The Hound Located in a historic building, The Hound has been a consistent local hotspot since its initial opening, breathing new life into the community. Designed with family and Auburn in mind, the restaurant echoes Southern hospitality, and features traditional American classics reimagined with heirloom ingredients. The Hound has become a culinary destination especially for Brunch under the culinary vision of Executive Chef and operating partner “Robbie” Nicolaisen. Chef Robbie joined The Hound in late May of 2017 and has been a staple of the Alabama culinary scene since tying on his Hound apron. Chef Robbie’s background has brought a wealth of experience and creativity to the menu. The Hound's innovative menu items such as the “Chicken Fried Steak” (slow braised wagyu beef cheeks breaded and chicken-fried) or the “Bacon flight” (a selection of various styles of bacon produced in-house or thoughtfully sourced from crafted artisans) are key to The Hound’s success, as people travel near and far to try their famous dishes. The Hound’s purpose is to provide an elevated dining experience within a warm and welcoming environment without pretentiousness. Our team of passionate and talented individuals are committed to providing innovative, yet approachable food and beverage offerings.
