The atmosphere is a blend of a historic neighborhood tavern with modern updates. Our server/bartender was friendly & offered helpful suggestions.
I was THRILLED to see several vegan options - much more than the standard beyond burger! My husband had the Reuben with tots, I had the vegan Italian beef with fries. Everything was delicious and portions were generous. We both ended up taking home leftovers.
I highly recommend the Crazy Fox!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 29, 2024
As we eat our way through Main Street St. Charles, Illinois, our next establishment was The Crazy Fox Bar and Grill. It felt like we walked into a piece of historic Saint Charles. A beautiful long wooden bar covered the right wall and dining tables filled in the remainder of the narrow establishment. It was quaint, well-maintained, and clean. There were T.V.s about the bar and lively music playing. The sound level was perfect, we could maintain a good conversation and still enjoy the music.
Most surprising was the extensive vegan menu. Nothing from the outside of the building would alert anyone of this vegan restaurant. What was often advertised was the Fish Fry Dinners. We ordered two Codfish Fish Fry Dinners, and a Chicken Avocado Wrap with a side of Roasted Vegetables. The Fish Fry Dinners were lightly breaded and delicious. The fries were thinly cut and seasoned to perfection. The Chicken Avocado Wrap was good, but pretty ordinary. The Roasted Vegetables were cut extremely small and overcooked to the point of being mushy.
The service was excellent. Our server Petrana was friendly, knew the menu, and was very attentive. She was very responsive when we indicated that we did not care for the roasted vegetables.
This was a great dining experience.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 6, 2022
We chose the Crazy Fox Bar and Grille for two reasons: (1) we had tickets to a show at the Arcadia Theater right across the street from the restaurant, and (2) they offer gluten-free options.
We had a nice time - just my son and me. We had some time before the show, so we had a leisurely dinner.
I had the Barbeque Sandwich (on a gluten-free bun). It came with homemade chips, which were outstanding. The BBQ was heavy on the sauce and served with pickles. The sandwich was good - the sauce was tasty, and it was enormous. It would be better if there were less sauce (my opinion only).
We also had the Fried Pork Sandwich, which came with fries. The Pork Sandwich was also excellent. But similar to the BBQ, it had too much sauce. The fries were perfect - seasoned nicely and crisp.
It was a great experience, one we will return to. Next time we'll ask them to be lighter on the sauce...Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Nov 26, 2023
We went here before a concert at the Arcada. The place was packed. It started out that we were waited on quickly but that didn't last unfortunately. I ordered a Buffalo chicken wrap and my husband got a burger. Our food came out in ok time however, my wrap was loosely wrapped ( food was mostly on the plate) and it had no sauce, buffalo or otherwise. I tried some and the chicken seemed as if it was cooked some time before or sat for a while. I was trying to go with the flow and just dump it on the plate and make a salad of it. To do this, however I needed some ranch or something. We never saw our server again. So I didn't end up eating it. She came by when we waived her down for the check, she noticed and asked if I didn't like it. I let her know it was cold and not at all a buffalo chicken wrap as it had no buffalo sauce. She asked if I wanted another one but we had to leave. Had been there an hour already at this point. She did take it off the bill. My husband liked his burger so I am sticking with 3 stars as I think they may have just been crazy busy and that caused the mishap.

We haven't been here in a while but I remember the reuben sandwich was good so we came back on a Wednesday evening. The sandwich was still good but the chips were a bit oily. We also tried the fried calamari which was good. I asked for giardiniera on the side but it was really salty. Service was quick and drinks were good.

