Yelp led us to try Oscar's this morning, and I'm baffled by the glowing reviews. The food was the definition of "just okay". My husband ordered the Black Forest ham and brie sandwich, which was made with plain deli ham, and a side of baked beans, which was grossly overpriced. I had the English breakfast - the bacon and bread were good, but everything else needed a ton of salt, and the egg whites were not set. My iced coffee and my husband's Americano were both bitter. The exterior seating area is pretty cute, but inside is devoid of charm and the tables are incredibly close together. Our server was nice, and the menu is broad, but I could not recommend this place based on all of the other factors mentioned. read more

Came with friends for lunch and ordered a chicken avocado sandwich, which I liked a lot. Everyone else opted for croque monsieurs, which came with fries that I snagged (nicely crisp). I'd definitely come back to try other things on the menu! They have nice outdoor seating but keep in mind if you're a large party that seating is not very plentiful indoors. read more

All the food is good here, but the grilled calamari is wonderful. Their Belgian Waffles are super, too. It's a small space, but has a charming outdoor seating area. Good variety on the menu. read more

Such friendly staff, good vibes, amazing food, and reasonably priced (with really generous portions). I don't really know what else you could ask for read more

I would have LOVED to give Oscar's 5 stars but I can't. It was a slow Thursday late lunch. We were one of 3 tables there. We had a good meal. Some nice conversation with the owner. Paid our bill and left..... Our bill was $137 with the tip. ($114 + $22 & change tip) On Sunday we get a courtesy call from our credit card company asking if we meant to leave a $137 tip on a $137 bill. Wait - what? Of course not! - obviously an error on the part of Oscar's right? So with the credit card company we call Oscar's. Explain the situation to the owner - and he asks for proof. He wants a copy of our receipt. (which we no longer have) Wait - what? I've been a bartender, restaurant manager & waitress - If I were a server and I received $159 tip on a $114 bill, not only would I be grinning from ear to ear and doing a happy dance all over , but the entire restaurant would know about it INCLUDING my boss who would have recognized the hefty payout at the end of the shift. He doesn't remember it? He basically tells us to go F ourselves and do a chargeback - tying up our $274 for the next few weeks. Obviously someone needs that extra $137 in their account for a few weeks. Really not very cool. read more

Walked in on a lark to find this unassuming, charming little restaurant that sounds like a tea place but looks like your local diner inside. I couldn't nail down one particular identity for this joint, but no matter. GF and I ordered the beef stew and Myers Mini Steak & Kidney Pie, respectively. Both were tasty and filling, and I endorse them with zero reservations. It was quite perfect for a quiet dinner on a Sunday night. read more

NOT YOUR TYPICAL BRUNCH/DINER. THIS BELGIUM GEM JUST RAISED THE BAR, LIKE REALLY HIGH I cannot express how much Joy this place gave me. If Jennifer Lawrence came here, it may have been a better movie... This place gives you jam-packed flavor inside simple items. We came around 2pm. One of my friends wanted french toast but they only had their lunch menu. The kind man offered to extend his breakfast menu and made sure we got French toast. He was extremely friendly the entire time and made us feel at ease, it was a pure delight and he really added to our great experience there COFFEE - The La Colombe Coffee is absolutely heavenly, strong & smoothly balanced but rich & deep. It was amazing AND.. it's FREE w/ yelp check-in ARUNDEL Omelette - Mushroom spinach bacon omelette, let me say, it was up there in the best omelettes I ever had. Besides the fresh vegetables, the eggs were so fluffy and light, the cooks carefully cooked it not to char or burn on any sides. Again, so Simple but meticulously executed, it was delicious PURIST WAFFLES - Waffles w/ Maple Syrup. My friend gave me a piece and I thought I ate a cloud. I had no idea a waffle could be so pillowy and delicate. BERRY FRENCH TOAST - This is where I would give 6 stars if I could. Look at the picture. Then imagining it taste 100x better. Then, realize, that it tastes MUCH better in person. IT'S ALL ABOUT THAT BRIOCHE, BOUT THAT BRIOCHE, BOUT THAT DELICIOUS THICK BRIOCHE SOAKED IN MILK EGG HONEY CINNAMON WITH A MEDLEY OF BERRIES AND STRAWBERRY SAUCE Recommended: I can't imagine anything bad here read more

