Stumbled upon Leroy Fox while walking through South End and honestly couldn't have made a better random stop. The $15 beer bucket is an absolute steal, and pairing that with $1.25 wings? Hard to beat for the area. The ambiance is great -- exactly the kind of spot you want to catch an NFL game with a group. Our server was friendly and attentive, which always makes a difference. The wings were solid -- we went with the deep fried and grilled option, which came out well. My only note would be that I'd love to see a strictly grilled wing option on the menu for those who prefer it. A small ask, but it would make this place even more of a go-to. Will definitely be back for game day. Gem of a find in South End. read more

I would like to give this place 2 1/2 stars so I am unfortunately rounding down. I came here on a Saturday at 7 PM with a couple friends for dinner. We made a reservation, but it did not appear to be necessary because the place was only half full. We sat at a four top on the covered patio area and placed a couple orders for drinks and appetizers. I had a strawberry mocktail that was actually decent and served in a cup glass, which elevated the experience and presentation. my friend ordered the polar express which looked like a espresso martini, but apparently was not one. We started with fried zucchini bites and chicken nuggets. Our reservation was for 7 PM, but we did not receive our drinks until at least 730 and our first appetizer did not appear until after 8 PM. We then placed our order for the main entrée. I got the quarter south with the kale quinoa, side salad and my friends got a couple sandwiches. The food arrived around 8:30 PM by which point we were all very hungry. One of my friends had to ask for the side of honey mustard multiple times before we finally got an extra dipping sauce as far as flavor goes the nuggets and zucchini fries were OK at best not bad but definitely nothing to write home about and they took forever to come out. I liked my quarter south enough, the leg and the thigh but the kale quinoa salad was just too bland it was dressed, but definitely not enough or they just need a better dressing something with more flavor and zing. We didn't even bother asking for a dessert menu because we did not want to be held hostage any longer. Price wise it was pretty on point with other restaurants in the area, but overall this place was just very slow and did not live up to expectations as one of my friends had been here a while back and was actually a regular I think. Because the service was so slow I got my ticket validated, but it exceeded the two hours so I still had to pay for parking which was a little bit annoying considering I waited over an hour for appetizers. Unfortunately, this one was a miss. @azfitfoodfun read more

I visited Leroy Fox on Monday afternoon around 4 PM, and honestly, I'm very disappointed with the experience. When we first arrived, it wasn't busy at all. We were greeted quickly, seated right away, and the server initially seemed attentive. That gave me a great first impression. We ordered drinks and an appetizer, and those came out in a reasonable time. However, things completely changed after that. Once we finished our appetizer and drinks, we had to wait for the waitress to return so we could place our entrée order. After ordering, we waited about 30 minutes for our food--while a couple who came in about 20 minutes after us received their entrées before we did. To make matters worse, we had paid for parking (about 1 hour and 30 minutes) expecting a quick visit since it was a slow Monday. Instead, we ended up using the entire time just waiting. Our meals were simple--wings with mac and cheese, and a Carolina dip sandwich--so it was confusing why it took so long. During the wait, there was no real check-in from our server. We were told once that our food would be "out shortly," but that was about 10 minutes in... and we still waited another 20 minutes after that. Customer service really dropped off. * No apology for the delay * No check-ins * No offer for refills * No "Is everything okay?" after the food arrived * No offer for a to-go bag I understand they were training a new employee, but once the trainer stepped away, the main server should have been more attentive. The food itself was okay--not bad, but not enough to make up for the experience. For me, customer service is everything, and unfortunately, this was a poor experience overall. Because of that, I won't be returning. read more

The aesthetics was probably the best part of this restaurant. I've heard of it for awhile now but never visited . I see now that I wasn't missing anything . The service overall was nice nothing spectacular or put forth much effort at all for that matter . Everything was just mediocre. Applebees type food with Leroy Fox prices . Not worth the revisit . Save your money and go elsewhere ! read more

My girlfriends and I were out to grab a coffee and the place we were at don't open until later, so we came here. This was my first time, but not theirs. There wasn't a wait at all and was immediately able to place our orders. Our waitress was very sweet and gave us suggestions. It was fairly quiet, but played great music! Everything looked amazing on the menu, so I tried the Shrimp and Grits and the Strawberry Lemon Drop mocktail. As many shrimp and grits I've tried in the past, this one was soooo amazing, it's better than Midnight Diner! The grits were very creamy and the drink was even better! 10/10, I suggest everyone go and try it! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

