    Pastrami Sandwich Combo

    Great meal for under $20 My crispy fries were cooked to perfection!! + As always their Pastrami is killer! Enjoy!

    Amazing food and great service! Price is also reasonable. I got the family set burgers and they were really good.

    Pastrami and fries

    I drove by and noticed this burger place on the corner of Commonwealth and Brookhurst and had to try it out. It is an older restaurant and was pretty clean. I waited for three minutes or so before I could order, as the cashier was doing a few things. I ordered the Pastrami combo- Pastrami, fries and a drink (refillable). The food was warm and prepared good. There was plenty of customers and Drive thru patrons. I will return.

    Chicken Club Sandwich 10/10
    Natalie J.

    Best chili cheese fries! The Golden Ox is simply outdoing their competition when it comes to their chili cheese fries! They have a drive thru and it usually takes at least 7 minutes minimum to get your food because it's all made fresh. The inside is clean. I recently tried their chicken club sandwich and it was so yummy! They also have great hotdogs. I would compare their coke to McDonald's sprite because it's so crisp and refreshing.

    Found a long black hair in my breakfast burrito...Called the store and instead of apologizing or offering a quick refund, they told us we needed to bring the food back to the restaurant in order to issue our money back, after sending them a photo already of the hair literally embedded in the burrito!! Totally inconvenient and disappointing. Wish I would've checked their reviews before tying this place, DISGUSTING!!!

    a bacon and cheese sandwich with fries

    I had lunch at Golden Ox Burger, it's been a long time since I've visited, so I was looking forward to it. Service was great at the beginning but once I asked for condiments they manager gave me attitude. But just brushed it off. I had the bacon burger with chillies fries, WAY OVERPRICED. The entire meal came out to $20 bucks plus tip. It was crazy.

    Fried Zucchini (comes with 1 ranch)
    Zoe A.

    Best Fried Zucchini in Fullerton! (If you like longer, juicier, and thicker slices, and less dense breading) Ranch cups given are bigger compared to other takeout spots Notes: - Burger inflation is real, most restaurants in the area now charge on average $7-8 for the burger alone (specialty/signature burgers being $10+), if you're used to pricing from 5-6 years ago when you could have had a whole combo for less than $11 - Golden Ox is on the lower end with a max burger expense at $10

    I ordered a hamburger combo The burger was just okay, not a place I'd go back for. The service was okay, the cashier seemed she was having a bad day, I don't know if they were her kids, but looked like, the small one was crying and screaming. So for the ambiance felt a bit chaotic to be honest.

    Burgers and whole meal for under $40 bucks! Well the service was super quick. My cashier Jackie was very friendly even offered condiments which is rare now a days. What I love is that she didn't even ask for a drink carrier, she automatically gave me one. Drive thru super quick, and I was on my way. I recommend this place for efficiency, burgers tastes delicious.

    Ham and eggs, Greek omelet
    Vanessa G.

    I've been a fan of Golden Ox since the 80s, when my parents would take me to the OG location in Montebello. I'm SO happy the city I live in has a Golden Ox. It's by far my favorite burger joint of this style. You can't go wrong with the burgers here, however my absolute favorite menu on the item is the charbroiled chicken sandwich. It comes on a wheat bun with lettuce and tomato. I ask for grilled onions and 2 slices of Swiss cheese. It's the best sandwich ever! I even got my husband hooked on it. I've been ordering it this way for as long as I can remember. The chicken salad is also great here too and it's big enough to share. I LOVE the onion rings and the fries are lightly seasoned. The breakfasts here are also fantastic. My faves are the breakfast burritos and the Greek Omelet. The hash browns are the best in town. I order mine extra crispy. Service is always great and ambiance is very clean. I will forever be loyal to Golden Ox.

The restaurant itself is small and cozy with a comfortable atmosphere, but seating is limited. It can get busy during peak hours, so waiting is expected. There are also outdoor tables along the street that you can use when the weather is nice. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable, making it a good option for a casual breakfast or brunch. They were out of cold brew during my visit, so I ordered an iced coffee instead, but it was served a bit lukewarm, which was slightly disappointing. The omelet and Cobb salad were both flavorful and well prepared. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Overall, a cozy breakfast spot with solid food and a welcoming atmosphere.

The service was fast and efficient, and the staff stayed attentive throughout our visit, making sure we had everything we needed. One thing I really loved about this cafe was the atmosphere. There are plenty of seating areas, making it a great place to hang out or catch up with friends. The overall vibe is cozy and inviting, which makes me want to keep coming back.

If I had one small criticism, it would probably be the coffee. I'm big on coffee, so I personally would've liked a stronger coffee flavor. I also wasn't a huge fan of the iced coffee latte drink, but that's just my personal taste. Overall though, we really enjoyed our visit.

The hostesses and servers are very nice, but getting the food to the table is the BIG fail. The kitchen needs to be reevaluated and management needs to step up if they care. LOVE the wait times and capability of getting on the wait list via call to restaurant or online or thru YELP. I hope they can improve the food service part. - my fav The MonteCristo

They have a good selection of American food, and I ordered chicken risotto ($24) from the "favorites" section of the menu. Portion sizes here are good, and we were very full after dinner. Service here was basic, and we got everything we needed. Friday night is also a peak time at Downtown Fullerton, so it was hard to find parking spot. However, the ambience here was relaxed. While the chicken risotto was pricy, I enjoyed the mixed flavors and large portion size. The flavor came from the caper-parmesan beurre blanc sauce. It's a slightly creamy butter sauce with mild sweetness and added flavor from white wine. The capers added a very welcome tangy and savory seasoning to the sauce; they're one of my favorite garnishes. The flavors from the breaded chicken and risotto weren't too strong.

There are better spots in the area, so I probably wouldn't come back.
