$50 Gift Certificate The Golden Ox Restaurant opened it's doors in May of 1949. The restaurant's purpose was simply to furnish a good place to dine for the ranchers, farmers, and their wives who brought their livestock to the stockyards, featuring the then and now World-famous Kansas City Steak. Mr. Jay Dillingham, President and Chairman of the Board of the Kansas City Stockyards Company, founded the restaurant. The Stockyards Company's insistance on the best quality for customers made the GoldenOx an instant success. Of course, their experience and knowledge of beef were also big assets. The history of the Golden Ox Restaurant goes beyond its own 59 year history. The restaurant's roots go all the way back to 1871 when the first independent stock yard was organized and facilities erected in the Kansas City west bottoms on the east bank of the Kaw river. The first exchange building was only twenty-four feet square. This area had always been a trading center, dating back to the days when trappers, hunters, and Indians came to trade furs, livestock, grains, and other valuable commodities. Over the years the stock yards grew rapidly as the remaining frontier was opened and settled. At one time over 1.8 million cattle per year passed through the Kansas City Stockyards. Today the stock yards are gone, but the tradition lives on. The Golden Ox Restaurant is a big part of that tradition, located on the first floor of the Livestock Exchange Building in the heart of the stock yards. Our professional staff serves the highest quality steaks and The Golden Ox is one of the few restaurants that continues to have its steaks aged and hand cut. Visit the Golden Ox Restaurant and discover the real reason Kansas City is famous for it's steaks! |
