We visited for their Wild Game themed meal. It was outstanding. The service was great. Our waitress was friendly and spent lots of time with us. They do lots of themed nights and unique menus which you can find on their socials. We had a great time and really enjoyed the food, drinks and atmosphere.

If we could give the Blue Ox 10 stars we would! From the food to the ambiance everything is amazing! When you walk in it's an absolutely fabulous vibe with a nice welcoming atmosphere. We love sitting in the bar area as it's a great show to watch the amazing bartenders work their magic. We have been in twice now as this is now our go to spot when we come to town. We have family that lives here and the Blue Ox too is there favorite place to go. Their cocktails are outstanding and their custom cocktails in particular their old fashioned are amazing. They have house made bourbon which is my husband's absolute favorite. Their espresso martinis are also a family favorite as well! The food is also amazing! I personally love the lobster shrimp scampi as the pasta is homemade and by far one of the best dishes I have ever had. Their steaks are also amazing and literally melt in your mouth. The baked brie appetizer is one of our favorites too. The servers and managers also go above and beyond to take care of you. From the servers and bartenders to the management they go out of their way to make you feel welcome and get you exactly what you want. We are counting down until we come back to town as the Blue Ox will be our first stop for sure as it is always fantastic every time we go. It is a hidden gem that everyone needs to know about and go to you will not be disappointed

I have not been to Blue Ox in maybe 7-8 years? I hosted a small, intimate event there today. The food was amazing as I remember it 8 years ago. The staff was very accommodating, patient, and professional. Joe, the general manager was FANTASTIC. He made sure every detail was taken care of and was at the event to make sure everything went smoothly. The venue is clean, modern, and can match any decor style. I would recommend Blue Ox over and over and over again for your event needs as well as your dining needs. Thank you, Joe and Blue Ox Team!

5 stars again. We come home bi-monthly and it never disappoints. The ambiance is great, and the food from start to finish is 5 stars. To start, we get the usual baked brie. This is the perfect way to start date night. A medley of fruit is baked with brie, topped with balsamic, and served with a lemon vinaigrette salad with walnuts + fresh baked bread. This time we also tried the watermelon and melon with burrata. Worth a shot, but was just OK. For our meals my fiancé got the salmon with couscous. She LOVED it. For my meal I always get the sun burger. The best burger in the metro Boston area!! Fresh smoked bacon and garlic aioli!! The service is always pretty solid. This time it was a touch slower and she input the allergy incorrectly, BUT, they have great management who came over prior to my food arriving and confirmed my allergy and assured me the kitchen would make my dish safe. The drink menu is expansive and I would recommend bourbon lovers to try the, "Bacon and legs!"

Was looking for a place to enjoy National Cheeseburger Day and I found this place on Yelp. Needless to say my plans were thrown off course when the bartender (Nate) convinced me to try the special, which was meatloaf. I can go back anytime for a burger, but the meatloaf was a limited time option. Glad he convinced me. Started out my meal with some fresh Great White oyesters - excellent brine and a nice finish. Could have easily eaten a dozen of these. Followed the oysters with the main course of the meatloaf. It was sitting on top of mashed potatoes, spinach and a nice demi-glace. And to add to the ambiance, Nate created the "bacon and legs" cocktail with a flamed orange. Loved the atmosphere and service in this place. Will absolutely return.

I was in town and was taken to this place for dinner because it was highly recommended. After spending time going trough the menu and spying on all the food around me, I chose the filet medallions. I ordered them medium-rare, and it was cooked perfectly. The meat was so tender and juicy that I switched to my butter knife to cut it up. The asparagus was extra thick and grilled to be soft on the outside with a nice little bite on the inside. The mashed potatoes were creamy and flavorful too.The wine reduction gravy was the perfect addition to bring all the flavors together. It was rich and it had a deep complex flavor. It really made the steak and potatoes even more delicious. I finished the meal by sharing the sticky toffee pudding for dessert which was also amazing.It was the perfect way to end a delicious meal. The service was excellent too. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable, and he made sure that we had everything we needed. Overall, the food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone with time in the area.

My family came here to celebrate my nieces birthday. Compared to its reputation before, it has become more family friendly as there were lots of young kids around. Prices also match the casualness of it as well which we were surprised about. My sister and I shared their baked stuffed Brie as well as an order of mussels. Most people got their burgers and my sister got their half Chicken and Herb Roasted Boneless. The Brie was stuffed with figs, apricots, and cranberries. It was salty, sweet and delicious on the soft baguette slices drizzled with balsamic glaze. The mussels looked good but the flavorful was overpowering. Chicken was crispy and salty. French fries had too much salt and served as the truffle fries even though everyone wanted the plain ones instead. Dessert was their chocolate cake and the sticky toffee cake with cinnamon ice cream. Chocolate cake was too sweet in my opinion. The toffee wasn't sticky but it was warm and soft. I really enjoyed the ice cream and would like a pint to take home. Overall, we had a decent experience. Food was okay with fair prices. Staff were incredibly friendly and quick to check in on us. Would come again to try their burger next week with more Brie. It's a casual environment with tight parking in the eastern bank next door as it was already full by 5:50 pm. There is also the other lot across the street with plenty of spots.
