Fox & Hound English Pub & Grille

Always had neutral experiences here, food is whatever, service was friendly — but will not be going back to this place ever.
When there is a sports game on, food takes long, I could have cared less about the hour wait, but when the waitress openly argues over what you ordered and then tries to charge you for it, well, that sums it up. Manager just said he knows she has an attitude… way to be proactive
Sad thing was, the girl she was training was great and was trying hard — won’t ever be back

The food is always good. Though the service is almost always sooo slow. It’s close to me and a good place to watch any of the games going on so a few of us hit up fox and hound every once in awhile. Last weekend we went for the pens game, it was packed but not insanely busy. My god was the service the worst I’ve ever had. I work in the service industry and believe me, I NEVER complain. But this was so bad. We ordered food 3 times… We literally never got our food. We stayed through the game and even a little after. Come on now. How ridiculous. It was embarrassing because I brought friends in that aren’t from around here. No a good time.

Awful food, service and beer prices. The place is dingy and dirty. I’m surprised the health department doesn’t shut it down, to be frank. It’s one of those corporate joints where they have ZERO plans on remodeling.

We went in last weekend for the Pens game. The service was the worst I have ever received, ever. We ordered food between the first and second period (first intermission) and did not get it until the 3^rd period. We ordered nachos and flatbread. We also timed the waitress, from the time we placed the drink orders (two draft beers) until the time we received the drinks, and it was 18 minutes. That seems excessive for two draft beers. They were not that busy, which is why we went there. We were thinking, less crowded = better service. Nope.

OK so I’m gonna start this on a good note— service was 5 stars. She was adorable & really friendly. Even the manager Ryan who asked how everything was going was friendly. The long island was strong & on special for $ 6 (fridays). the space is huge (like 3 rooms plus a patio) and the mix of music was on point.
Unfortunately the food didn’t add up to everything in front of the house. I went with the 4 hour pulled pork sandwich. It had a huge portion of pulled pork, Cole slaw on the bottom & crispy onion straws on top. It came with a side of Parmesan fries. My bf ordered the loaded Mac & cheese which had chicken & bacon.
First, the pulled pork was wayyyyyy too tough. I’m a fan of pulled pork but 4 hours on high will make it tough. 8 hours on low & that ish would’ve been perffff. Also, it had a weird heat to it… Still can’t figure it out. Unfortunately I couldn’t finish it. Too tough & I was craving a sweet (or at least not hot) BBQ sauce. My Parmesan fries didn’t resemble Parmesan, they were cold and the portion was small. My bf also didn’t have too many good things to say about his mac n cheese & also didn’t finish it. $ 40 later and we left hungry and kind of upset. The server was great so when Ryan asked how everything was we agreed it was OK. I didn’t want to make a scene and I’m sure if we would’ve stuck with drinks and apps, it would’ve been fine. (Someone’s boneless wings looked good!)
Fix the BOH and the ratings on this spot could really change. Also its called an English pub but it was just regular pub food… Wings, pizza, specialty sandwiches, salads ect
Sooo…
Service: 5 stars
Drinks: 4 stars
Food: 2 stars
Round it to 3 stars. Sorry :(

We stopped in here for their $ 2 pint Tuesday’s. I didn’t know if they were going to have this special due to a Penguin’s playoff game but I was pleasantly surprised they did. We had a party of three and were seated quickly. Despite the entire restaurant and bar being completely full, our server Nick did a great job despite being somewhat or seemingly under staffed. The wings, pizza, fish tacos, and Cuban sandwich were extremely tasty along with the $ 2 local IPAs.

The area is nothing exciting and it hardly looks open from the outside. That being said the pool tables are well kept and on Tuesdays it’s only $ 4/​hour to play! The beer selection is decent and the food is regular bar food, think Applebees. If it was closer to me I would totally go here instead of a movie, cheaper and more fun! I only had a quesadilla but I would do it all over again! Free wifi, tons of room and an arcade in the corner with darts and other games for those who hate pool. Best of all the place doesn’t have that normal Pittsburgh cigarette smell. I would say if you haven’t been and are looking for something decent to do get off your couch and go check it out!

Fish & Chips wee really good. Ribs fell off the bone, and they pour a real Black & Tan using Harp and Guinness.

Cover charge for Saint Patrick’s day?! «oh it’s for the specials» which weren’t that good anyways. Okay bye we’ll go elsewhere. #displeased

Pleasantly surprised by the food. The Buffalo Chicken sandwich was nice and crispy and the parmesan fries were tasty. The Pants on Fire Chili Queso was not very spicy, and the chips were nice and crunchy (not stale by any means). The salsa on the side was fresh tasting. A good variety of beers including ales and lagers, which seem to be getting harder to find in favor of IPAs and overly hoppy beers.
Good enough to grab a drink and watch a sports game, plenty of TVs!

Not bad for a Fox & Hound. We came on New Years Day as we were driving through from Ohio to Washington DC to watch the Michigan-​Florida game. The waitresses were very attentive to us (though, there was really only a handful of people around!)
Good bar food at a decent price. I had the tomato soup and grilled cheese with bacon. I really liked the combination of food (although I went into a coma induced slumber when I was supposed to be helping to watch the road. Oops.)
I’ve been to other Fox & Hounds and their food was overall very disappointing, sub par bar food. Here, it wasn’t too bad.

WORST. SPORTS. BAR. EVER. Missed the entire first quarter of a game because the manager kept telling me the game would come on after the post game, even though it was on Sunday ticket. Meanwhile they have the same game on 85% of their tvs because he can’t figure out how to switch the games when the 4pm games start. It would be understandable if u weren’t a sports bar. THEN, the best spot to watch the last 3 quarters is in a separate dining room, so, of course how is the waiter supposed to notice me… again my big problem is they r a SPORTS BAR and the guy in charge of the tvs seems like he’s never watched a sports game ever. I get its in Pittsburgh but when u root for an out of market team, u should be able to go to sports bar to watch any team… so pathetic!

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

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.

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?

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
, 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
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!

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 !!!

Well we’ve now played through 5 full games of pool and have yet to even speak to a server. Just saying.

Really enjoyed their menu selections and yummy cocktails, but service was a slow and forgetful.
