Foxs Restaurant in Altadena

Stopped by on a Friday around noon. There is no parking lot, just street parking. The restaurant is small but they seat you quite quickly. It has a retro look/feel to it. Our waitress was a nice older lady.We ordered pancakes, house potatoes, and Chorizo burrito. The pancakes were fluffy and definitely had a nice homemade taste to it. It definitely will fill you up with just 1.The house potatoes had good flavor. They are definitely better than Millies Cafe potatoes which have no flavor at all.The Chorizo burrito was a bit bland. Nothing to rave about.I might come back to try their pie though, which was sold out.

Amazing brunch options from sweet to savory - excellent! Would definitely come back again.

We stumbled upon this place after shopping at Pasadena City College and weren’t disappointed. It was a rainy day so the outside seating wasn’t being used, and their was a line for inside seating. Despite them being extremely busy, the staff was hustling to accommodate everyone with their inside seating. The front room was packed and the seating was intimate, but it never felt tight, and there was seating at the rear as well. They have a retro look, but the food is a combo of old American classics like French Toast, but also items like Chilaquiles and other outliers I didn’t expect to see. I was surprised how soon the food arrived. They should rename their house potatoes to Goldilocks potatoes, because they’re not too crunchy, and not too soft, but just right. Some of the best potatoes we’ve ever had, no joke. The side of Chicken sausage was incredibly juicy and tender, cooked to perfection, and the French Toast light and fluffy. The Goddess omelet was chock full of veggies that were quickly scarfed down. We were completely full at the end. Fox’s is definitely a place we would return to try some of the other menu items.

I was going to try this restaurant in Altadena and Im glad I did.The feeling of real people enjoying breakfast and talking to each other!!!NO Phone noise just people enjoying the great atmosphere of a waitress who wanted to wait on me. She smiled and made my day when I walked in. The food fantastic and priced good. Coffee 😋.

We love this cozy, local spot! They have a great combination of diner classics along with a bunch of creative and delicious dishes (for example, the sweet potato donuts).Make sure to grab a piece of cake or pie to go!

Good breakfast spot. Seating inside or outside where dogs are allowed. Street parking only.

We were a party of two from out of town. Street parking only. We were seated pretty quickly, INSIDE. Took about 20 minutes from the time we were seated for us to get our drinks and then another 15 or so for our waitress to come to our table. Erin, our waitress, took our order and did not check on us at all after that. She skipped our table multiple times, not making eye contact, nothing. We tried getting her attention multiple times but couldn’t due to her not even looking in our direction. Other tables seated after us had her full attention while we were waiting and waiting and waiting for a coffee refill. I had to get up to get my own coffee refill from a different staff member. That staff member apologized. The food was okay. The bacon and egg omelet had cheese but most of it was unmelted so that was kind of a let down. 6/10. The bacon though was GOOOOD. We also got the French toast. Pretty thick slices so it was kind of dry. The syrup really helped. 7/10. Honestly, I think I we would have enjoyed the food more if we didn’t feel like we were ignored. When we finished the food, the host took our plates away and we were waiting a good 20-30 minutes after for out waitress to come and bring the check or at least check on us. NOTHING. The only way I was “helped” was by standing by the server computer. Erin sounded annoyed and asked which table we were sitting at. WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHICH TABLE? We were INSIDE and you walked by us multiple times. The whole experience just left a bad taste in my mouth and was super disappointing. I’m sure everyone else had a good experience but man… being ignored at a restaurant by our waitress does not make you want to come back. I would have rather gone to Burger King if I knew that’s how we were going to be treated.

I went there for brunch with friends and the only thing we wanted more of was wait staff. However, we assume its due to the pandemic. On the bright side, the food was exquisite. My rueben sandwich and pozole were perfect. When I ordered the pozole, I was skeptical, but man they did it right. The dollop of sour cream was well-placed. My partner had the sweet potato and shrimp hash which she found to be delicious and the shrimp was very well-cooked, given how easy it is to overcook it. The sangria was delicious. The fruit inside was fresh and far from soggy. The pancakes were nice and fluffy, just like the atmosphere. My partner and I are already talking about our subsequent return.

True old-fashioned American breakfast place. The crew is very friendly. Everything is made fresh in the kitchen. The only issue is that parking is only on the street (but its healthy to have a short walk after a good meal 😉).

Its a friendly little spot on Lake Ave you find as you head North towards the hills. They have a little bit of everything. I can say that I liked the majority of what I tasted and even that which I didnt favor was fresh and well prepared. I need to go back to try their Salted Caramel cheesecake
