Fox and Crow

Atmosphere was great, Root Beer Float (with alcohol) was really good as a special treat, veggie burger was a pile of mush. They need to buy their veggie burgers from the Jersey City Veggie Burgers lady and stop making their own.

Came here on a Thursday evening. It has cool artwork from the outside, and has a Brooklyn feel in the inside. Unfortunately, we arrived at 8pm so we JUST missed happy hour. Ended up seeing a couple of friends sitting at a table who was finishing up paying their check. Had to flag down their waitress a couple times. She must have been in the weeds because she seemed like the only server taking care of the whole section. My friends informed us in advance that the service was slow, but that the food was good. I wanted to give this place a benefit of the doubt, but they were right. The minute they got up from their table, my boyfriend and I sat down and did not receive menus or was introduced by a waiter for almost 10 minutes. We saw 2 seats at the bar open up and decided that if we sat there, we would receive faster service.
Was immediately greeted by a friendly bartender. I originally ordered ballast point but he suggested that I should try pineapple Sculpin –which was different, but in a good way! While my boyfriend ordered the cranberry cider which was served in a wine glass.
I had ordered the Cajun burger (with avocado), the classic burger, and some wings to start off with. Our burgers came out, but what about our wings? Our bartender forgot to put it in which at the time was not a big deal. Maybe he wouldn’t have forgotten if he wrote down our order instead of just memorizing it. Half way eating my burger, I realized that there was no avocado. I figured he forgot to ring that in too, didn’t bother to let the bartender know. I was hungry and I was finally eating. The fries were OK, but my burger was dry. Did not know what to expect since he couldn’t tell us the how their medium/​medium rare is like. Anyways, once we received the check, I noticed that I was charged for $ 2 for avocado that was never on my burger. Our bartender removed it but for 2 burgers (with a side of fries included) and 2 drinks, our bill came up to almost $ 50. This was very expensive and for the service that we received, it was not worth it.

Excellent hidden gem of Jersey City. Cocktails are unique, sophisticated, and, more importantly, tasty! If you want a nice jersey city bar without any of the riff raff, this is definitely the place to be. Beautiful inside and out. Well worth the visit.

The sweetest bartenders! A really chill place to hang out, good drinks, and unusual but cool atmosphere

Took forever to get a burger on a Tuesday night at 830; and the bartenders (sitting at the bar) never came back after they gave us our initial beer.
So after an hour of waiting we paid the bill and left. I SO wanted this place to be good!

I have eaten here several times and I’m impressed how the burgers are consistently delicious time after time. These cooks don’t mess around. My personal favorite: the California burger: cheddar, avocado, crispy bacon. Total knockout! If you want to scratch off a few calories, You can have the classic which is pretty awesome as well. If you are feeling tough then go for the cajun spiced. You really can’t go wrong with your burger choice. I really appreciate the fresh cut fries, most bars give you the frozen kind.
You can also enjoy a great selection of beers including the Allagash white. My favorite after my trip to portland Maine. It actually reminds me of one those bars that I visited. Very rugged.
The atmosphere is very mellow and if you are into live music, this place offer live performances from really cool local bands. An authentic bar you don’t want to miss. Rock on FOX and CROW!

We ate dinner here for Mother’s Day. The black bean burger was absolutely delicious! The fries are to die for. Can’t wait to go back!

This place is sort of a hidden gem. I like that it’s away from downtown Jersey City and Hoboken. I think it’s a nice place overall, I really enjoyed the ambiance. Great place to grab a beer or have your date night. But that’s as far as it goes.
I ate here around 7pm on a Tuesday. Not too crowded. Ordered spicy chili wings as an appetizer. Nothing special. Also? Calling all fellow Asians, doesn’t that sauce taste familiar to you? For my meal I ordered the spicy Cajun burger. It’s not spicy and it’s disgustingly greasy. Don’t get me wrong, I love a greasy burger but it was just too much for me. The fries were a little undercooked too. On top of that, my boyfriend and I had to wait 1hr+ for our food. We’re very patient people though, as long as the food is worth waiting for. But unfortunately it wasn’t. For two burgers, 6pc wings, 2 beers, our total came out to $ 50. Yikes.
I say come here for drinks and that’s it. Food isn’t worth it for the price.

