Blue Ox in Lynn. The food and atmosphere are awesome. Great unique choices on the menu. Try it you’ll love it!
May 21, 2010 at 6:34 am
The Blue Ox in Lynn is still rocking and keeping it fresh! Menu changes enough to keep you interested, but not so often that you can’t get your favorite meal. Dress up, dress down, by far, its the most comfortable place to be and has some of the best food! Don’t forget to try a Cooking Demo, meet the man whose planning your menu, he’s great to talk to and is excited to “talk shop” and hear your opinion!

The Blue Ox has the best tasting food on the North Shore by a long shot and the proximity to the Lynnway makes it an easy destination from Swampscott, Nahant, Marblehead and even Boston. Kudos to Matt and the crew at the Blue Ox. You got it right. You have earned all this attention!!

Lots of restaurants come and go. The Blue Ox in Lynn stands head and shoulders above the rest. I attended an event there one evening and it instantly became my favorite restaurant. I live in Maine but have driven there several times since then with my family just to eat at the Blue Ox. Great Place!

The Blue OX is THE hidden gem of the North Shore. The atmosphere is great along with fabulous service and great food.
May 21, 2010 at 9:11 am
The Blue Ox, Lynn, MA, no question. I always joke that my family must single-handedly keep them in business, we just can’t stay away. I currently live in Manhattan NYC which is pretty much the restaurant mecca. And yet, I can honestly say that The Blue Ox would give any one of those places a run for their money. Everyone is in love with their food from my 6 yr. old niece to my 82 yr. old grandmother. If you haven’t been, you’re missing out on a true gem.

The Blue Ox in Lynn, Massachusetts. The place is absolutely fantastic everytime we go……Food, friends and family what could be better. Check it out =-)
May 21, 2010 at 9:42 am
I had an opportunity to dine at the bar at the Blue Ox a couple weeks ago… an excellent experience.
The bartending staff was great and amazing to watch. Busy pumping out drinks but at the same time very attentive.
My wife had the steak special with garlic mashed potatoes a great choice.
The only mistake I made was assuming that I’d be able to walk in and get a table. While it was great sitting at the bar, next time I’ll be sure to make a reservation.
May 21, 2010 at 9:48 am
Blue Ox – by far the best steaks in town. Bar and service are superlative.
May 21, 2010 at 9:51 am

The Blue Ox is and elegant, high end eating experience at more than reasonable prices. This type of restaurant could easily be in the Back Bay. Everything I have eaten there has been excellent!
