Ordered the grilled cheese. Figured for $8 it was gonna be an big, amazing grilled cheese sandwich. four cheeses... yum!! However, I think they ran out of the "big" pieces of bread and what I got what the Wonder Bread from the grocery store. This is the grilled cheese I ate when I was 8 yrs old. And no, this was not ordered off of the kids menu. As my first time eating from the Grey Fox, I am disappointed. IMO - do not order the grilled cheese or you will end up going to a fast food place because you will still be hungry afterwards. 2 stars because the tots were great! read more

Excellent service. Very friendly waitress. We ordered the tater tots, veggie skewers, and the Fox trio. Taters were crispy, sauce delicious, and plentiful portions. They were very salty, so if you're not a fan, skip these or ask for low salt. Veggie skewers were soooo tasty. Grilled just right and seasoned. The sauce was some kind of house Ranch mix and good. The platter was egg salad, chicken salad, and tuna salad. It comes with a good portion of crackers and sits on a bed of lettuce. It was tasty. If I'm back in state again and in the area, I would definitely consider a return visit. read more

Great meals, yummy desserts and great service! Over all.. A great evening! Excluding a table of four who were extremely rude to the owner.. Even after she offered them 20% off the bill.. They weren't happy. ( hard not to hear them). We're frequent customers and have never had any issues with this restaurant. Service is always great! Hopefully these individuals will find a restaurant where everything runs perfect all the time and has no spelling errors on the menu.. Enough said. read more

A good spot in Dover. Lotsa friendly folks and good appetizers. And a good selection of craft beers....and now they include the ABV on the beer menu. Thanks GFG! read more

Grey Fox is really great for a night out or a weekend brunch. The food and drinks are well priced and the staff is great. Nice selection of alcohols. Really cool outdoor area in the back. read more

I'll start with the good, the food was amazing, everything was fresh and clearly made to order. The real concern was the service, we had a party of 6 and had the extremely unfortunate experience of sitting in the back on the first floor......right by the kitchen. I suppose when an order is ready, the chefs way of notifying the servers is to ring a chime (think of a triangle chime in a marching band). So yeah every few minutes we heard the chime (clearly not quiet since they are notifying waitstaff) and if a waitstaff didn't come, they kept chiming. On the fortunate times when staff did go get their food, it literally sounded like a heard of elephants. The restaurant is a beautiful old building with (what I would imagine was the original) hardwood floors. When staff come running for food the whole floor seemed to be shaking (let me note, this is not in any way an attempt to be derogatory about anyone's size, it's the force coupled with the old floors and foundation). It became so loud I took note of what the staff was wearing on their feet, only to be horrified to see a server wearing thin ballet flats. From my prior experience in food service, that's a huge no no for many reasons, to include safety and sanitation. I digress. Immediately our waitress let us know the kitchen was not taking orders for a while, uhmmmmmm ok. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. Everyone got a water, no straw, no return of our waitress, so I went to the bar to get us straws. Two of the girls got their mimosas and I waited and waited and waited some more on my Bloody Mary. They finished their mimosas when I finally got my Bloody Mary. It needed something, salt, pepper, something. Again, no waitress, again, I go back to the bar to get salt and pepper as there was none on our table. It took about 15 minutes before we were able to put our food order in. All the cocktails were done and we were drinking our waters. No mention of any refill or other drink options. We ordered an appetizer and our meals and began the long wait for our food. Again, listening to the chiming of the chime thing and the clumping of the waitstaff feet. We also see other random people walking into the kitchen area. I'm assuming management or owners, but again horrified to see opened toe shoes and one woman talking loudly on her cell phone while doing various things in the kitchen. Sorry that's gross, people take their cellphones everywhere these days and I hate to think she may have been handling food or touching countertops while she was on her cellphone (and how could she hear). After about 45 min (so over an hour of being there) the food arrives. Yes, all the food. The appetizer came out with the meal, so disappointing, as we were looking forward to at least a little something before our meal, oh well. Again the food was amazing and I can somewhat understand the length of time to get it, but was disappointed that the appetizer came so late. That food didn't stand a chance and we were done within 20 min. Again, we wait, this time for the check. At this point all of our waters are empty (ice and all) there was never a mention of refill at any time. It took about 10/15 min to settle up the bill. Overall we were there for over an hour and a half and we were completely miserable by the experience, thinking, while the food was amazing, we would never go back. Was expecting so much more and it is such a beautiful and historical spot, but just not worth the return for such mediocre service. read more

Good tasting food. Nice setting. Looking forward to summer outdoor seating and music.

