Kimber R. "Our service couldn't have been better. Our server was so helpful and seemed like she truly loved her job. She made small talk and made some great suggestions. Inside is massive. I love the old building turned into something new vibe, and while it seems weird to mention, the bathroom was big and really impressive! I got the soup special of the day, which was buffalo chicken and SO good. It was like a wing in soup form. I also got the pretzel with cheese and while it was good....it was absolutely covered in salt. I had to spend a good amount of time desalting it to make it even close to edible. It once again was tasty after I did that, but I shouldn't have had to. The server was super sweet when I mentioned it, and said she would tell the kitchen. I was only in the area visiting, but I'll make sure I mention it to anyone I know will be in that area."

Charles F. "I had never been to a distillery until Sunday. That's a dang shame and I'm glad that I can say that trend is over. I'm looking forward to heading to distilleries and I'm fairly certain that Sleepy Fox will be seeing me again. My experience was wonderful. The hostess was extraordinarily friendly and knowledgeable. She knew a lot about the flavors and even more about what people liked. I got the flight which was 6 tastings of the different blends. I chose the apple pie (which is a top seller), Maple, Peach, Cinnamon, the 2 year aged bourbon, and the 5 year aged bourbon. I loved all of them but I was especially enamored with the peach and 5 year aged bourbon.Not only did they flights but there were mixed drinks. My wife had the mojito which she was kind enough to share with me.Best of all, this entire only left is $18 out of pocket including the tip for the hostess. Anyone who follows my reviews knows that I love burgers, pizza, wings, and salad. Well, bourbon/whiskey/scotch/brandy/cognac are my other passions and I know them kinda good. What I had at Sleepy Fox was very good!"
