Red Fox Steak House & Lounge

Local well known for it's specials at lunch and dinner, full service bar, very good prices for what you get, something for everyone no matter what walk of life, older establishment, still clean just not new and shiny, easy parking and easy access off I-80 when passing through Lincoln in in town visiting. I have dined here with customers on more than one occasion, always friendly staff and every item they have to offer is always prepared just the way you like it. Also Nebraska KENO now is available if you would like to gamble a little while waiting for your meal. Good casual small town feeling.

The place was alright. A step up from your typical pub.

I had the pork chop, which was ginormous, but very lacking in taste.

The price wasn't too bad, I just wasn't impressed by the food.

The front desk staff at my hotel in Lincoln, NE recommended I try the Red Fox for a burger and a beer. So, I thought I'd take him up on his suggestion. I walked in and was skeptical at first, as I saw that the place was pretty slow close to 10pm on a Thursday night. I sat up at the bar and got a menu. The burger selection was limited, but I figured I should try the Red Fox Specialty burger with a Boulevard beer.

The burger was alright, the bacon was the highlight and the mushrooms were definitely an added bonus. The beef and the bun didn't add anything special to the burger though. Oh, I did like that they offered cottage cheese as a side, I'll take that over fries any day!

The bar itself was actually nicer than I expected. They had a ton of TV's which made it a great spot to watch the game or get your score updates. Some booths even had their own TV's.

I was initially going to give this spot 3 stars, but after the kitchen closed and I asked for a spot for dessert, a patron recommended a nice spot to try. It showed me a few things. 1) Lincoln is actually bigger than I thought (it has a University apparently), 2) The locals are really nice and friendly and 3) along the lines of nice - they sent me to another venue without hesitation.

If I find myself in Lincoln again, I could see myself stopping back for a beer.