4.5/5! Leroy Fox has always been a place I walk by and have been before, but hadn't thought to go back, but so glad I did today. Steady Friday crowd, but not overly busy. Bartender was super attentive and easy going. It's a nice, laid back spot which at the end of a hectic week is awesome. I went with the Prohibited Burger with no lettuce and it was so good! Paired it with the cajun fries as well. The burger was perfectly cooked and did not slide off the bun which is always a plus. Fries were perfect also. My friend got the mac and cheese which was so so good. Cannot wait to go back. One note, it is in South End so parking can be tricky if you're hoping for street parking. If not, there are decks all around for parking. read more

We stopped in around lunch time and were greeted by friendly staff and a nearly empty restaurant. I thought the decor inside was very cute and remember seeing a few tables outside on a patio as well - but we opted for indoor. Our food came out piping hot and quick. Which we were appreciative of since we arrived starving. read more

I recently tried Leroy Fox after hearing all the hype on TikTok, and honestly... the experience didn't match the buzz. The restaurant was pretty empty--only a few tables--so we expected quick, attentive service. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. Our food took a long time to come out, and there was a new server in training. We're not 100% sure what happened, but it seemed like our order may have been put in late. To make it worse, another table that came in about 25-30 minutes after us received their entrée before we did--even though we ordered first. Once the original server stepped in, there was still no explanation or real acknowledgment of the delay. The lack of communication and attentiveness really stood out. Now, to be fair--the atmosphere was nice, and the prices were reasonable. But customer service? 0/10. Wait time? 0/10. By the time our food finally arrived, we had already been sitting for nearly an hour--and we asked for the check right after. We didn't make a scene, just paid and left. We even left a small tip because we understand how the industry works--this wasn't about the money. Overall, based on our experience, we probably won't be back. That said, I'd never tell someone not to try a place--go see for yourself. Just know the service may not match the hype. read more

Food was really good! I had the Chicken Benny and my wife had the Avocado Toast with a side of Brussels Sprouts. Both dishes were satisfying and very tasty. Prices were also very reasonable. Service was attentive, relatively quick, and friendly. No complaints here. Restaurant was pretty noisy but it was late into brunch and I believe the table close to us wasn't just enjoying the food . We've been to Leroy Fox before and we'll be back. read more

Our office walked over to Leroy Fox this week for lunch. We had a group of 12 of us. The table was ready when we arrived, as I called to let them know we'd be coming. The service was outstanding from start to finish - the staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything ran smoothly. For larger groups, this was definitely noticeable. The highlight for me was definitely the Zucchini Fries and the Honey Buffalo Wrap - both were absolutely delicious! Perfectly cooked, packed with flavor, and the right amount of heat. Highly recommend this place for a group outing or any lunch occasion. Will definitely be back! read more

This restaurant is very warm and welcoming with a great friendly staff. The interior is spacious and very clean. They were welcoming in letting our team celebrate a great national title. We ordered their famous delicious chicken steak plate. It was fantastic and full of flavor. Their cocktails are made very well also. We loved everything about this restaurant and staff! read more

Leroy Fox - South End - Great place here - Southern Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

With Leroy Fox I just have to keep it simple. If you like good food, come here! I alternate between the chicken pita and buffalo chicken sandwich. If you're deciding between those two, you can't go wrong! And their Cajun fries are the move! The customer service is typically very good and music is a vibe! That's my favorite thing about this place, second to the food of course! The only downfall is it often takes a long time for your food to come out. So if you're in a rush you may want to weigh all your options! read more

Leroy Fox is always a 10/10. My husband and I have ate here several times and always leave happy! The drinks are good and the food is always great! We typically order the buffalo chicken dip as an app and two different chicken sandwich's and split to have a combo. Definitely recommend! read more

