I like everything from the atmosphere to the service and food. Great people and great food make an excellent dining experience. My only comment is that the wait time from order to serve is a bit long, but good food takes time to prepare, so I understand that part. I cant really pick a favorite meal, because I like the variety of choices and have never had a meal I didn't like at Fox's and theyo have great daily specials!

Very clean! And food was great. Server suggested a nice dressing for my salad and brought me both the one I ordered and the one she thought would be great and she was right! Happy she suggested it. Spinach salad with hot bacon dressing was perfect for today and they added chicken but the French onion soup was even better!

Overall, Fox's is an amazing restaurant. The food is delicious and the workers are friendly. They usually only have one server working, so it can take a while for your order to be placed. It truly is a historic restaurant. It is filled with a lot of Lock Havens history. I would definitely recommend eating here!

My granddaughter and my good friend were returning home from an event in Centre Hall and passing through Lock Haven. I remembered that years ago that my mother and I used to eat at a place called Fox's Market house and wondered if it was still open. We used to really enjoy going there. And yes the restaurant is still there & was open! So we decided to stop. The decor & atmosphere is still as quaint as I remembered and the service is still friendly. And most importantly the food is still wonderful. There were a lot of delicious choices on the menu and we will need to visit again so that we can try them all.

Great breakfast. Incredible pancakes. Excellent all around! Our waitress was awesome. Food very hot and tasty! Scrapple cooked perfectly. Eggs perfectly over-easy. 10/10! And it's a cool building.

My order was made wrong, to be expected at any restaurant. Mistakes sometimes happen. But they replaced my door dash order although it’s not what that usually do. I really appreciate the customer service and kindness at the is restaurant! The grove street is my favorite and they have the best salads in town!

Great little restaurant in an old market house building that creates a great atmosphere. The waitress was very polite, food was on a really good time and very delicious!! By the way I took my wife there for her birthday breakfast so that's got to stand for something!!

Stopped here for family breakfast and thoroughly enjoyed it! We were seated quickly, got our drinks, and once we ordered, were served in a good amount of time. It was hard to choose, but I ordered the Eggs Benedict, which was very flavorful and delicious. The home fries that came with it were surprisingly crispy, which I loved. We also tried their large stack of pancakes, which is three enormous pancakes served with whipped butter on top. The crispy edges on the pancakes were 10/10. We all enjoyed the food and can’t wait to come back again!
