Red Fox

Unassuming spot with the perfect neighborhood spot vibe! Was pleasantly surprised by the burger and the delicious char it came with. Quite literally the perfect bite. Awesome staff!!! Super friendly and helpful, makes you feel at home.

Super cool neighborhood bar located off Albina St. The place currently only offers outdoor seating at this time, which is perfect for the nice days ahead. The drinks are super reasonably priced, and definitely worth it. The bartenders are super friendly and accommodating with our group. I can't wait to come back and have a couple more drinks here.

This place effin rocks. Love that they have veg food options. Bartenders are always chill & nice. Love that they don't blast music on weeknights that you have to shout over. My voice is tired, people.

We were looking for a chill neighborhood bar, Red Fox seemed like it could be that. Our second time at this bar my husband asked a question about the menu and the bartender (long grey hair, mentioned in other reviews) was extremely rude. We wanted to like this bar, but after this experience we will not be returning.

The first time I came here - more than a decade ago now - I walked up to a woman bashing another dude on the head. Her friends and coworkers (I think) made excuses for her after she left with what turned out to be her partner. A few years after that I turned up to find her whacking another dude in the head. I don't know what excuses you can possibly make for someone who is apparently so inclined to violence. I'd love to hear the owner's side about why they condone such behavior but I'm not going back because I don't like the possibility of being hit by her or whomever that community includes. The burger was adequate.

An adorable bar. Smiley face ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - perfect lavender drink. Would order it again Hot toddy ⭐⭐⭐✨ Texas style chili ⭐⭐⭐⭐ - meaty - a little spicy Little fox burger ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - really hits the spot - get with fries

Entrance is tucked away at the corner of small garden, nice outdoor covered patio. Shares building with a neighborhood grocery. Has limited food selection, but people seem to agree it’s good. I ordered a couple drinks. Staff is friendly and made good suggestions on local venues and local events.

Raw burger 🤮 I order a burger, sent it back and the second one was still raw. The manger was so rude about it 😒, I left. Figured [they] were just having a bad day. I visited the Redfox, again, and the manger was sooo rude and pissy. She remembered me and stopped serving me, so rude. Hope this person finds some beauty in Life.

Red Fox is probably my favorite little bar that is tucked away for safe keeping. The staff at Red Fox are the best! Service Great beer selection Amazing cooks Amazing food Literally the best Burger in Portland. Top 5 best burgers! My favorite little bar

Good food for reasonable prices. Same with drinks. Cozy neighborhood hipster bar with a very chill, friendly vibe and both covered and uncovered outdoor seating. Food can take some time at busy times, but at these prices, that doesn't sting the same way - especially if you're down to chill for a minute (which is very much the vibe). The service here is very Portland, if you know what I mean. (Basically the opposite of fawning, although I didn't find them to be rude here, just mostly unconcerned.)

INCREDIBLE VEGAN CHILI FRIES Ask the bartender if they can do a vegan version of their famous "Texas Style" chili fries. It's on their secret menu and seriously sooooo good!!!! YUM

This is it. Great go-to place any night of the week. Affordable with a nice, downlit atmosphere. Next door to one of my most favorite grocery stores of all time. Fun & solid snacks; lovely from the IPAs to the Tecates.

Yes! This is one of those little gems I don't want to write about so it stays a secret. But I've gotta balance my negative reviews on this site so here goes. Red Fox is a ho-hum little hole-in-the-wall that serves cheap drinks and coziness. It's small but it packs a unique folksy/divey flair that comes off only as genuine. They don't have a cocktail menu (a true bummer), but I got both a sidecar and an old-fashioned for $9. THAT'S LIKE, STEALING. That's what I'd pay for one drink further down the street (albeit while looking at coral and tropical fish). So yes, a neighborhood fave, and a trusty ol' joint for some low key drinks.

