Came here for the first time today and it was AMAZING. It's been a while since I ate something and immediately said "wow this is really good." I didn't even feel like talking or watching whatever show I put on because I just wanted to enjoy the food. The person who came out to greet me was also really kind and was kind on the phone as well. Tips for newcomers: call early in the day and order for pickup later, check their Facebook for the current menu, if they don't pick up at the end of the day then they're done for the day. I will definitely be back to try every single one of their menu items!!

Incredibly delicious food! The hot chicken was outrageous and crispy. The warm cornbread with honey was perfect and moist! I really loved the mac and cheese also!

“That was so freaking good!” Was the statement by all. The pastry on the apple turnovers was perfection. The crispy catfish was perfect. The seafood Mac and cheese yum yum. The baked spaghetti was meaty! I wish I lived in Gainesville because I would eat here a lot.

Be ready to be amazed. I went here with my son who has been many times. It's sort of a place you have to know about. Each day the menu is on instagram and you call Chef on the phone, place your order and he tells you when to drive up. When you do, you call him again and he comes out to your car with your dinner. The food is amazing!!

I have not had a more positive experience dining in Gainesville than the one I had at Underground Kitchen. From the moment I called to order I was met with unmatched hospitality and respect. This theme continued throughout the phone call and when I went to pick up the food. Speaking of the food, I just experienced the best southern style fried chicken I think I've ever had. And no good restaurant neglects their sides, Underground Kitchen is no different. The baked mac-n-cheese and ham bone collared greens were insane and definitely gave my grandma some competition. Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking to dine locally and have an amazing meal in the process.
