Very friendly quick service. Â Stopped in for lunch, opted for the special, Marinated Turkey sandwich on Brown Bread. Â The sandwich was ok, I asked for hot which got me slightly overcooked bread and warm to cool turkey. Â Flavor was OK but probably would not order again. Â The surprise was the fries, fresh cut, crispy, hot, and very tasty.
Review Source:I've been to the Fox Hole a few times since my original review, so I figured it's time for an update.
It's still a solid 3-star joint. The wings are GREAT! The buffalo chicken sandwich is NOT great. It doesn't have nearly enough sauce and is overcooked to the point of being difficult to chew/eat.
The fries are really good, as are the onion rings. I've also tried the Idaho nachos (nachos with potato slices, instead of tortilla chips). They're close, but no cigar, to being very good. First off, the order is HUGE! There must be 4-5 whole potatoes sliced up in there. I personally like nachos with the fake cheese sauce they use here, although some people hate that kind of thing. They have plenty of jalapenos and come with sides of salsa, sour cream and guac. The problem with the "nachos" is the thickness of the potato slices. They're super thick, which makes them have the consistency of a baked potato, rather than a chip. If they were slice more thinly and cooked to a crisp, they'd have a sure-fire winner.
I really like the decor and ambiance of this place and they have a TON of TV's, so they're sure to have your preferred game on one them.
It used to be so good.. and then they started messing with stuff.
The farm burger was amazing until they changed it. Now it's the most expensive burger I've ever found. Even more expensive than a buffalo burger at a steakhouse. That's ridiculous.
Additionally, their servers are ridiculous. 4 of the last 5 times I've gone in there, I've ordered a farm burger and been served a fox burger. This isn't really a noisy bar, and those two words don't sound alike, so I have no idea why it keeps happening. The fox burger is about the most mediocre burger I've ever eaten in my life. And in spite of screwing it up 4 times, they've never once comped my food or done anything else to make it right.
I can't say I'll never go back, but I can say it'll be a long time before I forget why I don't eat there regularly. My previous good impression is probably enough to convince me to try it once a year or so, but the consistent bad service will keep me from making the mistake any more frequently than that.
I came to check this place out the night of the Utes/USC game. Â I had come across the location before when previously looking for choice Burgers in the area. Â I don't recall the name of the burger I ordered but I will say the burger was not excellent. Â The price of the burger was premium and I felt sad paying $8+ for a burger so uninspired. Â I will say that I visited after 9pm, so maybe the person who makes the other burgers wasn't in that evening.
Now to comment on the service, I got a nice big welcome greeting when I entered and each person that took care of us that night was very attentive and very pleasant.
I may try this place for a burger again if I get the feeling that an afternoon attempt may yield a better result.
In closing I will say that the location surprised me with it's high ceilings and open layout once I entered. Â From the outside you might think it has low ceilings and you would feel cramped. Â Not the case, the feeling on the inside feels like a Wingnuts if I had to provide a comparison. Â Maybe not as much floor space but the ceilings is what i'm talking about.
Enjoy Yelpers!
There's something that feels sinfully delightful about eating in a bar during a work lunch. Maybe it's the beer taps calling your name or the neon lights in the window saying "no kids! This ain't Chili's!" Â Whatever the appeal, the Fox Hole rewards your darker side with food that is less bar-like and more on the side of a good sammich shop.
The Cubano was a good blend of pulled pork, cheese, and a secret sauce. (probably not a secret, I just don't know what it was.). It was a tad dry and I should have ordered a side of the sauce. I opted for the fresh cut fries and was rewarded with the potato goodness with just enough of a tan and grease flavor to let you know they truly aren't the genetically engineered products you get from the Clown or the King.
I also ordered Doc's Balls which turned out to be Scotch eggs. I've never had them before and was intrigued by the combination of an egg coated in sausage and fried. I wish the sausage would have been more flavorful but the addition of salt and the mustard sauce it was served with made them good.
Carol, the daytime bartender was extremely friendly and offered to turn on televisions, change stations, or what ever we needed. Good service worth acknowledging.
This is a good lunch spot that is off the beaten path and rewards the travel with good food, a nice atmosphere, and a bar setting that isn't dark and dingy.
This is a fun little neighborhood bar. Â Today was my first visit to this hidden "clubhouse". Â It is only about one mile from my house but when I walked in I felt like I must be out of town - great, cheap beer on tap, friendly service and crowd, and daylight out the large ground level windows. Â Since when did we allow bars out of the basement? Â Great food. Â
This is a cozy and enjoyable local spot just like in normal neighborhoods outside of Utah. Â All those other favorable reviews are absolutely true - this place is great.
Wow. What a hidden gem located in a strip mall in West Jordan. Excellent service, excellent food, cheap cold beer. I have no complaints.
Three of us went in for lunch on a Saturday. I had the garlic burger, my friends had the foxhole burger and the french dip. I tasted all 3 and all of them were top notch. The sweet potato fries were amazing and the onion rings were really good. I like the fry sauce because it had a kick to it. The Au-ju and horsh radish were note worth. Not overly salty and not cheap junk.
The garlic burger was one of the best burgers I've had at any place, and probably the best burger I've had in Utah. Juicy and flavorful. The bun was fresh and had good texture. The toppings were all fresh and good.
