The friendly fox is a hidden jewel in Fort Wayne. Located in the 07 ZIP Code, it has delicious soups, sandwiches, drinks and desserts. The addition of the outdoor patio makes the entire experience that much better. We live in walking distance and yet recommend this restaurant to everyone we meet. If you haven't been to the friendly Fox yet, go now! read more

We like to come here for lunch. It's always a good experience. Good customer service, great food and specialty drinks.I highly recommend and we will be back read more

Tried to go in for lunch at 2pm but was told they decided to close early today. Open sign still on, lots of people around eating. Nothing indicating they would be closing or were closed. read more

This house salad is one of the best salads I've ever been served, and that's saying a lot. I've eaten salads internationally, and by far this one out paces all of them. The service was timely and great, the atmosphere is homey, and if your into health food, you'll feel right at home. Check this quiet, quaint Cafe/coffee shop out on the South side of town. I highly recommend it! read more

Tried something new in town. Quaint place with nice outdoor seating. The staff was super friendly and kind. Prices are pretty steep though, even for a boutique coffee shop. I was super excited for the s'mores latte, but it definitely didn't meet expectations unfortunately. It really didn't taste like s'mores at all. read more

Wonderful food, great staff. Location is perfect. Glad there are restaurants in the Southside

One of our favorites places in Fort Wayne. Check out their weekly special on Facebook. Always great! Love the spring roll appetizer and the desserts are always amazing. Just wish the lavender lemonade came with free refills. I could drink a pitcher. read more

So we went in for a first try and I can't say that I hated it. I feel I may need to try it for lunch instead of breakfast but that will be another day. The sandwich was good but it was quite bland. The casserole too was very bland and texture wise wasn't at all my favorite. The cinnamon roll smelled amazing and didn't tast bad either though I can say it was dry. Over all tge food was fine. And although I feel that staff was a bit underdressed they were fantastic with service. I don't think I will be going back for breakfast anytime in the future. None the less I think even though it wasn't my cup of tea others should still try it! read more

First time going here, it has a Lovely aura and is very cozy and inviting. The menu had a nice variety and not huge portion sizes, which I love. A nice coffee selection with a daily special (their honey bunny latte is the best). If I wasn't moving soon I would make this a regular eat. read more

Fresh, delicious food. They're chorizo phyllos and butternut squash flatbread are to die for! The first time I got both of those items at a table of 3 we ordered seconds, OF BOTH. With the virus going on we've only gotten carry out once every 1-2 weeks and I made this place a MUST because I want to make sure they stay in business through it! Soooooo good! read more

Excited to try this as we had seen reviews and talked to others. It definitely did not disappoint!! Fast array of thoughtful sandwiches, wraps and salads. Chips, potato salad, and soups are available as a side for an upcharge. Highly recommend read more

If you look for a cozy and relaxing environment to dine and enjoy the moment, this is it:) We used to live in that neighborhood and The Friendly Fox was our main place to have a meal or simply a coffee. Make sure to check it out, if not already. read more

The food is always good at The Friendly Fox. I enjoyed the Granny Smith/bacon salad with chicken, so tasty. My husband at the Buffalo Chicken Wrap, it too is always so tasty. We look forward to being able to sit outside read more

Whenever my husband and I are in town visiting family, we eat here regularly. We have breakfast here every morning. I love the quiche and casseroles. Last night, we came in for supper and entertainment. My golden beet salad was delicious, and my husband's BLT was tasty. It was so nice to listen to entertainment someplace other than a bar. Friendly Fox is a wonderful asset to Fort Wayne. I wish we had one where we live in Virginia. read more

So I get it, everyone in the neighborhood loves having this place. But come on, the food is good, but not great. The service, well it's service and no it's not that "friendly". The food is super inflated in price, down right ridiculous. It's a meh for me. Other then it's a nice place to walk to, I got nothing fabulous to say. read more

Had heard about this place and finally found opportunity to try it out. It's a best kept secret! Wonderful neighborhood eatery with an upscale menu with reasonable prices. My friend and I both enjoyed our conversation and our Oriental Salads, but I didn't think to take a photo of the presentation. Perhaps my writing this three days later may compensate. The Friendly Fox staff was gracious and professional. Even though we live North, we plan to return to samples the rest of the menu. The atmosphere is collegiate, providing lots of windows and WiFi. If you're looking for a cozy spot to talk or work you may find it perfect for both and then there's the menu! read more

Great casual breakfast. Very affordable. Nice ambience. Garbage plate was excellent as was the veggie hummus egg sandwich.

We love the food and coffee here. Great lunch place! Plenty of dessert items - ice cream and cakes, etc.

What a great surprise find in an old neighborhood evidently being gentrified. The food is very well done and fresh. Service is good and wow, the restroom was clean. Nice sidewalk seating too with Acoustic music weekends. Went back next day and took friends. Love it. read more

Stopped by the Friendly Fox a couple times when I visited Fort Wayne. I would hands down be a regular here if I lived in town! The mochas/lattes were absolutely fantastic! The service was very friendly. I got their slice of Quiche for my breakfast and was very happy with how yummy it was. read more

I've been coming here for 10 years, and I'll keep coming back. This place is a gem in the neighborhood. The staff have always been friendly and accommodating. The food options and flavor profiles are much more vibrant than most any other place in Fort Wayne. read more

Every time I fly into Fort Wayne we stop at The Friendly Fox. The menu is simple and a smash hit every single time. Expertly made by passionate foodies! Amazing variety of coffee available from basic black to Vietnamese prepared and drips. This quaint coffee house is a must stop for my brunch. You will love this place as as "THE" restaurant for a low key comfortable gathering. read more

Great food and service a little small inside but great setting outside when warmer will be back soon

Such a fun little FRIENDLY place! The quiche is great... and so is the staff!!!

