New United Club menus to be "announced" 4 March 2015
United Clubs to be renovated
Most domestic clubs similar version of the food offerings. Full spread at all domestic hubs, with cut-down or hybrid versions at most outstation clubs. Although from time to time some experiences occur at various UCs.
International Clubs with different catering: GUM, HKG, MEX, LHR, NRT
You can also get a food menu with ingredients list by using "food" instead of "drinks" in that url.
Menus aren't kept very up to date, though, and many are quite inaccurate. All hub menus appear to be same, but outstation ones vary.
Perhaps they've stopped updating these files now that the pandemic has "ended" (move away from prepackaged, stop emphasizing cleanplus / minimal touch points, etc.).

The sight of all those delightfully delicious cheese cubes brings a tear to my eye, a smile to my face, and mainland nostalgia for my San Rafael hometown.
Oh, how I enjoyed filling up a few blue cups with those delectable morsels to share with my two sons and add to the pleasure of my homecoming.
With my lifetime spousal United Club membership, I have visited the Rotunda Club more than any other (with the still-closed GUM club in second place), and have more than recouped my investment in dozens of pounds of sumptuous UA cheese cubes.
This photo is the epitome of the Friendly Skies!
As my beloved spouse and I celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary in less than two months, we will certainly give thanks for all those cheese cubes that have kept our marriage strong. (It doesn't hurt that she is a wonderful cook, and that I am easy to please.)

How else would we be able to complain without getting back into the clubs to snap pictures of all those "gourmet" offerings.This club is one of the newest in the system right? Like the last new one before covid hit? I definitely like their food concept, feels very AMEX Centurion lounge ish.

Didn't snap any pics, but in the IAH C South lounge last night there were salad items (including a decent quinoa/tomato/cheese blend), tomato basil soup, assorted chips, two types of sandwiches/wraps (looked the same as in the LAX/SFO photos above), cookies and brownies. No cheese cubes, for better or worse.
Centurion Lounge was better.

I searched 5 mins for the general UA vs DL thread (which I'm pretty sure exists) and can't find it anywhere. Since this relates to club comparisons -- holy crap is DL SkyClub making a mockery of UCs right now.
I'm in Atlanta at noon right now, and there must be 15-18 warm options in the Term B SkyClub. Then a separate section with grab-and-go desserts, chips, fruits. And both in EWR and ATL the screens are showing new craft cocktails for May which look awesome. This is my 7th or 8th itinerary with DL this year and I don't always get to the SkyClub, but I have a few times -- they have definitely accelerated their post-COVID return to normal since the beginning of the year. And they are leaving UCs in the dust. I visit hub UCs in EWR and ORD frequently and recently and they are in different universes.
Does UA send reps to competing carrier clubs to see what's going on? And see how stark the comparison has gotten?
