Fox is basically a Sports Bar, but the food flies well above that category. Generous portions, really good pricing, much better quality ingredients. I'm no sports fan, but this is one of my favorite neighborhood places to eat. The $24 steak special was not the best steak I've ever had, but it sure was in the running for best $24 steak since 1988. Special gem: The Power Bowl is something your vegan friends might like (if you have vegan friends), quinoa, red pepper, chick peas, avocado. But, they'll add steak or shrimp for a couple bucks. I eat a veg bowl that should make my cardiologist happy, and 8 (or so) ounces of beautiful, medium rare steak on top. It's amazing.

This place is really good, we ordered steak sandwich, chicken buffalo wrap, truffle fries, beers and sangria, everything was really delicious except the red sangria. I highly recommend here to spend fun time with your friends and family to have a good meal and drink.

A spur of the moment decision led us to this restaurant, which led to an enjoyable brunch. There was a great mix of people enjoying the overall chill feeling of the pub. Bc The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The cleanest washroom I have ever seen - they set the gold standard. Food was delicious - some of the best home fries I have ever tried. Highly recommend this for a weekend brunch.

The vibe and high quality staff (especially Shelby and Sean, we love you guys!) that always makes it a memorable visit. This is not standard pub fare! If you want a perfect steak or salad with salmon and shrimp you’ve picked the best place in town. If you are in the area it's absolutely worth stopping by. Highly recommended!

It was my first time going here. The patio is really nice and spacious. There was no line or wait time. Our food came in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the fish tacos and a mojito. Prices are average. Our waitress Selin was not only gorgeous but has such an amazing personality. She really added to the ambience and her customer service was fabulous! I'd go back here again and hopefully Selin is working!

Came here a couple times for dinner and the food is pretty good for a pub. The calamari is a great appetizer, generous portion, and quite tasty. I got the energy bowl this time and added shrimp, and that came in a pretty big portion where I had half for dinner and half for lunch the next day. I had the grapefruit Radler which was also quite tasty. We also tried the onion soup which is good, I would recommend. Recommend this place for a quick bite, the food And drinks are quite reasonably priced and the portions are quite big. If you were into sports, this is a great sports bar as well as I have a lot of televisions playing different games. Atmosphere was cool and not too loud. Highly recommend.

Fox is by far our most favourite pub in Bloor West Village. We ve been going there at least once a week for the last 2 years. The reason is much better than average pub food and very friendly personnel. We know every server there by name. Every time we go there Sam, the hostess, greets us with a genuine smile on her face and gives us a hug. She has such an unbelievably radiant and warm personality that we would go back there over and over again just to see her smile. Last Wednesday we were absolutely delighted to see her in a new role as a waitress for the first time ever and she was serving us .. We are very happy that the management gave her that chance because with this kind of enchanting personality and exceptionally warm approach to customers she will become an absolutely awesome waitress!

I wanted to watch football match between Spain and England. So I came to this place to make a reservation for Sunday at 3 pm. I provided with all necessary information, the hostess told me to call them on Sunday an hour before my reservation to make sure that theyd save one table for us. I did as they asked next day, but the lady on the phone told me they dont have any space, even though I made a reservation... so disappointed in this poor service.

I recently visited Fox and John s with my boys on a Saturday night, and I must say, our experience was truly exceptional, thanks to Jessica. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and made us feel right at home. Jessica s attentiveness and friendly demeanor stood out immediately. Despite the bustling atmosphere, she never missed a beat, ensuring our every need was met promptly and with genuine care. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive; she patiently answered all our questions and made excellent recommendations that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. What impressed me most was Jessica s ability to connect with my boys. She engaged them in conversation, made them laugh, and even offered a few fun tips about the dishes they were curious about. This personal touch transformed our dining experience into something memorable and delightful. Jessica s efficiency and professionalism, combined with her warm personality, made our night out at Fox and John s truly special. It s rare to find such outstanding service, and she certainly deserves high praise. We look forward to returning soon, knowing we ll be in excellent hands. Thank you, Jessica, for making our evening wonderful!

The Fox and John is a great pub with usually good food and service. Tonight though I was extremely disappointed by the chicken curry. I have never tasted such a poor quality curry flavour with little to no chicken with only potatoes and tomatoes. This is a simple dish that was horribly ruined.

Want to post a glowing review for Fox & John s, as they really went above and beyond for us recently. We had ordered dinner from them through a delivery service and the driver forgot soups that we d ordered - a family member has a medical issue and is unable to tolerate solid food and then had no dinner. The delivery service reimbursed us, however, the restaurant made fresh soups and brought them to us, free of charge. Am amazed and uplifted that they were so generous and kind. Plus their food is delicious!! Thank you so much Fox & John s.