Sorry - the food has gone downhill. Grilled chicken breast was obviously way frozen, then thoroughly overcooked. Cheese quesadilla appetizer was really just skimpy. Server was nice enough, but stretched too thin with too many tables....not her fault.
If you want ice cold beer in a raucous bar, it might be fine. You'll need to go elsewhere for decent bar food.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Sep 29, 2019
We were in the area and found this place that offers vegan options on yelp! Heck yeah let's go!!
The place is in downtown St. Charles a cute town to check out too.
When we walked in, its a cute little town bar with plenty of TVs to watch your favorite sports.
They have a long bar and plenty-of table seating. We picked our table by the back of the place. Initially it was kinda dark, but later during our lunch they turned up the lights. They also have electric slots in the corner.
Once we sat down they shared us both main menu and the vegan menu.
We decided to try the jack'ed quesadilla came with string fries, vegan sour cream and salsa. We shared and our lunch and this was a good dish to order.
They made it crispy on the outside and the jackfruit and red bell peppers, it was flavorful with vegan shredded cheese. We also ordered the beyond meat burger topped with vegan cheese and the fixings on a toasted brioche bun with a side of sweet potato tots! Wow the tots so cute, sweet and crispy that we ended up ordering a side of the sweet tots, no sharing here lol!
The burger was good, so simple we will get this again.
The staff here was all so friendly and attentive and making sure our water drinks were filled no need to ask.
And their two stalled women's bathroom looked like they were remodeled it stone and marble too, impressive!
I'm hoping they will have more options on their vegan menu like vegan Mac n cheese, vegan mozzarella cheese sticks, mock chicken nuggets, vegan chili, etc.
Overall, a good experience for lunch. We'll come back here again!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Kerrie B.Elburn, IL061Jul 11, 2023
Went here for happy hour and the bartender suggested these amazing peach margaritas. Probably the best margarita I have ever had and the bartender has incredible customer service. Never caught her name but she told me she moved here from Ukraine and I loved chatting with her. 10/10 recommend

Came back here again last weekend after an unintentional hiatus and was stoked to see all the vegan options! I have a couple vegan friends and try to eat vegan myself when I can, which can be tricky sometimes when dining out. I was so happy to discover their vegan menu had multiple items available too! Most places have one or two options at most, but Crazy Fox had a variety to choose from. I tried the vegan nachos which I've been craving more of since we left.
The service was great as well, and they're one of the few places I've found lately that serves food past 10 pm! Our waitress was attentive and more than willing to get whatever we needed. It was pretty busy when we were there too, so I was extra satisfied with the service given the crowd. Can't wait to come back!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jan 20, 2017Previous reviewLet me start by saying - if anyone has been to this location before Crazy Fox opened, you will not even recognize where you are. The entire inside has been redone exquisitely! It was seriously a dump before the new owners opened there. New paint and tile everywhere, new tables, new flooring, new bathrooms, new everything! Their bathrooms are immaculate. It even smells new when you walk in. A lot of labor and love has gone into its rehab, and you can tell.
One of the new owners greeted us as soon as we walked in. My husband and I went on a Monday so it wasn't very busy, but I've talked to other people who have tried Crazy Fox on the weekend and said it was packed. We sat at a high-top table and were immediately welcomed by our waitress and a trainee. The wait staff was very friendly and attentive without being pushy whatsoever. Being a new restaurant they seemed very familiar with the menu and beer selection already, which I thought was impressive given all the beer choices!
My husband and I each ordered a bottled craft beer which they brought out with chilled glasses. I give them major points for that! There's nothing better than drinking a cold beer out of a freshly chilled glass, and there are way too many bars and restaurants that don't bother with it. We tried their nachos for an appetizer and my husband had the chicken guacamole wrap while I had the buffalo chicken wrap. Everything was delicious! Their nachos were good - more of what I would consider non-traditional nachos because they're topped with chili. (I know there are plenty of places that make nachos this way, but I typically think of nachos in the meat/cheese/pico de gallo/sour cream/guacamole kind of way.) Both our wraps were DELICIOUS, though! Nice and big, fresh and plentiful amounts of grilled chicken, and a nice toasting on both sides of the wrap. They both had great flavor, and I know it sounds silly, but even the lettuce on the wraps was good. While a lot of places might just throw some boring iceberg on there, they actually used some nice, fresh green and red lettuce on both of them. Each of the wraps came with a choice of side, so my husband got the fresh baked chips and I got the fresh-cut fries. The chips were good, but the fries were sooooooo tasty. I'm usually more of a thick, potatoey fry person, but their fries are thin-cut and surprised me with how delicious they were! You can tell they're freshly cut each day. Perfectly cooked and with the perfect amount of salt. If you're a fan of crispy fries, then these aren't for you...but you'll really be missing out if you don't get them. Our waitress knew exactly when to ask us if we were ready for another round, too. Another small, but important, detail :)
I am definitely looking forward to coming back here and trying more of the menu. It's in a great location across from the Arcada, and I'm sure it's only a matter of time before it's completely packed with patrons. Can't wait to bring some other friends and family here, too, to spread the good word about this place!
