::Be Advised:: This is a hotel restaurant - Marriott Courtyard to be exact. That's not necessarily a bad thing - and for me it was one of the best things tbh - but if you're looking to get out and explore the Chicago restaurant scene you may want to keep pushing. As for me, I just wanted biscuits and gravy within walking distance - and the possibility of a beermosa before 11am on a Thursday. So I walked from my one Bonvoy property that didn't have it down the street to another that did. Very delicious. Nicely presented. Attentive service. It is what it is. read more

How disappointing! We stopped by as it shows over 4 star review from hundreds of people. We just wanted a simple quick bite as we have big dinner planned. I chose the 7 layer salad as the picture from the owner looks beautiful, it is really 7 layers!! The actual dish is nothing like that! It is just a regular mixed salad dish. We asked the server, she denied that this is a dish from this restaurant, while I showed her the picture shows from business owner and the address match... While I understand that the picture might be outdated sometimes from customers, but if the photo is from the owner, you probably should update it if you changed the dish!! Then there is the service. The restaurant is empty when we showed up. We thought it might because it is 2pm already so lunch crowed is gone. The server tried to sit us on a corner while there are so many nice seats there. We requested a more comfortable seating. After a disappointing meal, then we waited for a long time to get our bill as the server was in a different room doing something herself. We had to go grab her. She dropped off bill, then she disappeared again. We had to once again to get up to find her... with just one customer on the house, I can't imagine how busy she is for paying no attention to her customer. I will never come here again for sure! read more

Food was ok. The service was good. The dessert was TERRIBLE. Ordered the Starwberry Shortcake, which per the description is supposed to come with citrus macerated strawberries. The strawberries are not house made and were exactly what you find at a BaskinRobbins in a red syrup. The shortcake wasn't cooked all the way through. NEVER coming back just based on that. Ambiance is ok. Way too bright and warm inside. read more

Wow- this far exceeded my expectations! I was dying for a salad. I sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender, Kiril. He said his favorite was the kale and I asked to add some garbanzo beans but they did not have any. So I asked to add black beans and it was one of the best salads I've had in ages. Absolutely 5 star!! Kiril the bartender was fantastic and attentive. I came in for a drink the next night too to meet a friend. Same great service. Highly recommend. read more

This was our first time at the Copper Fox. We were within walking distance and it had good reviews. I wanted to make sure it was kid friendly as we had our 5 and 2 year old with us. The kids menu had cheese pasta on it but the noodles were not the same as what was described on the menu so that threw us for a bit of a loop. We ordered the truffle fries to start - surprised that they were steak fries but they were actually pretty tasty! The shrimp and grits was good- the grits reminded me of a loaded mashed potato; they had a Smokey flavor from all the bacon in them - I would recommend. The portions were good and my husband liked his chicken. It felt a little more like a date night place but the service was good and so were the drinks! read more

Gastropub?! Um, not sure if you know what this means. There is nothing gastro or pub about this place. The dining area is lit up like a hospital waiting room. So so bright. Salmon = dryyyyy. They did make up for it. The burger that was ordered in replacement was enjoyed. The service was the only standout. For such a cute name, it had a lot of promise, but left sorely disappointed. There are too many amazing restaurants in this town to waste money, makeup, or time here. read more

Copper Fox Gastropub - Girl dinner = side ceaser and crab hush puppies. And white wine. - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Here for brunch on a Sunday. It was not overly crowded around 1:30 pm. The two of us ate at the bar and enjoyed a Tequila Sunrise. Kary, the Bartender, was friendly and thoughtful in his interactions, offering relevant conversation. The atmosphere is chic and classy with comfy high-back couches and chic chairs, as well as granite counter tops at the bar. In terms of food, I ordered the Italian Sausage Hash, which had roasted bell pepper, caramelized onion, vodka cream marinara, smoked mozzarella, and sunny egg. A side of toast also accompanied it. The food was fresh, hot, and served quickly. The Italian Sausage added just the right flavor! The bathrooms are gender-specifc, clean, and well-maintained. Also, restaurant is connected to the Courtyard Martiott Hotel and Starbucks, as well as a parking garage. read more

