Such a disappointment....We have been loyal hamburger hounds for many years. Our Sat night burger/steak sandwich meals were NoT good. The meat was lacking taste, the buns were cold and tasted stale , the fries were over cooked and not fresh and hot. My husband's mushroom Swiss burger was really bad. The cheese was not melted and the mushrooms were mostly cold. The house chips were the only good thing served. No chili or soup was available either. It was not very busy and a huge disappointment. We had bad fish meals a month ago and now the burgers are in the same category. 20/30 yrs of Mr Cinders has come to a very sad end. Something is terribly wrong. read more

The waitress was quick to take our order and bring the appetizer out along with our drinks! The burger I ordered was the Jack-inferno. It came with sides of the bang bang sauce, and a Jack Daniel's sauce. The burger itself was super greasy but it was good. This is a good spot for a quick and tasty lunch! The restaurant was dark and our table light was not on but the vibe was good, and very clean too. read more

Cinders Charcoal Grill - Just gross - New American Near Me - Oshkosh, Wisconsin

We had a group of 6, ordered an appetizer, steaks, burgers and a wrap. Everything was very good and VERY quick. One in our party especially raved about his burger. Also they have Coke Zero, which is awesome! read more

I ordered a rare steak and got it well done you would think for a place that claims to be a charcoal grill they could figure out how to cook a steak. Also if you like butter you'll love this place salad butter. steak butter. steamed vegetables butter. burger butter. butter butter. read more

Went for lunch on a thursday around 1pm with maybe 2 other occupied tables. Sat down and and waited and waited and waited. Of the three employees we saw in our 15minutes of waiting, not one person said one word to us. We left and went to a great bbq joint I cannot rate the food as we never got so much as a hello read more

Well it isn't the old Mr. Cinders. Got a cheeseburger and a grilled chicken. The burger was okay. It reminds me of a large butter burger. I've never been a huge fan of those. The chicken sandwich though had a lot snd great flavor. The criss cut fries were really good too. Great seasoning. read more

The food was fine, but i took it to go home and eat. If a restaurant closes at 8pm then tell the customer who comes in at 7:40. And, at least don't be sweeping around your customers. read more

A real grill and the best Stake sandwich es .how about the best Hamburger b( you got it they got them).cheese curds you will die for..I will stop now..Just get over there and see for yourself.. read more

Been here a handful of times now and service/food has never been consistent. The first time I had the food from here it would have been 5 starts. The burger and fries were cooked perfectly. The service was awesome and the whole experience was a great restaurant experience. Every subsequent time no matter if I dined in or got food to go the food has been pretty average. The burgers are better than average usually and probably because of the charcoal grilling that adds some flavor but the fries and other deep fried appetizers and super greasy and unappetizing after they sit for more than 2 minutes. The service seems to tend towards the "ugh people I have to serve because they came in during my shift" wait staff and it comes across in their attitudes when you order or ask for something customized. All in all this isnt a bad place to get a meal. The food is USUALLY good and sometimes even great. If you like a charcoaled grilled burger you should definitely give this place a try at least once but avoid the deep fried appetizers. read more

Trying to support local business, but it is impossible to do when things are this bad. Thursday steak sandwich special, nothing special about anything but maybe the pickles on the plate, Can not screw those up. Ordered sandwich medium, COOKED to drink coaster well done, was ice cold, butter did not even have a chance to do anything but stay solid on the STALE Manderfield bun that crumbled when held. I do not understand the praise that bakery gets. not good. Server asked how everything was, I said it sucks, she laughs at me, and continues walking away. NOT one refill of soda, NO offering of more welldone in the fryer too long french fries that are suppose to be unlimited. NOTHING. Covid should of put this place out of it's misery. NEVER AGAIN will I be duped into that restaurant again. read more

Friendly staff, good prices, usually quite place typically, food comes quick typically,

Been coming to this place since I was in college. Lot nicer place now! Food has always been good however. I think its the best burger and steak sandwich in Oshkosh. read more

BRAT(brot)-BURGER --logical choice in Wisconsin. Brat, split open, tops 1/3lb. patty --meat not bad --but char-grilled & basted/ slathered with butter --nestles between butter-toasted semmel bun --(does Paula Dean work here?). Smoky good & dripping--more butter than grease. Call it--Clot Burger --but it's welcome after Google sends me to the middle of Nowhere --in the chill. SERVICE--friendly--again. CUSTOMERS--locals, of course --but also--surprise--UW students hearing about Burning Man in Nevada ARCHITECTURE--Highway bldg-with-parking-lot --like Pilora's next door. read more

