After visiting Off The Record for the night, my friends and I took the short walk over to the Underground Hall for some late night bites. I really appreciate the fact that this food hall stays open late for those enjoying downtown Houston. They had a wide variety of food options including chicken, burgers, and my personal favorite, tacos. Our group of 4 ordered from Birria Los Primos and got settled at one of the nearby tables. My friend saw that they had $1 champagne shots at the bar, so she ordered 4 for the table. We dug into our phenomenally tasting food and order two more rounds of champagne shots. This was the perfect place to end our wonderful day in the city and I would defiantly come back to try the other food they offer. read more

Great spot to get a quick bite or drink (or both hehe). Tried Wokker for the first time to get the bbq brisket egg rolls and they were okay but didn't wow me, wish they had more flavor to them. The food from Los Primos never fails, always consistent and flavors are amazing. Service is always great, food comes out quick and they have a great happy hour Monday- Friday. Great, chill place to eat, drink and play some games as well. read more

Minus the homeless community camped outside on the corner...this place is always a fave visit when I'm in Houston! I'm glad they have security outside now because the last time we visited they didn't but I would def prefer more than one to feel safer. We actually walked over here from our hotel but def caught an uber back. Second let down was most of the arcade game stocked away in the corner didn't even work. The only game that we could play was the basketball one and the wait was crazy due to people playing it over and over which I understand because it was the only one working. However this was the main reason we enjoyed coming because my kids like to play while waiting on food or after eating. The restaurants all smell yummy and we bounced between a few and were not disappointed. The food by far was so good!! Overall this may become a spot to order and dash instead of chill and hangout while in town which sucks because we loved it when we first discovered it. read more

This place is such a cool spot. They offer a little something for everyone. From Mexican style food, smash burgers at BunSlut, chicken tenders and sandwiches from SideChicks, cakes and ice cream, and a little bar for beer and cocktails; this place everything you could want. Service from all establishments were friendly. Some were a little slower than others but overall a good experience. I would definitely coke back the next time I'm in H-Town read more

This food hall is a little oasis amidst the hustle and bustle of downtown Houston There are plenty of different food options to choose from. Each vendor has their own space. There are plenty of tables and seating in the food hall (downstairs). There are bars as well as foodie spots. Off to the side there are a few arcade games you can play if you're wanting to pass time. There are also TVs around the hall playing sporting events and other televised events. The space is dimly lit, but it has a fun atmosphere The vendors at Under ground are: - Wokker (Asian cuisine with a Texas Twist) - Birria Los Primos (birria) - Rick & Tommy's (sandwiches & fried foods) - Luv 'Em (Tres Leches) - The Daily Boba (Boba Teas and Treats) - BunSlut (burgers, fries, and shakes) Some tips: If you are having a night on the town and feel peckish, I would swing by to grab a bite to eat. We didn't stay too long, and I wish I had tried Wokker, Rick & Tommy's, or Birria. There are happy hour/daily specials at the bars. I remember one of them was $1 shots of champagne Cheers!! read more

Searching for food in Downtown Houston brought us to the Underground Hall. It's a smallish place with a handful of food vendors. We tried three! To start the evening, we ordered drinks from the bar. Bluebonnet French 75 for me and St. Arnold's Grand Prize lager for the spouse. My cocktail wasn't bad but the bubbly wasn't so bubbly. I suppose it was because it was the end of the day and the champagne may have been open for quite a few hours. I'd order this again just to get a bubblier cocktail. The hubby says the lager was just "ok" and would order something else. The bar has an extensive menu so I'm sure there's something for everyone! Enjoy! read more

Really cool spot in downtown Houston. They have a full bar with lots of beer on tap and a few different food concepts to try. I tried the sliders from Bun Slut that were very yummy and the Underground Blonde from the bar. Both were delicious! There are TVs and a few different game machines you can play. Would come back if I was in Houston again. read more

It's worth the drive downtown! Love these tacos. There are serval options to choose from, yet I always gravitate to the taco spot. Reasonably priced made to order tacos that are bursting with flavor. The salsa on the side proceed with caution if you don't like spice. I love spicy things, so I was in love. It added the perfect touch of heat. Be sure to go after 6pm for free Street parking and be warm of the lunch time rush. read more