Leroy Fox - South End - Chicken Fried Chicken, Mac & Cheese, Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread - Southern Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Nothing to rave about. Came here on a Saturday night and was able to grab a table immediately. I usually order wine but since their drink names were catchy, I wanted to try one. After getting recommendations from our host, I ordered the Perry Styles. It's pear vodka with prosecco and pear simple syrup. They make their own simple syrup! I thought that was pretty cool. However half the glass was filled with ice and I could hardly tell there was alcohol in it. Tasted more like a juice. Came in a tall glass. I think it should be in a short glass. Cool concept but not worth reordering. My entree was the chicken grill with honey glaze, ceasar salad and mac n cheese. Let's start with the chicken. The host asked "how do you want your chicken" since it comes with 3 options 1. honey glazed 2. blackened 3. citrus olive oil.... when it arrived I noticed it was blackened and not honey glaze. The host said it was her mistake, which makes sense considering she didn't write down our order. Instead of asking for it to be remade, I just asked for the honey glaze on the side. The ceasar salad was ok, romane lettuce, croutons and bottled dressing. The mac n cheese was interesting. Before ordering I asked the host if their mac has real cheese and not creamy soup based mac. She said it's on top. Since they use the spiral noodles I figured I'd try it. Yup, it is creamy soup based on the inside and melted real cheese on top. I'm not a fan of soup mac n cheese. It's a miss for me. My friend ordered the blackened salmon with mac n cheese and brussel sprouts. She agreed on the mac. Her blackened salmon skin was burnt. The guy came out and said that's how they make it blackened. Last time I checked, blackened anything is the flavor. It was evident either the burner was too high or the salmon has been cooking too long. Blackened does not equal burnt. Her mocktail also contained the same amount of ice as my drink. And the lemonade is Minute Maid. Price was cool, a little under $40 for each with taxes and stuff. Staff tried their best but there could definitely be some improvements. I came, I saw, but won't be returning. read more

Interesting location being connected to what seems to be apartments but they do a great job making the porch feel homey. Solid food with nice servers. Followed the status quo for brunch, and you can find the same menu items at any breakfast spot in South End. read more

I loved this place! The server was very attentive and the hostess asked our seating preferences which I appreciated. The food was excellent. I was able to make pretty much any cocktail on the menu into a mocktail, and the berry smash was excellent as a mocktail. read more

The service started off very slow, despite not too many customers and waitresses passing by and adverting their eyes. Even after the hostess, embarrassed by the lack of attention, went to the back to appeal, it took another 5 - 10 minutes just for water & an acknowledgement. The chicken sandwich (which are noted as the best on menu) was completely bland, the fries were cold. They did bring fresh fries when asked. In the end, the waitress who finally waited on us was polite and welcoming, but the experience had already been ruined. read more

Friendly servers and decent food. I don't have any complaints, but I can't quite figure out the vibe and I thought the food was missing something I couldn't put my finger on. The service was quick and friendly. We tried the Leroy's Favorite (fried) Chicken Sandwich was alright. The Leroy's Honey Buffalo (grilled) Chicken Sandwich was really good. The Mac N Cheese was good too. They have a good selection of drinks but the menu needed some work regarding what is current. They are kid friendly, which I think is a good thing. Overall good option. read more

A Charlotte staple I had yet to try and it was worth the wait! I loved all the menu options and decided on the Chicken and Biscuits with a scrambled egg. One critique would maybe be the temperature of the food could've been a little hotter but I was still very happy with my experience and meal! read more

Our bartender and server were both chatty and genuinely nice--joked around with us the whole time. I asked for no onions on my burger and they handled it perfectly with a smile. Atmosphere felt warm and welcoming, exactly what we needed after a long week. read more

Popped in for lunch and our server had us sorted in no time--food came out quick and the portions were actually generous. Everything tasted fresh and we walked out full without breaking the bank. Really nice surprise, we'll be regulars now. read more

Leroy Fox sounds like a cool character in a movie or video game rather than a restaurant in Charlotte, NC. It was within walking distance of our hotel which is a plus and there were a number of other things around it and it seemed like a trendy area. One thing that drives me nuts is chairs with no backs. The last thing I want to do for a long corporate dinner (or hanging with friends) is balance myself on a stool. Put a back on the chair, please! Service was OK. We were all crammed in a high top table with some people sitting on the corners (we had a reservation and that's what they gave us). With that, prompt clearing of plates would have been nice. It wasn't super crowded either. We had a number of appetizers for the table and they were all pretty good. The buffalo cauliflower was really good and we ended up getting more! Yum! Cocktails were pretty good too. Nothing out of this world spectacular, but their version of an Old Fashioned was good, and so was the mezcal drink. The fried chicken seemed to be the "star" on the menu, so I ordered that and it was pretty great. The seasoning and crunch were awesome. Some people ordered the chicken fried chicken and weren't fans of that, so if you're torn, go with the fried chicken. It comes with the cornbread too and it was a lot of food (I think I got the 1/2 chicken). I'd go back if I was in town and probably try and keep the group smaller if possible. And I'd leave if they put me on another high-top with no backed chairs! read more

