I really like the Fox and the Hound. It's a great casual American restaurant in the heard (literally, in the center) of Birkdale Village. They have outdoor seating as well. They have great beer specials, and can make almost anything you can order. Their food is quite good for American- bar-type food. Great burgers, wings, appetizers, pasta... And if you're a sport's fan, this is a perfect place to watch sports and kick back with a beer!
