This place is it's own worst enemy. Â It's a good sized sports bar with plenty of pool tables and a couple dart boards in the back. Â They've got a wide selection of beers and a pretty nice menu.
However, this was the rudest most uninformed staff I've seen in quite some time. Â Apparently they are very compartmentalized in their duties and WILL NOT SERVE YOU outside of their job description. Â For example, I wanted to order a drink and a meal. Â The bar tender ( after looking in my face and ignoring me for 7 minutes) would take my drink order, but not my food order because we were 12 people at a table. Â In the 3 hours we were there I saw my waitress twice, both times upon specific request. Â Also, I asked if they had Lambec and the waitress told me NO. Â Ten minutes later I went to the bar and could see it sitting in the fridge behind the bartender. Â
I will not be going back here EVER!
Not a very healthy menu - I struggled to find good options. I ended up getting the Napa Valley Spinach Salad which I have had before and was very good - it has chicken in it. I also ordered the Chicken Sandwich sans bun and got a side of broccoli (which as healthy as that sounds wasn't as they were swimming in what I'm guessing was butter). It is a cool place to hang out tho. Lots of bar and high top seating. Good seating for groups. Lots of TVs and separate rooms to eat in, one of which has pool tables.
Review Source:Visited Sunday morning before the football games started up. Â Had six children in tow, so they were able to accomodate us by putting together a couple tables in the back dining room. Â Our waitress was pleasant and attentive.
The place has three large dining areas, two of which have pool tables and other pub games. Â They also have a large bar, and TVs all over the joint. Â Good beer and liquor selection.
At this point, I'd give the place four stars...and if you were coming for beer and sports, you'd be very happy.
The food...overpriced for what you get. Â The all-you-can eat chips and salsa for $4.95 is a solid deal, but the boneless wings were sparse in quantity. Â The beer cheese soup was bland, and for $4.95 for a bowl, I was again disappointed by the quantity. Â The kids seemed happy with their selections (kid's menu available). Â Lastly, my burger (guacamole burger) was cooked to order and probably the best thing I ate. Â My guess is the burgers are the best food option here.
My husband and I were spending a casual night out without the kids. I had purchased a Groupon $10 for $20 worth of food. Â We visited on a Sunday evening, and were seated right away. Â I ordered a Golden Margarita, which was pretty good. Â For my entree I ordered the Black & Bleu burger w/onion rings. Â I was pleasantly surprised when my burger arrived. Â The burger was hand pattied and cooked perfectly. Â The patty was seasoned with cracked black pepper and topped with Applewood bacon and crumbled blue cheese on a fresh ciabatta bun....yum! Â The onion rings were thick cut, breaded nicely, which made for a nice crunch, and surprisingly, not at all greasy. Â
I probably would not have chosen this place without the Groupon, but I truly enjoyed the meal, especially while watching the Olympic games.
We stopped by Fox & the Hound because we were in the area doing some furniture shopping. It wasn't something we were looking for, but it seemed like one of the better options at the intersection of Mayfield & SOM Center.
It's a typical and average sports bar. Menu has a little bit of everything, and nothing you wouldn't expect. Service was very good throughout our meal. We ordered the Buffalo Chicken Ranch Wrap with onion rings and the Hot Fox Chicken Sandwich with fries. Both meals were fine, but nothing to go out of your way for.
If you're looking for plenty of sports on TVs, pool, and some bar food (and you're in the area), it's a fine stop. Nothing special though.
We go there several times a year. The service is very good. Like the Tuesday $2. beer night.  Today we ordered the baked pretzels with our beers.  The beer was good as usual  but baked pretzels were dripping with grease. By far the worst ever. We did not complain but would not order again. Pricey base on value.
Review Source:was here for a job function.....my managers were told that we could stay and watch the fight for free...they even double checked before they left......then after they left we were then told that we could stay and watch the fight at a discounted rate........was unable to find the lady who my manager spoke with.
Then went there a month later only to be totally ignored by our waitress.....we sat there for 10 minutes before we got up and walked out
I've been to this Fox & Hound plenty of times. It's an average sports bar. Average bar food. Average prices. Average beer selection. It's nice if you want to get together with friends and watch some sports (their back room has a huge TV, with smaller flat screens scattered throughout the rest of the place) or just hang out when there's nothing else going on. You can also play pool, table tennis, or darts.
Every time we show up with a bigger party (10+) they usually accomodate with no problems, and the service is rarely off, which is impressive considering how confusing our bills can get.
They have decent daily specials, especially on Tuesdays where it's $2 for any drafts they have.
There really isn't anything that makes this bar stand out, but then again, there isn't really anything that has turned me away. I guess it's kind of our ol' reliable.
