liberty union bar and grill

give me liberty or give me.... i've been to liberty union several times. i want to like lu, many positive features; including, great bar staff, great beer, good entertainment, always open. but, many negatives; food is not so good, table service is spotty and it is very loud.
conceptually lu is a great "idea", truly regional american food, however, the kitchen is not capable of carrying off the concept or even the basics! there is a running joke that if you endeavor to order aburgerr or mr the wait staff wishes you "good luck"?
they are constantly "tweaking" the concept and i hope they eventually dial it in!
until then enjoy a great cocktail or beer and eat somewhere else....

great veggieburgerso i can have an amazing cream puff for dessert!. i am not one for veggie burgers but a friend told me to try it and i was so happy i did ! boy it tasted good ! i would say it was as good as a beef burger!! very very tasty! the warm caramel cream puff for dessert was amazing! the new menu items are much healthier and the new chef is doing a great job! we love to frequent locally owned places. this is a keeper.

great bar, beer, burgers. my husband and i have visited liberty union almost weekly. we love having a local place to go and the menu has a variety of options. the state of the week specials have been great. my usual order is a burger- always delicious! the salads are a great choice too if i want to go healthy and they are huge! the texas caviar is our favorite appetizer. we have noticed bigger portions from when they first opened and service is better now that they have been open for a few months. it's nice to give the local guys business , we will be going back often!

amazing.. this place is awesome. first of all, they spared no expense in remodeling an old blockbuster video rental building into one of the classier restaurants i've been in. old americana like gumball machines and rodeo signs, on top of tasteful colors; real-wood beadboard on the walls; swanky bathrooms and metal, nautical-style lamps everywhere - just classy. and their bar area? awesome! big, long bar and open space behind it. an impressive list of craft brews and a featured state of the week with a $3.50 beer selection makes this a place to come back to every week.
when it comes to the food, there's not a more creative approach. each item is themed by a regional classic in the u.s., and the chef does them right, from a chicago hot beef to maine lobster bisque. the food was amazing. the libertyburgeris my favorite, with a fresh fried egg on top. their menu even notes that "of course, the egg is over-easy" - unlike otherburgerjoints that offer the egg topper, but miss the point and fry it hard. this oozes out over yourburgerand if there's enough yolk left, you can mop it up with hearty steak fries or old-school tater tots (but even better than your school cafeteria made them). thank you, liberty, for doing it right!

great all around. we've eaten at liberty several times with family and friends. the wait staff has been fantastic and attentive. never had to wait for anything!

atmosphere is spectacular - very comfortable and inviting. we spent 3 hours just hanging out last friday night with friends after dinner.

the food has always been top notch. the build your ownburgeris great. my wife and i love the brioche roll with avacado and sauteed onions with swiss cheese. amazing! and the lobster bisque - wow!

my kids love the fried pickles and soft pretzles with butter for appetizer. mac and cheese is individually prepared and the best we've had.

exactly what this area needed - and so unlike the typical chains and pizza places all around. treat yourself to a great night out.

good experience. just had a great meal. i chose the heartlandburgerwhich was medium well the way i like it . the tumbleweed onions were a great topper along with the mushrooms. my wife ordered the grilled reuben also very good. our service was on spot. the decor is tastefully done americana.

stick to drinks. i've had two meals at his place and both were disappointing.
fried pickles- best thing i've had but the pickles get soggy unlike other places i've had them
burgers- overcooked and dry. i had the libertyburgerwith bacon, am cheese and a fired egg. i order it medium but theburgerwas well and the egg was overcooked. wife orderd a bacon cheese but just got an overcooked cheese burger.
fires- cold, soggy and overly salty
mac & cheese- watery, bland and tasted like velveeta was used
chicken fried steak- steak was small, too thick and the sage & sausage gravy was bland and lacked sage or sausage.
value- this place is way overpriced. there are much better places that are a better value in the area.
overall- as close as i am to this place i won't be going back anytime soon.
