Appetizers & Grilled Cheese Review
This place is very centrally located, which is exactly what we were looking for. My husband and I both work in different areas, so we wanted a spot in between our jobs where we could meet up after work to eat. This turned out to be a perfect choice.
Most bars have the exact same predictable appetizers — you can almost guess what’s on the menu before you even look. This is the first place I’ve been to in a long time that actually had some unusual and interesting offerings.
We ordered the spicy green beans, cheese curds, and a grilled cheese sandwich that came with coleslaw.
The spicy green beans were great — crispy, well seasoned, and not greasy. A really solid appetizer and something you don’t see everywhere.
The cheese curds here were totally different from any I’ve had before. They weren’t just chunks of cheese that were battered and fried. They had a slight chewiness to them and a much better texture. They were so good and came with a house-made blue cheese dip that was very chunky and flavorful. My husband loved it so much he asked for another container and finished all of it. He said it was absolutely delicious.
Then there was the grilled cheese — hands down, the best grilled cheese I’ve ever had. It’s on sourdough, the outside is perfectly crunchy, and the cheese inside is super gooey with a very generous amount of it. I added extra tomatoes, and they put them on perfectly so they weren’t cooked down. You got the gooeyness of the cheese, the crunch of the bread, and the slight sweetness of the tomatoes all in one bite. It was phenomenal.
The grilled cheese also came with coleslaw, and that was really good too. It wasn’t dry at all — there was enough sauce to coat everything nicely, and it had just a slight kick to it. Overall, the coleslaw was very flavorful and a great side for the sandwich.
Overall, we were extremely pleased with everything we ordered and will definitely be coming back.
To top it off, we had amazing service from Eric, who I believe is also the bartender. When we came in it wasn’t very busy, and he took care of us right away. He was super cheerful and friendly — exactly the kind of energy you want at the end of a workday. Shout-out to Eric — you’re awesome.
I also noticed they have pool tables and dartboards in a little separate area, so there are lots of things to do besides just eating and drinking. It also wasn’t very smoky at all, which I really appreciated.
I would absolutely recommend coming here to try the different appetizers and, for sure, the grilled cheese.

Great food with great service. The biscuits and sausage gravy was really good, a lot of sausage. The grilled cheese with tomato soup was also good. The Reuben sandwich was stacked high and delicious. The coleslaw and french fries were also very good. Especially delicious were the barbecued fried pork belly bites. Lynn was very attentive to our needs and was very friendly. Another great visit! Lastly, I sure am glad they have Miller High Life.
This is a nice tavern, dedicated to the Minnesota Vikings! There is a bar with gaming, a game room with pinball, pool, darts, skeeball, and a golf game. Large indoor space with various seating options. Lots of TVs all over the place showing mostly sports. We ordered fish and chips and fish tacos, I guess because we like fish lol. Both dishes were very good, and served hot and fresh. The french fries were good and the coleslaw was obviously homemade and very delicious. I don’t know what sauce that was on the fish tacos, but it was also good. The fried fish was pretty good, but a little bit greasy. Lynn was friendly and did a good job serving us. Personally, I was glad to see all three varieties of Miller beer available, Miller Lite, Miller High Life and MGD; all available on the happy hour menu. Prices were reasonable. The bathrooms were clean. Overall, we had a nice visit.

First time checking out Blue Ox and it was great! Pretty cool space with gaming /bar games and the service by Gail was superb! All the food was good as well. Fish tacos, prime rib French dip and the dill chicken sandwich were all tasty! Additional photos located on my profile page and videos on my YouTube page ( vivalasvegasx )

Outstanding Tavern with great food! Staff is friendly and is very attentive. Ongoing cooking classes make this restaurant an extra special place to the heart of Las Vegas. I had the mushroom onion burger with their homemade Cole slaw, to die for. The Blue Ox burger is on point, juicy and huge, with French fries perfectly seasoned and crispy yet moist on the inside.

Eric, Johnny, and Courtney are the best bartenders here. We come here all the time just us or with friends and it’s never a bad time. Good drinks good food fun gambling plus a pool table and games, skee ball and pinball machines make it all the worth while. If you catch the owner here he’s a great guy to have a conversation with. We love it here and we’ll always come back!

Since I moved out to Vegas 6 months ago, I have been to atleast 10 different types of bar restaurant or tavern bars outside the strip area and I must say Blue Ox is a special kind in terms of their dim light, cozy & comfortable environment/ vibes.
Very nice courteous staff, I have interacted mostly with Nathan and he is an awesome person & a friendly, respectful bar tender.
Definitely the food & drinks all are good, while what stands out most to me is they have ‘$3 mystery alcohol shots’ every day 24/7 which is so awesome specially on Friday / weekend nights when you feel like having more drinks.
It would be awesome if they can start offering hookah too .

I was impressed! Not only was the service fast and friendly. The food was great. The chicken strips are made fresh daily and a good portion. The burger was also incredible. Onion rings were breaded perfectly. If you have never had cheese curds, you have to try them here and you will want to order seconds Yum!

We were looking for a place to watch our home team play football while they were in Dublin. Nice to find a pub that’s a HOME town Vikings pub.
