The folks at the Union Hotel are so nice that I actually feel bad giving the place two stars, but the reality is I give two stars to places that "weren't bad, but weren't good so we won't be back" and that describes this place perfectly. Every time I tell someone I live in Port Deposit, they usual respond with "oh I love that little hotel place by the river" to which I always have to respond "we never go, the bikers are kind of intimidating." Had to remedy that. The good: the homemade bread was tasty, the burger was phenomenal (thick and juicy patty on a nice fresh crusty roll) and the chef had enough sense to send the kids meal out first thing. Oh, and the salad was cold and the ranch dressing was my favorite. The staff was pleasant and service was good. The okay: the 1800s thing they got going on is a-ok. The bad: the honey butter and raspberry butter? Not a fan. The pay per soda thing? Not a fan. The crab dip? NOT a fan. Small portion for the price, over seasoned, no crab in sight and served with crackers from a box. Bleh. Most disappointing of the evening was the prime rib everyone else seems to rave about. The au jus it was swimming in had an off-putting spice flavor to it - almost cinnamon-y. It was so tough I couldn't cut the damn thing with a SERRATED STEAK KNIFE. And perhaps most offensive of all - it lacked the true buttery flavor of prime rib and came with a price tag that puts most Michelin starred restaurants to shame. I ate about an eighth of it, and boxed the rest up so I could come home and try and Heinz 57 the cinnamon away. Overall the experience was nice and the folks were so hospitable I wish I could have left yearning to go back, but the price we paid for dinner for two (and a half) without booze was asinine. Will be passing in the future but hey - at least I can say I braved the bikers!

I Went there with our women's motorcycle riding group. It took us about 2 hrs to get there using back roads from mount Airy MD. It was very crowded on Sunday. The music was good to hear. We went to eat to the cabin which was better because of the loud music. I got the grilled chicken sandwich. It was kind of plain but it was good. My friend got these caramel apples on top of some kind of cheese. I'm not sure what it was called but she said it was good. She also got a piece of caramel cheesecake which I didn't like because it was salty. fries were very good. Our waitress was ok. But I think it took long to get our food. We though she forgot about us. The inside was cool to look at. But I guess I am a snob when it comes to places like this because Ive experience THE WEST SIDE INN in Massachusetts which is the same idea but a lot better and bigger. It was a cool place to go ride to thought.

Awesome place for a riding destination

The Union Hotel Restaurant was a pleasant surprised. The staff is really friendly and knowledgeable. The decor was adorable. Mostly primitive, with log buildings that are from the 1790's and it is apparently haunted. There is a downstairs dining area, two smaller dining areas to the left and private dining. And a smaller dining area to the right. The staff wears period clothing. The food was delish. I ordered the broiled crab cake with mashed potatoes and collard greens. Collard greens can rub me the wrong way sometimes, but I dipped them in my mashed and they were so good! Crab cake was REAL crab and no fillers. The wife had beef tips, mashed potatoes and collard greens. I also had a cup of coffee, which was hot and tasted good. The Union Hotel was a really good experience.

We came here on a Tuesday night in early December after finding out Prost was closed on Tuesdays. I had heard of it before when I had asked a friend of mine of some good places to get steak in Maryland since we moved to the area from New Jersey. We had always intended to come because my husband and his father are into American history and being this place is considered to be a cherished relic, I was excited we finally had the opportunity to try it out. The restaurant is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. If you don't know to look for it, you may never see it. It was dark and rainy when we went, making it barely visible from the road. When we drove up to it, we had no idea if they were even open, but made our way to the door. We were greeted by a young server dressed up in 1700s garb - which I thought was great, until she started talking. She was friendly, but complained a lot about how quiet it was - unprofessional. We loved the decor and the tables, which seemed to be hand made. The first thing that was brought out was fresh baked bread and some delish butter - I thought it was decent. I ordered the filet mignon and french onion soup to start. I wanted to order their rib-eye, but they were all out. The meal came with a salad. The salad was still very wet when it was served so the dressing didn't stick to it. Basically it just tasted like I was eating lettuce - nothing special. The soup came in this little, narrow cup so it was hard to eat BUT it was some of THE BEST french onion soup I had ever had. My husband ordered the Maryland crab soup and he thought it was VERY good - not overly seasoned with old bay. When my steak came out, the first thing I noticed is that it was NOT a filet mignon. It was a bigger cut but we weren't sure what cut it was, exactly. It was over cooked (this cut of steak should only be served between rare and medium rare) and very dry - more like a medium well cook. It was not tender in the least bit and was difficult to eat. The shrimp that I had ordered to come with it was also over cooked and did not seem to be fresh. My husband ordered the pork scallopini and he said it seemed as though the meal had been frozen before it came out. Dinner was served with a side of very soggy green beans that did not look appealing to eat. The atmosphere was very cute and cozy, in my opinion, and I feel the place has much potential for a historical restaurant - but the service and quality of our main course has made me second guess coming back. I wonder if we were there on a off night? I would consider trying again on the weekend to see if it is any better, but I'm just not sure it would be worth it.

The union hotel is a great place to go!!! They've got really good food, the setting is in this old style country type of place!! And there's a band that plays there two times outta the month!! For sure a great spot!!!

