Well, fuck. I hate the idea of a negative review of a local business.
So as much as I’m about to shit all over this place, feel free to check them out for yourself. I’m assuming they are going to move around from time to time but they just opened up at the Home Hardware parking lot on Memorial. 
I don’t know if there is such thing as a sad drum roll, but if there is nows the time to play it in your head for this restaurant's score...
3.5/10
Ok, by far the worst score I’ve ever given, I mean, unless you count my “sorta kinda review” of McDonald's witch didn’t even get a score, link here if you want to check that out.
So let’s get on to it, the good, the bad, and the ok.
The good.
Fox of the run's other location is more like a coffee shop, they specialize in things like soup and salad with more of a lunch vibe. This food truck, however, specializes in burgers, fries, hotdogs, and that sort of thing. I like how it’s different. Always nice to have something new to try.
The cooking was done outside. When I went there was a high wind slowing down the cooking process. The cook personally came up to us and apologized for the slow cooking time. It’s hard to get that level of customer service these days. It was blazing hot out and he’s stressing out cooking next to a fire and he was still polite as can be. I love that shit. Kindness is free, figure it out, people!
The ok.
The fries were that thin kind of fry. The more thin a fry is, the more oil it sucks up making the flavour more intense. To some, this is good and to others it’s bad. It tastes less... potatoee? Yes, potatoee is definitely a word, shut up! They are also heavily salted, witch again, some people like. Man reviewing French fries is challenging because they all taste similar and it’s mostly preference. So taste aside, lots of oil + lots of salt = probably not that good for you.
This place literally just opened so I only tried 3 things. The Fox burger, the double Fox burger, and the fries. So anything else gets an ok rating because I never tried it.
The bad.
Ok, it’s the time we have all been waiting for, the bad! Isn’t this shit just more fun to hear about? Ok, I got a list. Let’s get started.
Imagine you had some bread. It’s a nice, thick, dense bread. Now imagine you have a bowl of water with salt and pepper mixed in. Take that bread and just let it soak in that water mixture then take a big bite. Congratulations! You now know what my burger tasted like.
Seriously, the patty was thick but somehow soft and squishy. What the fuck do you do with soft meat anyway? * raises eyebrow * it was also weirdly wet. Normally when a burger is wet, it’s from the grease, which honestly, I don’t always mind. More grease can just mean more flavour but this was so much my bun was just soaked. Nasty.
According to the menu the fox burger (as in their signature burger) had no bacon on it, but the double fox burger dose. That shit makes no sense whatsoever. A double means an extra patty and well fucking double what’s already on the burger. Now obviously even they don’t think that makes any fucking sense because they forgot the Goddam bacon anyway. That’s pretty fucking annoying seeing as how there was a 5$ difference between the 2 burgers. Most expensive bacon ever and I didn’t even get to fucking eat it.
Ok, so one more complaint, their generator. Now, I may be just a dumb ass, but, to my knowledge, if you use a generator, it works by charging a battery and then using that battery to provide power. Well, their fucking generator was louder than my asshole on Taco Tuesday. So they could get a better quieter generator or God forbid, charge the battery before they open. I like to eat my wet sloppy mush burgers in peace, thank you very much!
Conclusion.
There are lots of places in Thunder Bay to try so I’d recommend almost anywhere else first. That being said, I only went the 1 time and tried the 3 things. The prices aren’t to bad so feel free to try it out yourself and support local. In case it wasn’t obvious, this food is different than there other location so maybe try that out too.
Thanks for reading. Please share or comment. Peace out. Love you all.
