I figured a MN themed restaurant would be just what the doctor ordered for a true Mud Duck. This place missed the mark. The decor is dark and it's obvious the establishment is geared towards bar gamblers. I came for the food, not the gambling. The waitress was quick to greet us (the place was empty) and was ready to take our order as quick as we were ready to give it. The cheese curds were the first thing out. I'm a cheese curd nut (Cheddar Head by birth), and these were good, but not great. Maybe we just got the bottom of the bag runt curds, but they were small. The flavor was unimpressive. The burger I got was a mess. I ordered it Medium rare and it came out well done. It was a preformed patty that was charred around the outside. There wasn't a sign of pink or moisture left in it. The patty melt that was ordered medium was half way to becoming jerky. It's too bad the food wasn't as good as the service. I won't be back. read more

I got kicked out of this place for having my phone notification on! After talking to the owner she said the bartender was offended because it was so loud. My phone notification is the Mario bros coin. I told her that I was spending my money on the machines and she said she didn't care. She said My phone was loud and people don't appreciate that. There was no one at the bar. Even the waiter there looked surprised and shrugged her shoulders at me like she didn't know why I was getting kicked out. read more

One person's morning maybe another's night. The late night service may have found you longing for hours of the day where the sun shines, this be not such a place. I hold tenderly the silent 24 hour bar and restaurant close to my heart of hearts (it's my stomach). And this spot wears well every bit of nostalgia one may have for such memories. The beer is cold, some local, while the bourbon is a plenty and the fernet follows closely. The chicken fingers, unique in their soft crunch are the juiciest pieces of chicken you may have ever had. It's honestly simplicity done with respect. Solid food. The staff, as in the one person behind the bar, is as friendly as can be and took the time to pour a proper pint of beer. Man I really like this place. read more

Blue Ox Central - Chicken fingers. - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Having grown up in Minneapolis, I can say that this quaint comfortable establishment pretty much clones the MN bar/pub formula that I grew up with. I only met three people from MN there so it's got local fans. The day I was there, they were out of Walleye, (which was the reason I was there), so the next thing on the menu I got was Cheese Curds, they were good. I didn't see anything else that was uniquely MN so I tried the Sampler Platter. It was huge; definitely need four people to finish that dish. Everything tasted great! If you are a health conscious adult, probably steer clear. They deep fried food is pretty greasy, the way real Minnesotans like it. Lose as star for no Walleye. read more

Jaimie offers great service and great conversation. He is knowledgeable of the menu. The food was awesome I love this place and it's reminds me of a 70s basement. Macrame with plants and wood and brick with beer signs. They remodeled the one on sahara... I don't like it but I'll drive out here to eat, great service and drink...here is a true Midwest bar. .. read more

Blue Ox Central - New American Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

So normally I come here to have breakfast with co workers and the waitress here Tiffany she is kinda rude. Before she got here I was dealing with a young man who is always nice and helpful, He said goodbye because he was off. So Tiffany she ask what I wanted but before hand she said what are you having to drink I said I had a tequila sunrise she then says I know, what are you having to to eat I said you asked me what was I drinking. Then I told her what I was having as she asked me I said the steak and eggs medium rare eggs scrambled and an English muffin. So our food arrives and I began to eat my food and suddenly I get a long hair in my food. I know it was done intentionally because when she was called to the table about the situation she immediately says it was not done intentionally if it wasn't done on purpose why would you say that instead of saying omg I am so sorry. She said nothing and took my food away. I eat here all the time I will never eat here again while her or the cook is there because he is apart of it because he allowed her to do this. He does not have that colored hair I knew something wrong when I got my food last. If you are black do not go here. read more

Minnesota style bar and grill located across the street from the airport. My significant other, a Vikings fan, brought me, a Saints fan, here to watch the game. There was plenty of table and bar seating. The bar seating had video poker gaming. The food menu had some Minnesota favorites like cheese curds. They were delicious. We also had the chicken tenders which were very large but tasty. The staff were very friendly. read more

My husband is from Minnesota & fished Walleyes all his life, so a Walleye dinner is a treat although it can't beat his freshest catch-of-the day he misses so much, so I take him here once a year to reminisce on things Viking & MN. Deco is nostalgic for him, friendly service is excellent here. They make it better than the food that is OK but could be better. read more

Good midwestern type of bar and grill. The food is usually pretty good, the chicken fingers are enormous, and the drinks are adequate as well. I noticed that they have added some more draft beers to the menu which is always a good thing in my opinion. The prices tend to be a bit on the higher side of the spectrum but the portions are pretty large. We don't come here very often but it will remain on the potential places to go list for the future. BTW, 21 and up only in case people were wondering. read more

Wonderful food! The service was excellent! The ambiance was fun! Great neighborhood bar!

