A rustic-chic restaurant known for bourbon, bacon, and big flavors. I had the bison burger with duck fat fries — juicy and rich, perfectly paired with a local IPA. The bar has that cozy wood-and-leather look, and the staff make it feel like a small-town gem.

Came here while visiting from out of state for a football game. Our group of four was in opposing team apparel. On a game day we had a very fair wait and were treated kindly. Once seated our server was great. Friendly and attentive with well thought out suggestions. The food was great and was surprisingly fast. What a great place with true southern hospitality. Our family could not have been happier.

Coming from NY and Chicago where food it the top standard with the James Bared Awards I had to see what Alabama was all about. I had the chance to dine at The Hound in Alabama and really enjoyed the experience. My friend knew the owners there so I even got to meet the owners, a wonderful couple originally from California, who now own three restaurants in town. They were so warm and welcoming, which added a personal touch to the visit.
I ordered the steak, which was flavorful, though the cut I received was a little on the fatty side for my taste. That said, the highlight of the dish for me was the chimichurri sauce—an absolute must-have every time. It was fresh, vibrant, and paired perfectly with the meat. My friend got the fish and chips but swapped the chips for fries, they had No Vinegar fyi. It was still very enjoyable.
The atmosphere was another big win. Inside, the restaurant has a super cute and inviting vibe that feels both cozy and stylish. Love all the personal touches to the place like the hand made carved wood for the tables, the dear ornaments, clip board for the menu, and the bucket lights. It’s the kind of spot you could go for a casual dinner or even a special night out.
Overall, The Hound is definitely worth a visit—delicious food, great ambiance, and owners who truly care about their guests.

Rustic, hunting-lodge vibes with hearty portions. My venison meatloaf was savory and filling, paired with duck fat fries that stole the show. Service was friendly but a bit slow. Still, it’s a cozy, fun spot with a strong Southern identity.

Bacon shows up everywhere here (even in cocktails). I had venison meatloaf with mashed potatoes — rich, comforting, but still refined. Bustling, rustic vibe that feels lively without pretension.

We were seated 20 min after our reservation; during that time I forgot why I even called ahead in the first place. After waiting 45 min for our food, our waitress asked if we wanted ketchup. We said yes. She then said “Ok I don’t think yall need it” it happened so fast we didn’t have time to protest or correct her. So I ended up having to grab ketchup from the waitress stand myself, and when our waitress returned she interrogated us about why we needed ketchup. Absolutely ridiculous and embarassing for The Hound. I do not recommend eating here unless you want your mind to be blown for all the wrong reasons. Insane experience. Ps. Very limited menu.

This was our third visit to The Hound and it did not disappoint! Our waiter provided excellent service, the food was delicious and the restaurant was great. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. It was our daughter’s birthday. They had a special card at her seat and provided a complimentary birthday dessert. Perfection for this special occasion!

The dining room was fun, lively, and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was nicely plated and tasty! I had the bacon flight and chicken n dumplings, the latter being tender & juicy.

Absolutely love The Hound. The food is always wonderful and the service is superb but they really knocked out of the park on our most recent visit. We popped in for a late lunch and were lucky enough to have their rockstar bartender Hensley as our server. She is the BEST and went above and beyond for us!!!! Can’t wait to go back!!