We went to the copper fox for brunch on Saturday. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we got there and we were sat immediately. First thing I noticed was under our table was a bunch of food, and a few tables around us were empty but still dirty with all their cups and dishes. Not a great first impression. We ordered the Brussels sprouts and crab hush puppies to get started. A friend of ours joined after we ordered the hush puppies and she had a couple, then later we told her they were supposed to be crab. She had no idea because there was no crab flavor or indication there was crab on the inside. The Brussels were undercooked and some were slightly raw. For our meals the table had Italian sausage hash, huevos rancheros and the breakfast sandwich. All of the meals were very underwhelming. The huevos rancheros was basically an egg on top of some beans/corn/tomatos. The Italian sausage in the hash was ground so you barely knew it was there and the sandwich was very soggy and the fruit served with it was on the verge of being bad. I had to pick out some of the rotten blueberries and strawberries. I didn't eat any of the sandwich aside from one bite. Our server kept disappearing, we wouldn't see her forever. I saw her sitting in a random seating area playing on her phone. We had to have the busser find her multiple times. Overall the meal was not good, and the prices gave the impression you're eating at a high class restaurant (over $120 for breakfast) very disappointed to waste that much money on a meal I didn't eat. read more

After scoping spots for dinner, we landed on Copper Fox. We should have looked a bit more, as when we arrived we noted it was the lobby restaurant bar at the Courtyard Marriott. Not really a big deal, but hotel spots are always hit and miss...and Copper Fox was a bit of a miss for us sadly. While we were out for dinner, we decided to just have a cocktail and appetizer here. We bellied up to the bar and the bartender was friendly, welcoming and helpful. We both had cocktails, a Luxardo cherry mule and a gin and tonic. Both were not that great. For the appetizer we first went for the biscuits, but the bartender shared that they are not that great and recommended the crab hush puppies. The hushpuppies were good in theory and had promise, but they were fried a bit long and came out very dark. Overall, room for improvement for sure. The space is gorgeous, and service was excellent...but drinks and food left us a bit disappointed. read more

Nice hotel restaurant here at the Courtyard by Marriott Chicago Downtown/Magnificent Mile. I had a great breakfast of 3 eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast (I substituted a single pancake instead of toast) and coffee. (didn't get any pics on this one). Everything was great, and the Server - Siobhan did a fantastic job taking care of me during breakfast! read more

Don't expect much. This is a HOTEL restaurant and part of the mariott Courtyard. Service was almost grudging, particularly at the bar. Best to go elsewhere. read more

Stumbled upon this charming spot in Chicago while staying at a nearby hotel--couldn't have been more convenient location-wise with several hotels within walking distance. Ordered burgers along with some other menu items, and I was impressed by both the quality and the prices. Everything delivered on flavor without breaking the bank, which is rare downtown. Especially when I'm traveling on business, which tend to be a bit pricey for the most part. What really stood out was the service. The entire team had this warm, authentic friendliness that made us feel like regulars from the moment we walked in. No rushed vibes here either--the atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed, exactly what we needed after a long day. This is one of those low-key gems you hope to find when traveling. If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth a visit for sure. read more

Early evening stop... the food was tasteless. Thankfully there were salt & pepper shakers but even then the food was barely salvageable. We had a group of 5 and it was only brought to our attention at the end of our meal when the bill was dropped off that they are cashless and that they could only split the check with 2 cards. This was not on the menu or posted anywhere at the table or entrance so that we knew ahead of time. The server was very apologetic but it would have been nice to know once we sat down. Knowing what I know now about the food and the check policy, we would have gone elsewhere. There are so many other places around there to go! read more

This was 1) awful 2) no taste 3) very small for cost. It didn't taste of anything. Very disappointing. read more

The service was actually halfway decent but it was over priced college dorm food. I don't know how they get away with this in Chicago of all places but we had no clue this was a hotel restaurant. We arrived at the location and instantly knew it would be a toss up. I ordered an espresso martini that was literally just baileys and 0 espresso. I ordered the chicken and waffles and it was deeply underwhelming. Some friends ordered sandwiches that looked much more appealing. Our server was actually so nice but not much else went well. read more

This place has to have good reviews because of their bar. I've been in Chicago almost a week now and this is the most overpriced low quality food I've had so far. And that's after going to the rooftop terrace at the Trump tower. If you love the cheese pasta at Cici's pizza and want to pay 3 times the price then come here. read more

Started with serving my kids spoiled milk. My food was served cold. I was given a cup of fruit , a good portion of the fruit was bad. My wife's food (pancakes) were inedible. It was the first time I my life I asked for my money back on a meal and I've had a lot of bad meals that most ppl would complain about. I'm just not a complainer but this meal was terrible. Kudos to my waitress though for getting the manager to comp the meal. read more

