This was the worst experience I have ever had. The food was so so. The service was completely unacceptable. The waitress would disappear for over 20 minutes and when she came back she acted like there was nothing wrong!!

We asked her if we could place a to go order at 7:00pm and at 7:26 I went to find a manager because she never came back. I was told the manager was too busy to talk to me. The waitress finally came back and now we have to sit and wait for our to go order even though we tried to order it while we were eating. Such a waste of time!! Poor service and poor management!! The table next to us had the same issues and their order was messed up!

Just got back from there, I had the mixed seafood plate. It was really good!! We got there right at 11am and nobody was there yet. It filled up fast just past 12:30pm.

We'll be back as everyone in our group really loved the food!

Servers could be a little bit happier, would be my only critique. Which is minor, of course.

So I went to a block party today new to the neighborhood and tasted their food (houndstooth) it was good so I decided to bring my family there for dinner. When we went the nice hostess sat us down. We waited for 15 mins no one came and greeted us or even said I will be your waiter and I'll be back nothing. So I started to take my family and leave. (Plus it wasn't crowded at all) Then all of a sudden someone came as we began leaving. By then it's too late first impression was alot. I cant help think maybe because we are a blended family..... hmmm won't know now. Won't be going back. Oh well money to spend somewhere else.

Awesome food with great prices. My group went back the next day because the food and customer service was great!!! I will definitely be back when I m in the area again. The staff was very nice and welcoming.

The food was good service was horrible. We had to beg for refill of our WATERS AND COKES. At one point my huaband had to go to the hostess to ask where our waiter was. They need better service. I will not recommend this due to services!!

Loved the Ambiance. I sat at the bar, it was warm and inviting, and this was during the daytime, but still very cozy.
I ordered a Sam Adams, and got a menu. It was Prime Rib night, I was going to order that, but changed my mind, and went with the Filet Minion, I was glad I did. It was perfect, with the grill lines and everything. I ate all of it, not one piece of fat at all. That along with a nice Baked Potato, I felt so good, haha. I wasnt done though, had to get desert, had the Creme Brulee, it was soooo good!!!
I will be stoping there again, if Im near Atlata, Definately!!!
Prices were Fair
Food was Great, and lots of Charm, great service too.

It was amazing!! My husband and I came here for our 1 year wedding anniversary and we are so glad we did!! The wait for our dinner was a little long but it was so worth it!! I had the lobster tails and my husband had the stuffed chicken breast!! And the creme brulee was delicious too!! Definitely give this place a try!!

I visited the restaurant 2 weeks ago and ordered the avocado/crab salad. Unfortunately, the crab salad stuffed in the avocado half s served was rancid. The salad was 13.00 and 4.00 was taken off due the spoiled food. The remaining salad was good, but it was a 4.00 side salad at most, not 9.00.

So many appealing items on the menu, it was hard to choose just one to order. Food and drinks were very reasonably priced. Buffalo chicken quesadilla was great and the mac & cheese bites were yummy. Really enjoyed my Georgia Peach cocktail. We will be sure to visit again when in the area.

The booth was full of crumbs on the benches. Took 10 minutes to get for a waiter to greet us. The drinks took another 10 or so to arrive. There was a ceiling tile half missing over our table and stuff that fell out of the ceiling on the mural. The mushroom app was good, the drink was very good, bloody mary, chicken salad sandwich needed more flavor and not be minced to a pulp. Went there two years ago with parents and I vaguely remember feeling nonplussed when done. I have only heard good about this place so maybe just not my day.

The food is pretty good and the prices are reasonable. I love the surprisingly elegant ambiance and decor. However, several of the booth seats are held together by duct tape, which completely undermines the elegant atmosphere and makes the seats really uncomfortable.

Also, portion sizes leave a little to be desired. I ordered the veggie stir-fry, but I had to ask for more rice with my entree.

Great place with friendly faces. Necie, at the bar is great! She is very knowledgable with the menu and mixing drinks. She not only suggested drinks we may like but she also knew how to make any drink we asked her about. We will definitely be coming back with Necie behind the bar! She went above and beyond!

The place was dead and the kitchen still took 40 minutes the make fried green tomatoes. Our dinner came out warm and cold. I had to beg for a refill. Used to be a good place. What a shame.
We will never be going back

The atmosphere was underwhelming, and guests apparently were not required to wear masks. The hostess was a little slow and curt.
Our waitress, on the other hand was sweet, friendly and efficient.
The food was amazingly delicious. We got the lobster dip as appetizer, and I got stuffed flounder with wild rice and asparagus. Medium to small portions but no less than delectable.

Great atmosphere! Fabulous, flavorful, and strong margaritas! The bartender, Necia, was amazing...friendly, efficient, and fun!!! Food is great and value is excellent!! Will definitely be back!

My blackened mahi looked and tasted more like grilled chicken. The sides were okay, but not great. The server was friendly but not the most attentive. Overall, not a horrible experience, but was hoping for more. Would be willing to give them another shot.