Great food with huge portions. Trust me when I say you only need the 1/2 order of fingers! Great service with that old school Vegas vibe. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed. read more

Delicious hamburgers, meatloaf for days, roast beef very tasty as well. Probably one of the best burgers in town. It is a bar so smoke is a factor and no one under 21. They have cute tables for the hi tops if you decide to eat there. Staff is friendly and attentive read more

A true dive bar but a great one. Excellent food, reasonably priced drinks and great service. Portions are large so come hungry. The country fried steak is delicious and comes with biscuits and gravy. Awesomeness!! Heidi was our server today and she was outstanding. She got our names and called by name during our visit. That is friendly. Blue Ox is also a Minnesota bar through and through. BTW, breakfast is served until 2pm. read more

Great good! Service sometimes slow but worth it. No reason to always be rushing anyway. Usually east to get a place at the bar if you gamble. They also have a pool table and pinball machine. read more

The atmosphere is divish, which I like. They have a great ipa called citrus mistress. The TVs are great for watching the game. What turned me off is the fact that the bar tender said that they don't comp 5cent or 10cent games???! My wife was literally playing the 5 cent 20 card at $1 a play?!! And you don't comp?!!! Wow! A dollar a hand and they don't comp!..... Unbelievable.... Consider this the first and the last time we come here, many other places to spend your money while they sit there paranoid about a coupled dollars. . What a bunch of cheap skates. SMH. read more

I'm pleased that I came in here to try it out. Jennifer the waiters was awesome. Very insightful of the menu and did not lie when she said thier chicken fingers are the best. So most and the breading was so yummy. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food they give you. It was dark and pool tables good atmosphere. I would definitely come back and bring friends or boyfriend. I'd recommend this bar food place anyday. Specially right across the airport when you can take your leftovers rrs and so watch the planes coming and going. read more

Smoking is allowed. We are non-smokers. The smoke was not too bad ad their were very few customers. It is a bar so ambience is bar ambience. The protein plate was very good. The patty melt was very good. The fish was not great. The chips with the fish were good. The owner knew nothing about the dollar off so would not accept the coupon. The waitress was very nice. read more

I had the Walleye Dinner with mixed veg, fries and toast. All for 17.99. Absolutely delicious.

Very clean, not too smokey. Unfortunately they had one server for the whole place and one bartender. We would have preferred to sit at the bar (which was empty when we arrived) but they had signs which read bar seating was for players only. So we gladly sat at a table. We would have ordered way more drinks had we sat at the bar, but the server only stopped at our table a couple times because she was serving 30+ people seated at tables. read more

Best chicken Fingers in the world. That sounds like an over-sell but it's not. Before I had them at Ox, I thought Chicken Fingers were a "Kids Menu" thing but not anymore. These aren't the frozen kind these are huge, house made and delicious. If it helps, think of them as boneless fried chicken. Burgers are good too, they also have daily specials that have always been great but I come for the fingers. read more

Open 24 hours is a very misleading thing to suggest when your business is in Las Vegas and the doors are locked at midnight.

Had the fish and chips. Probably the worse ever. Very bland no taste. And fish undercook. Nice and golden on the outside but no taste.. read more

This place may honestly have the absolute WORST Cheeseburger on the planet!!!! Asked for a medium burger. First off, it's a frozen, nasty piece of shoe leather. Told the waitress it was burnt and she argued with me that it was fine so I had to ask the manager for a new one. Told them to cook the next one medium rare, and it came out more burnt than the first one with a terrible taste! Had to coat the burger with so much mayo so the charred leather wouldn't stick in my throat! Disgusting excuse for a burger and watched the angry cook re-cook the burger. Stay away!!! This place is garbage! read more

Vikings Bar with No Vikings Football game!! WTH?!? Blame the internet and then make the poor waitress have to give a multitude of excuses because you the owner won't pay the streaming service $5000.

What did I like? Everything! The martinis were gigantic and perfectly made. The burgers were so delicious, juicy and the best quality meat. The homemade chips were excellent and the onion rings were crispy and not greasy. It was after 10 P.M. and this staff couldn't have been nicer. They were friendly, efficient and kind. What a great find, thank you Blue Ox read more

This place is great. Nice local feel for how close it is to the airport. Interesting decor and super friendly wait staff. The chicken tendies are to die for too! Would highly recommend for anyone wanting some great bar food and relaxed atmosphere. I will be visiting again. read more

On November 7, 2018 We've been here twice and enjoyed the experience but not this time. I came back to this place with my husband one morning to have coffee. As we had our coffee, I used the glass cup for empty creamers and used stir sticks to avoid leaving a mess on the counter. The bartender (amber) got an attitude and walked away with a glass, once she came back with a clean glass and new creamers, she told me to" NOT DO THAT AGAIN " I was shock and disbelief. LOL truly one of the worst bartenders I have ever encountered. I told her this will be my last coffee and left. read more

I hadn't realized it was a casino type restaurant so lots of smoke unfortunately. Service was good and I ordered the chicken fried steak which was good, but the menu said the potatoes was real mashed potatoes and they tasted like instant potatoes to me. No butter in them for sure. Other than that, it was fine. My friend enjoyed his meal. read more

Too say I am disappointed is a understatement.... I have always been a big fan of local restaurants/bar... but after tonight I am done with this place ... the bartender Mike/manager/owner can't be bothered..... if you bother him goodluck ... and God forbid you tell him his ATM isn't working ... I have been to the this bar 30 times.... and every time the ATM has NEVER worked ... and the owner says well ... it says decline... no !!! This happens Everytime at the blue Ox and the owner clearly does not care ..the unfortunate thing for this business is I will tell 20 people minimum... and those people will tell a min of 15 people ... I am sick over how We were treated.. never going back and will tell everyone.. there is a saying.... mess with the bull you WILL get the horns ... in tough times like this he should be thanking customers for coming and spending there money in his establishment., the chicken fingers were always my favorite... and unfortunately those really were not that great tonight either. It's too bad to see a place we once loved go downhill. ... very bad for the business read more