In a town with a dearth of late night food options, Underground Food Hall is great. The parking situation is not ideal and Fannin and Prairie can be dicey at night but great selection and I've never felt overwhelmed by crowds. The drink selection and pricing is nice for the area without being overwhelmed by the party crowds misbehaving in the streets. read more

Fun place to hang out with several games, several food options, and great happy hour drinks. We came in before an Astros game since it is walking distance from the stadium. We enjoyed their happy hour drinks, we got some wine and some frozen cocktails. We got some Birria tacos from the taco shop in there and we are always a fan! They give you three large tacos and they're super tasty. read more

Visited this downtown food hall and left impressed. The space feels lively yet comfortable, with multiple vendors under one roof, clear menus, and a smooth flow from order to pickup. Screens and games add energy without being distracting, and the bar offers a solid range of options. Food arrived fresh, hot, and well put together, with flavors that felt balanced rather than greasy. The team stayed attentive, communicated well during the wait, and handled requests with care. It worked perfectly for a group stop, where everyone could choose their own thing and enjoy the moment. Clean, fun, and efficient, it delivered a genuinely enjoyable experience that I'd gladly repeat. A strong spot worth recommending to friends visiting downtown. read more

Rad little basement food hall in Houston. Here for work. Have to say my tacos were absolutely delicious! I got the primo platter. Now $23 for street tacos is a little pricey but it is what it is. The real only thing that left me like "What?" Is it comes with 3 Birria tacos and 2 quesitacos. Basically the same with cheese. I asked well can I just get them all with no cheese and he said No. lol. Ummmm ok. Anyway great food non the less. Friend of mine had a chicken sandwich from other vendor and said it was delicious! I would come back. read more

After a short run with its previous predecessor (#1), the new management has rebranded this place as Underground Hall, which is both literal and brilliant, conceptually. Nestled in the heart of downtown, they've played a small part in revitalizing this part of the city. It's become a destination for food, drink, and a vibe for all. As far as food halls go, this place is a bit on the smaller side. The basement digs give it a true underground feel, especially with the darker lighting and overall ambiance. Given the tight layout, it's remarkable they've managed to fit as much as they have in this space. Seating seems plentiful, but can be a challenge for bigger groups. There's plenty of things to do here beyond eating, which include drinks, games, and sports on TV. The lineup for food has changed a bit in the short time that they've been open, but this is the current list: Wokker, Bird Haus, Bun Slut, Luv' Em Leches, Figata Gourmet Foods, and Los Primos. Overall, I'd say they're all decent and make for a good option for anyone who's looking for a casual bite or a pseudo drunken meal. As the ambiance would suggest, I'd say this is a place for a younger crowd. I wouldn't recommend it as a kid friendly spot or a destination for older folks. Parking is a challenge in most parts of downtown, but I've been fortunate to find street parking here each time. There are always a lot of activity outside, especially with folks struggling with their mental health. I would recommend that folks come visit here while there's still daylight before settling in for the evening. __________ (#1) Which supposedly was the "first ever" food hall in Houston. read more

Once you find this unique gem there are several options to eat. We had the Asian fusion restaurant. Their egg rolls with BBQ were super good! We would good back for a lunch if in the area. The benches and TVs make it comfortable to stay- it's a bit run down but imagine a game day for Astros it has more people. There is a bar as well for alcohol. The architecture is very cool and has a unique story to it from when it was a popular downtown bar many years ago. The plans for the bar are in the walls. For a Houstonian that remembers those days- it was nice to see the history preserved. read more

It had a lot of different restaurants that all looked pretty good. We just got a milkshake but the area was cute but a little smaller than I expected and not connected to the tunnel system read more