Food is not good. Drinks are fine, basic beers and your typical cocktail asks. Staff = OK. Very weird vibes, sort of rude ish seeming? Interesting patio situation out front, usually always busy so don't plan on being able to sit outside at first thought when going here. Inside is DARK, no windows! Prepare to sit in darkness if the outside seats are full.

we came here quite a few times with our kids since they opened their outdoors during the pandemic and were always welcomed customers. it's gotten busier, good, but for the 2nd time now it has become a problem to have the kids use the bathroom. if you don't want or cannot have families that's fine. just take that sign down. and don't have your rude staff address the issue in front of the kids. no need to upset them, I guess.

The second star is because this is my neighborhood and this place has awesome potential. The setup and service are confusing and more than lack luster. Sign says line starts here. There is a window too far from the line start to order from with a very unhappy employee sitting there who never says "hey I can take your order over here" so I walk up and ask if we order here and just grab a table? She says there is no table service you just order here. Ummm yea that is what I just said/asked. I order and she ignores me and doesn't acknowledge directly and yells back to bar then you get that? They say "yes that's a lot" . A beer and sparking water with juice. $7 tab and I tip $5. I tipped because I'm not an asshole and maybe it saved the next customer from the hateful attitude of the window troll. I'll def go back. I shouldn't but maybe this one employee won't be there or will have realized how douchey she was.

Neighborhood treasure with a great atmosphere, big selection of drinks, a simple food menu, and good service. Red Fox is the perfect casual, divey, late night spot. Deceptively large space and great outdoor seating.

If I could give a lower rating, I would. First, we walked in and sat at a table to wait for service. After several minutes we realized nobody was coming to our table, so we walked up to the bar to order. The lady serving us was very helpful and helped us chose the drink we'd order in addition to our food. The whole ordering exchange took 5 minutes max. It wasn't a busy bar and we'd never been there before. Both fox burgers were orders as medium and the steak frites was ordered medium rare. The food took nearly 40 minutes to come out. One burger came out over done, the other was straight up rare and the steak was blue rare with a complete char on the outside. None of us finished our food and when we closed our tabs, one person left a $2 tip and I chose not to tip on my $19 tab. The two other people with us paid in cash for their order As we were leaving, the woman who helped us approached us to ask if anything was wrong with the service. Not wanting to hurt any feelings, we said we had gotten full. She then asked about our tips, before we even left our table or could leave a cash tip. I explained I chose not to tip because I'm paying for the Uber for the night for my friends bachelorette party. She cut me off and said if you can't afford to tip, then I shouldn't be going to bars and it was very rude for me not to tip and that we wasted her time taking forever to order. I explained I worked at a restaurant and understood tipping is customary but some people should be able to have fun on a budget and she cut us off again and said she was not looking for a fight, yet was harassing us over our tips. I told her obviously she did want to argue, because badgering us and insulting our budgets was extremely rude. She then stated we needed to leave, as we were already leaving. I stated I had no intentions of returning and she then said I would be going in some book of unwelcome customers. I said we'd be leaving a yelp review for the way we were treated. As we were standing outside waiting for our Uber, she comes storming out for a grand finale in front of the people on the patio where she tried to make us feel bad by telling us we should be ashamed for stuffing a single mom on her tips then threatening to leave a yelp review. I then chose to tell her part of the reason we chose not to tip well or at all was because service was slow for a not busy bar and the food was subpar. At that point she called me a miserable person and tried to shame my friends for hanging out with me? Do not give this place your business. They expect you to care about their personal financial situations but don't give a damn about yours and shame you for it, harasses you in front of other patrons about your tips and calls you an awful person. Not a place that you want to spend your money at. Horrible treatment and only slightly better food.

