My father was coming to the Appleton area for a visit and asked if Red Ox was still around. I had never heard of it, but he was telling me he and my mother used to dine here when they were in college (some 35+ years ago). I checked out the menu online and was like "sure, that's quite the menu!" We went on a Friday night. The place was busy. We had a little over an hour wait. But, don't let that scare you! The drinks in the bar were awesome and the conversation we struck up with other patrons and the bartenders were great! Our table was called and we asked our server for some recommendations. I asked about the prime rib - she said it was one of the best in the area. I asked about the ribs - her face lit up when she said "oh, those are my favorite! You have the get the peach and cherry bbq sauces!!" I ordered the prime rib with a half rack of ribs. I ordered them plain so I could try both BBQ sauces. My father got the New York Strip. Both came with soup and a potato. First, the French onion soup was spectacular! Rich and oniony, and the cheese was perfectly melted! Totally could have had another bowl! Then the entrees came out. WOAH!!! The New York Strip was like a side of beef and incredibly charred (per request) on the outside. My prime rib was so tender and juicy, the au jus was some of the best I've ever had. AND THEN THE RIBS....they were fall-off-the-bone tender and even plain - DELICIOUS!! The Door County Cherry BBQ sauce was tangy and had cherries in it! The Bourbon Peach BBQ sauce had a good kick of bourbon and incredible peach flavor. The sauces were perfectly blended and you didn't miss any of the flavors!! Of course, we were too full for dessert but that just means we'll have to go back for more! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place!!! Put it on your shirt list of dining options for a fantastic meal and friendly service!!!

When I first visited Wisconsin a few years ago this was the first supper club I ever visited. I have been back a few times since moving up here and took my buddy here last night for his first supper club experience. All the times I have visited I have always sat at the bar as they have 1/2 price appetizers which lets you save money and spend more on drinks. Drinks- They make amazing drinks. They have never had an issue making a drink I have requested. That being said, you should definitely get an Old Fashioned and Moscow Mule while you are here. They also usually have a special cocktail that is on the chalkboard and they usually are delicious as well. Food- The food here is fantastic. While I have mainly had their appetizers, I haven't had any food I didn't like. Speaking of appetizers, these are some of the best appetizers you can get anywhere. If you sit at the bar, lounge, or outside you can take advantage of the 1/2 price deal and easily make a meal out of them with a few selected. You can also share with a friend and get a wide variety of filling and delicious foods. Price- This is actually a very good price for the quality of service and food that you get. We ordered 4 filling appetizers and 5 cocktails and our total was under $50. Service- Service was fantastic. Every employee was friendly and they never rushed us to get out. If you want a great supper club, this one is definitely one of the best in the area. I will continue to visit this place and bring out of town guests who have not been to a supper club before as its a good one for a first one.

Red Ox Thurs. Dec 30th 5pm Dinner for 6 adults. We were in a smaller room off the entrance and noise was not an issue. Reservations got us seated promptly. Waitress Jessica was excellent! Started with appetizers of Fried Pickles, and Rings & shrooms which were all delicious. Bar service was very timely and we ordered a variety. Jessica kept checking for refills ❤️. The broccoli cheese soup was delicious (had onions in it), French Onion Soup very delicious. Garden salad was a healthy portion with plenty of dressing (next time I will get it on the side). Prime Rib was Awesome! The bacon wrapped crab stuffed shrimp were alright but next time I will just get the broiled shrimp. Twice baked potato had great flavor! Jalapeño tempura shrimp were very good (leftovers reheated in air fryer were also very good). Shrimp and scallop jambalaya had good flavor. Red Russian sauce Kabob’s were delicious and they were accommodating by giving him a small taste of the sauce ahead of time to see if he really wanted to order it. Salmon with the Jack Daniels glaze was amazing (part of a combo with 10 oz steak.) No room left for desert, we never felt rushed, very attentive staff, we all would recommend The Red Ox, but make reservations, go early, plan on taking home leftovers.

Took my 13 yo daughter here for her birthday on a Sunday night (2/6/22). We didn't have a reservation, but got there at about 4:30pm and we were able to be seated immediately. Server was great. Food was ok, but not worth what I paid IMO. My daughter got the prime rib princess cut, she loved it and it looked good. I got the 2 inch thick New York strip steak. I ordered it medium, half of it came rare, the other half was medium to medium rare. I understand it is an extra thick steak, but if you can't cook it properly then don't serve it. Couldn't really taste seasoning on it, because it is served with au jus (the au jus did not come on the side). I got one plate with my steak sitting in a puddle of liquid that was sloshing around, and another smaller plate for my baked potato. Presentation is part of the appeal of a $30+ steak, and this had very little. The salad and appetizers were really good though, and since I took most of the steak home I didn't complain about it being undercooked since I would be cooking it again anyways. My wife's dinner appeared to be cooked ok, she didn't have any major complaints. But for a $150 dinner bill with tip, I feel I should have a better experience. We may go back at some point to give them another try, but doubtful.

Atmosphere and place is nice. Typical WI supper club. Went for dinner. We got a free order of bread with a sweet butter, not my favorite. The bread serve goes better with a herb savory butter. The order of Cajun Salmon with a side of broccoli, salson was dry and very simple presented, just the filet of fish with Cajun powder over it, the bowl of broccoli just your usual frozen broccoli. I ordered Salmon Diablo, Chipotle Hollandese sauce sounded kinda good. Not so much, two piece of what seemed like breaded salmon 🤨 with some sort of stuffing looking mash thing, that tasted like bananas. Not very good. Fish was also overly cooked and dry. My side of double baked potatoes was ok. Presentation good, flavor... again they mixed that sweet butter in the potatoes and that was not good for me. Some people might love it, I don't know. We both just eat 25% of our servings. :( The soup was good and service was excellent. Thank you Alex.

Another hidden gem. Got in just before closing and had the place all to ourselves. Started with some apps. Stuffed mushroom caps, fresh fried mozzarella and BBQ rib bones with bread. Starters were absolutely delicious. Main course for me was the Jurassic Pork with a side of French onion soup. One of the other gents with me had the Chicken Cordon Bleu with a side of shrimp. We decided to split our meals to get a little more variety. Pork chop was ginormous. Fully cooked and tender. I found a tad tad bit of pink but rolled the dice anyway cause it looked cooked well enough to me. Had great flavors and was very filling. So prior to digging in I cut a good piece of the chop and shared with my buddy. He gave me some of his CCB w/ shrimp. I thought I had a pic of the CCB but apparently not. Well served plate. It was even more delicious than the pork chop....there will definitely be a revisit of in the area.
