  Alas - the point is moot because they are no more... now closed.  I had good meal there for what it's worth.

  One star for being in Booneville.  One more star for an awesome selection of beers, tapped and bottled.  
  
  The food: abismal.  I ordered a cheeseburger (medium) after finding out they were out of fish and chips.  The hubby ordered the pulled pork sandwich.  My cheeseburger was just like Jeff P. described: well done, hunk of herbed meatloaf on a bun.  It was either over mixed, once frozen, or both.  My husband's pulled pork sandwich was greasy, oily and looked spicy but apparently that was just for asthetics because it was relatively flavorless.  We were both served great heaping sides of Ore-Ida Golden Crispy Fries, which I could have bought out of my grocer's freezer.
  
  They almost get a third star for their crushed ice. Close, but no cigar.

  VERY great meal after a couple of Anderson Valley samples down the road.   We had a pulled pork sandwich and some garlic fries, both of which were very simply perfect.   Garlic fries are tough for me -- usually they are so oily that they make me queasy.  The garlic on these babies was freshly grated and naked of oil, so the fries stayed crisp and yummy.  I sang their praises to everyone in earshot.
  
  There's a tempting deck outside, but it was too chilly, so we sat at the bar and watched the game.  Nice-guy bartender didn't treat us like the dummy tourists that we were, gave me a nice pour of wine.  And the price was shockingly low.  
  
  Wish we had one of these in Oakland...

  Todd (one of the bartenders) is amazing.  Service is great, food is good, and the atmosphere is very comfortable.  The Ox is my spot.

  This is America.  In America, we eat burgers.  By the time one reaches a certain age (perhaps 5) one can generally anticipate what one will get when ordering a burger.  I have now been proved wrong.  I ordered a burger and what I got tasted akin to the worst meatloaf I have ever been served.  It was shockingly chock full of herbs and garlic and didn't  taste like a burger at all.  Like a 5 year old, I ran to the bathroom and spit that shit out.
  
  ******UPDATE******  If you post a not-so-happy review such as mine you may get a really nasty e-mail from them such as I did.

  Perhaps I should preface this review by saying that before arriving at the Ox, I did my fair share of beer tasting down the road on an empy stomach, a very bad idea indeed.
  
  I didn't actually eat here, but the waitstaff was very polite when I stumbled out shortly after ordering. The front steps are a nice place to barf and the fish n chips reheated nicely when I was recovering back at my hotel.
