I just started working there, and my husband came in for dinner. He had their jumbo breaded shrimp and said it was delicious and cooked to perfection . He talked with the chef, who told him it was prepared from scratch, and breaded in house. He highly recommends the Red Ox! He also loves their chocolate cream pie!

I eat at The Red Ox at least four times a week. I find the food good and freshly prepared. The wait staff is top-notch! Mark (the owner) continually strives to make everyone's dining experience special. I urge those who have had a less-than-perfect lunch/dinner to give The Ox another chance. Chances are you came during a very busy time. Have all my meals there been perfect? No, of course not, but I try to take into consideration the situation at the time. They are definitely an asset to our community, and one of the last qua... read more

Stop in and order "The Ugly". It's a seasoned ribeye that is fork tender. Better than anything you can get at Ruth Chris' or Mortons Steakhouse.

Our party of 12 arrived at 12:15. We were not served until nearly 3 o'clock. People came in after us, were served, finished, left and were replaced with different people who were served and eating before we even saw an appetizer. The quality of the food was a mixed review. Many of the burgers were overcooked to the point of being unedible. We were told it was the waiter's first day, which begs the question, why would a "first day" guy get a 12 person party during what was probably the busiest day they've seen since the last ... read more

I was in that party of twelve. All I can say is it was the worst service I have ever experienced. The food was below average. The Blt was served on dry un toasted bread with no manoysie. Bergers were over cooked. Items ordered but never served. 2 1/2 hours later we all left angry, promising we would never return. Dick & Karen Maiman

Food was good as well as the service. BUT what I didn't like was the charging of $2.65 for a cup of coffee, way too much. Will not be back because of what they charge.
