A must-try is Ox’s spin on Clam Chowder. Their take on clam chowder incorporates bone marrow into a buttery broth, dressed in green onions, freshly sliced jalapenos, and garlic breadcrumbs. Absolutely delicious!

For our meal, we ordered the following:

  • My dad ordered the 18oz Maple-Brined LanRoc Farms Pork Chop. The pork chop was cooked to perfection and had great flavor. Unfortunately, the cut my dad got was fatty. After waiting for some time for our meal, we learned that the pork chop takes forty-five to sixty minutes to prepare. A fact we were not advised of when we ordered.
  • My mom, wife, and I ordered the Grass-Fed Filet Mignon cooked medium-rare. Each of them was perfectly cooked. They were tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The smokiness and char flavor of the steak was incredible, and we all loved it. This was one of the best steaks I have had in a long time.
  • For our side dishes, we had:
    • Sauteed Mushrooms & Foie Gras with three types of mushrooms (shiitake, cremini, and king trumpet), alliums, and wilted spinach.
    • Fried Russet Potatoes, horseradish aioli (amazing!), and dill.

OX Steakhouse is Argentinian-Inspired Excellence

Overview

OX Steakhouse is Argentinian-Inspired Excellence – Mmmm … The decadent aroma of a wood-fired grill greets you as you open the door! It immediately sets the stage and takes you to a place where your brain tells your tastebuds, “You, my friends, are in for a treat!”

If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, be sure to check out OX Steakhouse. You won’t be disappointed!

Atmosphere / Ambiance

OX Steakhouse is rustic and inviting but small. As you walk in, you notice brick walls and an island bar right by the front door. On the other side of the bar is a fire pit with an adjustable grill loaded with cuts of beef, pork, and seafood prepped to tantalize the taste buds of the customers who are waiting in anticipation of goodness, no, wait … Greatness!

The Food

The menu at OX Steakhouse features a variety of delicious items, all of which are cooked to perfection. Whether you’re looking for a hearty entrée or a light starter, you’ll find something to your liking.

To start things off, we ordered OX’s famous Clam Chowder. OX’s twist on Clam Chowder is bursting with flavor. The “Chowder” is served with Smoked Marrow Bone, Green Onion, and Jalapeno. Very tasty and perfect for our party of four to share.

My dad had the 18 oz Maple-Brined Pork Loin Chop for our main courses, cooked to a medium temperature. The Chop was moist and tender, had excellent grill marks, and the flavor was smokey, earthy, and delicious.

My Mom had the 13 oz Wild Alaskan Halibut on the Bone with Preserved Lemon Salsa Verde. The Halibut came out grilled to perfection, flaky, and fell off the bone!

My wife had the 8 oz Grass-Fed Beef Filet cooked to a perfect medium-rare temperature. The Filet was tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor!

I had the 16 oz Beef Ribeye, cooked medium-rare. It was a perfect pink in the center with great char on the outer edges. The ribeye was so tender that I didn’t need a knife to cut it.

For sides, we had Foie Gras, Sautéed Mushrooms with wilted spinach and chives, Roasted Cauliflower, Yuzu Citrus Hollandaise, and Dungeness Crab. All were amazing and were perfect additions to our entrees.

We had Chocolate Sorbet with Grilled Figs and Chocolate-Olive Oil Cake, Rum Mascarpone Mousse, and Fudge Sauce for dessert. The Olive Oil Cake was so moist and decadent and a great closure to a fantastic dinner!
