My husband and I came to dinner here for the first time last night and had a positive experience. We have driven past this place and seen it on Open Table many times, so we decided to make a reservation; however, we totally did not need to make one because the restaurant was dead.
As we walked in, a man who I believe was the owner, opened the door for us and welcomed us into the restaurant. He had such a positive personality and asked us how we were and what table preference we had (the bar, a high top, standard chairs, or a booth).
After we were seated, a really nice woman came to our table right away and asked about drinks. I really wish I remembered her name because she was an amazing waitress with a personable attitude. She constantly checked up on us, gave us our refills, and even told us about the rewards program on the app because we were able to get $10 off of our bill if we joined (which we did).
The restaurant itself was clean and had a beautiful open concept. The bar had colored lights attached which made it look cool, and they had tons of different taps. We were sitting in the main dining room at a high-top table surrounded by tons of TVs. To the right of our table was an extra room, which they probably use as their party room and extra dining room. We saw a pool table in there, and I know they also have shuffleboard, Jenga, and darts.
We were happy with the quality of our food. As an appetizer, we ordered buffalo chicken wings ($15). They were perfectly cooked, had a good amount of spice, and weren't dry. For my dinner, I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with crinkle fries ($14). The chicken breast on the sandwich was HUGE and had a great sweet and spicy flavor combination, and it included pickles and coleslaw on the sandwich, too. It was also extremely crispy. It was one of my favorite local Nashville hot chicken I have tried! The fries were good, but nothing unique.
My husband ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Mac & Cheese ($15.5) and it was HUGE. It came with so much chicken and was definitely worth the price. He really enjoyed it, but he said it was too spicy for him. He ended up ordering a side of ranch to pour all over it because not only does the chicken have the sauce on it, but the mac and cheese is served over the hot sauce, too! He loved the flavor and taste, as a whole, at least, but said he probably couldn't order it again because of the spice.
As I stated above, the bar has many different taps and has an extensive beer and cocktail menu. I ended up ordering a short Black & Blue (half Blue Moon, half Guiness) but it was $9 which was honestly crazy expensive for what it was. I don't remember seeing any of their beers have prices on the menu, so that was a bit annoying.
Prices as a whole aren't awful for the quantity and quality of the food you receive. Yes, the alcohol menu is expensive in my opinion, especially for a chain restaurant, but the food is pretty comparable to other restaurants in the area. We did not come here for Happy Hour, but I don't think their advertised Happy Hour prices are worth it for food, but they are for domestic bottles or well cocktails. You only get $2 off starters (excluding chicken wings) which normally are 1/2 off at other restaurants; $1 off draft beers which are already expensive so $1 doesn't do much, $3 domestic bottles, $4 well cocktails, and $5 wine by the glass.
Overall, we definitely recommend Fox & Hound. It is a chain restaurant, but there are only 4 locations in total. We will definitely be back and will try other entrees on the menu! They also have a list outside that tells you what sports games will be on their TVs, so that's cool, too, since it's a sports tavern.