We had reservations for 1pm on Easter Sunday. At 1:40 our orders had been taken and water had been brought out. Didn't get the food until 2:40. My food was okay, others complained that theirs was undercooked or cold. They would have sent it back, but then it would have taken another hour? Asked for drink refills, never got them. Beware. read more

The food here is amazing! Atmosphere was also really awesome. It's a really neat place. Try the loaded tater tots! They are pretty pricey, but to me the service and quality of food was well worth it! read more

An excellent atmosphere for coffee, dinner, meetings, the evening pint, or any combination of motivations. The decor wonderfully fits the building itself and celebrates The Old Town well. Price isn't cheep but it's cheaper and better than Starbucks...that being said I don't know if they have wifi. I never checked. I go about once a week and thoroughly enjoy it. read more

I was looking for a venue for my mother's 95th and her sister-in-law's 96 birthday party. After looking around, I ended up choosing the GreyFox grill and and all I can say is that I am so happy with the outcome. The staff was amazing and hard-working. They help me put together an event that got so much buzz amongst family and friends and something my mother and my aunt will never forget. They are always happy people but, I have not seen them this elated EVER. One thing that's I worried about, before I chose this place was if they would allow me to have free range of creativity and, yes, they did, as long as it was within reason and did not harm the historic building.. I was able to bring my smart speaker and play a ton of music that I had downloaded. We must have had at least a hundred people there. People are still talking about it. As stated earlier, this isn't an historic building, and, like many historic buildings, their bathrooms are upstairs, instead of down. So I asked if I could have a porta-potty downstairs, because it would be hard for my mother and her sister-in-law to walk up 15 stairs and, they granted my wish and we had a porta-potty out back, for anybody who could not walk up stairs. If you're looking to book an event in Dover, Delaware. I would highly recommend The Grey Fox Grille. The staff is friendly and hardworking. I really appreciated the work that they put into helping get this off the ground and a huge success... read more

Great service, nice place - all our food was good but I ordered the 2 for $19.99 crab cakes - would rather have gotten 1 made with jumbo lump crabmeat rather than the lower quality meat. My meal was saved by the excellent veggie of the day - green beans! read more

Ny strip was bland and chewy, service mediocre. Ordered white wine, received red. Glad we paid the extra $3 each for a side salad (WHICH SHOULD COME WITH THE MEAL) because the sides were beyond disgusting. Ate here 4 yrs ago and loved it, huge disappointment. Paid $75 for 2 lousy meals I fed to my dogs. Won't be back read more

Sorry to say, it wasn't a good lunch visit. Place was mostly empty, which is not a good sign. I asked for an unsweetened ice tea and my husband a root beer. My iced tea was served Luke warm, with no ice! Hubby's soda was flat with two ice cubes! We looked at the menu, had a very bad feeling about this place, paid for our sodas and left without eating. Not wasting our money or taking a chance on a place that seemed pricy, charges extra if you want cheese on your burger! The lunch wait staff needs to be schooled on how to serve a cold beverage! We might give it a try for dinner sometime. Lunch was not cutting it.... read more

This was a last minute stop. My friends and I were celebrating my birthday and drove down to Delaware. It was 8pm so we called first to make sure they had availability. They weren't sure if they could accommodate three people due to some issue but after discussion she said to come on in. I have to say, from the moment we walked in- the ambiance, service, the food, and the drinks were all fantastic! The chef even came out to check on us! We couldn't have been more pleased. I have to recommend the tacos, they were phenomenal, and we are making a point to go back soon! Thank you so much for accommodating on short notice and making sure we enjoyed ourselves! read more

My wife & I have had nothing but fantastic service & remarkably delicious food.... the bartenders are always friendly and offer great selections ... I had the BLT wrap with extra bacon it was Amazing !!! Baconpalooza ... we will definitely be coming back read more

