    Tough steak sandwich
    Tamara T.

    The server was not very attentive. The tip reflected a lack of service. Steak sandwich very tough, had to dismantle it and cut it into bite-sized pieces. Onion soup, tiny cup, good but slightly salty. Cider beer left me angry as it was too pricey. Overall, I wouldn't recommend the soup or the steak sandwich.. but they do have specials, mon-fri. And, from what i observed at other tables, the burgers might be the ticket here. Otherwise, St. Charles has more and, most likely, better places to drop your hard earned coin at.

    Pulled Pork Sandwich

    We chose the Crazy Fox Bar and Grille for two reasons: (1) we had tickets to a show at the Arcadia Theater right across the street from the restaurant, and (2) they offer gluten-free options. We had a nice time - just my son and me. We had some time before the show, so we had a leisurely dinner. I had the Barbeque Sandwich (on a gluten-free bun). It came with homemade chips, which were outstanding. The BBQ was heavy on the sauce and served with pickles. The sandwich was good - the sauce was tasty, and it was enormous. It would be better if there were less sauce (my opinion only). We also had the Fried Pork Sandwich, which came with fries. The Pork Sandwich was also excellent. But similar to the BBQ, it had too much sauce. The fries were perfect - seasoned nicely and crisp. It was a great experience, one we will return to. Next time we'll ask them to be lighter on the sauce...

    Great atmosphere! Had the Filet Sliders with grilled onions. Excellent food!!!

    Great restaurant/ bar and staff. Really enjoyed the fish tacos and tequila tonight. Enjoyed talking to the bartender Janette.

    Codfish Fish Fry Dinner.
    Dining O.

    As we eat our way through Main Street St. Charles, Illinois, our next establishment was The Crazy Fox Bar and Grill. It felt like we walked into a piece of historic Saint Charles. A beautiful long wooden bar covered the right wall and dining tables filled in the remainder of the narrow establishment. It was quaint, well-maintained, and clean. There were T.V.s about the bar and lively music playing. The sound level was perfect, we could maintain a good conversation and still enjoy the music. Most surprising was the extensive vegan menu. Nothing from the outside of the building would alert anyone of this vegan restaurant. What was often advertised was the Fish Fry Dinners. We ordered two Codfish Fish Fry Dinners, and a Chicken Avocado Wrap with a side of Roasted Vegetables. The Fish Fry Dinners were lightly breaded and delicious. The fries were thinly cut and seasoned to perfection. The Chicken Avocado Wrap was good, but pretty ordinary. The Roasted Vegetables were cut extremely small and overcooked to the point of being mushy. The service was excellent. Our server Petrana was friendly, knew the menu, and was very attentive. She was very responsive when we indicated that we did not care for the roasted vegetables. This was a great dining experience.

    The atmosphere is a blend of a historic neighborhood tavern with modern updates. Our server/bartender was friendly & offered helpful suggestions. I was THRILLED to see several vegan options - much more than the standard beyond burger! My husband had the Reuben with tots, I had the vegan Italian beef with fries. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. We both ended up taking home leftovers. I highly recommend the Crazy Fox!

    Fried Calamari
    Criselle C.

    We haven't been here in a while but I remember the reuben sandwich was good so we came back on a Wednesday evening. The sandwich was still good but the chips were a bit oily. We also tried the fried calamari which was good. I asked for giardiniera on the side but it was really salty. Service was quick and drinks were good.

    Long bar

    We were in the area and found this place that offers vegan options on yelp! Heck yeah let's go!! The place is in downtown St. Charles a cute town to check out too. When we walked in, its a cute little town bar with plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sports. They have a long bar and plenty-of table seating. We picked our table by the back of the place. Initially it was kinda dark, but later during our lunch they turned up the lights. They also have electric slots in the corner. Once we sat down they shared us both main menu and the vegan menu. We decided to try the jack'ed quesadilla came with string fries, vegan sour cream and salsa. We shared and our lunch and this was a good dish to order. They made it crispy on the outside and the jackfruit and red bell peppers, it was flavorful with vegan shredded cheese. We also ordered the beyond meat burger topped with vegan cheese and the fixings on a toasted brioche bun with a side of sweet potato tots! Wow the tots so cute, sweet and crispy that we ended up ordering a side of the sweet tots, no sharing here lol! The burger was good, so simple we will get this again. The staff here was all so friendly and attentive and making sure our water drinks were filled no need to ask. And their two stalled women's bathroom looked like they were remodeled it stone and marble too, impressive! I'm hoping they will have more options on their vegan menu like vegan Mac n cheese, vegan mozzarella cheese sticks, mock chicken nuggets, vegan chili, etc. Overall, a good experience for lunch. We'll come back here again!

    Patty melt
    Karen K.

