Foxy Browns clearly understands one of the most sacred contracts in dining: the reservation. Sunday brunch here comes with a visible 20 to 30 minute wait for walk-ins, yet our reservation was treated like a VIP pass. We were seated immediately, no side eye, no "just a few more minutes," just straight to the table. Bonus points for actually holding tables for people who planned ahead. That alone deserves applause.
Now let's talk about the food, because wow. We started with what can only be described as dessert pretending to be an appetizer: the banana bread french toast grilled cheese. Yes, all of those words belong together. It is sweet, decadent, and unapologetically indulgent. Chocolate, Nutella, caramel, dripping everywhere like it has no concern for your self control. Magnificent is the correct word. Dangerous is another.
For mains, my wife ordered the hanger steak with an egg, hollandaise, and chimichurri. On paper, this sounds like a culinary committee meeting that went on too long. In reality, it works shockingly well. So well, in fact, that hours later she is still talking about it like it was a life event.
I went with the chicken sandwich with bacon and slaw, paired with the potato pancakes. The chicken was cooked perfectly, juicy and flavorful, and blended beautifully with the bacon, because bacon improves everything it touches. And those potato pancakes deserve their own zip code. Crispy, rich, and unforgettable. I would order them again even if they were served on their own plate with no explanation.
The atmosphere, the food, and the way they handle reservations all earn a solid five stars without hesitation.
Now, the drinks. The Bloody Mary tried its best, but the sauce and spices sank to the bottom and left the drink a little flat overall. Not bad, just not living its fullest Bloody Mary life. A little more attention there and it would be right on par with the kitchen.
Even with that small hiccup, this is still a five star experience. Foxy Browns nails brunch, respects reservations, and delivers food that sticks with you long after the table is cleared. Just give the drinks a little pep talk and this place is unstoppable.
