"This beloved dive bar and restaurant features favorites like the decadent cheeseburger, available as a single or double Angus patty. It’s topped with American and Swiss cheeses, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and creamy garlic, all served on a brioche bun—a perfect match for the bar’s famously stiff, ice-cold drinks." - Eater Staff
"What It Was: The darkest restaurant in Miami with a liquor store ventanita. Opened in 1946, Fox’s was a dive bar and restaurant known for prime rib, cold martinis, and shady politicians enjoying anonymity in pitch-black booths. The South Miami spot was a local favorite for multiple generations—from the jukebox era to the payphone and beeper days. But it ultimately closed in 2015. What It Is Now: Still the darkest restaurant in Miami. The Lost Boy team did a really wonderful job of making sure Fox’s feels nostalgic for those who knew the old version and interesting for first-timers. Has it changed? Yes. Does the pay phone work? No. But it’s naturally evolving into a shinier version of what it used to be—a dive with good food, strong drinks, and all kinds of characters. The jukebox is still there, people have started carving their names in the panels again, and prime rib Thursdays live on. " - virginia otazo, ryan pfeffer
