    Very attentive staff and good food. The portions were very generous. Dinner and dessert were more than enough to fill me up. Very cool atmosphere down there as well. Regardless of what you generally like to eat, you will find something on the menu that works for you. Would eat here again on my next stop through town.

    This is our 1st visit to the city of Hood River, on a Tuesday night. We found this restaurant based on yo reviews. The restaurant is in the middle of downtown and under street level. This is a small restaurant. We are the only order party in the entire restaurant. The hostess and waitress was very helpful with our order. Nice food and service.

    I've been here a couple of times now, and had the same experience twice. The wait staff (lady with short hair) is very polite, friendly and attentive but in no way overbearing. CON: They don't have sparkling water (most places in HR don't) and the bread you get with dinner is mediocre at best...very best. PRO: The service is really good, the food is delicious! I haven't had any meat dishes here, so I have no idea how they might taste. But the pasta and sauces are spot on! As far as "Italian" food goes, this is the tastiest in hood river.

    The pasta is simply amazing!!! A family-owned restaurant that's friendly, fast, and has very tasty food!! I tried the Linguine Carbonara and it was delicious!! The owner was working alone serving and not once was frazzled or hurried. He got our food out pretty fast and checked in on us. Super friendly and kind! Definitely recommend this place!

    We are new to town and we've already had two recommendations for The Subterranean. We went for dinner tonight and it was heavenly! We shared a Caesar salad and a pasta special (Linguine Milanese?), with tiramisu for dessert. All were delicious! The pasta was incredibly good and I'm glad to hear it's earned a permanent spot on the menu. We can't wait to go back and try a steak. Glad to know of this fun little spot.

    Great food - wife and I tried different pastas that were both pretty good. Couldn't go wrong with our deep fried pickle appetizer either. The name of the restaurant doesn't lie - a dark, cozy basement atmosphere. Pretty lonely on a Thursday night in November but that was perfect for us.

    So if you are traveling thru Hood River on the Columbia River Gorge You must stop to eat at the Subterranean restaurant- steakhouse. Adam & I decided to share each other's choices. I went with the Salmon Dill Aoli special with side veggies. It was amazing! Adam kept raving about the piece he ate. We also got their Flat Iron steak which was very tasty. Hubby got the garlic mash. Great service. Family owned and operated.

    We LOVED this place. While in hood river, we stopped in 3x, 1x for breakfast and 2x for dinner…read more Their donuts are so fresh and sooooo good! Breakfast plates were great with many options to choose from. I had the burger one night for dinner and it was well prepared and very tasty. The second night I had the hcicken tacos and those were really good. So many good flavors combined. Their kids meals were great too. Best food in HR, in our opinion!

    This is one of our go-to spots on Hood River. We've been here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and…read moresomehow they manage to nail it every single time. Today's mission? Split the St. Helens Burger, an order of fries, and a side salad with the recommended goat cheese (trust them--it was the right call). The burger was everything you want it to be. A fresh poppy seed bun, a perfectly cooked patty, sweet caramelized onions... and then came the poblano pepper. That little bit of smoky heat tied the whole thing together. Now let's talk about the fries because they deserve their own paragraph. These are, without question, my favorite fries. They arrived hot, crispy, perfectly golden, and had that satisfying crunch that makes it impossible to stop at just one. If you're a fry person, these alone are worth the visit. The side salad was fresh and flavorful, and the creamy goat cheese took it from "just a side salad" to something I'd happily order again. It was the perfect balance to all those delicious fries. If you're looking for a place that consistently delivers great food in a welcoming atmosphere, Kickstand Coffee should absolutely be on your list. We've yet to have a bad meal here, and it's one of those places we recommend without hesitation to friends, family, and anyone who asks where to eat. I now wish I didn't let my husband eat more of the fries. Gotta head back up there soon! Service was great and love that the girl at the counter asked me if I was doing anything fun today - extra friendliness goes a long way!
