About The Fox & Hound Restaurant in Quincy

After being vacant for two years and after extensive renovations, the restaurant re-opened as the Fox and Hound Wood Grille and Tavern on October 27th, 2004 which by chance was the same night the Red Sox won the World Series.

The restaurant which resembles nothing of its former days as the Custom House, offers exposed brick walls in the dining room, a floor to ceiling fieldstone fireplace in the Tavern, a newly constructed private dining room, and a newly redecorated function room.

The menu is chock full of classic American comfort food, but with a delicious contemporary twist. In addition, we offer entertainment in the Tavern every weekend.

The goal was to transform this historical location into a modern hot spot without the inflated metropolitan prices.

Come and see us soon, we are certain you will have a wonderful dining experience.

History

The Fox & Hound is located on a site in Quincy well known for restaurants over the years.

James H. McManus opened the original Fox & Hounds Grille in 1936, just a few years after prohibition ended. Over the years, it became famous for its large Baked Stuffed Lobsters and Charcoal Broiled Club Sirloin Steaks.

After McManus' ownership, the restaurant, beleaguered by fires, had a number of owners. The site was operated as a steak-house type restaurant known as Sir Loin for a short time. Dutton's established a long and successful run at the site, becoming known for its piano bar and late night crowd until it closed in the early 80's.

The long idle building was undergoing renovations when a disastrous fire destroyed it just before a planned re-opening by new owners in 1995. The only thing left standing after the fire was the original stone hearth fireplace still intact today. After rebuilding a replica of the original 1936 building, it was named the Custom House which operated for seven years.
