The Golden Ox is a steakhouse restaurant located in the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange building in the West Bottoms neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri. Founded in 1949, the Golden Ox is the birthplace of the Kansas City strip steak. The Golden Ox is considered the oldest steakhouse in Kansas City, because though Jess & Jim's Steakhouse had opened more than one decade earlier in 1938, its Martin City neighborhood was not annexed into Kansas City until 1963. The original Golden Ox location closed permanently following dinner on December 20, 2014. On June 8, 2018, new owners leased the space and reopened the Golden Ox in a renovated portion of the original space.
