Fox's Lobster House — Restaurant in York

Our small group of 6 were on a 5 day trip to the area and made a drive to visit the lighthouse. We visited Fox's and upon entry, requested an inside table in a cool and quiet place as it was in the afternoon and very hot. The woman at the front identified herself as the owner, seated our group outside ignoring our simple request. Our table was located between two tables filled with children. I'm a baseball coach so to me it was not an issue because I work with children and teens. One table was filled with children that were well behaved, while the other table was filled with children that were very bad behaved and it was appearing that a food fight was not far away. The same woman served us. We all ordered mixed drinks, but she didn't bring mine or my wife's drinks. She disappeared so we couldn't bring our missing drinks to her attention. She had our meal served and it was to no surprise that the meal would be about the same as her ignoring our simple request for inside seating where they had several open tables. I was right, the food was cold, greasy, and almost all breading. The food was overcooked as well. After a long wait, terrible food, and a waitress/owner????, with the rudest attitude for anyone in the food business, I will never visit Fox's ever again. Oh, she did bring our drinks after everyone had finished their meals and was ready to go. I should have sent them back, but did not want to be as rude as she was! We enjoyed seeing the lighthouse. Please heed my advice, don't waste your time at Fox's. There are many other great places to dine nearby. Terrible staff, food all for an expensive ticket. I wish that I could say something positive about Fox's, but simply cannot. Don't waste your time or...

To start out our server was terrible. After about 10 mins he showed up and asked if we needed anything, I was like yes drinks and we gave our order and they came out slow but no worries. He gave our drinks and took off. Came back and said do you need anything? I said yes to order and once again he took off for about 10-15 mins then he comes back is there anything I can do for you and once again I said yes we would like to place our order so we began to order. I had Fried Clam basket, my friend had Fried Scallops basket both with French fries and my mom got the fried haddock sandwich wit a baked potato. Our meal came and my friend instead of getting French fries with her scallops she got a baked potato but the other meals came correctly. She told him she wanted French fries and he said oh! Then went back and 10 mins later they came out and she was almost done with her scallops but FF did come out popping hot. She liked the scallops, my mother said her sandwich was ok and my Fried clams with bellies were tiny tiny and had no taste to them and a small amount of the as more fries than clams. Dessert was the best part of it all! The bill came out to $133 for 3 people and it wasn’t worth the money. Will never go back for sure since it’s supposed to be good seafood. I understand the waiter was probably new as a college student but he needs a lot of training to be serving on his own. It’s funny today I went to a local restaurant in my city and got fried clam roll and got more clams then here for $13.99 and they also tasted so much better. All I can say is beware on...

We went because our trip there years ago was beyond excellent. This is no longer the case. First, if you are handicapped or mobility impaired, go somewhere else. The crushed rock and uneven concrete surfaces are beyond difficult on walker wheels or wheelchairs. We approached the outside section to find it roped off-you have to go around it, get in line, go in, get a hostess and get seated there. Kicked out of the roped section, we were directed to another outside area, the second class citizens section, where you have no wait staff, no menus, and you order an abbreviated menu from a window. Same outrageous prices, but not a full dining room menu. An average piece of fish was draped over a small container of soggy fries, stuffed inside the same carry box with another of my party's chicken burger and a side order of $7 mac and cheese - HAD to be out of a box, except out of a box is better, more cheese, wider macaroni, boxed actually has a taste. Also included ketchup packets that require a chain saw to open and which caused a ketchup explosion on the table. Most of our time there, there was a side table about 10 feet away with a veritible LANDSLIDE of dirty dishes with leftover food on them waiting to be bussed. I understand that these are difficult times for restaurants, and any restaurant that offers outside seating to those of us unwilling to go inside are to be commended. However outside seating requires good planning, execution, and staffing, none of which Fox's...
