Houndstooth Grill & Bar

There’s a reason why there are many 1-star reviews lately and why there’s no wait time and plenty of parking! This place stinks. Don’t waste your time or your money. I had a terrible experience last week and I’ve even sent an email to the email listed on their website before posting here, but it’s been 5 days now and no reply so I will leave my public review! Management clearly doesn’t care and is not doing anything to fix the problems they are having. Had front row parking, walked in and immediately were seated. That should have been the first red flag, as it was a Friday payday and the other 2 places we tried to go to in the area had 40 minute waits. We ordered a cocktail and it took over 10 minutes to arrive. The waitress that brought it apologized and said she tripped and dropped the first one. She said that happens every day there. Clearly there’s some worker safety issues going on. Then for the best part! I ordered a steak medium well. According to THEIR OWN MENU it should have had a “hot pink center.” The steak I received did NOT have any pink at all. It was WELL DONE. On top of that, I had ordered the $30 filet and expected a filet….this was a top sirloin at best. It smelled like wet cat food and tasted like hamburger meat! Oh and there was mustard on the plate - no mustard was ordered with my meal. The dish was dirty. I quickly asked my server if I could have the steak re-done. She looked scared but said she would see what she could do. She came back and said the manager said “it was cooked to temp.” I asked to speak with the manager. Pam the manager came out and repeated that it was “cooked to temp” and that it was “medium well.” I asked her where is the pink on this steak? She pointed at my steak in general, not one specific spot, and said “right there.” I said ma’am this steak is not pink. It’s a $30 steak can I just get what I ordered? And she then goes on to tell me how it’s cooked to temp and that she’s been doing this for 50 years and that it’s a medium well steak and that we would just have to agree to disagree. She did absolutely NOTHING to remedy the situation, and I got left with a steak I wouldn’t even let my DOGS eat and a $76 bill!!!! Cotton Calf’s prices may be double that but I guarantee you they will make any issues right. Even Longhorns would have made it right! And they were the place with the 40 minute wait. Next time I will just go there! This place will be shut down in 6 months and the owners will be crying and wondering where did it all go wrong? THIS is where you’re going wrong. What happened to good restaurants and hospitality? Save your money and go anywhere else but this establishment.

Ordered a salmon BLT and got a lettuce sandwhich with 2 small pieces of salmon. We also ordered sprites and received kids cups full of ice with a dash of sprite. Will never order from this restaurant again.

Dinner was great! The green apple martini was a great start to the evening, so much so, I had another. We started out with fried green tomatoes and they were tasty. The steak was Soo delicious, and I'm picky about my steak. We finished off with apple cobbler and ice cream

We went in for lunch today 11/18/24 and the food was good but not as good as it used to be but our problem was the server and she was the blond out of the two that were working and her name was Vickie I think. She had zero personality and just seemed like she hated being there. She was quiet and borderline rude the entire time except when it came time to hand us the check . She has a great big smile and told us to “ have a blessed day.” It was just phony. We will go back but will not allow this server to wait on us again.

We came here for Father's Day. It's far from where we live but we were in the area. We ate here for dinner on Father's Day 2022. Host was very friendly. Made us feel welcome. Our waitress was awesome. She accommodated us and made sure that our food was exactly how we wanted. The calamari was the best I've had. All our food were great. The price for the entrees are fair. Everything is expensive nowadays. We got a sample dessert platter because it was Father's day. That was a treat. I definitely recommend. Great place, great food, great service!

We went for an early lunch for our anniversary. We shared the pretzel bites with jalapeño cheese which was had the right amount of heat. My husband had the rueben with sweet potato fries and he made such a mess with it as it was juicy (and of course I tried it and was delicious). I had the chicken avocado flatbread with a baby blue salad. I didn't realize it came with fries too! It was quite tasty, the salad was crisp, and the fries were so good. I normal don't finish my fries but these were very good. We ended our lunch with creme brulee and it was creamy and sweet. The perfect ending.

Appetizer dishes were dirty, chicken wings had a weird taste. Party of 6 and 3 had meat my husband and I ribeye was just warm no taste. None of us finished our meats. 1st and last time here, no wonder place was empty. Service was great our server was good. But the food was not.

Some entres were better than others. Steaks were thin and fatty but the Cajun pasta was very good. Fried green tomato appetizers were too mushy - should be crisp. Several items on the menu were not available to order. Service was good and friendly. There was no desert menu but the waitress had them memorized - nice! The raspberry walnut cobbler was quite nice but the creme brule was a joke. It tasted burnt and was obviously not fresh. Overall, decent value for the $$.
