Fox and Hound English Pub and Grille

Went with a friend to her company holiday work party. Food was 3/​5, I thought they should’ve marked «chicken, fish etc» because we couldn’t tell the difference. Loved playing life-​size Connect Four, Jenga and pool with everyone. Drinks were reasonably priced (two glasses of wine for $ 13) but the wait staff was hard to hunt down an hour into the party.

Very disappointed. …here for a News Year’s bash and they have no staff to cook and really not even enough servers to take care of everyone. Said 3 cooks didn’t show up. Management did not handle well and my guess is that the management is the reason 3 cooks did not show up.

Great bartender good wings my buddies enjoyed the French dipped sammy. Good time I recommend it. Great service.

We checked out the Fox and Hound as we heard that they always have Packer games on. As a Packer bar with some serious team spirit, this place is among the best I’ve seen. There was chanting of cheers, and green and gold all. over. this. place. As for the food, it’s about like a Buffalo Wild Wings — which is to say our buffalo chicken boneless wings were fine but tasted like they came out of the freezer. Also, the staff definitely struggled with the large crowd there for the game — our food took about 30 minutes (we just had the one appetizer). The guy sitting next to us waited an hour for his salad (which was supposed to come first but didn’t) and burger. The waitress was very friendly though, and the beer was cold.

It is a clean place and the staff are fine. The food is uninspired and apologetically executed. Yes, those are technically chicken strips. They are neither good grown up chicken strips or zany fun chicken nuggets. They were dumped from their frozen food service bag and into a deep fryer and then put on a plate. The space is lovely and they have pool tables which are super fun but then they turn on a bunch of sport ball and crank up different sound sources so you can’t have a conversation or really think over the blare of competing tv’s. The bar service tries just as hard as the food service to be exceptional or exciting. I wish the name and the look of the place led the quality of the experience. I’d love a fun traditional pub type place but it seems like they would rather try to be a night spot or a sports bar that serves lousy food and boring poorly mixed drinks.

Unilocaler Sarah C. got it just about right when she said, «the drinks were good. And that was about it.»
It’s an ok place. I can’t bring myself to find another reason to come to Fox and Hound other than $ 2 Tuesday when ALL pints are $ 2.
I’ve watched a Pacers game or two here and it was a better atmosphere than expected — but with so many other options for drinking, sports, etc. in the Indy area, I left feeling underwhelmed.
Not bad, not necessarily «blow you away» good either.
I’ll leave this one up to you to decide.

We happened upon this pub when were in the mood for a food quickie. Rob had been to a Fox & Hound in another state, so we decided to give this one a go. It had its ups and downs, but overall an OK pub to relax and have a few drinks.
Friday night, and the place was dead. But I’m weird and I like having space to stretch my legs. Light music, low enough to chat with friends. There are two wings on either side of the bar where there’s an abundance of seating, games and TVs. We decided to get some grub before getting into games. The drunken chicken tenders were sounding pretty good, and they were totally worth it! Beer battered chicken with some honey mustard. O.M.G. These things disappeared waaaaay too fast. Light, crispy batter covering moist chicken tenders. Ugh. I want some right now. So freaking good.
The drinks were a less impressive though. The specials that night included top shelf long islands. Ooooh, yes please! After two, I felt like I’ve just been drinking stale liquor all night. It just want doing it for me. Also, we tried getting some mozzarella sticks and a cookie desert, which kinda sucked. The sticks we’re dry, and the cookie was seriously undercooked. But or waitress was so cool and replaced them with some more yummy chicken.
Our waitress was super down-​to-​earth and easy to talk with. When we asked her what she thought of certain things in the menu, she answered truthfully. That’s rare. But she was attentive, friendly and helpful.
The games include pool (about 6 tables), darts (4 boards with cricket scoreboards), cornhole, giant connect four and giant Jenga blocks. We had a blast playing darts for a change. The boards are in a cozy corner, away from the rest of the bar. The Jenga blocks sit on a coffee table surrounded by a leather couch and chairs. The décor is a more traditional sports bar look. Three to four TVs in each space with different channels playing different games.
Maybe because we’re getting old, but this place fit our needs fairly well. Not crazy loud or dark, and plenty of activities to keep you entertained… even when you’re not drinking. I’d totally hit that again.

