Oscar's is like Grandma's kitchen. Always such delicious food and the service here never fails. I come here every time I am in town visiting. I highly recommend their hash browns with green chili and cheese. It's so good you will not want to stop eating it. As far as their French toast is concerned, you eat it once, you will become very addicted. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. I really like that they keep my coffee cup filled, they are extremely attentive and you can really tell people love this place. Everyone is smiling and cleaning off their plates. read more

Great food and service! Also a cute diner with a fun atmosphere and decor. Highly recommended when you're in Durango, CO!

Tucked into a shopping mall, made it easy to park car with trailer. Food was very very good. Shared a fabulous cinnamon roll and each had one if the specials. read more

Have spent the last week here in Durango. We were given really good recommendations by our hotel and the Visitor Information Centre for breakfast, lunch and dinner - on morning 3, we discovered Oscar's and have only done breakfast here since. Four mornings of magnificent tasting, generously portioned breakfasts, and extraordinary service from all the staff; not only are they friendly, but they actually listen to your order, and make sure you get what you ask for; and very inexpensive. Being from 'downunder' we like our toast brown and eggs poached just past medium toward firm and not near raw and running all over the plate. This is the first we've enjoyed this true 'service excellence' from all staff at one restaurant. Long may Oscar's prosper. read more

Ate here twice in 24 hrs. Omelets were delicious, our son loved the kiddie cake! Service was phenomenal. Highly recommend!!!

One of those places that's been around forever and can get away with crappy service and overpriced simple breakfast food. My breakfast with $12 with coffee and didn't include steak. Portions were small. Oh cool, a train. read more

What a gem! The breakfast was the best our family has had in years! The French toast, omelette, bacon and even the house made hot sauce were all stellar. The staff filled up our coffee at least 4 times and made us feel like we were the most important people there. Excellent, quick service and very enjoyable breakfast in Durango! Highly recommend! read more

This was the first visit we've made to Oscars. We will be back, it was delicious. I had an omelette smothered with Chili Verde and it was excellent. The friendly staff is exceptional. Oscar's has now become our favorite place for breakfast or lunch. read more

First time in Durango. Excellent staff hustling to get you seated and food order. Food and coffee hot and delicious

Okay.. So, this place is not only charming with a train track and functioning choo-choo train all around the border of the ceiling but absolutely delicious! The service was also wonderful with my coffee mug constantly filled as needed, which was highly appreciated. I had the breakfast burrito which was, hands down, the best burrito I have ever eaten, and I have breakfast burritos every because they are my favorite! The French toast is amazing also with thus sweet crispy crust that I've never seen in French toast and took it over the top. The banana pancake was huge, super fluffy, and tastes wonderful. Really.. Everything was SUPERB! read more

Had breakfast there traveling a scenic route to go home. Good service and the French toast was the best I've eaten.

Delicious french toast, i lived the hot chocolate also! This place is pretty cool, with a rustic toy train going over head, so many nest things to look at. read more

Visiting Durango for a soccer tournament and we came here for breakfast Saturday morning. It was bustling with the morning crowd and as we entered, we were serenaded with clinking of forks and the frying of the stovetop. We were entranced by the smell of good food and strong coffee. This little diner has a lot of heart, and the food was very tasty. I had an order of French toast which came out in no time and was delicious. The staff were very kind and catered to our needs while my family and I were there. read more

Passed through durango on a road trip to Denver.... Line out the door but definitely worth the wait! Amazing hash browns and MexBrex!! ROAD TRIP PRO TIP: Oscars is within walking distance of the Animas River-- you can rent kayaks, rafts, bikes etc. There's also a walking trail around the river! Gorgeous views read more

We found this through Yelp. Omg! What a great place. Service was quick and efficient. Food was ample and well priced. We will be back! read more

Oscar's Cafe - Old phone on wall. Cute place! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durango, Colorado

The food was pretty good. I had the Denver omelet and my husband had a ham, bacon, and cheese omelet along with French toast. It was very pricey for breakfast. I may not return just because it was so pricey. $40 for breakfast is crazy! read more

This place was adorable and have a very friendly staff. I had the French Toast, and it was the most amazing I've ever tasted. Come to find out, it is fried and has a bit of a funnel cake taste....PHENOMENAL. My bf had the Verde Scramble and had to take half home and is excited to eat it later. We will definitely be back! P.S. - the train along the top of the cafe is amazing read more

Amazing food!!!! I loved the toy train that wrapped around the room. Waitresses were all friendly , very small building, smaller than I thought but I didn't mind it was so good. I had the chicken fried steak AMAZING read more

Amazing green chili. Loved the hash brown pancake if you sit outside it's a beautiful view otherwise tiny and cramped inside but well worth for breakfast. Has great coffee what more could you want read more

Great little spot. Service is excellent. Omelet was fantastic.. Apple pie amazing.