45 minutes? For a salad? To be picked up? At lunch? The Kale Aux Lardon Salad (Lunch) $12.25 (Poached egg, bacon and red wine vinegar) was ruined by an over-poached egg, uncertainty over the meat (lardons != bacon exactly, but OK), the lack of a mention of onions, and going WAY too heavy on the red wine vinegar. Three slices of Amy's Bread (one white-ish, one brown-ish) turned out to be most of the weight of the heavy-for-a-salad bag they handed me. Skipped the Yelp checkin special for a PG Tips Tea or La Colombe coffee. Skipped the $18 bangers & Mash and the $19 fish & chips because it's THAT part of the West Village (i.e., not Greenwich Ave where it's better & cheaper). read more

English Breakfast to me is very personal. Having half of my family being from the great country of England, I come to really critique any English (or Irish) Breakfast. This place has got it right! I went for breakfast around 9:30am because I don't do brunch. I'm not sorry for that because I do like 3 square meals a day. Go to Oscar's for breakfast! For $17 it is a bargain and it's totally delicious. Ask for the Irish bacon instead of regular American bacon! Everything was cooked perfectly and service was great. The atmosphere is a lot of fun and is definitely a nice hole in the wall! Sit outside on a nice sunny day and gossip while drinking a nice real cup of tea or coffee. I'll be coming back for the fish and chips. I cannot wait! read more

Oscar's Place - English Breakfast, worth every calorie. - Modern European Near Me - New York, New York

My favorite spot! I live right near by and this is the most charming yummy spot in the west village! The brunch is fantastic and everyone who works there is so kind and make you feel at home! Very good with making you feel safe in covid! Take out is delish also! read more

Came here on last Saturday after walking past the week before an eyeing up some ones full English . The place is small , actually make that tiny , but if you sit outside its a good place to people watch . Now to the food , all 4 of us ordered the full English so I cant tell you how the other food is . The sausages are good , not great and you can get far better in the city, the bacon was lame if you are going to do a full English its all about the bacon . It should be thick back bacon not skinny streaky American stuff . Toast on the side was pretty good . All in all its not bad but not the best. As for he service , well if you don't mind chasing the staff inside for condiments , HP sauce and butter and having the waffles forgotten then its ok . Wanted to love it unfortunately just an ok ! Not suitable for groups of more than 2 - 4 max read more

Love this little English breakfast spot on a cute, quiet corner of the West Village. Snag a table outside (the wait isn't usually too bad) in warmer weather - they're happy to let you bring a pup with you at these tables, too. I love the baked Eggs Cocotte with a La Colombe coffee, or the French onion soup if they have it on special. Great place for a quick, delicious, sit-down breakfast or lunch :) read more

Stopped in for a iced mochachino and it was so delicious!!! Sat outside and enjoyed the day. The waiter was so hardworking, he covered the entire floor! read more

It's not everywhere in the city that you can get good English food from a real Englishman! They are super super friendly! The owner Neil is there all the time & remembered me on only my second time there! Everything I've had or seen on the menu is good. Lovely quiet atmosphere so you get great service. They have a pile of kids books if you need to keep little ones occupied. I ate the chicken pie- like a fancier inside out version of a pot pie. Even my grandmother who is an avid health nut said their French fries were delicious. Served great fresh bread while we ordered. Totally happy, will definitely go back. read more

Oscar's Place - Chicken pie with a side of "chips" as this British place calls them (aka fries to us Americans) :) - Modern European Near Me - New York, New York

