After a long day of walking around and hiking in Zion, Oscar's Cafe in Springdale was exactly the kind of place I wanted for dinner! After seeing all of the amazing reviews on Yelp, I just had to stop by! I stopped by around 7 in the evening and sat outside, which ended up being such a good choice. The outdoor seating had a really fun, relaxed feel to it, and it was nice to just sit down, eat, and enjoy the Springdale atmosphere! We were at the Zion National Park all day. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak on sourdough with just the steak and cheese, and it was so yummy! The meat was juicy and tender. The sandwich itself was satisfying. The sourdough was a great addition too. I don't typically have sourdough bread with my philly cheesesteak. I also had the chips with guacamole and salsa, and those were so delicious! The guacamole and salsa tasted fresh and homemade! I ended up eating all of the guacamole with the chips! It was so yummy. The salsa was slightly spicy. I also tried a bite of the garlic cheeseburger, and the patty was juicy and flavorful. I only had a bite, but it was enough to know that would be a good choice too! Service was great, and everything about the meal felt easy and enjoyable. After a full day at Zion, this was such a fun dinner spot and definitely one of those places I'd recommend if you're staying in Springdale or visiting the park. Oscar's Café is a must visit in Springdale. Good food, good service, outdoor seating, and a really fun post hike vibe. I'd absolutely come back. read more

Pretty good place with large portions. The menu is a fusion of American and Mexican. Being from California, I have a refined pallet for Mexican and this is definitely not authentic but still very delicious and filling. The veggie options are a nice fusion of healthy-Mexican- American and worth trying. I loved the vinaigrette given in the side salads! A dill/lime mix. I would eat here again after a long hike. read more

We visited Oscar's Cafe for lunch after being promised some of the best food in Springdale. We were pretty surprised when we arrived at 11:25 AM and they were still serving breakfast! The waitress explained that their menu switches over to lunch at 11:30. That's certainly one of the latest I've ever seen! At any rate, we were happy to wait the extra 10-15 minute wait for the kitchen switchover. At this point the place wasn't too crowded at all all, and just as promised, we were able to place our order at 11:40. Garlic Burger ($18) - This is a huge plate of food with a mound of fries and one gigantic burger. The burger starts with a soft bun, lightly toasted on both sides, which is then piled up with onion and plenty of piquant pickles, making the burger extra tangy. There's a weak creamy mayo/mustard mixture that soaks the veggies, followed by a giant half pound burger patty on top. It's slightly pink in the center, but is somehow dry. It doesn't have much of a grilled/char flavor, nor much of a beefy flavor either. The patty is large but disappointing in flavor and execution. There's a pitiful spoonful of garlic on top of the patty. It such a small amount it's almost indistinguishable in flavor and texture - in fact, I didn't even know there was any garlic until I deconstructed the burger. That's a very poor showing for a burger with "garlic" in the name. On top of the garlic is a thick slice of melted cheese, more mayo/mustard, a small bed of shredded lettuce (complete with shreds falling out all over even before being brought to our table), and a couple of tomato slices. There's plenty of mayo/mustard sauce for the sandwich, enough to overcome how dry the meat is. The sandwich comes with a choice of regular or sweet potato fries, of which we went with the former. They are standard food service battered fries, not fried long enough to give any coloring to the exterior, making them extra pale and soft. We asked for a side of fry sauce which we found to be thin, watery, and drippy. (2/5) Pork Tamales ($22) - This dish comes with a side salad, which came immediately to the table. It's a pretty large portion for a side salad and includes plenty of romaine, full cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, charred corn, olives, and a pile of shredded carrot in an extremely tangy and slightly sweet dressing. The dressing is both way too acidic and way too watery for my tastes. It's so overdressed that a large puddle of dressing remained after finishing the salad. The tamales aren't very good either. They are doused in a green chile sauce that's only added after being blasted in whatever cooking appliance they use. The masa feels woefully under-steamed. It's quite coarse in texture and is hard, dry, and crumbly. It's so hard it's almost crunchy. The tamales seem to be pan fried on both sides, or perhaps broiled in a salamander for far too long. The green chile inside isn't even that flavorful, making the tamales a bland disappointment. There's a bed of shredded pork underneath the two tamales. The pork is not as far gone as the tamales. It's a little stringy and dry, but still retains at least a minimum amount of moisture. The pork has a pleasing pink/red tinge, but isn't smoky whatsoever. The overall profile doesn't display much in terms of spices, and the flavor of the pork itself isn't my favorite. I have a feeling that this is microwaved food service pork rather than being made in house. On top of everything is a chile verde sauce. It's again not that flavorful, with more acidity than anything else. There's absolutely zero heat - it's one of the most mild green chile sauces I've had. I feel like the dish could be improved a little if they simmered the pork in the green chile to help layer the flavors more. Unfortunately they are clearly cooked and assembled in a modular manner to save on ingredient cost. On the side is brown rice, actually cooked with green chile, and tender black beans that are appropriately salted. (2/5) Tip: If most people are sitting on the patio, I recommend not asking for an indoor seat. We were basically ignored by the waitress after we got our food since we were the only customers sitting inside. Also, get here earlier for fastest seating. By the time we left half past noon, the place was bustling with the entire patio being full of patrons. Oscar's Cafe serves huge portions with mediocre to bad quality. It's definitely a quantity over quality type of place and seems to be catered towards people who are scared of flavor and spices. I certainly would not return. Bathrooms - Single unisex room in the restaurant itself, but there are more in the mercantile area. read more

