Red Fox but not Red Fox

There was some restaurant on the outskirts of the western suburbs called something like "Red Fox" and I used to think it was where Jimmy Hoffa was last seen. It was either on Grand River or something like that ... in the 80s and 90s the area wasn't very developed so the it was still the "outskirts."

I just googled "Red Fox" after watching The Irishman on Netflix and that's nowhere near the restaurant I was thinking of. Does anyone know or remember what I could be remembering? It looked kinda the same and I'm pretty sure "Fox" was in the name. Did they have multiple locations?

Quote:

Hoffa disappeared on July 30, 1975, after going out to a meeting with Anthony Provenzano and Anthony Giacalone.
^[54]
The meeting was arranged to take place at 2p.m. at the Machus Red Fox restaurant in
Bloomfield Township
, a suburb of Detroit. The Machus Red Fox was known to Hoffa; it had been the site of his son James' wedding reception.
^[55]
Hoffa wrote the date in his office calendar: "TG—2p.m.—Red Fox".

Machus Red Fox was located on Telegraph just south of Maple Rd. It is an Andiomo restaurant today.

Machus had several locations but not as the Red Fox; the other one that comes immediately to mind is the Fox and Hounds on N Woodward

Wasn't there a Machus Red Fox at the Great Oaks Mall in Rottenchester during the 80's ? That seemed rural then.

I'm a 60's Rochester guy.

For a while [[years) there was a Machus cafeteria on Adams Road, north of where it hits Woodward.
