Fox & Goose Public House

Edward Hernandez 3 months ago

Big beautiful space decorated with many reminders of London. They are open extremely early morning for breakfast and they have a wonderful menu with all types of food including healthy options for everything. It is a mix of restaurant pub and event space in a very hipster part of town. The food was quite good but the one thing you will remember the most is the greeting you receive when you enter and exit.

There’s something special about **Fox & Goose Public House**. It’s a true Sacramento staple, full of history and memories for so many of us — myself included. And because of that, this review comes with a little bit of love… and a little bit of tough honesty. If I were rating purely on nostalgia and all the amazing breakfasts I’ve had here over the years, this would be an easy five stars. This visit, though, felt more like a solid four. The food was fine — not bad at all — just not as memorable as it used to be. Portions seemed noticeably smaller than I remember, and some of the flavor felt a bit lackluster compared to the magic Fox & Goose used to deliver. We ordered the quiche of the day. It was pretty good, nicely cooked, but it didn’t have that “wow” factor or bold personality that makes you think about it later. I had the Athena omelette, and unfortunately, it didn’t quite shine. It mostly tasted like tomatoes, and I barely saw or tasted the feta. It just didn’t have much presence or depth — not bad, just not memorable. Now let’s talk about the reason we really came: the olallieberry scones with Devonshire cream. These used to be legendary. There was always that excitement of ordering them — the only question was how many more we could squeeze in before leaving. This time, they were still good… but smaller, and missing that magic touch I remember. And the $2 extra charge for the Devonshire cream felt a little unnecessary. It just didn’t hit the same way. On the bright side, the coffee was great (as always), and the sides that came with the plates were good too. Service and atmosphere still carry that cozy, classic feel. I may sound harsh, and that’s honestly not my intention. I love this place. I’ve had so many great memories here over the years, which is why I think I felt the difference so strongly this time. It just felt more like a typical diner visit instead of the iconic Sacramento experience I’ve always associated with Fox & Goose. That said — the food was not terrible at all. It’s still a solid spot for breakfast, and people should absolutely go try it and enjoy it. I’m giving four stars because it still deserves support and customers. I just hope it finds that magic again, because longtime fans know how special it can truly be.

Ate here 12/27/2025: Nice staff & ambiance, bland food. Ordered fish n chips, BBC fries, patsy, chive scones, and vegetable masala. Nothing really had any flavor or salt, the fish n chips were room temp, scones were really hard and crunchy, and the BBC fries were soggy. Side salad with patsy was really good though. Total price was roughly $100 without tip. I had high expectations with the reviews but was sadly let down.

Really cute British pub. Food is very good. The pub burger was excellent as was the English breakfast (could use some black pudding for full authenticity) great cocktails and beer selection

I came here for Saturday breakfast. It was quite a long wait. We were told 20 minutes, but it took more than a half hour. I wanted to try something different, so I ordered the New Yorker omelette which had smoked salmon, cream cheese, and chives along with potatoes and a crumpet. I enjoyed it, although I felt like the smoked salmon was a little too overpowering in the flavor, so I'd probably get something else if I came here again. I enjoyed the ambiance; it used to be an old paint factory, but it was remodeled very nicely. Our table wobbled a lot and spilled our coffee and drinks quite a bit. That could be a quick fix if the management gives it some attention. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