Copper Fox Gastropub - $18 Turkey Sandwich... mush - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Im not sure why this has good reviews. Even adjusting expectations knowing it's a hotel restaurant, it was a huge disappointment. We went for lunch one afternoon and the service was barely adequate, the food was almost inedible, and very expensive for what it was. My husband and I each tried a soup - both were way too thick to be soups (more a paste texture), lacked flavor, and were not even hot (not even warm). Despite leaving my soup basically untouched, no one asked if I liked it or comped it from the bill. We split a turkey avo sandwich which was described as having roasted heirloom tomato" on it - it did not. It was sliced garden tomatoes, no roasting whatsoever. The turkey was gross and the avocado spread was brown. There was one thin piece of turkey and one thin slice of tomato on the whole sandwich for $20. No thank you, will never return here. read more

The Copper Fox is a upper-mid scale gastropub located in the heart of Chicago on St. Clair and Ontario St, inside the Courtyard by Marriot hotel. I was meeting a friend here and was able to set it up as a great meeting place for us. While I did enjoy my time at the Copper Fox, I can't say that I left with a desire to come back. The Copper Fox does not really have a stand out setting, a cozy feeling, or the true Gastropub feeling, to me. This truly feels more like just a restaurant attached to the hotel, rather than its own separate amazing place. While their main meals (I got the chicken sandwich and my friend got the burger) were phenomenal, the side of fries and chips were very lack luster for the price tag of the meals. I will say that the Biscuits absolutely make up for it for their flakiness and utter pillowy texture. But at the end of the day, the Copper Fox being a gastropub does not really fit the actual feel inside or by the service staff. Gastropubs should be just as friendly and welcoming as a regular pub, but with bang up food and beer to go with it. For now, there are just too many other places to go before coming back to Copper Fox. read more

Unassuming little pub tucked away in a Marriott along the mag mile. Clean, open, not overly crowded. They have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Breakfast is the typical fare--biscuits, eggs, meat, frittatas. Lunch is sandwiches (burgers, steak, clubs etc) and salads. Dinner is similar to lunch. I had the burger and fries. The burger was juicy and cooked medium as I asked. The fries hot and crispy. I had a mule, their signature drink. It was fine, but a little sweet for a mule. I also had foxy n' famous, a pineapple and mezcal concoction. It wasn't bad, but didn't wow me. The bartender was the only server at the time I visited, but she made sure I always had what I needed. Not a destination restaurant, but I was super hungry in the middle of a touristy museum binge and this was the perfect pit stop! read more

A nice place to stop for a great breakfast any day in downtown Chicago. A cozy restaurant with a modern vibe. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated. We did not have a reservation, but I expect that reservations might be required during peak times on the weekends. Our server was very pleasant, the food brought out in short order, and prices were reasonable. A recommended stop if you need a basic breakfast fix while you're in the city! read more

After being seated we waited for 25 minutes and were not even acknowledged even though staff passed by us many times.

Horrible experience, my partner ordered a wine and they were out so they recommended the red wine Petites Petites (which was not a la carte) and throw up and was felling dizzy. We contacted the restaurant and an Hispanic manager didn't care about our experience and didn't want take any responsibility. Even worse he lied to us, he was supposed to call us back after talking to his general manager and never did. I do not recommend to go somewhere that will make you sick and don't even care. We spent more than $140 and this is how we are treated, that's unacceptable. Run away from them read more

Really poor quality and generally flavorless food. The "nachos" was cold potato chips in a thin, cheesy soup. The steak sandwich extremely mediocre as well. Best thing we ate was the Brussel sprouts and even those were bland. I sincerely think the kitchen at this place needs a significant overhaul. At least the service was pretty good! read more

I booked the private room for one of my VIP guests to host his dinner meeting! Props to the amazing team for making this experience for the event manager, aka me, smooth and easy to book their room and get them in and seated very easily. They also did not uphold crazy high minimums for room dinning like all other restaurants with private rooms around the city. I personally did not try the food, but my VIPs had no complaints so I bet it was delicious! Officially on my VIP dinner restaurant option list! Thank you!!! read more

Stopped in on a Monday night when we were in town. Service was great and the food was amazing. Husband had the Flank Iron Steak Sandwich and I had the Tagliatelle Bolognese. Will definitely stop back next time we are in town. read more

Horrible service. We were 15 minutes early to an empty restaurant but the hostess said we had to wait, but she would not let us sit in the almost empty bar area because that is not allowed. When we were seated in an almost empty restaurant no one welcomed us. We had to track down our own water. When we finally got someone to take our order they were out of what we wanted. The waiter had no idea what was on the menu because we asked a question about an item and he said that he did not know. Entire experience was miserable. read more

