   FoxBarn is great for a fun night out on the deck listening to music. Seems like there's lots of new staff which added to some confusion around seating. Our server was one of the worst I've ever had (Liz C) - rude, slow... and rude. If the tip hadn't been added in I would've left without a tip.

   This was the worst dining experience I have ever had. Actually it was a non-dining experience, because after my friend and I sat down, we waited over an hour for a waitress to come by. No one ever did, even after repeated requests at the hostess stand and of other waitresses. Unbelievable. We left after an hour of being ignored.

    A very pleasing-looking space and staff was very friendly. Food was average as fries were soggy and lukewarm. Looking forward to visiting during warm months and eating on the deck.

    The happy hour pricing was good. However, if you order items ala carte, it is a little pricey. Nineteen dollars for 3 cornbread orders is too much money. The food quality was good, and the drinks and beer were fine. This is more of a pub style menu then a traditional family sit down dinner menu. There is also no children's menu to choose items from.

    Wanted to like this place - menu looked good, and have visited them in prior iterations back to the Boathouse. I showed up for my reservation, on time, to a completely empty building. The upstairs appears to be set for a bridal shower, and there was a sign for the Fox Barn to go down a stairwell to the right. I found the stairwell completely pitch black. Using a phone light, I went down. Even after finding a light switch, the stairs were way too dark to be considered safe. Once downstairs, it looked good, but was completely vacant. TVs were on, tables were set, but nobody was there. I waited a few minutes, looked around, called into the kitchen to see if anyone was there, and after finding nobody, I left. I understand there's a labor shortage, but this isn't reasonable. Went down the street to PJ's and had a great lunch.

    Went for lunch. The lighting was very dim. The brisket had more fat than meat in two of our meals. The burger was requested medium rare but was cooked well done. Service was good and the wings were okay but disappointed overall.

    This was our first time here and during the weekday for lunch because we just wanted to get out on a sunny winter day and experience something new! We went for the onion soup and it was as good as we hoped for with lots of the essential yummy goopy cheese on the top of the crock! The "fish & chips" was good - we liked the combination of fishy stuff, especially the shrimp. The fish inside the fried outside was moist, yay! It's a lunch portion, so don't expect a ton or big pieces, but what we were served was an ample amount for lunchtime. Heads up about acoustics for those looking for a good place to have conversation and not be bombarded by sound all around from audio/video stuff: the walls are lined with tv screens! And all the surfaces are hard (walls, floor, ceiling), so nothing in the architecture or design is "hearing friendly" from an acoustics standpoint. That's par for the course in the world of "minimalist/bar" design in this era, but still important to note for those seeking dining spaces that cater to conversation without bothersome "audio competition" from the background. That's especially true for any dining venue seeking to make a welcoming environment for the 50+ target market where hearing challenges for speech comprehension in the presence of background sound is a real/known issue. We asked to be seated in a corner and to have the tvs/audio near us turned off so as not to be a challenge to our conversation, and with only a few tables filled this particular lunchtime day, they happily complied! The "noise/sound" experience may not be one that every diner will care about - but definitely IS one that plenty of people with time/interest/money to dine out a lot DO care about. If you're someone who likes lots of sports on tv screens everywhere while you drink/dine, then this might be your perfect environment (a.k.a. your "cup of tea" or, as is more befitting, your "stein of beer!").

    We miss the upstairs space for indoor dining! I know, change is hard, but the quiet option is no longer. We opted for a pub style vs. full meal supper. Brisket nachos and onion soup were disappointing, Caesar salad too drenched in dressing. Won’t order them again. We’ve been coming to Fox Barn for decades (yup, we’re old!), it’s local and has always been fun (the calamari, which disappeared from the menu ages ago, was the best in the area!), so we may venture back for a proper burger or a dinner option. At this point, we prefer sister restaurant, Avola, and Cedar Hollow.

    Our experience didn’t begin well. We sat at our table for about 14 minutes before even being greeted and acknowledged by the server. All the while, the hostess sat at her station near the door looking at her phone. The bartender at the bar had five customers. At about the 15 minute mark—we were ready to get up and leave which we told the server. Her response was with an apology and that she was just told she had a table. Once we ordered, the food came out timely and hot. My French onion soup was a good 10 out of 10. My partner had the quesadillas, he said, which were very good—though, a bit sloppy to eat. We then got our entrées. He said his burger was excellent being a half pound and fire grilled. I ordered the place that had spareribs (5 of them with lots of meat), chicken legs and two sides which was chili and french fries which are natural cut. The food was very good, though the barbecue was much more spicy to my liking. I hought that it would be a brown sugar type barbecue sauce but there definitely was way too much Cayenne than I prefer. Lastly, we ordered a dessert to share which was supposed to be monkey bread with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I took one bite and could not eat it. It was not what I would expect monkey bread to be which would be hot and gooey. It was room temperature and did not seem fresh so we sent it back. Overall, it was not too bad. Not good enough that I would go again though.

    The Fox Barn at Twenty9 was the place to go for great food and live music on Friday nights before COVID-19, but on a recent visit, the food was mediocre, the service was poor, and the Friday night live music was wonderful. You now have two choices: eat in the pub downstairs or reserve buffet tickets for a table upstairs where the band plays. I cannot recommend the Fox Barn at Twenty9 anymore.

    It took a while to get a server to the table. Once the server came to the table, she was attentive but we had asked for appetizers to come out before the entree - everything ended up coming out all at once. Overall, not a big deal but our main dish got a little cold while we were enjoying apps.

    Busy night. No parking caused us to drive around for 20 minutes. Service was slow due to being so busy. Glad the table was inside. The deck area was really crowded. Since we live in Delaware, might not come often. We’ll come back again. Loved the band. Chatter Band.

    We had high hopes. The atmosphere was great. The food was just ok. The problem was the server. We understand that restaurants are understaffed and try to be patient. It was a beautiful night and we were not in any hurry but our server (although very nice) was absent for most of our meal. We would have liked other beverages but by the time she came it was too late. I notice the tables around us had servers who were attentive so not sure what happened.

    Enjoyed our first trip here. Beautiful outdoor space. Food was good, better than we expected. We thought this was a bar that served food. But it is a restaurant with an excellent selection of beer on tap. Sever was attentive and helpful, food just a tad slow, nothing horrible. we will definitely be returning here.
