The Fox & Hound Restaurant in Raleigh, NC

The Fox and Hound Pub & Grille located in the North Hills Shopping Center is a fun place to go after a movie or a day of shopping. The atmosphere is comfortable, casual, and the food is outstanding. And, if you get nothing else from this review, remember fried Oreos!

Beware of tight parking, as the outdoor mall has many bends and curves and is always very busy. If you get there anytime between the hours of five and eight, parking is likely to be difficult close to the restaurant and it might be better to try parking in the lot connected to the Target.

Upon first entrance in to the restaurant, a hostess is waiting to seat all parties. We were greeted warmly when we arrived and seated immediately. The room we were seated in was off to the right side of the restaurant. There were plenty of people dining in that area, but there was little noise or distraction.

The service in general at The Fox and Hound was good. I would not say outstanding, but nothing I would complain about either. Our waitress was friendly enough, although not overly so. This was fine with me and my dining companion, although some people might prefer a server who was more attentive. For us, however, no real complaints. Our food was brought in a timely manner, and although we waited a bit too long for the server to take our dessert order, it was not a problem. We were girl chattering and could have chattered all night, so we were in no rush.

The food was by far the best thing about our experience, and as it is a restaurant, it should have been. I had the Ziti Alfredo, which is billed as "A Better Mac 'n Cheese! The classic tossed in a Parmesan cream sauce loaded with mozzarella" on the menu. This is an excellent description! It was delicious! Rich, creamy, and decadent and definitely better than Mac 'n Cheese! My friend ordered the Pot Roast and Mashed Potatoes. She seemed to like the pot roast but did not rave about it. However, she couldn't say enough good things about the mashed potatoes.
