We returned here on a Friday night to enjoy a late dinner and listen to local singers on the weekly Karaoke night. As usual, we began with an appetizer of Tempura Shrimp that was light and crispy. I followed this with a hot bowl of sweet Tomato Soup. For her main Diane had a medium-rare Cheeseburger & French Fries. She liked her burger except included bacon was missing. The cost was subtracted from our bill. I liked my Turkey Blue Ox Melt on lightly toasted Sourdough, which was warm with included pickle chips and a slice of well-melted White American Cheese, along with nicely seasoned and crispy Fries. Service by our waitress Lynn was responsive and excellent. Table seating was comfortable, and the audio volume for songs set at an acceptable level. read more

Good food, beer, and service. Always go here when we are in town. Fantastic place to watch MN sports in Las Vegas.

Came for a sushi-making class and ended up hanging out after, and it was such a fun experience! The class was well put together and hands-on, engaging, and even better than I expected. The instructor made everything easy to follow and kept the energy light and fun. Decided to stick around after the class as the place has a super comfortable vibe where you can just relax. Drinks were solid, the service was friendly, and there are plenty of games to keep you entertained like video poker, darts, pool, and even some arcade games. Whether you're here for something unique like the sushi class or just looking for a chill spot to grab drinks and hang out, Blue Ox Tavern is definitely worth checking out. read more

Our server was very friendly! She made some great recommendations and we didn't feel rushed at all, even though we simply hung out for like 2 hours after we ate. Great burgers. I got the mushroom swiss and the hubs got the blue cheese & bacon. His was very zippy with flavor and mine was delicious and mellow. Both good choices. The blue cheese dressing was kinda sweet, which we didn't particularly love but the chunks of cheese in it were tasty and good sized. I got cottage cheese, which was awesome to be able to have as a side without an upcharge. He got fries, delightfully salted and seasoned. 1 soda water. Total bill $35. I took half my burger home I was actually full! Cute decor. Love the skeball and pinball machines. Lots of booths, which we like. A little smokey inside but not too bad. Definitely a nice time and will probably go back every time we get the car taken care of at Toyota. read more

We moved close to the Blue Ox in May. We ordered the steak sandwich 3 times so far. It was delicious and the onion rings are superb! Best I ever had! We ordered to go but it would be nice to stay & eat there. Nice & clean. The bartender and servers were great while I waited. read more

Great food with great service. The biscuits and sausage gravy was really good, a lot of sausage. The grilled cheese with tomato soup was also good. The Reuben sandwich was stacked high and delicious. The coleslaw and french fries were also very good. Especially delicious were the barbecued fried pork belly bites. Lynn was very attentive to our needs and was very friendly. Another great visit! Lastly, I sure am glad they have Miller High Life. read more

We came in on a random Sunday afternoon. Wanted a burger, and this was perfect. There's a Sunday karaoke but from 3 or so on. Live singing and watching people dance was so much fun! There were really some good singers! My husband and I enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Food is always good, shots in ice cold glasses and good selection of tap beer. This will be a staple in our rotation. read more

Chicken fingers were amazing (hand breaded). Bartender was very nice even though we have never been there. A diamond in the rough.

My coworker Luke recommended The Blue Ox Tavern, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the Blue Ox Melt with Turkey and fries, along with a side of their homemade ranch, and I was so impressed! Gayl who answered the phone was sweet & the bar was clean. Food: * Blue Ox Melt: The turkey was incredibly flavorful, even on its own, and the amount of turkey they packed into the sandwich was super generous--I was full after just half! The green chili added a fantastic kick of flavor, and the rye bread was a nice twist, tasting fresh. * Fries: These were seasoned to perfection and full of flavor--some of the best fries I've had in a while. * Homemade Ranch: Creamy, rich, and so flavorful--a perfect pairing for the fries. * Pickles on the Side: Crispy, crunchy, and fresh with a satisfying snap. Overall: The food here is bursting with flavor, from the sandwich to the sides. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. I'll definitely be back to try more menu items! read more

We to come to this place for lunch every once in a while: It is a little smoky because obviously it's a bar. But the food is always delicious and the servers are always friendly and attentive. We ordered the Caesar and house salads along with chicken fingers. The salads were good and fresh but the chicken fingers are beer battered so they're crunchy on the outside and moist in the middle. And they have amazing ranch! Can't have chicken fingers without good ranch. This is a go to on our lunch list so we will be back again. read more

