Look, I love the Fox and Hound. But there are some issues. If you come here, properly adjust your expectations. Cons: - The food is awful. Eat before you come or make arrangements for after you leave. - The service is spotty. There are a handful of good waitresses. But most are pretty awful. - Fairly expensive drinks. For the quality if food and the overall quality if service, drinks should cost less. - Total sausagefest. Lots of 20-30 year old dudes. Tons of douchebags and redneck posers will be here in the evenings. Pros: - $2 Tuesdays. Can't be beat. Their busiest day of the week. - $3 Wednesdays. All wheat beers on draft. Not bad. - Service. They have a handful of really good bartenders and waitresses. Char, Cassy, Allison, all great waitresses. Ask to be seated in their sections. Jen, Kelly, and the rest of the bartenders are really great too. Tip these ladies well.

I've tried this place a few times I just never learn. They are set up to be a sports bar, but they don't get it. They don't put the games on, the help doesn't know how to control the TVs, and the staff prefers the music video sound instead of the game sound. Avoid.

I've given it numerous chances, but it's my least favorite place to eat in the North Hills. I'd rather go to the Olive Garden than come here again. Im sure this is an okay place to drink, but if you've come here to eat -- especially at night -- then you'll find the experience miserable. It is beyond loud, as you're surrounded by every drunk twenty-something d-bag/d-baguette. The food, whenever it arrives, will be underwhelming or poorly prepared. I don't know why they bother asking how you want your beef, as it always shows up Well Done. The blackened chicken shows up cremated. While I don't do substitutions/omissions, my dinner partners' are usually ignored. And be sure to nurse your drink because it's unlikely to be refilled. If you want sandwiches, burgers, or American hot plates, save yourself the unpleasantries and go to Hal's or Dive Bar.

Service is absolutely terrible. I've been here on a weekly basis and it is unbelievable awful. I would never recommend coming here if you are looking for good service. The wait staff only cares about making money and not about the customer. This is the worst managed place I have ever been to in the north hills

And the award for most terrible bartending and waitress staff in the North Hills goes to this place. IF you get a drink make sure you sip it because you'll be waiting 45 minutes at least until you get another. Ordered a yuengling draft, and the waitress brought me a IC Light or Miller Lite. There is obviously a color difference in those beers. Not paying attention at first I took a sip of my beer and realized it wasn't yuengling. When the waitress finally made her way back around to my table I told her that I was pretty sure this wasn't the beer I ordered. Her reply was well I saw the bartender pour it so can I get you something else. Just avoid this place

I came here on a weekday evening and it was fairly busy. I liked how spacious it was and how many tv's they had around the whole place...enough to keep anyone busy. There was plenty of seating and a good sized bar. I loved seeing pool tables even though I didn't play. I was meeting a friend and we sat down for drinks. A waitress walked by and asked if I needed anything and I asked for a beer and water. She said okay and walked away for about thirty minutes. My friend went up to the bar to get our drinks during this time. While I sat drinking my beer, she came back again and asked if I needed anything (as if it was the first time she's seen me). I asked for water again and she disappeared...again. Hmm. I sense a pattern here. I gave up on the water. I never actually received any kind of customer service, which will keep me from coming back. Why ask when you're not even going to follow through?

Great menu selection. Food is unique, in a good way. The beer battered chicken strips were amazing and the sauce was very good. It is darker lit, but very clean. Pleasant atmosphere and staff, good portions and reasonable prices.

It has been a few years since I last stopped out at this North Hills tucked away bar and I am disappointed to see it have gone downhill. Located at the unfortunate and dilapidated North Way Mall this location already has a rough start for itself. tucked away above the moved Dick's Sporting Goods you find this bar fairly inviting from outside. With a name as Fox and Hound, your guess is correct to assume it is a sports bar. Once you walk in up a small inconvenient and useless 2 steps and past the unmanned hostess station, you immediately notice the rings of TVs throughout the space. Now the space itself is strange, you come into a single large open space that has table sparsely spread throughout it. Along the walls there are a few booth but nothing to speak of and immediately ahead is the large bar. [That is where my Bro and I sat]. There are two side rooms, one to the far left that holds billiard tables and presumably some dart board, very pub style while in the far right version the hall is filled to the rim with arcade machines. I would have looked at this more closely if I had had more time but the vibe was so unapologetic that I did not bother to peek around. Bro and I sat at the bar in search of a good burger. The bartender greeted us rather sluggishly, having obviously been on shift until the wee hour the night before and thrown out his back. [He was in his mid 25s but walked like twice that age - don't want to know what happened] I ordered waters for both of us and a large sized Sam Summer for the impending meal. Bro found quickly what his heart and stomach craved, the Barnyard Burger with Applewood smoked bacon, American cheese and a huge fried egg topping it. He came back with positive bites but what can i say he orders his burger medium. I on the other hand was quite torn. The menu was standard pub food, a few items across the board but I tore myself away from the loaded mac n cheese [I know, heartbreak] and went for the Cuban sandwich [something i never order]. First, I must start with some humor. I thought it was a huge salad, then I realized it was the two panini styled sandwich halves stacked atop one another. [oops] Things that were good: The pickles? or all things, the cheese, the condiments. Things that were bad: the ham was not working for me [it hasn't for the past couple dishes so it might be me] What saved the meal: The side of fries! I was beyond happy to discover that I had not had perfectly deep fried frenchies in a while. I understand that they were processed and not fresh cut but it saved me, the over dowse in salt and crispiness. altogether mediocre and dingy. For a sunday, there were no people in sight watching any sports and the atmosphere showed this damper. I will not be returning for a whil.e

