Foxs on the River, Batavia IL - April 17

Rating - 9.4

Great family place...several places have been in the same location in the past - Venice Tavern and Sean Michael's....new owners had a restaurant in Orland back in 1963, then opened one on SW Highway in Oaklawn...and this one opened in January of 2010 (Jerry the Manager is a great guy, very nice, and told me the history)......although we just found out recently it was reopen.

First impression is: ITS CLEAN and LIGHT. They did a great job of remodeling, new flat screen tvs in the bar area, clean game room for the kids with their flat screen showing Sponge Bob and a popcorn machine.......

The rest is basically the same, but its light and bright. They still have the awesome deck overlooking the river, and the pizza oven is just as good.

We arrived around 5:45 pm on Saturday night and enjoyed the $2.50 import beers and GREAT PIZZA. Kids robbed me of all my cash - headed to the game room - and we enjoyed some peace. Hot Mamma had the stuffed crab as an app and it was awful (looked horrible, greasy) and we also had some cheese sticks (great). Pizza is a HOME RUN....SO GOOD!

Sara was our friendly/efficient server, and everything went well.

It will be even better when the patio opens as it warms up.

Great spot!