Super chill place, very much for the local crowd. Good drinks for good prices. Pretty limited straight forward pub food menu. I had the burger, which was honestly pretty damn good! I sat at the bar, alone. The bartender was nice, attentive but I wouldn't call him friendly. The place is almost hipster, but without the hipsters lol. Clearly it's frequently by regulars. I felt like the only person there not on a first-name basis. So, really great if you live in the neighborhood, but a little alienating if you don't. A friend recommended the burger so I dropped in. Nothing bad here, just not my style. Next time, I'll hit Bar Bar down the street on Mississippi

Tall guy who works here is a total dick. Won't be coming back again. Stereotypical Portland pretentious sensitive jerk working behind the bar with absolutely no people skills. Not about to spend money in a place where I have to behave according to the bartender's ego. Place is a snooze. The girl who works there has always been lovely; unfortunately, her colleague was extremely rude and thinks it's appropriate to yell at customers who aren't "cool enough" for him. What a shame. My advice to this place: train your bartenders to be kind and communicative, not pretentious and sensitive. Totally bored with people like this. Why bother?

i am suspicious that the boys who run this place cant take any criticism and are flagging the less than flattering reviews that have been posted here. Just days ago I read 2 or 3 that were not too positive and now they arent here. Hmmmm...... So, be warned fellow drinkers, good food does not equal good people.

Just moved to the neighborhood from Hawthorne, where the streets are filled with bars open til 2am with A+ and affordable food (read: Gold Dust Meridian, Circa 33, Side St., etc). After getting off work at 11:30, I was starving and Yelpers seemed to dig this place close to me. I trusted you all. Never again. The place itself is cute, if a little dark and trying too hard to be kitsch. There were maybe ten people on the patio and three awful awful 30somethings at the bar discussing 'gastro' cuisine loudly. Bar tender: short girl, checked in on me, seemed nice. Cook: called me Hon every other second. I'm from Baltimore and I still haven't had Hons thrown at me like that since I was the only girl visiting a strip club. Food: got the chili. IT WAS AWFUL. It was gritty, may have consisted entirely of just red chili powder and water, and tasted like the fake 'smoke' flavors you can buy to infuse in food. I had maybe three bites, slid it across the bar, and left just as the debate over 'American Nouveau' cooking got rolling. Whatever the hell that means. Just cook some damn chili.

The Slow Red Fox Sometimes you need drink, or some food really bad, and are excited to get to a place to get it, right? But the owner/bartender is SLOW - can hardly manage to make 2 drinks at the same time and forgets to put in food orders. HIRE SOME HELP! You need it.

Eclectic Nirvana. Lemme break it down for you. The Building: The theme is The Red Fox. So naturally, there are foxes all over the walls. It's dark, quiet, and cozy. It has a few booths, the bar, and the patio. There seems to be some kind of quiet background music going on, but to be fair, I'm not there for it. The Patrons: It appears to be what one would consider "hipster" but then again, it is NoPo, so maybe that's why? They're usually quite content to keep to themselves, though their conversations can get a little loud, and sometimes, you can't help but listen in. Case in point, a couple were discussing racial generalizations. She mentioned Asian endowment lacking, I couldn't help but pipe up and say "Not always!" Unbeknownst to me, her friend was a male of the Asian persuasion, and laughed and said "I agree with her!" The Food: Oh the om noms. The wedge salad? Amazing. I can't believe I'm actually penning a review prompted entirely by a chunk of lettuce, but it is so much more than that. Bacon, bleu, onions, and other delicious items that I can't recall because I was whisked away to heaven on the first bite. I also had it as a side paired with a burger. I believe it was the bacon bleu burger? Not positive. All I know is that I was in heaven, buzzed, and hungry. Nothing was left on the plate. The Drinks: Not the cheapest, but not horrible either. My go-to is cider, and they have plenty of options in that department. My go-to at this locale is a pint glass with a shot of Sailor Jerry's and a bottle of Woodchuck. The combo is delish, and they know what I want when I walk in. They also carry Crispin, and some others, which I will devolve to as the blood alcohol level rises. The Atmosphere: Relaxed, cozy, calm. A general vibe of happy. Laughter is often heard, but not raucous enough to disturb your own mood. The place is dog friendly, with a large water dish out front, so be aware that the neighborhood dogs and their masters do often stop by.

