    Late Night Menu, Lotsa Chicken Tenders,  yummy!
    Ellen S.

    Had the Late Night Lotsa Chicken Tenders w/fries. They were awesome, one order would have been enough for both of us. Pat was our bartender/waiter, he couldn't have been nicer. Great little bar, especially if your a Vikings fan.

    Cheese curds
    Liz M.

    So the cheese curds were the only decent meal my co workers and I had. I ordered the worst meatloaf I've ever had. My other co workers ordered a sandwich, burger and fish and chips. All of us didn't like the food we ordered but the ambience is chill if you want to come and watch sports while having a drink. There's plenty of parking and the prices are decent. I would come back for drinks, cheese curds and to watch a game.

    Fish Sandwich with Fries
    Maya C.

    Have driven by Blue Ox Central so many times over the last 3 years and my husband and I finally decided to stop in last weekend. We started with Mozzarella Sticks with both blue cheese and a marinara dipping sauces. They were nice and hot and the breading wasn't thick. We'll be ordering those again. I tried the fish sandwich, which was the daily special for that day, and it came with fries. My husband tried the Rueben sandwich on Rye with their fresh chips. Everything was very good! Keep in mind that their portions are big! Barbara was nice enough to tell us when she thought we were ordering too much. She was really nice and even gave us some chocolates with our bill!

    Mushroom Swiss with onion rings so good
    Kev D.

    Come for the food. Everything here looks delicious and fresh to the core. The service here is so welcoming as a first timer they will take care of you. I had the mushroom Swiss and tried the fish and chips make sure you get the homemade house chips they are so wildly good!!! You won't be disappointed...

    Best meatloaf in the world.
    Bee J.

    Best meatloaf in the world. I keep going back over and over. Everything I have tried here is good. But the meat loaf is my favorite.

    The chicken finger at the blue Ox are a Las Vegas Staple, I use to come here over 29 years ago. I forgot how absolutely succulent they are. Made with real pieces of chicken breast and dipped in a light crispy batter to perfection. There's no filler no skinny cookie cutter, assembly line processed chicken stuff here. When you're in the mood for some real chicken fingers, the blue ox is a must try, also the wrench is made in the house absolutely yummy. Fair warning food is addicting.

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

    Ask the Community - Blue Ox Central

    Do they have a non smoking section?

    No, it's basically a bar. Not adequate ventilation

    Do they serve the Juicy Lucy or a version of it? If you lived in MN, you know what I'm taking about!

    Do you allow smoking?

    They were smokin up a storm last I was in there, myself included!!

Out of all the restaurants here, this one is my favorite. And I finally got to visit 1.5 years ago and fulfilled my promise of bringing my buddy here today. Today we got the following during Happy hour: My usual Amber. My buddy's usual IPA. And too many glasses of Double IPA... Onion Rings - Good, but not much quantity. Fried Pickles - Good, and with generous quantities. I did not finish. Lots of breading for both dishes. Brunch is also available. See their website. Atmosphere - Love the huge indoor/outdoor space, see pictures. But both my buddy and I said AC would be nice. My last visit in January '25 was NOT this hot. Plenty of bar, table seating. TVs for entertainment and of course, for sports. Gaming available, but not today. Well I am sure they have gaming if you sat at the bar which we did but still did not play. I love the modern restrooms and the outside sinks, see pictures. Events, Mega Mondays, Trivia Tuesdays, Wine Wednesdays, watch parties, games, live music, extended HH, etc.; see their website. Two stories. 350 capacity. Lots of regulars here, where everyone seems to know everyone. I like this atmosphere, and might make this a regular LV visit for my HH. But again, I really should skip the food... Service - Jo and the new guy were both 5 stars; friendly and efficient. Price - $37 + generous tip. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2019. As mentioned from the previous review, I brought my buddy.

    The ambiance is cool! i like that theres a live DJ and the bar area is nice…read more The food though.... Im sure it tastes good if you're a few drinks in. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and it was the worst sandwich ever. I didn't even eat it. The bottom bread was soggy, a little tsp of bbq, and the taste of the pork was odd, soggy and wet. The pizza was good but it was missing the spicy. My friends and i agreed that we would not come again.

The menu had some good options, although the selection wasn't very extensive. We started with the chicken nachos. They looked great when they arrived, but the presentation was misleading. There were only about 12-15 chips, although they were loaded with cheese, beans, and chicken. The biggest disappointment was that about half of the chips were stale. At $29, they were definitely not worth the price. For my entrée, I ordered the salmon. It was excellent--beautifully presented, cooked well, and worth the price. Unfortunately, the nachos were a huge letdown. Our total bill, which included the salmon, chicken nachos, one soft drink, and one alcoholic drink, came to just under $100. The waiter also seemed to put quite a bit of pressure on us regarding leaving a $15-$20 tip, which didn't leave a great impression. Overall, the hotel is beautiful, and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere, but I wouldn't dine here again. It was worth trying once, but there are many better restaurants on the Las Vegas Strip that offer better value and a more enjoyable dining experience.