I sat at the bar on Friday and must say that Nolan the bartender was awesome! I wasn't to sure on what I wanted and asked for a recommendation; he recommended the tater tots and boy were they amazing! Service was great and the food was awesome ! I'll be back soon to try out brunch. read more

The food is amazing (you have to try the Beef Wellington)! The service is awesome! Kyana went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic date night. We will definitely be back soon!!!! read more

We went here for my husband's birthday and it was wonderful! The building is historical and beautiful. We had our own room for the reservation which was so nice. The appetizers were delicious. My New York strip was HUGE and cooked just right. The prices were also extremely reasonable. Everyone was accommodating of the two toddlers we had with us and our waiter was amazing. We will definitely be back! They helped make my husband's birthday one of the best he's ever had. read more

On the fence, just stopped in St. Patty's day around 1115 pm. The bartender who was polite said we've decided to close since business is slow but you can order a last call drink. It made sense, but just like that 25+ people came in the next few minutes. With about an hour and half left on St. Patrick's Day she said same thing and people were still coming in probably 35+. I don't know if any business locally that can afford to do this both financially and from a word of mouth stand point. Very confusing that they threw away quite of a bit of money (that's their business) but left first impression for the 5 of us as so-so. I will try again just because I worked with the owner years ago at The Nuts Restaurant and she is very dedicated to her craft and is conscientious and thorough! Quick owner reply read more

Service was good, server was friendly. Food tasted good. We arrived a little after 4, so they were still serving lunch. I had a Shanghai burger. It tasted great, but they use flat burgers, so unable to request medium rare. Can not comment on dinner too. Both my husband and I recommend trying The Grey Fox at least for lunch. Reasonably priced. The resauant is a renovated old house, which is pretty cool. read more

The food is definitely amazing and can tell it's all from scratch and not frozen stuff thrown on a plate!! The service is always so friendly and inviting!!! My family and myself continue to come back not only for the regular menu items but for the unique specials that the culinary team comes up with! The Grey Fox is definitely the gem of Downtown Dover!!!!! Highly recommend trying!!! read more

Very very good food ! The service was excellent, I was offered the special of Cheesesteak Sliders and boy were they delectable !! Love this restaurant , prices are reasonable too! read more

Ok, even taking covid into account and possible staff shortages. None of that explains the bad service. We arrived at 6:00 on a Friday seated promptly in a relatively empty indoor dining area. We where given QR codes to access the menu, we were also given printed menus eventually. Ordered starters, one showed up, when asked about other starters we were told they were not available, told we should not order from online menu only printed menu. We ordered 4 entrees from printed menu, after awhile we were informed that 3 of the four are not a available. So after substitutions and an hour and fifteen minutes after our arrival we had entrees. 2 of had ordered asparagus for our side, they substituted squash with out asking. 2 of our party ended up with burgers that were grey and salty and cold hashbrowns. Another ended up with over cooked dry chicken breast and squash. I ordered lemon garlic Baramundi and asparagus, they substituted some cold tasteless fish and squash. We picked through the food paid our bill of over 100.00 dollars left and went somewhere else for dinner. read more

Great setting for a restaurant. Located in a old fashioned home, this gives the restaurant a intimate yet casual vibe. The staff was amazing along with the food. Every time I'm up for a nice dinner this restaurant will always be mentioned. read more

Always keep an open mind and your expectations lowered, but with the Grey Fox you won't have to do that. Great service, food always tastes better when it's served right. It's pretty easy to win me over if the drinks are one of the many reasons to come back, since their food is also on point they're just not playing fair anymore. Peak times you won't wait too long, maybe 15-30 mins max. Do yourself a favor and get yourself the ribeye, or any cut of meat. It's done right, right as in medium rare. Where it doesn't come out dryer than most people's humor out here. read more

Nice find for first visit to Dover. Lovely atmosphere with good energy. Wait staff was friendly and efficient and meal was very good. Loved the shepherds pie! read more

Great food, the French toast were amazing, food came out really quick. The service was excellent. The place is very cozy, we sat next to the fire place. read more

