Reviews
If I were rating purely on nostalgia and all the amazing breakfasts I’ve had here over the years, this would be an easy five stars. This visit, though, felt more like a solid four.
The food was fine — not bad at all — just not as memorable as it used to be. Portions seemed noticeably smaller than I remember, and some of the flavor felt a bit lackluster compared to the magic Fox & Goose used to deliver.
We ordered the quiche of the day. It was pretty good, nicely cooked, but it didn’t have that “wow” factor or bold personality that makes you think about it later.
I had the Athena omelette, and unfortunately, it didn’t quite shine. It mostly tasted like tomatoes, and I barely saw or tasted the feta. It just didn’t have much presence or depth — not bad, just not memorable.
Now let’s talk about the reason we really came: the olallieberry scones with Devonshire cream. These used to be legendary. There was always that excitement of ordering them — the only question was how many more we could squeeze in before leaving. This time, they were still good… but smaller, and missing that magic touch I remember. And the $2 extra charge for the Devonshire cream felt a little unnecessary. It just didn’t hit the same way.
On the bright side, the coffee was great (as always), and the sides that came with the plates were good too. Service and atmosphere still carry that cozy, classic feel.
I may sound harsh, and that’s honestly not my intention. I love this place. I’ve had so many great memories here over the years, which is why I think I felt the difference so strongly this time. It just felt more like a typical diner visit instead of the iconic Sacramento experience I’ve always associated with Fox & Goose.
That said — the food was not terrible at all. It’s still a solid spot for breakfast, and people should absolutely go try it and enjoy it. I’m giving four stars because it still deserves support and customers. I just hope it finds that magic again, because longtime fans know how special it can truly be.
The food was excellent and felt authentic. The traditional English breakfast came with eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans, and toast. Everything tasted fresh and well-cooked. The potatoes and scones were also really good, simple and comforting.
Service was friendly and easygoing, and the whole experience was very enjoyable. It’s a great spot for a proper English breakfast and a pleasant way to start the day.
The neighborhood has changed dramatically and is now one of Sacramento’s hot spots, but Fox & Goose remains a true gem. The English pub/café vibe is welcoming, the brunch is solid, and our server took great care of us.
We enjoyed some great cocktails, and the tofu scramble with pesto and walnuts was a standout. Prices are reasonable, though weekend parking can be tough—still absolutely worth it.
Total price was roughly $100 without tip. I had high expectations with the reviews but was sadly let down.
My dinner experience was the same as my brunch experience in the past, everything is super bland except for the things with olalieberry in it, those always taste great. If I ever came back, I’d only get the breakfast scones to go. The dinner scones were not good.
The pro: I like the atmosphere and the bathrooms are nice
Plenty of seating with some tables outside if you’re dining with your furry friends.
There can be a wait unless you come during off hours.