The last time I came here I thought that the food choices they have here are alright. Visiting this place only because of the wrestling ppvs that they would do before the wwe monthly subscriptions.
My biggest complaint was how they would have giant tables for everyone in one room. When you walk in you would have to pay about 5 dollars a person for an armband which strangely reminded me of a fair event. They would have a limited amount of tables that you would have to struggle to find seats as immature customers would play the «this whole table is saved» game. Our waitress was rude when I would try to place an order as she was flirting with my fiancé next to me the whole time. I have never had that kind of behavior happen in any other restaurant before and thought it was very unprofessional.
I do not want to return due to my experience that I have had.
Again, Food was okay as it reminded me of a fancy Steak N Shake.

There’s really only a few good things about this place, and none of them have to do with food.
Fox and Hound is open until 3am everyday (although Unilocal says 2am, so maybe it’s changed recently). Either way, it’s really nice during the week because most places close at midnight and sometimes ya just wanna stay out a little longer. They have pool tables that are charged by the hour and plenty of TVs for any game that might be on. They have projection monitors on the two wings, which is great for big games. To compliment these few good things, they have decent drink specials. Not the greatest specials, but they’re worth it if it’s all you’re going for.
The food is bad. This place cuts the corners and they fall flat on their face because of it. The plates are actually trays, and are a tad too small to comfortably enjoy any meal. I ordered a pork sandwich, and was told that they were out. The waitress laughed about it which really annoyed me. I was ready to finish my beer and go back home but she came back and said «I found some». I shouldn’t have agreed. The fries tasted good, but the pork was microwaved and tasted like trash. I could microwaved dog food that would have come out better than this sandwich.
If you want a couple drinks and to watch a game or play pool, this is a great place to go. If you want food, either stay home or go somewhere else. This was the first time I’ve been to Fox and Hound since I’ve gotten Unilocal,but I had been here a handful of times in the past 6 months. Nonetheless, it’s the same story every time: Open pool tables, good drink deals, and horrible food. If my friends and I could find a better late night option in the area, I would probably never see the front door of this place again

Caribbean Jerk wings are hotter than hell. Lips burning like Fire. More than bargained for. Thankfully, great service with drink refills.

The food was pretty good at this place. That is the ONLY positive thing I have to say about this restaurant. It took over 45 minutes to get our drinks, and the waitress didn’t even both coming by to offer an explanation or take food orders in the meantime. The place wasn’t crowded either so there was no excuse. The service was TERRIBLE, and it took an additional 40 minutes just to pay our tabs. We will not be going back to this place. There are much better places all around the area that can provide both good food AND decent service. Honestly one of the worst dining experiences we have had in years. Oh, don’t both complaining to the manager either! He could have cared less when we expressed our unhappiness with the service and did not even come over to the table after one of our guests sought him out.

This Fox and Hound location has slowly gone downhill over the past couple of years due to bad management, bad corporate decisions and increased competition from new and renovated bars in the area. Tuesday nights used to be huge here because their special was $ 2 drafts. The new Tuesday special is a staggered arrangement of $ 2, $ 3 and $ 4 drafts (not as exciting), and the crowds have decreased. Fox and Hound attendance has gone down a lot in general. It’s not uncommon for it to be dead on a Friday or Saturday night. Every day, half of the bar seats are usually taken by middle-​aged regulars that are provincial and act like they run the place. The one time it’s really busy is during Green Bay Packer games because of a Packer crowd that fills the left side room of the restaurant. In the past couple of months, there has been almost a 100% turnover of their staff, which usually isn’t a sign of a well-​run organization. If they can’t keep some solid bartenders and servers on staff, they will be in trouble. However, Fox and Hound has good bar food, it has a pretty good draft beer selection and it’s a good place to watch a game. They’ll play the game’s audio instead of music for big games.
Fox and Hound has been on the decline, but they do have some good things to offer and they’re not dead yet. Here’s to hoping they can turn things around.

