Lackluster service, average food at best. Glad I wasn't paying the bill. Our server brought everyone's soup but mine and when I reminded her about it she brought the wrong soup...ugh! I then asked our table of eight if I had failed to mention it when ordering or she forgot. They confirmed, she forgot. Maybe she should try writing down the orders the next time she has a large table. Then i received my entree (Salmon) and it was the smallest piece of fish I'd ever seen. Way overcooked and downright awful tasting. Luckily I had some snacks back at my hotel room. Fail read more

Made a reservation for my wifes birthday. Checked in and the ambiance was awesome. Say down and waited for our server, she took her sweet time. Our server wasn't super busy as I watched her when my wifes drink was empty. Server well she sucked I will go back but wont have her as a waitress she was rude and needs training or get a different job read more

Disappointed with their January's lobster roll which was like 1/3 the size of the picture online, and equals half a sandwich in size without any heaping lobster meat to show. read more

Foxfire is a really nice place to go to, usually if you are looking for a fancier meal. However, I came here with my whole family on a Monday and they had a $6 burger deal that I would highly recommend. The burgers were really good and we also had the calamari as an appetizer, and the Creme Bulee as a dessert and both were super good. I definitely want to get back here for a steak dinner soon as the atmosphere and service were very good. read more

We have been here before and the food is very good. Recently, my husband and I went and sat at the bar for the first time. The bartender was nice at the start, but quickly changed. There were infrequent visits to check in on us, ignoring us when asking about the seafood menu and directing us to the steak menu, and THROWING our bill at us without saying anything. This dude was so rude and I've NEVER not tipped, but this guy welcomed it. Won't be back. read more

I visited Foxfire as part of a corporate group dinner. With these, we were given the option of four entrees including steak, two seafood dishes and a vegetarian stuffed pepper dish. Not in the mood for meat, I opted for the stuffed pepper and I was not disappointed. The dish is two char-grilled red pepper halves stuffed with portabella mushrooms, roasted corn, other veggies, goat cheese and balsamic. The dish was well-balanced with sweetness from the corn, creamy goat cheese and sharp balsamic. To complement the main, the peppers were served on top of a red pepper risotto cooked perfectly. For dessert, I had an Amaretti cake that was rich without being heavy. read more

I have been coming here for a few years and really enjoy it. It delivers every time and is really well run. Every single time I have been there a manager or who i assume to be the owner will come up to our table and ask us how our evening was. It has a very cool vibe inside as well with exposed brick and a visible kitchen. Something you really don't see in other restaurants. Great wrap around bar too if you need to wait for a table. Two favorite appetizers are the Asian Calamari and the baked goat cheese. The calamari has a really great sweet and sour sauce on it which really makes it different from calamari you would get at another restaurant. My three favorite entrees on there menu would have to be the Napa Valley Chicken which comes with a great white wine creme sauce. The Scallops are some of the best ive had with a great roasted red pepper risotto. Also you can never go wrong with a steak either here which can have special toppings added. Cant go wrong with a burger or salad either. Overall great place to go for a casual dinner or for a bottle of wine and a great meal. read more

We've tried to like this place, really. Most of our friends rave about it. But the first time we went, the food was just okay. 'Well,' our friends said. 'The service is fantastic.' The next time we went, the service was terrible. It was early and we were mostly ignored, even though we sat near the middle of the room. I think the answer here is that this place WAS pretty good. But that must have been before we got there. This is a place to go to when your favorite place is too full. read more

Really great, have been for Foxfire a few times and definitely look forward to returning again soon!

Excellent service and friendly staff. I had a blue cheese crusted filet, which was cooked to perfection. We had the French onion soup and homemade cream of asparagus soup-hands down the best of both I've ever had. Steak & lobster-melt in your mouth and cooked to perfection. Will definitely return. read more

Have been to this Geneva Gem several times and NEVER a bad experience. Went last night for a birthday celebration with family. Had the date wrapped with bacon as an app. Main dish of scallops and ahi tuna and a beet salad = FANTASTIC!!. To top off the evening we split the Tiramisu and they added a liquor cream on the bottom...OMG it was just amazing. Great service, great food, you cannot ever go wrong here. Congrats to the Father/Son who are owners, keep up the great job and thank you for bringing great quality to our wonderful town :) read more

