Family Bodega Feel- excellent tastes
I went to FRX on a local recommendation for an 11 am meal. The atmosphere might overwhelm some of Jackson's wealthier aristocrat consumers, and will not provide the classic Teton or moose pictures of a tourist spectacle. The space trades the fine polished marble countertops or gentrified sterile cookie cutter spaces, and favors a crowded, homey, and tad bit chaotic space emanating a "you can find any last minute snack or need" here. From backcountry meals, chapsticks, hydrating beverages, to cans of diced tomatoes, it's a one stop shop for all.
The female appearing mannequin draped in a hockey murder mask upon entering is all for show, as the friendly staff was not in formal glow-up attire, and instead felt like any neighbor you might encounter at the weekly People's Market. Whether you simply are stopping by for a coffee, full meal, or current trail conditions they will help you out with true local flavor.
If you have a minute to eat one of the meals featured of the day, it's certainly worth it to wait for some classic food features that will hit the spot. Alden cooked me up a tasty chicken burrito with some crunchy rice, and a hint of scallions. Perfect-for a quick pre or post adventure bite. The food is actually affordable no if's, and's or buts. Aside from the price point, the food is cooked on the spot right behind the counter, and the delectable quality and taste ensure you can't go wrong.
If you want to engage in a communal space with good vibes-would recommend stopping by at your leisure. If you traveled to JH with a tin-foil appearing fur draped puffy ski suit while attempting to take a business call, then please for the love of whatever soul this old town has left, take your lavish...
Read moreWow. Just wow!! This place is a little hidden gem. Personally, I think the inside is a little too crowded. Especially if there’s a like of people. I wish it was bigger inside for customers and the worker(s). Lol I had ordered the Hashmash with sausage, banana bread, and a vanilla late. I got to say the women who was working was a HUSTLER (BOSS, as I said earlier in the shop 😉) she continued on for 45 minutes not even stopping. Making burritos, making coffee, everything. This women was ONTOP of it! She told me it would be about a 20 minute wait, and it was about 25 minutes which I was tottaly fine with! She thanked me tremendously and brought me my coffee and all the items I ordered and I was not expecting that at all. Your work is unmatched and I really appreciate it (I wish I would have got your name)! I really am happy I made the decison to support local, that’s how I grew up in Montana and I travel quite often for work (✈️). I thought the hashmash was a burrito, so was a little shocked when I got it but she really reassured me it was underrated and she thinks that I’ll like it and SHE WAS NOT WRONG! Oh my gosh! The FLAVORRRRRR😍😍 I really appreciate your hospitality. I hope more people can recognize the work you put in for just a small shop. I just loved the vibe here! & HOLY CRAP THE BEST BANANA...
Read moreNestled at the foot of Snow King lies FRX – a coffee haven with a twist. Little did I know that my visit for a caffeine fix would turn into an epic showdown with the Yakuza.
As I casually entered for my morning brew, wearing my camouflage pants for disguise, the door burst open, and in walked a menacing group of ninjas. The shop owner leaped over the counter, wielding a bag of coffee beans as his weapon. "Nobody messes with my customers' caffeine buzz!" he roared. I grabbed a bag of coffee filters and joined the fray, the patrons rallying behind us.
Bags of coffee beans flew, creating a haze of aromatic chaos. Amidst the clatter, the owner tossed espresso beans into the air, blinding the Yakuza boss momentarily, delivering a swift blow with a coffee scoop. The Yakuza, defeated and disheveled, fled, leaving behind a shop filled with exhilarated, caffeine-fueled customers.
As the dust settled, he offered me a free coffee for the day, and I savored my triumphant brew, knowing that FRX wasn't just a coffee shop – it was a promise of courage, camaraderie, and the best...
