This review is based on service since we did not actually eat here. We walked up and asked to be sat outside since we had our dog with us. After seating us and bringing us menus, a staff member came up to us and said they rethought it and didn't want the dog there and asked us to leave. This is after we saw someone with their pet the night before. It was incredibly rude and I would not go back. Will tell all of my friends in the city to do the same. read more

The is a phenomenal Gastropub...the food is cooked to perfection and the service is top notch all the while offering a very affordable price. I highly reccomend this establishment while visiting Chicago. read more

Biscuits are great, grits r great, Gabby is great. Food over was a great value! The entire staff was great and the food was affordable.

This was the first place we went when we got to Chicago and it was fantastic. I'd highly suggest the biscuits and fried avocado to start. The salad is presented in such a fun way, and everything tastes delish! The staff couldn't have been more friendly! I appreciated the manager coming around to talk to everyone. read more

Fantastic burger and great service all the way around. Had breakfast here as well with fluffiest scrambled eggs I've ever had

Perfect late night dinner experience! Ambience: 5-stars Warm modern luxury - amazing lighting, comfortable seating and beautiful table settings. Service: 5-stars Friendliest hostess and waitress. Awesome recommendations and the food came out so fast! Food: 5-stars YUM. Recommend the unfashioned for a drink, the biscuits for an app and the crispy chicken sandwich! All were amazing. read more

It took a long time for our food to arrive; but, when it did, it was very good. I ordered the pork porterhouse - an extra thick pork chop that came with well-seasoned brussel sprouts. read more

There were maggots in my food. Straight up. When we asked to speak to a manager regarding the issue she came out laughing and said it was just a piece of cheese that we saw. Not cool. Will never go here again and do not encourage other people to either. When we were leaving they told us they would give us two free meals if we didn't complain online....... read more

Can't complain! Had a great visit with my parents. Calm and peaceful. All food was great. Loved that the chef came out to confirm everything was great. Free biscuits are awesome!! A+ 5/5! read more

Food is excellent, waitstaff friendly, but disorganized. Came in at 11:40 on Saturday- lunch didn't start till noon, so had to order from breakfast menu. (Or wait till noon, then wait till line changeover ). Sat at the bar, so half the time the bartender took care of me, the other half someone working the tables. Seemed like they weren't communicating. Could have been much better - they weren't busy, just seemed to leave me in limbo. read more

Very nice and well appointed establishment. The menu is not extensive but offers a decent variety of items. Reasonable prices for downtown Chicago. We both had the steak sandwich and were satisfied with the selection. Flavorful but not too tender. read more

This was a delicious find. Their craft beer selection was great, dinner was perfect, and the chocolate dessert was decadent. Would come back again. read more

This place is a hidden gem just east of Michigan Ave. There biscuits practically melts in your mouth. A diverse drink menu and good ole comfort food. I had the chicken, it was prepared very well, full of flavor and juicy. Overall a great place to relax with drinks and dinner after doing all that walking and shopping on Michigan Ave. read more

Just a comment on the breakfast. Got the chef's omelette to go which was really good. The hash brown that came with it was just okay. The sourdough was amazing. I didn't eat in the restaurant but the ambiance was pretty nice. It was really convenient located at the bottom of the courtyard Marriott read more

Walking in for dinner the place was rather empty and we were seated right away. For appetizers we ordered the brussel sprouts and calamari fries. The brussel sprouts were amazing with a little bit of jalapeno mixed in. The calamari fries were not very flavorful but the dipping sauce was pretty good. My friend liked the fried avocado salad. I ordered the fish tacos. They came out hot but again not very flavorful. I preferred to use the sauce from the calamari fries over the one served with the tacos. Overall experience 3/5. read more

My husband and I were in Chicago for a few days and ended up getting dinner here twice because we liked it so much. We tried the biscuits, brussels sprouts, shrimp and crab roll, fish tacos, and the veggie burger. Everything was amazing. The fish tacos, in particular, were some of the best that I've had. The prices were very reasonable and the service was friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Went in around 9 for dinner on a Saturday night. The service was quick and friendly. The food was excellent. The biscuits are worth the trip alone. I had the shrimp and lump crab roll with rosemary chips - it's made with any orange aioli that was perfect, and the roll was stuffed full. My daughter ordered the quinoa black bean burger & fries and said it was also very good - spicy and not dry which is her usual experience at other restaurants. We didn't try dessert. Prices were very good (minus alcohol and tip, it was around $30). read more

