Got a turkey club sandwich and it was TERRIBLE. Turkey was slimy, hardly any tomatoes and no mayo. Asked for mayo and not sure what she brought but was not mayo; terrible. Chips tasted like they were made with old oil. Waited 45 minutes for food. Tables of 4 had food coming out to the people at all different times. Refilling soda glasses from pitchers of soda that was flat. Most everyone was complaining. Sad. The restaurant used to be really good. read more

We were staying locally in Waterville, Pennsylvania and we asked one of the hotel staff where we could get breakfast the next day. She told us about this place. Bingo! Our breakfasts were the best we've had in a long time. Definitely would recommend. Great service and cool historic memorabilia. read more

I will start with the food was well prepared and delicious. I was told service was slow, but things went great on our visit. We did breakfast, portions were acceptable, refills on the coffee. The place is quite old but well taken care of. Will probably make this a regular morning spot with my wife for breakfast at least once a week now that we are both retired. Quiet place no drama multi age customers. read more

Fox's Market House Restaurant - Basic omelette - American Near Me - Lock Haven, Pennsylvania

I came in here and ordered a reuben and fries and I'M STILL waiting for it and hour later. I'm waiting for.it as I'm typing. The waitresses only came.one time and asked if.i wanted a drink. No apologies or attention. This is terrible and unacceptable. read more

Food is good, just a basic breakfast place but don't go here unless you have a lot of time to kill. Your food will take at least 40 minutes regardless of how busy it is or what you order. read more

I love Eggs Benedict and have had it in 100's of restaurants. So when I found this place for breakfast, I was excited to see they offered it. I have no hesitation in saying, this might be the best Eggs Benedict I have had. The hollandaise sauce was the perfect balance between acid and creamy. The eggs were poached perfectly and had the right amount of ham. On my first visit I had the optional onions and peppers with my home fries. I didn't care for them. Not sure what kind of seasoning they used, but it wasn't for me. On my second visit, I had the without the onions and peppers, which were much better. One thing that I couldn't believe was the price. $8.50 for Eggs Benedict and hone fries is almost unbelievable. Most restaurants charge $12.00 or more, so great value. Here are the two negatives: 1. The kitchen is very slow. On both visits I waited more that a half hour. Other dinners were also waiting a long time. It isn't a big issue for me being retired, but for someone heading to work, it could be an issue. Second issue is the restaurant looks very tired and worn out. It really needs to be remodeled, but then the $8.50 Eggs Benedict will go up to over $12.00. All in all, not a bad place to eat. read more

We were told 20 min wait to get table. Then we ordered food and waited another hour. When we asked how much longer, they told us another 30 minutes or more. It was cold in the restaurant. Sad we were not told it would be 2 hours. We would not have wasted our time. We left. VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!! On a very positive note, we went to Dutch Haven. Great food. Inviting atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

Hours are terrible. They serve breakfast but not until 9:30 am. Several HOURS about most people need to eat. Thumbs down. Just got threatened on Facebook by people that I believe work in their kitchen. read more

this bitch slaps, best atmosphere and love the people that own and run it. especially steph, the best customer service ever

Enjoyed a meal here after visit to the Piper Museum in town. Service was a little slow. Large menu selection. Some of us had breakfast and the rest of us had lunch. The restaurant is pretty large, no issues finding parking. Our favorites were the artichoke and spinach dip and the pancakes. read more

So 6 of us went into foxes today and Stephanie was very very rude. She just blurted out I don't have a table for six. I have a 15 coming in and I have a table for 4. I'm like do you have extra chair. She like no I have a table for 4. But when we got there. There was only 4 people up in stair section. There was enough that she could have put together even after the reserved 15 came. She could have made it work. Anyway my point is the way she goes about it. She's rude and just because your over worked don't take it out on the people who keep you open She needs to learn how to talk to people. This is not the first time that she was nasty with me. So you know what I'm done going there. If you can't treat your loyal customers with respect you don't deserve us. read more

