text: I finally had the opportunity to check out Leroy Fox on Friday night, and I was not disappointed.  Since the weather turned a little cooler, we decided to sit outdoors.  The patio has a very nice and cozy vibe and I like the decor. \n\nI had a hard time deciding between 4 and 5 stars for this review... so I will break it down individually. \n\nService: 5 stars - our server was friendly, professional, and on top of things. Way to go! \n\nAppetizer: 3 stars - we ordered the pimento cheese with grilled pita points.  The pimento cheese was a bit on the sweet side which I found a little odd... I would prefer a sharper or spicier flavor. However, the pita was on pointe! It was freshly made in house and had excellent texture & flavor.  I loved the pita but not sure I would want the pimento cheese again. \n\nFried chicken: 5 stars - I don't normally order fried chicken, but had heard good things about theirs.  I went with 1/4 North which consists of a chicken breast and wing.  This fried chicken is without doubt the best I have had in a long, long time!  When I bit into it, there was an explosion of flavor in my mouth... wow!  The crust was crispy and seasoned perfectly. The meat was tender and juicy.    They brine the chicken for 24 hours prior to cooking it and it was absolutely fabulous.  I am not sure what they put into the coating mixture, but it was yummy - I think I detected a hint of chili powder or cayenne pepper.               \n\nCornbread muffin: 1 star - I love a good home-style southern cornbread. Sadly, on my visit, the cornbread was dry and tasteless... it was about as appetizing as a piece of cardboard. I took one bite and was done. \n\nWhite pepper gravy: 3 stars - I am not normally a huge fan of gravy, but this was pretty tasty. They serve it on the side so it doesn't make anything on your plate soggy (which I appreciated). \n\nMac & Cheese: 2 stars - this was the most disappointing part of my meal and I wish I had skipped it. The mac & cheese was made out of Cavatappi (corkscrew) pasta which is ok but just not what I expected.  Also, they used a white cheese as the base. Not a problem, but I would have preferred a much stronger, sharper cheddar sauce.  Overall the cheesy sauce was just not very flavorful.  I was really expecting a more traditional southern mac & cheese like the casserole-style that my grandma used to make. \n\nWine: 3 stars - I had a sauvignon blanc for $7.50. It was ok but served at a little warmer temp than I would have preferred. \n\nBeer: 5 stars - I tasted the Cottonwood pumpkin ale and loved that it was served in a glass rimmed with cinnamon & brown sugar.  Yummy! \n\nCost:  3 stars - I think the prices are a-ok.  Overall, I think our tab came to around $50 for 2 beers, 1 glass of wine, an appetizer, and 2 entrees (before tip).