Maybe my expectations were a bit high but this seems to be far from a "pub." Â Patrons and staff look more like the cast of Jersey Shore moved 500 miles west. Â Lots of Guidos and Stellas. Noise level is VERY LOUD. Food was poor at best. I felt like leaving the meal and going across the street to Wendy's to eat. Â I sat at the bar to order a dinner on a weekday evening. Â Food tasted as though it was just out of the microwave. Â Prices were not cheap either. Â If this is typical Fox and Hound food and atmosphere, they will not get any of my business at any location.
Review Source:Even on a weekend lunch it's noisy, but it's got nice wood, decent tables, extensive pool tables and ping pong, and sufficient TVs to keep everyone happy.
Beer selection isn't bad and the food is more than okay, although it's nothing to get excited about either.
Certainly decent enough to go hangout, tho. And our server, at least on a slow Saturday, was awesome. Drinks arrived almost as they were empty-- I swear she had telepathy or something...
As the star rating says, "meh." It's an acceptable sports bar - lots of TVs, but none of them are really big or impressive so go somewhere else if you want to be immersed. The music is way too loud, this place needs to decide whether it's a sports bar or a club. The beer selection is weak. Sure, they have more than the usual AB-Miller selection, but what do they have? The same stuff you can get anywhere: Guinness Newcastle, etc. The only "highlight" is stocking two uninspired Great Lakes beers, Dortmunder (their blandest) and a seasonal. And the food was acceptable, but not good, and not really worth the money.
Let's sum up: lots of screens, but they're too small. Music too loud. Food is below average. Weak beer selection. It wasn't a bad experience, just not worth going to. Skip it.
Clean inside, even if the patrons aren't. The noise gets pretty high so be ready to yell. Large selection of drinks, and looks like a full menu but we didn't order off of it. Alot of weird smells float around this place.
It is a good place to settle on if no one has a better idea, but I wouldn't make plans in advance.
As a Michigan Alumni (go blue!), I come to Fox & Hound almost every weekend to watch the football game. And since I work near the area, my coworkers and I go there often for happy hour.
That being said, the food at Fox is pricey for what its worth. I've had undercooked Fish & Chips there before and I've had many of their dishes there before and nothing has ever really stuck out to me yet. The food is your most typical bar food except it's hard to find a decent dish, except maybe their hot and honey chicken wings.
The only props I must give Fox is their Tuesday dollar beer night and their party specials (If you get a group of 10 or more, they give certain amount of free wings and unlimited chips and salad).
Des[pite their food, Fox is a great place for a get together and for a sports night.
Got carded twice here... since I was an out of towner, they wanted to really make sure I wasn't sporting a fake ID... I guess the receding hairline wasn't enough to prove that I was over 21!
SHOCK TOP... TALL please... times 2!!! Unfortunately the service here was too slow for me... and on a Monday night when nobody else was around I thought to myself, what is this place like when it's packed to the brim on a Thursday/Friday?
I did enjoy the fact that music videos were playing on the big screen and the music was routed skillfully through the loud speakers. Â Actually made me reminisce about the days when MTV did have music videos and not just Teen Mom and Jersey Shore.
As far as the food went, I had the Chicken Wrap which was tasty, nothing special and at times I had to make sure I had enough salsa on there to offset any potential blandness. Â The ingredients sometimes reminded me that the whole burrito was processed vs. fresh.
On this night, the food could have been whatevers because I wasn't there to eat, I was there to relax after a long day of travel--I wanted to drink! Â Again, it's hard to stay relaxed and maintain a good buzz when it takes the waitress 10-15 minutes to process a round of beers (again, the restaurant and bar were at a 10% capacity).
I've been here before on prior visits to Ohio and I feel that there's so much potential for a place like this to succeed--decor, ambiance, beer selection and pool tables. Â HOWEVER, until the service improves, the Fox & Hound is begging for the opportunity to disappoint you.
The second bite of my pizza was 70% uncooked dough. Â Mushy, nastly, slimy dough. Â Although the environment is cool & the beer is reasonably priced for the area, every meal I've had there has not been good. Â On top of that, you have to pay to rent the ping-pong paddles & darts. Â
Although probably not relevant to the service, every member of the help staff is an attractive woman with a low-cut shirt. Â
The pizza, the wait staff & the pay-to-play ping pong are what I remember most of this place - not worth recommending.
This place is ok. Â Monday nights, at least last night was, buy 10 wings get 10 free so that was a pleasant surprise. Â The women working behind the bar are very easy on the eyes and pretty cool to talk to. Â The food here is probably par for a pub, nothing really stands out. Â The liquor prices are about $4 for well and about the same for a draft.
Tuesday nights are draft night which equates to $2 any draft. Â The two pool rooms tend to be a sausage fest / tool chest, but I guess thats why they built a room to remove them from the general drunk population. Â It's definitely a lot bigger on the inside then it appears from the parking lot. Â I frequent this place during the college football season because U of M Alumni Assoc. meets there for the games.
Not sure what all the whiners reviewing this place were expecting.
This is a bar in a strip mall...
