Amy M. was our server for 5 people. The food was amazing. 2 of us did the lunch special with the two sliders n a side. Absolutely amazing. I personally did the motorcity sliders with onion rings. Great choice. Daughter did the slider lunch special with the Shiitake and Swiss and HawaianHunk with onion rings. Nephew did the slider lunch special with Sexychicken and Motorcity sliders along with Mac n chz as side. His girlfriend did the Chicken wrap and it was good size and perfect she said. ALL WERE STUNNING. Other daughter did just an appetizer of Fried pickles. Service was very fast, friendly, and amazing. Atmosphere was very clean, welcoming, and in the game zone. Prices are a little high but that comes with the great portion sizes and food quality. It was all great.

The food at Underdog is excellent. A smash burger is a classic, and they absolutely nail it. The hand-dipped onion rings are cooked to a perfect golden crisp, and the friendly service is the cherry on top. The only downside is the location. I’m from out of town, and it took me 10–15 minutes to realize the restaurant is inside a grocery store. The space itself is nicely decorated, but once you glance up and take in your surroundings, the ambiance disappears. If I were the owner, I’d be looking for the first vacant storefront downtown — or even in the next city over. It’s definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area, but it does feel a little odd walking into a grocery store for a burger and a beer.

Great place to eat: breakfast, lunch, dinner and bar. There is also a grocery store, chicken, sushi bar, Bigby Coffee, Anytime Fitness and a post office. The atmosphere is a sports bar. The server, Ava, was really awesome and made the experience really good. I'm here on a trip. Would recommend this place!

★★★★★ 5.0 Tim Post · Feb 2026

Really enjoyed my visit to this spot. The service was great—friendly staff who were quick and on top of things. Food came out fast and was solid all around; the pretzel bites were especially tasty with a nice soft chew and good seasoning. My meal was hearty and filling without feeling heavy. They have a great selection of beers on tap, which was a nice bonus. The place is set up perfectly for watching sports—tons of TVs everywhere, so you never miss the action. Comfortable vibe overall. Definitely a go-to for game days or a casual meal with drinks. I’ll be back!

Always a delightful time. Great cocktails and craft beer selection. Amy is an excellent server, and Trey can cook up deliciousness!
