Dublin-area diners will get a new wing spot when OX-B's opens at 7370 Sawmill Road on Aug. 20.

The chicken chain, which got its start serving out of a storage container in Newark, is planting its eighth central Ohio location in a strip mall that already includes Dulce Vida Ice Cream and Los Guachos Taqueria. The address sits just east of Dublin on Columbus' Far Northwest Side.

OX-B's president Joe Holbrook has steered the brand through rapid growth in 2026. The chain opened a stand-alone restaurant in downtown Marion in May and a counter inside Mount Vernon's Founders Food Hall in June before turning its attention to Sawmill Road, the Columbus Dispatch reported. The expansion came even as OX-B's closed its Short North location on July 26 after BrewDog, whose kitchen space the restaurant had been using, shut down earlier in the year.

In a July 20 Facebook post announcing the Short North closure, Holbrook said the company's scrappy origins prepared it for unconventional spaces: "Considering our company started out of shipping containers, we knew we could make it work."

The menu leans heavy on fried chicken in various forms: wings with sauces ranging from classic barbecue to "WAY Too Hot to Handle!," smothered cornbread, fried-to-order pork rinds and the Slopwich, a triple-carbed sandwich loaded with waffle fries, mac and cheese and boneless chicken. Wraps and salads round out the options.

Other central Ohio locations include Westerville, Pataskala/Reynoldsburg, Buckeye Lake, Lancaster and the original Newark shop.

The Sawmill Road location opens at 11 a.m. daily. Online ordering is available at oxbs.com, and the restaurant can be reached at (614) 705-6000.