I made my first visit to the Red Fox yesterday afternoon. While it's less than a mile from where I live, I had no idea it was even there: hard to see from the street. Since it was an unseasonably warm winter day, I brought my new rescue dog with me. Everyone, patrons and employees/owner, were super cool about the dog. In fact, the owner brought her out a piece of bacon. As for the bar, it's the type of place I like . . . a little eclectic but in a good way. No tv's and the music was playing at a level that wouldn't hinder conversation. I plan on making the Red Fox one of the places I regularly visit!

This is a nice neighborhood bar! The burger and fries ($10) is a pretty good deal. The burger was really delicious and the fries are some of the best in the city in my opinion. They have a nice beer selection and cheap PBR. Service can be a little cold but I wouldn't expect much more from this place. It's pretty bare bones anyways. Overall, a pretty solid bar. No complaints, nothing to rave about either.

Stopped in here this past weekend for some dinner and drinks. I ordered the gumbo, shared some friends, and a $1 Old German (yep, one buck). The gumbo was so good and the fries were super thin and we got a huge portion. The prices were also really great. But the best thing about this bar is the waitstaff. The bartender was awesome. Super funny and nice. The chef was also great, he brought us our food and even checked up on us to make sure it was going well (a little unusual in a bar setting). The atmosphere is nice, great art on the walls and nice lighting and the music is great too. This is definitely my new go-to bar. I love it here!

I have embarked on a quest to find a kick ass burger in Portland. I am kinda picky about my burgers. I don't usually eat red meat but when I do IT HAS TO BE WORTH IT and Red Fox was definitely worth it. Soft bun, patty cooked as ordered (medium rare). Real cheese (not that American "cheese food" crap). Service was fantastic! Definitely will go back!

I just don't get the Red Fox, man. It's the closest bar to my house, so I've been there a fair share of times, but the vibe is always off. It's like in the upper reaches of the atmosphere of hipsters. The 'hipsters before hipsters were a thing' hipster bar or something. When my lame normal self visits other hipster bars, I at least feel ignored and uncool in kind some what of a tiny bit nice way? Like, the hipsters maybe just feel bad for me? But the Red Fox is has no problem making me feel like I ought to just fuck off forever. My last trip pretty much has me swearing it off for good, though. The bartender was just a straight up aggressive asshole. My friend and I were the only ones in the bar, aside from a really pretty blonde chick who he was very busy completely ignoring us for. We literally couldn't help but overhear him yap at her about horrible everyone who comes in the bar is, and he can't even talk to his girlfriend (sorry for you, girl!) when he gets home because he hates his job so much. In between flirting with the blonde chick and making me and my friend (who just wanted a couple beers and a bowl of chili) feel like like two needy, life-sucking leeches, he talked about how amazing his two (count 'em!) bands were while he played some bullshit weirdo music that made my ears want to bleed. it was like, too real to be a Portlandia episode. This was really this guy's life. Hope one of your super shitty bands make it, buddy so you can finally quit this god awful day job! In the meantime, I'll be working at my real job, putting my time in and earning a paycheck like a grownup and spending said money somewhere else in the neighborhood where the beer selection is better and the bartenders are actually nice people who doesn't kill my friday beer vibes with their painfully evident self-loathing.

