‘Tis the season when folks might need a convenient, homey place to meet up with family and friends located near major routes (or just outside the retail madness). We were in need of such a meeting spot last week, and a friend suggested that we try The Fox Den in Woburn (MA) based on its location being midway for friends coming together.
Great pick: super hospitality, a comfort food menu including Polish and Portuguese favorites, creative cocktails, and a low noise level that made for easy conversation. Shoutout to our server who was especially kind and attentive to us, a group of longtime friends who don’t get to see each other nearly enough.
My favorite item of the evening was the cacoila sandwich my husband ordered. I enjoyed the subtle Portuguese-style spicing of this slow roasted pork dish enough that I want to add it to my repertoire.
Very much a family and friends vibe. I’d be grinning if this were my local spot. Easy parking in the lot across the street.
P.S. As a bonus, The Fox Den is right next to the Woburn location of Gene’s Flatbread Cafe. We’d planned to grab a container of Gene’s dumpling soup before the gathering and stash it in an insulated bag for a later meal. We scratched that plan because some of our friends were already waiting for us. Next time!
