I was a regular at Fox and the Hound and Ringside @ Sullivans before I got old and had kids.

I wonder why they don't sell that place instead of letting it sit there half empty and remodeled?


I worked at Ninfa's back in the day and we used to go there all the time after work. What's going on with Fox and the Hound? is it still around?

Sorely missed. Service was always excellent back then, too.

It's been closed. God, it's been empty for at least 5 years. Place is just sitting there.
When I moved back to BR in 04, I watched a lot of games at Fox & the Hound. That place used to be crazy busy. Like you couldn't find a seat there for a big LSU road game.

That's a shame. I used to love the $2 pints for service industry employees at night. Great beer selection. good apps. large space.

There was a small window of time where Brinker Group had their A Game on, and all their places were good..

Even Eatzi's in Houston.

Not if that isn’t allowed in their lease (as it should be). Besides, they want to do a major renovation from scratch, not design/build everything around an existing tenant or two.

My sister worked at Grady’s and I use to eat there pretty regularly. They had a bleu cheese burger with fried onion strings that was really good.

As for Black-Eyed Pea, that was by Cortana, not Citiplace, from my recollection.

I'm confused. We talking Citiplace or Esplanade? If Esplanade, I worked at Premier Bank when they occupied the huge office space in the center of the building. Met my wife of 20 years there. Shot pool and played Top Golf at Click's every single day for lunch. Went to Sullivan's after work pretty often. That was a great job.

Am I mistaken but wasn't O'Charley's in there too?