Not a large breakfast menu but the items offered are top quality. #16 biscuits are light, slightly sweet, with a little salt and creamy butter-delicious. The slim farmer avocado toast while tasty needed to be toasted a bit more to avoid being soggy. Generous portions. Comfortable seating and atmosphere with competent service. read more

We went not long after they opened. The food was good, but service was slow. Apparently there were only 2 servers for the entire restaurant. Hoping it is just growing pains. read more

Visiting from a smaller town with a new little one in tow I somehow forgot all about how in the bigger cities reservations are often needed. But, we got lucky and ended up with a table without a wait at this great place. Our waitress was awesome for starters, she made sure our son had something to nibble on from the get go. She had great recommendations from food to alcohol. We started with the biscuits, mostly because bacon was mentioned in their creation, and they were delicious, just the right size as not to fill you up before dinner. My husband had the vegetarian quinoa burger which wasn't the greatest as it crumbled to pieces at first bite (the reason for the 4 stars) but the fries it came with were awesome. I went with the Caesar salad with steak. It was delicious with some of the best croutons I've ever had. I love bread. We each had a canned stout which fit just right with the meal. All in all a great relaxed place for a classy meal, without being uptight or overpriced, along with attentive staff which made for a great meal. read more

An awesome place that's both sophisticated but still pretty casual. If you check in on Yelp you get a free order of biscuits, and the honey butter that it comes with is just sooooo good! I ordered the shrimp and crab roll, which was stuffed with goodies and tasted amazing too. Highly recommend! P.S. The only issue with this place is I always call it "Silver Fox" by accident and my friends make fun of me like "Oh is that who you're going to pick up tonight?!" But that's my fault =P read more

This place is amazing! I love their food and their attentive customer service is always on point. I've gone most recently for dinner and had their shrimp crab roll and it was to die for! If you like seafood, be sure to try it! The roll is so soft and buttery followed by the most delicious seafood salad that is so flavorful! It's everything you want. I've also tried their burger, the Copperfox burger and it's amazing!!!! They were recently rated Chicago's best burger and I know why! The meat is incredibly tender, bun is a lovely brioche and they use a cheese sauce (I think it's white barbecue sauce) that's to die for. They top it off with crunch my fried onions. Lord I want one now. Be sure to request Darius as your server. He was on point! He knew each dish like the back of his hand, he suggested excellent dishes for us to try and he was incredibly attentive. He even allowed my mother to sample the grits because she was unsure if she would like them! 5 star service! And of course, if you ever need catering needs, these guys do that too! Be sure to ask for Anthony Visione and he will take care of you. He is so professional, kind, and accommodating and he will do everything in his power to make sure Copperfox makes you happy! No I don't work here but I do love this place...a lot! read more

We arrived very early for dinner the night most of the city was buried by a blizzard. A friendly reception in a hotel eatery. We both ordered the "Prime Skirt Steak." A small portion of meat sat atop a mound of soggy fries. Sadly, there was nothing "prime" about this beef. We've had prime skirt steak, previously, and it's delicious. Wish we could say the same for this beef. It was chewy and lacked flavor. Very disappointing. Thank you for the complimentary #16 biscuits. They were tasty. read more

Came here to take a break from the hospital while a friend recovered from surgery. It was mid afternoon, so not very crowded. Had the fish tacos and a glass of pinot noir that was not on the menu but recommended by the bartender. Not in my usual dining circle, but definitely worth a try if you're on the area! read more

Every time I visit Chicago I go here. It's great, simple and always has a good beer selection. Their roasted chicken is simply the best in the entire city. The grits and the baked cherry tomatoes offer unique flavors. Go here! read more

I'm finishing up a review I started in February 2017 when I last ate at the Copper Fox. They have great food!!! The prices, while moderate, are in line for the neighborhood. read more