A friend and I went to Blue Ox for a painting class, Monet Your Way. However we decided to have dinner before the class started. Our waitress was very welcoming and took care of us right away. My friend had the burger and I the fish tacos. I loved the fish tacos and she enjoyed her burger, just couldn't finish it. It is indeed a tavern, so there is a full bar and I was happy to have a margarita with my tacos. Great spot for a quick meal or a drink whilst watching sports. read more

Very nice place to hang out and play slots. Very nice dining area I enjoy many li lunches about ten years ago nice staff the blue also had charity events to help.our community another decade I ago I visit your niece place very good food for lunch on read more

How is this place considered a "dive bar"? If this is divey then I am in love. It is not your typical stale smoke place. Not at all. It is CLEAN. The bathrooms are sparkling. It is spacious in the whole bar. Good food at a cheap cost. We got here rather late like 1:30am. A friendly, energetic and super personable bartender named Eric was our host. He is very creative making cocktails and was thrilled we wanted to try something besides the usual beer or shot. My friend got a Purple Rein cocktail which was a lavender shade of purple it was tasty (I tried a little) but a smidge on the sweet side for me. Eric was pleased I wanted to try a drink not on the menu. He even listened to my story of my old neighbor Mr. Roby (RIP) who used to make a good manhattan. Eric came up with a nice old fashioned cocktail with a hint of sweetness. It was amazing. He tried to make a cable car on demand but unfortunately he didn't have all the ingredients. So eh came up with a blue curaçao version which was just ok. The food is quite good and the kitchen was open late. We had Fried Cheese Curds and fish tacos oh my goodness. Really good and hit the spot. Love this place. Come here after 11pm and ask Eric to make you a draaaaank! read more

Outside is unimpressive, but a friendly local place inside! Friendly Staff and Great for weekend sports watching.

I am new to the Blue Ox but thanks to Chrissy ,Gail and the hot fresh food I will definitely be a regular. You can tell the owner takes pride in his establishment. Everything was clean bathrooms even smelled AND looked clean (let's face it we all been to ones that look clean but the smell...???!!!) It is right in the same lot as Burlington so if you are in the area stop in ....you won't be disappointed!!! read more

Another day, another bar review right? This review is my 300th! Maybe I'm slacking. The Blue Ox was my watering hole of choice this week, and is one of those places you either know about or stumble upon accidentally. The exterior was vintage looking and vintage looking places usually have a certain type of charm. The interior looks like it got a facelift at some point, yet still retains some of it's vintage charm. The back of the bar had a recreational/game room area. They made it clear by signage that this is a MN Vikings joint. I was just there for dinner and a VGK hockey game. Behind the bar was their own Goal horn the bartender plays when VGK scores to create a little excitement (Note: Ironically their goal horn actually sounds like the Calgary Flames horn) The drink service was a little slow at first, but improved throughout the evening. I ordered a hangover burger and fries. The food was okay, nothing overly good or bad to report about it. The cheese curds were noticeably good though. The slot machines were like Fort Knox (Rhymes with Ox) I couldn't get a darn dime out of them no matter how much I spent. One cool perk is that if you go to the ATM, the ATM will randomly spit out a $20 free play voucher for a lucky user- that was the only thing I won though. It was good place to hang out play the jukebox and watch the game, especially after several of their $2 "mystery shots"! read more

Excellent food!!!! The burgers are so juicy! Drinks are reasonably priced and the servers/ bartenders are always welcoming. They have a cool little game room. Idk why this place is always so dead... But I like it. It's like having a bomb spot just for me and my party. read more

I've been remiss in not reviewing Blue Ox. A group of us meet here twice monthly for over two years. Ron is easy to work with and seems to appreciate our business. Bartender Chrissie greets me by name. Our regular server, Lynn, is awesome. She sets up our table in advance, also greets the regulars by name, and knows what we drink. Lynn is prompt about returning to our table as more people arrive or take an order from someone who was undecided. Everything on the menu is good and reasonably priced. Our original intent was to check out several local bars for happy hour. After trying Blue Ox once we decided there was no reason to keep looking. read more

Great food,service and friendly atmosphere! A definite winner all around. They are all about making your visit a great one.

