My friends bring me breakfast burritos from Golden Ox they have always been large and tasty. Today I decided against the forbidden Taco Bell lettuce. I went into the drive thru and ordered the beef taquito plate, carne asada burrito and horchata. Thankfully the taquitos weren't the wierd frozen ones you find at other places. These were made fresh. Yum! Not greasy (Yay!) The rice and beans went nicely with the thousand island salad. The burrito was the size of a small planet. It was filled with the right balance of carne asasa, rice, beans, onions, peppers, cilantro & lettuce. The green sauce was not too spicy and had good flavor. It's great to have a place I can find good beans and freshly made Mexican food. read more

Wish I could get my $20 back. Chili cheese fries were awful. Cheese was gross and chili was flavorless. Chicken strips were covered in seasoning salt. It was everywhere. So salty. Nope. read more

Going with 5 stars. Some of you may not agree. But here is my why. The French fries. They are crisp and not only which is not easy. The pastrami is your standard French roll with mustard and pickles. Thin sliced pastrami. Here is why it was fabulous. The roll was toasted on the grill. Mustard cover the entire surface and was probably spread on not squirted on. Plenty of pickles but not so much to take away from the star. The pastrami was probably in a pot stewing in au ju - but when served it was grilled for a bit. So the end result a fully packed pastrami that doesn't fall apart and won't drip all over the place. Service is friendly. Atmosphere is humble and clean. Do your self a favor and support a locally owned biz. Your taste buds will thank you. read more

I've been coming here since they opened and have always appreciated seeing many of the same employees over the years. The staff is friendly, and the food is usually great. Recently, though, I've had a couple of disappointing experiences. The drive-thru menu showed a different price than what I was charged, and the posted price wasn't honored or updated. Another visit, my food was burned and unfortunately I couldn't return because I was already home. These issues aren't deal-breakers, but they've made me visit less often. I still enjoy the food and hope they get back to the consistency that made this one of my favorite spots. read more

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. read more

Let me make this clear ever since I was a kid I've had very low expectations for food early anything disappoints me now a days. So what do I do I try this place out could be a hidden gem right could switch things up surely it lives up to its prices and reviews? Nope it sure doesn't the lady at the window was sketchy and stand offish not only that I'm almost certain her hair touched my fries the burger and fries were lousy the fries man I'm almost certain I had better fries everywhere else I don't what substances these people who do the reviews hell maybe it's the employee the food was just suspicious and my stomach was screwed up the rest of the day just do yourself a favor and go to Charlie's best for the love of god.the place was messy too read more

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. read more

Tried it one more time. Food is no longer edible. I was served stale hash browns with my breakfast. The concept of fresh has finally left this restaurant and now they serve old food. Never coming back again. read more

Cheap prices but avoid certain things like the carne asada which they don't turn quickly and tastes days old and really nasty. Maybe stick with breakfast, burger, friend options... read more

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. read more

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 read more

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!!! read more

Went through drive thru and ordered a cheeseburger, California burrito and Texas fries. Don't get the cheeseburger, the beef patty was SOOO THIN! 2-3 centimeters at best. Can't even call that a cheeseburger at all, and at almost $8. Even ordering all that food, they can't even give one single ranch. I understand charging people ranch, if people want multiple ranch. But come on, they can't even give out 1 single ranch for people ordering their food. Bad customer service from the women working. Never again, way better options near by. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The food was really good and had no problems. The space was nice and felt a little retro.

This is one of those comfort food spots. Sometimes I feel like the non chain greasy spoon where I can get a breakfast sandwich like I'd make at home. But without all the fuss. Something about a bacon egg lettuce and tomato sandwich on white toast. And they also have excellent breakfast burritos. I used to drive past here when picking up my kids from school when they were itty bitty. It brings back nice memories. I did notice that they now have an app where you can order ahead. That's a nice option cuz if you use a card on site they have a fee (idk the fee cuz I paid cash). And because they cook everything fresh, it's a good idea to order ahead. read more

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. read more

Food is really good. Portions are usually very generous. Really like the fried zucchini.

Got steak and eggs... all I can say is I didn't eat any of the steak. It tasted disgusting. Most of it was fat as well. So disappointed I get steak and eggs everywhere and this place by far has been the worst one everrrr. Service was friendly but food was horrible. read more

Simple, quick, friendly American/Mexican food. Breakfast is what I usually come here for. Portion is generous, and everything tasted good. Cost to value ratio is solid, I would prefer eating here than say the other "D"iner food places. If you dine in, staff will bring the food to you, as well as the condiments. I have not had any issues coming here for the past 10 years, and no real complaint. Bathroom is locked, so you have to be a patron to ask for the code. Note, I have this criteria that a restaurant is as good as the restroom. This place is exactly what you would expect... nothing fancy, dated, and has the smell of bleach and bathroom. Ya, you're not here for fancy, you're here because you're hungry and want affordable tasty food. read more