Ordered crab cakes. Picture showed large cakes with lots of crab meat. The cakes were very small, contained mostly breading with very little meat. Very underwhelming especially for the price. read more

We went for a Sunday breakfast after reading a little of the history. The building is almost 150 years old and used to be a farmers market. So the food was good when it finally arrived. We sat for nearly a half hour while nursing our coffee. Surprising because when we arrived there was only a few table. I would have been ok if the places was packed. Nice that we got a carafe of coffee so we didn't have to keep asking for refills while waiting. Like I said, the food was good though expensive. 2 eggs w/bacon & French toast w/ bacon came to over $20. Think overpriced! read more

Wait times were awful, came in at 945 am and was not served until 11:15, the horrible wait time could not even be overlooked by service because our service is likely the worst service I've ever had in my life. Our waitress didn't check on us during our incredibly long wait, we were all out of drinks and when our food did come (food was great)... we finished our meals with still NO DRINKS. I would give this place negative stars if I could. I used to enjoy this establishment but I can tell you I will never be back. And I would encourage you to go elsewhere, even the food quality can't make up for the experience I had. read more

The menu is pretty extensive and prices are quite reasonable. The dinner I ordered was very good, and included a salad or soup, as well as a choice of side dish. The problem was service was so slow. We waited over an hour for our food. There wasn't a large crowd either. I don't think we would risk that happening again and will not be returning. The restaurant was also extremely cold. read more

this use to be my fav place for breakfast what happened eggs wernt even cooked egg whites were runny they changed the pancakes somehow idk they were terrible they cut the homefries in half and prices went up took 45 mins to get food im done ill never go back sad read more

I always enjoy the atmosphere. The waitresses are like family, and the food is always on point. I had a friend with me for breakfast and my wife and I came in for supper. I wouldn't change a thing. read more

Our favorite restaurant. Love the music genre played and grateful it is not too loud. No matter what you order it is always good. Don't change anything. read more

Alright it's over. The vaccinated don't need masks any more. A big sign at the front door. Saying masks no exceptions. I turned around and drove to Loganton for a meal. That doesn't care about masks. Besides the mask thing. Please start hiring wait staff that cares about their job. It's getting old watching the staff stand at the bar sitting area. Playing on their phones when your food is ready. We can all see it in the window. It's sad this restaurant turned into this. Because the food is really still good. But the wait staff is killing it. read more

We usually get Kristi as a server and she always knows what we usually order . She is very efficient and serves everyone as they come in order and still checks on the ones who have been there before to make sure everyone is well taken care of. The food is really great and usually not too salty which is fantastic because I am on a low sodium diet. The restaurant is always clean and beautiful. A great place to eat. Sometimes we get Jen and she does a great job as well they both know what we like and they both also suggest other things to us. Love them both. read more

I asked for additional ingridients for my plate, and the waitress said they couldn't do it because of shortage on personnel, it was father's day, I went with my wife and daughter so guess how I felt? read more

Visited Lock Haven this past weekend, and had previously read Scyler's review, which was spot on. Fox's is a family restaurant that has good food at decent prices, located in the Historic Market House. All of their sandwiches come with kettle chips and a pickle spear. We tried: The Locks (grilled chicken, provolone, dijon honey in a pita 6.25), Church Street Chicken (grilled chicken on a croissant with sliced apples & bleu cheese dressing 6.25) also the Haddock Sand (4.75) and Piper Cheesesteak (6.00) Service was okay, they accept cash, visa or MC. Our waitress got our drinks & soup quickly, and it took about 10-15 minutes for all our food to be served. The restuarnt was packed, which is usually a good sign. large dessert selection available also. free parking next to the restaurant. read more

we usually enjoy the food in this restaurant, but our last time we went here for supper the service was very slow due to them only having ONE waitress which doesn't make sense to me. we waited over 20 mins to get a drink, then the waitress told us after about a 30 min wait for our food the food will be out, the people next to us who showed up about 15 mins. after us got their food before us. my husband and I got upset and got up and left. there needs to be more than one person waiting on tables. needless to say we will never return to this place again!! read more