    I visited Crazy Fox this past weekend on a very early Sunday afternoon - which was perfect, because we were the first ones there.  With the bar to ourselves, we picked the table at the window in order to try and warm up a little - it was a tad chilly in there. At first, I was a little put off by the prices on the menu - but after our meal, I felt the prices were justified (at least what we ordered).  Not only do they have your typical pub fare, but they also have quite a few other options that you wouldn't normally find at a bar (vodka pasta, etc.), and I will for sure be back to try more on the menu. THE BEER LIST: Good-sized beer menu.  I found one of my favs, New Holland Dragon's Milk, among the throng, and it made me happy.  I didn't check out the cocktail menu, but my husband mentioned a blood orange mule that I will get next time. THE FOOD: Their fries and chips are homemade and their burgers are juicy and fresh.  That always justifies higher prices in my book.  I'm fine with paying more for quality vs. frozen crap.  I loved that the fries were skinny, with the flakey kind of salt.  I scarfed them down before even touching my main course. My patty melt was fresh, thick, perfectly cooked and had the perfect amount of gooey cheese.  I only wish the grilled onions had been just a tad skinnier and softer - all in all, it was a great meal.  Would order again. My husband's garlic parmesan burger looked freaking amazing when it arrived.  As he spread out the thick chunk of garlic parm that was placed in the middle of the burger, and I smelled the delicious aroma, I almost regretted my patty melt order.  The juices were dripping off his burger as he picked it up.  We left satisfied knowing that we found another good place to add to our list of dinner places before we see movies at Charlestown 18.  I recommend checking them out, but I can see this place being very busy on a Friday or Saturday evening, so you might want to go early!

    Crazy fox is one of the best bars in St. Charles. They the nicest bar staff who are always so kind and make the vibes so great! They have some slot machines for some fun while drinking. They also have a touch tunes so you can be the bars dj for the night. Be sure to check it out!

When it comes to the food, most items on the menu can actually be made gluten-free, but they aren't marked on the menu and they do not offer a separate gluten-free menu. Our server did let us know right away that they were out of three of their entree items. For my meal, I started with the gluten-free soup which comes with gluten-free noodles, and it was really good. However, I didn't really like any of the remaining entrees they had left available, so I decided to order sides instead. The server mentioned that most of the sides are or can be made gluten-free. I chose the creamy mashed potatoes and the brussel sprouts, specifically requesting the sprouts without croutons. When the food arrived, the brussel sprouts unfortunately had croutons on them. I pointed it out to the server, and she immediately said she would have them remade for me. While I am very glad I caught the mistake before eating them, it is something to watch out for. Overall, the experience was mediocre.

The Birria egg rolls were a bit on the smaller side but made a big impression with its preparation. I've never had birria wrapped in anything as crispy as the wonton wrapper this was wrapped in. The birria was flavorful while being tender and not being too salty. The white cheddar and chihuahua cheese added a small amount of extra saltiness and a bit more fat, which matched well with the chipotle aiola. The duck poutine was incredibly flavorful, while sitting on the edge of potentially being too bold. The fries were incredibly crispy though there was quite a bit of gravy on the dish and the white cheddar cheese curds did a great job of keeping the entire dish hot throughout the meal, while adding a little bit of extra flavor. The bacon and onion added some umami though it almost made the dish a bit too salty and the duck confit added a nice protein element. Overall a little pricey, but given the more unique menu and quality of both the flavors and textures, it's worth the premium. The food here is definitely memorable and in line with excellent options available in Geneva.

These days the price hikes are expected, nothing new, and the day Nobel started to impose a penalty for paying via credit card (which initially they were ALSO taxing, and at a rate no less that was higher than Geneva's local tax percentage) was when I started only paying with cash. Hey, I like(d) their food and love(d) their employees, I'm willing to pay out the nose and jump through hoops for the experience. I'll admit, I went from eating there almost every day during Covid to maybe once a month, but when my family asks me where we should go out, Nobel is ALWAYS the first that comes to mind. Within the past week I've visiting Nobel for the last time. Prices notably up again, check. Many new employees, slower service, and uh oh, what's this, the food quality is in the toilet? Couple that with another service by Kelli and her terrible attitude, and things aren't looking great. Portions. Like everywhere else, as I said, at Nobel the prices are up and portions are down. My wife's favorite though, their lobster roll (formerly one of the best I've ever had in the United States, and I travel along the east coast quite a bit), has taken a hit harder than anything else on their menu from what I can ascertain. $31 now, which isn't new, it's been $31 since the beginning of 2026 from what I can remember, but $31 and it's probably 30% smaller than it used to be. For $31 you get a lobster roll that literally looks like a piece of Texas toast folded in half now, a 30% smaller portion of lobster, and if by some off chance you order the side salad, the side salad is also smaller. I can go on about all of the other cuts that are evident, but the $31 lobster roll is about the best display of the dismal direction Nobel House is headed. Sad... Nobel House, you'll be missed.

It was impossible to eat w/o a fork and knife. Which you think might not be bad, but it felt like too much. And having the burger too done sort of ruined it. However - if ever in the area - I would stop for the chili and the salad dressings.