Horrible bartender! Doesn't acknowledge new patrons and was in no hurry to wait on us for drinks. At least 10 minutes, no greeting of any kind. People we met were ready for another drink. Took his sweet time refilling their drinks too. Guy was super slow, no personality. Get someone else! Food was great! read more

I've been here a few times in the past and it was always good, but when we arrived last night I was a bit leery. We walked in, excited for a good dinner, and were greeted by one of the least personable and service-oriented hostesses I have encountered in my entire life. That left me with a sour taste in my mouth to start the day, but I left feeling fantastic, so that tells you something about how awesome this place is. Our waitress was kind, courteous, and helpful (pressing us to order just moments before the party of 30 was perhaps the most helpful thing a waitress has ever done in my experience). The atmosphere is what you might expect at a relatively pricy steak house. You get the feeling of being high class, but not without being accessible. It's a surprisingly urban spot in the far outskirts of the suburbs. As far as the food goes, I've usually only had burgers and steaks here, which are -- understandably -- delicious. Last night I decided to branch out and try a a Cajun tuna which was almost certainly the best tuna I've had in my life. Add to that a delicious French Onion soup and a baked goat cheese appetizer, and we had a meal that left me as satisfied as I was after hitting some of the finer establishments in Charleston, SC (a place a bit more renowned for great food than my birthplace in the west suburbs). read more

Foxfire, yes? Foxfire, no? The big paw on the fox clock is pointing at "NO". OK - to be absolutely fair - ordering a half rack of ribs at an upscale eatery in an upscale area might seem incorrect. But I LIKE ribs. I was in the MOOD for ribs. And...if they cook even halfway decently...they should be able able to serve an upscale plate at their decidedly upscale prices regardless of what the customer orders. The ribs were, in a word; awful. Not a hint of smoke, lukewarm, and - quite frankly - seemed like they had done a few laps around the block. The sauce was sweet and thick, and did nothing to hide the awfulness of the meat underneath. I have had FAR better at franchise restaurants for far less money. Even the rolls served with the meal tasted suspiciously like the the ones your mom used to buy in a supermarket 12-pack and heat in the oven just before serving Sunday dinner. At these prices, there are far better choices in the area. What does the fox say? "Move on." read more

Ate here a week ago....Amazing lobster roll, and pay the extra dollar for the sweet potato fries! Both were outstanding - one of the best lobster rolls I've ever had, and best sweet potato fries, definitely home made, and not out of a bag! Service is very friendly, and the space was quiet and clean. Great outdoor patio around back for those days when weather permits. I normally don't write reviews, but signed on today to leave a review about another place down the street from here, where I had the worst lobster roll I've ever had, so felt it was only fair to compliment Foxfire on their outstanding one! I live an hour away, but will definitely make the drive again! They were closed today, which is why we went elsewhere, but will check their hours next time! read more

One of our favorite places to go for a date dinner. This time was no different. We arrived around 5pm on a Saturday. Walked right up and were seated immediately. It looks like the sweet spot is before 6:30 because as we were leaving there was the beginnings of a wait. We started with the Fox Fire Red Ale. Who knew they had they own brew? Ours was excellent! A nice compliment to our crab cake appetizer which also was good. My wife had the Salmon Alfredo which she thoroughly enjoyed although it had a few too many noodles compared to the other ingredients. I usually try a filet mignon when ever I'm at a steak place. This time I tried the Filet Oscar. I loved it. the asparagus bed was crisp the filet was juicy and cooked to a pefect medium. It was all topped with a creamy sauce and a crab cake. The service too was attentive. Even though they were getting busy near the end of our stay, our waitress was still attentive and yet not too pushy for us to clear the table. The only reason this is 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the price. $23 for the Salmon Alredo and $36 for the Filet Oscar. Not bad but just a tad higher than our normal fare. read more

We have been here twice now and haven't been disappointed yet. I like the layout and feel of inside. Not overly congested with tables elbow to elbow, open and i like the vibe. Appitizers... Mussels, crab cakes, egg rolls, and steak bruscetta were all good. Especially the mussels! Yum... My favorite thing here. Kids loved the steak with a side of fries off the kids menu. The mahi mahi is outstanding. Salmon was tasty. Sea bass was tasty. Great options to pick from. I really want to try a steak next time or maybe even a burger. We will be back! read more

