    The Fox is a solid bar with lots of great food options. There are not many bars that I would walk into and order a salad. It was delicious and fresh. The shrimp were cooked really well and full of flavor. The bartender was servicing the entire restaurant at the time and he was doing a great job. The vibe is is nice- it's not up scale but it's not divey. It's a great spot for an after work happy hour or casual date

    This is a review for a Friday afterwork. I decided to try this place because I hadn't tried it yet and they had happy hour. I arrived first and sat at the bar. James, the bartender was nice and knowledgeable. I ordered a happy hour mule, but something seemed off with the drink. I asked him what type of ginger beer was in the mule? It was fever tree, which is one that I drink regularly. I asked to see the well vodka and was informed it was new, and i was like I never saw that brand before. I tried a rum and coke next, and that didn't taste much better. I decided to leave the happy hour mixed drinks alone and get a glass of wine. You can't go wrong with wine. I ordered the Montepulciano, and it was delicious. My friends and I moved to one of the high-top tables towards the back of the restaurant. We decided to try some of the happy hour bites. The beef sliders were good, I didn't really enjoy the loaded tater tots or the truffle fries. I would go back to the venue and try some other food options. It is a great venue to watch sports.

    Rainy day, but we were still protected outside!

    My friend was visiting out of the country and only had one day left before she went back - a freaking rainy Sunday. She really wanted to do brunch with me, and hash browns, which I learned are a super American thing. The Fox had been on my list, and I could have SWORN one of their online menus had hash browns, so we trudged over there and opted to sit outside, covered by the awnings in a strategic spot where the rain couldn't touch us no matter what. THEN discovered the brunch menu did not have hash browns. That's fine. They DID have home fries. I always forget that she's a vegetarian, but they had a vegetarian omelet for her, and I got the shrimp and chorizo omelet. At $16-$18, these are some expensive omelets. While good, was it $18 good? 1 star gets knocked for the exorbitant pricing. We also opted for the $20 bottomless brunch mimosa thing, though we each had to get it separately (you can't share; and while it's a GOOD price for bottomless, we wanted to recoup those damn omelet prices lol). The drinks were tasty though! Since it was a rainy, gloomy Saturday, there was no wait and plenty of seating, which we wanted, and staff was down to earth and attentive, especially with the bottomless drinks. It was a very cool vibe and since this place is in my neighborhood, I'll have to come back, especially to try the pigs n a blanket!

    We had a good time at the Fox restaurant. It's a male host and staff unil later. I like that the bare very attentive to your needs while sitting in their establishment. Music good, service great and food needs a little seasoning but good. We will definitely be back. The atmosphere is good. Happy Hour is ok... needs more flavors for the margarita's. Happy hour wings are fresh, fries a little greasy but that's what you need when you drink.....Overall, The Foxwill have me foxtrottin again and again.

    Cool interior (and exterior - love the mural!) friendly staff, and overall welcoming neighborhood vibe. Our fries tasted like the oil was a little old, but that didn't spoil a great afternoon.

    Another wonderful addition to Harlem's restaurant row aka Frederick Douglas Blvd Each of Serena Bass' restaurants are wonderful in the menu (food and drinks) as well as ambience and atmosphere which is carefully cultivated and The Fox is no different- this type the wonderful food and drinks create a nice chill sports bar feel - but one you could bring the whole family to! * Highly recommend the vegetarian chili w tumeric rice + Cavatappi and Cauliflower Gratin - YUM!! + blissful cocktails made w care (and fresh mint!)

    I often find myself looking for nice after work Harlem spots. One of my good friends suggested this sports bar so I decided to check it. I was pleasantly surprised.The Fox has a pleasant vibe and is very spacious with 8 large screen TV's broadcasting different sports networks.The young ladies who assisted me were very friendly and the music was on point.They just played one of my favorite Kanye West songs(I wonder) I came on a Friday about 6pm(happy hour 4-7)and really enjoyed the ambiance. I definitely will be returning and recommend Fox for a nice date, friends night out, or alone to just chill as I did.

    Cool low key hangout spot in Harlem with a fair amount of outdoor seating and plenty of indoor seating and TV's if you're into watching sports. They have lots of sports pictures on the wall and a food all table in the back. I love the energy here! I came on a Sunday evening it was a good vibrant crowd and 2000's hip hop playing. Music was kind of loud, but I could still hear my friend speak. The service here was quick and friendly. I ordered the Vegetarian Chili which came with Mushroom, Eggplant, Onions, Cannellini and Garbanzo Beans, Tomato, Ancho Chili Pepper, Cumin, and Cinnamon. It was a large portion and tasty especially for a carnivore. The dish came with nacho chips a decoration. All and all a solid experience and I'd come back again.

