Where do I begin? Well, with the great food! From the photos online and all of the other reviews, I knew we just HAD to try this place. I've heard so much about it from other folks and figured, it's sad they are closing at the end of December, so why not support a great local business and two great folks who give it their all, Patrick and Katie. When the food came out, it was something you'd see on a Gordon Ramsey show, absolutely fabulous! I ordered a chicken type dish which came with broccoli, some kind of ham and also the best mashed potatoes I've ever eaten in my life! My honey got a pasta bowl with lightly browned shrimp, smoked bacon pieces and peas. The cream in the pasta was to die for, SO SO good, I can taste it right now, just writing out this review. We saw other folks having bread, so we just had to put an order in. The bread was the best bread I've ever tried in my life! It was crispy and crunchy on top, just right. Our final was the donuts. My honey describes them as better than at the county fair, which is a fair statement because they were absolutely awesome! It's so sad to see a great business like this close, but I do hope my post has talked you into checking it out before they close in December 2025. Best wishes to Katie and Patrick. Hang in there!

Best chefs in the state. The sauce kings. Anything on the menu is good. I have never had a bad experience. They set the bar. I've dined at hundreds of restaurants. Anytime I am out to eat with people and they ask how my food is, I more than often say it was average. That is because fox and crow sets the standard in Wisconsin on how good food can be.

I can’t believe I missed this place for over three years. What a great vibe immediately when you walk in. The smells were inviting and the food backed it up. My son and I shared a bunch of things and it’s hard to say which was best. Jaime was such a great server, she knew the menu and was so attentive to us. Will definitely be back for the Crisp Pork Belly and Dates

This was our second time to Fox and Crow. It was equally as excellent as our first time. We both had the Scarpriello. Loved it! It does not reheat overly well. Indulge yourself and eat the whole serving at the restaurant. We also had “The Goat Cheese” appetizer. Super good!

Impressive. Fox and Crow has been on our list for a while and we finally did it. We waited way too long to try it… everything was exceptional. Atmosphere was intimate, food was perfectly portioned and service was warm & welcoming. The Blueberry Mocktail was pretty and actually really good, I loved it. Rare in my opinion to find a good mocktail that actually tastes good, my husband said the same about iced tea was really good. For dinner we ordered the crab cakes and the lobster/shrimp risotto. Ohhh they were so good. The husband had the smoked olives small plate also. We loved everything, also our server Erin was great. She was very attentive and friendly. Great experience, our new favorite date night spot.

By far my favorite place for fine dining in this entire area of Wisconsin. Fox and Crow was where I spent my first Valentine's Day with my partner, along with every Valentine's & anniversary dinner that followed, topped off with the dinner we had after we got engaged. With the help of some advance planning, this was the bottle they had waiting at our table for us when we got to that dinner, and was the same wine we had shared that first Valentine's dinner together. The attention to detail, the kindness of the staff, the quality of the food; it's all second to none!

Just a completely stellar meal. It's hard to pull off really clean, yet exceptionally tasty food these days and Fox & Crow absolutely nails it. They have great service, a diverse yet simple menu, and the perfect atmosphere for a first date, or dinner with the whole family. The cucumber salad was so refreshing, and the walleye was one of the best fish dishes we've had in a long time. The carbonara and the chicken marsala plates were licked clean as well. A great wine list and a nice selection of canned cocktails rounded out the meal nicely. And the carrot cake disappeared in seconds. It's a must try place. Enjoy!

WOW. Unexpected to have this fine a meal in Ripon, WI. Our food was EXCEPTIONAL. My wife and I agreed that this was the best meal we've had since we were in France and Spain two years ago. Dishes were unpretentious but super tasty; portion sizes were just right. Two at our table had lobster/shrimp risotto: perfectly prepared, although full disclosure there was much more shrimp than lobster. I had the walleye (not normally a fan btw) which was grilled and seasoned to perfection and plated atop the most flavor-layered pilaf I've ever eaten. My wife had crab cakes, which, despite being a big order gamble in the midwest, she loved. Our server Katie was impeccably attentive and a killer bartender (servers mix your drinks here). The space isn't very big but 20-foot ceilings and thoughtfully spaced booths helped to dissipate some of the noise. Also we really liked the antique tin ceiling. Can't say enough about this place.

