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.

The staff are the best! Joanne, Jay, Devan, Robin, Ali,Jen,Lauren, Melanie,Sydney, James, Jonesie…..simply the best. What ever you’re craving, food is fantastic, drinks a flowin!! Come on over and enjoy!
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.Parking: there is ample parking in the front and back of the pub

There were 4 of us that came here for lunch on a Saturday. Our server Joanne was lovely, and easily told us the special that day. When I asked what the soup of the day was, I was surprised when she told me Mulligatawny, as I rarely see that at most restaurants. Between us we had the chili, salmon with rice and vegetables, Liver with bacon, onion mash potato and vegetables, I had the Cajun Chicken and I upgraded my side to the Mulligatawny soup. The chili was good and filling, but not spicy. The salmon had a nice cream sauce, it was light and the salmon was cooked perfectly. The cajun chicken was good, I thoroughly enjoyed the soup. I like spicy food and didn't taste the kick. The other ladies said they did, so it depends on what your spicy level is. Now, the liver looked incredible. It was 2 large pieces with all the fixings. The meal was really enough for 2 people. Every single one of us enjoyed our meal. This place has been around for a long time. I just wish I had been sooner.