I love this place and I want them to succeed. But the service is terrible. So many reviews say the same thing.
The last time I was there, there were only 4 other people there. It took more than 5 minutes just to be acknowledged, which made me feel awkward. HOW DO YOU NOT NOTICE A NEW PERSON WALKED IN AND SAT DOWN IN FRONT OF YOU? Then another 5 to actually get a drink, which I drank in 3 minutes and left. The whole time the bartender was talking to another guest, and clearly couldn’t multitask. He kept stopping while making my drink. It was so frustrating.
Umm I liked when Crystal was there. I don’t know what she did to get fired, but she was fast and attentive.

Went once. Already my favorite.
I have yet to find a place with my two loves, Allagash White and 90 Minute IPA.

Quality. Word rings in my head every time I’m here. The entrees might be on the pricey side for the neighborhood, but they are absolutely worth it.
There are times when you just know you’re having a sublime, extraordinary experience with your food. From the burgers to the fries to the pan-​seared tuna, everything I have ordered off the food menu has been perfect and has had me wanting to come back for more.
That coupled with the great craft beer selection just puts it over the top. So glad this place is here and I can walk to it.

Nice cute place, went on a Tuesday afternoon. Had a Cajun spiced burger, asked for medium well, done pretty much well done. I knew I should of said medium rare to get the medium well which is what I do at most places.
Burger wasn’t bad, just a lil disappointed with the temperature of the meat. Over all good flavor and a lot of food. Came with the pub fries and those were also huge. My fiancé had the krabby patty, he wasn’t to crazy about it and I knew he wouldn’t be Bc it had people cabbage and he’s not a fan of cabbage. He did enjoy my burger. We also had the sweet chili wings, those were really nice and we enjoyed them.
Only thing that was annoying was the service was really slow. The bartender was bartender/​bus boy/​server, so it is understandable that it would be slow. But when we got there, it wasn’t too busy. It got busier later on towards the end of our meal, and service got slower. You can tell he tried to accommodate us and that’s appreciated. He just needed some back up. So management should look into that since the place is pretty decent and seems like it would be a good addition.
I Would actually give 3.5 stars

Fox and Crow owners/​staff: this review can totally be 5 stars with a few simple fixes in service: namely, promptness and organization.
TL:DR: food is yummy, vibe is fantastic and servers are for the most part friendly. But be prepared to wait an hour plus for a burger even when you are only one of four tables. Then be prepared to flag down (with sinking ship-​worthy arm waves) your server for anything else after the food is dropped: another drink, napkins, mustard, your check. Two times, we waited over an hour for our food as we got hungrier and hungrier. Then it took 30 minutes for them to sort out a split check. (Face palm)
As new transplants from Brooklyn to the Heights, we were thrilled to discover this place around the corner. The décor is cool, vibe is cozy, playlist is rocking and the drinks are flowing. But this place suffers a liiittttllee bit from lack of competition: as the only bar of its kind in the neighborhood, it’s gotten away with subpar service for awhile. I think a few tweaks could really improve it.
Bottom line: we love you guys! Just improve your service and 5 stars all the way!!!

Small neighborhood bar with a gentrified Brooklyn kind of feel. Burgers were probably the highlight — I had the cajun burger twice and enjoyed it both times, although I’d probably try one of the other options next time. Most burgers are in the $ 14-​$ 15 range and come with fries. Service was a little on the slow side, but it might have been because I caught them on a shift change. On the bright side, they have Yuengling on tap. Yum

Nice cool space. A place I would go back for a beer or two but not much else. If your part of the Edison Bulb crew then this is an amazing place.
Wife and I went there for dinner. Not to crowded when I got there and grabbed a booth. We ordered two burgers (which were good) and an order of buffalo wings (decent and spicier than u think) That order took over an hour. That does not make me happy.
After our «meal» and two beers the bill was $ 70. Sorry, the burgers, wings, and beers were not worth it (especially since they didn’t have PBR) and won’t be walking into that again.
Again, nice place to grab a beer but not took keen to eat there. BTW– I’m part of the Edison Bulb Crowd.
Have Fun

I’ve been here a few times, mostly for drinks but also to eat. This was a few months ago — I’ve heard they have increased their staff since then, which was be one of my main complaints.
Firstly, I love that this place is in this neighborhood and I want them to succeed. I think everybody does. Every time I’ve been there the bartender has been overwhelmed, often also acting as a server, but the vibe is ‘just be patient’. We came in once on a weeknight when things were pretty empty, and ordered burgers, and waited for quite a while before they brought them out.
For prices… the cocktails are good and interesting, and I’m happy to pay for them. The beer is truly overpriced; the burgers are great, but also a bit pricy. If this is the price point they need to keep the business open, then I suppose it’s what needs to happen… but I’d love to hear about a happy hour or something so that I can come here more regularly.

