I hate to rate (whoa, rhyme!) a place solely based on a singular visit, however I do think this…read moreoccasion is appropriate. Scenario- weekday visit- two first time guests. Walked in and was awkwardly greeted by locals (turning around away from their usual bar seats) staring at me deliberately as I entered like that of outlaws in a western film observing an outsider. (Maybe I'm just that hot? Haha! No way) Anyway, the uncomfortable awkwardness was instantly wiped away by our adorable server. She promptly greatest us kindly, in her northern plaid attire, fair complexion and strawberry blonde hair. She kept very good care of us throughout our visit, but my one complaint is- she never offered a drink menu to us. In a bar that's a bit strange. Ever been the sole sober table in a bar? Unfortunately I have many, many times. In bar standards the food was good, and for the price I would recommend.

The peppermint espresso martini was absolutely perfect and the guys loved their old fashions. For food we ordered spicy tuna crispy rice, devilish eggs, burrata bruschetta, Thai turkey lettuce wraps, the grilled cheese, and their chicken tenders. The highlights for me were the spicy tuna crispy rice and Thai turkey lettuce wraps. I would order that again in a heart beat. My husband and brother in law are now obsessed with their grilled cheese. Even their chicken tenders are delicious, especially with their house made ranch. The bruschetta could have used more balsamic, but that's the only complaint. The entire bar is completely lit up right now and decorated to the nines! So many fun areas to take pictures and it almost feels like you're in a movie. Our server wasn't overly friendly, but did the job and service was fairly quick. Even when the holiday pop up isn't there, we still love to visit the Ox since new ownership took over. It gives Crosslake a different type of bar to visit than the usual!

Ambiance - comfortable booths or tables. Clean and non-distracting atmosphere…read more Food: Excellent. I had the sausage and cheese omelet with hash browns, sourdough toast. The toast was four slices and we'll buttered. The hash browns where cut like angel hair pasta. The eggs were served medium well. Everything was good. Service: I requested salsa and Texas Pete for my hash browns. There was no hesitation on their part to supply my request. When I ran out of drink, I only had to make eye contact with the service staff, and my request was answered immediately. My take on this place overall: A family run business whose present heir manages it with an eye for detail in all its operating aspects. Perhaps not the most socially adapt, her manners are concise and committed. A great place to stop for an omelet or BLT.

Love the atmosphere, good drinks but a little expensive (but so is everything these days). My…read more'maybe' recommendation is because I ordered a BLT and what I got was two thin slices of bacon, one leaf of lettuce and one slice of a very small tomato on Texas toast so basically I got thick toast with a little bit of BLT for 14 bucks. The fries were excellent, however. I will give it another try because the people there are super nice and like I said the atmosphere is pretty cool. I saw some others sit down with a burger of some sort and that was pretty substantial so maybe it's just the BLT is lacking. If my next experience is good, I'll definitely give you more than three stars. Three is only because it's One more than the bacon I got on my sandwich.
