Mama Fox - Brooklyn

I went to brunch with my wife and daughter. I ordered the shrimp and grits, my wife had the cardamom pancakes, and my daughter had eggs benedict. Everything was delicious! My daughter and I shared our dishes, and my wife didn't finish hers, so we helped her out. The service was excellent, very attentive. I thought the prices were average for NYC. I am excited to come back for dinner.

Mama fox was pretty good! the server were extremely attentive and friendly when I arrived for Sunday brunch. I had the French toast with a side of sunny ice cream, all of which were delicious. I think my only quality is that there were apples on the French toast that I found a little strange instead of berries (and not so good, though not bad). I also wanted to note that there is a $20 minimum for cards, and they can not charge or anything if they are under $20, so if they are planning to stop only for coffee or drinks, which is a good thing to be aware!

I really want to love this neighborhood restaurant. It has so much potential. I decided to visit with my dog, and I was pleased to see that they allow dogs in the outdoor seating area, which I thought was a great idea. I ordered the FoxyBrown drink, which was the highlight of my visit and something I would come back for. I also tried the Brussel sprouts and Yucca appetizer, both of which had potential but lacked flavor - they really needed some salt. After reading other reviews, it seems to be a common theme. With a little more seasoning, the food could be much better. I would give this place another try because it could potentially become my go-to spot. The staff were very charming and welcoming.

The first time I came here was in person for Brunch. I got the Biscuits and Gravy and it was absolutely perfect. Just the type of gravy that I had been looking for and the crispy sage leaf added a nice texture and taste. I’ve come two other times for pick up to get the same dish and my first impression has since changed to disappointment. The second time, the gravy was gritty, not mixed right. The third time the gravy was too thick and the egg was over cooked and rubbery.I’d like to order again and try some of their other dishes or come for dinner time, but only will if I’m looking to dine in, which isn’t very often that I do that.Also, they have their own ordering system through their website if you want to order online. I didn’t know at first because typically google will show if a restaurant has one or a preference. When I picked up the staff lectured me a bit on it, but I already know to do that, just didn’t see it. Made me wonder if they don’t like to put as much care for 3rd party takeout orders.

Great place for a date night. Friendly staff, great food and drinks. No one was left unattended or left out. Will definitely return.The roasted duck breast was to die for. Thanks!