Good place to grab brunch! A friend and I went here on a Sunday early-afternoon (around 1PM) for brunch. It was a Panthers home game day, but when we arrived there wasn't a wait luckily. I don't live in Charlotte, but my friend who does said that it's usually packed so we definitely lucked out. There's street parking, parking decks, and parking lots all around so there are plenty of parking options, but they do not have their own adjacent private parking lot. The restaurant has a plenty of space inside with a full bar and plenty of tables. They also have an outdoor patio. We were greeted quickly and ordered mimosas. Then we ordered our meals. I ordered the wings with Barbalo sauce and a side salad. I wasn't sure what Barbalo sauce was, but the server explained that it was a blend of barbecue and buffalo sauce, a signature recipe of Leroy Fox. It was delicious! Not too sweet, but not too spicy. It was more of a tangy sauce, but not overwhelming. I also appreciated that the sauce wasn't slathered all over the wings, just enough. My friend ordered the Salmon entree with Brussels sprouts and mac and cheese. Our server recommended the mac & cheese. I tasted a bite of my friend's and it was very good! Although we went for brunch, neither one of use really ordered a "brunch" item so I definitely would like to return when I'm more in a brunch-food mood. Recommend checking it out if you're in the area. read more

So happy our original reservations for brunch fell through and my girlfriends and I ended up at Leroy Fox. We called ahead of time to see if there was a wait for us, (group of four) they said no come on by and they were empty on a Sunday morning! I was a little hesitant on seeing this, but my friend assured me that the food was well worth it. From the moment we walked in and left the service was impeccable. What I did find strange was they don't have a specialty coffee menu, so no flavors, lattes and such. But that was ok we got basic brunch beverages of mimosas and espresso martinis. The food was incredible. Everything tasted fresh, cooked to the right temperature and so flavorful. I am still salivating at the thought of the pimento cheese spread on my chicken biscuit sandwich. Seriously, recommend coming here for brunch, lunch or anytime you're hungry. Can't wait to be in the Charlotte area again for my next visit. read more

I visited for the first time yesterday and loved the atmosphere (we opted to sit on the patio). It was a warm day, the fans were blowing, and it was overall very nice. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with truffle fries. It was my first time having truffle fries, and I quickly discovered that I don't like the flavor so my waiter quickly exchanged it to regular fries for me. Other than that, my food was really good. I went to lunch with two family members and unfortunately we had to wait at least 40 minutes for our food so the waiter brought us tater tots and french fries to snack on. He said the wait was due to a large group that kept having issues with their order. I understand that things do happen, but I also feel that waiting 40 minutes for your order is extreme. Yes it was lunchtime and the patio wasn't crowded and there was a decent amount of people eating on the inside, but not to the point where it should take that long for them to make our food. read more

I've been here a couple times and the service and food was good. Wish there was a bit more diversity amongst the staff

This is a 10/10 stop. Everything has that slow cooked quality. The blacked chicken had the perfect char but was extremely tender and juicy. The zucchini fries had the best batter I've had in my life and they were meaty slices which made them a really filling and delicious app. You have to have the bang bang sauce! Our waitress was a quintessential blonde sweetheart who reminded me so much of Georgia from the Netflix show Ginny and Georgia. She was patient and read the room so well. I finished my entire plate here. I miss quality Southern food and this is one of the better spots I've been to without having to go so far South to find it. The menu has a wide range of options, but everything we had was cooked with such care and attention to details. I truly savored this. The main room was a bit loud, but the "outdoor" space is much quieter and cozy. The music ranged from Tupac to 90s house. The football game was on with a projector and a large tv in this outdoor space, which kept this vibe somewhere between an upscale college bar and a homey Southern fried chicken joint. There's a lot to do in the area. The Rail Trail lights were a perfect way to take a stroller after this indulgent feast! If I'm in Charlotte again, I will be back!! read more