It was so good we went back within the hour! Seriously! Stopped by for dinner as it was within walking distance of the hotel. Our server was fantastic and had a great personality that made you feel welcome. I wish I could remember his name! We got the double fox den burger and truffle fries. The fries were some of the best I've ever had! We were headed back to the hotel when friends asked to join us and we ended up going right back to the Copper Fox! They enjoyed it was well along with a small room off to the side for us to chat and enjoy our meal in semi-private setting. We will be back! read more

Just left the bar after waiting over 15 minutes for two drinks that I ended up not even receiving because the bar tender felt it was more appropriate to wipe glasses and empty dish washers before making the drinks he took the order for... better off buying a 12 pack from 7-11 on the corner and bringing that up to your room as the staff here don't give a fuck read more

In our search for nearby food we found this place, and upon seeing they had a free biscuit basket special going with Open Table we made a reservation for 1pm. When we walked in I told the guy who created us we had a reservation and he replied, "As you can see we are pretty full. I can put you here at these couches" While this wasn't ideal we had just got off a plane and needed to eat so we said ok thinking we'd at least get a drink and a snack while we looked for Somewhere else to go and eat a real meal as eating a meal at the low couch tables isn't really possible. When our waiter came over I mentioned the biscuit deal and he said he didn't know anything about it and walked away. I assumed to check but when he came back he didn't say anything about it and just took our drink order. We waited a few more minutes thinking maybe he just placed that order but alas we never did see the biscuits. The drink (old fashioned) was good and the beer was cold but I was truly less than impressed with the staff. read more

Unfortunately, our experience at Copper Fox Gastropub was underwhelming from the start. We were greeted by a friendly host and seated quickly in a booth, but the booth was covered in crumbs and looked worn and dirty - not a great first impression. Our server was kind and prompt, bringing water right away, which we appreciated. However, the dining experience quickly went downhill. I was interested in ordering the cavatappi marinara from the kids' menu, but the manager told our server I wasn't allowed to order it - even though the menu had no age restriction listed. That was disappointing, so I opted not to order anything at all. My husband ordered a burger and described it as mediocre. Our daughter had the chicken tenders, which were your standard heavily breaded tenders - nothing memorable. When it came time to pay, we left cash in the check holder, only for our server to inform us that they are a card only establishment. Nowhere on the menu or in the restaurant was that made clear. That information should absolutely be communicated upfront. The overall vibe was strange and not welcoming. Between the dirty seating, unclear policies, and average food, we left feeling disappointed. We do not recommend and won't be returning. read more

We found Copper Fox while shopping around in Chicago. Very busy area. The restaurant looks fancier than we expected since they're calling it a gastropub, but I don't believe there's a dress code. The hostess wasn't super friendly or welcoming, but our waitress was excellent. We had a party of 6 and all agreed the food was just okay. I had eggs Benedict and it was just bland really. The hollandaise sauce looked and tasted like it was just egg yolk and started to harden like it had been sitting for a little bit. The fruit that came with it was enjoyable. I would eat here again if it was my only option, but will most likely try somewhere else next time. read more

I went here after Beatrix was too full over the weekend in River North. We ordered coffee which was a bit lukewarm (the refill was fresh and piping hot as it should be) and a chorizo hash. My friend ordered a classic American breakfast of scrambled eggs, hash browns, and a side of sourdough which came with your standard Smuckers' jam in classic diner rectangular packets. I wouldn't say the experience or taste was unforgettable, but the service was decent and it was not crowded, which was a plus. read more

My friend and I arrived to a mostly empty restaurant and were told it would be about 35 minutes.

I'm so bummed about our recent experience at Copper Fox, but am reviewing based on this and previous experiences we've had. We came here a few years ago and the food was great and we loved our experience. Their menu is diverse and I remember their burgers being very good. We were with two friends this weekend and decided it would be a good place to walk into. Mind you it was at Patrick's weekend so we knew everywhere was a little hectic so we were elated when we snagged some last minute reservations. When we arrived the hostess told us that it was reservations only (we saw at least half the restaurant was empty tables). I let her know that prior to walking in we made a reservation for 1:30 (it was 1:05) and she told us we could wait at the bar. When we went to sit at the bar to have a few drinks she told us we needed to move to the hotel lobby area. We sat there for 20 minutes, unable to order drinks or appetizers, watched no one walk in, with tables and bar seats still empty, and decided to leave. We felt so unwelcome and like we were an inconvenience, and there were many other restaurants within the immediate area that had open reservations so we went elsewhere. Again I've had a great experience with the food and drinks here prior so those past experiences would be rated way higher, but I cannot get over the icy and rude reception we had. read more
