The hamburgers are huge, delicious, cooked to perfection and come in many varieties. The Service is friendly, the prices can't be beat. This is an out-of-the-way, typical Milwaukee bar with several tables and can get noisy inside. The deck is great in nice weather, but it's not open this summer. read more

Never a disappointment . Have tried so many menu items, all great. Relaxed atmosphere Will have to go for the new smash burger soon read more

Oscar's Pub & Grill - Gringo burger in front, back is a Hongo burger with swiss and mushrooms - New American Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

If there is one thing I can say it's Oscar's best burger in MKE! Oscar's is an amazing place on the south side with a fun vibe! They have some of the best staff as they will treat you like family and ensure you have a good experience. This is a place to meetup with friends or watch a game and enjoy either a burger or their wings. We have been frequent flyers over the years and have just enjoyed the consistency that you get knowing you will always get good food and a great time! read more

Oscar's Pub & Grill - The Big O - New American Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Oscar's might actually be the best food value in all of Milwaukee. The burgers/chicken tenders/fries we ordered were extremely tasty and everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy them. Service was fast and friendly. The restaurant itself isn't much to write home about, but it got the job done. Would absolutely come back again for their delicious burgers! read more

Processed frozen "fish" filets. There used to be a fast food chain called "Long John Silver's". Never went there, but I'm guessing that it was like this. Cheers. read more

Oscar's Pub & Grill - The Big Gringo & Jimmys Nuggets - New American Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

One of my favorite places for burgers. It's the great alternative to the competition. I can alway trust the meat was ground and formed fresh and made to order. Service was excellent, food came hot, quickly as ordered. And plenty of choices for the most pickiest of customers. Glad to see the quality is still great. The room was comfortable, plenty of tvs. There are 3 areas to sit at. Tables are quickly bussed even when busy. Sadly the patio was closed today. Summer is over make the best of fall y'all. 26/2025 read more

Oscar's Pub & Grill - Milwaukee The burger was juicy, cheesy, and stacked just right on that soft bun = perfection. Fries were crispy, seasoned with parm, and hit different with the dipping sauce. Bonus: loaded nachos on the table = cheesy, filling, and shareable. 4.6/5 - Oscar's is a true MKE staple for burgers & pub vibes, always satisfying and worth the hype.

Great burgers! Great nachos. Fun location near the baseball stadium! Highly recommended!

My 13 year-old loves cheese curds and while we were in Milwaukee, we found Oscar's after a quick search on Yelp for cheese curds. It was awkward walking in because there was no hostess, no stand, or no sign that said seat yourself. I took the latter which didn't bother me but introverts in your group like my wife might have a hard time with that. I lead my group to the back patio and sat us at a table. We ordered our food and started with Jimmy's Nuggets or cheese curds. They were very tasty and had a batter that reminded me of corn nuggets. I wish we were given more ranch. For my entree, I ordered the Big O. This burger came with bacon, cheese, jalapeños, fried onions, and guacamole on the side. My burger was cooked perfectly with a nice buttered bun. The only aspect of my burger I didn't enjoy was that there was no sauce on this burger. I feel like a Chipotle mayo would have went great with this burger. I tried it was BBQ, sweet habanero, and Chipotle and none caught what I was hoping to taste. The homemade guacamole did help though. My wife had the Aloha that came with a pineapple, ham, avocado, havarti, and teriyaki sauce. If I ever come back to Oscar's, this is the burger I'm ordering. The fries were home cut and were seasoned with garlic parmesan. Oh so savory! Service was pretty good. The value was really good as well as cheese curds, 4 homemade fresh burgers, and a drink was like $53. If you are looking for a homemade burger with home cut fries, try Oscar's! read more

Great burger-if you haven't tried it, you should. It's huge. I highly recommend the big o. The Bloody Mary is also great. Soon to be famous as they call it. Service was good. It's a nice spot to grab a bite to eat! read more

