Some of the best food you can get in Gainesville. We are frequent flyers and always have wonderful meals! The crab cakes and yard bird are our go-to favorites!
Wow!! I am blown away by how tasty thier crab cakes were!! The seasonings were absolutely perfect and it was a great portion size. Their vegatables had great flavors as well. But the delicious ailoi is what made this meal phenomenal!! I love what they stand for as well, helping others find a trade and to learn how to cook is amazing. Keep doing what you all are doing. They were only taking curb side to go orders when we went and the chef was kind enough to bring us water as well. Such a wonderful experience!! We will be back next time we are in town ?
While passing through from Orlando to Georgia googled best soul food in Gainesville,FL and UK had a 4.9 rating. No need to say much, food was delicious, flavorful but not salty. I come from my a family of chefs and must admit this here just as good!! Excellent curbside service, $1 soft drinks and free water…my tummy is happy. Ordered their lab chop special…loved that it was loins (3 big portions), seafood Mac was soo good with generous shrimp serving. Also ordered cat fish and crab. When returning to Florida next time, UK will be on our mind. Let me know if you open a location in GA. One key thing to mention, curbside only and don’t let the look of the place fool you. Food is scrumptious!!! Well done.
I have to start with: Chef Carl is a legend!The owner also the head chef of Underground Kitchen, Carl, has the biggest passion and love for cooking, which I have tons of respect for. His food is beyond delicious, it is big portion, reasonable price, and it has unique flavor but it doesn't lose the taste of homemade. Also, Chef Carl values the customers' feedback professionally, he would call us back after we picked up our food to make sure everything is fine. If anything goes wrong, he would make sure we would have the compensation next time we order. Besides the great quality of food and customer service, Chef Carl has a kind heart. He dedicates his day offs to cook for the charity for free.Nowadays, it is difficult to find anyone who has such a big dream for cooking anymore, and Chef Carl is the one. My boyfriend and I are his and Underground Kitchen's biggest fan. I really believe one day Carl can make it and has his own fine-dinning restaurant. Keep up with the great work!!
The yard bird, seafood Mac and cheese and the special jerk shrimp were amazing. Thanks for a delicious meal, we will be back.
We ordered from Underground Kitchen on Wednesday 3/2 for my birthday. The food was amazing!!! I’ve been looking for a restaurant just like this one, definitely an answered prayer. I’ll be ordering here for every date night!
Omg totally worth the drive from Tampa to Gainesville, I absolutely loved the food. Great variety of options on the menu the food was hot, flavorful and filling with excellent portion sizes. Will definitely be back! Thank you guys.
Really delicious food!I had the seafood mac and cheese and it is everything you want in a meal. Flavorful, hearty and exciting. Also had a side of cornbread that was top notch.Hoping to visit again soon!
You ever eat a meal so surprisingly great that you feel compelled to share your experience with strangers on the internet? That’s me right now after eating a meal from Underground Kitchen. This might be one of the best restaurants in Gainesville. The portions are big, and wow is the food good. I mean, really good. Great even. I shouldn’t be too surprised. I saw the pics online after all. I’ll be coming back here again and again. The people taking my order were so kind over the phone, and I love that the restaurant is tied to a broader mission. Well done all around!
Great Cajun food. Carl did a great job. We loved the Cajun shrimp and the crab cakes. I’d go back.