My family loves Leroy Fox - we always know we are going to get a delicious meal, excellent portions and wonderful service. Most recently we went for brunch on Small Business Saturday. Even though it was busy, everything came out in a timely manner and our server was excellent (Patrick W was top notch)! All our food was amazing, and when your 5 year old eats her entire bowl of grits, you know it's good stuff! Also treat yourself to the strawberry peach mimosa - that was delicious and not overly sweet. read more

Get the fried chicken if it's your first visit. Don't go exploring until you've had a chance to sample their staple dish. I'm a Southside guy, dark meat is best. If you're not into juicy then you probably like your steaks medium well. The sides are heavy, the Mac and cheese and the casserole are meals on their own. The nachos are a mainstay for me. Every time I'm here I always order it. It's a great portion and just a great starter. Lots of room in the dining room. I've never had to wait for a table. Bar seating is very comfortable. That's where you'll find me... read more

I came here with some girls for food and cocktails. The ambience and our server Nicole was great, however, the food was mediocre.

food was decent. Not the best pizza I've ever had but the Caesar was great and I loved the croutons, they tasted homemade!

We visit this place often, as we live closeby. The food is delicious, especially salmon dishes (salmon salad, salmon BLT), fantastic fried chicken sandwiches, sweet potato fries, and more!

Ended up here for my impromptu birthday dinner and I'm glad we came in. They weren't too busy on Memorial Day which was great. Our server was nice and attentive. I ordered the chicken grill with Mac and cheese and seasoned fries for my sides. When the food came out everything was piping hot and super fresh. I enjoyed my entire meal and it was shareable so I didn't fuss every time my boyfriend stuck his fork into my mac and cheese or stole a fry. The patio was kind of full so we ate insdfThey had a good playlist going with the music videos showing on the tvs to match the songs. The also had a NBA game on (Miami vs. Boston) so our attention was kept while we waited for the food. When I went to the bathroom they pulled the typical "it's her birthday stunt" and I was "surprised" with a cup of banana pudding and a candle before the bill came. Banana pudding was tasty and had lots of banana chucks in it which I'm a huge fan of. I'm a rare bred but actually like the bananas in my pudding. Anyways, everything here was a hit and I am already adding it to my list of places to come back to sooner rather than later. read more

Great brunch! We came in on a Sunday around noon and got seated right away. The waitress came around often to refill our drinks and check on us. I got the chicken biscuit (with the egg on the side). It comes with pimento cheese on top. The fried chicken is really good. It was around $16. I chose the hash brown casserole as my side, but it was hard to choose because all of the sides sound delicious. The casserole was amazing. Really cheesy. Great ambiance for brunch! Has a really cute patio, but it was full so we sat inside. There were lots of TVs around. There is street parking around, but south end can be hard to get parking, so leave yourself plenty of time to circle around. read more

Better late than never... I finally tried this Charlotte staple, and I am please to say it lived up to the hype! Located in the heart of Southend, this place lives off southern comfort food and it excels at it. I tried the 1/4 North fried chicken with brussel sprouts and it was incredible. The chicken has loads of flavor without being salty, and the crunch when you take your first, second and third bite is absolutely perfect. There isn't a heaviness or greasy texture to be found. I liked the brussle sprouts but didn't love them, they tasted like the ones I make in a rush for meal prep. The ambiance was excellent, there is a large dining area with a decent sized bar surrounded by tv's on every side. The patio is also spacious and make for great people watching on the rail trail. Lastly the customer service was wonderful. Our server was attentive and informative of the menu when I told her it was my first time. Pro tip: Try the banana pudding, while it's not my favorite in Charlotte at only 6.00 for a large mason jar full...why not?! read more

Came on a Saturday at 10:15 am and had no wait for a party of 6! Service: 10/10. Our server Jamie was great, and she went out of her way to make it a great experience. She noticed we had some confetti on the table to celebrate a birthday, and she immediately asked who we were celebrating and offered the birthday girl a complimentary cocktail and dessert. Food: hit or miss... - I got the 1/4 south (fried chicken with jalapeño cornbread and a side of cinnamon tots). The chicken was awesome. The cornbread was cold but good flavor. And the tots were not my cup of tea (very sweet), but others liked them - my friends got the chicken and waffles and said it was mediocre, and 2 others ordered the chicken benedict and the chicken biscuit. Both said it was okay. The biscuit was dry, chicken was good. - toffee tollhouse cookie was delish!!! Would definitely order again. I recommend sticking to the chicken. It's awesome! read more