The crab cakes were really outstanding. It's a neat place that also has frog legs on the menu! Only thing is they were kind of bland. I had the Queen prime rib and it was okay and super thick but not the tastiest. The crab cake topper was awesome! Kind of pricey and a mid rating so if we go back it will be for something different.

The service was garbage. Two female bartenders were completely detached from the reality of a busy crowd, BS'ing on their phones, playing with their hair then touching glasses to serve to the restless patrons. they sucked. I only specified that they were women in the hope that the owner or manager reads this and can identify who his hot garbage employees may be. at least make believe you give a damn. a good bartender will at least acknowledge you and ask you to wait. and most patrons know when a place is slammed with customers. the two stains behind the bar didn't care because the place wasn't crowded and they were talking to one another most of the time. no way in hell I ever go back here or recommend it to anyone.

I love this place! The building is Civil War home with all the ambiance. I booked my daughter's 21st birthday dinner and was able to have a private room for our small celebration. The staff was courteous, the food and libation were delicious! Exactly what she wanted. Recommend you make reservations!

There are two parts to this place. One is like a era themed restaurant and the other part is outside where bikers can come and have a good time, cold beer and a sandwich. On Sunday, they usually have a band outside. Lots of friendly people and the staff are pretty good also.

A must stop if I am in this area. Went up for day of eagle watching at Conowingo Dam and stopped here for lunch. Tenderloin Tips and Mushrooms was excellent. Friend had Sambuca Shrimp and Scallops and was delighted. Very well prepared dishes, good value for lunch. They go over the top with the 18th Century look and feel including the wait staff. Meh, it is not a reason I would stop as I consider the food and value and all the gingham and cute hats in the world don't make good lunch. This place make great lunch! So the kitsch is cool too. Very authentic feel.

What do you get when you cross the senior, churchgoing, red hat ladies society with a biker gang? The Union Hotel. But wait, there's more. The Union Hotel was built in 1794 during the heyday of the Susquehanna canal, back even before the railroad, and has not changed much other than electricity, running water, credit card readers and an outdoor bar where bikers congregate on the weekends. The Union Hotel Restaurant is a fine dining experience featuring a 1790's atmosphere complete with candlelight, warm hearths and food service catered by servers in colonial attire. The menu is superb, offering selections ranging from 28 oz. prime rib (King Cut) dinners to filet mignon, lobster tails, unusual pasta dishes, PLUS bear steaks, frog legs and 'gator tail (all in season). Bring your cash if you're coming to eat. This is a destination place and you WILL step back into colonial days when you enter. They also have a small rathskeller open in the basement with a small bar menu and occasional live music (small 1-2 person groups). They also have a big pole barn-type bar outside with picnic tables, pool tables and plenty of space to relax in the out of doors. Food out there consist of pit beef sammiches and other quick stop goodies. Don't worry, the biker crowd is not the Hells Angels type. If they were the old ladies would shoo them out of there. They're good folk and you can see by the surroundings that the Union Hotel is a great place to stop during a ride through the area.

The Union Hotel is one of our favorite places to eat, when it's just the two of us. The log building dates back to about 1790, and it has been fully and authentically restored. The owners live upstairs (so they say), and the downstairs dining area has the whopper-jawed floors that you would expect in a 200-plus-year-old building. Two small rooms, to your left as you enter, are available for private parties (each will serve 12-15, I'd guess). A smallish public room directly to your right has about 8 tables, the large public room further to the right probably will seat 60 folks. The staff all wear period clothing (e.g. colonial period), and are both polite and knowledgeable. But go for the food, especially the Prime Rib. It's a real 32-ounce monster (yup--that's 2 pounds), and early in the evening they have a real honest-to-god end cut! Not the regular slice that somebody sticks under the broiler, but the real thing - of which there are only two available on each roast. DELICIOUS. The Union Hotel also serves Lobster, Chesapeake Chicken (with ham and crab), a variety of Pastas, locally caught fish, and country pork chops. One of my own favorites is a salad that could double as a desert - a Baked Brie and apple slice drizzled with Caramel and served with crackers. Totally Awesome! Forget the fancy-schmancy places up the road in Chadds Ford. The Union Hotel is the real thing. Just southeast of the Conowingo Dam (Rt. 1) on Susquehanna Rd (Rt. 222).

I'll keep this "short & simple" !!! Having heard it was a haunted hotel, it peaked our interest; my wife & I stopped in for lunch. I ordered the frog legs @ $11.00, ended up being served 4 fried oysters @ $13.50....didn't really pick-up on this until the bill came. Soft drinks are NOT free re-fills, a senior discount for over 55 years old ....none of this was mentioned at time of order. Waitress was great, food was so-so, door "opening & closing" by itself did happen twice (room on right side after entering). Brownie for desert @ $6.50...wasn't told....but yes, I figured it might have been in the $4-5 range. Bottom line, too expensive for the SMALL portions given & lack of communication needs fixing And YES, there is a LARGE, OLD German Shepherd Dog wandering the restaurant as we ate !!!! Won't be giong back..............

It was a cool place to go ride to thought.
