Red Ox Seafood and Steakhouse

Stumbled in on the way home from the Packers game... We were greeted pretty quickly after being seated. The waitress was kind and answered all my questions regarding menu items. The food came out in a timely manner and everyone enjoyed their meals. I mean we were starving! Definitely hit the spot! Drinks were cold, food was hot. We left with full bellies ready for a nap! This place is super casual. A little loud but not obnoxiously so, you can still hold conversation at your table and hear everyone. Pub environment. Looks old but is clean.

I visited with few customer and has a great experience. Customers ordered sour whiskey old fashions after two more each they concluded they enjoyed the drink. We all ordered different meals and they arrived at the same time. TheMeals were excellent and plentiful. Although full we all ordered deserts. My customers usually pick the Restaurants and this was anotherExcellent pick.

Over rated and over priced.Food is mediocre.Not at all what you would expect for the price you pay.

Delicious meal- cooked perfectly, homemade, large portions, and awesome flavors. The waitstaff was very friendly and knowledgeable about their menu. It was an all-around great experience and it is a new favorite for steak in the valley.

We stopped into the Red Ox recently with friends. The place looks like it has not been updated or remodeled in many years. (Visually very dreary) They do feature a huge bar area if you were waiting to be seated unfortunately they don't offer any craft cocktails or signature drinks just your basics ...wine + beer etc. We waited about an hour to be seated. I thought this was an upscale supper club, but everyone around us was dressed very casually some in shorts as if they were going to the grocery store. YIKES! We were the only people dressed up. There was a gentleman standing by the hostess table wearing sweaty gym shorts and wrinkled T-shirt ...who look like he was going to play basketball. One of the staff members told me he was the owner. WHAA?? I can't believe the owner wouldn't dress up, especially in what is considered to be an upscale supper club. (sigh and Welcome to Wis!) Our waitress was not the friendliest person on the block. Once we were presented with menus and I was a bit disappointed that they did not have more options...nor any healthy options. Especially in today's society.... 2024 not 1974.We inquired about a few dishes on the menu and the waitress responded that there were no substitutions or changes. I thought the prices were extremely high for what you're getting.(about $40+ pp) This was not gourmet food. I would consider this restaurant to be a 2 or 3 out of five stars. We were a table of six adults. We each ordered something different and tried each others. Unfortunately, none of us meals primarily because they were all very dried out and superplant basically flavorless. The whole point of going out is to get a beautiful plate of food that you're not able to create at home. This was not it.All the tables were smashed together. One of the biggest disappointments was the position of OUR table. We were crammed in a corner in which half of our group were against the wall and not able to get out. The only exit was into another table, which wasn't an exit. We asked the waitress if we could simply slide the table forward, 2 feet in order to make it easier for our group to get in and out - she responded ..."that's not possible." We were all very disappointed!! Our recent dining experience at the red ox was not a great one. I have not been there in years, except for just recently. I don't feel we were treated very special by the staff, except for one female bartender, who was very nice to me. The owner did not greet us nor did he swing by the tables to ask how the guests dining experience was. Classless if you ask me. The overall vibe was a bit stiff. The people dining there, including the staff were very standoffish, and no one was overly friendly. Can't say that we're excited to go back. There are way too many other restaurants in the Fox Cities to choose from. I guess if you were a regular there, and this is what you consider normal, its your kind of place. To the rest of us who have traveled outside of Wisconsin and outside of the US, we expect excellence. I have worked in customer service my entire life. This place needs a re-vamp because it is not making the cut! Here are a positive few tips that we hve gathered for your consideration...- the owner and staff should dress up-add a summer signature drink or two to your menu- offer an up charge to any item on your menu to customize and accommodate guests- take a few tables out and move things around slightly in order to make each seating arrangement more comfortable and easier for the guest to get out of their chairs- add a few healthy choices to your menuBEST WISHES!

The lunch prime rib meal is a great deal. All food ordered was good. It was surprisingly all good considering the interior needs a refresh.

Of all the restaurants in the Fox Valley, the Red Ox is in my Top 3. They have fantastic lunch and dinner menus and provide a great value for the cost. You'll get delicious homemade bread with honey butter (yum!), soup/salad (I highly recommend a crock of the French Onion soup!) and a choice of potato (love the twice baked) with most of the options on the menu. They also have a great Kid's Menu with lots of choices - my daughter's favorite is the pizza; which a huge, super cheesy, personal pizza. It is very busy on Friday and Saturday nights, so make sure to call as soon as they open and make a reservation!

Celebrated my birthday last night with my husband and 2 friends and we were all impressed with the food and service. It was an excellent experience. Our friends have lived in Appleton for 17yrs and have never dined at Red Ox. We will all be returning soon

Great food, wonderful menu! The chicken breast with crab cake and sauce in top...chefs kiss!

First time here! Seated right away with our party of 4 at approximately 620pm on a Wednesday night. Our server was Andrew. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Wed/Sun have food specials. Like half off a full rack of ribs, and so much more. Truly hard to narrow down what to select with their diverse menu. The strip steak did not disappoint. It came out perfectly medium rare. It was busy, yet the ambiance of the restaurant was nice. We'll be back to try more of the menu!