Well, I said I'd come back and give it another shot, and I did. While we were actually served this time, it was a pretty unimpressive experience, and I don't think I need to come back here ever again. Pretty unfortunate, as this is by far the closest bar to my house. First of all- They only have 3 beers on tap, none of which are particularly interesting. Now, I may be a bit spoiled here, but c'mon, this is Portland, craft beer capital of the universe. When the dumpy corner store/fried chicken place down the street has a far larger and more interesting beer selection than your bar, you know you've got a problem. After ordering our drinks we took a booth in the back. The walls in this place are probably 15' high, mostly brick, very dark, and aside from a handful of ~8"x8" strange paintings, completely barren. Quite eerie. The cloudy sky coming through the single skylight along with the dim, flickering chandelier made me feel like I was in some horrible murder dungeon. Most of my drinking is done in dive bars, I'm used to strange decor, but this wasn't so much divey as it was just plain shitty. I thought they might have had one redeeming quality when I noticed the old jukebox against the wall, but alas, it had a large "OUT OF ORDER" sign taped to it. My friend got a bloody mary, which was apparently pretty okay and only $4.00, but it was served in a very tiny glass. They do have my favorite cheap beer, Old German for $2 a pint, which I was happy about. Not nearly enough of a reason to want to come back here though.

Great neighborhood bar. I wish this one was closer to me. The bartender is the cook so the food takes a while but when it does show up it is delicious! They have a nice beer selection and a full bar to keep you happy. The outdoor seating is primarily for smokers.

I've been a patron of the Red Fox for over ten years. I really like this bar, but it's a bit pretentious thinking that you don't need to have a phone or a way for patrons to get in touch with you. I would like to know if they're open for New Years Day, but can't find out info online and they don't have a working phone, so instead of spending 20 minutes to go there - I guess I will pick somewhere with a proven means of communication.

Red fox is a cool little bar. I've had the burger twice. Both times it was PERFECTLY cooked but tasted like gas! A huge bummer because it has enormous potential.

My beer waa slammed down on the bar, leaving a big puddle, bartender was annoyed by my food order, tall skinny guy with an attitude

First time going to this bar with some girls for a bachelorette party! A friend didn't tip at the end of the night since we didn't get food for 45 minutes. The waitress never checked on us and didn't leave the counter for orders. 2 friends closed their cards out and the waitress just walked up and told us how it wasn't nice or appreciated that she didn't get a tip. A girl said she was paying for most of the night for the bachelorette party and the waitress started talking super loud how she doesn't care about her having a bachelorette party and how she was calling her out for not paying any tip. The waitress then continued to say if you don't have money for a tip then you shouldn't be going to bars. The friend then said well what if someone wanted a drink but didn't have money for a tip? Then she kicked us out even though she A. Didn't give us a receipt and B. Didn't know that we weren't going to leave her a cash tip. She complained about us taking "forever to order" which was 4 people and took maybe 5 minutes. Then we walked outside to wait for an Uber and she walked back outside to start talking more shit and to say how dare you leave a review on yelp just because she's a single mom and we are risking her job... I've never been treated so badly by any bar or restaurant in my life. One hamburger was raw when it was ordered well done and another steak that was ordered was over cooked. I was just speechless... don't go here. Just because we were in the same group she put all of this on some "list" so we can't return even though half of us didn't do anything... She never asked how we were or how the food was.

Friendly Portland hipster joint. Nice drinks, good typical Portland bar food, pleasant, cute staff. It's got a really dark interior and no real outdoor seating, so save this discreet hovel for those long winter days. A nice addition to this gentrifying neighborhood.

we were super excited for the raved-about gumbo cheese fries and brussels sprouts mentioned on several other sites. Also mentioned were spectacular boozy cocktails. we walked out when we were told that gumbo was replaced by an all-chili-based menu and there was no cocktail menu. sad. i'm sure it's a fine place if that's what you're looking for, but for christ's sake, update your own website (and maybe places like urban spoon and other aggregating sites) so people don't come in expecting your former self and leave dejected and frustrated.

The food was so-so, our waitress came to our table and basically had an attitude from the get-go. She asked us if the service was bad, after it took 30 minutes to get said crappy food. She never checked on us, only took our and that was the extent on our conversation- until she tried shaming us on tipping (I tipped her $2 on an $18 tab). She then kicked us out after arguing with us and on my way out she said "you better go", then came OUT of the bar to yell at us some more. The exchange ended in her flipping off my friend- will never come back again. Mind you, I wasn't rude at all to her. I didn't have one unkind word even though she was standing there berating my party. Competely unprofessional. Completely shitty.

