"To say this was a let down would be an understatement, the Barkery at the Hound 's Tale is described as a dog friendly section of the aforementioned restaurant which offers good food and good vibes but in truth, the vibes are mediocre and the food is bland. When I set up on this establishment to eat some food in the walkable part of Williamsburg my hopes were high; I find that good people and tasty food is plentiful in this area so to say that my hopes were dashed would be an accurate descritption of my experience. Upon walking in there was an unruly dog and the bartender had similar mannerisms, it was obvious who the canine 's captain was. We asked about food and were grunted at that it was served here and we were handed a single menu for our group of five. We sat and ordered water and waited ten minutes for the beverage, at this point, the dog which claimed the dining room as domicile had been barking at and nagging at us and our own furry friend. After ordering food we waited another thirty minutes for our meals which arrived in a manner befit a grander and greater gourmet experience. We ate our Hound 's burgers in silence, relishing the sustenance which was provided. It was halfway through our burgers where I trouble began. The centers, were cold and undercooked and the general flavor tasted as though the patties had been cooked from frozen, the fries were limp and soft without any signs of life in them, their pretzel was of store bought variety with a disgusting excuse for pimento cheese accompanying it. This pimento cheese tasted as though no one in the establishment had eaten pimento cheese and someone in passing has merely described it to them and based on this description, they made some. The server/bartender continued to neglect us and attend to others which were made to seem as regulars but how are regulars made other than by providing exemplary service ot those who are new. Once we received our checks, we boxed up our food and left, our arms laden with the disappointments of the kitchen. The animal which has been announcing our arrival, our staying, and our eating, now announced our departure in true small dog screaming fashion. Needless to say, we will not be back."
