Reviews for Fox Creek Tavern in Ipswich, MA
I will start with the fact that their food is cooked and presented really, really well. I'd encourage anyone to try Fox... Creek. That being said, after ordering here for lunch a few times and finally sitting in for a late lunch, it's "fine". Wewere promptly greeted and sat (????) our server, Jimmy was kind and enthusiastic. It was hard to nail down the "vibe" of theplace, but overall it was warm and welcoming. A low pour glass of Oyster Bay was $10 when the entire bottle retails for$12-$13. Our app of buffalo tots and chicken was probably the best part of the meal. While not actually spicy, there was asolid effort on coating. My husband ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich, and I ordered the fish tacos. FAIL onboth. The chicken sandwich was a perfectly cooked (and I mean perfectly cooked) chicken breast on top of a well toasted briochebun with fixings. The only thing missing was "the hot". It wasn't dipped in any type of sauce. It was a flat out not hot chickensandwich. Still delicious, but not what was ordered/met expectations. Instead of tacos, I was met with a haddock sandwich. Notthe end of the world at all. Except I didn't want the roll, and I wanted the sirracha sauce. I fully admit I accepted thesandwich because it was somewhat close to what I wanted and I didn't want to wait for a new meal. I ate the fish and skippedeverything else....for $18. Our bill without tip came to $72. I can appreciate inflation, I can appreciate that mistakeshappen (we are all Human!) but I'm not over or under "whelmed"...just whelmed. Read more
Love, love, loved everything about my dining experience! The food was phenomenal but the best part was our top notch bartender,... Baron. Baron was friendly, funny, and attentive. If you want amazing service to go along with your meal, Baron is your guy! Read more
Came to Fox Creek tonight for the first time to try their famous Irish Nachos. We ended up having the sweetest and personable... bartender, Dayna! She really made the evening come together with her suggestion of a Paloma, since I didn’t want a margaritabut still wanted tequila. It was perfectly made, just like the Nachos and everything else we ordered! We will definitely beback soon! Read more
Great bartender! She made some cool martinis. Food was really good! The taco special was a hit and the burgers are great. Going... back for a Beach Bucket one of these days, when I'm not driving home! Read more
The place is very clean and cozy. Very comfortable chairs. Wait staff is quick and very friendly. The food was very good. Irish... nacho is a must. The surf and turf was perfect. Can't wait to get back and try something new. Read more
First time trying the Fox Creek Tavern. Called ahead and put my name in because it was a bit of a drive. Food was really good. I... ordered the Bang Bang shrimp for an app and the BBQ steak tips for my meal. The only thing I can complain about was the greenbeans, they were a bit hard. Other than that everything was delicious! My mom ended up ordering the Mac and cheese grilledcheese. She enjoyed it. No complaints. Read more
Solid food and beers menu. Loved sitting in comfy chairs instead of the usual chairs the encourage you to get lost more than... stay and enjoy another beer. Everything we ordered was too quality and service was excellent, provided with a smile, and fast. Read more
I usually don't have time for reviews but felt compelled to do so this time around. In the past, when we ordered take out, it... was never great but edible (and believe me, we're not fussy at all!), so we decided to give it another chance as I received a"happy birthday" discount from the place in my email (they have a "loyalty" program). We ordered crab cakes, side of sweetpotato fries and a haddock sandwich. Crab cakes were very smelly, fishy and mushy (and I know how they should be, as this wasnot my 1st time ordering those), I barely choked down 1 of the 2 (despite being super hungry) and was actually afraid I mightget food poisoning from those, as they definitely didn't smell right! So, the 2nd one went into trash... I thought, well, atleast I still have sweet potato fries - what could go wrong there? They were super soggy and under-cooked! My husband's onionrings were the same - mushy and soggy, and his haddock sandwich "somewhat edible". I'm glad we didn't pay full price for that"meal" and my stomach didn't feel right all night. Please think twice before ordering a take out here, as I think they useexpired / low quality ingredients for those orders, hoping since you eat that at home, you won't bother to come back andcomplain. This was our last time eating / ordering here, luckily there are enough decent places nearby. Read more