Went here for lunch to get a breakfast burrito and it was so big I only ate half. It's so good. I didn't go inside I did a drive thru pick up. Service was kinda slow but that's because it was lunch hour but I still liked the burrito that came with green salsa. read more

The food tastes like so old. The price is super expensive than I thought. Give service average. Fried zucchini, I guess they froze and fried, so when we ate the food, it was already soggy. read more

It's Saturday so we were contemplating what to have for lunch. I usually like to go out for brunch but wasn't feeling it. Since I had a craving for a cheeseburger, we ended trying this place by mistake. We were supposed to go to another spot further down the street. Golden Ox is a hole in the wall franchised burger joint located at the corner of Brookhurst/Commonwealth. I noticed they were busy every time I drove passed here. So I wanted to see if it was any good. We arrived a little passed noon and the drive-thru was packed. It didn't take long to get to the front of the line. We ended up ordering too much food for just 2 people. We got the pastrami sandwich, 1/4 lb cheeseburger, onion rings and french fries. My husband enjoyed his pastrami sandwich saying it was delicious. I took a bite and the meat was tender. I had the cheeseburger which was mediocre. You can't expect fresh meat from a fast food joint. But, the beef was very artificial. On a good note, the charbroiled taste helped boost the flavor. The sides: french fries and onion rings were crispy good. They pile it up inside the take-out bag. This could have fed the whole family. They do not skimp on portions. If you want more bang for your buck then this is the place. The food was just average. This was a one time visit. read more

Really good. Better than expected. How's that? Was not from area, but found this place with several cars in lot. Good sign, right? Walked in and it's a typical looking Charburgers place. Menu was pretty extensive but upon seeing it on a patrons table, went with the steak and eggs. $10.99 Decent sized steak, cooked blood rare as I asked, two eggs, crispy hash browns and sourdough toast. Hot, fresh, served with a smile. Wish I had one of these closer to me. It was good. I remember seeing these around, will look harder. Place was well lit, clean, in order. Try! read more

You get what you expect, and the food is standard at best (though beware the breakfast burrito -- it's a beast, with everything possible piled into it), but it's a good place to wait out a car repair from the Fullerton Auto Clinic down the street. The service knows they're not there for conversation and you just want your food. Also nice to people-watch the blue-collar workers, spiffy murals painted inside, and a radio station I couldn't quite place. read more

Ordered the chili cheese fries. Quick service and great food. If you have been to a burger spot similar to this you know what to expect. Crisp fries. Hot cheese and chili! read more

This place is ok, not great. I really wanted a drive thru food that was not "fast food", it sort of did the trick. Biggest complaints: 1. Current prices not listed on the menu. 2. Prices were high 3. Breakfast burrito had mostly potatoes. Taste is good. 4. Beefeater was ok, dip juice was NOT good. It was watery juice that was red. This should be brown, with beef juices. It was watery enchilada sauce. . Not sure I will be back read more

Customer service here is excellent, but the food...not so much. I stopped for a late lunch and ordered food to go. The portions were enormous, which isn't a bad thing when you're hungry but the quality wasn't very good. The rice was old. So much so that the peas were shriveled and discolored and the rice was hard and flavorless. The beans were okay in flavor but, not hot. The tacos were huge and sloppy enough that I had to use a fork to eat some of it. It became overwhelmingly unappealing. Overall, just not a good experience for me. read more

I have yet to have a bad meal at Golden Ox. They FEED you here, meaning no skimpy portions. Ive eaten here so many times, I was here when the previous tenant, Bobs Burgers was here. In fact, I ate here when this place was Del Taco, and before that, NAUGLES! Im so old, I remember watching the building being constructed. In fact, I remember the old cafe that used to be here before this building was even dreamed of by anybody. Jack & Maggys Handy Lunch was here for the previous 25 years. Good times. BTW my profile picture was taken in 1990 right behind the restaurant, which was Del Taco at the time. read more

The worse place My Philly cheese steak was salty, the cashier rude, the place smells bad. And also I ordered a tuna melt sandwich with smell and taste fishy. If you think go to this place, good luck!!! read more

Typical burger joint, nothing too special. They did the fries exactly how we wanted: crispy and extra seasoning... Which was awesome. The burger was just the normal run of the mill burger, nothing special or standing out about it. Service was decent, pretty friendly and inviting for the most part. Location was clean and bright but a bit outdated feeling. But what killed it for me was... Charging $1 for a side of dressing, and it was one of those small paper cups, not even a bigger cup.. That's just being greedy... That's uncalled for, at this type of location. I'd probably only ever have the fries if I ever had to come here not of my own choice. read more
