Had trouble with making the initial reservation. Once we arrived we were seated promptly. The server had absolutely no personality and even less knowledge about the menu. Ordered the appetizer of pub fries which were good. Tried to order entrees of stuffed chicken breast and brisket sliders. They were out of both. Asked about the soup of the day and the ravioli but were told they have never had those items. We settled for a burger and fried shrimp which were decent but not exceptional in any way. The check was presented and we were not offered dessert. We had to ask for a chocolate lava cake and that would have been good if served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Overall not a good experience. Since Fox City has not been open very long, we will give them a month or so and try again. Hopefully we will have a better experience.
I am updating this review to a 3 star rating because the owner of Fox City was willingly to speak to me about my experience. After speaking to him I believe the issues are being addressed and we will be returning to Fox City very soon. I will again update my review after a return trip. Thanks to George for your willingness to speak to me. I appreciate that!
08/22/20...Visited again tonight and the service provided by Tammy was exceptional! Everyone’s meal was prepared well. The steaks were cooked as ordered and the stuffed chicken was very good. It is stuffed with a pimento cheese and I would like to have had more in the chicken only because it was so good. Tasted four different brews with the beer flight and each was unique. Based on the food and service we received tonight I am updating this review to five stars. All of the problems we encountered on our first visit were addressed and I am confident that Fox City will continue providing excellent food and service. We look forward to...
Read moreWe absolutely enjoyed our date at Fox’s City Brewing Co. we had Kaitlin as our waitress and she was so helpful as this was our first time eating there. She was so helpful when we asked what she preferred. We ordered the pretzel and I ordered wings and my husband ordered a burger. The building itself was sooooo charming! There were so many authentic characteristics to it and it was so spacious! We didn’t have a hard time keeping ourselves apart from other customers. They had little bubble lights in strands draped around in areas and THEY ARE MY FAVORITE. When I see them it just makes me think of how the roof top restaurants in my favorite tv shows decorate. They add just enough light but are still dainty and cute.
The pretzel was about 12 inches tall and had a mustard dip pjs sauce and a cheese dipping sauce. It was hot and steaming when you tore it apart from the whole one. It was like the ones I have seen on Diners, Drive-in’s and Dives on the Food Network.
The wings were crispy on the outside and drenched with sauce. The inside was perfectly cooked without being slimy, I HATE slimy wings. I’m not sure if the ranch was homemade but it was thick enough to stay on my wing but thin enough it spread out well and lasted till the end.
The burger was fantastic and had a scoop of the pimento cheese on top that melted all gooey over the patty. It contained smoked Gouda and was delicious.
We both had some of the fries which I was expecting to be curly fries but these fries, y’all—they were like curly potato logs or some fry hybrid. They were crunch and seasoned and ADDICTIVE!
We will be going back soon! We love about 45 minutes away and it was absolutely worth the drive!! In fact, let me know and we will meet you, I need an excuse!!
Well done, Forsyth! Well, done!...
Read moreOur family was very excited to dine at this restaurant/brewery, as we pre-planned this stop into our Forsyth trip months ago. Unfortunately, it was not a pleasant experience. The server was very friendly, though couldn’t answer any of my food or beverage questions about ingredients. I asked her to please go ask for me since I have food sensitivities and she forgot. Perhaps she had too many tables and was weeded..maybe the restaurant was understaffed, but everything for our group was delayed, sub par, forgotten, or just plain incorrect. A few key happenings: our round of Old Fashion’s large ice cubes were half melted by the time they arrived, the food was mediocre because it had sat for too long before being delivered…and then no silverware.. I could taste the potential of it all to be wonderful, but the service imploded. Once the bills came they were all wrong, had to reprint, then I realized the server had tacked on an “auto gratuity” to our party of 6, and did not let us know. So two other couples had already signed their checks & left unknowingly. I’m not sure if there is a hard rule in place, but I feel the right thing to do is to inform your guests when adding gratuity. Otherwise it can be viewed as a shady maneuver. Our server disappeared once she gave us the bill, so I asked another server if the “service charge” on our check meant an auto gratuity was added, and she danced around the question uncomfortably several times. I continued to rephrase my simple question before she said yes. The potential was all there, unfortunately we didn’t...