Ordered fish and chips through UberEats. Requested tartar sauce be substituted with malt vinegar packets. The malt vinegar I received was in an unsealed container and contained dead flies and what appeared to be mold. Due to the vinegar being dark, I didnt notice until I had nearly emptied the container onto my meal, ruining all of it. I wont be eating from here again.

My very first experience at Fox and Johns wasnt a positive one. I left an honest review leading to the manager inviting me back to give Fox and Johns another try. My second visit was worthy of five stars (just taking one star off since the first visit did happen). Foss is an amazing waitress! She really went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfect. The food is of pretty high quality for pub food standards, and the owner told me the pub is a family-owned business. If you want to support a family business with good food and a great atmosphere, go here and make sure Foss is your waitress!!!! Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten-free burger buns and make changes to your food if necessary.

My wife organized a dinner event with an old dear couple of ours. We felt right at home. GREAT TIME. I had the THAI COCONUT RED CURRY BOWL with bonus grilled chicken. I am a fan of all things curry, but this experience was magnificent. I wish to describe it as thoughtful. Not too much and not too little. Will HAVE TO GO BACK SOON for more curry. I might have to try FOX & JOHNS CHICKEN CURRY, but I will have my consultants assist me with that kind of decision making. Curry tends to leave me quite speechless. I felt I kept up with the conversation. Historically, I become non-verbal after taking down a curry. One kitchen staff member could see I was savouring the experience. All the other plates were long and gone. I was 94.6% finished. This good man knew what was going on. We barely needed to share eye contact. Gordon wasnt done yet. The good man let me finish unabated. This man and I had a great debrief afterwards when we were departing. I plugged in a huge tip percentage. All in all, the bill was still very reasonable. Adorable restaurant.

As a professional DJ & Event organizer, have been to many venues over the years. I decided to have a Birthday Party catered to over 30 + people which Fox and John and its staff went ABOVE and beyond to serve our guests at this location. The staff, management, and venue was absolutely exceptional to serve our needs for this luxurious occasion. Special shoutouts to Pira and especially Jessica for carrying the night on her shoulder! Jessica especially continued to show so much support throughout the night to keep such a large crowd happy and upbeat. I would absolutely recommend anyone to consider this location for any kind of special treatment & for amazing food and drinks!! Thank you !!

Called about a week ago to book a reservation for the Super Bowl, the hostess on the phone said everything was good. We showed up and they did not have our table written down, and they also made it out to be my fault, and made me prove that I did have a reservation, which I did.

Had the pleasure of visiting fox & johns last Friday night, after a few recommendations, first time visiting the place yes the music was alittle on the loud side but then again so was the street and I get that it s the Toronto vibe being a vibrant city. Anyhow the food was simply amazing and the stag was extra courteous, our server Jessica was an absolute charm, she gave me and my wife an insight into the city about were the vibrant areas are and gave us a warm welcome to the place, the place had a fun atmosphere, the food was absolutely fantastic, it was a busy night and we were surprised how fast the service was, the drinks were amazing as per my wife I just like my rye and that s failsafe hahah, but what really set the place apart was the staff, everyone was welcoming and extra helpful but Jessica s service level was above par, extra courteous, always kept an eye as she was passing by to see if we needed anything and extra helpful for anything we asked for. So thank you Jessica and Fox &Johns, your team surely made our night memorable and the service was phenomenal. I m not one to comment reviews and am recently a new reviewer and I guess this is the new social norm so this place surely deserves the credit and we will definitely be coming back. Reason for me posting is because we just visited a different restaurant tonight and just had a really awful experience and I don t like posting negative reviews but only give credit where credit is deserved and Fox & Johns team definitely deserves the credit and just made us think about going back to Fox & Johns again.

come, yul, bought 2 beers for 20 dollars, sat and waited for 40 minutes until the girl came up with an order, but some kind of whispering, and she didn t want to come, it s clear that they don t have a good relationship with Ukrainians, then the bartender came out, looked and left, and I sat for another 10 minutes waiting to place an order, honestly I ll tell you, I ve never seen such garbage anywhere else that the service staff would ignore the person who pays for their work. Sorry, maybe some waitress didn t like me, but I don t live with her what she likes, she works for herself, earning money in this way, but ignoring what I called, and she simply walked past, is already too much . I believe that such employees need to be fired if they treat people who come to them to eat and even for money

December 22, 2023

A friend and I had a couple of burgers and a beer here yesterday, and it was a terrible experience overall. We were told all the seats on the patio were reserved, but they had some in the window. That was fine. It took some time for someone to take a drink order, and more time to get it. Whatever, they re busy, so ok. A waitress finally showed up to take our food order. I didn t time it, but our 2 burgers felt like a half hour. I started to notice people leaving with takeout. How long did they wait? I also noticed that only 25% of the patio was occupied. The fact is there weren t that many people there, and most we re watching sports with a drink. They gave us a free beer when the plates finally arrived, which was the least they could do. The fact is this place is staffed by children, who don t have a clue about restaurant service. It s a pub, so I don t expect fine dining, but when you can t get their attention because all the 20 something staff are chatting amongst themselves, it s a problem. It s too bad, because it s a nice neighbourhood spot with a patio. Conclusion: don t bother going. Or go for a drink, and don t be in a hurry.

