Fox Restaurant

What a fine! We were in the area and stumbled across the Fox restaurant. Ian, the owner happened to be there, I get the feeling he is there every day, and was beyond friendly.Our server,Sarah, provided incredible insight into the menu items. She has worked there for eight years!The food here is some of the best food I have ever had at a breakfast restaurant in my life. You could eat the gravy straight out of the bowl with nothing else it is that good! The French toast is some of the best French toast I've ever had. All of their food is fantastic and you cannot go wrong. The Fox restaurant has a family atmosphere and an old-school diner vibe to it.We will definitely be going back many, many, many times!

Love this original-Avondale place! Only a few booths and spots at the bar; therefore, you wait in a line outside the door! But no frets... the line moves smoothly & quickly!So many great brunch choices: corned beef hash, brioche French toast, omelets, etc! There are lunch choices as well.The decor is classic, eclectic 1950s.PS - The coffee is great! Plus, the waitresses are so attentive!

I'll just say first off. I have no idea why this place isn't more popular. That being said I've heard about it for years and finally got around to trying it. When I first arrived I immediately felted welcomed because it felt like a diner with super great energy. The place was clean and just felt really at home. The servers or whomever was behind the bar asked me how many was eating in and told me to choose where I would like. I asked and pointed to confirm is a certain table was ok and they agreed. Upon sitting down we were promptly greeted and asked if we would like drinks. Those did not take long at all to come out. Then we ordered and were checked on at least once before our food arrived. Let me just say, I order scrambled eggs soft everywhere I go and very very few places have gotten them right. I didn't mention any of this and didn't even say anything more than just scrambled eggs soft. My eggs may not look like it from the picture but they were perfect! They were soft scrambled with a little runny in them exactly how I like them. My cheese grits were pretty normal and great. But the pancakes, they were way better than I was expecting. They were so good that I actually finished them all. As usually I only finish half and don't care to finish the rest. Absolutely can't wait to come back and try more items.

First time here, great diner atmosphere but could use some upkeep or a refresh. The back of my side of the booth caved in whenever I sat back too far. Came for breakfast and all three of us enjoyed our omelettes. The pesto on mine was a surprisingly good addition to all the vegetables, cheese and egg. The biscuit was big, fluffy and buttery. The potatoes were cooked well but had an unusual faint taste of cinnamon. The coffee was fantastic, always happy with a place that makes a great cup of regular coffee. Service was great, our waters and coffees were never empty.

For a great breakfast or lunch- you can always count on The Fox Restaurant!!Patty Melt was mine (see pic) 5/5 Riverside omelet was hubbys 5/5 Coffee is always hot and fresh 5/5 Staff is chipper and pleasant 5/5 Decor is a riot!!! 10/5

The service and atmosphere was absolutely adorable! The manager and staff were fast and friendly! We look forward to another brunch date here

The Restaurant used to be referred to as City Hall West since many elected officials would meet there for breakfast. The employees used to be friendly and courteous and at least be cordial. Now, the restaurant is outdated, a Man at the front counter asks "How many"? Without even a hello or welcome. Once seated, a waitress walks by and says "what do you want to drink" and drops a menu on the table. She returns with a drink and asks "you know what you want"? I ordered a simple breakfast of eggs, grits and toast. The food was okay but you typically eat at diners to enjoy the nostalgic setting and friendly atmosphere. If you want a basic breakfast and don't care about the overall experience then you may try this. This is nowhere close to what this diner once was.

Went for the 1st time after years of living here. I know I'm late. But my friend advocated for the BLFGT served with blue cheese crumbles and a fried egg. I gotta say it is tasty. I loved the sauce on the sandwich it has great flavor and kick from the horseradish. And we got a side of biscuit and it was wise choice. Carbs on carbs. How do you go wrong.

There was a line outside of the restaurant for the indoor seating on a Sunday morning, but we didn't mind to take the last 2 outside seats. The food was ok, it took a little long to get it, but we didn't mind as it was lovely out. My Greek omelette was good. The fruit cup was kinda dull and had lots of bananas. Service was great, our drink were refilled timely.

This bustling little diner in Avondale always has a long line of eager patrons! Friendly staff, good food, and a great cup of coffee! No reservations or call aheads here, but the line outside moves quickly with consistent check ins from staff (and even a few bubbles blown our way by one waiter)!If you're looking for quick, tasty food at a good price, look no further. I'll definitely be stopping by again soon!