We all had a nice tall mug of ice cold beer that was priced correctly. Another big positive is no minors allowed. Finally a place I can go and get a good meal, cold beer, and not have the experience ruined by other people's hell spawn acting up in a public place.
Well, well, well...who'da thunk this unassuming little sports bar tucked away in a nearly invisible strip mall would be serving up such an outstanding garlic burger?!
I did, actually. We had family in from out of town, and we were looking for a place closeby for a laid back meal and maybe a drinkie or two. I'm so glad I took the sage advice of Matt W. to come here and try the Stinky Nephi Burger. I had mine with Sweet Potato Fries and an almost-frosty draft Squatter's Hef with oranges.
The whole thing was enjoyable, especially the burger. It's as they say it is; a garlic burger rivaling more famous versions in the Cottonwood'ish area. The bun is somewhat firm and very tasty, but fell apart on the bottom from the juice of this creation. Fresh sheets of green leaf lettuce, beefy tomato slices, and pepper jack cheese melted around the patty all assist with the impressive flavor going on with the burger. Dressed appropriately with a tasty garlic sauce, this was a solid handful of garlic bomb deliciousness. We all ordered it, and we all absolutely loved it.
The sweet potato fries were really good, but not the best I've had. Nice texture, not too mushy. In fact, a few of the fries weren't quite cooked completely through. The spices used could have been kicked up a bit for me. They were slightly bland. Good fry sauce which helped the lack of zest in the fries.
Although I prefer mine frostier, the beers were really good - especially at $3.25 for a pint of Squatter's. Hubby enjoyed the Shock Top at the same price. Domestic drafts are only $2.50. Wow. I love saving money on delicious adult beverages!
The service at Fox Hole was all smiles, and fairly quick. Tiff took great care of our party of four, making sure we had what we needed, and answering all of our questions. She was delightful.
They have beer and food specials on chalkboards right inside the front door so you won't miss them. There are pool tables and plenty of TVs around the large room housing the entire public area. It's not a big place, but a small party could have a good time here. The sports mood is set by several team flags and marquees hanging on the walls, with mixed memorabilia throughout. It's not terribly tastefully done, but it's a bar. Sort of. They only serve beer, and I think a few wine selections, but no full bar.
One complaint - the chairs are very uncomfortable. They're actually typical bar chairs, but really hard to relax in at all. I found myself yearning for something softer and more supportive. If I were interested in watching the game, I concluded that I'd head home for comfort reasons. After scarfing down a delicious garlic burger, of course...
Overall, a really nice chill meal, cheap drinks, and friendly people!
I found the Fox Hole completely my accident while driving around during my lunch break from work. Â I ordered "The Stinky Nephi", a great name for one of the most unique and flavorful burgers I have ever stuffed in my face.
This garlic burger absolutely puts to shame any other garlic burger in the valley, including the one served under the bunny sign. Â This thing positively reeked of garlic, and I mean that in a good way. Â The patty was large and very juicy, with cooked onion and jalepeno mixed right into the meat. Â It wore the cheddar cheese I ordered llike a freakin' hockey mask. Â It melted and smothered the whole patty. Â With lettuce, tomato, ketchup and mustard, and a delightful buttered bun, this burger was a true winner. Â But be warned, The Stinky Nephi actually does stink. Â Of garlic, that is. Â The only thing that would have made it better would have been a cold draft beer, and there are plenty of options at the Fox Hole. Â But since I had to go back to work, I settled for iced tea.
The fries were very interesting as well. Â There were thick ones, thin ones, long ones, and short ones all in the same order. Â But each was cooked brown and crispy and tasted great. Â Their fry sauce is housemade and was quite good as well.
The young waitress was sweet and called me "Hon". Â Her extremely short shorts and white high heels made her all the more appealing. Â Nice legs there, sweetheart.
The Fox Hole looks like it would be a really fun bar at night. Â Pool tables, TVs, games. Â Hot Legs assured me I would be pleased with their buffalo chicken wings. Â I will definately be back to sample the wings, and more of their menu of other pub standards.
I had zero expectations going in.
We have seen the place a few times and wondered about it while we were out and about. I noticed on one trip to Harbor Freight (next door) that it was open late.
Open late, (angels singing), these are my favorite words. Often we're up late, and when we want to snag dinner most places are winding down for the night. That's life in the Utah suburbs for you. But, this place is open until 1am.
This was a trip to have a beer and a bite, not necessarily a meal, and we figured we'd give it a shot. Not the best looking place, but the bartenders were sweet and attentive. It was fairly busy for a Sunday night, but at 10pm there's not many places to hang out.
Our drinks arrived right away, the beer is priced well and they have a nice selection on tap. We ordered, and watched a game and the patrons. Within a few moments our food came out, and we were grateful. He ordered a Stinky Nephi burger, and enjoyed the burger stuffed with garlic and jalopeno. Fries were pretty good, crispy and served with fry sauce. I had a basic cheese quesadilla, nothing great, but it was a nice size serving.
We'll be back another late night for a snack or some burgers and beer. They have a couple interesting sandwiches that would be great after a night out.
**I give it extra credit for having a Buffalo Bills flag, it reminded me of one of the dives back in that neck of the woods.