We loved the tasty breakfast, staff is really nice, great prices and I love love love the decor :) This has become a favorite when we come to town and we actually skip the hotel breakfast to come here! read more

The place that the locals all seem to go in a strip mall right on the main drag through town. You will need a car to get here is you are staying near the train station, but it is well worth the drive. Great food at a great price. read more

There are a lot of dining options in Durango, but this place is a true local hideout. This is some of the best breakfast food you will ever put inside your glorious mouth. Still my fathers favorite spot, Oscars has everything from high carb, potato lovin', green chile smotherin', gravy covered goodness to satisfy even the hungriest of lumberjacks! In high school I used to come here every Friday with my grandpa before he passed away, it was also his favorite spot. It's a small place so give yourself some time to wait for a table or bar stool and you'll be happy you did. P.S. Cover everything in their gravy, it's incredible! read more

Service, food, portions, and price for it all was excellent! I highly recommend breakfast and a piece of pie!

Great food! Fun place for breakfast or lunch! enjoy! read more

Oscar's Cafe - Lots of good fresh food! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Durango, Colorado

To find Oscars...enter into the large parking lot with the Ace Hardware. A few initial facts. The diner is small and there is no waiting area. The food is great and is probably worth waiting for if you are in no rush. Like I said, the dining area consists of a large counter area and several small tables. I would not recommend this place on a Sunday morning if you have a party of 8..you may be waiting for a while. The food was great breakfast food and the prices were decent. read more

Apparently there is a second check in so remember that if you go. Not only do you check in once if they take forever you have to check in again THEY do not warn you or make you aware of. Any second check ins you have to do! Super annoyed! read more

Great food. HUGE portions. Excellent pie. The place has a ton of character. Had lunch. Hope to get back for breakfast before we leave town.

Oscar's is the best place in town for Great breakfast. Everything from Eggs and Bacon to Giant plate sized pancakes!! Also the biscuits and gravy are primo!! And.... if you like hash, Jeanne tells me its killer. Many times you will have to stand and wait for a seat. Yeah, it's that good!! read more

It's a nice diner, with some caveats. I go every so often when I want to mix-up my breakfast dining experience in Durango. One of my measuring sticks I use is biscuits and gravy: this place has OK/standard B-n-G, but nothing amazing. Another way of measuring a joint is their coffee: this place has average coffee, sans flavor except for the dioxin bleached filter the coffee is brewed through. My recent visit with a friend was on a day the diner was not at capacity and an ample amount of waitresses on staff. Our waitress was slow and forgetful, delivering my food before my friends with a gap of about 5 minutes in between serving plates of food. Did not fulfill my friends order until I was finished with my meal, delivering her english muffin with our bill. In hindsight I overtipped her. Food is pretty average to above average. Corn beef hash is out of a tin. I know some people like that taste of container, but I will pass for something with more integrity. It is a bottleneck of a diner, so it is a turn and burn atmosphere. Grousing aside it is a decent place. It out-ranks Durango Diner by a longshot, but you will get better, fresher, and more tasty eats elsewhere (College Drive Cafe). read more

This is not a place for a party larger than 10. It was a chore to be seated. We were told 45 minutes with our initial sign in. Monitoring our number in line via Yelp, we were told we were first in line. Our party approached the restaurant and we were told an hour and half wait. Our party was split up and the last our party was finally seated. Questioning why the last of our party was not seated, cheeta (hostess with dark hair) was was very rude, raising her voice and actually brought down her mask to be heard. This rude gesture was not at all very good customer service. Very frustrating to be seated. read more

Great classic breakfast/diner fare. Big portions, great pancake and breakfast burrito. 4 stars instead of 5 since service was a little slow, but would recommend it for a big breakfast before heading out for the day. read more

Wow! Eggs Benedict Special! I thought I would only be able to eat half. I should have as it was so big, but I cleaned the plate. Be prepared to have to wait as it so popular. read more

This is of the best greasy spoons I've found. Even by standards of a larger city (we visited from Chicago), this would still be a standout. The breakfast burrito was stellar - killer eggs, sausage, and chile sauce combo. Add to it a friendly wait staff, huge portions, and great price point - you've got a fantastic breakfast joint. One caveat - as the biggest breakfast show in this one (or two) horse town, it's often busy and quite small. Arrive early or expect a wait of 45+ minutes. read more

Kitchy retro diner tucked away in a strip mall with a nondescript facade... convivial atmosphere with plenty of friendly banter among the wait staff and line cooks. The menu is broad - something for everyone - the portions generous. My Denver egg white omelette was a tad under-cooked as were the french fries. However my friend lover her Denver and the chile verde soup. Overall, I recommend popping in for the atmosphere and friendly service - just keep in mind this is't a Gordon Ramsey restaurant. read more
