We finally stopped at Ye Olde Underground Inn and their special that night was Gumbo and OMG it was delicious! I just need a notification when they have so I can go on those nights for sure.

I walk in and immediately it's a very cozy place. The bar is busy, but still the bar tender is quick with her job. When I want to order food, there is an entire waiting staff and dining room for me (I chose to dine in the bar) that just adds to the atmosphere, and general kindness of the bar. I've even met the owners who are just the most pleasant people, usually meeting business owners is a bit intimidating but these two make me want to come back just to talk to them again. All around friendly, comfortable, and tasteful. My personal favorite out of all of Princeton; Great meals every time, great service all around, and wonderful environment to be in.

Mother's Day Lunch Plate was so delicious and a full plate of wonderful food. The plate was filled with Ham, Beef and Fried Chicken. Green Bean Casserole, Choice of Cheesy Augratin (YUM) OR Mashed potatoes, a dinner roll and cake. So much I might have forgotten something and drink. We were all delighted and stuffed. The waitress Tealitha is just awesome. All of them are! Thank You Underground for an awesome and Blessed Mother's Day Lunch!!

We stopped in for a drink and some food tonight. We both decided to give the food specials a go. My wife had the chicken snack bites(wraps) and I had the meatloaf sandwich with baked potato. The sandwich was DELICIOUS! My wife really enjoyed her food as well. Very reasonably priced, and the staff was very friendly. Definitely worth a stop....

A really great option while visiting Princeton. It's one of those places where you feel very comfortable becoming a regular. For lunch, the Tortilla Soup is outstanding!

A little bit outdated but the food made up for the atmosphere. The salad bar is a bit below average but it's an option you don't have to get. I had fried chicken with a baked potato and it was very good. My husband had the ravs with me at sauce and he really liked it. We would go again.

First time going and one thing is for sure .. they definitely give the family vibe.. I felt very comfortable and right at home even though I was surrounded by complete strangers... the drinks were good .. I will definitely go back for round 2