Not bad, but we got charged a 22% tip on our bill automatically, and werent told. Another couple we had drinks with didnt notice, and added a 20% tip on top of the automatic one.

Burger was overcooked, soggy and bland. Bun was mushy. Server left my food at my seat and I never saw them again, until I flagged them down (pub was essentially empty) to ask for the side of gravy I had ordered. Forget about asking for hot sauce or something. You get your plate and see ya not ever. Food was COLD. I felt that I didnt matter to staff, despite my $32 bill. Just, heres what you get. Pay me. And why is it OK for a person at the bar yelling away with the f-word being every second word that came out of his mouth. This is 6 pm. Dinner. Id be ashamed to bring my family here. Ill not go back.

Had dinner last night with a friend from Orlando. Jessica our server went out of her way to welcome her to Toronto and provided great service. Food was fine. Your typical pub fare. Great local in my area

If you are Latino you are not going to feel comfortable in this place at all. Since we arrived the hostess was super rude, she placed us at the most isolated table and never spoke to us, from that moment on we limited ourselves to only ordering drinks to leave early. Not even a minute passed when the waitress arrived and asked us what we wanted, we told her about the drinks and in the most curt manner she took away our menus (we observed the treatment of the other customers to make sure that what we were feeling was not wrong. that moment and nothing to do with the treatment they were giving us and the other clients, with the other clients if they interacted in a friendly manner). When we finished our drinks we asked for the bill to which the girl immediately gave us the total, when we handed her the cash she told us do you need the change? Because its going to be complicated obviously we asked for our change (context, the bill was $12 dollars and we gave her $20 dollars, I mean the girl wanted to collect the $8 dollars mamon!). When he comes back to give us our change he tells us, we only had $5 dollars, is that useful? So in short, they make you feel uncomfortable for being Latina and they also charge the tip as if the service had been correct, honestly we were going to leave them 10% for the service they gave us, be careful, if we were going to tip them because Whenever I go to a restaurant I take the tip into account but you also rate how much you want to leave and generally I leave 20% for good service. Anyway, not recommended at all, to leave money better somewhere else where they make us feel comfortable, we all deserve respect, we are already in the year 2023, racism is absurd.

This is not our first time eating here and each time we have been lucky enough to be served by Jessica! She is engaging, fast, accurate and an absolute pleasure to deal with. We are a big group of 20, all with separate bills, and the pub is usually quite busy, but Jessica still serves with great energy and a positive attitude. Amazing service seems to be rare these days, but she gets it! The food is fairly standard pub fare, but served hot, fresh and with a smile. Fish tacos and buffalo chicken poutine are great choices. Manager is always very gracious about taking a late night, last minute, large party reservation. We will be back often and will always request Jessica as our server.

edit: has really dropped in quality since my last visit. It seems due to staff turnover. After being seated, I waited 20 minutes for a server before finally giving up & going somewhere else.

The food and the atomsphere are pretty good other than the female server over there screamed at us for higher tip. We already paid her some tip but she was asking for 25% while the service was awful. She was so rude and told us to drink less beer next time and put the money for the tip.

This has always, in the past, been a go to spot in the neighbourhood I love. I am aware that one blip does not discount the food consistency and convivial atmosphere, but, having to wait twenty minutes before even being acknowledged, I believe, is noteworthy. Had it not been for Jennifer and her exceptional service...finally...I would have left. I know that despite being busy, Christina would never have allowed this to happen.

Been coming here for years in a variety of capacities (with family, small kids, with buddies) and the service and food here are always top notch! The wings are especially perfect, and you cant ask for a better sports bar across the board! Lately, some fellow dads and I have been coming Monday nights to watch football - and Sean, Jessica and the rest of the staff never cease to amaze with all the little things they do to make our experience memorable.

Good food. Nicely run family restaurant. But have to take two points off for the server. Our server was literally hovering over us during the payment. Plus, she brought us a faulty machine , took it back after it didn t detect my card. Then proceeded to just enter the same tip amount as before - not giving us a second chance to reduce it since the paying process is so unpleasant. Unfortunately, I m definitely not going to return ever again.

I have ordered their chocolate cake before and it was a fine size. I don t know what happened this time but I got half a piece, thus cost me 15 dollars. Unreal. Gift card for scale, you can see both height and width of this thing are about the size of the card. Ridiculously tiny. More expensive because of inflation and smaller than ever. Do better.
