Ox Lake Tavern

Delicious & amazing addition back to Crosslake! I love their espresso ☕️ martinis 🍸!! Also breakfast in the summer - amazing!!!

This is by far the most welcome addition to the Crosslake area.
Everything about this place is FANTASTIC! By far the best cocktails you can get in the area...The espresso martini can't be beat. And the food...Wow. We've been here a few times since it changed from the Bourbon Room (thank goodness), and everything we have ordered has always been top notch.
Some favorites are the Swedish meatballs (I've had this three different visits now, and each time I'm floored by how good they are), the fried chicken sandwich (one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had), and the Burrata. Chefs kiss!
Plus, we've had the same server a few times (brown curly haired gal) and she's SO nice and always remembers us. Great service!
We will always return to this spot when going up North.
The best!

One server today, but she was really good and kept up. The Burger was one of the best I've had - hand patty, and the sauce made the difference. The atmosphere is quite comfortable with plenty of seating. Parking is lacking and we had to park on busy Hwy 66. Definitely recommend this place.

Ox Lake Tavern is Amazing! We love what the new owners did with it! Awesome cozy atmosphere! Delicious small plates (we’ve literally tried everything on the menu and really like Burrata Bruschetta, Swedish meatballs, Gyro bites, wings and the burger is so tasty) and specialty drinks, especially cosmos and espresso martinis are to die for! Please, do yourself a favor and go there!🍸

Everything I tried was amazing! Peach Old Fashioned, espresso martini was the best I’ve had. Swedish meatballs, burrata bruschetta, and the calamari. Ok, the calamari was the BEST. Crunchy corn meal breading gave it a great texture crunch! Love the lounge seating and cute accents. Nice job! 👍🏻🙌🏻
