Swamp Stew & Honey butter jalapeño cornbread!

3 bunches of collard greens

Garlic powder to taste
Onion powder to taste

Boil your smoked turkey till tender enough to shred in your chicken stock ( may have to add some water to the stock due to it cooking down) brown your ham, sausage and onions and set aside . Remove the long vein in your collards so it does not come out bitter. Wash very thoroughly to remove the Earth . Roll up collards and then slice into ribbons. Combine All ingredients into the pot with the stock and cook till greens get to Your desired consistency and then serve in a bowl with a side of you desired cornbread and enjoy!

What people say

Recent reviews of Underground Cooks, located on Kings Highway in Dallas, have been mixed. The Dallas Morning News gave the restaurant two and a half stars in a review published just this month, praising their "inventive dishes" and "adventurous cocktails." However, the reviewer also noted that some dishes fell short, citing an under-seasoned pork chop and unevenly cooked scallops.

A more positive review came from D Magazine earlier this year, where Underground Cooks was lauded as one of the "best new restaurants" in Dallas. The review noted their attention to detail and high-quality ingredients.

Online customer reviews seem to echo these mixed sentiments. One Google reviewer commented that they had "the best meal ever" at Underground Cooks, while another felt that the food was overpriced for its quality. Similarly, a Yelp reviewer praised the gastropub's unique menu items but found the service to be slow.

Another recent addition to Kings Highway is the gastropub by Underground Cooks. According to a review by CultureMap Dallas in August 2021, their burger and fries were impressive but they were disappointed with their fish & chips dish.

Overall, it seems that Underground Cooks has potential for great meals but may need consistency for delivering those experiences across all meals and service for outstanding customer experiences.
