We have been eating at Foxy Fish since right after it opened this past Spring. Â First of all, what a nice re-do of the interior of this old building! Â As the months have passed, the management has added things on the wall to help with keeping noise levels down and add to the feel of it being a seafood restaurant. Â The menu caters to seafood lovers, but there are several meals on their for those who don't like to eat anything but beef or chicken. Â Prices are very reasonable. Â In my opinion, the best meals on the menu are steamed shrimp, broiled crab cake, hushpuppies, cream of crab soup and the best surprise is the shrimp scampi!
Service has always been great! Â Rest rooms are clean. Â I would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Â We have taken friends there who live in NVa and they loved the food. Â Take some time to enjoy the food and the friendly servers/management. Â In my opinion, if that is what a SOMD restaurant is like, I'll take it any day!
Whiting was suppose to be the "Catch of the Day" and we ordered it. I have eaten whiting for 50 years. I've never had a Whiting before that was this oily or fishy tasting. It tasted more like Blue Fish. Also had a dark streak running down it. I am not Marine biologist but neither am I naive. Would a SOMD fish place do a switcheroo? Â Either another fish or old fish which is also a no-no. My taste buds says another fish. Order something you can clearly ID, like shrimp.
The place is not fancy but neat & clean inside. Our server, Jennifer, was very pleasant. Beer prices very reasonable.Two fish sandwich meal were $25 with 2 beers. You can play Keno here. The place was quiet but we ate after lunch & before dinner hours.
I won't go back even though I like supporting local businesses.
This place is typical SOMD which is both a compliment and not. Like most places down here the waitresses are friendly but have not been trained in what good service means. For example if a patron has a fork on an appetizer plate covered in used napkins don't ask him to dig it out. Take the plate away and just get a new fork. The food is also typical for the area, well fried but overbreaded, slow to the table, but fresh. Bathroom cleanliness was on the poor side. For a five pm dinner I would expect the bathroom to have been cleaned before dinner service.