Used to go here before the remodel and they had really good burgers. Went there with my fiance and kids the other night and it just wasn't a good experience. Ordered drinks, my water had something floating in it. No big deal, could happen to anyone. Ordered our food, I had BLT, he had a "Ribeye" sandwich, and our son had chicken tenders. Took well over a half hour to get our food. Server never stopped by to say anything or check drinks. Finally food comes and was quite mediocre. My BLT was ok, nice toasted bread. Bacon was not microwaved, which is good because some places actually do that. Bacon, however did not have a lot of flavor, they should get a different brand. Lettuce tasted pretty bad. Not the best or the worst one I've had. His "ribeye" sandwich was pretty much a chopped steak patty, not a slice of ribeye. It may not have even been ribeye, who knows. He said it was ok, but should have been advertised as chopped steak. On the way out, by the register, they have the specials posted. The most horrible place to post the specials, at the exit. I would have had the chicken special, if I knew about it. Overpriced for what you get and very slow service. We will not be back. read more

The food was good,but wasn't worth the $32 for 3 people price. All we had was burgers and fries. It was VERY cold in there The waitress was attentive,but then again,we were the only ones in there. :) read more

Best burgers in town (from my experience). 1/3 lbs burgers. Bottomless fries. I get the bacon cheeseburger (w/ cheddar cheese) and fries. The staff has always been super friendly. And I've never had anything to complain about here. read more

We were in town for the Special Olympics basketball tournament and decided to eat here for lunch. Service was extremely horrible. It was 30 minutes before the first of five of us received our food. The rest of us were served literally 10 minutes apart. It was far enough from campus that it wasn't packed. There was no reason for my daughter to be served over an hour after we were seated. The only reason they get one star is because they took the drinks off. Don't even get me started on the fact that no one wanted to wait on us in the first place. Hostess had to wait our table. read more

Real charcoal-grilled food adds great flavor to the meat. They serve a wide variety of burgers, as well as chicken and steak sandwiches. All sandwiches come with all-you-can-eat fries, although other options are available such as vegetables and chips. The sandwich baskets tend to range from $7 to $9. The menu also includes cuts of steak, salads, fish, and dessert. They also have a reasonable selection of beer to choose from. I have been a repeat customer for the past several months since I first tried this place. I have found the waitstaff to be polite and attentive. If you are visiting during the warmer months, I recommend that you do not get a seat at the front counter as the heat from the charcoal grill in the front of the restaurant tends to make it a bit warm during the meal. Overall, I have enjoyed each time I have eaten at Cinder's. I am quite sure you will not regret a visit yourself. read more

Went there because there really isn't any place that does ribs in town that doesn't have horrible reviews already. Got a full slab of baby back ribs, cheese curds, fries, and burgers. Burgers seemed to go over well, although they slather soooo much butter on the bottom of the bun I won't be surprised if I take someone to the ER with a blocked artery tonight. The fries, well, soggy to say the least, but they were eaten, and the cheese curds were very bland, no flavor at all. As for the ribs..... I can do better at home myself. They come out of the fridge in a package, put on a plate, covered with saran wrap, and microwaved!! What type of place calls themselves a "charcoal grill" joint and microwaves ribs???? Needless to say, they are hitting the trash after a couple bites. Sour bbq sauce, and tough meat, there is no way I would call these "famous" unless we are talking about famously BAD. All in all though, fairly friendly staff, quick service, seemed to be a decent atmosphere. Fairly pricey though... 50 bucks for three burgers and a rack of ribs is almost as bad as a family of five at texas roadhouse, all eating steak. read more

Tried it twice and I'm not impressed at all. Greasy food, and the steaks are fatty. Went in on one of the hottest days of the year hoping for a nice cool place to enjoy steak... No a/c!!! Sat there and sweat my rear off to have a below average meal. Watching the rest of the staff running around sweating all over everybody else's food certainly didn't help either. Pass on this place. read more

I have loved Cinders food for years; used to go the one near the freeway on 9th Avenue. I went to this Main Street location on Tuesday. I had the Tuesday special which was a T-bone dinner. I realized the steak would not be stellar for the price, but that was ok. However, the steak I ordered medium came well done and extremely dry. It had onion rings on the top and they were soggy and tasted like fish. I ordered the criss-cut fries which I have always loved, but they were gross, soggy and tasted like old grease. The salad was awful, all the white hard parts of iceberg lettuce, large pieces, not even cut up, and I wasn't given a knife to eat with. Thoroughly, thoroughly disappointed. CHANGE YOUR DIRTY GREASE. Disgusting! If I could give negative five stars, I would. The franchisor would be appalled. I will not return there, but will miss the food they used to serve. read more

Best Ribeye in Wisconsin! Try it and you'll agree. Service is fantastic and friendly. So the next time your in Oshkosh treat yourself to a real Wisconsin treat. read more

I love Cinder's. It delivers a nice charcoal grill taste for an affordable price. Our waitress was very good.

My family loves this place! We've been going here for years. They have the best cheeseburgers and perch (it's light and flaky breading really makes it). Definitely somewhere I'd suggest trying if you haven't! read more

Great tasty food, tasted like char-grilled meat and was not to badly priced either.
