This is specifically for the new oildale location on North Chester!!!!! If you haven't tried Golden Ox yet, you're missing out! The food is absolutely delicious--honestly, I've never had food this good from a fast-food restaurant. Every meal is fresh, flavorful, and made with care. What really makes Golden Ox special is the owners. They are incredibly family-oriented, passionate about what they do, and genuinely care about their customers. You can feel the welcoming atmosphere the moment you walk in. Another huge plus is that they're open late, making it a great spot when you're craving a quality meal after most places have closed. I highly recommend stopping by and checking them out for yourself. Come enjoy some amazing food, support a wonderful family-run business, and soak in the happiness and positive energy that surrounds this place. Golden Ox is truly a local gem! read more

I am so disappointed in the new Golden Ox that opened on Chester! I completely understand that they are doing a soft opening today and are extremely busy, but with that being said, there is no excuse to overcharge for what you get! I ordered the chicken strips combo with fries and a regular drink. For that combo, I got charged $8.99 for the chicken strips PLUS an up charge of $5.49 for the fries and drink, so total without tax = $14.48, and for that I received 2 chicken strips (one was broken in two pieces to make it look like 3 strips in the bag), a fries bag half full and a small drink!! An honest opinion, this combo was more of a child's meal and should have cost no more than $8.99!!! I will say that the chicken strips that I had were delicious as were the fries, but seriously guys, not worth the price! I also got a grilled cheese and cheese sticks for my husband which was fantastic! The cheese sticks were perfectly crisp and cheesy, plenty in the bag and the grilled cheese had great flavor for being just a "grilled cheese"! I feel bad for even writing this review because again, I know they just opened but at the same time, I don't feel it's fair to get what I received. I'm so rooting for them to succeed especially with our areas scarce options, but come on guys, I don't mind paying for something worth the cost and this wasn't it!!! I truly am hoping that my second go around will be much better. read more

New Golden Ox on North Chester location. Just opened a couple of days ago, I expected it to be packed but it was oddly empty. Perhaps everyone in Oildale just sleeps in on a Saturday morning. The restaurant as expected is clean and of course since they just opened. The customer service was wonderful, answered question no rudeness detected. Im huge on customer service. Now to the food. I ordered the three meat breakfast burrito, hold potatoes add avacado. It came with red and green salsa. The burrito itself was huge. I actually weighed it at home, 22 ounces. A pound and half, wonder what it would have weighed with the potatoes. The tortilla needed a little char, it was warmed up but I like a little more char. The burrito was a little lackluster in flavor. It had all the potential of being great and was just missing some salt, seasoning or something. It was also cold in the middle which I think was caused by the avacado and maybe cold cheese. I think I would have liked it better if there was a little more seasoning, and after assembly the tortilla griddled, just an idea. I will be back to check out other options on the menu and update the review. I love that there is one less empty business in Oildale. read more

Soggy hash browns... like seriously mush... can't do it won't do it. Service was cool but that was about it. I wish I could get a refund and go on about my business. I won't be recommending breakfast here. Unacceptable. No one likes hash browns that are the texture of oatmeal. read more

This place is a gem! The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service was top-notch. What really stood out was the atmosphere; it felt just like eating at home, so cozy and welcoming. I can't wait to go back! The menu is wide and varied... definitely pay with cash if possible cause they charge $0.75 for card... and extra for ranch dressing. Overall, just like the Terminator, I'll be back! read more

3/5 Golden Ox was alright--nothing spectacular, but not terrible either. The food was pretty average, especially considering the price. We ordered two French toast plates, a breakfast burrito, two drinks, and a side of onion rings, which came out to $57. Honestly, that felt a bit steep for what we got. The flavors were just okay--not bad, but not memorable enough to bring us back. Overall, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again. read more

Worst experience ever. I ordered a burger family pack and these people just couldn't get the order right, even after multiple attempts. The lady at the front had to repeat my order so many times because she couldn't understand, why have her up front if she can't understand "no tomato, no cheese"? My dad was just in a bad accident and is in the hospital. All he wanted was a burger from here, and he's allergic to both items. They still couldn't get it right after two remakes. You never know what someone is going through. They ended up refunding me because they said they couldn't keep remaking it, even though it keeps being their mistake. I was very clear with multiple people. If I'm paying $60+, my order should be correct, no matter how many times it takes. read more

Amazing food. Great service. And very clean inside! I judge a lot off of cleanliness and the restaurant was spotless. Old, yes, but very clean. read more

