I had the best time here! We did have to wait 40 min with a reservation but it was well worth the wait. The food was so good I ordered the catfish with Macaroni and cheese and greens and also the chicken and waffles and the wild berry lemon drop! The kitchen and the kocktails were on point. The staff and manager were so nice one of the main reasons I had to leave a review. 10/10 would definitely recommend!

With the exception of one Thanksgiving dish, the food was great. When we commented on the dish, the manager removed the cost from the check. Family members ordered other than Thanksgiving items and were very pleased. We ordered several take out dishes and it is true….BEST FRIED CHICKEN EVER!! Enjoy.

Delicious food. Great service. Only complaint was the seating. Even though there were many open tables we were seated right next to another table that was very close. We had to move our tables over a bit to give some place next to the couple next to us. Felt very cramped

Dinner was excellant,...food was on point! The restaurant was noisy but that is due to the bar and live music which is part of the experience. Our waitress was not the greatest,....just wasn't very attentive and not very friendly. However, the manager payed our table a visit and he was great. Overall, the food was excellant and will definately put the Lost Fox on my dinner rotation.
