The Fox Hole - Orange City, Iowa

Just had a great experience at The Fox Hole! The atmosphere has a perfect balance between classy and low-key, making it great for an either a relaxed meal with family and friends or a casual date night. The ambiance allowed for easy conversation, while not quite it wasn’t loud, and we could still easily hear everyone around the table.

Our server, Chloe, provided excellent service—attentive yet not intrusive, and her timing with the food was spot-on. While the dishes didn’t come out super fast, they arrived at just the right pace to enjoy the meal without feeling rushed.

The menu is impressive! We ordered a collection of drinks, Moscow mules, margarita, and Cabernet Sauvignon. The smash burgers were cooked perfectly, juicy, on brioche buns, and sides of huge flaky onion rings. The split pea soup, has prosciutto, sprouts, and pistachios, which stood out as having unique textures and rich flavor. The steak sando with chimichurri was another highlight, with tender, medium rare steak on a large ciabatta roll. The grown-up grilled cheese is elevated with a bing cherry jam that added a touch of sweetness, and we also added a mushroom medley and bacon to it! And crispy creamy crème brûlée for dessert.

There are two ranges of prices on the menu making it accessible to different groups of people which we really appreciated. Overall, The Fox Hole is an excellent experience with great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

My husband and I went to The Foxhole for lunch and it was the best dining experience we have had in years. Our waitress Mackenzie was hands down the best waitress we’ve had, she gave us great recommendations on food and was very helpful. The food, atmosphere and service was exceptional. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. We will definitely be back to try out the other items on the menu !

We had the pleasure of joining The Fox Hole on a soft-opening event. The food was excellent! You really must go try this restaurant when in town! The Grilled Airline Chicken was to die for, and the tenderloin filet with the potato pave was heavenly! Can’t wait to come back and eat again.

The food and atmosphere were quite good. We ordered a variety and it was all delicious. Don’t skip the bread, it was hot and very yummy.

The food was outstandingly good, menu varied and creative, and our server was wonderful in all aspects. They are having some opening pains in that our food took 1 hour and 45 minutes so plan accordingly. Our party took that in stride but I was disappointed to see they charged for iced tea refills given we were sitting there for so long waiting for our food. Fox Hole is a much needed addition to the community.

Walking in you get a taste of elegance and how you are greeted, very inviting. I ordered the salmon and it was fabulous. Seared perfectly along with creamy parsnip pure and gnocchi nestled under the salmon. It was amazing. Perfect location and perfect night out. The owners really know what they are doing.

Started with the bread and butter appetizer. Wonderful stuff that. I ordered the ribeye out of curiosity. I was pleasantly surprised! I’m the type that always complains that I could make better at home. I ordered medium rare and that is what I got! The steak was nicely seasoned and seared. The onions were nice and jammy and full of flavor.

My daughter told me she wasn’t hungry as we were walking to the restaurant and I told her that we could box up whatever she didn’t eat. She polished off her Mac n Cheese and said it was delicious. Her sister had the grilled cheese and said she liked it as well. The only let down were the French fries. Next time I’ll order the crispy smashed potatoes that came with my steak as a side instead of fries. Thank you for the prompt and kind service, the waitress was very nice to my kiddos and took good care of us.
