This was an impromptu date night. After arriving I realized this was not the place I read the reviews for but because it smelled so good outside, we were willing to give it a try. My initial impression was it seemed a little smoky and hoped it wasn’t one of those places that allows people to smoke. I quickly realized it was good smoke and not cigarettes.
Once seated we were greeted by an amazing staff person Ben. Ben’s description of the food was top notch. We struggled to make menu decisions because he made everything sound so delicious.
We chose the succulent crab cakes for starters. The remoulade and greens on the plate definitely set them off. They were very hardy compared to other crab cakes I’ve had. The two could definitely be an entree. I had the lamb strip because Ben stated it was a “steak lovers lamb” and I am also a steak lover. The char on the lamb was over the top! If I were to give a critique I would say scale back the sauce so the lamb itself can shine. I also ordered the delicious caesar salad the crumbled croutons were the highlight over big chunks of bread in my salad, and the mashed potatoes with the steak butter added and the steak mushrooms on the side. I tried the El Diablo drink which was good but a little too sweet for my taste.
My guy ordered the ribeye steak which he said had a great char with the spices. He had fries with it which were fresh and crispy.
Right as our meal got good a storm came through and since we were seated in the back covered patio area, Ben and another staff person let us know they wanted to move us to keep us from getting wet. The area were were sitting leaks when it rains. Ben told us it was the struggle of a 100 year old building.
We swiftly moved and appreciated their concern for our dining experience. The room unfortunately leaked a lot which is the only reason I didn’t give this review 5 stars. Although the leaks weren’t their fault, it did dim the experience a bit. However, Ben brought us a cookie al a mode dessert as a consolation gift and I appreciated the gesture.
Ben was not the typical server, he was inviting, humorous, he can definitely read the room. I watched him juggle several tables and treated each group as if they were VIP. His attentive service and knowledge of the menu mad ethe experience so much better. I definitely suggest asking for him if you go visit.

A twenty minute drive, and well worth it!
The bone marrow fries are a “must”. It is a huge serving, enough for 4 people to share, and SOOOOO good!!
I had fish tacos, which were excellent, and fresh, not frozen. My friend had the beef Manhattan which could have fed two lumberjacks! She took half home, and was happy about getting to have it for another meal. Service was good…plenty attentive without being intrusive.
This is really a treat of a restaurant. We will definitely be going back.

Highly recommend, this place never disappoints. Super friendly staff, great food, and amazing atmosphere. I’ve been in for lunch, I’ve been in for dinner, had the best time every time. Full bar, date night, hangout with friends and watch a game or fight. I recommend Bone Marrow Fries as a starter, this spot is as addicting as these fries.

Delightful Dining at foxGardin Kitchen & Ale
foxGardin Kitchen & Ale served up some seriously delicious food – our table was thoroughly impressed! The menu’s diverse offerings had something for everyone, and the flavors were consistently on point.
Highlights:
– Exceptional Food: Tasty dishes across the board, with standout flavors and quality ingredients
– Amazing Service: Melanie, our server, made our anniversary truly special with her attentive and warm service
– Atmosphere: A cozy, inviting ambiance perfect for a night out
Constructive Feedback:
– Bone Marrow Fries: Currently feature a balsamic vinegar-soused coating that overpowers the bone marrow flavor. Previous recipe fans (like me) miss the original taste. A suggestion: offer a choice at ordering – balsamic vinegar topping or a more neutral option – to please both camps.
Recommendation: A great spot for a meal out, especially with attentive servers like Melanie enhancing the experience. If you’re a fan of their bone marrow fries as they used to be, you might be hoping for a recipe tweak or customization option soon!

Our first time, it was great. App of goat cheese and toast points was delicious. French onion soup was superb. Foxy Chicken bites were delicious. Hubs had steak nachos special and he LOVED them. Cute place, great service. I want to go back to enjoy the speak easy bar over the restaurant.

Tammy is exceptional. We ordered the Veggie burger, crab cakes, loaded fries, the Cesar salad, and the chicken sandwich. I’m not sure how we managed to make room for dessert but we had the brownie and ice cream too. I enjoyed myself, EVERYTHING we had was good. Sonny had the greens last time and highly RECOMMEND them. Back to what I started with Tammy is exceptional she was 2023 employee of the year for a reason.

If I could leave 10 stars I would. The food is exceptional. We had the bone marrow fries, grilled cheese with tomato soup special, Mac and cheese… everything was delish. Our server was so friendly and helpful with recommendations. We will be back!

The table bread is the only reason I come here. The butter that is served with it changes often and I’ve NEVER had a bad experience. The bar tender Ben is amazing! Very attentive, friendly, and quick. Make sure you at least stop in and see him. The wife had the pork chop, and it was the biggest pork chop I’ve seen, and at a great price too!!! It’s a Fortville must see!

Stopped in from IL for a quick lunch. Had a Beef Manhattan and hubby had a Troy Burger with fries, both were EXCELLENT! Burger was so so juicy, tasted like a steak on a bun. Manhattan was also delicious with the homemade gravy & mashed potatoes. Food came out of the kitchen super fast! Server was attentive and very sweet & knowledgeable about the menu. Even gave us a delicious warm cookie dessert for stopping in for our first time. Wonderful experience, will come back if in the area again!