Food is not worth the price just because Golden Ox has been around for a long time. Small fries, small drink, and a small cheeseburger is not worth $17.52 read more

Food ok, fruit gave my kids food poisoning, 2 of my kids ate the fruit bowl, they got very sick

So I went to Golden Ox to get a pastrami combo and this is what I get for almost $20:51. When did these become so small with less meat than usual. I remember them being piled high with meat and for 20 bucks I would expect at least a little more meat. Last time I come here. I know things are expensive right now but come on now. How is this right read more

This review is only on tonight's meal I received after checking in. Maybe it's a hit or miss when it comes to the cook. But my chili cheese fries were salty, and with the chili, it was too much. Plus, the chili was too spicy. I'll return when I'm craving chili cheese fries, so maybe my review will go up........ read more

Usually their burgers are pretty good but it's been a couple times they half a$$ the food and give you small burgers comparable to McDonald's for like $14 a burger. I won't be going there and anymore and will stick to John's burgers like I always have. I don't like to get ripped off more expensive burgers and small. I work hard for my money to shell out $28 for two kids burgers being colossal burgers. DO BETTER . read more

people are great as always , but to drop $15 on a simple burger is to much , need to change there western burger name to a wet slop burger made by a old man barely standing , the gang is done they said , moving over the the restaurant across the parking lot. read more

Golden ox has been a staple here in town since I was a kid, I'm glad to see this business is still around, they have always had good food and service, never had bad food from them, my go to is the gyro sandwich cause it's hard to find a good gyro these days, but they make a great one. However this trip switched it up and got some new items to try, tried their Chile verde burrito, big burrito had really good flavor and man it was packed with meat. Definitely worth it. Also we got the steak dinner, the steak had a really nice char and flavor. The garlic bread is tasty and decent fries, side salad was good, they have that good good ranch. Also the fried zucchini was on point. They definitely don't short ya on portions. Give em a try. They have something for everyone. read more

So today I went to buy a burger and as I was sitting there I saw this rude customer come in and just saying all kinds of stuff well...I know they say customer is always right but when your wrong your wrong.....well with that I saw in front of everyone the manager started yelling literally yelling at 2 female employees like their nothing, this is a horrible thing to see, especially when it looked like the customer was completely wrong, i would not want anyone yelling at my wife or my daughter and I feel no one has the right to yell at you the way he did in front of everyone, this made me lose my appetite and just leave in disgust, I will never go back again. I seriously hope the manager reads this and learns how to better manage your location! If I could give you less stars I would read more

Looking forward to a Salad from this place very disappointed the Lettuce was definitely not fresh wasn't even green, grayish colored and very bad tasting. Spoke to Chris the manager he said the salads were made daily. I mentioned to him if this was prepared today, the person prepared it doesn't know what fresh salad looks like. That's sad. read more

Perla was tremendously kind and thorough with our order. It was just right. The horchata was definitely a bit sour for my taste. The sodas were delish though.

they don't listen at all, you tell them how you want your food done and they'll do it their own way anyways. Don't spend your money here when you can go to another place that actually respects your money! read more

Pretty decent my review is solely for the burgers and fries , I was in the area and saw a bunch of cars in the drive thru so I was like they haven't to be good. I've heard mixed reviews about this place so I never tried it but I'm glad I did. The colossal burger was delicious and so were the chili cheese fries. They're not skimpy at all with their portions. I'll definitely be back to try something different on the menu soon. read more

My favorite spot for chili cheese fries with onions! Chili is so good with the fries and plenty of cheese, also the pastrami sandwich was full of meats and hot with chili peppers on the side! So delicious the bread is so fresh and toasted piles high of meat! Service always good the building was clean! Will always come back! read more

Workers were kind, food was yummy. I ordered very basic cheeseburger and fries, and it was good. They have a variety of food on the menu.

Service needs a HUGE improvement. The owner is seriously so disrespectful and doesn't mind that customers can hear his rude comments.

The chili verde quesadilla was so good but I don't recommend dining in. The service we received was rude and rushed because the restaurant closed the dining room an hour early. read more

One time I came here and ordered cheese fries. Do you know what they gave me? Unmelted, shredded cheese on some fries. I had to laugh! Honestly that pretty much summarizes the atmosphere and food I've eaten here. Me and my family have come here for years when we want something decently priced that gets the job done. It's pretty mediocre and what you would expect. Everyone is super nice and the food comes out quickly! So I don't mind it. The burritos are probably my favorite thing to get because they're pretty big. The place is clean. read more