Having only been open for about a month, I would expect there to be some hiccups, but not as many as there were tonight. On first sitting down our waiter informed us that three of the main entrees were not available - something their website fails to mention. Both I and one of my companions had our hearts set on the Beef Wellington. If you aren't going to offer it, why is it on the menu? maybe it should be offered as a special. (There were no specials tonight.) The available entrees were limited, but the filet I had was truly cooked to perfection and well seasoned. The side dishes were even more limited than the entrees. FIngerling potatoes, quinoa, and mixed vegetables were all that was available. Though I must say, the potatoes and vegetables were excellent. Server was fine and very friendly, but had to check twice whether something was allowed. The wine list was OK, but seriously lacking in white wine selections. Is was almost like there was a section of the list missing. All in all, a very promising place for Dover. I can only hope they get it together and complete their menu read more

We were disappointed. First time ever Yelp reviews let us down. Excellent location, quaint converted house with hard wood floors - but that creates a very noisy environment. Waiter greeted us with a litany of everything they were out of before we even opened the menu. Waiter was not well versed with the menu and we often had to ask him for clarification as he stumbled. We ordered the filet and after we finished salads - which were surprisingly scimpy - waiter informed us filet was gone. So rather than offer the t-bone or something, he left to retrieve the menu again. I would have expected an offer something for the inconvenience, but nothing. The crab cakes were underwhelming. Served with "out of the jar" tartar and cocktail sauce. Really sad. read more

After reading some of the reviews, I was nervous about trying this place; however, I'm happy that I did! My friend and I went here after seeing a play at the Schwartz center. Walked in and waited to be seated as stated at the hostess sign, not many people there for a Saturday night. Stood there waiting for a while, deciding if we should leave and try somewhere else. Finally the bartender had poked his head around from the back of the restaurant and asked us if we had been waited on, he then informed us that their hostess had left nearly an hour before we got there. We were seated at an adorable table. This place was completely redone from the former establishment - huge improvement. We ordered drinks (wine, waters, and soda). Our waitress, Rachel, was delightful. She was prompt and attentive. I informed her of my food allergies and she was very receptive and helpful. She found the answers to all our questions and we settled on the chicken skewers as an appetizer. DELICIOUS! Perfect cook of the meat, it was tender and juicy! And the dipping sauce just made it pop! Yum! We ordered more wine, and entrees: the Venetian Chicken and Vermont Pork Chop. Yum yum yum! The meats were cooked perfectly! The sides were my only complaint, between my friend and I we ordered all of them (2 each with entrees). The mashed potatoes and seasonal vegetables is the way to go! The "hot tots" just normal tots, and mine weren't warm. And the garlic herbed cous cous left much to be desired. Then we ordered the chocolate lava cake. It was okay - sort of hard and not warm, but that didn't stop us from eating it. Overall, a good experience. I would be willing to go again and get that app and now I know the sides to get!!! read more

Thoroughly disappointing experience! Took nearly three hours just to have lunch, several orders were messed up, we waited forever for everything...all around rough! Asked what was gluten free (and explained I have Celiac Disease) before I ordered, two servers told me everything can be done gluten free, I ordered the crab cake Benedict (on potatoes, not bread). When my meal came I asked if the crab cake and potatoes were fried, they were, and they were fried in a fryer that fried chicken tenders, etc...lots of cross-contamination! They then made me an omelette (that was too oily and salty). One of our servers graciously explained that he doesn't know what gluten is and he was very willing to learn from me about it. The other server said she told the chef my food couldn't be cross-contaminated but they did it anyway. The manager apparently said most people with celiac disease are lying and just don't want to eat gluten so they ignore it. Two people from my party of 6 asked to speak with the manager but she refused / never came to our table. Ultimately they took the crab cake entree and 20% off our bill because it was such a poor, not Celiac friendly experience. Our male server who is actually a chef and got thrown into serving that day was super great - nothing else about the experience was. read more

I LOVE this place. The food is as close to PERFECT as you can get. My favorite is the Cilantro Barramiundi. I could literally eat there everyday. I've also tasted the Parmesan Crusted Salmon, the Bone in Pork Shank, and the Filet Mignon. All great! Everything taste fresh and homemade, also the service is pleasant and friendly. Great choice for lunch and dinner in Dover. read more

Stopped by for apps with friends. Had the cheese board, tots, and chicken skewers. Everything amazing and the bartender was awesome.

First time visiting, certainly won't be the last. Great prime rib, excellent martinis, and at half price on Wednesdays, somehow they just taste even better. Will absolutely be back. read more
