The Oxford Saloon is in it's own catagory. Very unique and I have absolutely nothing to compare it to. I wouldn't say it's one of Missoula's hidden gems, but it's different.
The Oxford is a staple of Missoula Montana. If you don't like it get out. If your a decent respectable human being welcome to the last best place on earth.
Great hamburgers. The double was so big I needed a steak knife to eat it. Really enjoyed talking to the dishwasher too... She was the highlight of our visit.
I was a little but pissed, I ordered two beers and only had a cc card, the lady was slow to get my second, just started at me while I waved my Emory beer at her. Then made me give her my card for both beers. The Oxford advertises a4.25 Hamm's made burger. And the guy comes up and says, that will be seven dollars, I could not tip them. They obviously got their money. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Unless... The beer munchies at two am and feel like getting ripped off.
The food is somewhat diner-ish. My burger was too well-done for me, but that is my own fault for not inquiring. Everything came piping hot and ready to eat. Staff is nice and helpful. I will visit again.
Great place to go and play some live poker with locals. Restaurant is open after bar time, hence this place is good for after hours greasy goodness. They used to serve "Cow Brain" Omlettes but that may just be an urban myth. The cheese fries served here are to die for, maybe literally. ;] Location is prime because it is in the center of downtown and right on Higgins Ave.
Great place to hang out and eat some good classic food to wash down the alcohol. Or a late night trip to play a little keno? Live poker, pool, drunk locals, and the awesome familiar staff makes for a good time at The Ox!
I grew up eating the food here, everyone's so friendly. Eating their amazing burgers always puts a smile on my face. The food and atmosphere are both amazing!
WELL THE FOOD IS GREAT...BUT THE RUDEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER SEEN..THE WAITER GUY IS RUDE ND DIDNT EVEN ASK WHAT WE WANTED TO EAT...RUSHED OUR ORDER GOT MAD AT US ABOUT WHAT WE ORDERED....IF I KNEW THIS I WOULD HAVE TAKEN MY MONEY ELES WHERE THIS PLACE NEEDS HELP
This place is absolutely wonderful! I actually went there TWICE during my less than 24 hour trip to Missoula! Once for some late night breakfast after the STS9 show at the Wilma, then again the next morning with all of our friends from Bigfork. They went downstairs and cut everyone's steaks, fresh. And it was so affordable, at least to us, now that we love in Spokane. 8 Caesars were only $28!
You can get breakfast 24 hrs a day. Their Ox Burger is one of Missoula's best, or can be. It offers a well lubricated breakfast, which is especially nice after a few drinks.
This used to be my favorite place!! Now the cooks are rude, mean, and are continually agruing. They make up rules and only cook some things and make excuses for others. Take your money elsewhere. This place needs some help.