Met our daughter and boyfriend for dinner. Started with Old Fashioned and fried cauliflower both were great! We had Northwoods burgers with fries and the girls split salad. Restaurant has plenty of seating, great service and very good food! We'll be back! read more

Best of Las Vegas 2024 for wings so we had to try them and check out the place. Service was great, they checked in with us quite a bit. The bar was clean and had a great vibe. Chicken wings for sure deserve the gold medal. We are chicken wing people and 95% of the places that serve them, throw them in a fryer naked and toss them in their various sauces which only leaves sauces to set them apart from the next guy. These were breaded with their own mix and this is what sets them apart from everyone else, no fancy sauce concoction needed. The best we have had in Vegas that are not the Korean variety, and we literally have tried them almost everywhere read more

Ordered prime rib French dip. It was roast beef, not prime rib and very dry and overcooked. Do not go on karaoke nights unless you are tone deaf, made the poor food even worse. couldn't wait to leave. Fry's were good. read more

Very nice Tavern the chicken and the fish are excellent. The waitress was one of the best waitress I've seen in a long time. I will be going there again oh, and the game room you can have a lot of fun in the game room. read more

MOOD: Friday night dinner Went with a group of four for a quick dinner before a show. We got there instantly sat ourselves. It was a busy night and only one server and I believe only one bartender. I wish I remembered our servers name as I would just like to say she was so sweet and although she was tending to each table she tried her best to be attentive and get what we needed. I didn't realize that their menu options change so I was a little disappointed in that since we had our minds set on our dinner before arriving. We got a free appetizer by downloading the app. Which was nice. The cheese curds 5/5 Fried green beans 4/5 American burger 5/5 We planned to eat there but waited longer than expected so asked for it to go and ask for our checks prior to the food coming out (We didn't time it well as we thought we'd have ample time to make it to our show that started within 45mins) Besides that, service is great food is good. Prices aren't Bad Blue ox is always a go to for many read more

Another perfect lunch from the "Ox" Northwoods burger (Medium rare) Classic Ox (Chicken) Boom Boom Shrimp and side order of perfect fries for our girls at the office. Very hard to find a place like the Blue Ox anymore that cooks it your way. Why burn the burger, right? They will cook it as you like it because they grind the meat..... Don't forget to try he Cilli sauce with the real onion rings.....Great, friendly establishment ! Michael, The Rainman read more

(7/26/22 Visit) Stopped in for cocktails with coworkers before a work dinner nearby. We were warmly greeted by the bartender. Sometimes going into a local bar, that's not your regular local bar can feel awkward but not here. Bartender was friendly, kept checking on us. We sat at the bar and the place has a good vibe. They had a mystery shot deal going that we got, which was a fun concept. Hit a little playing video poker which is always nice. The food that was being ordered around us looked good. I will definitely return and try the food. read more

Service was amazing. We took recommendations on cocktails that were well balanced. The food was not your typical tasting bar food either, it was definitely elevated! Loved their beer battered chicken tenders. They were big, and so light. My girlfriend had the prime rib French dip. The sandwich packed lots of meat, not too fatty, but could've used some cheese (for my liking). Topped off outing with stuffed churros, they were good too. read more

My friend and I had a desire for fried fish and decided to research places on Yelp. Blue Ox Tavern had rave reviews about their fish and chips so we had to try it. The fried fish was excellent and our server Gail was the best!!! If you want some excellent fish and chips and excellent service go to Blue Ox Tavern. read more

Went there with my buddy Sandy for a late night snack and keno . The service was top notch and so was the fish and chips. It was so good I tip the cook 5 bucks.

COVID review. All staff had masks on properly. First off this place smells like cigarettes really badly. Even though no one was actively smoking one while I was there. If that doesn't bother you it seems like a nice spot to get a drink and hang out. Layout was great and even has some drinking games you can play in the back. I walked in and ordered takeout. Staff were helpful and the food was prepared quickly. I got the western burger. It was good, nothing too fancy but hit the spot perfectly if in the mood for a burger. The fries were a little lack luster though. Outside were a little soggy instead of crispy. Overall if you can get over the smell, seems like a great place to get some drinks, food and play some drinking games. read more
