The Fox Goes Free

Went for a closed event but very attentive service even though it was packed and there were various sides/appetizers; they were all good. Good Beer and wine.

Chill place. Not pretentious with exactly the right vibe. Hope to go back with friends soon.

Decent place. A little shabby but still a good time. Food was what you would expect pub fair to be. Overall I’ll definitely return.

Disappointing Experience at The Fox Goes Free I recently visited The Fox Goes Free, hoping for a pleasant evening, but was unfortunately met with a disappointing experience. The atmosphere might be cozy, but the service was far from it. The servers were unnecessarily rude and seemed completely uninterested in providing even basic hospitality. We felt unwelcome from the moment we walked in, and the negative attitude continued throughout our visit. It's a shame because the pub itself has potential, but the unprofessional behavior of the staff overshadowed any positives. I won't be returning anytime soon.

Great little hidden gem in Pickering, we had their famous wings and weren’t disappointed and the escargots delicious as well. The service was wonderful. We were here for lunch so not too busy yet. Will definitely be back.

I am surprised it has taken me so long to write a review of The Fox because it's practically a Sunday ritual to enjoy their $17.99 burger and pint special. I have never seen a better pub value than that. For an extra dollar or two, you can upgrade the special to any of their other burgers and I tend to oscillate between the Peppercorn Burger (swiss cheese and big onion ring) and the Montrealer (cheddar cheese, mushrooms, and BBQ sauce). I think I might change my burger choice to remain slightly mysterious and unpredictable to the attentive staff, especially Glenn the bartender who always drops by to say hello. If you like sports, screens are throughout the bar with a wall sized projector on the south side. The selection of beers should satisfy everyone. I'm an IPA person and I've got the choice of Goose Island or Mill Street. Or both :) While Sundays are surely my favourite day, there are specials throughout the week. Mondays trades the burger and pint special for a steak and pint at ten bucks more but it's a generous steak. Wednesdays are second to Sundays because it usually means a substantial fried chicken breast sandwich (please bring back the verision with crispy onions!) The Fox is the definition of a neighbourhood pub. Cozy and you always feel welcome. There is no shortage of pubs in the area but we always go back to the Fox. I say that with a big of sadness because in a few years, the commercial area will be torn down to make way for a large condo development. The Fox has a sister pub in Scarbourough called the Black Dog. Perhaps someday, it will become the new Sunday place.

The place is clean, there are lots of tvs, the waitresses are very kind, the food is good the wings are big and juicy! But every time i go I explain how I just want food and the service is just soo slow for food. 30 minutes of drink service before taking food Orders that took 40 min to come. It honestly feels like they just don’t care that i would like to order and eat because i need to go.
