The Hound

The Hound is a family-owned restaurant and bar featuring over-the-top American classics, top shelf bourbon, and 28 craft beers on tap. Owners Matthew Poirier and Jana (Caruthers) Poirier moved back to Auburn with the dream of opening a local watering hole featuring simple, delicious food with a focus on bacon, bourbon, community, and family. Menu items include meatloaf, craft beer braised chicken, 1/2 lb. bacon BLT, wild-game sausage, our Big Fat 16 oz Steak, thick cut bone-in Berkshire chop, home-spun vanilla bean ice cream, and bread pudding with a bourbon caramel sauce! Our menu is short, simple, and changes with the seasons. Our food philosophy is the same as our life philosophy: we support local community by sourcing locally and giving back, provide a place for people to feel at home, get to know your neighbor at our community table, and just enjoy the simple things we have all been given. We source locally and regionally and harvest from The Hound family farm in Lafayette, Alabama when possible. Try our fantastic Sunday brunch! Full bar available.
