Came in today for the first time after taking a bus into town from port authority. The food was so good but the service was incredible. Brendan and Joy have great recommendations and made me feel so comfortable and welcome. Amazing staff, I will definitely be back.

Casual charming dog-friendly patio. Come hungry- the food is delicious and the portions are generous. Cappuccinos are very good.

This place is a gem! I've had the perfect medium rare cheeseburger on two different occasions. On my last visit, I had the chicken and waffles, and that was a fabulous blend of savory and sweet. The waffles were so fluffy and the chicken was juicy. The staff are kind and friendly. A cozy ambiance makes it a wonderful place to relax with good friends and great food.

We loved our experience here. We came with our dog and were seated in the outside patio. My only gripe is as an Ecuadorian-American, I LOVED to see llapingachos on the menu. It was a pleasant surprise, BUT no where in the menu did it say it was Ecuadorian which broke my heart since Ecuadorian cuisine is sooo underrated and doesn’t get enough credit as is. Underneath that, the menu item is “Turkish eggs” so why is there no mention of Ecuador? Since the location is predominantly white American, it seems like they just “took” our dish without giving proper credit. I’m sure the cooking staff introduced it, so management should do better by including where it’s from in order to celebrate the origins of the dish. I hope they update the menu accordingly. Otherwise, good place.

This week, I have gone to Underground three days in a row! The food is always exceptionally good and the staff are delightful. On Saturday, New Paltz was incredibly crowded because of parent's weekend and an apple festival; the wait was a little longer but, the food was STILL delicious and the staff were on top of everything and as cheerful and kind as can be. It's my new favorite place !

Timeline of 4 people lunch
50 minutes from being seated to get fried pickles (fresh and crispy)
1 hour to get chips and spinach dip (great dip, slightly under salted)
1 hour 20 minutes for sweet corn (ok)
1 hour 35 minutes for cesar salad (fresh and crispy)
1 hour 45 minutes for rest of the order.
Steak was bland and grainy
Rest or food was mediocre
Waitress non existent without a hint of care.
Cashier shorted me when giving change.
When confronted she threw $5.00 bill on the counter without a word of apology

Very bad experience!!! Never got waited on!!! The service in Highland is not great but at least they will get to you! Not here, waited quite some time for nothing!!! Then had the nerve to tell us to have a nice day after ignoring us!!! Will not be back to either location, get some better service going on!!! We like the food but need to get waited on, not ignored!!!

Sounds like cafe. More like bar. Customer service was good

I’ve been back several times and it’s been friendly service and a wide selection of food to choose from. I appreciate some different dishes I can’t get elsewhere, and the beer selection is on point too!

The huevos ahogados are SO good. So good, that despite the fact my waitress blatantly ignored me during my one hour stay today, refusing to even refill my water, I'll still return to have this delicious, hearty, inexpensive meal once again.
