The Golden Fox Rochester Reviews
Was an excellent choice... place for breakfast/brunch. Food was delicious. Perfect for me. Including grits. Certainly the best breakfast place I've had so far. I'm a foodie. Service/staff she was beautiful and amazing amicable service, kind and similar to home dining. Certainly...will return. ( Food so good)
What a cute spot! The building looks small but it’s actually so much bigger on the inside. The hostess Stephanie was a delight when I came into the restaurant with my friend. Our server Liz was extremely friendly and attentive. Really enjoyed my experience here, and I will be back! Food looked so good I forgot to take a picture before I ate it. It was delicious! Highly recommended! Stephanie and Liz are awesome!
Should you find yourself in Rochester NY and hungry for a delicious, hearty breakfast, make your way to The Golden Fox. I promise, you will not be disappointed! Eggs Benedict with the best hollandaise sauce (ever!) and they were served over cheesy bacon potato pancakes. The service was excellent, she even brought me a side of their country gravy to try. I will say the interior could use a little freshening up and modernizing, but it's still comfortable and enjoyable. Most parking is on the street.
- non pretentious breakfast spot - best in the city - lots of seating and can handle big groups - owner operated , family run - the decor is out of date but it works - they keep the place clean - I’ve order poached eggs a few times and they nail it about 80% of the time - super friendly staff - fair prices
I felt like the service was a little slow/relaxed but I wasn’t in a rush so the pace was great for me. Food came out also a little slow but everything came out together done perfectly and needing nothing extra. Pancakes were thin and delicious. Hash browns were crispy without being burnt. Would definitely go back. Prices were on par or lower than average.
Definitely not the old Golden Fox! Food was ok. We had like 5 different waitresses keep coming to our table after we said we're all SET!! Don't know if it was one of the new owners but a gentleman was in the back and just STARING!!! SCANNING the room. Gave me and my guest the creeps. The memory changed. It was empty at almost 10:30 on a Sunday am!! I was disappointed to say the least.
The food came fast. It was average. The waitresses were nice but not very attentive as far as coming back to see if you needed anything, unless it was coffee. My water glass stayed empty. I ordered soft cooked bacon, and it was stiff. I asked the waitress if I could get it softer. She said yes. Took the hard bacon and returned in seconds with another order of bacon. It was soft like I liked it, but not hot, not even warm. That was my experience.
I absolutely loved the variety of the menu, just because they have options I've never seen before, I had the fried fish breakfast plate and it was delicious. The service was fast, however the staff had a heavy workload. The servers were doing their best, but they looked tired and drained. The place looked outdated and kind of dusty. Tables weren't the best, the cushion of out booth was ripped and uncomfortable. Silverware was clean, cups were clean and there was no shortage of napkins like in other places. The atmosphere wasn't to my liking, I guess I'm used to quiet places. Don't be discouraged by my review and visit, like I mentioned before, items on the menu are very different and delicious. As for me I won't be returning for dining but will be ordering "to go" meals. Give it a try!
We have come here regularly for 5 years and it used to be great. The new owner has created an unpleasant atmosphere, he walked around refilling ketchups with a firearm clearly visible. At best, this is obviously very poor taste and a total misunderstanding of the clientele. He spoke poorly to us about his current and former staff, who all seemed inexperienced and on edge. They use a handheld POS to take your order which also harshes the cozy diner vibe. On top of that, the food isn’t as good and the prices have gone up. Bummer.
I have been coming here for a few years and the food has been great. However, they've recently changed their menu and the prices on the menu are ringing up differently than the machine they use for payment. For example, my breakfast item was $8.95 but on their printed receipt, it displays at $9.22 before taxes. My husband's food was $13.95 but on the printed receipt it was almost $2 difference. Not to mention, they also charge more of you're paying my credit card. Very disappointed in this and will not be coming back.
expensive disgusting food. kitchen was out of a bunch of stuff. they forgot to make half of our meals. terrible service. the soda was even gross. will never go back.
I use to love to eat here a couple of years ago but I certainly was disappointed this passed Monday 6/5/23. The waitress never took my order or my 89 year old mother. The waitresses were busy filling people’s coffee cups, conversing with others. One waitress was behind the counter eating her lunch and not once looked our way. I felt these waitresses were deliberately ignoring us, for whatever reason I do not know. Racists I believe. Well we will never ever go to The Golden Fox again. It’s a shame how things change for the worst. I’ll just go to Parkside Restaurant which the people are friendly and treat their customers like they would want to be treated. All my friends and family members will switch over to Parkside restaurant also. Your loss not ours. I’m posting a photo of the delicious breakfast my mom and granddaughter had at The Parkside Diner. 😤
