Underground Coffee & Ales

Unique food menu. A little on the pricey side but good tasting food.

Amazing! A restaurant is more than the food that it serves; it is about an experience. Underground had did not deliver the experience nor serve edible food. The hamburger that I ordered "Medium" was almost burned, my friend's veggie wrap was a few vegetables surrounded by a gooey crust. The frys (my spelling) had enough salt to melt the ice on a sidewalk. Waitress showed no interest in serving us. Expected that a restaurant, which serves the population of a small town would attempt to retain new visitors as customers. Not the Underground. Prices high. Checkout time brings a smart pad pushed into your face with a large display asking for a tip. No receipt available other than the Web or Text. Then to add insult to the bad service and barely edible food is a request to buy the kitchen crew a round of drinks for $7; Why? I tapped the 15% tip and exited. It could be worse because dlned at the restaurant located a few doors away last week, which made us aware of the existence of the Underground. This nearby place was worse. Why is this happening in Highland. Possibly because of the Walk Way on the Hudson that brings tourists who will never return. The uncaring restaurant owner may be seeking a :quick buck'.

I had the best latte that I’ve had in months last Thursday evening at Underground. My barista was so much fun and made me a delicious caramel latte with an adorable cat as latte art of top. With such a low key vibe, I can see myself coming back time and time again

Great place to hangout! Nice beer stop on the Hudson rail trail.

Good coffee, great beer selection. Food is very good and I just love the tofu w/ buffalo sauce. The place in Highland.

Awesome little cafe! The coffee and beer are both delicious. The food is out of this world good!!! Got the hot honey chicken sandwich and it was one of the best fried chicken sandwiches I ever had. Their grilled cheese is fantastic as well. Prices are also very fair for the amazing quality.

My husband and I stopped here for lunch. We ordered the veggie burger and the veggie wrap for our meals - along with onion rings and a side salad, the buffalo brussel sprouts for an appetizer, a cider and a beer. The sprouts were delicious if a bit too greasy. The cider was terrible, but this is not the establishment's fault; the beer was fine. The veggie burger was flavorless and the wrap was just sad, loaded with lettuce and just a sprinkle of the vegetables it claimed to include. After the lackluster experience, I decided to forgo the coffee. Perhaps this place offers a better experience for meat lovers, but for me it's sadly a pass.

Wanted dinner, had not been to Underground coffee and Ale in probably 2 years. We were looking for something different to eat rather than the typical local restaurants we frequently use. We did takeout and the food was prepared in 15 mins. Was very happy with the fast food prep and quality of food

Nice friendly atmosphere. I just feel that when I pay 15.for the cheapest burger the roll should be fresh and the tomatoes in August shouldn't be tasteless like they are February tomatoes.

I did not get a chance to try Underground's food or beer because all of its outdoor tables were taken when my friend and I went there for lunch. The lovely art gallery next-door, Knaus Gallery & Wine Bar, had free tables, so we asked the owner, Sarah Knaus, if we could sit there and order food from Underground and drinks from her. She graciously agreed. But the Underground waitress said we had to come inside to order food, although I was holding my small dog. I asked, twice, in two different ways, if we could order outside since I had the dog with me, which would have involved her walking three feet out of her way. My friend went inside to order, and I ordered food from Knaus Gallery & Wine Bar, which means Underground lost a sale, the waitress lost a tip (my friend gave Sarah a 100 percent tip), and Underground lost our good will. Note to waitress: Sometimes in life, good customer service means walking a few feet out of your way.
