    Cheese curds
    Liz M.

    So the cheese curds were the only decent meal my co workers and I had. I ordered the worst meatloaf I've ever had. My other co workers ordered a sandwich, burger and fish and chips. All of us didn't like the food we ordered but the ambience is chill if you want to come and watch sports while having a drink. There's plenty of parking and the prices are decent. I would come back for drinks, cheese curds and to watch a game.

    Fish Sandwich with Fries
    Maya C.

    Have driven by Blue Ox Central so many times over the last 3 years and my husband and I finally decided to stop in last weekend. We started with Mozzarella Sticks with both blue cheese and a marinara dipping sauces. They were nice and hot and the breading wasn't thick. We'll be ordering those again. I tried the fish sandwich, which was the daily special for that day, and it came with fries. My husband tried the Rueben sandwich on Rye with their fresh chips. Everything was very good! Keep in mind that their portions are big! Barbara was nice enough to tell us when she thought we were ordering too much. She was really nice and even gave us some chocolates with our bill!

    Mushroom Swiss with onion rings so good
    Kev D.

    Come for the food. Everything here looks delicious and fresh to the core. The service here is so welcoming as a first timer they will take care of you. I had the mushroom Swiss and tried the fish and chips make sure you get the homemade house chips they are so wildly good!!! You won't be disappointed...

    Best meatloaf in the world.

    Best meatloaf in the world. I keep going back over and over. Everything I have tried here is good. But the meat loaf is my favorite.

    a plate of fish and chips and a bowl of soup

    The chicken finger at the blue Ox are a Las Vegas Staple, I use to come here over 29 years ago. I forgot how absolutely succulent they are. Made with real pieces of chicken breast and dipped in a light crispy batter to perfection. There's no filler no skinny cookie cutter, assembly line processed chicken stuff here. When you're in the mood for some real chicken fingers, the blue ox is a must try, also the wrench is made in the house absolutely yummy. Fair warning food is addicting.

    Onion Rings
    Lizz B.

    Came here because I heard the chicken fingers were good and they exceeded our expectations! They are bomb! Also, their onion rings are great. I could tell both were made from scratch immediately. This is definitely going to be one of our regular spots now. The service was amazing too. I can't wait to try more menu items and drinks in the near future!

    Do they have a non smoking section?

    No, it's basically a bar. Not adequate ventilation

    Do they serve the Juicy Lucy or a version of it? If you lived in MN, you know what I'm taking about!

    Do you allow smoking?

    They were smokin up a storm last I was in there, myself included!!

Plenty of parking in the shopping center, the signage is very prominent so there is no mistaking where you're going. Walking in the front door, you feel like you're home again. Lots of cool artwork on the walls, a very wood-based environment, has a country charm to it with a modern upscale feel. We went there for appetizers as we were on a time crunch, so we ordered the blueberry chicken sliders, the corn ribs, and the blueberry chicken wings. I had heard about these for the longest time, and everyone said they were amazing. Well I'm here to tell you that they 100% are! The corn ribs were wonderful with the cilantro dipping sauce. The only thing that would have made them better is if they would have put some Jalisco cheese on it and made it a little more like street corn. But hey who am I to complain about these corn ribs? I ate them all. The blueberry chicken sliders were absolutely off the charts! I had heard about these several times. People saying things like they are the absolute best to your taste. Buds will be stunned for days. Well, they weren't wrong, these sliders were absolutely wonderful. And we cannot forget the blueberry smoked chicken wings. These things were so well cooked and the seasoning was perfect and the blueberry softs on top took it to a whole other dimension. I would eat probably three or four more plates of these. I'm looking forward to going back there for dinner, as they had plenty of options on the menu. Such as brisket, ribs and so forth. Definitely going back for round two. Bottom line? You cannot go wrong with this place. Do yourself a favor, take some friends, and get all of the aforementioned appetizers. Your taste buds will. Thank you!