Came in for simple breakfast. Waitresses were really nice. I got myself a southwest breakfast wrap, it had a weird taste. After a couple of hours, I had a fever of 101F. So spend my whole weekend fighting food poisoning. This Fox was not so friendly to me! read more

While stopping in Fort Wayne for our wedding, our photographers recommended this adorable little breakfast place for an early morning shoot/caffeine fix. While coffee made it's way to all of the hands of our wedding party, a Garbage Plate made it into the hands of one of my brothers. While it's his usual diner go-to, he was honestly blown away by how amazing it was. We all tried a bit, and it was seriously some crazy good eats. A menu blurb: "Garbage plate $6.95 -- Biscuits, covered with egg, potato, green onion, tomato, cheddar cheese. bacon and all smothered with sausage gravy" It was fresh, not greasy, perfectly cooked and seasoned. Definitely not what you're expecting when you think of Diner food. The coffee was decent, but the attitude was not so much. We'll be back, that's for sure. To try out one of their recommended quiches, as well as to see if they fixed their attitude. I agree with Kyle Z. It should be called the "Not-so-friendly-Fox". I had ordered coffee, you know, without the side of sneering and attitude. read more

Great service, nice atmosphere and the food was delicious. Highly recommend for a weekend leisure lunch.

I went to the friendly fox twice and both times I had a positive experience. The first time I went for brunch and I loved my food and ice coffee! The second time I went for dinner and I enjoyed my food. I especially appreciated our waitress, I believer her name was Sophia. She was very attentive on us and she address that there was a party of 10 which meant that our food would be a little delayed. She apologize (even thought it wasn't her fault) and offered a free dessert for our wait. Whatever you guys are doing to train your staff, keep it up. I will definitely be coming here more often because I was so impressed. read more

I went for the first time today! This place is hidden in a neighborhood so it's secluded. But don't let it fool you! The restaurant is very cute and welcoming! The atmosphere is lovely and the menu selection's are wonderful. The restaurant is very rustic and paintings around it. They have everything from pastries to ice cream, it's great! This is my new go-to spot! read more

The Friendly Fox - I got the malt waffles and potatoes! Absolutely delicious! - Cafes Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Friendly fox is the only restaurant within walking distance from my job making it an obvious choice, however if it was on the other side of town I would still make the drive. You can't go wrong with any of their salads, sandwiches, or desserts. Also, the key lime pie is a must try. Even though the food and coffee is delicious (always try the monthly special) my absolute favorite thing about the Friendly Fox is their dog friendly patio! read more

I've been anxiously waiting for the right opportunity to visit this place. It's kinda out of the way for my family. Finally made it here last night and I can say the wait was worth it. The atmosphere was positive and you do feel the friendliness when you walk in. Our service was good (close to great). All the food we tried was excellent (Gorgonzola flatbread, goat cheese panini, and midnight Cuban). And there are still options on the menu that will bring us back. Now, I don't mean this as a negative, but more of a heads up; this place can get pricey for a family. They don't have any fountain drinks so you get dinged with every drink (shocked to see we spent $20 on drinks and none were alcoholic). But the price won't keep us from coming back; it will just limit how often we can splurge! This is a welcomed addition to The Fort. We just need more of them! read more

I had a garbage plate for breakfast and did not find anything,but English muffin(cuz they were out of biscuits) topped with gravy and roasted potatoes. My bf has Southwest wrap that was completely tasteless. It was my second time at this place and the last one. read more

The best little shop with sandwich, soups, salads, and more! I had a brisket grilled cheese sandwich and it was DIVINE!! The atmosphere was so darling and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a local lunch/dinner spot with great service and quality! read more

Seriously.... How did I not know about this? Great drinks. Great food. Great people behind the business. Keep this place on your radar. Check them out sometime. Coffee tea brunch read more

Amazing, delicious food & drinks! So glad we stopped in on route from Michigan to Brown County.

Used to come here on my bike when I was a kid and get a cookie and hot chocolate with my cousins, now it's a great place for the same thing with the nephew all these years later btw the hot chocolate is on point read more

This is a hole in the wall neighborhood restaurant with a super helpful staff and excellent food. We thoroughly enjoyed the salads and sandwiches that we ordered. All of the salad dressings are homemade. The maple rosemary vinaigrette may be the best dressing I've ever had. Desserts were excellent too. We had a couple of people that have allergy issues, and the wait staff went out of her way to call the owner to confirm ingredients in the pre-made homemade dressings. Highly recommend!! read more

Came across this gem by accident, but so glad that I did. The salted caramel latte and breakfast casserole were amazing. The staff was super friendly, the decor warm and inviting. I will definitely be visiting again! read more

Been frequenting the Fox for years-it's got great food, friendly help and a super-great atmosphere-many, many stars!
