We have been to the Flying Hound four times -twice for meals and twice for drinks. It's one of those places that you always leave saying, "why don't we come here more often!?"
The atmosphere is great. Very clean inside and a spacious patio with a fire pit for chilly evenings. Big bar to sit at and both bar tables and booths for different dining experiences. Every time my husband and I have gone there has been different beers on tap, and we always find something we like!
The food is awesome. We have eaten off the Regular menu (good burgers) and have had the fish fry. It was one of the few fish fries in town that didn't leave me in a grease coma afterward, which was much appreciated. The French fries are delicious. It's not even like they have special seasoning, they are just really really good.
The service has always been quick and friendly, and as we found on our last trip, extremely flexible. We ran into friends and the staff was great about us drinking together, eating apart, and then rejoining as a group for after dinner drinks. It is a bit pricey compared to similar spots on the West side,but the experience and quality makes it worth it.