My first time dining here. Easily one of the best dining experiences in the area. Great focused menu with quality everything and great service and cool atmosphere. I had the walleye and the smoked olives as an app. Walleye was great, served over a red pepper rice and broccolini which were great too. The smoked olives were awesome and unique and they making their way onto my BBQ catering menu.

I really enjoyed this place. Food was great. Service was amazing. I had no complaints. I loved both mine and my husbands dishes.
But, I’ve tried calling 3 times every different day to make reservations and i can never get an answer. The online said business hours were open. So I’m not sure. It’s also unfortunate that they don’t do take out. I would like to dine in and take out. Especially being pregnant- sometimes I just want something delicious to take home! Water in your ankles is an actual thing - ligament pains too! LOLOL 🤣❣️

First visit (of many to come) to a smoking small Bistro with a selection of tasty options for foodies. We had the smoky complex gnocchi and super savory black truffle sacchetti. The lobster carbonara is...Wow! Appetizers, entres, desert. All YUM! Supported by warm, super friendly and attentive service.
Fox & Crow fires on all cylinders, it is a MAJOR winner! 🏆🏆🏆 So glad it's in our town! 👌
...but don't come often, don't want it overrun! 🤫🫣😏
Truffle Sacchetti is always smoking! 🔥👌 and the foccacia! Yummy! 👍👌

Unfortunately we were seated right by the door on a very cold evening. Our reservation was for 4:15 and we were there a few minutes early. Only two tables were occupied but the server said we couldn’t be moved to another table. I had the tenderloin medallions and my friend had the chicken Marsala. The taste was very good for both dishes but the medallions were more medium than medium rare as ordered, it was also lukewarm as were the potatoes. The broccolini was tasty but cold. It was hard for me to rate 4 stars because overcooked steak and barely warm potatoes would normally be a deal killer for me. But the taste was exceptional so wouldn’t feel right going lower.

Every bite of food brought a smile to our face, the vibes of the restaurant are top notch and the staff is incredible. You can tell they truly care about making sure your experience is one to remember. Definitely a 10/10 and we cannot wait to come back! If you visit you need to order the focaccia and pineapple rum cake!

Just the absolute best!! Any time we go to Fox and Crow, I am overly impressed by the customer service and personable nature of the staff; as well as the quality of the food. I’ve never had a meal here that I haven’t absolutely loved. And I’ve tried many items off of the menu.. 😆 Last night we ordered an assortment of appetizers that were just phenomenal! My favorites last night were the brussel sprouts, goat cheese, deviled eggs, and the dates! My go to entree is the black truffle sacchetti. It’s just delicious and has such bold flavor! Jaime was our server last night. She was so friendly and welcoming to our group. She was very attentive and always ensured we had everything we needed. Thank you so much Jaime for your outstanding service! And thank you to the rest of the staff for doing some amazing things here in Ripon! 🤩 We will definitely be back soon 😊

During our recent visit to Fox and Crow in Ripon, Wisconsin, we had an exceptional dining experience, thanks to Chef Patrick and his team. The restaurant offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements the friendly and attentive service we received throughout our meal.
We decided to try a variety of small plates, each thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The standout dishes for us were the Shrimp and Lobster Risotto and the Steak Bolognese. The risotto was rich and creamy, with generous portions of tender shrimp and lobster that added a delightful sweetness to the dish. The Steak Bolognese was equally impressive, perfectly cooked with a robust and flavorful sauce that left us wanting more.
Overall, Fox and Crow delivered an outstanding culinary experience. Whether you're looking for an evening out or a special occasion, this restaurant is a fantastic choice. Chef Patrick’s creativity and passion for food shine through in every dish, making it a must-visit dining destination in Ripon.

My husband and I went to Fox and Crow for his birthday dinner and we were left speechless. Katie (part owner) was our waiter and she was absolutely lovely. For appetizers, we ordered the focaccia, chorizo stuffed dates, and deviled eggs. All were 10/10 but those deviled eggs…. We are still talking about them weeks later! I ordered the carbonara with shrimp which was incredible and my husband ordered the ribeye. The ribeye was cooked to perfection! We finished with the carrot cake which did not disappoint. We also got to meet Patrick (head chef + part owner) and he was incredibly gracious, humble, and so talented! Overall, our experience is something we will talk about for years to come. We will most certainly be back!

