Go for the nostalgia and martinis but not for the steaks. Absolutely too expensive for a steak that I could’ve made better at home. The quality of meat just wasn’t good. The house salad is drab with just lettuce, croutons, and 1 cherry tomato. The salad dressings are good. Live music is good. Such a shame the food is not.

I finally tried Red Fox Steakhouse. I went last night for my birthday. We live right behind it, so I thought it was the perfect option. It's nice and dim inside. Your eyes adjust. The server was awesome, I didn't catch her name, though. The garlic bread and ceaser salad we started with was very tasty. I ordered steak and lobster. I got the sirloin, but you can opt for a different cut for an added charge, I believe. The steak was good, but I especially loved the lobster tail. I think I'll choose something other than the rice pilaf next time. But that lobster!! Good size, lots of tender meat. It's really well seasoned. My husband had the hamburger and fries. Hamburger was good. We loved the fries. My husband also had an Old Fashioned from the bar that he claims to be one of the better ones he has tasted. The live band sang me a song and I got a free Happy Birthday cupcake. All together we had a great time and will definitely be returning.

The service is excellent. The staff are great. They don't take reservations, but we were seated quickly after 7p mid-week. The food is good, but not exceptional. Their seasonal mock-tails and cocktails are really well executed. The decor is very cozy and the seating is comfortable. The fireplace adds a nice aesthetic. The live music was nice, but a bit too loud.

We live in the area and finally made it to Red Fox Room. I got the steak and lobster and my husband got Atlantic Cod and lobster. We both enjoyed our meal, drinks and the service was awesome. You can’t beat the prices either. We will be back.

Everything about The Red Fox was wonderful! The outside is quite unassuming, but inside, this place is warm and cozy and a great place on a cold night. The food and service were first class. We were celebrating a birthday and Danee, our server, made the whole experience very special. The calamari appetizer was one of the best calamari dishes I've ever had - and I've been a big calamari lover my entire life. We both ordered the steak and lobster tail and were not disappointed. We will definitely be back.

This may be a new location but it has an old classic feel to it. This place definitely caters to an older crowd. It had an antique feel With stained wood, low lights, And even had a live music from a piano and a saxophone players. They did request and even allowed karaoke like sing alongs. The staff was friendly and helpful. For the food I ordered the steak and lobster. I got the baked potato as a side and it came with a side salad and garlic bread. The dinner salad was with a good choice of house made dressing but I was disappointed with the what I'm guessing were the house made croutons. They had good flavor but many were soft and no crunch. The steak and lobster can I tried the steak which I believe it was supposed to be the porterhouse steak which I asked for rare but was closer to medium. The taste had a good flame flavor but felt lacking in salt and pepper seasoning so I resorted to asking for A1( I always taste a Steak with a couple bites before considering steak sauce as a good steak carries itself.) The lobster was good. The baked potato was soft though I prefer a slightly more crispy skin. The chocolate Mousse Pie was good. I finished with a Chocolate Martini a little smaller then I'm use to but it was stronger than I anticipated. I liked it but it kinda felt like if Sizzler was more upscale and a nicer atmosphere.

First time in the new location. They still kept it dark inside. Only one sever for the whole place at lunch. Food was good I ordered the Pork Chop plate and did not disappoint. It was very good. They only half a piece of bread which is delicious but definitely a teaser.

It was a bit dark inside and took awhile for my eyes to adjust to the candlelight vibe. The wait staff are extremely attentive and really make you feel at home. I grabbed a nice steak and salad with a delicious mock tail before heading to work late. Great service and tasty/healthy food are always welcomed finds while traveling for work!
