    Perfect for Brunch or Dinner Dates. I’ve come here for brunch with friends and dinner with my partner, and it never disappoints. The brunch cocktails are fabulous, and the dinner entrees are just as impressive. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy.

    Makers Union is great for any meal. I’ve had their brunch and their dinner, and both were excellent. The ambiance is stylish yet relaxed, and the staff makes you feel right at home.

    My family and I stopped here while in town on a trip. We enjoyed the food and service! We came for brunch and loved the bottomless mimosas and the family style brunch.

    Great All-Day Spot! Makers Union is fantastic for any meal—I’ve been here for brunch and dinner, and both experiences were amazing. The food is always fresh, and the service is top-notch. The fact that it’s located on the Wharf is also a cool bonus!

    I live nearby and this is one of my favorite restaurants at the wharf. The steak and fries and makers maple old fashioned are two of my favorites. Convenient underground parking

    Stopped in for brunch. The choices were incredible. We loved the bottomless drink options. The family style food was an interesting offering, we haven’t seen anything like that anywhere else. The service was quick and attentive. Overall great experience, we are looking forward to returning soon!

    Very disappointing they were out of half of the menu. Alfredo had no flavor , spinach dip was watery and my baked potato was dryer out over cooked they tried to hid it with extra cheese. My waitress was the highlight she needs a raise !!!!

    We should have put more value on the comments we had seen previously. We live near the Wharf so we wanted to give this place a shot, but it just doesn’t cut it. This is Washington DC and there are just too many choices for a restaurant not to have good food. Andrew our server is a nice young man, but the nachos are made with fake whiz-type cheese, and the chicken and fish have very little flavor. The lamb lollipops were good though. Doubtful we come back, sorry.

    First time at this location and welcomed by our server Sharee. She was awesome. My favorite lunch dish at Makers Union is the kale Ceasar but was disappointing. The salad was soggy and the chicken tasted processed. I am writing it off as a bad day and will return. My colleague loved her chix sandwich.
