The Fox Goes Free - Pickering, Ontario

Great little hidden gem in Pickering, we had their famous wings and weren’t disappointed and the escargots delicious as well. The service was wonderful. We were here for lunch so not too busy yet. Will definitely be back.

Poped in a Saturday evening and the place was hopping. Had to sit at the bar but the service was great. All the pub food and atmosphere you expect from an authentic public house. Definitely will be heading back.

I am surprised it has taken me so long to write a review of The Fox because it's practically a Sunday ritual to enjoy their $17.99 burger and pint special. I have never seen a better pub value than that. For an extra dollar or two, you can upgrade the ... special to any of their other burgers and I tend to oscillate between the Peppercorn Burger (swiss cheese and big onion ring) and the Montrealer (cheddar cheese, mushrooms, and BBQ sauce). I think I might change my burger choice to remain slightly mysterious and unpredictable to the attentive staff, especially Glenn the bartender who always drops by to say hello. If you like sports, screens are throughout the bar with a wall sized projector on the south side. The selection of beers should satisfy everyone. I'm an IPA person and I've got the choice of Goose Island or Mill Street. Or both :) While Sundays are surely my favourite day, there are specials throughout the week. Mondays trades the burger and pint special for a steak and pint at ten bucks more but it's a generous steak. Wednesdays are second to Sundays because it usually means a substantial fried chicken breast sandwich (please bring back the verision with crispy onions!) The Fox is the definition of a neighbourhood pub. Cozy and you always feel welcome. There is no shortage of pubs in the area but we always go back to the Fox. I say that with a big of sadness because in a few years, the commercial area will be torn down to make way for a large condo development. The Fox has a sister pub in Scarbourough called the Black Dog. Perhaps someday, it will become the new Sunday place. Read more

Classic & proper pub. Went here on St. Patty's day (2023) and could not have had a better time. While the location may be small compared to some other places, it adds to it's charm. Good selection of beers on tap with outstanding service and great food. Perfect place to ... pop in for a pint and some wings. Read more

The place is clean, there are lots of tvs, the waitresses are very kind, the food is good the wings are big and juicy! But every time i go I explain how I just want food and the service is just soo slow for food. 30 minutes of drink service before ... taking food Orders that took 40 min to come. It honestly feels like they just don’t care that i would like to order and eat because i need to go. Read more