The Gorgeous Blonde and I enjoyed her birthday meal here. Excellent service, prompt and hot food delivery, and healthy pours. Very knowledgeable waiter had specific information and made good recommendations. He and staff were attentive but did not interrupt, so I could enjoy the sunshine radiating from my date's eyes. Steaks and lobster were great but highlight was banana caramel cake for dessert. Prices were reasonable. Glad I came, initially to support owner for fighting for Liberty. We will be back! read more

i had driven by this place a number of times and had been wanting to try it for a while. Finally went the other night with my fiance. This place did a good job. The restaurant is bigger than you would expect and the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. We arrived on a friday night without reservations and were seated immediately. They have a nice wine list - fiance had a nice Pinot Noir and i opted for a Malbec. We started off with the seafoiod fritter (halibut or trout I think) and it was yummy. I went with a house salad and the chicken, artichokes and blackberry entree. Fiance went with french onion soup as started and then the filet diane for an entree. All the food was excellent. The soup was tasty without being overly salty. The steak was cooked perfectly and came with great roasted potatoes. My chicken was great - the suace was a blackbery flavored balsamic and it was yummy. We tried desserts - i opted for the espresso creme brulee and fiance went wiht the chocolate fusion. Both were great. the service was great - spot on, friendly and helpful. We will return. read more

This was our first time at Foxfire.. Our reservation was for 730, and although the restaurant was quite busy, we were seated immediately. We went with two other couples, neither of whom had dined here before either. Other than my fiancé ordering prime rib, only to find out that they were out, the entire experience was very good. We ordered calamari and stuffed mushrooms which were excellent in taste but a little skimpy on portion size. Our meals, however, were all around excellent. I had the tilapia, which was seasoned very well and was moist. The meal came with soup or salad as well. I ordered the French onion soup and it was very tasty. Most of us ended up bringing home leftovers because the meals were large in size. The service was good as well. We will certainly make another trip back! read more

We had a covid wedding. We used foxfire for food and they sent three staff. I was so grateful. They made our backyard wedding so wonderful. The food was great and the help they offered was great. I highly recommend them for your catering needs. They were spot-on with covid procedures. read more

We have been here several times over the last 7 years. Every experience has been incredible. The food is absolutely amazing and every person here seems to love their job. We met the owners and they take good old fashioned pride in the place the food and the people. Best steakhouse in the area by far. read more

Went there on a Tuesday (9/24/13). Nice atmosphere and decor. Good service. Good-sized portions. But WAY overpriced given the quality of the food. Crab cake appetizer was good, but very salty. Ordered the "house specialty" pork chop meal - my first bite of pork chop nearly burnt my tongue. It was so hot and overcooked, and only continued to get worse as it cooked itself even more on my plate. Asparagus was overcooked and mushy, too. I rarely complain, but when a manager came over to check on us, i had to mention the rock-hard pork chop. He apologized and said the grill was probably "too hot." What? 10 minutes or more later, another full meal arrived. This one was now rare to medium-rare (the original request was medium). Asparagus was done properly on the second attempt. Meanwhile, my daughter's child meal of potatoes and mac/cheese was okay. Maybe it's best to order from the kid's menu here. read more

Excellent food and very personalized service. We were visiting Geneva on business trip & found Foxfire through YELP. Their steaks are the best I have ever had & I am a Texas Girl! Robert, our waiter made the evening so fun with his personal touch, and special attention. read more

I give this place 3 stars only because of the ambiance and the service. The food I ordered was horrible. Ordered the Walleye. Fish was not fresh, fingerling potatoes were hard, piccata sauce was so-so but the fact that the fingerling potatoes were hard? How are they preparing? How are they holding the product? My friend had a Bourbon Duroc Pork Chop. Was huge and looked excellent. I may come back and order a steak - which I think may be their forte. read more

Was lucky to have a friend invite me to Fox Fire For a birthday celebration... the prime rib was outstanding...cooked to order. The blueberry cocktails were outstanding, the bacon wrapped figs superb and the Aviary Vineyards Red Wine Blend absolutely delicious. The staff was attentive but we never felt rushed... can not say enough nice things about our experience. Looking forward to returning ... my treat next visit... soon! read more

