Fox and Hound Pub

We live at Birkdale so take friends and family to Fox and Hound often. It’s always a good experience. Staff is very polite, food is always consistent and good. Birkdale is a very popular and crowded outdoor mall so restaurants are expensive. Fox and Hound menu prices are very reasonable. I love their skewered chicken dish.

This is my third time eating here and I’m just… Meh. It’s good food but nothing special and the service is always just okay. Today, I was clearly still eating my fries and the waitress just took my plate! She wasn’t rude but just very absent minded and didn’t pay attention to what we were saying. It’s a good sports bar but just bland overall, nothing special.

Only got a one because the food was good. Waitress was completely absent and the manager refused to change the game even though every patron on the patio wanted to see a different game. Lousy time.

We decided to stop here for a bite to eat last night because most places were closing relatively soon. Once we got there we were seating quickly as it was very slow there. The waitress was polite and did a decent job. She spent a lot of her night sitting at the table next to us discussing her up and coming weekend plans. We ordered our food which was chips and queso (not good at all, could’ve poured from a jar), wings (so dry that they reminded me of national lampoons Christmas when they were eating there burnt turkey), salad (not too bad), grilled cheese (was good), and tomato soup (worst tasting thing we’d ever received. We didn’t even finish half of our food. We would probably not return if it weren’t for the 2.50 mini draft beer special. We will go back for the beer but I wouldn’t waste time on the food. We wanted to like it but just couldn’t do it :(

Stopped by time check it out and a very nice delicious lunch. Wife’s bday and she had the Tuscan flat bread. Very tasty and large portions. I had the fox and hound black forest. Good sandwich. Beer was ice cold and Britney was delightful friendly and informative. They also have a club you can join for free. You get a free app on your bday. Price was middle of the road.

Tried twice. Might try a third, which would be once every two years. If it doesn’t impress this time, I’m giving up on it.

It was just ok. I had a «Capri panini» which is basically a grilled chicken sandwich with cheese, spinach, basil pesto, and sundried tomato mayonnaise. The sandwich was decent, but the fries were awful– super soggy. My husband had the wings and he said they were just ok. I’m not sure that we would come back for any reason.

We wandered in about 11:30 last night for some appetizers and drinks. Fox n Hound has a great laid back atmosphere! I was so impressed with our service. For a busy bar our waitress was really attentive and we did not have to wait long for anything. Definitely a cool place to hang out!

Food was decent… definitely gone down over the years BUT service was better than in the past. Our server, Taylor K., was so sweet and wonderful; would come back to have the staff that was here tonight.

Good drink specials depending on the day. Good service is hit or miss. Televisions are definitely a plus. The food menu was definitely better before, but they changed it about 6m-​1yr ago and removed about half of the entrees. It’s a nice bar to grab a few drinks and keep it moving.

This was my second stop when i came into the area. Moved up from Greenville SC. I got there and all the tv’s were a big plus. The servers are all different and as there some rude ones, some are super helpful and friendly. The specials are good Tuesdays and Thursdays. Friday and Saturday night also good but the other weekdays without football are really slow.

Last time I was here was 07′ Hasn’t changed A Bit
Sure nice overpriced place to bring a date but on a Saturday evening the bar was dead. All that was there was a series of bartenders who kept asking me over and over again would I like to order. Not an exaggeration I said hold off 4 times and I had a water in front of me, obviously I’m trying to look around before I commit. On number 5 I asked the bartender would you like me to rent this spot? Then left. Take a hint and use your mind. They were trying to play like they were offering top notch customer service but the undertone was buy something or get out. No its not an exaggerated tale I’ve never been asked to order so many times ever anywhere.

The bartender on thanksgiving night didn’t do last call and ran our card without asking. Man that’s what I was looking for after a long hectic holiday. not…I respect you guys for being open but damn…

I’ve been to three Fox and Hound’s in the area (Northlake, Uptown, Huntersville). This location tries to have a more upscale pub feel. The service here is always excellent. The food is usually decent. I love getting the balsamic chicken flat bread and the pretzel bites with pub cheese are good. However, the steak salad is kinda yucky. I would avoid anything with steak here as it is very chewy and has a bad texture. 3.5 stars for food, 5 stars for service. This is usually a satisfying option and a good place to drink.

We wanted to grab a quick dinner and were looking forward to the specials tonight: half price wine bottles and half price appetizers before 6 pm. The food tasted okay, but the service was horrible. They were out of the Kris pinot grigio on the menu, so our server brought out a different wine. When we asked how much it costed, she did not know. She then told us that it was more expensive, but it was the cheapest wine they had. There were several cheaper bottles on the menu, but none were available on half price wine night. Hmm.
She then brought the bottle to our table and didn’t even bother to pour the wine into our glasses. Our food was brought to us in to-​go boxes. Not sure why? She said it was because we had said that we were in a hurry. The corn dog appetizer was burned. I ordered chicken nachos, and they came with no chicken. The manager was friendly and apologetic, but I don’t think we’ll be going back. It’s no wonder the bar was empty.

I came here to grab a drink with some friends while we were in the area. It was a pretty big bar area which was nice because we were a large group. There are several tv’s if you are there to watch a sporting event.
We tried their spinach and artichoke dip which was good, but their cheese wedges were delicious with the sweet chili dip. I highly recommend those. My husband also ordered their fish and chips and he was pleased with it as well.
They had a nice outdoor seating area with heaters which made it comfortable even though it was later in the evening and a bit chilly otherwise.

Food was not fresh, like out of a box frozen. Cold, hard stale bread. Cold fries. Rude server and slow service. Will not be back.

I love this restaurant, it’s a very convenient place for me and friends to meet for lunch and catch up. The food is always great, service is good.
Unfortunately I have had to remove them from places that I can eat at as they have chosen to post against lawful concealed carry. There are many other places in the area that I will patronize. Hopefully they will see their error and change their minds.

To whom it may concern,
I am appalled by tonight. I have been a patron for 3 years at your Birkdale location. I have come to know many of your staff (BOH to FOH) and like to think of it as the «Cheers» of the area. Huntersville is a very tight-​knit community and in saying this, everybody knows your name.
I visited tonight, as I do, once a week for Trivia. My server couldn’t have been better. I’ve been in the service industry for years on years. I know guest service. She was PHENOMENAL.
Unfortunately, that’s not the case…
To be totally transparent, one of your servers is an ex-​girlfriend of a close friend of mine. As we all know, things don’t always work out for the best. Regardless, I’ve stayed true to my local pub and continued to give my support, time, and money.
While in your establishment, I was assaulted!
Enjoying a fun night, NO. A server, by the name of Stephanie Taggart, threw a napkin towards my table. She then proceeded to throw a beer on me in passing! Thank my lucky stars, I wasn’t in business attire. Humiliated and very upset, I notified to closest manager. Dan (I apologize for not knowing his last name). Dan informed me that Stephanie said there was some ‘back n forth’…I’m guessing we had spoke to one another or something to that effect. No. Dan, did not apologize for the actions that took place and he didn’t so much as offer me a napkin/​towel to dry my back or my seat, which was saturated with left over beer. Instead, made me feel totally uncomfortable being there.
I regret to inform you, I can’t put myself in this situation again.

Its a lively bar that picks up later in the evening. Did not eat anything here, but came to enjoy a few drinks on their patio. Smoking is permitted on the patio, so perfect time to light up a cigar. Beer and cocktails abundant but lacking in the single malt selection.
The highlight of the place is the service, the crowd, the late nite DJ .and the patio for us cigar smokers…