    We went to The Front Yard to use the Facebook Messenger BOGO Burger/Sandwich offer (there are other…read moreoffers like Free Pork Belly Bites or Free Mega Cocktail). You have to sit at the bar to use this dine-in offer. We ordered: - Front Yard Burger (bacon, provolone, chipotle aioli) with onion rings (+$2 for onion rings) - Front Yard Smoke Sandwich with pulled pork with garlic fries Surprisingly, the food was delicious! The Burger was flavorful with the thick-cut bacon and provolone, and the pulled pork sandwich was wonderfully smoky with a beautiful balanced coleslaw and pickled onion. The garlic fries were subtly garlicky and freshly fried in butter. Really happy to have come for the BOGO, and will eat here if we are ever in Ellis Island to gamble!

We've been to the Front Yard before, and have had a rather poor experience, both with service and food quality. We decided to give the place a 2nd (3rd?) chance. 2. The main attraction for this brunch was the "build your own" Mother's Day bouqet bar that was advertised on the website. I will give them this: it did say "while supplies last", but we arrived less than two hours (between 12:45 and 12:50 for an 11am-3pm timeframe) after the brunch started and the flowers were already gone. 3. When my sausage platter came out it was cold. Our server took it back and kitchen just re-fired it, making it hot, but way overcooked. 4. My daughter's chicken breast was also WAY overcooked (pic below). 5. My wife's burger was like shoe leather. Mimosas were plentiful and regularly refilled. Due solely to Sil being on top of things. I spoke with the manager (Randy?) about our experience. Kindly, he sent over two desserts, but nothing was taken off the bill, making this EXTREMEMLY sub-par food experience well over $200. We will not be back.

But let's get straight to the issue- the HOSPITALITY! I don't like being negative- I want local businesses to thrive and reach more people, but I need to add this bit of criticism- Lately, coming here feels like you're rolling the dice- and going out to eat and being treated well shouldn't have to feel like a gamble. When I dine here, I don't feel welcome. The bartenders make it clear that they cater to some regulars more than others. It takes the bartender half an hour to get us started with drinks and a menu to look at the food. It's crazy- I come here so often know some of this establishment's staff by name now and yet, I'm met with this recent disservice- The other night I arrive here with my girlfriend to grab some food around 1 am. I see the bartender, Ryan, zooming around, refilling beer and shots, going in and out of the kitchen. It's not that busy of a Friday night- maybe a handful of couples and groups all sitting at the bar. He passed SEVERAL times by me, no acknowledgement, no "Hey, bear with me, I'll be right with ya." 1:30. He finally comes to us apologizing, gets us started on drinks and hands us the menu. We take a couple of minutes to decide. He stands around by the Pos and talks to another bartender (Andrew I think?), who came from the kitchen, then immediately left. Another 10-15 minutes pass. By this point, I was wondering if I should just walk out. Finally, Ryan comes to take our orders. Typically, a server or bartender leads the conversation, right? I'm sure you hear things like "what can I get started for you," or "how would you like your eggs cooked" or "how would you like your Steak cooked" - You've all heard those before, right? Well- nothing. No cue. No asking anything. It felt awkward. Uncomfortable. Unwelcoming. I don't even know if he was paying attention. At one point, it was ME who was the one asking my girlfriend "How do you want your eggs cooked?" when she asked to get the Steak and Eggs because there was ZERO response coming from our bartender to anything we said. The energy felt COMPLETELY off, so I just asked then and there for the check and left off to grab some Cane's instead. An absolutely dismal experience. I don't like making my reviews about me, but I felt like I needed to explain exactly why I'm upset about my recent visits here so anyone reading this can better understand instead of just reading a vague mention of how rude the staff was. Let's get to the Good Bar Bites I recommend if you do come here (maybe day time could give you a different experience): WSKY Burger- I recommend a medium on the patty! Very juicy- the crunch of the onion rings and candied bacon- One of my favorite burgers! Steakhouse sliders- tasty and sharable mini burgers! Although- I need some clarification- Can modifications be made to this dish? One day, while ordering over the phone, a bartender named Zach told me I cannot add an extra slider (I wanted 4 sliders instead of just the 3 that come on the order), I'd have to purchase two whole orders if I wanted more. What's this about? I've never had that issue before, so just curious. Flatbread Pizza- of course pizza is always awesome to munch on. The crunch on the flatbread is so satisfying I honestly don't think I'll be coming here anytime soon. It sucks. The bar looks beautiful, the food is delicious. But why have I been treated like an outsider lately? It's not worth going to a place, even if it has good food, if you're not going to be treated well.
