| - After taking our kids to Discovery Place, my wife and friends went to get lunch. We walked into Duckworth's, and I immediately remembered when it was the Fox and the Hound. While the sign doesn't say that, and tables and decor that have been updated, the layout has not changed. The good news is that the food and beer selection has!
We had all visited the location in Ballantyne, so we were not expecting anything extravagant as far as food or service went, but we were pleasantly surprised. We ordered some beers from a very intimidating 150-tap beer menu, and then placed our orders. The waiter was excellent - his attention was focused on us, he was prompt and checked on us frequently. Already a good start!
I got a Chicken Philly, my wife a fried chicken sandwich with a side salad, and our friends ordered shrimp tacos and a chicken wrap. While I ate my generously sized side salad, handing cucumbers and cheese to the kids while my buddy preceded to make mean comments regarding my manliness because of my salad, I rebutted with the fact that it was delicious, fresh, and crunchy. My plate was cleared promptly after I finished, and well before our food arrived.
My chicken philly was tasty - it's not a Philly Cheesesteak from Philadelphia - hence ordering the Chicken Philly - but the hoggie was very good (soft inside, but slightly hard and chewy exterior) and the chicken was moist and flavorful. My wife's chicken was also pretty tasty, as were the tater tots our friends ordered. I did not get feedback on the shrimp tacos, but I will tell you that my friends plate looked like just out of the dishwasher, so they must have been good.
I was very impressed and surprised with our visit, it's a good place to grab a bite to eat and a sample plenty of beers uptown.
