Of all the places we could have chosen to celebrate our one-year anniversary, The Blue Ox was the perfect pick. The only regret we had was not saving enough room for dessert! The food, service, and atmosphere created a truly unforgettable experience.
The service staff and chefs were outstanding, and everything felt thoughtful and welcoming from start to finish. The experience we had was too good too not leave a review right away. We will most definitely be back.

One of the first restaurants to blaze the gentrification trail in Lynn. Was renowned for its upscale burger. Original owner sold the business in 2019. It's changed a little bit but not much.
My recent visit was a week ago. Got the oysters for an app, split with my date. I ordered the baked breast of chicken, it was very good, cooked to perfection.
The bar staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Always eager to engage in conversation. Cocktails are very well made.
In the ever changing landscape of Lynn, the Blue Ox remains a reliable favorite.

My girlfriends and I travel to Boston frequently and this is now one of our favorite places! The food was amazing, the music and atmosphere was energetic and fun and most of all our server, Wade (Nate) was top tier!!! We can’t wait to visit again!

We had Thanksgiving dinner at the Blue Ox, and it was superb! The food was beautifully prepared and seasoned, the drinks unusual and delicious, and the service stellar. Our server, Marjorie, was friendly, attentive and great fun. We were a party of six and we are a pretty lively brunch she took excellent care of us. The atmosphere is very comfortable and cozy and the vibe is friendly. This was our first visit but not our last! .

Had a fabulous meal here tonight. The highlight was our server Nate, who was hilarious and took great care of us. The calamari was exceptional and my winter squash risotto was delicious. We we’ll definitely be back.
We were 30 minutes early for our reservation and there was no table available in the dining room so we had to sit at a table in the bar. Our server while very friendly and courteous was covering many tables; 1-6 top, 2-4tops, and 4-2 tops as well as tending bar for awhile. It was probably good that he helped out at the bar though because drinks took awhile to get delivered after ordering. The Bacon and Legs drink and the in house made kahlua were very tasty. Our food took awhile to get to us and was delivered by a different staff member. Unfortunately my husband's food was cold. My food was good but my husband's burger had an off taste almost as if it had liver mixed in. The creme brulee was good, hard to eat with the fork they gave us though. The tres leches cake was very dry. Other than taking our orders we didn't see much of our server.

Guy provided great service, he really made us feel welcomed, the pear salad was fantastic and the burger did not disappoint. I missed Valentina tonight, she is one reason we return to the restaurant.