Friendly neighborhood bar with excellent food! Mike is a nice guy and lets our stinky bike racing team hang out after races. The beer is good, 3 rotating taps and a bunch of bottles. Full bar, Sauza shots are only $5. And the tacos are super good, carlton farms pork! I've heard the veggie burger is good, and the regular burger certainly is (comes with blue cheese, BTW). And seasonal veggies!

It is fun to stumble upon great little places in Portland. The Red fox is one of them. Not only do they have a knowledgeable and friendly staff that know there cocktails but they have rocken great chili try the chilidog oh soo great The nachos or the tacos everything is from scratch and very yummy Keep up the great work and I look forward to my next visit to the red Fox and you should plan on making a trip there too

Since this was the last bar I went to, I think I make my first review here! Red Fox is GREAT! Perfect atmosphere, great beer selection, great food and as a previous poster said, the menu changes. Mike, Chuck, and Robby are the owners and the employees and I think that's why they have pride in what they do. Mike has always remembered me when I walk in, and they run me a tab no questions asked. I visited during their Chinese food menu and it was fantastic. I got the last serving of pork :) Perfectly cook and piping hot. Nothing dry or off tasting. Their burger is fantastic. I got it with fries and brussels sprouts. They even responded well to my request to change the ingredients on my burger due to my food intolerance - not always the case in some places. My first dish ever was the gumbo. It was good. Not like others I've tasted, but I enjoyed it. I will be at Red Fox often.

First off, well done to the chef; the food is great. However, the service is absolutely atrocious. A blonde woman who works as a bartender there was confrontational and rude to my friends and myself, both of whom just moved to Portland and it was their first impression of the venue. Both tell me they will never come back. I live only a block away and could give them lots of business but will not due to the service.

Awesome little neighborhood bar with casual unpretentious atmosphere, great jukebox, and friendly servers. Sort of tucked away off street just North of the Mississippi hipster zoo, which suits me just fine. Good drink selection, simple menu of great pub food with locally grown ingredients (I tried the tacos last time I was there, downright delectable!). They have a mellow smoking patio out front and the interior is cozy and warm on rainy nights. A great spot to hang out with friends and share drinks and conversations without having to shout over noisy douchebags or horrible pop music. Highly recommended.

I really like this place. Tried it out a couple weeks ago for the first time and the bartenders were attentive and sweet even when they were super busy. Not super pumped about the menu, but hey, its a bar, I should probably shut up. I ordered fries, and they were great. AND they have an IPA on tap always so I am a happy girl. Great ambiance and fun people. Good music, too!

