Foxiis Restaurant and Bar — Restaurant in Murphy

My wife and I don’t get to have dinner without our son that often. But this past Friday was one of those times we were able to. We usually like to try something new when it’s just us. Most parents with children who are picky eaters know why. So we found this place called Foxiis Restaurant and Bar. We checked their menu online as well as the reviews. Everything seemed to check out. We walk in and was instantly greeted by the hostess. She proceeded to take us to our table. Is was a nice day so we asked if we could sit outside. “Oh course” she said. And she directed us outside and advised us we could pick our seat. We get out there and sit down. There were two gentlemen who were out there already at the table next to us. Then they both started lighting up cigarettes and there was no escaping it. It was either move into the sun or go back inside. So we opted for the latter. We couldn’t find the original hostess, but found another young lady and she sat us inside. The waitress Heather came by and gave us our menu and took our drink order. After bring our drinks she asked if we were ready to order. Since this was our first time here we wanted to look over the menu a little more closely and she was very understanding about that. After perusing the menu for a few minutes we decided what we wanted. My wife ordered the chicken scampi linguini and I ordered to the chicken fried chicken with jalapeno gravy ( and mashed potatoes and “honey glazed” carrots. I will start with my wife’s dish. I’m not sure if the person who prepared the food that day was new and didn’t know how to cook pasta, but the linguini was so over cooked it was essentially mush. It was so bad my wife couldn’t even get through two bites of it. We were going to not say anything and just take it home. But the very wonderful waitress insisted that she take it and get her something else. She took it, but we told her we didn’t need a replacement. Now to the chicken fried chicken. I’m not sure of they bread the chicken themselves or if it came already prepared. But there zero seasoning in that batter. Just very very bland. The “jalapeno” gravy that was on the chicken and potatoes, was very misleading. To me it tasted like they just took white gravy and poured a splash of jalapeno juice in it. The actual potatoes were good once some salt and pepper was added. Now when I was looking at the menu I had noticed these “honey glazed” carrots and they sounded great. When they get to the table they are swimming in a pool of what looks like thinned out pancake syrup with some herbs sprinkled on top. I could only get through one bite of those. I was able to eat my chicken and potatoes by covering them in salt and black pepper. Like I had said, the waitress was great. Very understanding and communicable. She even took my wife’s food off of our check. Usually ( not all the time), I’m a one and done type of a guy when it comes to any bad at a restaurant. But by looking around at what other people were ordering and speaking with the waitress about her favorites, I think we might have just ordered the wrong thing. So atmosphere: good Service: Great Food: not so much. Next time we would order something different. I recommend trying something else other than what I did. But then again, your experience could be different. I will...

This was my first time here. We had Gissel for our waitress and I have to compliment her. I usually eat in the patio no matter the weather because it is much quieter. It was pretty full inside so we went outside. Usually when I am outside the waiter/waitress completely forget about me. Especially if I am the only one out there. But she was 100% on top of it. I honestly have never had such attentiveness even inside before. She was friendly and charming. She even helped me feel better about myself. I have struggled with my weight the last year and called myself fat infront of her and she immediately told me I was not and assured me what I ordered was a good choice and pointed out the healthy ingredients they use in it to make me feel better. Usually my servers just laugh at that and say it's okay. Which feels like they're confirming it. She really protected my feelings. The owner came to talk to us and he told us the history of the place and their recurring/upcoming events. He was charming and it's refreshing to be swept up in engaging conversation instead of the typical question, confirmation, and goodbye. The food was divine. Simple as that. I have not had such delicious food in even more upscale eateries. I am a...

We went for the 1st time this past weekend to try a different place to eat. We decided to pick up since COVID is still very much an issue and take it to the park with us. We ordered a few burgers and onion rings. Unfortunately it wasn't that great. I hate saying this at a time like this but the food was lackluster. The Onion Rings tasted like they were breaded with corn mill that's usually used with catfish. They were the worst onion rings I've ever had. Greasy, gritty and no taste. They were so bad both of us threw them away. Next were the burgers, I had a cheeseburger and the wife had the Angry Bird. I thought the burger was good right but it didn't have any flavor and it was grizzly. Kind of like something you would find with low quality meat. The wife said her burger tasted fine. Not the best but not the worst. Or course she did say that with the egg and bacon on it, it added additional flavor so she couldn't comment on the meat. Overall for the price of $30 for 2 burgers, that ultimately were pretty bad, I would opt for...
