After 15 years as a beloved Fort Lauderdale brunch staple, Foxy Brown is getting ready to serve its last meals. The Victoria Park spot will close on Sunday, May 10, owner Elliot Wolf confirmed, following a stretch of rising costs and shifting dining patterns that made the space harder to sustain. Regulars have already begun plotting farewell visits to squeeze in one last oversized plate.
Wolf shared the news on Instagram, writing, "After fifteen incredible years, I've made the difficult decision to close Foxy Brown," according to Miami New Times. The outlet reports that the restaurant will close following Mother’s Day dinner service on Sunday, May 10.
Why Wolf Cited Rising Costs And Competition
According to the Sun Sentinel, as relayed by Miami New Times, Wolf pointed to rising lease-renewal and insurance costs along with increased local competition as the primary reasons behind the decision. Those same pressures have forced a number of South Florida restaurants to reevaluate whether long-running neighborhood spots can stay put at current rents and insurance rates.
Where Staff And The Brand Could Land
Be Nice Restaurant Group, which owns Foxy Brown, also operates Coconuts, G&B Oyster Bar, Top Hat Deli and Lunchroom. That lineup gives the company internal options for affected employees, and many staffers are expected to move to sister restaurants as the group reorganizes operations and absorbs team members into nearby kitchens.
One Last Brunch
The Foxy Brown’s current address is 476 N. Federal Hwy in Victoria Park, and Foxy Brown’s website lists hours and contact details for guests planning final visits. Fans hoping to stop by before the doors close can check the site for the latest information.
