I was a little leery because of the negative reviews I read. We went at about 7pm on a saturday and the place was packed! I think they may have been understaffed for the evening though because there was a bit of a lag in the service, but we were still taken care of very well.
We were seated almost immediately, and had bread and water on the table within a few minutes. Our server was super friendly, the food was great. My biggest issue was the only available table was in the bar area, and we had to deal with listening to the loud mouth sitting at the bar who kept yelling at the TV. Other than that, we had a great evening and would definitely return.
We have lived in Hampshire for 7 1/2 yrs and have always loved going to "The Ox" but stopped going 2 yrs ago.
Since the restaurant has changed hands it has gone down hill. The service is horrible! The owner not nice and the food is overpriced for the quality.
Don't waste your time and dollar.
Wow...surprised this place has such low reviews. Me and the GF stopped in on a Tuesday night for dinner. I've driven by this place a million times during my commute but have never been in.
From the top...the interior decor is pretty good. It's a tad dark, but it's not too bad. There's a bar area that's..well...a bar. And there's a dining area that's much nicer. There's an outside area, but it was a bit too cold for that.
First thing that came out was warm bread. It was pretty good, but the crust was a bit too hard. I still enjoyed it, though.
The soup came out after the bread. It was very good. It tasted homemade, which is a plus.
We both ordered burgers. These things were huge...1/2 pounders. The meat was not frozen and was pretty good quality. It was very flavorful. I ordered mine medium. It came out more medium-rare, but I didn't mind. If you're sensitive to this kind of thing, order one step up. Â Both burgers came with steak fries that, while of the frozen variety, were good enough.
The prices were quite reasonable for the quality of the food. Also of note, the prices of the draft beer is obscenely low.
Our waitress was amazing. She was caring, but not overbearing. I don't like feeling smothered by wait staff, but I don't like when they're aloof or apathetic.
Overall, I'd definitely stop back in.
ALL I CAN SAY IS HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! Went there this past weekend on Friday and was helped by the hostess who is so sweet and friendly. Our waitress Char was nice and really helpful! Saturday night after a long day of running errands and being busy we decided to do take out at Red Ox. Let me just say before this night we couldn't stop talking about how great we thought this place was and was excited to have a bunch of our family and friends there for a mini graduation dinner but now that decision is a resounding NO! We picked up our food got home and noticed our steaks were not cooked to our medium requests, instead it was bright pink and bloody. We thought it was just a fluke but both cheeseburgers we ordered and our other steak were all cooked like this despite our requests that we wanted it medium. My husband decided to call and talk to the hostess, as nice as she was she offered us to bring it back but my husband wanted to talk to the owner about the meal either way. Well, Jimmy the owner got on the phone and my husband proceeded to explain the wrong in how our food was cooked and THE OWNER THEN SAID TO US "well don't you have fire at your home"! Can't you cook it"? Are you kidding me, we were looking for a free meal, an apology maybe a free dessert or free drinks next time but not in a million years did I think it would be "do you have FIRE"!!
Jimmy, I am shocked how you treat your customers! The only reason your busy is not for your food or the atmosphere or the owner! It's because you are the only restaurant in town open late!
News flash I would rather starve than go into your restaurant ever again!!
I've been here for meals several times but the quality isn't what it used to be in past years. Tonight I dined by myself and was seated near the server station. Â I never heard such vulgar language from the retiree waitresses. The food is good, not spectacular, but they need new servers. Soon!
P.s. Â Went again recently, and ended up leaving before even getting a menu because Again the waitress were dropping the f bomb about the fact I moved tables. Note that they was only 1 other table of people. I called the owner that claimed he had no idea. Somehow I doubt that.
Red ox is your basic American style restaurant and menu. The Ox has good food for a good price. The wait staff is always pleasant and friendly. The beer selection is nice especially the Labatt Blue on tap. All in all it's a nice local joint, but nothing to go out of your way for.
I recommend the chicken alfredo, rotiserrie chicken and the pizza on Thursdays when it's half price!
I kept driving by this restaurant and noticing that they always had quite a few cars in their lot (a good sign) and that the building looked very well maintained. Â Hmm.. Â maybe worth a stop.
Went there the other night - other reviewers had noted nice patio, with noise from 72. Â They were right. Â Overall noise is not a problem, but the group of motorcycles roaring by at one point put a stop of all conversation.
The food was good. Â Spanokopita was good. Â Beer was good - they've got some yummy things on tap and reasonable prices. Â I had Greek Salad, came with anchovies - loved it. Â Bread was good.
Hubby had a hamburger - it arrived and looked un-inspired...not enough blue cheese, no onions or anything to give it eye-appeal. Â He said it tasted "ok". Fries were good. Â I ordered French Onion Soup and was asked if I wanted to pay $1 to have it baked... Â What? Â Apparantly their French Onion Soup does not by default include the cheese baked on top. Â Very weird and annoying. Â It's not really French Onion Soup then, is it. Â (My opinion). Â
Oh - not the restaurant's fault - but lots of bugs on patio...so watch what you are eating. Â :-)
This restaurant is decent and has potential. Â Would like to see them stop skimping on things like cheese. Â Raise the price a $1 and pile it on.
Would I recommend... well...yeah, with cautions.
Would I return  - I would, but husband says he won't.  Wouldn't go out of the way to go there, but we do occasionally drive by.