«Packer Backer» here… Have to say — love this place on Sunday’s to watch the Packers game. If you’re a Packers fan in Indianapolis — you need to get here! The food is pretty decent, the beer selection is accommodating, and the atmosphere is great! But if you’re coming for a Packers game — arrive early because the room will fill up with dozens and dozens of fellow fans.
For our most recent visit, we got two large lunches and two beers for under $ 30 — so the price is right! With Sunday specials offering $ 3-​$ 4 beers!
The service was okay — considering how busy they get — it’s easy to understand that it’s not A+ game.
Definitely recommend for everyone — but if you are a Greenbay Packers fan in the Indy area — its a MUST!

Ate at the Fox and Hound for a work party recently and it was pretty average. I got a sandwich that was good with a side of sauteed spinach which was excellent. The service was ok at best, but considering there were 40 of us I guess that is to be expected.
Overall cool vibe though, there is pool and shuffleboard. Would be a cool place to come back and catch a game or something.

Our server was good (but he is actually from another store, just here to train the Indy servers for a week), so I can’t attest to the service of the normal crew. The grilled cheese and tomato soup was good — the sandwich was really big. Good beer selection, everyone seemed satisfied with their food (standard pub fare I would say) and they also have pool tables and lots of TVs if that is your thing.

Tuesday for $ 2 pint night is the night to come to the fox. Everything on tap counts if they have it, but they do tend to run out of some of the good stuff. Food is ok… Got the steak tacos the other night, don’t expect many dressings like sour cream, guac, or a lot of flavor. They also don’t give you much salsa, but it’s edible.

I have been coming here for many years just to watch football. It’s my favorite place because they have NFL ticket.

The fare here is pretty run of the mill grub, and there is nothing wrong with that. It’s more of a place to gather en masse for televised events or to indulge in any number of their fun drink specials. It tends to be a bit on the loud side and, without extraordinary food or drink to compel me, it’s just not a great venue for what I’m usually looking for.
What I do like about Fox is the hot honey wings. They’re scrumptious! Fox has also been above average for me on the carryout front. The staff is always smiley and pretty efficient when I stop in to grab an order of these wings to go when the crave hits. So, although this may not be the best dine-​in experience, in my humble opinion, they keep me coming back with their friendly attitudes and crave-​able hot honey wings!

Fish n’ Chips and Mac n’ Cheese were very good, very. The drinks? Very bad.
Walked in and noticed a deal on the margaritas and since it was happy hour I couldn’t resist. BUT the marg was basically green Gatorade with some tequila. IT was very unappetizing.
Our waiter was very accommodating and replaced our drinks as we complained they were not what we were hoping for and did not charge us so that was very appreciated. We sat outside but unfortunately that is is the parking lot and not a very relaxing atmosphere.
The portions were not generous for the price and after the whole margarita disappointment, I’m just not interested in returning. The Fish was delish though, it was.

As soon as I walked into the door I was asked to give me ID. (Ok, this is common considering I still appear to be 12 to some folks — yet I’m a month from 25.) The girl at the door did not believe me that I was of age because my ID was vertical. HA. I laugh. Me: «Did you happen to look at the date on the card?» Girl: «Oh. No, sorry.» Maybe she’s new? But let’s pull it together, people. When checking IDs, don’t you automatically check the date?
The drinks were good. And… that was about it.
Not much of a scene. I was thoroughly creeped out by the guys that were floating around the place. Where did these people come from?! Maybe it’s because I don’t spend my after hours hitting up the Castleton scene very often and I’m just not accustomed.
