppers. They were generous with that and the cheese (of which there is a selection of 5 – 6 choices). You can pick from chips or fries and a fountain drink to make it a meal. Chips are tiny bags with a fair-​to-​middling variety. You can also turn sandwiches or wraps into salads which I totally didn’t do. BRING ME ALL THE BREAD!
Service was really friendly and they were patient with my confusion since I was a first timer.
So, why 4 and not 5 stars? I spent $ 16 on 2 sandwiches and a drink, and while I appreciate the homemade bread and such, I don’t think the prices match the product in some cases. $ 7 for a smallish 6″ (really 5″…where did that huge bread in the pictures come from because that is NOT what I had) veggie not using good vegetable ingredients? Ehhhhh, it’s steep. Especially with a $ 3-​$ 4 combo add on (which I didn’t get). For around $ 11 I think you can get better elsewhere in that case. But I’ll be back for another fish sandwich or one of the more substantial subs STAT!

Awesome! The fish and chips took me back to my time in England. Sandwich was phenomenal (12″ Philly Roast Beef) — as big as my forearm and full of tasty goodness. These folks know what they are doing — great food, decent price, and the staff easily accommodated gluten free needs. Don’t let the exterior of the building intimidate you — it’s a hole in the wall. The kitchen floor could also use a cleaning. However, I’m impressed and will come back!

This place is a total hole-​in-​the-​wall sandwich joint that I could not recommend more. We stopped here for a quick lunch in between brewery tours and my husband and I each got a sandwich. Not only were our sandwiches both DELICIOUS but this place truly does use homemade ingredients (I had a chipotle mayo and he had a horseradish mayo that were both freshly made in house!) and the service is friendly and welcoming. I’d stop back here any day to try another really yummy sandwich!

Don’t underestimate this little spot. It was delish! Had haddock, hand cut fries & was just great. Ate at Shanty on Shore recently & what a disappointment. You won’t be disappointed here. My husband had fish fillet & the bread (many choices) was soft, fresh, flavorful. The two guys working the grind were awesome, friendly. Can hardly wait to try the wraps/​subs/​panini. Prices were very good. Everything is made to order so nice and hot, fresh, worth any wait!

Stumbled on this place while staying at a nearby hotel. Had the meatloaf sub. Very flavorful and the staff were super friendly.
If I’m in the area again I’d definitely go back.

Best sandwiches and wraps I’ve ever had. Friendliest staff in the business. Highly recommend.

Found this place because of Unilocal.Delicious meal all around — I had turkey sub with delicious honey oat bread. Hubby had fish n chips. Liked the option to go healthy or not :)

Found Union Jack through Unilocal.Nice restaurant with friendly staff. Fish and chips very good. Pastrami was very nice. Onion rings were yummy!
Will be back!

Ok how did I not know about this place for fish and onion rings. Their sandwiches are great too. It’s a small place that I have driven past numerous times but a friend highly recommended it and we ordered take out. The fish was cooked so nicely and crispy. The onion rings were perfect. Can’t wait until our next visit!

This is a great little casual joint for grabbing a nice sandwich or wrap. The bread is so fresh and soft that it makes some other sandwich shops’ bread seem stale in comparison. We had the Reuben, Turkey Lurkey, onion rings and deep fried pickles. All were well prepared and flavors were pronounced and clean. For families, this is a great placed because the kids meals are big and varied. Staff is very friendly. Seating is pretty limited but wasn’t a problem when we went.

I’ve lived down the road for quite some time and have just recently tried them out. I really liked my meal, we split two sandwiches. The staff was nice and the prices were agreeable. I’ll certainly return soon.

The guys who work here are super friendly and fun. The menu is big and filled with yummy options. I didn’t end up getting anything, (I was craving pizza) but my mom got fish and chips and it was AMAZING. I ate about half of her food with my hands in the parking lot. Very clean restaurant, solid menu, great food, and good service. All in all, great experience.

Excellent fish and chips. The cor blimey sandwich was also good had a great lunch. Friendly service we will be back.

My wife and I stopped in on the way to somewhere else — looked at Unilocal to see what was good and close and, yet again, Unilocal delivers a great place!
I had the beef & onion melt, which was an amazing sandwich. Bread was incredibly fresh, beef was perfectly done and the beer battered onion rings were perfect. Also ordered a side of the onion rings — seriously the best onion rings I’ve ever had, absolutely delicious.
My wife had the fish & chips, which she proclaimed as spectacular. I didn’t get a taste of the fish, but did the chips and they were way above average.
Not sure what other reviewers noticed about the cleanliness, but having read others’ reviews I did look. The entire place was spotlessly clean. Even the floor shined in spite of the rain/​snow/​ice mess outside.
Lots of interesting menu items, we’ll definitely return soon. A little out of the way from downtown Burlington, but worth the extra few minutes.

Randomly walked in here wanting to go to the vietnamese place next door, had no expectations and was wowed by the sandwich I got. Best hot pastrami I’ve had in years and it had fried pickles on it. Super chill and friendly dudes behind the counter and good prices. Fries could have been a little crispier but the overall experience was that we’d found a gem of a sandwich shop which are tough to find in Burlington. Gotta go back for the fish and chips.

The staff was friendly as usual. Fish and chips is still great. Onion rings were fried too long. Union Jacks still could use a cleaning. Will be back. Want to try more of their sandwiches but the fish and chips is too good

Tasty subs, panini and fish n chips… It could stand a tidying up, but everything was hot and tasty. The service was excellent and fast as was the cooking. The people were very nice too. If you are looking for an on the go restaurant or if you are in the mood for British food stop on by!
Tasty culinary adventures, y’all !!!

Inexpensive but great sandwiches. A bit better because of some added spices and menu selections. The fish and chips was better than most. The owners are fun to talk to and very accommodating. Small place
And the GPS gets you close, but not exactly there– not sure why. Worth a try if you are in the area.
