Golden Ox Kansas City steakhouse

Had our Christmas celebration dinner at Golden Ox this year. The place feels very retro and has photos of the history of the stockyard everywhere. We...

Great food. But totally out of touch with the history and clientele. You don't play what sounds like the soundtrack from Hair at a steak house. Edgie is...

If you're looking for an extremely leisurely meal, this is the place. 20 minutes to get a drink, another 20 minutes to take our order and a full hour for supper. Very slow. The food is extraordinarily ordinary and overpriced and seasoned with a heavy hand of salt. Drinks are pricey which is probably why it takes so long to get ones meal. I can now say we tried this place and I'm probably not coming back.

Their dishes are expensive for a reason—because they are worth every penny spent. Delicious. I opted for the Manhattan steak (14oz of sheer bliss) with grilled asparagus. Our waiter John was great, and the general manger, Joe, shared great history about the stockyards beginnings and the fire that took it down. Every bite was savored and the ambiance takes you back to simpler times when beef—it was always what was for dinner!

It is a good restaurant, had to send my steak back for being undercooked, asked for medium, (not rare) not really impressed. I don't think the flavor justifies the price. Sorry, I really wanted this trip to he better. 25 min. drive for an undercooked steak, just not impressed.

The Golden Ox is a Kansas City icon. It reopened a few years ago and my husband and I had been wanting to try it ever since. To be honest I was a bit...

Loved taking a walk down memory lane on 7/30/22. Formerly from KC, back for a visit. Golden Ox was everything I remembered. Great service by Dexter, perfect steaks and oysters.

I made a reservation for my birthday and was seated immediately. My table of 3 ordered the oysters Rockefeller and calamari for appetizers. I had the strip steak for dinner, which was cooked fine. The sides (lobster mac and creamed spinach) left a lot to be desired. One main reason for this 3-star review is that the Golden Ox charges for steak sauce. Their house sauce is more akin to a barbecue sauce, it was very sweet and didn’t go with the steak at all. They have no other options either. Overall, the meal wasn’t worth what we paid ($320). Was it the worst overpriced steakhouse I’ve been to? No. Would I consider going again? Probably not.

Was in the mood for a lighter appetizer before the meal. Ordered the muscles to go along with the bread. When they came out they smelled pretty bad. My...