Cute little restaurant, the food is nothing fancy but the price is right and the portions are generous. My one complaint is that my hash browns were too salty. Service was friendly and we did not have a problem with long wait times for food on a Sunday morning. Love the history of the building on the front of the menu too. read more

This restaurant is always hit or miss. Sometimes it is decent and other times it makes you question your life choices. Orders are usually taken promptly but the wait time is ridiculously long . The food is usually good. However the AYCE fish Friday is a complete sham. You wait forever for two puny pieces of fish. I swear they get smaller each time I go. Then when you want more you are met with disappointment. Wait time for a refill can be from 10-20 minutes. Then they dump a single puny piece on your plate. I don't know how the waitress can look you in the face seriously while serving that mess. This place could use a major food upgrade read more

If I couldn't give them a star I'd be happy. Once in July my family got turned away... cuz the workers just didn't want to work. Tonight our family once again got turned away. We are a family of 7 now due to a birth of a child and family visiting. The workers could care less. They wouldn't give us 2 tables side by side. They also wouldn't try to push the tables they had available together. They just said they couldn't fit us, when they had available space. Very disappointed and will never get our family's business again. read more

We were in town attending a conference at Lock Haven University and arrived in town after dark, unfamiliar with the area, and hungry. Fox's was suggested by a few colleagues at our hotel, so we gave it a go. Although we agree with some previous feedback that the wait time is prolonged after ordering, the food was good, and came in generous proportions. Our server was kind, friendly, and responsive to our needs. The cost for our dinner was very reasonable. No regrets going here and would return when in the area. read more

I got to Fox's nearly every time I'm back in Lock Haven because they consistently serve great food at fair prices. The service is prompt and friendly and gives you that hometown feel. They're known for their delicious breakfast (which I highly recommend), but they also have great steak/chicken salads and sandwiches. Stop on in for a great place to get a bite in the Lock Haven area. read more

Fox's Market House Restaurant - Grove Street salad with steak. - American Near Me - Lock Haven, Pennsylvania

Good food, friendly service, abysmal wait time. 3.5 rounded down to a 3 Food is fresh, generally well seasoned and prepared, and the price point is appropriate. Shoutout to the pork prime rib and soups (take your pick, they're all tasty). Wait staff is friendly, though they easily get overwhelmed when the restaurant is more than half full (which, to be honest, it rarely is). What keeps this at a 3 instead of a 4 is the horrible wait times. The restaurant never has much patronage, so I can only imagine they stay in the black by employing a single chef. I can't recall a single visit to Fox's that didn't make at least one member of the party late to whatever they needed to do next. If time isn't a concern, give it a try. Otherwise, and on the whole in the lock haven area, there are better options. read more

We went for breakfast. Restaurant was pleasant and clean. Breakfast menu had many choices, reasonable prices. Server was prompt and friendly and able to make suggestions. We ordered a short stack of buttermilk pancakes with bacon; eggs Benedict with hash browns; coffee for two. The coffee was fresh ground and served in a large insulated carafe with two large cups, very good coffee. The pancakes were crispy, light and very fluffy. The bacon was very crisp and tasty. Delightfully yummy. The eggs Benedict was the best I have had in many years, eggs poached perfectly with runny yolks, well toasted English muffin, a great mix of textures and flavor with the Hollandaise sauce and Canadian Bacon. So very good! read more

