    Enjoyable causal dining experience. Very nice service sitting at the bar. Finished up with decadent choco lava cake. Will go back & try the burgers.

    Waitress was really sweet, ambiance was warm. Food, not so great. Short rib was tough, mini baby carrots were undercooked. Dessert was decent, chocolate cookie dough with ice cream.

    Could not believe how packed it was at 5:30 pm on a Saturday! The service was excellent, food was really good, drinks quite expensive, ambience lively and sorta loud but not too loud to talk. Lots of young people with young kids at 5:30 pm. I had the Fall martini, fall salad, and Greek flatbread. All delicious. We had to pack alot of it up and leave because of toddler running out of manners—-lol. But this is probably the best food and ambience in Ipswich right now.

    The short rib dinner was fantastic and reasonably priced. The lettuce chicken appetizer was excellent, as well.

    Over the years the food quality has diminished. I had ribs. They were underdone with little flavor. Wife got a very generic and uninteresting Caesar salad. Friend got a bowl of chile. Not finished. Wait person was awesome but food disappointing. We’ve been there over the years with great experiences. This one meh.
    Fox Creek TavernResponded on September 23, 2024
    Hi Mike, I am so sorry to hear that you did not enjoy any of the dishes you had. I will certainly pass your feedback along to our head chef so that we can learn from this and improve. Caesar salads are usually generic, they only have four ingredients but we do have three other very fun and interesting salads that are delicious if you like salads. Hopefully you give us another try and maybe you can try one of those!

    Our first visit was wonderful! The tavern was not crowded and we were seated at a table of our choice. Nice decore, lighting and quite an extensive menu to consider. We ended up sharing a delicious salad and tasty flat bread pizza over a glass of wine. Very friendly staff. If we lived nearby, we would definitely return.

    Hi Rita, thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed everything. We hope to see you again in the future! :)
