American Cupcake Restaurant

American Cupcake is a restaurant and "carnival lounge" creating fantastical twists on comfort food classics. AC brings an imaginative style to Union Street, with an inventive food menu and Willy Wonka-meets-Space Odyssey interior. Think white patent leather banquettes, color-changing "gumball lights" spanning the ceiling, fried chicken and Lone Star beer.
Lunch, dinner, dessert, and "candy cocktails" are served all day and until midnight on weekends. Brunch now served on weekends! Try AC's most famous dish, Red Velvet Fried Chicken, or newer creations such as Candy Apple Ribs, Pink Popcorn Shrimp, and the ultimate Lobster Roll. Sip from an eclectic craft beer and wine list, "cupcake flights" (3 mini cupcakes paired with 3 tastes of wine or beer), boozy milkshakes, and seasonally infused libations featuring everything from edible flowers to Pop Rocks.
American Cupcake is also a sweet spot for private parties and celebrations of all kinds!
