Shrimp N' Grits
Bill V.

The food was very good. The service was amazing. We had an excellent waitress. The restaurant is nicely laid out and clean. I would not consider this "fine dining" at all. It's more of a southern fusion type place.

We have visited the Hound several times, each time very memorable. The steaks are delicious, and the service is excellent. The ambiance is a little dark, but ok.

Big nasty
Tyler M.

Very good food and cool atmosphere. Their specialties are bourbon and bacon so I recommend the bacon flight and a bourbon drink on their cocktail menu. My wife wanted the pepper jelly app, which was a good balance of spicy with the jalapeño and sweet of the jelly. I really want the bacon flight next time so will likely not get this again but it was good. Then I had the Big Nasty which is a fried hot chicken sandwich with fried egg and aioli. Excellent sandwich on a buttermilk biscuit. Definitely recommend

This was the cutest spot ever. I visited on a Sunday after 1 pm and there was as 15-20 minute wait. While I waited, I visited the bar to have an orange-pineapple mimosa which was delicious. The wait wasn't long at all so they exceeded my expectation. The environment was not loud or crowded. It was just right! Cindy was the waitress and she was such a pleasure. She provided information on what "Bacon and Bourbon" meant, recommendations on popular meals and suggested nearby sports bars to watch a little NFL since I was in the mood for that. However, there are televisions there at the bar. I order med the Farmer's Omelette without potatoes with a side of cheese grits and bacon which was made in-house. The omelette was HUGE!!! I had tons of leftovers. I look forward to visiting this establishment again in the near future as it was a quick trip from Columbus, GA. Check it out for yourselves...you won't be disappointed.

Food was amazing - great service! Grits were the best! Make a reservation - they are popular!

Bison burger
Jason S.

So I'm very particular about a mushroom and Swiss burger. I have my favorite place back home in White Bear Lake, MN and any other mushroom and Swiss burger usually lets me down. So, with some trepidation, I ordered the mushroom and Swiss bison burger at The Hound. I was not disappointed. I ordered "some pink" and they got the cook on it perfect. It was delicious as were the fries. I ordered a local pils and it was a great pairing. Sat at the bar and service was attentive. Ambiance was on point. Upscale southern bar is how I would describe it. Place is a bit hard to find. Set back off the street address so be sure not to miss it. Will most definitely be back.

Food was outstanding! I had the burger with fries and my wife had salad with grilled shrimp. Then we split a vanilla pie with ice cream Wow! Staff was very friendly gave great service. Ambiance was perfect!

This was a great meal. It's been about 10 years since I've been, so I was glad to see that this place is still alive and well. I ordered the Berkshire porkchop. It was a massive cut of porkchop served over bacon fried rice. The porkchop had an Asian style marinade with sesame seeds on it. The marinade and cut of porkchop was primetime on point. However, it came out pretty much well done. Still a fantastic cut of marinated meat, but the medium finish would have made it more juicy and flavorful. The bacon fried rice with pepper jelly-sweet chile sauce was an excellent combination of savory and sweet. It had a smidge too much soy sauce (saltiness) to me, but otherwise, I really enjoyed it. Great draft beer selection as well.

Our attendant was Faith - she took very good care of us. We enjoyed talking with her. We give her A++ for doing a great job. Also compliment the young man who cleaned and set up tables AND made sure we had a full glass of water. He said it was his third day on job and he did a wonderful job for being "new". The ambiance was very nice - every person we talked with was very friendly and pleasant. The restaurant was full but the service went smooth. This was our second visit and we plan to come again.

I believe it effected some of the flavors of foods that were boiled in it, too. Gnocchi had some of the same off flavor. In addition, some of the flavors just feel way out of whack for totally unrelated reasons. Sauce that the duck came in was thin and overwhelmed by honey. The risotto it was served with seems like it should be rich and homey. But despite a crazy amount of added dairy still tasted thin and flat. Can't tell you why. Wonky seasoning? None of the dishes reflected any familiarity with acid to lighten or balance a dish. Fried green tomatoes were pretty mid despite a quality remoulade and a bunch of pimento cheese. Ingredients seem like they're decent quality. Desserts are legitimately top notch. Everyone recommends the peanut butter pie. And it is excellent, though pretty obviously not long out of the freezer. The affogato Is legitimately fantastic. And I'm not even talking about the pageantry of dumping the espresso on the salt ice cream. The combo is legitimately satisfying, like a well-rounded creamy candy. The plates are funky and cool and beautiful. The staff all seem like they're 19, attractive, and gregarious.

Took my wife here for a date night. We don't get to go out much so I figured that it would be…read morespecial for us to try something new. Let me start by saying the building is beautiful and the atmosphere feels like a nice restaurant. Also, the cocktail menu was definitely curated by someone who knows what they are doing. The appetizer Barrotta cheese was the best part of the evening. With that being said, the entrees were lackluster and small. Our food came out lukewarm at best and honestly seemed like not a lot of thought went into them. I know that this restaurant is supposed to be upscale, but I don't think I should pay 55$ per persons meal and still leave hungry. Also, the staff needs training. The whole time it felt like they were concerned with fast turn over and nothing else. Part of upscale dining is that the price of food and quality of service is more important than turn over time. Generally speaking I will not be back to eat here again.

