The Snooty Fox looks like it hasn’t changed since the 1960’s and that is in no way a bad thing! It harkens back to a simpler time when the experience was more about the service and food than the instagramable decor.
The Eggs Benedict were quickly delivered by Julie, a very sweet and friendly woman, and was devoured just as fast. The plate included their signature “Them Potatoes;” hash browns with a mix of green peppers, red peppers, and onions, that were game changing.
Garnished with an orange slice and parsley like it probably has been for the past 30 years, it was the perfect finishing touch to this dining experience.
If you find yourself in Lake Forest and you’re looking for a fast, friendly, and insanely filling dining experience, come and enjoy the Snooty Fox.

Eggs Benedict and Those Potatoes
We’ve been going to this place for years. The food has generally been good, but prices are going up. But, it’s a local establishment, so we try to go at least once or twice a month. Today, however, I never got a chance to order anything. The wait staff decided they would ignore or avoid us for 10 minutes with at least half the restaurant empty. The only people that spoke to us was a hostess telling us to sit anywhere and one waitress, who while helping one pair of ladies, kept avoiding us and then finally acknowledged us by looking our way. But, then continued to ignore us. Meanwhile, waitresses in other “stations” couldn’t seem to be bothered to say hello, offer water or say they’d find our waitress.
This is just rude and the food is not good enough to put up with this. Nor is the food worth the price to be ignored. This is horrible customer service that could easily be handled with a simple “hello…I’ll be right with you” or may offer us some water??? Nope. Nothing.
I’m sure it doesn’t matter to the owners of this restaurant as they seem to have a loyal following, but we will no longer be patronizing this local establishment.

Very much a country diner feel and the food to match. I loved my “snooty fox breakfast”. Took me back to my southern roots. Was very busy early so I’d say it’s a popular spot. The service was fantastic as well. We will definitely be back.

I'm old school and really liked it here. Portions were great, tastes were great, and prices reasonable. The fact I gave atmosphere 3 stars should be viewed as a positive. Had breakfast and the Benedict's were excellent. The "other potatoes" are a must. Don't be shy, so ask for one of their homemade salsas to jack up those potatoes even more.

I'm not vegetarian, but I went with the Veggie Burrito and I was not disappointed -- delicious, great serving size, and a very warm and welcoming environment. Thank you!
