While I'm never startled to find top notch ice cream in odd places, the product here is well above the mark. Unless your a local, Foxy's might be easily missed. I'm here to tell you to find it. It's ducked onto a side street that's likely frequented by Fox River enthusiasts that travel the area to kayak, canoe and/or fish. There's a small walk in area with a pair of indoor tables and several tables outside in their pavilion.
The menu is a mix of ice cream products, mostly specialized ice cream flavors and sundaes. If I'm not mistaken they also had a couple of Italian Ices and a handful of other food products (hot dogs, etc).
I was here for the ice cream and had 15 exotic choices to pick from. While I'm an easy sucker for sea salt caramel two other concoctions caught my eye as 'must tries"..the "Heaps of Love" and "Fat Elvis". "Heaps" is vanilla based with Oreo's, brownies, cookie dough, pecans, chocolate and caramel ripples. "Elvis" is banana flavored ice cream with salty peanut butter ripple and chocolate chips. Both are flippin outstanding!
The key to making good 'concoction' ice cream like Heaps and Elvis are to NOT flood the key ice cream with the included items. The owner has done a perfect job of blending just the right amount of each ingredient in. This helps each ingredient to sharply stick out when you get a taste of it.
In summary, I ordered the Heaps and an ice cream sandwich for my son, then we went to look at the Fox River white water kayaking shoots. While looking at them my son reasoned that we needed to go back and get another cone and ice cream sandwich. Who was I to argue? Went back and grabbed the Elvis for good measure, and was given a a tasters sample of the sea salt caramel while I waited. Also an excellent choice. I doubt if Foxy's makes anything below the mark of amazing. We'll easily be making the twenty mile trip back for refills!
Cheers!
