| - Must say that Leroy Fox has carved out a nice little space for themselves along Sharon Amity. Most of the other locations are lackluster in appearance and seem to get lost in your passing commute.
Leroy Fox is just the opposite. The entire facade stands out with layered, aged beams of grayish brown wood. The juxtaposition of each piece of wood seems to exhibit the careful, yet disheveled, look of the exterior. It goes without being said. This place just looks bad ass.
The interior is HUGE. Much larger than one would anticipate. Mounds of tables and a rather long, full-service and fully stocked bar. A conservative amount of TV's line the walls above the bar. Not too distracting like some other restaurant/bars. Tons of great beers on draught. Locals, too. NoDa and a few from OMB.
The service was fast, friendly and helpful. Didn't visit the table too often, didn't ask too many questions or hound for an up-sell. Just the right amount.
The food...woo. Where to start?
Pretzels: Great. slightly crunchy and neatly seasoned with salt. Three dips to choose from: cheese, ranch and fantastic honey mustard.
Sliders: Beef was so flavorful and smokey. A welcome aroma. Pretty sure on mini brioche buns. Perfect as a standalone or an app split amongst all diners.
Mac n' cheese: Let's just say, if you don't end up getting it, I feel sorry for your taste buds.
My fellow diners had a salad with fried chicken and the tiger shrimp wrap. The wrap looked nice and fresh. Would definitely consider for a lunch option. The salad looks great with nice helpings of lightly battered and fried...uhh fried chicken. I had the serendipitous opportunity to try a piece of the chicken. Divine.
Next time, I'm trying the fried chicken as an entree. This place knows the way to a southerner's heart (in a good way).
Looking forward to many visits in the near future!
