Been waiting to eat here but reservations have been hard to come by. The previous business was a regular for us but the new restaurant is a step up in decor and menu. Maybe a couple of steps. They open at 4:30 and as long as you arrive in the first half hour you will likely get a table. After that you may have to be satisfied with bar seating which looks just fine. The French Onion Soup was good but different. The ratings drop is because my entree arrived before I even got halfway through the soup. Not good! Chicken Parm was quite nice. Too full to try dessert.
Table for 4....this place is awesome....small and intimate and busy....best not take chances and secure a reservation ...out waiter was attentive...friendly and helpful...portions huge and tasty....bathroom clean and tastefully papered with fox on the run...nice treat....
Wow!! This place really surprised me. I have heard good things about it and was excited to try it out to myself. The restaurant is cute and cozy, a tad bit loud when it gets crowded though. The food was delicious, great flavors! My favorites were the foccocia with whipped ricotta and black truffle honey, the friend chicken sandwich with Calabrian chilis... so tender and juicy and the perfect amount of heat, and huge! The real star was the dry aged tavern burger. A simple burger with great ingredients and so juicy and flavorful. One of the best burgers I've had at a restaurant and would go back just for that. The cocktails were just as delicious and creative. From the olive oil gin washed martini to the Smokey and sweet crimson ember. Service was good. It was a bit crowded so it took a while to get refills on waters but the food came out fast and hot!
What a cute place! It's apparently new and it was hopping! We couldn't get a table, but grabbed some seats at the bar. I failed to take photos of the food and drinks but they were presented nicely and the food was delicious. I had the chicken tenders and a "ain't got no thyme." I recommend both, can't wait to go back and try more of their dishes!
Totally was worth the hype!! Everyone loved their burgers and each was cooked to our liking. The lemondrop sour was perfectly tart and balanced, and the focaccia with whipped ricotta was a great start. Absolutely loved the decor and lighting, and our server was wonderful. Loved my experience here, looking forward to coming back and trying other things on the menu!
Food was great, onion soup must be made with beef bones, full of flavor and caramelized onions. I ordered the burger, came med rare with cheese and asked for a dippy egg, no problem., perfect - Fries were crispy and done like the burger- perfect. Sat at the bar and met up with a great bartender from another restaurant- Jen , she remembered my Manhattan and enjoyed my meal at the bar. New favorite hidden restaurant gem.
Stopped in on a Thursday evening and sat at the bar. The décor is fabulous--warm, inviting, very clean, and giving an upscale 1950s vibe. It's a huge improvement from what was here before. The staff is top-notch: friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Drinks were good, averaging $12-$14. I ordered the Linguini alla Frutti di Mare (shrimp, mussels, calamari in a white wine lemon butter sauce) for $35. Hubs had the burger and fries for $19. Hubs said the burger was probably the best he has had. Mine was good, but adding cheese would've taken it to the next level. While the quality is there, at this price point I would've appreciated bread with a garlic dipping sauce or a small salad included. Portion sizes were fair--not huge, not small. I left full without needing a to-go box. The biggest downside was the bar stools--pretty uncomfortable, my back hurts. Also, while I was eating, the owner had a long, loud conversation with someone sitting next to me. Not ideal when you're trying to enjoy a meal. As I was finishing my food they finally ended the conversation. For two people with drinks, food, and tip, the total was $145. Overall, great atmosphere and service.
We visited foxhole tavern after seeing it as a newer restaurant in pittsburgh. We got the steak frites, Demi baguette with Amish butter and brussel sprouts with garlic aioli. The food was very good and we enjoyed our meal. We cannot wait to try more items and return! The service was slow/understaffed. I believe there were only 2 servers for the whole restaurant with all tables full and rotating new tables all night. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a check after we finished eating. Additionally, the restaurant was very loud and made it difficult to talk within our group. Also, was able to hear our neighbors and tables over. I think the restaurant needs to considered some sound absorbing tiles under the tables. I think this restaurant has some kinks to work out as far as noise, service, overall flow but the food was great and I can't wait to go back!
This is a great new dinner spot. Parking was easy, it's in a cute area, and is an elevated tavern vibe. Food was incredible, we both had steaks and enjoyed them. The star of the show was definitely the brussel sprouts which are on a garlic aioli spread, I could've rated the whole order myself. The cosmo was good, they had lots of other cocktail, wine and beer options. The restaurant was busy, but service was pretty attentive. My only critique is that the noise level was high, it's a small space that echoed quite a bit and it was difficult to hear our server and even speak to each other. I'm sure this restaurant will be successful and we will definitely be back!
Total makeover from prior owner. Looks very nice, friendly staff with a nice selection of signature drinks. We sat at the completely renovated bar with a warm tones throughout.
Went here for my mother in law's birthday. Such a cute place with parking across the street. All of the staff was great. Very kind and attentive. Our food was really good. From our party of five, four of us had the French onion soup. All of us agreed that it was good but the bread was way too hard. Weird but ok. The entrees were all delicious . Fish and chips, bunless burger, steak au poivre and the pork chop. Dessert was also good. Drinks were spot on. Our server, Kelly, was awesome. Try this place if you're in the area.

Quite solid food, but in my opinion, overrated and overhyped. Quite expensive as well. Perhaps I just got the wrong things? I got to try their fish and chips as well as the sticky toffee pudding. The fish and chips was okay. Really not much seasoning in the fish, though. Batter was solid, but some spots had disproportionate amounts of batter. The chips were also pretty bland and not as soft as I would have preferred them, but still fine. Decent portion. This might have been my first time trying sticky toffee pudding in the Burgh. Came with nice ice cream. It was also solid, and I like that they split up the hot and cold for the takeout. But it was also just lacking something. Not sure what exactly. The vibe inside seemed pretty cool. All in all, a solid spot. Probably a bit overpriced, but solid quality. read more

Foxhole Tavern is a local restaurant and bar that opened months ago and serves dinner. Its menu lists starters (e.g., oysters, shrimp cocktail, and surryano ham), salads, entrees (e.g., fish and chips, chicken parmesan, and steak frites au poivre), sides (e.g., Brussels sprouts and artichokes), desserts (e.g., sticky toffee pudding), and drinks (e.g., cocktails, wines, and beers). Through OpenTable, I made a reservation for my husband and me. Our seating hostess and our waiter promptly and politely served us. Please note that despite what OpenTable says, the dress code is actually pretty casual. The waiters were wearing jeans and t-shirts, as were many customers. Here are my ratings for what we ate: French Onion Soup - 4.5 stars - It could have used a little more gruyère cheese (I could NOT get a cheese pull), but the broth had a wonderfully rich flavor, and I liked the croutons. Sicilian Chicken Strips - 4 stars - The chicken was juicy, and the breading was crispy and spicy. The strips came with Calabrian ranch. Bucatini with Pesto and Shrimp - 3.5 stars - Four large, juicy shrimp were on top of a large bed of bucatini with a pesto sauce. A few cherry tomatoes were also included. My husband said that the pesto needed to be stronger. I thought that it tasted alright, and I ate some of it. Dry-aged Tavern Burger - 3.5 stars - Sesame bun was filled with a non-greasy beef patty that had a red-pink center, caramelized onion, special sauce, and American cheese. On the side were crispy, seasoned fries. My husband said that the burger was a bit plain, and he would prefer to add more toppings for flavor. He ate about half of the burger. The total price was $82 plus a tip. read more