I totally get the hype! This place had a bunch of great reviews so we figured we'd try this place out. The venue itself is quaint. One of those venues that's a blend of indoor/outdoor if that makes sense. Portions were very generous. And the food wasn't too bad I have no complaints. Except for maybe service. It wasn't horrible but it was blazé. The table wasn't wiped down/was dirty, had to ask for utensils, having to re-ask for things. Would that deter me from coming again, no not necessarily but service could have been better. They're trying their best lol. read more

Very popular restaurant in Springdale, right by Zion National Park. We had to wait about 20 minutes for dinner, which was not too bad. My friend and I split a full rack of the "killer ribs" - it's definitely a good portion for 2 average sized people to share, and for $37, that makes it a pretty good value. The ribs were fine, but I have to say, I've definitely had better - I felt these ribs could've been a bit more tender / fall-off-the-bone. Also, while it looks like a lot of sauce on top, I thought it could've used more, as there isn't much beyond that top layer of the ribs. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The service speed is decent. There is a lively atmosphere thanks to the popularity of the restaurant. Overall, I think there is good reason for Oscar's Cafe to be as popular as it is, especially given the limited options near Zion, so as long as the wait isn't too long, it is worth stopping by. read more

Greeted with a smile, left with a wave. Oscar's Cafe is the perfect spot to grab a bite after a long hike in Zion. Luckily, we beat the rush and were seated right away. The service was a little slow, but the place was packed right after we sat down and our waitress was running around. However, the food was good, the beer glasses were huge, and the vibes were fun. While they don't ask how you want your burger cooked, they still came out tasty. They could've been a little juicier, but otherwise, Oscar's Cafe is a prime spot to visit while at Zion. read more

We stopped on a locals recommendation. It was an easy walk from the hotel. We were seated and waited on quickly. The server suggested the ribs and I must say they were tasty. I ordered the 1/2 rack. The sweet potato fries were also good. It was a ton of food! Salad was good except the black olives. Easy enough to pick off. The patio area was nice with heaters and not too loud. It was good and would suggest. Just be mindful the serving sizes are plentiful. Enjoy! read more

Our waitress was so kind, helpful and she hustled; the patio was very nice pretty Mountain View's out the back. They turn out food very quickly and have a fairly large menu. We started with guacamole/salsa, had the fish tacos and blue chip burger. Burger patty fell a little flat, but the bun was good. The shrimp tacos were good. Overall the food could have been more flavorful, and it's a lot of hustle and bustle. read more

We ate here twice while visiting Zion National Park. The food was amazing. I had the green chilies pork enchiladas for dinner and for lunch the next day, the whoopass burger. Very flavorful burger and the fries were to die for. The servers are excellent and friendly and the food was served up efficiently. You can sit inside or out, inside is a bit echoing but outside is very nice. read more

The staff friendly and the food was very good and the portions were enormous. The tamales were excellent.

You will get a delicious meal and get serenaded. We had breakfast here as a group before heading to Zion. This was the BEST breakfast burrito I've ever had. I couldn't finish it all because it was so massive. But it was very delicious & well seasoned. The service was great & fast. Make sure you stop by. You won't be disappointed. read more

This place is the best! Big portions, delicious, well-seasoned food! Everything just hits here! I'm The salsa is fresh and so good. My boyfriend ordered the green chili horseshoe, and it was huge- two corn tortillas layered with beans, verde sauce, cheese, and eggs any style, baked and then topped with homemade guacamole and sour cream. Everything tasted homemade and excellent. I kept it simple with the breakfast plate- eggs, potatoes, & sausage patties, and it was perfect. Fluffy eggs, crispy potatoes... exactly what you want before a long day of hiking. Our server was also great- super friendly, quick, and really on top of everything. We'll definitely come back here every time we're in Springdale. read more

Service was quick and staff very friendly. Casual ambience that was comfortable and fun! Came on a chilly morning and they had heaters above the tables that made it very nice with the outdoor seating. Hot caramel lattes to start...delicious. Ordered the cakes combo and french toast combo. They were good but nothing special. Came a second time and ordered the Green Chili Horseshoe. That was a huge serving and delicious. The Rocky Mountain omelet was typical. Pro tip, if you stay at Driftwood Lodge or Flannigans, you can buy breakfast vouchers for $8 per person and order any entrée and drink. Great deal! read more