You know when you have a server who's just not that great.. maybe the server's a little abrasive, a little anxious, doesn't get you that water or coffee refill when you need it.. that sort of thing. It's those moments where you really start to appreciate the small things a great server does, in a city that has a reputation of poor service yet almost always delivers a friendly, welcoming server who does a good job, smiles a lot, and earns a nice tip. We've all had a spectrum of servers who've both delighted us and left us feeling neglected and in low spirits about our dining experience. But I've never come across the type of passive aggressive, obnoxious behavior from a server than I did recently at this place. I understand there are some who prefer to give higher weight to things like the taste of the food or the general ambiance of a venue, but for me the server or bartender is the make-it-or-break-it of a bar or restaurant. In fact, any frontline staff can really make a large impression on the satisfaction of your experience. In fact in the Red Fox, it was bad enough for a group of us walk out and spend our money elsewhere. We walked into this joint with high hopes, and at first I was pleasantly surprised when I stepped in: the place had a nice din, it was properly lit and probably had some great beers on tap. That's about as good as it got. In our effort to find a seat for 5 of us, we moved a couple chairs and pushed a table around. This apparently set off a rage inside our particular server that came out like a lame high-schooler who picks on his weaker friend in passive aggressive ways. The first taste of this was getting tapped out of the way so our server could angrily towel off our table. This dude was packing some serious pent-up aggression which he let out in bursts of sarcastic one liners, avoiding eye contact and looking at the floor. He said things like "yeah, that WOULD HAVE BEEN COOL IF YOU DID THAT, but you know, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!" can you hear the inflection in that, the way he's sarcastically telling you "If you weren't a complete asshole, you wouldn't have moved those chairs." He had himself pegged as some sort of victim, I mean he really wanted us to tip him higher for his awkward passively-violent confrontation style. I'm sorry guy, but sarcastically putting your customers down and ostracizing them for making room for a group that's about to dig in and run up a sizable tab is no way to kick off the waiter/customer relationship. When our friend returned from the bar, we came to a consensus that we couldnt' in good faith give a guy (and the bar he represents) a dime of our money. There was no point subjecting ourselves to a night of awkward drink requests through a haven't-gotten-over-my-childhood drama queen. On our way out, the folks who were sitting at the table before us were complaining about how much of a jerk the server was. It was really unbelievable they would let someone like this work at a bar that's trying to build a reputation! I apologized to the barkeep, afterall it wasn't his fault he was working with this guy - at least I certainly hope not. I wouldn't want that guy representing ANYTHING with my name on it. We are all one people. Choose love people, choose love. As long as this dude works here, this place gets no stars from this extremely dissappointed, would-be patron. There are a million places where I'm killed with kindness, and really, that's the world I want to live in. So while I still have some choice in where I spend my money, I choose those establishments that make you feel good that you're spending your money there. Beware to all those lovers of loving love. A dark cloud hangs over this place until they hire a better server. Until then, seek out thy neighborhood tavern that celebrates our kinship, and does not not project thy inner-hatred at those of the innocent. May the spirit of the earth look over this place tonight.

The minute I walked in, I was enchanted!! They were playing SPARKS!! The Sparks are a little known happy little duo from the seventies... anyway, I ordered a Beam and Coke, which, as I sat and watched the bartender pour a fairly large tumbler of Jack Daniels (that's okay; I'm not that picky) all the way to the top, leaving only a third of an inch or so for the Coke, and not that much ice, my eyes nearly fell out of their sockets. I love a stiffy!! I hear they have great hot dogs too!!

When they opened, they had some really cool food inventions. But returning after a hiatus, all the cool stuff seemed to have disappeared and replaced by stuff you could get most everywhere - and dang is it expensive ($8-9 for a burger). Sure, it is still better than your average bar fair, but that's the ONLY reason they got 2 stars. So, it is a local hipster hangout. That in itself isn't bad, but the fact the service was SO slow, and SO terrible while they charge you top dollar for that food earns it -3 stars. The retro aviator sunglass guy at the bar never checked up on our table once for refills - and I had to go up twice during the 45 minute wait for our food to get another round of beers for my gal. The food took FOREVER to come, and again - never a checked up on us. Apparently it's totally cool to just chat up everyone at the bar and ignore the rest of the place. The final nail in the coffin was that the guy added an extra $1 to his tip when I checked my balance statement from the bank. I called up the manager and he comped me, but that's total BS. If you're going to be a lazy, smug bartender AND try to rip me off - you just earned my full-on hate. I'll never go back after that experience.

Red Fox is my neighborhood hipster bar. If it wasn't within walking distance, I'd probably only give it 3 stars, but the convenience adds some points. It's hidden away, has a small covered patio, and a ridiculously dark interior. I haven't tried the food, but my friend who did said it was not very good. The food menu is very limited. Beer selection is good and the service is attentive. In my old neighborhood I had a bar this close to home and I never went to it - it was that sketchy. Red Fox is neither sketchy nor inviting. Just the right kind of hidden dive bar to disappear in and enjoy a pint.

