The Club At Union Square

Edit (9/13/23) I forgot to mention what the Club is all about. It's a buffet that has a rotating menu everyday so something's always different :) the food is interesting but sometimes flops because it needs more seasoning or less salt to be better. But it's pretty decent and the chefs are always doing their best to improve it so try it out and go with a bunch of friends! (OG review) Every week I always look at the menu online. I peer pressure my friends into coming here and wasting almost $13 because I think the menu sounds good. When we finally sit down to eat it, oh Lord, it's pretty bad and we could've gone somewhere else. And I'd do it again. Except not on days where they try to make Asian food because it is so bad. As an Asian person, the vegetable lo mein scared me, why was it stinky. I hope non Asian folks aren't eating this thinking that's what Asian food is like because it's really not.... my entire friend group complained about going to the club on Asian day for several days after the experience. And then I made the mistake of going again on Asian day. I didn't learn my lesson the first time. Don't be like me. It's not authentic, how could I even imagine that it would be but I don't think Asian food is hard to cook, speaking from personal experience. Anyways, I can't speak for other ethnic menu days. I usually only go for southern food or other American cuisine. The Club is good at southern food, that should not be a surprise and even a given fact. However, things that always fall short end up being the meat. It's dry and overcooked and chokes me out. Very sad, because they give such large portions. I tend to avoid it now. And maybe some would say things aren't flavorful enough. I'm being real. I still love suggesting going to the club for lunch. My friends groan about it. But it has a hold on me. Just check the menu and pray it's good and not mid. But it will somehow always be mid when half of the menu is good and half of the menu flops. I recommend it for the vibes. It's just not a 5 star or anything.

Food made in heaven, especially fried catfish 🐟

This place is pretty great. We've had numerous events here and everything always turns out awesome

What a nice surprise! $12.50 per person, a fantastic deal for lunch like that. It's a modest-sized buffet, but the food is very nicely prepared. Call them to find out the entrees of the day; we had fried fish and grilled chicken. Soup table, salad table, dessert table, drink table with tea/water/lemonade(?), and you can buy a beer at the bar off to the side if you like. Friendly and efficient staff. The dining room and bar area are very nicely decorated with high ceilings and classic decor. The only glitch was the A/C seemingly out that day, but in that big brick building, it wasn't that hot, really. I'd be there for lunch every day if it were anywhere near my office.

Fridays are Louisiana food so it's usually very good. However, last Friday there was only one dessert option and I feel like last year they regularly had more than two. It might be a fluke so I'm still sticking to my 4 stars. It's good food for decent money. Let's see if they keep it up.