Picture this. For my birthday, I was taken on a carriage ride of downtown to receive a street level slowed down view of every street because during the day, it's a maze. I'd been in the tunnels before but what I was searching for was, you guessed it, my cult favorite food truck fantasyland--the hidden gem open air version of Bunslut inside Underground Hall, minus the truck. From the street view, parking will cost you at least $20 on the weekend, to partake in an $8 delight. After the carriage ride, I offered to pay for dinner because this one's on me. While he was still confused (a local Houstonian) because it's my birthday and we've passed up all the spots that would hurt your pockets and your feet (here's why I said wear your sneaks) we crossed the street and then went down a few short flights of stairs below street level. The restaurants in this tucked away food court are nothing fancy but the crowd is amazingly diverse and it feels like you're someplace you shouldn't know about but do and you're better for it! Nobody looks like you and nobody's looking at you. It's a vibe like being on your first high school date and on everyone else's too. They did not accept cash. But you can prob afford to eat at all six spots to try them out. The entrance/exit has a variety cakes and desserts almost an afterthought and gives you the feeling of checking out of the bates motel. You don't really notice the cakes going in but you do on your way out. Maybe it's the bell on the door or the something for the road feeling because immediately on the other side of the door there's sensory overload of things going on. For a few bucks though, you've got dinner and takeout and a place to take your picky friends (or teens). There is something for everyone. Family friendly and budget friendly. I woke up the next morning feeling like it was all a dream. But my son said, thanks for the takeout...whatever that place was, the (slutty) sauce is amazing. And this is how we began our burger hunt all over Houston to surpass Bunslut. We've been to every location many times, this one being the first and fave! Fun fact: this location replaced Hotline Burger in UH, which I discovered later, dethroning Bunslut for me. I've covered Hotline before and will again. read more

This place is cool. I'm giving four stars because it has a younger feel to it so would be good with a group of friends. Plenty of options, TVs and some games to play. It kinda reminds me of a college mess hall vibe but not.. if you know what I mean. I had bun slut which I already knew was good but I'd go again to try the birria or noodle spot. It's worth checking out but it's not a top thing to do in Houston. For me anyways. read more

We found this place while walking around in downtown. It's a taco place located underground along with a few other restaurants. Their birria tacos were really good. They serve them fresh and hot and give you enough salsa and birria broth. It isn't super spice but had enough flavors. The lady behind the counter was really nice and helps you if you have any questions about their menu. The place is big enough with a few random tables around. read more

Bun Slut was exceptional. The single burger and the fruity pebble shake fulfilled my quest for the yin and yang of grease and icecream. The slutty fries were a bit too great and wet. Wokker had brussel sprouts that were crunchy and glazed to perfection. Seating is not that great for groups. Ambiance could use some work- common area was dirty, tables not cleared. read more

A cool place I found walking on the street in the day time . Came here to get food , and decided to come use the bathroom at night with my cousin and it's a totally different vibe at night. Didn't even notice the bar in the daytime . I will say there's a lot of young people mixing in here and saw some get turned away from the bar area but the bar had good drinks and the food places were busy . read more

I was on a brief intermission after a wedding with the sweetest chocolate known to man. We stopped by this underground food hall which had a pretty dope vibe. They had a sweets shop when you first walked in but like a said, ain't nothing sweeter than the loving of a hood woman. There is also a bar which is never a bad thing. Not to mention a few other food options so you can't miss on a date. We decided to get food from the Asian infused place. The food was sooooooo good. We wasn't even drunk so I know it'll hit if it were a tad lit. Them brisket egg rolls had me flirting with the staff cause I need them in my kitchen. If you're downtown in Houston you should definitely go by. read more

This place is one floor down and looks initially more like a cafeteria than a food hall. We went straight to the bar and the bartender was extremely nice and helpful. We say and drank for a bit but then decided to eat. I got the caprese salad from the Italian place which was REALLY GOOD! it was fresh, the pesto was delicious and the basil aioli was delicious. My friend got plantains from the Mexican place, which were also really good! Worth a visit, that's for sure read more

Underground hall is a great place to stop by if you're struggling to pick a certain type of food to eat. This place has a lot of options ranging from Asian, Mexican, Italian, and some dessert options too. The ambiance inside is fun and lively. They have games and a bar as well. Good amount of seating for the space and they service has always been good when I've gone. I always get food from the first Asian stand on the left side going down the stairs. SO yummy and highly recommend. I always get the kimchi fried rice with pork belly, and the brisket loaded fries. So much flavor is packed into these dishes I always crave them. read more