I want to say that I love this bar. Up until this point I enjoyed this bar but now I'm not so sure. I love that it is my neighborhood bar but honestly that's about it. I know that their gumbo has been decent 2 of the 5 times I have had it. Well tonight I got home and just really felt like a hot dog... kinda remembering that they had dogs on the menu thus I went over to the Fox... upon inquiring about my two hot dog options I was informed that this particular waitress doesn't eat their food so she had no opinion either way. FIRST... as a sales person (and yes cocktail slingers are sales people) sell your product! up-sell... make the customer want it... SECOND... if you work somewhere that serves food don't be surprised if people ask you about the food that YOU serve. Good job on not making the food sound appealing because that was the worst hot dog of my life. How does one over cook a tube steak? and that gumbo... out of a can? I can see why you don't eat there much. Red Flag for Red Fox thanks to the beer wench.

Best bar near my house! Seriously. It's laid back, but still busy and fun. It's not too dark or too light inside. The bartenders are always super nice! The bartenders are actually my favorite bartenders in town. They have 3D artwork on the walls. Their french fries are delicious. My one complaint is that there's only one bathroom, but that's a minor detail.

So, I have two reviews here. Well the first visit I went craving a nice piece of red meat, to my surprise the redfox had one and it was at a decent price. Also the atmosphere and beers were great. I had a steak and fries. They tasted incredible the steak was cooked perfect! Alright visit 2 I go with my buddy and I've been bragging about the steak all day, so when we get there with out hesitation I order a steak blue rare exactly like the last time. Also, my friend ordered the same rare. Well the beers were great again but the steaks came out and mine was over cooked but still juicy and taste great the only problem with both is that they were both extremely small like seriously 1/3 of the size that they were two weeks prior. Well we ate ,paid,tipped etc.. Then went to new seasons and bought two steaks and cooked them at home. Seriously that's how small they were we ate another steak each.

Great bar, great food. Aside from the Hamm's tall cans, they also have Old German cans for a buck! I love the rotating art on the walls. We had the Sonoran Dog and the Gumbo Fries and if we lived there we'd be back every night.

The food I and drink selection is 5 star. They make My favorite burger in town. I get it on my birthday every year for like 7 years. But every time I try to get friends to go there with me.they refuse because they all have individual stories to share about how poorly.they were treated at one point or another . I don't care I tell them just order your food and move on. I would.like to eat there more if the staff was a bit friendlier my friends and I could go more often. Also single smokes for sale is great.!!

Okay, for one: Get the fuck out of my bar. I hate you people crowding up the place. I'd give this place a one-star if I thought it would make you go away. But I just can't make myself do it. Stick to the burgers and fries or the dogs if you're eating. The corn in the summer is unfreakinbalievable. But their latest foray into brussel sprouts is a fail. Too bitter. And guys, you gotta take the butts off the sprouts. What I love about this place the most is that they make a damn good drink. No bullshit trades on the liquor. No shorting the drink. And the mixers are delicious and fresh. If you're sitting outside, please have some consideration for your fellow man. Don't stick your legs out in front of the door and have to be asked to move. This is a peaceful place in general, but someone might just kick your privileged, hipster ass. And if you want hustle, go elsewhere. This place is chill, and so is the staff. They take their time doing stuff. I happen to like the quiet, slo-mo atmosphere. It discourages manic crowds of loud-laughers and attention-grabbers. This is not a place to party your ass off. Just sit, have a drink and a quiet conversation. And we'll all get along just fine.

Entered starving and left starving. Drinks were fine, seeing as how they weren't previously on fire, unlike our burgers. The patty itself was charred, which might have been slightly more acceptable had not the bun been burned black as well. The fries were like tiny limp dicks, which like everything else, must taste great if smothered in ketchup. We sent our burgers back - and the bartender's response: "We've made thousands of burgers." Uh, well it doesn't matter if we're the 10,000th - you done screwed up. At least own up to it.

This is the coolest bar in town! Great drinks and great food. Small menu, but the quality is high. My favorite burger in the city. They have a great steak as well. This is a friendly neighborhood bar and I'd be happy to recommend it to anyone!
