Since 2009, The Blue Ox has quietly built a reputation as one of the North Shore’s culinary gems. Located in the heart of downtown Lynn, this upscale casual American restaurant blends timeless hospitality with a bold, modern approach to familiar favorites—earning both local devotion and critical acclaim.

Its famed “Sin Burger” has become a local legend, capturing Boston Magazine’s “Battle of the Burger” title for three consecutive years and securing a perennial place in Northshore Magazine’s “Best of the North Shore” honors.

But The Blue Ox is far more than its signature dish. With a menu that spans freshly shucked oysters, oak-smoked steaks, fresh seafood and house-made pastas, every plate reflects a commitment to quality ingredients and thoughtful execution. The bar program is equally impressive, featuring handcrafted cocktails as visually stunning as they are unique.

Equally known for its warm ambiance and polished service, The Blue Ox draws both loyal regulars and new guests alike, looking for that rare combination of sophistication and comfort. With the addition of a new outdoor patio this season, there’s never been a better time to discover what has made the Blue Ox a North Shore destination! Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, enjoying a night out, or simply chasing the perfect bite, The Blue Ox delivers—every time.