Can't say enough good things about this place. I used to work in the neighborhood, so I've been coming here for years and have never been let down by it. Even after moving to Brooklyn, I still come into Manhattan just for Oscar's. I've had nearly everything on the breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus, and nothing has ever disappointed; the highlights for me are the English breakfast, the beef stew, bangers and mash, and of course the fish and chips (my favorite that I've had in the city). The service is excellent, and the owner Neil is always fun to have a chat with. If you want to splurge on a lavish meal, there are plenty of great places in the West Village to do that, but this is hands-down the best no-frills neighborhood spot that you'll want to come back to again and again. read more

We were walking down Hudson and saw this cool little spot with UK flags in the window and thought it looked like a good spot for lunch. Man we're we ever happy we stopped here. The food was fantastic, and the service was too. Everything homemade, and the owner Neil is a super nice guy. This place is a West Village diamond. We'll be back for sure ! read more

Ok waffle it was crispy but not that hot. I go inside after eating outside and see the waffles were all pre made and not fresh!!!! How absurd! Fruit salad and soft drinks a bit over priced. Service was pretty quit. I wouldn't come read more

"Stoke me a kipper, I'll be home for breakfast; Smeg!" This is a perfect low-key place for brunch (maybe dinner, idk), and where you should take your gf/bf in the morning. It doesn't rage with a DJ and unlikely you will run into anyone you know, so you can quietly and discreetly enjoy your brekkie. At the former home of Petite Albeile, they lost their 1/2 Belgian origins and went 100% Brit. I've been here twice and had to Classic English Breakfast and the Big Ben...both were stellar and well prepared. I also sampled the chips and veggie Croque. Just not a place to be missed. What's lovely: * Food is awesome. * Service is attentive and personable. * Prices are low for the West Village * Good sized outdoor seating area * Well situated in a sea of decidedly ubiquitous brunch spots What's pants: 1) Decor won't be featured in the New Yorker 2) This isn't the boozy brunch place you were hoping to find 3) Not good for a gaggle of giggly girls our for brunch (actually this is a plus+++++) read more

Loving this eatery Great spot for breakfast or brunch with a cute patio to watch all the babies and dogs go by! Note the inside is a little close but seems like a lot of people just get takeout? Anyway the breakfast sandwiches are solid, coffee is strong, and the orange juice is made fresh AMAZING! read more

Everything was delicious! We had the French onion soup and mushrooms on toast to start. Then we had fish and chips and the chicken stew. Huge portions and everything was made fresh to order. read more

I went to Oscar's Place because I really wanted to have English Breakfast within New York. I have to say, the english breakfast is good, although I couldn't rationalize the price to food/effort. I'd recommend to try once, but I don't think I'll keep coming back. read more

Went here with a friend to grab an early dinner on a Saturday. We were one of two tables in the place, so we were seated right away. After perusing the menu, we decided to split the fish and chips and a burger. The burger was very standard--not a lot of seasoning for the meat and pretty average--the fries were good though. The fish and chips were better, though it still didn't hit the high marks I was expecting based on the reviews. Also, the tartar sauce lacked a little flavor. Overall, this is a cozy spot that serves up homey food. The service was friendly and attentive, but it did take a while for the food to come out even though we were the only ones ordering food. read more

I rarely write reviews after only one experience but everything about this place was great. I got there after noon so I was too late for breakfast but the owner was very agreeable and offered to prepare a "Traditional English Breakfast" for me. I had never had exactly that so I said o.k.. Seated outside I enjoyed a very good cup of coffee and toasted bread with butter while waiting. I was served two perfectly fried over medium eggs topped with bacon, a side of sausage, baked beans that were done perfectly, not too sweet, sauteed mushrooms and two thick slices of grilled tomatoes. Every aspect of the breakfast seemed to compliment the others. Excellent! read more

Awesome hidden gem for fish and chips! Mussels were excellent as well. Nothing fancy, just delicious, fresh, well prepared fish.

