"Before enjoying a night out on the town, smaller groups can stop into this food hall for a drink at the bar and beer garden, which hosts a variety of weekday happy hour specials. Split off to find what tickles your fancy, whether that be cheesy birria tacos and freshly fried churros from Birria Los Primos, brisket curly fries and pork belly fried rice from Asian-Texas fusion hotspot Wokker, smash burgers from Bunslut, or a hot chicken sandwich from Bird Haus. Reconvene at the high-top tables and booths to down your food, split a tres leches from the upstairs Luv’em Leches stall, and maybe fit in some playtime at the arcade games." - Marcy de Luna, Brittany Britto Garley

"At Underground Hall, founder Daut Elshani says he started making preparations to reopen as soon as Gov. Abbott made the announcement on April 27. Some of Underground Hall’s vendors were already serving delivery and takeout, with the exception of Crisp, whose owners will shutter the pizzeria’s Underground Hall outpost in an effort to focus on their main location in the Heights." - Brittanie Shey

"Houston’s O.G. food hall Conservatory Hall just flipped into a new venue called Underground Hall (1010 Prairie S Road), reports Houstonia Mag. The subterranean replacement comes from hospitality pro Daut Elshani, who recently helped open the new Buffalo Bayou Brewing Co. facility. To make the basement space more welcoming, he tells the pub he’s working on a bright refresh, as well as improving the main bar and plumbing. The opening vendor list currently includes American-Italian gastropub Crisp, which currently has a location in the Heights. Underground Hall’s retooled bar, dubbed Beer Market, will be outfitted with 30 taps showing love for local makers and popular pours from Louisiana. Underbar, tucked under the stairs, will serve wine and cocktails. He’s still working on filling out the food hall with tenants, hoping to announce a smorgasbord of new offerings by late February. The original Conservatory is “repositioning” in a new space." - Tierney Plumb

Review is for Bunslut. Placed order online. Walked over before estimated pick up time. As I walked in, I checked status which said order was still being prepared. After 10 minutes, checked again and it said order was ready. Went to counter and asked. Guy in the back just pointed at the ordering screen. Thinking it was a language barrier, I repeated I was picking up an order in Spanish. Guys looked around until I said it one more time and confirmed my name. A different guy said "oh yes! We called your name earlier" Weird, but probably a glitch and my order was ready before I got here. Onto the food. I've had a patty melt (months) before which was delicious and the reason I was coming back. This time, wanted to try a simple burger but made the mistake of getting bacon. Don't make this mistake. Worst bacon I've ever had. Drive thru fast food bacon has been better. It's dark, but not crispy. It looks cooked, but so stringy and chewy. Removed it all from my burger. Kinda ruined it for me, but just order something without bacon and you'll be OK

I paid $20 for this at The Birria restaurant and asked for sour cream, because they didnt add any, and the manager tried to charge me extra for it. He said that was the correct serving of sour cream. I found the manager of the establishment and she told me that I would receive a refund and when I asked the Man at the Birria place he told me she was a liar. I brought her to him and he tried to then say I was lying and that he told me I would get a refund if i brought my food back. This was definitely racially motivated and extremely unprofessional. His behavior was extremely disrespectful over sauce that I paid for and didn’t receive on my food initially.

I tried Wokker when I came for the first time. I loved the brisket fries (I think that's what it was called). The second time I came, I tried Rick and Tommy's Mac and Cheese Chicken sandwich. I loved both of them to choose a favorite. The portions there are pretty huge. I had to take food home each time.

The last time my husband & I went to Los Primos at Underground Hall was July 2023. This place has probably the best birria tacos in the city. The staff is always friendly and the food is amazing. Highly recommend it.

If your looking for a place that has a variety of food options, this is it! They have about 6-8 vendors so everyone can find something to eat.

Rick & Tommys loaded fries with the grilled chicken!! Enough for 3 people to share. The grilled chicken was so deliciously seasoned and had the perfect doneness to it. Definitely recommend.

I had such a great time enjoying the great environment and being served by Lu which has outstanding customer service and very good knowledge about drinks and places to go around town. Looking forward to coming back to have a good time.

Ordered Uber eats. Double burger and slut fries were good, especially when you are really really hungry, meat can use a little more seasoning but other than that, really good

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.

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.

I'm a sucker for a good food hall AND I love it here!!! I love the random but unique art pieces and it's decorated all over!! These photos do no justice!! They also have arcade games!!! Yes I played while waiting on my food and had so much fun. Now I only tried the bowl from Los Primos Tijuana style. Even though they were out of beans the food was grand!! I def can't wait to try it with beans lol My friends ordered their tacos and gave them 10/10 as well. The bartender is funny and the playlist was jamming. The rose margs are a game changer. I've never had those and now they're my favorite. Check this place out if you're in Houston...also the champagne shots really are $1 may the odds be ever in your favor!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yelp
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.

Shannon H.

Yelp
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! The place it'self could use a make over down there but overall a cool vibe

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.

Yelp
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.

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

Jasmine J.

Yelp
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 .

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.

Yelp
Stopped in here for the first time and it was a cute concept. Several different restaurants and a bar are located in a basement like food hall. We tried one of everything from almost all the restaurants and everything was good! My favorites were the tacos and Nashville hot chicken strips. The drinks were strong and the ambiance was chill and relaxing. The service was fast for all the places so we didn't wait long at all.

Delicious selection of food here. Buns out has a awesome burger. I got the brisket egg rolls and didn't think they are worth the order. Awesome place to eat with multiple selections.