We came Valentine's Day weekend from Columbus, GA after attending mass. He really wanted to take me here and I'm so glad he did. We had the bread and butter which was to die for! I think they gave us too much butter over bread ratio, but l'm not complaining haha. So warm, soft, fluffy and delish the bread was. I don't think we talked much when we had our wagyu steak main course cause it was so good, we couldn't say a word to each other. The pepper sauce with the perfectly cooked medium rare steak (which came cut in two pieces, which is a really genius move to serve steak by the way), with white asparagus, caramelized onion, rose petals, and just pure deliciousness. Literally chef's kiss. We also couldn't make up our mind about desserts cause they had a Valentine's dessert menu and the couple sitting next to us also recommended the cookies and milk. Yeah- I'm really lucky and very spoiled. Definitely hit a sugar high, but absolutely worth it. Servers and greeters were also all so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend :) I think this is the nicest dinner anyone has ever treated me to. Thanks for my amazing boyfriend- I'm so grateful.

There's a particular kind of joy in feeding your college kid something that didn't come from a…read moredrive-thru window or a dining hall steam tray--and this place delivers that joy in butter, spice, and just the right amount of indulgence. Tucked into Auburn's dining scene with an upscale-casual pub charm, it's become our daughter's favorite spot to "take us" when we visit--which tells you everything you need to know. After a semester fueled by ramen and an alarming quantity of Chick-fil-A, she heads straight for the spicy penne crowned with perfectly cooked filet medallions. A wise choice. They don't take reservations, and yes, you may linger outside awhile on a busy night. Stay. It's worth it. For those of us with Gulf Coast roots, the menu reads like a love letter: blackened catfish done right, crispy crawfish tails, and cheese-laced grits that feel like a warm welcome home. The fried green tomatoes are a standout--golden, crisp, topped with grilled shrimp, and finished with a balsamic glaze that somehow works beautifully, even if it strays from tradition. The shrimp and grits, the catfish, the pasta--all hits. Cheesecake for dessert, especially if you're loyal to a graham cracker crust, is non-negotiable. Dim, cozy, a little whimsical (don't skip art in the hallway to the bathroom), and staffed by people who seem genuinely happy you're there. We'll be back. Often. --Chance & Becky *All Ahead Slow*

A friend & I got to drop in for lunch, and it did not disappoint. The decor hasn't changed much - it's still comfortable & clean. There's free parking in the front & sides of the building. Love: service (kind, helpful); lobster egg rolls (crispy, delicious filling); turkey wrap (soft lavosh bread, dip in honey mustard & tzatziki); sweet potato chips (best in the restaurant game); toffee cake (moist, added praline pecans for crunch)

Garrett suggested Amsterdam for lunch. Located near the Auburn campus, Amsterdam is one of more well known eateries off campus. Students may not have eaten at Amsterdam, but most can point you in the right direction. I've been tricked by appearances before but Amsterdam is in a category of its own. There's a front and a back part of the building. But I didn't know that until we were led to our table in the back. The front part is a typical "smallish" restaurant with tight booths and tables. The decorations of impressionist painters adorn the walls giving the front dining room a warm inviting feel. When we were led to our table, I thought I was being led to the restrooms. We actually went past the restrooms down a small flight of stairs and into another large room. This beautiful back room was oozing the "hidden wine cellar" vibe throughout. There were tables and chairs in the center with smaller tables and chairs lining one wall and booths on another. Then there's a large full service bar lining the 3rd wall and a workstation on the 4th wall. The ceiling with hanging panels of wood moved the light beautifully and impressed me. There was also a large floor to ceiling wine rack next to our 4 top. Gary tried their Omelet. Three eggs served with conecuh sausage, bacon, onions, peppers, cheddar cheese, and potatoes. With the sourdough toast, the plating was immaculate. I didn't get to taste it, but Gary didn't have any deiicions/ Garrett opted for their Brunch special: Apple & Pecan Freeman toast. When it arrived to our table, we immediately noticed the large slices of French toast. As promised, the French toast was topped with slices of peaches and apples and butter brown sugar with white powder sugar as well. Again I didn't get to taste, but I savored it with my eye. Paul and I tried the Amsterdam Burger. He got some fries as his side, but I upgraded my side to a beautifully plated side salad. With the added fried egg, my patty was grilled to a perfect medium with just a hint of pink. Stacked with it was some lettuce, caramelized onions, applewood bacon, spicy pickles, tomato and their traditional burger sauce all squeezed together between 2 bun halves, it has to be stabbed with a long food pick to hold it together. It was juicy, tasty and just Yom Yom Yom Yom. Our server was attentive and checked on us frequently. Other notable menu items include fried brussels, lobster egg rolls, rum salmon, breakfast croissant, snickerdoodle pancakes, steak & eggs, egg white omelet and shrimp & grits. I was told their Crab Cake & Avocado is to die for. Meal prices are on the high end but Amsterdam understands how to elevate Southern comfort food.