My girlfriend and I were trying Foxfire for the first time and using up a Groupon offer as well. Personally, if it were not for her and the fact the waitress was awesome (thanks Marcie or Marcia), I would be giving them only 2 stars!! First off, the place was clean, open and not congested. There were plenty of seats open, but due to not having reservations, we were seated near the bar, which was just fine with us. Started off with a red Wine for my Girlfriend and a Blue Moon for me. Both were perfect. Dinner rolls were brought to the table as well, but seemed they were not fresh made and in fact looked just like the frozen or processed variety. We started off with the Sesame Encrusted Ahi Tuna appetizer, which although appeared to not have been entirely fresh and slightly over-seared, it was tasty. FYI.. the "Micro Greens" they have listed are not much more than Julienne style carrots and cucumber peels!! Very difficult to eat with anything but your hands, if you decided to do so. For dinner, we split the Porterhouse with the FoxFire Style topping (wine sauce and blue cheese). Here is what it says in their menu: Porterhouse - Our 20 oz. Certified Black Angus Beef is a selection of two favorite cuts - New York strip and filet Mignon. Served with your choice of starch. 44- The cut they served us was nothing more than a stringy and full of fat / gristle T-Bone!! This is not the higher quality Porterhouse expected based on the description their Menu implies. I would not be upset, but $44 DOLLARS for a piece of meat that also seemed like it was being covered up by the "Fox Fire Style" sauce.... well, that's just highway robbery!! I wanted to say something, but my girlfriend said no, lets just go, and we will probably not return.... sad, really sad! read more

So .. one of the best steaks I've ever had for a great price !! I have been all over the country and world and Alberta Canada has fantastic beef and the best steaks but this place for sure is up in the top 5 for me ! I am working here at the moment and will go back to try more items because everything I had was fantastic. Thanks Dylan for being awesome see you again very soon like tonight right after work !!! read more

Just before our baby was born, we decided to shoot out and get a "last meal" out of the house and we ended up at Foxfire (11/30/2007). I guess it was sort of a celebration and to our wonderful surprise, and despite mediocre reviews both here and on other sites/people, we had a wonderful night out. First, we arrived without a reservation, but since it was only 6:00, we had no problem getting a table. We started out with the warm goat cheese appetizer. Although a bit pricey, the quantity justifies the price. We also both ordered the French Onion Soup (which is $2.50 with an entree) and were happy to see that the onions were carmelized and cooked through. Although the cheese was just a bit lacking, the soup was very good on a very cold night. MK ordered the chicken and ribs combo. The sauce was a bourbon-based sauce, and I had the Ribeye, with the Cajun crust. Both of our meals were great. Although MK wasn't as big of a fan of the sauce as she thought she would be, she said that the chicken and the ribs were tender and cooked properly. My cajun seasoning was knock 'yer socks off good and spicy. Exactly what I want. MK's potato choice was scalloped potatoes and I got the garlic mashed and both were good. The vegetables however were pretty raw and they were green beans and carrots. We're not big on the raw veggies. At least put a decent steam on them and soften them just a bit, or have them warm enough to put butter on them or something else. I know this is just us, so feel free to disagree. We also had desert. MK had the carrot cake w/cream cheese topping and I had the over-indulgent chocolate cake. Both were very good and the chocolate cake made a trip home because I just couldn't eat any more. This is definitely a spot we'll visit again and bring friends. My only other complaint was that the pacing tended to be slower than it could be, but not SO bad that we were waiting forever. Just noticeable on a cold night, with a very pregnant woman who could have popped at any time. read more

Nice inside, requested to sit by the fire, but it was reserved - so make a note to them if you want to sit by the fire when making your reso. Sat for about 10 minutes before a server came by and then it took a while for our drinks to come - martini and beer. I ordered the french onion soup - it was good, but it could have been hotter, i have a feeling the waiter didn't pick it up right away. It wasn't that busy, so I'm not sure why service was so slow. I ordered a beef tenderloin special - each 3 oz piece had a different crust, one blue cheese, one peppercorn, one horseradish - they were all very tasty, good piece of meat however my steaks were cooked to medium when I ordered them cooked to medium rare. my husband had the steak salad - the salad was fine, but don't expect much steak, they were puny skewers that, because they were so small, were also over cooked. bread basket was delicious and hot. overall, wasn't the perfect dining experience, but a good value / price for quality. will definitely go back and try again! read more