I just got home from houndstooth. The food was excellent but the service and lack of attention left much to be desired. My wife and I arrived at 6:35 and were seated promptly for a Friday night (about 10 minutes after we arrived.) However we waited well over an hour for our food to arrive. We ordered drinks which took about 20 minutes to arrive after being seated. After an hour of waiting my wife asked for a manager and then our food suddenly arrived. The manager arrived half way into our meal and said he would do something to make it right but nothing was done. We have not asked for anything in the year and a half we have we been together and that was not the point, we just thought he should about the situation. This will not be the place we choose for further date nights.

I just had my Mom's 50th birthday dinner here and it was absolutely fantastic!! Our server Debbie was amazing and super accommodating. The food was outstanding. I would recommend Houndstooth to everyone for their special occasions, or just a good meal. I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out

I went to the Houndstooth recently and the bartender Necie was AMAZING, she made me her famous blueberry martini and I couldn t handle all the YUMMINESS! Everything about my night was great. Necie was so happy and fun to be around! I ll be back every Thursday for Blueberry Martini s and fried oysters.

Great decor, old tired menu and poor servers. I've tried to make it work with my family but can't get them to go back. Food is mediocre and bar can't make standard drinks because they are always out of something. We are done trying to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, and bar food that is a step above the rest. I had the fried green tomato BLT on texas toast and it was delicious. My father had the fried grouper and that was good as well, pretty tasty and not over cooked. Definitely recommend trying this place, I was glad we did!

Horrible service. Waited 45 minutes for the server to bring out cold food. First blamed it on the large party in the back then said it was the food we ordered. We ordered one entree and a salad. How hard is that? Drinks we not refilled and you cannot see anyone that cares about serving the customers anywhere. This used to be a great place. Those days are gone.

Pretty good food, good happy hour prices, service was fine. The hostess/greeter was super nice and really knew the menu well. I had the egg rolls, chicken tenders, and fried artichokes and the other in my party had the ribeye and green beans. His really enjoyed his steak and I liked my order but it was definitely a greasy fried pile of food. The tenders were good and crispy though, which was nice, and they give you lots of good sauces to pair the food with. If you're in the area, it's not a bad option.

No one at the front for 5 minutes to seat us. Waited another 10 minutes for waitress. Waitress had all of the large room by herself and had to bus her own tables. Took 45 minutes to get our meal and then chicken was tough! My husband never got the tea he ordered. The waitress actually a spot of blood on her mask at the nose area! This is the third time we've had a bad experience at Houndstooth!
Won't be back!

This place is great! It's our second time to this area and our second time to eat here. The food and service have been great both times. Shoutout to the bartender, Denise! If you sit in her area, she'll take great care of you! We definitely recommend.

Good experience and service here. I had the wings which were great and the rest of the table enjoyed their meals as well. Pretty fair pricing and selection although two appetizers we chose were not available which we found out after ordering. Our server did a great job though and we all had a good time.

Really poor service.

Really poor service.
Just got take out and we paid for the tuna and found when we got home we didn't receive it.

My first restaurant review EVER! I was super excited to try this restaurant for the first time. I came inside and sat on the outside patio. I ordered a Long Island and it took approximately 37 minutes to come to my table. We also ordered food at the same time we ordered the Long Island. After about a hour & fifteen minutes all the tables surrounding us had their food plus drinks in a timely manner. (I also noticed a couple that arrived, after we ve been sitting for a hour, receive their drinks & appetizer rather fast). So now it s been about a hour and 20 minutes & my server comes to the table with NO FOOD, STILL. At this point, my appetite is gone and I m ready to go because this restaurant is already a hour from my home & I have to be at work. So once we made the decision to eat elsewhere, the server comes over & says I apologize we had a cook walk out & a server didn t show. (BUT everyone around us is still getting whatever they ordered right away). I m such an understanding person that if she said all of this info when it happened it could ve been a different outcome. So now I m still hungry driving a hour home. Smh.

Absolutely outstanding! Service is faultless, food is superlative, and the decor is beautiful. They have many unusual selections on the menu and everything we tried was delicious.

Service was very slow but maybe wasn't the regular workers due to covid-19 so will not get into to much detail there. Food fell short of just being edible, none of us is our party liked their food in the slightest, won't be back.

Been around for a while now with a couple different owners I believe. For the most part it's a great experience. The food is always good and a great wine selection and bar. I've had issues with slow service here but nothing that kept me from coming back. It's a great local restaurant and I would recommend for a night out or a great lunch.

I had one of the BEST ribeye steaks tonight that I have ever eaten. It was very tender, nicely seasoned and cooked at a perfect "medium" temperature. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her lobster tails. Her Georgia Peach mixed drink was delicious and my draft Bud Light was ice cold. It was a perfect meal!!

My wife and I visited this establishment last night. We were fairly pleased with the food and service but not so happy with the management.

We had brought in a Groupon that said "$20 off Dinner for two or more". We purchased a beer, an appetizer trio, and a main course to share. There was no fine print that said we had to purchase 2 main courses and yet they told us that we could not use the Groupon because we had not purchased 2 main courses.

They told us that we could purchase a dessert and then they would honor it but I was already upset. We ended up spending more than what we wanted to because they decided they weren't going to honor it from what it said. If we would have know what we could have purchased 2 cheaper entrees and spent a lot less.

What's even more unfortunate is that they would rather have 6 more dollars (cost of dessert) than have a satisfied customers who would love to return. Needless to say, we will not be returning.