A hidden and necessary gem in the fine-dining desert of central Wisconsin! 🙌 WOW. The staff was so fun and welcoming, the service was fast, then dining room was special and cozy. Our party of 9 had an amazing evening!
The flavors are BOLD. My husband and I have pretty developed palates, so some of the group thought things were *too* spicy or *too* salty, but we were grateful that things weren’t lacking in flavor!
Our favorite dishes were the Brussels sprouts and patatas bravas! We were a bit underwhelmed by dessert, but we expected this based on the menu offerings.

Food and service were next level! We felt extremely well taken care of by our server, and every single dish we tried was so delicious we couldn't stop eating. We ended up getting 4 small plates and splitting an entree. We tried every vegetarian dish on the menu. The creme brulee and blueberry crush cocktail were also divine. This is the kind of place we'd have to go on vacation to a big city to experience. We will definitely be back! New favorite.

My boyfriend and I had dinner at Fox and Crow last night. It was our first time there. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We normally don't pick "higher end" restaurants because it can make us feel uncomfortable and out of place. From the moment we walked in the door until we left, we were not only comfortable but felt like we were having dinner with family. Katie was our server and she took the time to get to know us and answer any of our questions.
The food was outstanding! We had two starters before dinner and they were the best appetizers we have ever had. Dinner was phenomenal as well!! Pat has culinary skills that I have never had the chance to experience before! My boyfriend has been to Hells Kitchen for dinner and said this dinner/experience was even better.
Beautiful concept for a dining experience. We can not wait to go again!

If you are a pasta fan, the carbonara and truffle pasta are among the best I've had. The banana creme brulee is also amazing. The menu and quality feels like a chef curated experience, and it delivers. The pricing is extremely fair for the quality, and the interior vibe is calm and relaxed. We can't wait to return.

Man....not even sure where to start.
#1- For kicking the door down in Ripon WI where any style other than meat and potatoes may not fly, credit to you all for getting it.
#2- We've been twice, and amazing how the menu changes EVERY time to give those who want different their satisfaction
#3- Product. Wow. Sure, you order a steak or fish and that is what it is alone. Here? Great quality, BUT! The sauces, marinades, and love that go into every dish are through the rood. Who wants to take a picture of an empty plate, but I should have. Literally every time our plates have been entirely empty with a frantic fork trying its best to capture all the leftover sauce alone.
#4- The staff. All ridiculously friendly and helpful- ready to answer any and all questions and go above and beyond the talk of food to talk of their passion.
#5- Eat there. Make the trip if more than a few miles away from them, and enjoy what they have.
#6- Not a relative or worker of Fox and Crow whatsoever. Family- not by blood, but we sure feel like it every time we visit.
#7- Cheers Fox and Crow. Keep doing what you are doing, and we wish you only the best moving forward!!

The best meal I’ve ever had. They are pumping out flavors and hometown family service that a five star restaurant strives to do. It seriously unbelievable. The bacon wrapped dates, pork belly, goat cheese, walleye, schnitzel, black truffle pasta, and chocolate mousse was all cooked perfectly. The textures of everything were spot on. Flavors contradict each other but yet work ridiculously well together. It was well worth the 40 minute trip. We will be back no question. I do recommend going on Resy and making a reservation.

Katie and Patrick you guys are so special! ♥️ Joe is amazing chef as well, there is not anything he can’t make taste good!!

This place has one of the best services we've ever encountered from a food restaurant. My wife is on call and got called into the hospital and they insisted on driving me to a hotel since I didn't have anywhere else to go and I did not have a car. And everyone was very very willing to help which means a lot! Plus the food is really good and my wife liked it reheated. So we had to go back the next day! Overall I would recommend this place to anyone!

I would give anything to dine here for the first time again. The atmosphere is well crafted and every bite is inspired. Owners Patrick and Katie masterfully direct the service and kitchen. Every dish was worth its weight in gold. Worth every penny, worth the drive, and worth keeping on eye on any restaurant this couple touches. This is a must-try.