I’ve stopped by at least a dozen times since they opened and think it is time to update my initial review. There are so many things about this place that make it hard to give it a bad review and a few things that make it hard not to give it a bad review so I’ll split the difference. Location is everything, and in the Heights you can only get the following at Fox and Crow:
–Craft beer selection (bottle and draft).
–A veggie burger, which also happens to be very tasty. The crab burger is pretty good too.
–Cocktails. These can be hit or miss, but I had a fantastic Moscow Mule ($ 12) on my last visit.
These things would be less impressive in a neighborhood with more bars/​restaurants, but alas that neighborhood is not the Heights. The downsides are price, everything is really expensive and if I want to spend $ 90 for 2 burgers and 4 drinks, I think I’d rather go downtown and spend less. Service can be either really friendly or a bit gruff. And then there is The Parlour, which I haven’t been to yet, mostly because there usually seems to be a cover charge. In the Heights. I’m not sure why there’s a cover charge. If it is for the musicians that’s fine, but say suggested donation for the talent or something. Overall, I’m sure I’ll be back a bunch more times, and I’m a fan of the food and beer selection, but…

Owww Owww Fox and Crowe, I like you as a new addition to the JC heights, I like you a lot.
This cozy and dimly lit spot is just what the area needed. It’s got a hip and effortlessly cool vibe yet still manages to fly under the radar and has an aura of exclusivity. Only a matter of time until this place blows up and becomes a local fixture.
They’ve got a really diverse selection of tap brews and I ended up going with a Carton Brew 077XX.
The menu mainly features various burger selections, but if you don’t fancy meat there are other between-​the-​bread options like crab cakes and a black bean burger. I went with the classic cheeseburger. No thrills, no frills– just meat, cheddar and caramelized onions. Exactly what I was craving– nailed it.
The BF sprung for the black bean burger with avocado, a bit out of character for him to take the veggie route, but he ended up finding a new fave. Both of our burgers came with a side of fresh cut fries. They were thick, crispy and salted to perfection. A tad oily for a 10 pm dinner, but hunger was calling.
Food was decent, but there wasn’t much to choose from. Burgers at 14 dollars a pop or a beet salad are the only moves you can make here. Next time I’ll probably eat elsewhere and head to F&C after for a late night libation.

Finally what the Heights has been missing! I love that there is finally a bar like this in the heights. Came here for an event and although we were probably overwhelming for the bartender and server they did an awesome job keeping up!
Few signature cocktails on the board which I will have to try next time I’m there. I love the décor at this bar — trendy yet chilled. Yes, a bit hipster but honestly completely laid back.
The menu is why I wouldn’t give this place 5 stars: $ 14 for a burger… come on, that’s a bit much. Definitely a good burger but not worth $ 14. I really hope they consider this and rethink their prices.
I definitely want to come back and try some of the signature cocktails and hopefully the prices will be lower by then, hint hint.

I really wanted to like this spot because of the location: the heights. We’re excited to see bars changing it up around here for a more «friendlier» vibe.
I was first here for Vicky’s UYE. It’s a nice area with a decent amount of space. Bar area, booths, and seating in the middle for 4 on high stools. The signature cocktails are written in chalk on the wall. So because of the UYE it was busier and more difficult to get our drink/​food orders in. No biggie. I had the Negroni for 2 ($ 20) and I had trouble keeping the drink down. It reminded me of medicine you didn’t want to take. Salimah and I were not fans but hey some people might appreciate those flavors. I came back the other night for drinks again and this time tried the Slyfox ($ 10)… I can’t. I should’ve known not to mess with rum. It’s a strong drink so I switched it up and kept it simple with the vodka & sprite.
Again, there were only 2 people working and the service was on the slow side. But the lady, who was helping us out, was sweet when she came around. But I would say it’s better to just walk up to the bar to get your drink. After drinking that Sly Fox, I had to order a side of fries… they were pretty good. The burgers are about $ 14. Feel like they could’ve at least kept them at $ 12 in this area. I probably will come back just because of the proximity to me but I also wouldn’t mind heading to downtown JC for better cocktails.
