    The Big Gringo & Jimmys Nuggets
    Steph M.

    Stopped in for a bite after a brewers game. Burger was made to order & establishment was clean

    Looking forward from the back room

    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

    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.

    The grease left by the big O burger
    Alex M.

    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.

    The Aloha

    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!

    Nice  and clean  old Milwaukee charm

    Very good burger and fries , very good service , and for the size and quality of the burger, very reasonably priced. A winner !

    The food was excellent! A great place to get a burger. The have a parking lot and street parking. The place was super busy for a weekday. There was plenty on seating and bar seating.

    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!

    Stopped in for one of these delicious treats..... late supper so why not
    Kay R.

    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

    Appetizer platter. A lot of food!

    Do they require reservation for 10? We don't need to pay together or even sit right next to each other, I'm not sure of the seating layout. TIA!

    I don't think they take reservations, but it would be polite to give them a heads up of how many people will be in your party, so they can plan accordingly.

    I heard Oscar's has Monday tacos? Sounds great! What can I expect?

    Tuesdays. Al Pastor or Carne Asada topped with a cilantro and onion mixture. Choice of corn or flour tortillas. Sauces served on the side. $1 per taco.

    Is the veggie burger vegan?

    Yes. It is bean based.

    What is on the fries?? I can't tell if it was parmigiana or not but it was delicious!

    Yes. That's what it is. Very yummy.

Consistently busy over the years and for good reason. I've been here a few times and I've never been disappointed with the service or the food.

I love that the food I've ordered here has always exceeded my expectations with the seasonings and quality of ingredients used. Reasonably priced too! If you don't have a reservation, you may end up waiting for a table in the back area at a high top but it's a great opportunity to enjoy one of their great drinks in the meantime!

We quite literally came here straight from the airport. To make matters worse, we had not eaten anything substantial all day and had actually looked this restaurant up weeks before our trip while researching places to eat the infamous Wisconsin fish fry, so we were really looking forward to the experience. The experience started off poorly when our party was essentially scolded by the hostess for sitting at a table that apparently needed to be cleaned for the wait list. To make matters worse, the busser laughed and joked that we were "in trouble," to which I could only respond, "Sounds like it." Not exactly the welcoming atmosphere you'd hope for as a first time visitor. The fish fry was decent our tab came out to $150 for 5 people, but the service was absolutely subpar and our tip reflected that. We also had to send back two drink glasses because they were dirty one still had lipstick on it, and another had food stuck to the inside of the glass. Overall, this was a very disappointing dining experience. Between the unprofessional treatment, lackluster service, and cleanliness issues, I would not recommend stopping here. There are plenty of other restaurants worth trying instead.

Right off the bat, one of the things that stood out to me was how incredibly affordable this place was! Looking at the prices, I was surprised that you could get a burger here for around twelve bucks including fries. That's like fast food prices. Most restaurants charge way more than that and don't include fries, so this place is an amazing bargain! We got their cheese balls, which were cheese curds. These were not bad. I do prefer a more beer battered curd, but I didn't mind these. I also got a bacon cheeseburger called The Loser. In reality, it tastes like a winner. The bread bun is amazing, so soft and fresh. The burger is juicy and flavorful. It's also not too crazy big where all the toppings fall apart. The fries were also crispy and tasty. Our server was also very kind and attentive. She gave us sugar cookies at the end of our meal, which was a nice treat. Overall, I enjoyed coming here. I would come here again to catch a game and enjoy a drink and some bites.

The other components of the dish included fried bangers (sausages), black & white pudding (blood sausage & pork), baked beans, sauteed mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, bacon, and another small puck of sausage, as well as brown bread and butter. It was a great value with some items I liked and some I didn't due to personal preference, not because anything wasn't prepared well, as it all appeared to be cooked properly. My girlfriend ordered the Celtic Grilled Cheese with bacon, arugula, aged white cheddar, aioli, grilled tomatoes on toasted sourdough. Her sandwich looked amazing, and I regret not asking for a bite. That may be a future order for me. She loved it! I also ordered the County Clare Bloody Mary, which is made with their own seasoning blend and served with a chaser of Harp beer. They asked me how spicy I wanted it, and I said medium, which I think they nailed. This was one of the best Bloodies I've had in town!
