The Wise Ox Butcher & Deli

This was my first time at The Wise Ox Butcher & Deli, and it absolutely will not be my last! We tried the Philly Cheesesteak, Double Cheeseburger, and Beef Fat Fries, and everything was extremely delicious. The Philly Cheesesteak was hands down my favorite Philly I have ever had, and the Double Cheeseburger was easily one of the best burgers of my life. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The Beef Fat Fries were perfectly crispy, flavorful, and the perfect side to go with everything. The Wise Ox completely exceeded my expectations. Amazing food, great flavors, and definitely a spot I will be coming back to again and again. Highly recommend!

The sandwiches are good, but everything is so absurdly overpriced. They barely put anything on the sandwiches and charge $10-$17 for all of them. This is the pitiful “torta”, which was $17. Then there’s the meat. Expect to pay two to three times what you would at a grocer for less of any cut. They have a wall of hot sauces and seasonings and mark everything up 200-300% ( they sell a box of maldon sea salt for $15 when it’s less than $5 at any grocer; costco has the 3lb tub for $15). The bottles of hot sauce are all $15+ and can be found online for half that. The whole place is one big money pit and for no reason whatsoever.

I decided to give The Wise Ox Butcher & Eatery a try after hearing about it multiple times. I’ll start with the positives their meat selection is honestly great. You can tell the quality is there, especially with their cuts and sausages. As for the food, it didn’t quite live up to the hype for me. I tried the double cheeseburger, aged burger, fries, and the Philly cheesesteak. Everything was just okay nothing terrible, but nothing that really stood out either. Overall, it felt like the dishes were lacking seasoning and flavor. If I was the head cook here I wouldn’t let these fries or burgers go out because they were burnt 😭 One thing that stood out (not in a good way) was the fries. We were given two bags, but they were mostly small, broken pieces like the ones in the photo. On top of that, they forgot our cheesesteak order, so we had to drive back to pick it up. I’m giving this place a 3/5 mainly because of the quality of their meat and sausages, but the prepared food and overall experience could definitely be better.

Came here a couple times, tried it once with coworkers and then tried it again myself when I was in the area. First time I ordered a Bologna Sandwich via online order. The bun was amazing and the sandwich was solid but I don't think I am a big bologna fan. The second time I ordered a Dry Aged Burger which had havarti cheese, bacon, house pickles, mayo and mustard. I also ordered Beef Fat Fries with a side of Chiptole Aioli and Thousand Island. This was an in person order and it does take about 15 minutes. The burger was bigger than expected, nice bun as the other sandwich. The Fries had so much flavor I didn't need any of the other sauces. Solid place and would recommend it!

We ordered the cheesesteak burger that was juicy and had that perfect savory, cheesy combo that hits immediately. The pepper turkey sandwich was fresh and balanced, not dry at all, and packed with flavor. From the butcher case, I picked out 2 New York strips and some citrus jerk chicken thighs from their refrigerated section. The quality of the meat looked fresh, well-cut, and beautifully marbled. Service: It was okay. The guy taking our order didn't make much eye contact, and when we asked to choose specific strips from the case, same. Not rude, just not very warm or welcoming. Parking: Limited. There are a few other shops/restaurants on the same corner, so it can be a little competitive finding a spot.
