Brunch was amazing! The food and atmosphere at The Hound are unmatched. We got the Big Nasty (on a bun instead of biscuit), the Hound Breaky, and the Bacon Flight. If you get the chance, sit outside! There’s always a nice breeze and the music is top tier
We’ve dined here probably upwards of 10 or so times. We regularly come here for our anniversary each year as well as a couple times throughout the year. We’ve always had great service, but specifically, Bryson has happened to be our server twice recently & is just awesome. We were surprised that he even remembered us the second time because …

Our bartender Hensley(Henny) was amazing! Had a great …
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.
Simple solo dinner at the bar. Staff suggested shrimp & grits…rolled the dice and came away happy. Great flavor and the tails were removed. Hate trying to remove the tail shell in a dish with sauce and such. Really good meal.
The bacon flight and bread pudding is a MUST! We also ordered the Bison Burger and the Huevos Houndcheros and both were excellent! The servers were all so sweet and kind! They definitely made me feel very special on my birthday. Next time I am in town, this is the first place on my list!

What an amazing date night at the hound! We traveled in for the day and on a whim found The Hound via Google search of best food in Auburn and my goodness they did not disappoint. Even though we didn’t have a reservation they got us right in to a cozy corner high top table. We started off with a …
After a long day of airports, flights, rental cars, and travel, I found exactly what I was looking for at The Hound in Auburn, Alabama. Opened in 2012, The Hound has become an Auburn favorite by combining Southern hospitality with creative comfort food. I arrived without a reservation, was quoted a 10-minute wait, and was seated in less than five. …