We came here for a busy Valentines dinner. Our reservation was for 8:30, so we showed up at 7:00, put our name in, and waited the 40 minutes until our seating across the street at a bar. Perfect. The steak was perfection. Really. I asked for medium/medium well, and with a confused look, my waitor made it happen. Thanks waitor! This is excellence on a plate! My sweet potato even came with the special whipped butter and brown sugar on the side-- that's the way to do it. The bf's porkchop was also excellent, but not gonna lie, he was a little jealous of my filet mignon. The bus boys were very attentive, our waitor was a little busy, and I would ask for the crab cakes to be a little more crispy on the outside. But, our experience was great. And, they let us sit there as long as we wanted, with no pressure. I appreciate it, Foxfire. Thanks. And thanks to groupon, for letting us know about this place in the first place! read more

Great service from this family owned gem. The Mediterranean Ribeye was off the chain! Really enjoyed the shrimp dejohnge as well. White chocolate raspberry cheesecake was delightful. Best of all the service was impeccable! Thank you Fox fire! read more

FoxFire - Great ambiance! - Steakhouses Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

First bad meal/service I've had here. 1. We were given our food and then had to ask for utensils, napkins and water. (Our waiter could have been new, IDK.) 2. Came for the Monday burgers and they were nowhere nearly as good as before. They seemed smaller and the fries were atrocious: very skinny, greasy, overcooked (too crunchy). What happened to the delicious steak fries you used to have? I will not be recommending this restaurant anymore. Disappointed. read more

Just went here for the first time for birthday dinner. The ambiance of this restaurant is fantastic! Very warm and cozy! Great food as well. I would even say it was the best porterhouse steak I've ever had. Their Asian calamari cannot be missed either. Super friendly staff as well! Definitely check this place out if your in Geneva area! read more

FoxFire - Parmesan crusted porterhouse steak - Steakhouses Near Me - Geneva, Illinois

Had never been here before but passed it many times. Finnally decided to pick up food from their for my wife for her bday.she got a steak and mac and cheese and I got chicken alfrado..it was delicious! read more

The only reason I gave one star on this is because they did have a cute atmosphere. Cute patio area and live music. However, the food was very overpriced for some plates such as the Chicken Alfredo. I expected a much larger portion for $25.00. And maybe our server was having a bad day, but wow......it was bad. We had to track her down (after finishing a a full beer and being patient) to place our food order and then ask the bus boy to send her back to get out check. We also noticed another table just get up and give her their bill because they got tired of waiting. read more

I so wanted to love this place! Cute cozy and the owner was there to welcome us, he told us he was giving us his best server SAM and he was correct, she was great. My husband had me google the best place to get a steak, that's all he wanted was a steak. We ordered and when Sam brought them she asked us each to cut into them and make sure it was ok everyone's was perfect except my husbands and he asked for it to be cooked a little more. She took it to the cook and he he made a very loud comment "Are you kidding me " awkward because we were at the table right in front. By the time we got it back my husband was so uncomfortable he did not eat. Sam took the steak off our menu but the owner never approached our table. When we left the cook gave us a very uncomfortable watch out the door! Really a shame but when I go out to eat I want to feet comfortable. Sorry I cannot recommend this place read more

The place were the dish up is done is visible to the guest sitting and it is dirty disorganize and send already a red flag on the quality of the operation We ordered the goat cheese and tomato sauce as an appetizer it was ok but the bread was cold and hard The steak was very greasy and the bake potato dried up by been bake long before serving It was also lukewarm Service is ok but the overall experience was not great This is unfortunately a one start steak house read more

Whoever the bartender was tonight...you suck! If I didn't know any better I'd think you were intentionally ignoring my girlfriend and I... I can't believe you tried to charge us full price for our beers when everything was clearly on special for draft night. I also should have checked my carry out order because it was not at all what I ordered! You were super attentive to everyone else at the bar...I'd love to know why! Why did it take over a half an hour and asking twice before your bus boy brought water to us? Definitely felt out of place and I absolutely hate when staff treats you like you're a waste of time! Your owner is super sweet but your bartender....not so much. read more

Went out for a nice dinner with my wife. Didn't know it was $6 burger night. Don't go on Monday unless you want the burger deal. We waited a long time for drinks and much longer for food. The lobster tails were not fully cooked. My cooked food arrived long after my wife's filet. Disappointing experience. I do appreciate the gift card to cover the lobster. Would have rather had a good experience. read more
