Fox and Hound

I went here on one of my first weekends staying in Memphis.  I got to meet my roommate's gf this visit, and I was looking forward to it.  Besides Beale St, I hadn't really been anywhere in town except to the Buffalo Wild Wings next to the house.  So this was a Sunday night treat for me.

I had no idea what the hell Cordova was, except it was north of were we lived.  So he said let's go check this place out.  They had beer, and food, and tvs.  What else could I ask for?

When we got there, we all got carded, then they were trying to talk about cover.  Hell nah, its a Sunday night with absolutely nothing going on.  So thankfully with minimal hustle, we proceeded without paying cover.

This location is about the same setup as the one on Sanderlin- eatery in the middle, pool tables on the left, and who knows on the right.  We sat at the pool table side, and watched sports.  The server came up pretty quickly but I had a tough time seeing what to get to drink, as all of the damn menus were so sticky I couldn't even open them up.  That was cute.

I kept telling myself someone brought a bottle of syrup in and poured it on everything, as the thought of it being something else would get me sick.  So I finally found a menu I could open and got some local brew.  For food, they had plenty to choose from, I started off with an app platter- that had tenders, pretzels, skins, and I think something else.  I also got a flatbread that night.  What? I was hungry.

The pretzels came out and I tell you what- the ACTUAL pretzels were amazing.  However, the stuff they put on it they called "salt" was damn near radioactive.  Even after scraping off the "salt", it was overbearing.  And salt usually does not bother me.  I had blisters in my mouth after the 3 one.  What a shame.

By the time my flatbread came, I almost didn't want to eat it, but I was too hungry.  The flatbread wasn't too bad- I am sure though the extra sodium did not help my mouth.  

All in all, the good and the bad canceled eachother out, leaving this place at a 2.5 stars.  However, one of my employees told me that on certain Saturdays, they have wet t-shirt contests in the parking lot.  Wonder if that makes it worth going back to?!?

Went here for lunch to try a new place. Ordered the beer battered fish and chips. when we got our food it was nice and brown on the outside but raw on the inside. I think the cook had his oil too hot. I sent it back and the manager comp'd the whole check for my friend and myself. Because of this, I am going to give them another try. Everyone has a bad day.

Kind of expensive, kind of dark, smoke filled, long menu but nothing is better than average. On the plus side tons of TV's, nice pool tables and other games. Good beer selection(they had a big problem with warm beer but the last coupe of times I have been there it was much improved) When there is nothing sports wise on they play good music with videos. This is a big place so often there are parties going on. Not the cleanest or best maintained place in the world either.