Excellent place to cool off and chill. There are a few places to eat, a bar to drink at with lots of fun drinks and specials and some games. Self serve where you order your food pick up counter style, get your drinks and you clean up after yourself. We are still sorting out the charges from the bar as our credit cards were hit for more than one charge. Hopefully this can get cleared up. read more

Reading the previous reviews left, I honestly wonder if I went to the same establishment. The parking is $20 across the street with extremely limited street parking (possibly due to a major city building a couple blocks down). 2 stars only given because there does indeed seem to be a large variety of foods. However, I came here during lunch time on a Saturday & it was nearly deserted. The vibes were not good. I wanted some birria tacos but nobody was at the storefront. There were two customers ahead of me looking similarly confused. My family & I decided to just leave & take the $20 loss for parking to go eat somewhere else. If this hall had reasonable parking I wouldn't have rated it so low, but the process of getting here & then not even having a person at the one counter I wanted to order from was just blah. read more

This place has a bunch of different restaurants in one place. It's pretty cool. It's kind of like a trendy cafeteria.

If you party here, it's an Underground Ball If you shop here, it's an Underground Mall If you slip here, it's an Underground Fall But if you want food, try the Underground Hall If you fight down here it's an Underground Shawl If you need an app down here then Underground Install If you speak all Texan down here, it's Underground, Y'all But if you want food, try the Underground Hall What The 4 is mainly for the lovely feel of the place and the nice variety of (cough, hipster) places to eat. However, it loses 1 for being wickedly overpriced and another for being wickedly overrated. Then it gains 1 star back because it's Houston, the land of cheap ethnic food, not so much of overpriced food courts, and so because it's a little unique for the area, I added a star to it. Plus it's not full of chains so that's a bonus. Anyway, there's plenty of good stuff down here, I especially like the salad and the Slovenian Sausage Pizza from the salad place down here. There's hot chicken (not bad), a bar, and a bunch of other goodies, about half of which I've tried so far. Definitely worth a stop if you're downtown, but honestly it doesn't drag us out to Downtown for food the way nearby Zydeco, Les Givral's, and Nara Express do. But while other awesome people say that trendy food courts rarely disappoint, I feel they almost always disappoint, and while this one disappoints less than some of the others, it still could be much better. BYO Salads: the Slovenian Sausage Pizza Pho Fix: good Viet but more expensive than most good Viet Luvem Leches: good Tres Leches but expensive Bird Haus: not bad Hot Chicken, but expensive and not great Other Stuff: plenty of choices, a wine bar, a bar bar, but none that I'm wild about If the food choices were better it would clearly score 5.

Neat little underground bar and food hall. I got these smoked brisket egg rolls that were the bomb! They have something for everyone.

We tried multiple restaurants there, we got a smash burger which was just alright, the brisket eggrolls from the Asian place which were yum, the Nashville chicken strips from the chicken place also yum, and the Birria tacos which were the star of the show for us! And we got a ranch water from the bar! Then got tees leches for dessert I got strawberry my friend got caramel also fire!

Unique underground hidden gem if you've never been down. While working downtown I walked over with some co-workers and had the best lunch break ever! With so many options of very diverse varieties to choose from food and beverages. I enjoyed my food as well as my time, with arcade games for entertainment the vibe was fun & immaculate. I can never forget my experience at the Underground Hall. There were so many beers on tap to choose from, so many different flavors. I remember coming back directly after work just to try one! This is a very chilled atmosphere a quick little getaway in the heart of the city, this is a must visit spot. read more

Monday, December 2022 @2pm Parking options: street parking or lot parking Highly recommend to singles, couples, families, groups of friends, and or your enemies. Great vibe. It's a place to eat good food, talk, laugh, joke, watch sporting events, and enjoy. There are a couple of arcade games but that's to help bolster the chill vibes created in this establishment. My qualm is with the bathrooms. There are only 2 stalls. If it gets packed.... Still, I think this is a must visit. They offer all the major food types in one spot. read more