Always a great place to come with friends for watching sports, playing pool, or even for their Wednesday weekly paintnite's. If you buy the groupon for paintnite.com , u can come to paintnite for $25. Drink and eat while you paint. Each week there is a designated painting picked out already. Go on paintnite.com to see if you like the painting for that night. The paintings seem to be seasonal. You may think the paintings are super hard but they honestly aren't too bad. There's always a teacher that goes step by step during the whole process. If you mess up, it's okay. It's meant to be fun and not too serious. Main part of the event is to drink and have fun. If you are ready to eat, I would definitely recommend the Ranch Hand Burger. The onion straws really up the flavor on this one. Pair it with a cold glass of Blue Moon and you're set!

We went here 4-5 times because people we work with kept winning free happy hours (some snacks are free, drinks are of course not). We also tried it out once for dinner on our own. We literally never had a good experience with the food or service. The evening we went there for dinner, our waiter disappeared for literally a half hour. We had no drinks and our food didn't show up. And we were one of maybe 2-3 tables, so I know the waiter wasn't busy with other guests. The food was super cold by the time it showed up. The bartenders and wait staff are never friendly. I hate it here and we will never go back, not even for a happy hour.

I don't know what else to say about this place that hasn't been said already, but I'll give it a shot. So, I have a friend that lives out of town, and whenever he comes back, I dread the fact that this place will inevitably be put on the table as a central meeting location. I guess the best way to describe this place is to imagine everyone you kind of didn't like in High School, add 20 years, and imagine the place that they would be hanging out, shouting at televisions, the chips on their shoulders growing more burdensome with each passing year. This bar is cavernously huge, and has TV's placed strategically, no scratch that, placed every fucking where that your eyes can go. Also, let's take a second out of this review to consider the name, and the fact that this place considers itself an English Pub and Grill(e) with a little e on the end of it to add...authenticity? Like after some fox hunt with a group of my favorite lads, the boys and I would go here to sip port and regale each other with rousing tales of the day's hunt, and legendary hunts of yore. And Leonard Fitzbottoms, that old scallywag, would eat so many bangers that his monocle would pop out! Shouts of "Here! Here!" and "God Save the Queen!" ring out lustily in our merriment. No. This will never happen. They do have a mouthwash dispenser in the bathroom, though. Ok, back on track. So this giant place, with a menu of things that you can find in any bar with a deep fryer, with a million TVs and a mess o' pool tables, and specials on Coors Light if you're feeling up to it, will never be hurting for business, because it is the embodiment of appealing to the lowest common denominator. It's an excellent business strategy. It can fit a ton of people, the food and beer are relatively inexpensive, and you can watch TV, and rinse your mouth out after you pee. But much like watching an episode of Two and a Half Men, when you're done, you're a bit confused as to what the deal was. And if you like that show, then you seriously need to check this place out.

Being from the city, my trip here last month was my first, but this is a staple for my North Hills friends. The place was much bigger than expected, with tons of TVs, pool tables, darts, and some arcade games. Servers were very friendly. Unfortunately the two behind the bar were a bit unpleasant but I cut them slack because its a long bar and they could have used another bartender (or two) to help.

Came on a $2 draft night. I ordered a Stella. I don't know what I got but it definitely wasn't a Stella. Every beer I had here tasted like butt, the bartenders are rude and good luck getting food. It never happened in the hour and a half we were here. Maybe if the waitresses worked instead of trying to flirt with the manager or stood in groups outside smoking, we could have gotten fed.

Service is awful. Great drink specials but we have a table of 12, been thirty minutes at 945 on a Wednesday and we just barely got first round of drinks. Meanwhile, two door girls and 2 managers look on. Terrible. You make money by selling food and drink- get selling !!!
