Red Ox Tavern

Food and beer was good. I wasn’t a fan of the elevator music they had playing the entire time. Service was very nice. I will definitely be back.

Should be a big zero! The waitress came to our table 3 times, once for our drink order, once to bring the drink and take our food order, a final time when we got up and walked out after 45 minutes and no meal. This was after talking to a manager who was going to see about our food. She disappeared and after editing 15 minutes for her we decided to leave. It wasn’t that busy in there either. Would never recommend or go back!

Food was average bar food. We had appetizers, dinner, and cocktails. Average… Applebee’s level food and bar. Nothing exciting. Nothing to return for…

The Manager Joe Church is always very accomadating and helpfull. The wait staff is fantastic and definite professionals. My favorite bartender is Jon Rice. He makes the best drinks in town and is a great conversationalist. Great food and atmosphere. Worth checking out for sure.

It’s a nice place. Very reasonably priced and the food is fine. I’ve been there a few times for book club. I’m just not really excited about it.
In fairness, it may be for a younger crowd. Lots of TVs and music.
hut B the food is kinda mushy heavy and the furniture not so cozy.
Meh for me.

This place was great at one time !!! I use to go there a lot but the menu needs to change somewhat. If they do this would be one of the best sports bars in a 15 mile radius .They burnt my salmon twice in a row but they did take it back. Oh, Well !!! Cooks come and go. The ribs are good but not great .I’ve had better burgers at dive bars but they’re better then some of the other so called sports bars in the area .What can I say that it’s a sport bar not fine dinning but I’m sure you can find something to your liking. They do have (some) good food on the menu .Wait staff comes and goes, so take it with a grain of salt. What you’ll find here is a quit dinning area and a very large sports bar area with t.v.s everywhere with a large collage crowd. Music on Tuesday and Thursday by a great one man band and music and the weekends by some of the best local talents. Now that I’ve moved I truly missed the place burnt salmon and all.

The service here is fast and friendly. The live music is usually good. The outdoor seating by the fire is amazing. Solid beer list. Other cocktails are pretty pricey. I’ve tried a few of their appetizers and the selection is good but none of them are stellar tasting. Generous portion sizes though.

It has a great variety on the menu and at the bar, but was dissapointed in the quality of my food. I got the veggie panini and it was way to greasy to eat. It was all bread and cheese, barely any veggies. I had to pick it apart to eat. The spinich dip has a weird spice kick to it, I think it’s horseraddish, I didn’t like it. My mom got the fettuccine alfredo and added shrimp. To add shrimp it’s a $ 6 up charge… which is pretty high for a bar and the shrimp was tiny and barely any in there. My Grandma got the rueben, and said it wasn’t all that. Everything was ok, not good or great. The atmosphere and service is what kept this rating decent.

This place is one of my staples due to location, beer selection, and a really good pizza. It’s an all American bar and restaurant that offers everything but not everything is worth ordering. Here’s what they do well: pizza, killer killer breadsticks with garlic cream cheese, beer selection, chicken kabobs, burgers, and their Cuban sandwich.
It’s mostly a sports bar with a flowing waterfall wall behind the bar, shuffleboard, keno, and a large covered patio with fire pit. It’s good for happy hour, dinner, lunch, getting together to watch a game. It’s terrible when it’s karaōke night or a live band is playing. It can get annoying. Also right across the street from Oakland University and close to the freeway.
Really can’t go wrong with Red Ox for all your drinking and eating wants.

Not a fan,…, and poor customer service. I ordered the burger that has cream cheese, sundried tomatoes, and salami. I asked for it with NO tomatoes, and medium rare. It came out with tomato slices, a toothpick on top, AND sundried tomatoes. I would’ve been fine picking off the slices, but the pile of sundried tomatoes was too much. I asked for a new one. The «new» burger came out and I got 2 bites in when I noticed a toothpick hole in the bottom bun (the «new» burger was NOT served with a toothpick in it). So I opened up the burger and saw tomato seeds inside and a sundried tomato chunk. So instead of a new burger, they turned my burger over and said «here you go». On top of it all, it was cooked well done. I was FAR from impressed and will never go back. I strongly suggest you be careful if your order isn’t right. You may just get the original meal served back to you!! h

The waitress ashley was sooo snooty. The food was not bad at all… The atmosphere not bad at all… The crap service wrecks everything.

They have lots of space but the night that i was there most of the tables where empty. I had one of the worst burgers of my life here. But the service was good and the waitress was very nice. Full bar and a normal selection of beer.

I’ve been here enough times recently for work lunches to give this a well-​earned 3-​star review.
This is a big place outfitted with flat screen TVs all over the place. There is ample seating if you have a large party. There’s also a shuffleboard table which is pretty cool.
They have an awesome selection of beer that rotates, highlighting many of Michigan’s local brews.
The food generally sucks, unfortunately. It’s just not good, and sometimes bordering on bad. However, the club sandwich seems like a safe bet… And I hear the pizza is good. Maybe I’ve just made bad choices?
Service is friendly and it’s a pretty fun place to hang out. I think if they improved the food quality a bit, it could sneak up to a 4-​star place.

Good food. Great selection. Pizza is very good. Empty, so it’s easy to get a seat, but I don’t see this place staying in business because it’s off the path where people go. And, the food isn’t amazing.

Great bar with a nice, friendly atmosphere. The nightly specials are usually a pretty good deal. The beer selection is good, not the biggest around, but still a decent size. The food is great, far better than the usual type food you find in a place that’s more bar than resaurant. The kitchen stays open late as well, so there’s food still coming out a 2 in the morning.

Great bar/​restaurant with plenty of seating both inside and outside. I always pick a burger off their specialty menu which is $ 10 (with waffle fries).
Their pizzas are also fabulous and I plan on getting another one real soon.

Nice beer selection. Mediocre food.
Hamburger with a stale bun. Cold fries. Mushy sweet potato fries.
Wife’s Cuban panini was excellent, however.

Great sports bar. Good for beers with friends or taking the family during the day. The staff is friendly and attentive. Wide variety of food options, good salads and sandwiches.
Best thing, they get the general manager involved with any food allergy questions. My son has several allergies and they thoroughly reviewed the allergens and gave us food options for him.

I went here today for a team outing. This is a review for the food only (they had lots of beers but I didn’t try any).
I liked the broccoli slaw (nice balance between the broccoli, noodles, minced veggies and spices. The vegetable panini was pretty OK; the asparagus pieces were the highlight, the rest of it just melded together (mildly tasty but not the best I’ve had). The waffle fries needed work (or maybe they were just not my style). They weren’t really warm and they were a bit too far to the chewy side of the crunchy and chewy continuum.
Small food criticisms aside, the Red Ox is a good sports bar choice in the area, preferable to some other surrounding ones.

I love Mondays! Want to know why? TRIVIA! They have trivia night here every Monday night and I just love it. They also offer a pitcher of beer and pizza special as well. The waitresses have all been great and we have never had a bad time here. They have numerous beers on tap. just don’t ask for a Black & Tan (it’s yucky, they don’t know how to make them). If you place in trivia, you get a gift card for Red Ox so that’s a bonus!
