Join to apply for the Line Cook role at Union Joints

Here’s to the kind of joint built to live on Main Street like it’s been here all along. Here’s to some hometown stories told in the shapes of comfort food from hometowns all over the globe: bold bites from your favorite taqueria, smokey BBQ straight from the backlot, street food with the authenticity of a Singapore alley delivered alongside the Ann Arbor train tracks.

Grandma’s recipe is right at home here: regardless of how many meters or mountains come between her place and this one.

At Union Rec, our crew brings all they know from wherever they’ve been so you can have something that takes you somewhere… right here. In the dining room. Along the bar rail. Around the fireplace. It all starts the moment the baristas click open the doors for coffee and pastries; and it continues through service when the kitchen and bar sling the kind of craft that makes us what we are.

We're like the upper bunk... where stories and snickers from fellow campers mean sleep is the last thing on your mind... and the counselors are dedicated to making sure you’re having a time of it. It’s like that: a bit throwback and a bit forward at the same time. And it’s right at home here on Main Street between the Big House and downtown in Ann Arbor.

All comfort. Always game for it.

Competitive pay and benefits including medical and supplemental insurance, on-demand pay, referral bonus, 401(k) and PTO!