Sat at the bar and wanted to order the entire menu. The bartender talked some sense into me and directed me towards the Calamari fries, sample of Avocado fries and the Crispy Chicken sandwich. The calamari fries were not the best calamari I have had but the first I have had in a fry form and they were very solid (gotta give them a break Chicago is in fact in the middle of the country - fun fact for everyone who's first day on earth was today). The crispy chicken sandwich was a generous portion and had a nice jalapeno spread and delicious pickled onions (think fast food chicken sandwich but 10x better). The avocado fries were a bit of a let down but not because of execution, I just didn't love the flavor of them. All in all, Copper Fox is a great spot for drinks or food and I would highly recommend. read more

Killer manhattan. Delicious Brussels and meat/cheese board. They ran out of fried avocado which I really wanted to try, and the person who came to tell us was really awkward about it - but whatever. Crab and lobster roll was delicious. I'm not sure if they'd get 5 stars on a return visit, but I ordered right this day and loved it. read more

I brought a large group to the Copper Fox on a weeknight. From the reservation to the private seating area to coping with extra people who came along, the staff of the Copper Fox took it all in stride and were cheerful and helpful. Unlike other restaurants, the Copper Fox did not require a minimum spend or for the diners to choose meals ahead of time. At the end of the meal, they gave us each separate checks quickly and efficiently. Now to the food and drink: excellent! I enjoyed my fish tacos and my Honey-Do cocktail, but the stars of the show were the brussel sprouts. Who knew they could be so good? Many thanks, Copper Fox. read more

Let's start with this is not a Gastropub... meaning it is not a pub. It is a dining area in side a Courtyard by Marriott. We went with high hopes for a burrata starter and crab hush puppies. Both unavailable and according to waitress had been for awhile amongst many others. So In full disclosure to be out of multiple draws on Mother's Day shows poor planning so we finished our sparkling rose (which was delicious) left and went to Purple Pig. If you are staying in area and want to have just breakfast menu looked great. Otherwise keep walking read more

The food was decent, not great. It could have been much better if the food hadn't sat while waiting to be served. I had the fish tacos, the flavors were great but the tortilla had gotten hard and the cornmeal breaded fish was cold. BF had the fox burger, it was delicious and the white bbq was amazing but the fries were luke warm. The #16 biscuits were cromulent. read more

Matt's black bean burger was flavorful and the rosemary chips delicious! Because of that...two stars. However, I must admit, this was the first time, ever, that I was disappointed with a meal I've ordered in a restaurant. I ordered the vegetable risotto because I don't make it. I'm a good cook and appreciate a well prepared and seasoned meal. This was awful. Risotto was crunchy, heirloom tomatoes were cherry tomatoes, and wild mushrooms were shiitake or straw. No flavor. If you come here, use your $19 and choose something else. read more

This restaurant is in a hotel, which I didn't know. Food is really good! I really enjoyed the fried avocados and biscuits. Steak sandwich was excellent as well! It got busy when a large group came in. The manager was walking around checking on tables and asking us how everything was going. She was very friendly and assisting. It made us feel welcome and know that management cares about its customers. read more

We came to town and got a reservation though Yelp. They quickly responded to our request and had openings. We ordered the deviled eggs as an appetizer. They served 3 eggs in the order. Tasted great. Would have loved more. The 7 layer chicken salad was good. Light dressing. The presentation was terrific. It came in a glass container all layered then dumped into the bowl at the table. The salad was heavier. More beans and corn less lettuce. We also ordered the herb chicken with cheesy grits and grilled tomatoes. Great flavors. A few beer options on draught. We would recommend it! read more

Copper Fox Gastropub - my prime sandwich and happy friend with her chicken sandwich - New American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

No slackers workin' in this kitchen! Loved the meal. The easy like Sunday morning cocktail was also good. #6 gin is a bit much for a martini. I asked for 1/2 cap vermouth in it and i totally couldnt taste it. Fox burger is good. If you ask for rare it comes that way, and the hand cut fries that accompany it were nicely spiced. They could have been a bit crispier if they were 1/4" slices instead of 3/8", but thats not a huge deal. Pan roasted salmon just a bit too salty, according to the elder son but he ate it all Pork porterhouse was great. The sauce made it, and i loved the crispy brussel sprouts on the side. The avocado turkey sandwich met with my younger sons approvaal. I loved the housemade rosemary potato chips. They were quite subtly flavored, but i liked the fact that the waiter checked with him when taking the order, making sure that he was ok with the rosemary. Worth coming back for sure. Not sure when i'm in Chicago again, but it was good enough to go again. read more
