About Union Jack Cafe

On Rainbow Dr in Rainbow City, Union Jack Cafe decorates its space with Ye Olde English furnishings and signage throughout. The menu spans breakfast through lunch, with French Toast on the morning side and a Field Hand Salad, Turkey Avocado sandwich, and turkey pesto sandwich, often paired with Sweet Potato Fries, among the midday choices. Fish and chips comes with house-made tartar sauce, and a veggie spinach wrap is made with eggs, peppers, onions, mushrooms, and salsa. In total the kitchen runs 53 dishes. Dogs are welcome in the space. The cafe opens Monday through Saturday for daytime hours only and closes Sundays, and because it closes in the middle of the day, checking hours beforehand is worthwhile.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers consistently point to fresh, reliably hot food as the draw, with the fish and chips called out for house-made tartar sauce and the Field Hand Salad and turkey pesto sandwich with sweet potato fries earning particular praise. Breakfast fans mention the French toast platter and a bacon, egg, and cheddar croissant sandwich, while others single out a veggie spinach wrap with dragonfruit lemonade and the turkey avocado sandwich. Several describe the waitstaff as friendly and attentive, food arriving hot and quickly, and the quieter, casual setting as pleasant for groups and solo diners alike. A couple of reviewers note the food runs a bit pricey for the portion sizes, though they say they'd return regardless. One diner adds the place closes in the middle of the day and suggests checking hours before making the drive. Multiple first-timers say they plan to come back.

Featured reviews

  • Clint Friar
    “Great food as well as presentation. Friendly staff and the place is always clean. Feels a little pricey for the portion sizes, but as you can tell from the photos, I will still be back!”
  • Darrin Jones
    “We went for lunch today 1st time . Hamburgers were great everything tasted so fresh. Salad was delicious tasted like it was fresh from the garden. Employees were friendly and helpful.”
  • Dyaniyam
    “This place is amazing! They really have quite a bit of Ye Old English ambiance and decoration, which is cool. The food is delish, if a bit on the pricy side. They make their own tartar sauce, so you might want to try their fish and chips just for that. There isn't enough original restaurants in our area that aren't part of a chain, so this is a bit of fresh air. Worth the drive, but they close in the middle of the day, so check their hours first.”
  • Laura Walden (Realtor Laura Walden)
    “Met a few friends for lunch and had the Field Hand Salad. It was so fresh and the service was even better! I usually do The turkey pesto sandwich with sweet potato fries and decided to go for the salad option. Huge portion and absolutely delicious. Love this sweet restaurant!”
  • The Blackwoods
    “This is such a great place to eat. Tried it for the first time the other day and loved it! If you havent tried this place, YOU NEED TO!”
