    What makes it fun

    Partners Claudia Lee and Richard Hargreave's objective was to develop a restaurant that served food they wanted to eat and wine they wanted to drink. As a tribute to Claudia's ancestry, Underdog will feature a wine-friendly, Korean-focused menu. The constantly changing wine list will highlight smart producers who are committed to sustainable farming and labor methods. Squid, our 10-year-old rescue pup, has dark hair and looks like a cross between a dachshund and a spaniel. She is the face of our company and is quite nice, so be sure to say hello. She will always have snacks to share with her four-legged buddies!

    What the heck, they’ve been open for two years and I’m just now discovering the genius that is Underdog?! I came with my partner on a quiet weeknight and both the service and food was exceptional. Don’t sleep on the salt and pepper broccoli - that dish was fireeee. We also had the oysters, blue crab crispy rice, and steak frites, all of which were exceptionally delicious.

    10/10 love this place. Staff, food, wine. I have no words other than just go treat yourself. They have a sweet happy hour too. Craziest wine selection. Great experience.

    Wonderful little restaurant. Even being short staffed around the holidays, everyone was friendly, helpful, and efficient and we had a great experience. All of the food was delicious and the happy hour deals are amazing. And they even validate parking in the garage behind the restaurant. Highly recommend and we will be coming here again.

    One of the best overall meals we’ve had in Austin! Steak frites, scallion & shiitake pancake, and the tartare were standouts. Fantastic wine selection and great happy hour. The staff here are so friendly and made the experience all the better.

    Lovely, calming decor, excellent creative dishes, a carefully curated wine list, and attentive service...plus 2 hr free parking in the underground parking lot! What more could you ask for?

    INCREDIBLE! A little gem of a place on S. 1st :)The team is lovely, so hospitable and knowledgeable/helpful when it comes to menu decisions. Tried multiple things and loved them all. Definitely get the Sweet Potato Donuts (like beignets!) and Fried Chicken. Also loved the Chablis BTG. Loved it and will definitely be back (on the regular). xx

    Popped in for dinner last week at Underdog and still thinking (and drooling) about the food! Favorites of the night included the crispy rice with blue crab, ebi burger, and pork belly ssam, all cooked to perfection. Wine list is extensive with a sommelier on site as well.