Was recommended to me by a local I was working with. Told me to get the big O burger. So I did. And it was greasy. lol. So much on it. For sure the messiest lunch I've had in a while. Service was prompt but not super friendly. It was a good bar to hang out at. read more

After a Brewers game we had planned on visiting a restaurant known for Laverne and Shirley but it closed early. After much research we found Oscars. We were not disappointed. A great staff and great food. The burgers were huge and very good. You have to get Jimmy's Nuggets. They were fried cheese and were awesome. Great place for sure. read more

Came here with a group of friends since we were from out of the area, and can't wait to come back! Old school Mexican burger pub, with a very lively and loud atmosphere. Our waitress came to seat us right away and got our food order and drinks very fast as well. I ordered their famous "Big O" and it did not disappoint. Fries were also fresh (didn't taste like normal fast food fries) . The burgers are quite large , but everything tasted absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back! read more

The best burgers I've ever had. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, great service and amazing onion rings.

Service at the bar would be my only complaint. Other than that the food is good especially the burgers so if you ate in the area and are looking for a delicious burger and a quick drink try them out. Tuesdays 2 dollar tacos Wednesday wings read more

When I think of Wisconsin, I think of Oscar's after my order of Spotted Cow beer and cheese curds here. Dare, I say the number one Oscar in my life which is saying something when I know five of them. No frills and affordable, Oscar's was what we needed to recharge during a jam-packed weekend. Perfect place to watch the game with friends or kill time before a wedding reception. read more

Nice clean bar and grill in a tiny nice area in the Southside. You walk in to a polished wood bar that is reminiscent of a classy bar in Bayview or the northside. Sit anywhere and the service always seems quick. Appetizers all seem to be made in house. We got wings and a sampler and sweet potato fries. Never had a bad wing here. Just wish there were more flavors. Sweet potato fries are not normal. They gave a nice cinnamon seasoning on them that complement the flavor with that nice warm spice. The sampler had cheese curds, green beans that looked made in house, tenders, fried pickles chips, and fries. All very good, but I wish the curds were cooked a bit longer. Seemed to be warm but not melty. The beans were crisp on the outside, nice and tender on the inside with that bright green color that makes you believe they are battered in house. The fries are cut in house. You can tell by the fresh potato smell on them. Also,I did see them bring a full sheet pan of fresh cut fries through to the kitchen from the prep area. On to the mains. Burgers are the go to here for me. Every one I've ever gotten was very good. This time I got the Big O, while my daughter got a custom. The fiance was full just with the wings. The cook on both burgers was spot on, a perfect medium. One recommendation. Don't order this much food unless you are very hungry. The portions are large. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Don't forget about Oscar's Winners Circle as well. Some owners, mostly same menu from whati remember. Cheers! read more

Went to this restaurant with my book club group. We were given 2 tables at the back of the restaurant which worked out great because we were able to have our book discussion and able to hear each other. Our waiter was friendly and attentive. I ordered the large appetizer platter which had a lot on it for the price. All of the prices seemed very reasonable. Unfortunately, because our group was very large by the time my food arrived it wasn't very warm and being that everything was fried it lost some of its appeal. I think if we had a smaller group our food would have arrived all at the same time so I am sure it would have been hot. I will definitely be back to try the burgers because the prices seemed very reasonable. read more

Oscar's Pub & Grill - Appetizer platter. A lot of food! - New American Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

First time here, I was told that the O burger was good. It is a great burger! Nice atmosphere, courteous staff.

