The Golden Ox turns 60 and goes hog wild!

Did you know that the Golden Ox now serves Sunday brunch? If you want to know a lot more about that, you can read my Cafe review in next week’s Pitch.

If you want to know about this venerable steak joint’s full month of 60th birthday festivities, read on…

On this Saturday, May 2, the first 60 people in line at the restaurant — still in its original location at 1600 Genessee in the West Bottoms — before 6 p.m. will receive a complimentary 12-ounce Kansas City Strip dinner. (This deal is all about being the first people in line — reservations not accepted to get into the line!)

Next Saturday, May 9, every patron dining during the dinner hours will receive a slice of anniversary cake.

On Saturday, May 16, couples celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary will receive a steak supper for two in the Hoof and Horn Room. “They must bring proof of their wedding date,” said the restaurant’s spokesperson Pat Paton, “and make reservations.”

The restaurant will offer — from Saturday, May 23, through Friday, May 29, only — a 6-ounce filet entree for $14.95 during the dinner hours. From Saturday, May 30, through Saturday, June 6, the Golden Ox will offer a 6-ounce filet and grilled shrimp dinner (including salad, baked potato, and garlic bread) for $19.49 during the dinner hours.
