Really, such a great surprise in a little town.
It's July 4th weekend and we felt the urge to get out of Vegas (where we live), so we took a short trip to Boulder. That's when we heard about Fox and we thought, what better to eat than BBQ on this American holiday. Perfect.
And indeed it was.
Set up like a mom and pop shop, Fox looks like it takes up three units of a sidewalk strip. Once inside, it's got the feel of a fast-food/take-out place (which it also is), but the people and the layout give a humbling environment to make dining-in comfortable as well.
There's lots to look at while waiting for your grub: sports memorabilia, live TV, and even children's art work (or at least I'd presume they're of children's) - and this was just one room. One of the supposed three units is dedicated to seating, complete with booths and more flair. No matter where you're seated, the servers are very helpful and super friendly.
We ordered a pitcher of PBR ($3!), half pound of ribs meal with fries and dinner roll, half pound of brisket meal with cowboy beans and a din din roll. Damn, did this stuff hit the spot. It reminded me of eating Franklin's in Austin but with their own spin on it.
After this visit, I'd say this place is now definitely on my radar and locked in for a visit whenever I'm back in Boulder.
