First off, let me start by saying that this was our 2nd trip there ever. Â We were there 2 years ago and the experience was horrible (food was bad, bathrooms were a mess, not enough seating for kids, etc.). Â We went back because we told them of our experience and the manager there sent us a gift card to come back. Â So this review is an update from then.
First of all, we sat in a booth in the dining area. Â I am certain that my seat was broken (although I didn't realize it until halfway through the meal). Â I was even playing with it as a man in red shirt with the restaurant name on the collared shirt (appeared as though he was a manager) was right near me and he was so focused on the Pirate game on TV he never noticed that the seat was broken or that I was playing with it. Â
We ordered our appetizer and the food and service was fast and our waitress was nice. Â She was very prompt and we both enjoyed our food. Â I had a bavarian sandwich and my wife had a salad and we had an appetizer of pretzels. Â We both agreed that the food was good and enjoyable. Â My only downside of the meal was that I upgraded my fries to onion rings and there were not very many onion rings. Â I was a little disappointed about that and in hindsight, would stick with the fries.
As for the drinks, I had a jack and coke and my wife had a blue moon draft (16 oz I believe). Â I was surprised to see that her draft (6.50) was more than my drink (5.50). Â I think that is a first for me where a draft beer was more than a mixed drink. Â They both tasted fine, but I know that others have commented about the prices of drinks in their reviews so I thought I would mention it and let you decide how expensive or inexpensive they are.
As for the atmosphere, please know a few things. Â This is not a place for young kids. Â We both decided it wasn't a bad place to go to hang out with friends but the atmosphere was geared more for a bar scene. Â There were music videos playing on the screen that seemed strange and weird and we both agreed again we wouldn't want our kids to see some of the images in the videos. Â There were pool tables in back rooms and again, it just seemed as though the atmosphere was more for adults.
The menu was much better from the first time we were there. Â To answer the question "Will we be back?", I would have to say that if we do go back, it will not be with our children.
I think I am a fan of Fox and Hound because I know when to go for the most enjoyable experience: Â Tuesday afternoons. Â Why? Â For a few reasons: 1.) Because on Tuesdays all drafts are only $2 a pint which is a great deal considering their draft selection. Â 2.) Because they have an afternoon lunch menu with some good specials. Â 3.) In the afternoon they are not usually very busy and therefore you won't have to wait with an empty glass. Â
Now that doesn't mean that I don't go at other times. Â Tuesday nights the place gets packed, mostly because of the $2 drafts. Â I've learned to order 2 beers at a time because the wait, whether you are at the bar or a table with waiter service, can be very long for refills. Â The service has been some of the best....and some of the worst. Â And I really can't pin down what the cause of bad service is because it varies from day to day and server to server. Â But overall I enjoy the food (I've often dreamed of their Newcastle beer battered chicken tenders) and their beer selection is always impressive. Â
I'll continue to frequent Fox and Hound and recommended it as a good meeting spot (usually on a Tuesday) because overall it continues to be a good deal.
Decent beer list, friendly service, tons of pool tables, dart boards, and shuffle board.
I've heard good things about the food; only been here for drinks. Â Lots of TVs if you want to catch a game. Â A little pricey on the booze, but no problems otherwise.
I would not go out of my way to come here, but my best friend lives a few blocks away, and that makes it a fine place to grab a few.
This is a sports bar and that's what you need to expect when you go here. Â They have a very wide array of beers (some of which are pricey) and the food is bar food (ie a ton of fried food and it's certainly not gourmet). Â Having said that, I enjoy going to watch a game here. Â They have plenty of pool tables, darts, and more TVs than you could ever watch. Â The service isn't bad and they come to check on you pretty frequently.
Review Source:Buy 10 get 10 wings free? Â Woodchuck on tap? Â BBQ/bacon/cheddar burger?
Heck yeah. Â These are all of my favorite things!
While it was a bit of a hassle to get there for happy hour from the city (McKnight Road is a utter disaster at 5 pm!), I would definitely go again. Â We went to watch Sid's return to the ice, and the amount of TVs left no bad spot in the restaurant. Â
Service was friendly and fast. Â Attentive and not annoying. Â She didn't seem to mind that we were sorta just there mostly for the game and were ordering kinda slow. Â
We got hot & honey and hot garlic wings. Â I liked honey hot better, but both were good. Â Woodchuck cider is pretty standard, but I always love it on tap more than the bottle. Â A place that puts such importance on Woodchuck so as to give it it's own tap has a little special place in my heart. Â I got the tavern burger (i.e. the BBQ/Bacon/Cheddar). Â Very good, but could use more barbeque sauce. Â Next time, I'd ask for a side of more sauce. Â Everyone else seemed to enjoy their beer/food too. Â
I'll remember this one for the next time I'm north of the city and want some good bar food.
This place is kind of pricey, so try to stick with the specials. I do like the atmosphere here, especially in comparison to the other bars in the area. It is nice inside and fairly large. I would stick with just getting regular bar food as well, such as burgers or appetizers. Most of the other foods aren't so good. I tried the chicken enchiladas and they came in the form of eggrolls!?
Review Source:I've been working off-site at our North Hills office this week, so some co-workers and I decided to stop here for lunch. Â Hooters-Meets-Bennigans-Meet-Applebees. Â Boy, talk about an uninspired menu!
This is purely bar food my friends, and nearly all of it fried. Â That doesn't mean the food is bad. Â It's just that it's nothing you haven't seen someplace else before. Â They do offer a $5.99 lunch menu which consists basically of sandwiches, burgers, and fish-n-chips. Â I chose the Field of Greens salad with blackened chicken, which was pretty good. Â
The emphasis here seems to be their variety of beers, but since I don't drink, it's a non-factor with me. Â The food here seems decent, so if you're looking for a burger-n-beer, you'll probably like this place.
Even though I've passed this place for years, I never quite made my way in. Something about its location in a shopping mall made it seem a little less attractive.
When it was time for holiday shopping, I changed my mind.
Even though the outside is plain, the inside has a surprisingly nice atmosphere. There are multiple rooms and nooks--you can sit at the bar, play pool, grab a table, or line up along a counter. There were also a bunch of TVs playing a mix of music videos and football games. The beer selection is above average.
A cool perk: Hundreds of personalized mugs hanging on the wall. Something about walking into a bar and pulling your stein off a hook seems remotely fun.
The wings were edible, but not a reason to come. The fact that you can get a half-Guinness, half-cider from the tap is.
