Red Fox Bar & Grill - Fairbanks, Alaska

The food is good. Wait staff could be more attentive. This isn't the first time I've had lack luster service here. The Red Fox is generally an afterthought when looking for a place to eat. If you're not in a hurry, then this place will work for you. Good luck.

I visited the Red Fox Bar and Grill on 1/4/25 for dinner. I arrived there around 5:00 PM, early enough to avoid the evening crowd. There were only a few patrons dining in the restaurant. I have dined here previously on several occasions. I didn’t expect any change in the menu nor policy. I was caught by surprise when I was told that you could no longer divide the 2-pound order of chicken wings into two flavors of your choice. The new policy dictates that you must order 1 pound in one flavor and if you so desire order a 2nd pound in the flavor of your choice. The cost is $2 more to do it this way. Not a big deal but on principle, I thought this was not good customer service practice. I ordered appetizers with the dinner. I asked the server if the appetizers could be delivered to the table before the dinner arrived. I was told that this is not possible because the cooks prefer to serve the entire order at once. This is completely out of character based on my dining experience anywhere. However, the server did arrive with the appetizers just before the dinner arrived. In almost every case, chicken wings are typically served with sliced carrots and celery sticks. There were none. There were fewer chicken wings but in all fairness, I didn’t bring with me a scale to measure whether I was actually getting the amount of wings I ordered. This is another unexpected change in practice that was discovered at this restaurant. Although it may seem trivial, another negative aspect was the fact that chicken wings are served with packaged hand wipes to clean up after dinner. This was also discontinued.

In closing, my general impression was that the management has decided to trim corners at the customers expense and satisfaction. These flaws do not reflect what I would consider to be good business practice except for the owner who is seeking to expand his profit margin. There was no price reduction to reflect the reduction in the items served with the meal. The price is the same as it always was. Although the food was exceptionally good, these changes have resulted in much disappointment.

Since moving up here, this is one of our top favorite places to go to.
The food is absolutely amazing and always fresh.
The customer service is always top tier, super sweet, understanding and quick.
Vibes? Immaculate. Loud music, good TVs, and great seating.
They are pricey though - but it is worth it.

Went for food early in the morning and ordered two baskets of chicken strips, one with fries and one with tater tots. Every bite tasted of old, stale oil and when the waitress asked the cook, Ben said it was fresh, but working in a restaurant for over a decade that deep fry’s food and being born here in Fairbanks I’ve never encountered the food so terrible here. When I asked if it could be taken off our bill I could hear the cook giving a lot of attitude to the waitress so I dropped it and took it home to throw away. I should have known not to eat there before 3pm until the other cook is in, but we got excited for what is normally delicious bar food. Pretty pathetic for 3 chicken strips going for $17 that gave us an instant stomach ache all day.

It's a great bar and grill. The beer selection is excellent. The club sandwich is really good. Karli is one of their best waitresses. If you're in Fairbanks looking for a quick beer and good food, eat here.

It gives off a different vibe depending on the day and time, sometimes lots of fun sometimes not so much. During the week it’s a good place to hang out after work. Weekend is the after party spot so gets rowdy. Not a family friendly restaurant, but the food is good.

I was so disappointed on the food today and the service was not very good either. It’s been a while since I ate at this restaurant and was excited about going to be disappointed. The nets were out of control flying all over our food.