This is our go to Burger place. Typically great service. On Sunday we had a group of 11. Our waitress waited on tables that came in after us. I asked for water three times before I got it. One person ordered burger without bun. We finally got silverware 15 minutes after our food. She checked on us after we got our food and we're completely finished. We were patient because of our size: but the service was poor. read more

I appreciated the timely service and the classic rustic look inside. We were seated immediately. I had a build-your-own burger that came with fries. Everything about my food was good except that the beef patty could use a little more seasoning. It was a little bland. read more

But of course we returned. This is still our favorite little joint. And this time, they didn't disappoint. We were warmly greeted on a Sunday afternoon (the place was busy, but not packed full like last time), and the bartender/server was alert and super helpful. We were seated after about 5minutes of waiting, and service after that was right on. So, I'm happy to report that the disappointment from the last visit is laid to rest and Oscar's is back to being my favorite burger joint in town. read more

I'm always looking for a good burger when traveling for work. Oscar's did not disappoint! I went with "The Big O". ... Black Angus burger, chipotle Jack, Smoked Gouda, Bacon, CHORIZO and fried Jalapeños. The chorizo was kind of mixed in with the cheese as opposed to being another patty. I loved the flavors. Sometimes, chorizo can make things a bit greasy, but that didn't happen here.... excellent burger and highly recommended! The fries were sold as well. I sat at the bar, but there appears to be a decent amount of seating. They have 2 locations about 4 miles apart from each other. I opted to go here even though it was a little further away from my hotel. This one has a nice size parking lot and the other location appears to only have street parking. I was driving a big ol' company van....lol. read more

My wife and I went here since we heard they have good burgers. We stopped in around 3pm on a Saturday and they were packed. We got sat and ordered the Big O and the Big Aloha and a starter of onion rings. The food was fantastic. The only thing that was lacking was our server. She was not very good. There was a food runner who was hustling like crazy and brought us our food but our actual server didn't really do anything. My wife had to go to the bar to get us a refill on our drinks. Despite that, we will definitely return. read more

Disappointed. Heard good things but the bartender was show rude and it was probably the most akward service I ever had at a restaurant. Good was okay but won't be back and don't recommend. Better burger spots in Milwaukee in my opinion. He also shouldn't be giving all of his friends free drinks and shots instead of helping his other customers. read more

I've lived in Milwaukee for about 10 years and I can happily say this is still my favorite burger. Especially for the price! Craft beers are $6. The burger is $9 if I remember correctly. My fiance and I will come here have dinner and 2 beers each for about $50. Great deal. Just be aware they do a taco night (which is also to die for) but that night can get busy. You walk in, smell the amazing food and can grab a seat at the long bar, table or go out to the patio to eat. I will never stop coming here, one of my favorite places to eat! read more

Stopped here for a few drinks and to watch March Madness. I asked to put on the basketball game. Well apparently I'm not a regular. Someone asked to put a soccer game on and they put it on. They only are able to show one channel even though they have 5 TVs. Never coming back here. read more

We came here because of a burger recommendation. Not being from the area we didn't know what to expect. It was super busy and packed! Luckily we got right into a table as another couple left. The burgers were great! Like a homemade burger should be! The FFs were fresh not frozen! The service was awesome! Our waitress was so busy but she never forgot anything and was very pleasant. It was rather noisy and loud but there were a couple large parties celebrating. However, once they left the noise level decreased. We agree that we would definitely go back! read more

Oscar's Pub & Grill - Burger & fries - New American Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Favorite place to eat with my family when we want burgers. My son insisted we take our family when they were visiting from out of state.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, and when you get inside, it seems like your average dive bar. However, the food was outstanding. I had the Big O burger, one of the best burgers I have had in a while. I tried their chicken wings while there, and they were top-notch. I did not have the fries, but I noticed they were fresh-cut, my favorite. I am not a drinker, but they had an extensive beer list. I tried an NA beer, and I was glad they had a few options. The server was attentive and friendly. The bill was reasonable for all that we ate. I would go back if I were craving a burger in the area. read more

We came here for the first time after hearing great things and reading glowing reviews. Unfortunately, our experience didn't match the hype. Our food was prepared incorrectly twice, and we ended up not eating. Really disappointed, especially given how much we were looking forward to it. read more