When to stop by this place? Hmm. Do you want to eat mediocre (at best) food? Would you like to sit in uber cramped seats with your elbows knocking your neighbor's back each time you use your knife and fork? Do you want to feel your server's behind brush your other arm each time he carries kitchen waste past your table? You just hit a jackpot - dine here then. Case in point- read the management's response. read more

Amazing little spot in the West Village. The spicy tuna croque melt is insanely good, and a massive portion

This place is awesome! I was randomly searching for a restaurant in city that serves British breakfast and this place was top search! I have to say it was worth the trip from Long Island! I really enjoyed the baked beans and sausages. Our waiter, I forgot his name was very sweet with his service! The place is small and quaint right in the village. I would definitely come back to this place to try other foods of course! And I had their yummy British P&G tea. read more

I just got back from NYC and found Oscar's Place on Hudson. I had a great meal and a heavenly ale. I ordered the Croque Madame. It had blackforest ham guere cheese and a Sunnyside up egg served on toast. The salad had the perfect chef made dressing, and the fries were crisp. The ale was Bellhaven Scotish ale that was cold and bold without being bitter. My friend ordered a burger that she said was truly great. I will definitely be back read more

Great little place I passed on the way to meet a friend, we walked back the couple blocks to grab breakfast. Super cute outside patio area to eat on a nice day, the inside was a bit cramped but the service was awesome and the food was great! My friend got the banana split waffle and I ordered the bacon egg wich (mushroom, spinach bacon and cheddar omelet on ciabatta) the bacon was so good and the sandwich was probably the most filling "breakfast sandwich" I had in a while! My friend enjoyed the waffle as well. I think the bill came to around $25 for both of us. read more

I'm a bit ambivalent to write a review for Orcar's Place because they only have 20 seatings and I would like to keep this gem to myself! I have been here for five times before I decided to share this with you, yelpers! I can't really remember what I had in the past, but among the best are their dreamy mac n cheese, some bread topped with mushroom, lobster omelet, and BANANA BREAD PUDDING. I can't even explain how great their banana bread pudding. It gives me hard time from time to time to either have their bread topped with mushroom or the banana bread pudding. Service has always been great! Fast and attentive. read more

I love how this place has early hours .. Oscar's Place is always open early and seems to be open all day . I never had the chance to have dinner here. But I had breakfast a few times.. I'm happy to say I'm a regular at Oscar's. I like their Benedict eggs and also their sandwiches. Plus the coffee is so good early in the morning. I like the owner he is a very nice person. The services is 100 very good customer services I always have my food ready in less than 10 mins ... Check them out, you'll thank me later read more

This is a pretty good spot. Great fresh ingredients. Recommend the basics. Amy's bread and fried tomatoes were strong. Waiter had a fun personality. Nothing mind blowing, but nothing disappointing. read more

My friend and local New Yorker brought me here for weekend brunch, and it did not disappoint! It is a quaint English style diner tucked away in the quaint, quiet streets of Greenwich Village and is truly a gem. We both ordered the Croque Madame and it was to die for; fresh Gruyere cheese melted to perfection on a slick piece of toast, flavorful ham with a perfectly cooked sunny-side up egg sitting atop. Not to mention the fries were amazing, and I am pretty hard to please. The ambiance is homey and fun, and I would definitely go again. read more

great food, goid drinks, friendly service. Loved the traditional english breakfast and the mussels with the bread

This is EXACTLY what is missing in the collapse of the West Village. This is a delicious neighborhood restaurant. Breakfast, lunch & dinner. Literally everything is delicious. Insanely good mussels, beef stew, salads, omelettes, Mac & cheese, French onion soup, English breakfast with REAL Cumberland sausages, HP Sauce etc. The owner, Neil, a Brit expat, is a delight, as are Trinidad & the chef ( who's name I forget ) working dinner are lovely. We'd be lost in this corporate and overly fussy neighborhood without Oscars. Support your individually owned businesses. So important. We love this place and have gone here for years. We'd have to move if they closed. read more
