    Delicious food all around for 11 people! Everyone loved what they got, from the Sin Burger, to Pork Chop, Steak, Striped Bass, and Spinach Salad. Servers were wonderful and the dessert platter for the crowd very tasty!

    Outstanding food, as usual. A bit loud but we knew that would be the case.

    Always amazing and excellent! From the salads to the main entrees you can’t go wrong with anything. The menu has changed up a bit and it’s better than ever! I had the cod dish and was absolutely delicious. The ox is the best!!

    I don't much like going out to dinner, especially in the summer. I am (immodestly) a good cook, and am almost always disappointed in my meal whenever we go out, even at highly rated expensive restaurants. We also have a beautiful backyard, and it's tough to leave in the good weather. So I was not optimistic when I took my wife to the Blue Ox last Saturday. But everything at the Blue Ox on Saturday night was special. The drinks (Kettle One gimlets) had a unique delicious twist and they went incredibly well with the excellent Duxbury oysters. Our shared Caesar salad was fantastic, with a wonderful, creamy dressing with just the right hint of mustard. And both of our meals, the striper special and the ribeye special were delicious. Muy rico. The service, Dawn(?) and an patient water guy who had to fill my glass like 8 times as I had been surfing all day and was dehydrated, were outstanding. Hell, even the bread was good. So, now I'm mad at you Blue Ox, because I have lost my excuse for not going to out to dinner!!!

    There is little I love more than the Hot and Dirty, tuna tartar, and the chicken, and on special occasions the filet. The Blue Ox makes me happy ever time I go. It really makes our neighborhood great!
