| - Wicked Fox is one of the newer options in the area for casual bar-type dining and drinks. They have fairly comprehensive snack/sandwich/dinner menu and a nice draft list that is reasonably priced. Their beer prices get even better during happy hours (5-7 on weekdays) when you save $2/beer. Their food is less favorably priced (perhaps slightly too high), but it does seem to be made fresh.
On a recent visit, I tried their mac n cheese with chicken. It was a generous portion and unique in that it was made with a cheddar gouda sauce (incidentally, their cheddar gouda sauce pops up in lots of dishes on their menu, so they must be quite proud of it). Personally, the flavor of the gouda was a bit too overpowering in the sauce for my tastes...wish it was better balanced with the cheddar. However, the mac n cheese wasn't dry (which is very important in mac n cheeses) and it had a delicious crunchy parm topping. The chicken in the dish wasn't all that great....it tasted a bit bland and processed and wasn't worth the $4 upcharge. My husband tried the "Sloppy Fox" sandwich, which is basically a hyped-up sloppy joe with jalapenos, tater tots, and...you guessed it...their cheddar gouda sauce. He added fries for a $1 upcharge. He reported that his sandwich was quite tasty. I pilfered a few of his fries and they were delicious...freshly cut and well-seasoned.
I wasn't blown away by the food here, but given the reasonable drink prices and the other lackluster options in the area, it's not a bad choice. 3.5 stars.
