Fox and Hound English Pub & Grille

Service is "sometimesey".  (Yes this is an official word.  Try it in a sentence, ie.  "girl, you are sometimesey!")  Sometimes its great and attentive.  Sometimes you have to wait a while.  

Prices are ridiculous.  Beer prices are fine.  I'm taking about their premium liquors.  They are the same premium that you get everywhere else.  So why should I pay Fox and Hound three dollars more?  Seriously?  (They charge strip club prices.  And the scenery here isn't all that great.)

Recently I attended an event here hosted by a friend.  Fox and Hound catered their event and sectioned off a portion of their game room.  The space provided for the event was great.  There was plenty of room for pool, darts, and even beer pong!  They provided plenty of setting for our group so we had lots of room to spread out.
The food was a completely different story.  The waitstaff failed to place the proper cutlery at the buffet.  Also some dishes we on the cooler side.  The sliders were served with cheese that looked as if it had been torn in half by hand.  Condiments weren't placed with the appropriate items, nor were they labeled.  I didn't pay for the event, so I didn't feel it was my place to say anything.  When it came time for drinks we had three different servers come through offering cocktails.  The garnish and flavor also changed with my drink a few times.  It was vodka, so meh.  lol!

This place has it's purpose.  I'm just not sure that purpose fits my needs.

Actually one of the better sports bars in KC.  It is in a strip mall and can be easily overlooked back off the road.  It is behind the Krispy Kreme location near 95th and Metcalf.  I have been here a few times with differing groups of folks.  This is a large smoke free facility.  They can take on multiple private parties and still make room for the walk in guest.  Though I have not been to a private party here we saw a buffet set up for one party who was there on an occasion.

They have a descent beer menu.  They also carry several local handcrafted beers.  Each location has its own beer menu to fit their clientele.  I give their beer selection four stars.  The bar menu is what you would expect.  It has specialty drinks and bar food selections.  I have had the bar food and it is average.  I'd give it three stars.  We have always had good service here.  I have always been with a group of folks and they do a great job of keeping up with everyone's pace.  They split bills without any drama.  I give the service four stars.

There is a lot to do at Fox and the Hound.  They have televisions, billiards, darts, beer pong, music and special events.  They do host UFC for a small cover charge. It's a heck of a lot less than paying to bring the event into your home.  Then you can spend the difference on some drinks, food and group atmosphere. They bring folks in to liven up the place.  The good news is if you don't want to be part of a large loud event being hosted you can retreat far away to the other side of the pub.

They have an All Star card.  You get a free burger when you sign up and you get a meal on your birthday.  You also earn points for what you spend when you go and get perks along the way.  Of course you have to give up your email address.  Nothing is totally free.  

So if you have a group and need a place to go and happen to be in Overland Park, well give Fox and the Hound a go.  They are actually a Kansas company, but have locations in several states besides the two locations in Kansas.

This is the mecca of bar games.  Went here with coworkers for a happy hour, so I can only write this on the drinks, service, and atmosphere.  However, our server was attentive (group of 13 who all like to drink) and we constantly had full drinks.  We had plenty of things to do between hanging out, pool, ping pong, beer pong, both kinds of darts, and plenty of arcade games.  Lots of tvs to make sure you catch your game!