Enough space to feel like you're not on top of each other, but not really a place for huge parties. Probably great to do a buyout for birthdays, etc. The happy hour (food & drink) is affordable with a nice selection and runs a good length of time (5-7pm). The non-happy hour menu is the real gem though. A little pricey for the neighborhood, but the quality is on par with cocktail bars down in the villages, so well worth it. Service is quick without being overbearing, and casual without being lazy. Handsome bartender and server. Better to make a reservation later into the night closer to and on the weekend because the space fills up fast. *will update this review when I've tried more of the food*

The tacos esp the mushroom hibiscus was delightful & fresh something I've never tried before but will again. The wings and shishito peppers were so full of flavors and happily eaten. Now the cocktails...wow!!! Every cocktail was refreshing, thought out and beautiful. Pure art! My fav was the Paper Plane and my husband's was martini with caviar (the caviar made it taste like a dirty martini! Genius!) The beautiful decor and relaxed vibe is mixed with neighborhood foodies and diversity of age and backgrounds gives a warm inviting feeling as soon as you enter. The staff were welcoming, kind, attentive and never overbearing. It's a perfect meet up for 2-4 people, comfortably.

    I don't even know where to begin. From the moment you walk in, the staff sets the tone--warm,…read moreattentive, and deeply intentional. There's a camaraderie in the room that invites you to slow down, connect, and truly experience both the conversation and the food. Everything feels considered. My best friend and I each ordered the prix fixe menu, and it was a journey from start to finish. I began with the Spicy Corn & Coconut Soup--honestly, unforgettable. The crispy shallots added just the right amount of texture against the velvety base, and each spoonful layered flavor in a way that felt both comforting and elevated. For my main, I had the kichuri, and Chef Alex Guzman absolutely shines here. He is a star--full stop. There's a clarity and confidence in his cooking that you can taste. The cilantro chutney was perfection, and the way the mint lingers alongside the spice... it's the kind of balance that only comes from someone who truly understands their craft. You can feel his care in every bite. I ended with the key lime pie, and all I can say is thank you. The whipped cream was fresh and airy, the lime zest bright without overpowering, and the crust tied everything together beautifully. It felt like a thoughtful, intentional close to an already incredible meal. I highly recommend starting with the guava mocktail, then pairing your main with the fig mocktail--both are perfectly crafted and complement the dishes so well. Also, sit at the bar. Let Dan guide you through the experience. Trust his recommendations--you will not be steered wrong. He elevates the entire evening. And the playlist? Y'all really did that.

We both had Brussel Sprouts, good, but the bites without the sauce did taste like bland Brussel sprouts. I had the lamb ribs, very good. They do warn you before that the ribs have a bit of fat on them, I think in the context of NY restaurant week I'm happy to pay it but as a solo entree, the amount of fat vs meat would have annoyed me. My friend had the duck, she enjoyed it. But it is very much salad with a side of duck, I believe she had 6 pieces of duck (pictured) and then a mango, arugula and onion salad. Dessert was very good, but I do hope those are not the usual portion sizes and maybe they just served smaller for NY restaurant week. Which I really didn't mind as I was full from the entree and sprouts. Servers were really nice, this place seems to have its regulars and a nice garden sitting area towards the back. Would overall recommend

Me and my partner split the double cheesecake smash burger - it was amazing! Golden brioche with a saucey, chessey interior without losing the delicious patties. It was like an elevated Big Mac. Highly recommend. Was able to chill at the bar and watch the Knicks game - the whole time. The energy was at a high. If you are going for a major sporting game, get there early. The staff was very kind and helpful. A bit of upselling but not the end of the world.

I noticed the great ratings along with all the reviews and photos of the burger, so we decided to check it out. We ended up getting a table in the back room by the windows. The place has a very chill vibe. I also noticed they provide Uno cards, and a few people were playing while enjoying their drinks. I already knew what I was getting, the Winnie Smash ($18), a double-patty smash burger that comes with a house-style mac sauce and fries. The burger was solid, and I really enjoyed the crispy fries. I also ordered a side of BBQ sauce ($1.50). I washed it all down with a couple of draft beers. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this place if you're looking for good food and drinks in a laid-back atmosphere. * Street parking * Sunday Football special

The space itself is genuinely beautiful -- dim lighting, warm decor, and a moody, inviting atmosphere that makes it feel like a proper grown-up neighborhood spot. The service matched the room. Our server was attentive, gracious, and knowledgeable, and the front of house clearly knows what they're doing. The food, unfortunately, didn't live up to the rest of the experience. The pork chop arrived dry, which is hard to forgive on a cut that should be the kitchen's pride. The steak was competently cooked but unremarkable -- no real seasoning, no char to speak of, nothing that set it apart from a passable home-cooked version. For a restaurant at this price point, the kitchen should be delivering more. I'd happily come back for cocktails at the bar -- the n and the staff deserve that. But on the food alone, there are better options in the neighborhood.