Fox Market House is a sit down restaurant in Downtown Lock Haven right by the on ramp to 220. It has been around for many years and has a variety of good food for a good price. The wait staff is very friendly and the restaurant sports a friendly family vibe. It usually gets fairly busy on Sundays as it is a popular place for people going to church nearby. My fiance and I ate here again yesterday after I had seen a letter to the editor saying that they basically ignore you. When we went in to the restaurant we were seated right away. Not like the letter to the editor where they stated they were not even shown a seat and had to seat themselves after 40 minutes. The waitress was very attentive to us refilling our drinks several times and even bringing a carafe' to keep at our table. The letter stated that they sat there for over 30 minutes and were not served at all. The food was hot and good My fiance had a club and I had a chicken cheesesteak minus the cheese. (each order came with kettle chips and a pickle wedge) and we had ordered beer battered fries as well. The total bill only came to $18.00 and some change for both of us. You can also get the breakfast lunch and dinner menu served to you at anytime. I found it nothing like the letter to the editor stated and in fact have decided to make it more of a regular stop when we eat out instead of some of the other places we go to. read more

I ordered a cheesesteak for lunch and asked how thin the steak was cut and generally if the waitress thought it was good. She had no idea, just said, "its a cheesesteak." I ordered a beer that was on the menu, but was told they didn't have it and they only had 4 different beers. My cheesesteak came. It tasted good, but it was on a roll not much bigger than a hotdog roll. So it was gone in a few bites. The cost $6.75- can you say rip-off!! The waitress come with my bill and I put my card down, she said I have to take it up front. What is this? This place is dead (no wonder) and you can cash me out? I won't be coming back here. The are much better places to eat in lock haven! Stella A's for one!! read more

Always have an amazing perfect breakfast here. I love their home fries with peppers and onions. Perfect lunch specials. The Roxy Reuben is very good. Definitely recommend this restaurant read more

Stopped for breakfast on a Saturday morning and the service was good. The breakfast was really good. I got 2 eggs, ham, hash Browns and ham. The food again was great. However we had to wait about 45 minutes to get the food. Fortunately I was with a friend I had not seen in awhile so we had a lot of catching up. I will return. Only complaint was the wait. read more

Great Atmosphere, and the food is all around good. Their breakfast is by far the best, but the lunch and dinner, however, need some improvement. If they only served breakfast, I would give it 4.5 stars. There are some really cool knick knacks all throughout the restaurant too. The service is friendly, and the food is relatively cheap. I would recommend this to anybody in the area. read more

It makes me sad eating here because I always say "maybe they will impress me this time" but unfortunately never do. The food is good don't get me wrong, it is.... BUT if you plan on getting your food within an hour of ordering prepare to be disapointed. I have now eaten here about 5 times, twice by my choice, three times meeting family or friends and this was the place they picked. No matter the number of wait staff, or the time of the day, no matter the number of customers or the lack their of you will wait atleast an hour for your meal. Salad or steak it doesn't matter. So, unless you are trying to milk out a lenthy date I would not recommend this place. read more

If you are ever in Lock Haven, you have to take the time to eat a Fox's. I love the family setting, the wonderful staff that is extremely friendly and since I work in the area, most of them know me by name. The food is great and you get more for your money than most places which is great for the wallet. My personal favorites are the Church Street Chicken Sandwich (grilled chicken breast and granny apple slices on a crescent roll) and the Mandarin Chicken Salad (Salad made with grilled chicken chunks, mandarin oranges, almonds, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, dressing, etc... in a crisp shell)... ooohhhh that just hits the spot. I think I know where I am going for lunch today. Honestly Stop by, relax, enjoy the food, friendly staff, and get away from the greasy fast food joints. read more

The food is okay, I feel like it's hard to mess up typical diner food. It's not the best but it's okay. Staff is friendly but the service is terribly slow. Expect your food to take 45 minutes to be served even if it's just a deli sandwich. My friend ordered a simple omelet towards the end of of our meal to go since he didn't like his pancakes since they were over cooked. And after waiting for 50 minutes and continually asking where his order was, he asked for a refund, which the cashier at the front said the manager would be out. Another ten minutes went by and the manager never showed up. We ended up just leaving. The facility is clean, and has good off street parking. But I would not recommend going here. read more

This place was awesome! They have an all-day breakfast but even better on Friday they have a really good buffet. I definitely would come back if I was visiting the area again; really good food and really good service. read more
