| - A month or so ago, I was lucky enough to check out Leroy Fox during their soft opening. And while I've been meaning to head back much sooner, I finally got a chance to check it out again last night! Overall, I'm thinking that Leroy Fox is going to be a neighborhood staple in Cotswold!
Hubs and I rolled in on a Wednesday night, hankering for some fried chicken. What? Don't judge. It sounded delicious. The exterior of Leroy Fox features a really cool looking patio, surrounded by what looks to be a Lincoln Log/Jenga-esque wall. There are plenty of cutouts and openings to ensure plenty of air flow. When the weather turns lovely, this patio will be a hoppin'.
Speaking of hoppin', the restaurant was super busy for a Wednesday night. Considering the number of TV's and comfy booths, it's no surprise. The place itself is warm and modern, yet Southern. There are tons of local influences from Poppy's Bagel chips to the decor to the locally named items.
Because the place was perhaps abnormally busy on a Wednesday night, service was a bit harried overall. However, the food and beverage certainly made up it! Here's what I ordered...
Selwyn Avenue (cocktail): 5/5: Wow. They should just name this happy juice. It's an Arnold Palmer esque (1/2 tea, 1/2 lemonade) but with a twist of Dragonberry rum. And it's yum. I also love that it's served in a mason jar!
1/4 North Fried Chicken: 4.5/5: Super delicious, crispy fried chicken. This plate is served with a wing and a breast and both pieces were very flavorful and juicy. The breading on the bird is salted and peppered and perfect with hot sauce!
Mac 'n cheese: 4/5: This was one of my side items and I was scraping the bottom of the ramekin to get every last bite. It's creamy shells and it's delightful.
Green bean casserole: 3/5: The casserole was just fine, but nothing crazy or overly spectacular. If you love green bean casserole, you'll likely enjoy it.
Cornbread: 3/5: I fully appreciate that I received not one but two cornbread muffins with my meal. Score! This cornbread was solid, but dry. Hubs dunked his in gravy and ate it right up.
Gravy: 4/5: That being said, the gravy was tasty...and I'm not even a gravy lover!
I can absolutely envision myself coming back to Leroy Fox for another helping of that practically perfect fried chicken and Selwyn Avenue cocktail. At an affordable $17 for the two ($9 chicken and $8 cocktail), my belly was full and very happy.
