Foxy's Restaurant

The inspiration

Foxy's has been feeding Glendale from the same wooden A-frame on West Colorado Street since 1964¹ .

Who's behind it

Burt Richardson started the Foxy's chain, designed the Glendale A-frame, and operated it himself .

What to order

• Eggs Benedict, in many varieties: an entire page of them, from lox to crab .^1,2
• Anything off the gargantuan menu, which skews Mexican but covers griddle classics, burgers, steaks and spaghetti .^1,3,4

What people are saying

Critics keep returning to the room itself: Time Out points to the dark wooden planks, the dropped V rafter along the ceiling and the arrowhead-shaped fireplace hoods that keep the interior cozy³ .

Why you should try it

Little has changed here since 1964, down to the cabin-like wood ceilings, so it feels like stepping into a different era of Southern California dining^4,1 . With a patio, fireplaces and a menu that runs from breakfast classics to Mexican platters and cocktails, it works for any meal of the day^5,3,1 .
