Even though I live just around the corner from The Fox and Firkin, I'm pretty sure this was only my second visit to the restaurant. I'm a sucker for a comfy booth and this joint's got quite a few, so I'll definitely be returning on a far more regular basis.
But how's the food, you ask? It's pretty typical. It's neither terrible nor delicious, which is exactly what I would've expected from such an eatery. On the day I was there, they had a pretty decent deal for their Firkin Burger ("Jack, bacon, caramelized onions"), so obviously that's what I went for.
It's an enormous burger. It's piled high with toppings, including a few that aren't even listed. (Onion rings!) Even after you smush the whole thing together, it's still a little too big to cram into one's mouth, but I somehow made it work. Everything works pretty well together, although I can't possibly tell you what the quality of the actual patty was like.
The service was solid and the beer was tasty. All in all, a fine way to spend an hour or so.
