Ox is an Argentine steakhouse in Portland, Oregon's Eliot neighborhood, in the United States.[1][2][3]

History

[edit]

Greg and Gabrielle Denton opened Ox in 2012.[4][5][6] A "spillover space" called Whey Bar opened later in the year.[7]

In 2015, a ventilation malfunction filled Ox with smoke and forced an evacuation.[8] The restaurant released a cookbook in 2016.[9][10] Ox began taking reservations in 2019.[11] Kurt Huffman owns at least a 20 percent stake in the restaurant, as of 2020.[12]

Reception

[edit]

Ox was named Restaurant of the Year by The Oregonian in 2013.[13] Ox received honorable mention in the Best Restaurant, Best SteakHouse, and Best Chowder categories in Willamette Week's annual "Best of Portland Readers' Poll" in 2015.[14] The restaurant ranked third in the Best Steak House category in 2017.[15]

The Dentons were nominated for Portland's Chef of the Year by Eater Portland's Eater Awards in 2016.[16] The duo won in the Best Chef Northwest category by the James Beard Foundation Awards in 2017.[17][18] Brooke Jackson-Glidden included the smoked bone marrow clam chowder in Eater Portland's 2024 overview of "iconic" Portland dishes.[19]