I went hoping to find a great place for an out-of-towner to watch a football game, and hopefully some decent food and drinks.
The TV's were great, even mapped out as to which game would be on which so we knew where to sit.
The appetizer sampler was tasty (all above average except for the mozzarella sticks which were...average, how could they not be)
Wings were quite tasty, try the Spicy Garlic, not too buttery like most places.
The Mahi Mahi sandwich was cheap for that amount of fish.
Place was dark and comfortable (my personal preference for bars)
There were some very cheap (compared to Nashville, where I am from) drink options.
If you're looking for a sports bar this is a great stop!
If you're looking for something else....well, don't go to bars in strip malls!!
There are a ton of other places very similar to this everywhere, lots of beer, lots of TV's, lots of bar games, lots of (really) hot girls. Â If that's what you're looking for, this place could be a five. Â I think it would be perfect next to campus, or in a hip, younger area. Â This place gets packed, and I went there for a low key drink after work to find it literally packed at 10 PM on a Tuesday, and this place is HUGE. Â Turns out $2 drafts all day really gets the people in the door, and doesn't make them ever want to leave. Â I have been here before though, and its usually pretty expensive on the drinks. Â There are as mentioned a lot of really attractive girls working up here, which seems to be the main draw on most nights, and certainly hasn't kept me away. Â The food is pretty standard, nothing has been terrible, but I've never thought "man I need to go back and get those...". Â They do have UFC fights, but there's a $5 cover charge usually. Â If you can get away with it great, but I think if your drinking, they should kinda stop charging at the door as well. Â If you are a single guy or girl looking for someone, you should stop by, just realize its a meat market, might be fun, but thats probably all it is.
Review Source:Thank you Matt for reminding me about this blah establishment that I had forgotten to review. Not that I have much of anything else to add. I went here after work one day for a "happy hour" (although for me, any work-organized get-together where I can't drink is not really happy for me.)
Still, I guess I am glad I didn't waste any money on overpriced mixed drinks or bud light here. They did have a rather good Cobb salad but it wasn't enough to save this place from the general doldrums it represents.
I've been to the Fox & Hound a thousand times. Well, not literally speaking this location or even this exact franchise, but I've been to plenty other bars eerily similar to this exact establishment a countless number of times.
I've seen this same setup before; big screen TV's, pool tables and dart boards. The same unoriginal faces having the same boring conversations. I've seen the same Valley Girlish bartenders before with the same spaced out mentality. I've even seen this menu before. It's been done over and over again all throughout this country. There is nothing ground breaking here. No one is changing the world or inspiring new ideas here.
It goes without saying that the company you keep or the people you come here with will ultimately define your experience at the Fox & Hound. Just don't expect anything over and above your original expectations. It's mediocre at best.
Pros: Very sports bar like atmosphere. Â It is well kept, and lots of programs on TV. Â I had the wings and a mushroom burger. Â It was a really good experience. Â Our waitress was really friendly, food is great, and serving time for 4 people is fast.
Cons: not much that I can write here.
Conclusion: I really like eating here. Â Also she carded us for drinks. We had different state IDs, but gave us the drinks anyways. Â Later on she saw our credit cards, and saw that we were all from different states, She told us she thought we had fakes and gave us the drinks anyways.
People, English Pubs are good fun, but English FOOD is CRAP. Â So, why you would decide to add in the "Grille" feature to your cool English Pub is beyond me. Â And true to form as an English Grille, the Fox & Hound's food was, well, pretty crappy. Â I was given the choice of Subway or Fox and Hound for lunch today, and, admittedly, I would choose Fox and Hound over Subway again, but I'd probably just order a Guinness (Irish, I know) and call it lunch. Â
In *concept* the food at Fox and Hound sounds fine, "a grilled turkey sandwich with apple smoked bacon, cheese, and a honey mustard dressing on a pretzel bun" sounds pretty good. Â In *practice* the bun was soggy and not so good, the "bacon" had the texture and composition of Bacos and grilled turkey had something so unpleasantly unappetizing in it that I just swallowed it and prayed. Â My dining companion seemed to enjoy her meal, so perhaps the execution of my sandwich is sometimes better. Â
As a Pub, maybe the place is great, there were a few pool tables, several dart boards and the place had the dimly lit feel of your favorite pub in London (everybody has one of those, right?) although the cavernous space is distinctly American. Â I can't imagine that this "English" pub, in a strip mall, ever gets really fun, or rockin'. Â But, maybe, occasionally it does get a drunk old man humming a sea shanty or two. Â Just as if it was a real English Pub.
Because the Brits are our allies, and the Pub serves Newcastle, I will give the Fox and Hound the benefit of the doubt here and go with two stars. Â Â However, Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille (what's up with this faux-English spelling?) I will leave you with some wisdom from a man who spend much time in an actual English Pub, Sir Winston Churchill: "However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results."
Toodles.
