Woman with brown hair and black glasses was extremely rude to all other staff on shift. Namely the hostess. I dont know her name, just that its not linda.Linda was our server and was ok. I could tell her section was packed and she was quite busy so im not too worried about her not checking on us till the end.My main concern was the fact that the other woman was being so negative and it was right near my table. I could hear everything. It was extremely offputting.

I can make better food at home. Empty restaurant, but still slow, inattentive service. Atmosphere felt awkward. I don't recommend.

Today the food and service were meh... so so... had a turkey bacon ranch wrap, the ranch was not even distributed over the wrap, 1st bite was all ranch, and the turkey was cubed with a funny taste. The actual wrap was like chewing cardboard. No beverage refills

Outside marquee needs new letters so people can understand what they're reading. Menus need cleaned. Salt shaker at the table we sat at needed attention. Something was on the inside of it as well. My burger didn't taste right. I could not finish it.

We were looking for something other than a chain restaurant. Found this on my car navigation. Turned out to be an excellent choice. The food was abundant and good! I had chicken fried steak that was enormous! The service was friendly and helpful.

I'll preface this review by stating that I have nothing to gain. We were traveling through the area and won't be passing this restaurant again. This is not written with the expectation of any retribution for my dissatisfaction. I'm merely giving an honest review to help others.First, the good: My wife got the bacon cheeseburger which she said was very tasty and loaded with bacon. I didn't try a bite because she put ketchup on it (I despise ketchup.)The server was friendly and really cared about our opinion on the food.I had to be honest when she asked how the gyro is ordered was. There was very little meat on it. I could barely taste the meat over the pita bread it was served on. I know growing up in the Chicago area has me spoiled by good gyros that are loaded with fresh meat. But this one was pretty pathetic. It wasn't even what I'd consider a junior portion. Even the fries that came with it seemed to be a smaller amount than what was served with my wife's burger.Recommendation: if you go to the Blue Ox, burgers are a good choice. But avoid the gyro. It definitely wasn't worth the $11.99 I was charged.BTW, the waitress followed through and my wife overheard her telling the owner there wasn't enough meat. So hats off to her ??
