I didn't expect to spend my night sitting at an uptown bar reminiscing about "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" or Tiffani Amber Thiessen in "Saved By The Bell" over a dirty martini. But for some reason, my friendly bartender at Fox and Hound Smokehouse in uptown was hooked on the '90s.
I typically don't like exploring chain restaurants and bars, but I always pass by the smokehouse and it is packed with people. So, I decided to drag a group of friends out with me and give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff and low-key atmosphere at Fox and Hound. We found a long stretch of seats at the bar where we sat and enjoyed a few drinks and snacks. The venue is perfect for a group because it's spacious and offered plenty of seating.
Aside from the occasional '90s sitcom reference, our bartender debated with the guys I was with about Panther' football and the NBA. They argued for a steady 10 minutes about if Kobe or LeBron was better.
While the boys talked sports, I checked out the menu. Dinner entrees ranged from $8 to $15 , while lunch options were a bit more reasonable and cost between $5.99 and $6.99. To accompany my drink, I ordered mozzarella sticks for $6.99. Apparently they were too delicious for my friend Andrew to resist because after he finished his basket of wings, he scarfed down my leftovers too.
Some of the weekly drink specials at Fox and Hound include Monday 45 cent wings, $2.50 Bud and Bud Light bottles, $4 Skyy and Bacardi u-call-its; Tuesday $2 Bud Light, Coors Light and Miller Lite drafts; Wednesday $3 Newcastle drafts and $4 Jack; Thursday $2 domestic drafts, $2.5 craft/import drafts, and $5 thin crust pizzas; Friday $3 Corona and Corona Light bottles, $5 monster bombs and $5 cheese nachos; and Saturday offers $3 Bud and Bud Light aluminums and $5 Cazadores margaritas.

Sounds like the Saucer is a better place to hang out if you're looking for a "chain" in Charlotte :)
Out of curiosity, if you don't like chains, why go to so many?
This place is still open?
Its dark in there.
Fox and the Hound??? Why not just go to Chili's or Taco Mac? Come on girl. Give us some local bars that are scattered throughout CLT.
So you went there with a group of guys - you didn't mention your boyfriend this time... see he MUST have been made up!
Did you go upstairs or downstairs? Upstairs has a few pool tables and some decent tv's.
So besides the appetizers you had - did you get any real food? There pizza is pretty decent.
worst chain in charlotte. food is terrible, service sucks, and alcohol is over priced! great place to pick!
no thanks! go to epicenter
