Red Fox Diner — Restaurant in Lighthouse Point

You know that guy who is always right, even when he’s wrong? Well, I must be that guy. This morning, we joined friends for breakfast at the Red Fox, a popular diner they discovered a couple of weeks ago at 2041 NE 36 St (E.Sample Rd), Lighthouse Point.

Despite the place being packed and with a line of people waiting outside, I have to admit, I found my breakfast mediocre. Let me start with the coffee—they definitely used tap water. Need I say more?

I ordered a Western omelet with home-fried potatoes. The potatoes were perfect, but the omelet was sub-standard. The onions, green peppers, and ham bits were seared quickly, not allowing them to soften and blend their flavors together. Moreover, the ham pieces were lukewarm. They prepared the omelet by clumping the ingredients in the middle and folding the edges over. A friend ordered the mushroom and avocado omelet, and it was prepared the same way. With each forkful, the middle ingredients fell off on both sides of the fork (ingredients in any omelet should be mixed in with the beaten eggs before cooking).

Everyone ordered hash-brown potatoes with their breakfast. Those hash browns looked like something that came out of a pouch of Pop Tarts and put in a toaster. I tried a bite, and it was okay but too modern for my traditional taste.

Would I rush to go back there? I don’t think so. Yet, The Red Fox must be doing something right because they...

Servers are very attentive except for when it came to paying the bill. They put the bill down and we put our card down and waited for quite a while for someone to pick it up. We were not sure if we were supposed to get up and go pay it somewhere or if the server took it. There was no clear visual of whether you went up to a counter and paid or if your server ticket. We only thought maybe you got up and paid because it sat on the table so long. We ended up stopping another server who was not our original server and ask them how we pay our bill. She said she could take it. The food was okay. My cousin ordered avocado toast and she enjoyed it however more than half of her plate was covered with spinach. So they kind of went overload. I ordered an omelette I was disappointed because when you think about an omelette you think about cheese inside with your ingredients. They had a very very small amount of cheese inside and then they had like half a slice of cheese on top of it so The Omelette itself with the ingredients inside was extremely dry. It was good just lacking. I reviewed at four stars, I should probably review at 3 stars really but I did...

I was eating breakfast here almost every morning for months until Suzette wanted to be disrespectful to me because I let her know I was in a rush. When I walked in, she was speaking with another waitress about how her favorite customer came in behind me. I had already placed to go order so all I wanted to do was pay and leave. she took my debit card and Instead of helping me she started to clear a space for her favorite customer. She proceeded call someone over to clean the table for him and once she started putting silverware out for him, I asked her if she could finish up with me before she started helping someone else because I was in a rush. She proceeded to tell me “that wasn’t cool you just got here” she reprimand me in front of the restaurant and told me how processing a credit card takes time after the receipt receipts printed she tossed them on the table for me to sign and walked away. That is some of the worst customer service I ever received and I will never return to this establishment. Super disappointed because the food is...
