What’s New at Ox Kitchen

Ox Kitchen, in Fairhope, continues to evolve its menu and offerings with a focus on fresh ingredients, flexibility and health-conscious diners. Known for its made-from-scratch approach and family-friendly atmosphere, the locally owned restaurant is expanding beyond fast-casual dining to offer more convenient and nourishing options.

“Our goal is to provide quality food, made fast,” says owner Bo Hamilton. “We do a great job of that, but many hungry, busy people don’t have time to order at the counter and wait. Our hope is that the grab-and-go cooler will offer one more convenient way to get quality, affordable food on the go.”

New for 2026, Ox Kitchen is introducing a healthy grab-and-go cooler for days when a wholesome meal is needed without the wait. The cooler will feature a rotating selection of customer-favorite salads and wraps, along with new menu additions that emphasize balance, flavor and clean ingredients. Highlights include a southwest power bowl; a protein-packed bowl with quinoa, tomato, avocado, corn, black beans and house-made cilantro dressing; and the berry and feta salad made with spring mix, strawberries, blueberries, feta and sunflower seeds.

Hamilton says customer interest could shape future offerings. “We’ve had multiple requests to start bottling our homemade salad dressings, sauces and housemade pickles. Stay tuned for where this goes,” he exclaims.

Additional new items include a turkey wrap prepared with house-smoked natural turkey and Brussels sprouts tossed in ponzu sauce for a savory, plant-forward side. These additions complement the existing menu while giving guests more ways to enjoy nutrient-dense meals that don’t sacrifice taste. Ox Kitchen is also expanding its catering services, offering pick-up and drop-off catering for offsite events and in-house parties of all sizes. With thoughtful menu growth and a continued commitment to quality, the restaurant remains a go-to destination for simple, satisfying food made fresh daily.