I visited Fox and Crow in July, my first night visiting family for a week. And then I went back two more times...and wish I'd gone back even more! It was ALL incredible and impeccable! The food is delicious and artistically presented. The decor is delightful, beautiful, and cozy. The service is top tier; attentive but not intrusive. They have beautifully curated beers, wines, and craft batched cocktails to appease even the pickiest of palettes. The attention to detail is world class from beginning to end.

Had a great dinner last evening. Not only was the food excellent but Patrick and Katie were very gracious host. Both working the restaurant to make sure our experience was enjoyable. Started with the stuffed dates. Shared a reasonable bottle of wine which was excellent followed by pasta. The meals were full of flavor , fresh and delish. Did I say fresh. Which is tuff with a creamy pasta. The sauces were the star , creamy but yet not too thick and an explosion of flavor. We will be back. Just what we needed in the area. A great restaurant without charging a months rent. Thank you Patrick and Katie for the pleasant evening

First time I have written a review for dining, this was hands down one of my top meals in 56 years of filling my belly!!! The staff, service and quality of the food was absolutly fantastic, I honestly couldnt wait to post this!!!! I had read a couple of prior posts and was funny to read one regarding the social exceptance of licking your plate, at one point while eating, that thought was in my head. I wish you continued success, and can't wait to come back.

By far the best restaurant in the Fox Valley, this is an absolute must try for all. We got the Brussels sprouts, pork belly, black truffle pasta and lobster risotto and finished it off with the cheesecake.

Start to finish 5 stars! Our party called ahead the day before for our "plant based" friend and the chef was quite accommodating. We started with the brussel sprouts & papa's they were so delicious we devoured them almost instantly and got a second round of papa's (would have ordered more brussels too but didn't want to be over indulgent 😏). Everyone's entree was beautifully crafted and presented: the schnitzel, carbonara, lobster risotto, and plant based dish were enjoyed by all. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. A wonderful meal and time was had by all. 100% recommend 10 out of 10 would/will go again! Thank you chef Patrick & Katie! Hope to enjoy your passion & craft for many years to come!

My parents live locally in Greenlake, and my wife and I are in from the Chicago area. The folks took my wife and I here for my 40th birthday dinner. Holy smokes!!! This place was absolutely fantastic. Katie was our waitress, and such a sweetheart. She knew all the dishes and had really nice recommendations. The table got the 'almost famous pork belly'....well it should be famous, because it was delicious! I myself got the walleye, it had a hollandaise sauce the was killer!! The chocolate mousse dessert was also great. The service was great, food was even better, the staff was super friendly. I will definitely be back, and I would highly reccomend!!!

Absolutely devine culinary experience! Service is extremely friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. Patrick, the chef, is an artist. His flavors and presentation are nothing less than atounding! The menu changes as the season/fresh selections do so you'll always find something new and delicious....you can do no wrong as the chef can do no wrong. One of our party members was Vegan the chef whipped up something for him in the spot that was "absolutely delectable". Patrick and his staff have created something extremely unique and devine for the patrons of Ripon and anyone passing though looking for a 5 STAR experience!

Absolutely wonderful quaint little restaurant. Fox and crow has got a classy ambience and a family oriented staff I would recommend this place to any wandering travellers or rippon regulars eager to try a new spot. Had the Potato Gnocchi myself and it absolutely melts in the mouth. 10/10 would recommend. We were served by Katy who was a very lovely conversationalist who was an excellent server. If you live in Rippon and haven’t been to Fox and Crow, you’re missing out.

My wife, Tam, and I had a wonderful 10th Anniversary meal here last week. The place was hopping in the main dining room, which is open to the kitchen so you can see the "what's happenins" with the chef and crew. They put us in a wonderful room just off the main room that was quiet, cozy and beautifully done...just like the rest of the restaurant. We asked that our appetizers and shared entree all came at once, because this is how we "graze" and talk about our day. The service was very attentive but not disturbing, the food was fabulous (arugula and beet salad, formaggio di capra, and fresh lobster and shrimp risotto with fresh peas) and the wine list small and well chosen with some uncommon and good wines by the glass. We will be back and we honor the design and menu of this wonderful new Ripon restaurant.