The food was great. We got the burgers and Spanish dishes. The smash burgers were delicious and quick service. The Spanish dishes were so full of flavor and authentic. Great place for kids also. They have a few arcade games and sweet treats also. But also great for adult outing with a great selection at the bar. Wish we had things like this back home. Will be back!

Many options to choose from. Great place to go with a group so that there's something for everyone. Only complaint is that I think I could smell cannabis smoke.

Stopped by for lunch. There are few options as far as dining options go. I went to the Los Primos Birria tacos. They were really good, especially with the dipping sauce which has a hint of heat. So good. Very friendly folks (with the older lady rolling her eyes at the younger one when she made a mistake...so fun!). Would definitely go back...if the short walk wasn't so difficult due to the heat/humidity

Claudia L.

Yelp
It's definitely a quick stop before events type place. Very casual and laid back place. The nachos were delicious, red salsa was spicy but it's hard not to eat it with the nachos.

I went here for dinner a few weeks ago. I had never noticed this place because of its location, but it's a hidden secret! The food was served promptly, and it was delicious!

Ordered: $1 Champagne Shot $3 featured Craft Draft Beer of the Day: Golden Ale Aya's take: First stop in Houston and we decided to grab a quick late lunch. Cool spot to hang out at, grab a drink, and enjoy various food options from Nashville fried chicken to birria tacos to Vietnamese to dessert and so on. The Golden Ale was light and went well with the food we got (separate reviews on that) and the Champagne Shot was interesting to say the least but hey, there's always something to celebrate, am I right!?

Yelp
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.

Yelp
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.

The food variety was amazing i had fried wings. The I tried the brisket fries. I wish I would had more time to try the other food but till next time. The ambiance was very chill I liked it we ate here before hitting the lounges at the strip.

Love coming to the underground food hall... It's a place that me and my daughter love going together... Lost of food selection to pick from... Bun Slut is our go to vendor... The parking can be a bear but we circle the blocks until we find free parking on the weekend...

Ate at Wokker. Brisket fries had good flavor. Possibly could use more meat vs fat of meat but good overall.

Outstanding, just amazing what you find in Houston....just passing the word on visit the Underground Hall, you won't be disappointed.

What a cool spot to grab some food before a night out! They have a good variety to choose from and also have a bar. We got food from Bird Haus chicken which was BOMB. I ordered the chicken sandwich on hot. Kind of sad they were out of Mac and cheese, but I ordered fries instead. The fries were really good!! And OMG their sauce???? Soooo delicious. Kind of tastes like cane sauce but sweeter. We ordered pizza from a spot there as well and it was so good. Instead of marinara sauce she used pesto sauce and shredded the mozzarella cheese on top. I don't recall the name of this kind of pizza but it was so good. We showed her a video from TikTok and she knew right away which one it was. I can't wait to return and try the other foods they have!

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. If you use the toilet it's an Underground Stall Watch a Mars movie here: Underground Total Recall Pink Floyd plays down here? Underground The Wall But if you want food, try the Underground Hall

Cool ambiance, great happy hour! On Wednesdays the bar serves short pours for $3, including craft beers. It was pretty empty and a laid back place to hang out after a day baseball game to let traffic clear a little before heading home. I like the pho place too, but didn't have any this time. Highly recommend the ghost in the machine beer!

Great food hall in downtown Houston. While it may not have the frills of other food halls, this place offers a great variety of delicious bites and even some arcade games. You can order pho, unique pho dip (must try!), a beer from many selections on tap, Birria tacos, stir fry, fried chicken sandwich, and more recently, delicious paninis. Don't forget the desert stand upstairs! Great low key vibe spot worth checking out.

I was on vacation. I ordered the elote from Birria. It had a lot of mayonnaise in it. It was just okay for $5, pretty expensive actually!

Michael B.

Yelp
Wife found this place while searching on line. Literally underground. There were quite a few places down here. We went to 2 places. One right to the left at bottom of the stairs. Where we got the fired rice and dumplings The other place was at the end to the left where we got chicken and fries. Both places were amazing. Dumplings had tons of flavor and fried perfectly. Fried rice was also flavorful until the wife cracked the yolk. (I don't like yolk) but she loved the dish. So disregard "until" due to not being accurate to yolk eaters. Lol The fried chicken was soooo juicy. The sandwich was a perfect chicken sandwich The box with loaded fries was also great/amazing. Everyone was pleasant and very helpful. People were practicing social distancing. Hand sanitizer very accessible. Hope they continue to survive the storms that keep happening in Houston. They deserve to stay in business.

Yelp
Great place to go with friends! Lots of different kinds of food to try. We tried 3 different restaurants from here... the Birria tacos were great. The Spicy chicken sando was pretty good. I compare everything to Miko's now... go try that place! But this one was good too. The kimchi fries were amazing too. We're definitely going back.

No. Just no. Chaotic. Random. Unclean. Loud. Mediocre food. Expensive, watered down drinks. College campus food court vibes.

If you are looking for a nice place to unwind after work, checkout the Underground Hall. I have been a couple times and the vibes are always nice. There are plenty options to eat & there is also a bar with daily specials.

Came here for Happy Hour. The bartender was great, I believe her name was Andrea-- I could be wrong, so sorry, but she is pictured in the Underground pictures on the website. I can't believe Jack Daniels is on the Happy Hour menu, I loved this! The place is a little hall filled with about five different food spots and some games. I walked in and out two times, because by the looks online I thought this was a traditional restaurant and wanted to try the food. I didn't end up getting food but the drinks were good for happy hour. I would come again.