We went to Oscar's for breakfast, went there first thing before a day of hiking. The ambiance is kitschy with a Southwestern focus on the food. We ordered the green chile horseshoe (eggs, guacamole, green chile, pulled pork over potatoes) and the rise and shine (eggs, meat of choice, potatoes and bread). Both were great!! Service was fast and friendly!! read more

Large portions, had a little bit of everything so everyone in our party left full and satisfied. Great spot to check out while visiting Zion! read more

We had a pretty good dinner here! After long and tiring day at the park, we were looking for a hefty and satisfying meal. We definitely found it here. My husband and I started with the chips salsa guac appetizer, since we were extra hungry. We also each got a burger with fries. These burgers are hefty! We are each very big eaters and we struggled to finish. The food itself wasn't life changing, but we definitely left satisfied. The locale is hard to miss, with its bright decor inside and outside and its bustling atmosphere that can be seen from the street. The staff was friendly and helpful. This place is a solid option in the area with large portions. Check them out! read more

Stopped in for breakfast before hitting the road for the day, we got seated right away and the staff were very friendly!

This was a great last-minute find in Zion! There aren't a ton of dining options in the area, so we were really happy to come across this spot. The wait was definitely on the longer side, but there's a cute little trinket shop next door that helped pass the time. Once we were seated, the experience really picked up. Our server seemed a bit tired (understandable given how busy it was), but was incredibly kind and attentive. They even brought out crayons and a coloring page for the kids, which was a nice touch. For food, we ordered the chicken enchiladas, an Oscar burger, and shared the mucho nachos along with a sangria. The portions were huge, so definitely come hungry! Everything was satisfying and hit the spot after a long day. The kids kept it simple with mac and cheese and were perfectly happy. The space itself is small and a bit tight, but it adds to the lively, fun vibe of the place. Overall, despite the wait and cozy quarters, the friendly service and generous portions made it a memorable stop. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Zion! read more

I ordered the Pastrami and Sauerkraut sandwich, it turned out to be amazing and delicious. I finished it in about 3 minutes.

A special thank you to our server, Maria, who was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Her excellent service made our dining experience even more enjoyable. The absolute star of the meal was the warm brownie with ice cream--it was hands down one of the best desserts we've ever had! Rich, fudgy, perfectly warm, and paired with creamy ice cream, it was the perfect treat after a day of hiking in Zion. If you're visiting Springdale, don't miss Oscar's Café. Great food, outstanding service from Maria, generous portions, and an unforgettable brownie and ice cream make it a must-visit. We'll definitely be back! read more

So good we went twice! On our first night in Springdale we didn't know where to go, but we saw the reviews about Oscar's and it was a short walk from our hotel so we decided to give it a try. Everyone in Springdale seems to be on the same schedule: hike all day, check out an epic sunset, then go eat. So naturally, there was a big line but the wait was short and we got seated within about 10 minutes. My wife had the fish tacos and I ordered the chicken enchiladas. She said the tacos were really good but too much for her to finish. The enchiladas were great as well. We both commented that the generous portions would've been perfect if we'd been hiking all day. Unfortunately, most of our day was spent flying from Mpls to Vegas and then driving to Springdale. It was a long day and we were tired and hungry. Luckily, the food came quick and we enjoyed a local on the patio before walking back to our room. The next day we hiked Angels Landing and the Overlook Trail. Lunch consisted of a handful of trail mix and a bagel. By dinner time we were ready to eat! But too tired to go far. So we returned to Oscar's knowing we'd get a decent meal and quick service. My wife had the fish tacos again. She liked them that much. I had the burrito. OMG. It was huge but so good. After hiking all day and basically skipping lunch, I had no trouble eating the whole thing. It went fast. The next day we were chatting with some locals and getting advice on where to go eat. Oscar's was highly recommended. And we all agreed, if you're in Springdale go to Oscars! read more

Came to Oscar's Cafe before heading to Zion National Park on a Sunday morning. Its a charming little restaurant with a ton of things to do in the area, and beautiful views. Cody was our server and he was incredibly pleasant. We ordered 2 diet drinks, a grant sandwich and a pork verde breakfast burrito. Once we saw the portion sizes after the food got to the table we regretted our decision, but in a good way! Lol. The burrito was fantastic. Really packed with pork and smothered in sauce and sour cream. Definitely perfect fuel for a long hike ahead. The grant sandwich was incredible! Delicious bread, fluffy eggs and lots of sausage. Overall, the meal was only $40, which for the size and quality almost felt like a steal! Really loved this meal and sad I dont live in the area. Was a great way to start the day. read more

Got lunch here after hiking Zion. They have a consistent water mist that sprays in the outer space, which definitely helps keep the space at a comfortable temperature. I could not imagine wanting to sit outside in 100+ degree weather if that didn't have that going. They have a parking lot behind the restaurant. I order their Grilled Fish Tacos ($21) which was one of the recommended items by the server. Props to her for recommending it. It comes with three tacos and there's a side salad and rice & beans, so it will surely be a filling meal. My significant other ordered the Portobello Avocado Salad ($20), which was also delicious and refreshing. read more
