    Corned beef hash breakfast
    Tiara L.

    I honestly don't know why I don't come here more often! It's so good. The corned beef hash is literally my favorite breakfast item. They make it PERFECT. It's a nice char and the center is moist. Literally the best. The cheese eggs are really good as well. The grits are ok. I think I'm just picky with grits and prefer it made with heavy cream vs water. The biscuit is AMAZING. It's so big but also light and airy and you can taste the butter. It's so GOOD! The service is always amazing, will be going back for lunch soon.

    Pimento cheese burger
    Aiden S.

    If you love diners and live in or around Avondale, then you need to try this spot. A classic diner with delicious food, I don't know how you could not love Fox. There's always a line for brunch on the weekend but it moves fast. My go-to is the tuna melt. I add bacon and red onion to it and it's delicious - gooey with crunchy bacon and thinly shaved red onion. I've watched them make it from the bar and was appalled by the insane amount of salt and butter, but it's so good I would still get it again. The pimento cheese burger is also excellent: cheesy and with a great sear - they cook it to medium which I would not necessarily ask for but I do like here. Onion rings are delicious. The booths are a fun place to sit at and admire all the hokey decorations. The bar is also a great spot if it's just you and a partner. This place is not large enough for a group bigger than four. Service is great - super friendly and funny. We have a great time every time we come here!

    Very small but good diner! Great and fast service and great food! Good options. Would say 9.3/10 overall

    Good coffee!

    It was a Thursday morning around 9:30 and it was standing room only. In fact we had to wait outside and were the first in line (outside). It took about 25 minutes before we finally got seated, but I will give the owner kudos for continually checking on us from time to time while we waited and letting us know how much longer it would be before we got seated. The wait was worth it. I had biscuits and gravy with a side order of crispy bacon. It was all very satisfying and delicious. The endless coffee hit the spot. The old style diner played older music and made one feel super comfortable. There's bar seating as well as booths and tables inside. There's also a couple of small tables with seating outside, but in Florida's heat and humidity it's nice to sit inside this time of year. 5 stars for great food and exemplary service. Check them out, and get there early!

    Breakfast but the entire menu is available at this time so you can order lunch items.

    Great retro diner in Avondale. When you step inside, it feels like you're thrown back in time as if you're at a NYC or New Orleans diner with friendly staff. You can sit at the countertop in front of the grill. But my favorite part is that they serve the entire menu for breakfast. So you can order chili cheese fries if you wanted to start your day. Heads up: they don't serve alcohol so no mimosas. Highly recommend.

    Two pancake breakfast
    Marie-Carmen K.

    I love a traditional american breakfast but i did not want to go to a regular diner, and that is how we can across this family owned restaurant less than 2 miles from our home. We had a two pancake breakfast and an omellete. The eggs are freshly cracked, the sausage tastes like heaven and does not compare to anything store bought, it tastes homemade! The pancakes had a nice toasty color on the bottom and also you can tell they make the batter every mornig. The biscuit was TO DIE FOR, it is sooooo soft and flavorful. We had it with the sausage gravy and it was a hit. The service was one of the best i have ever had. Very attentive, refilled my coffee as soon as it was half way, refilled our waters often, checked on us all the time and had such a positive energy that made it feel very welcoming and homey. The ambiance reminds me of a cozy home, every person that walked was so happy to be there, the staff love what they do and all the wall decor adds to the history of this restaurant. 10/10 experience!

    Old school diner vibe and food. Sat at the counter. Wait staff knew customers names. Food was as expected. I had the corned beef hash with eggs and rye toast with a side of fruit. Coffee was only so so but that's how I feel about most coffee served in restaurants.

    The French toast plate! Phenomenal!
    Robert M.

    What a fine! We were in the area and stumbled across the Fox restaurant. Ian, the owner happened to be there, I get the feeling he is there every day, and was beyond friendly. Our server,Sarah, provided incredible insight into the menu items. She has worked there for eight years! The food here is some of the best food I have ever had at a breakfast restaurant in my life. You could eat the gravy straight out of the bowl with nothing else it is that good! The French toast is some of the best French toast I've ever had. All of their food is fantastic and you cannot go wrong. The Fox restaurant has a family atmosphere and an old-school diner vibe to it. We will definitely be going back many, many, many times!

    Love this original-Avondale place! Only a few booths and spots at the bar; therefore, you wait in a line outside the door! But no frets... the line moves smoothly & quickly! So many great brunch choices: corned beef hash, brioche French toast, omelets, etc! There are lunch choices as well. The decor is classic, eclectic 1950s. PS - The coffee is great! Plus, the waitresses are so attentive!

    Bacon, cheese grits, and soft scrambled eggs.
    Keith B.

    I'll just say first off. I have no idea why this place isn't more popular. That being said I've heard about it for years and finally got around to trying it. When I first arrived I immediately felted welcomed because it felt like a diner with super great energy. The place was clean and just felt really at home. The servers or whomever was behind the bar asked me how many was eating in and told me to choose where I would like. I asked and pointed to confirm is a certain table was ok and they agreed. Upon sitting down we were promptly greeted and asked if we would like drinks. Those did not take long at all to come out. Then we ordered and were checked on at least once before our food arrived. Let me just say, I order scrambled eggs soft everywhere I go and very very few places have gotten them right. I didn't mention any of this and didn't even say anything more than just scrambled eggs soft. My eggs may not look like it from the picture but they were perfect! They were soft scrambled with a little runny in them exactly how I like them. My cheese grits were pretty normal and great. But the pancakes, they were way better than I was expecting. They were so good that I actually finished them all. As usually I only finish half and don't care to finish the rest. Absolutely can't wait to come back and try more items.

    Grilled cheese sandwich and chili
    Shan T.

    My favorite go to diner. I'm a sucker for their chili with a grilled cheese sandwich! Comfort food in the exact right way. Teen enjoys the blueberry waffles with fresh fruit. Fruit is always a good mix and not simply the cheap melons. Place is killer with the vibes! The man at the door is by far the coolest hostess to exist. He makes every moment worth the wait; A riot of awesome waitstaff at this place! Every employee makes this special. Parking for this place can be dicey. Usually street side parking is available down Ingleside or Riverside and is a short walk across the street from the restaurant.

    Absolutely scrumptious omelet -- The Riverside

I believe they used a cheddar that was a bit strong for my taste and would have preferred some milder cheese options (like provolone). Regardless, it was tasty. My only complaint (and this may be specific to me) is that they did not have a cola flavored diet drink to offer. Yes, I admit, I need my Diet Coke with my meal. So, I had to walk around the corner and find a place to sell me a soda. Other than that, a great option for a meal.
