Well, well, Mr. Oscar Castañeda. You and your team have worked your burger magic again, and for that I am grateful. Your new restaurant is smartly designed and a welcome rehabilitation to an old West Milwaukee space. And the burgers you sling are every bit as tasty as the ones at 17th and Pierce -- perhaps even better, as they push the boundaries of what a burger can be. Case in point, the Bahn Mi Burger. This is what I had on my first visit. Topped with sesame garlic sauce, melted fontina cheese, sliced cucumbers, cilantro, and pickled radishes, carrots, and onions, dare I say this'll be the burger on my next visit too? I think it will, because this is one tasty meat sandwich. Plus you upped the ante on the craft beer selections. I totally dig that. Classified by style, there is something for everybody, including my go-to beer to pair with a good burger: Miller High Life in a bottle. That's dining perfection there, my friend. With a game on the telly, a friend at your side, an Oscar's burger and a bottle of Milwaukee's bubbly finest, NOW you're living the high life. read more

Oscar's Winner's Circle - The Bahn Mi burger is the bomb. - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This place is one of my favorites in Milwaukee. Go with a group a friends so you can try all the burgers (or most of them)! The Asada fries were delicious. It was so good we ordered another one. The tikka masala wings were also good. I've never tried this flavor anywhere else so this was a first. My favorite burger was the macho burger. It was topped with marinated pork which almost tasted like a cross between a burger and torta. I'd definitely come back for this was again. We tried a few other ones which were also quite tasty. read more

We have ordered takeout from Oscar's Winner's Circle almost weekly during the pandemic. The staff is always friendly and adheres to CDC guidelines. The food is consistently great, hot and ready quickly. The value here is outstanding - we often pay less than $20 for two amazing burgers that come with their very tasty fries. While I don't eat fish, my husband states that their fish fry is the best in the city. read more

Oscar has outdone himself with this new location. Plenty of tvs, massive tap list, beautiful decor and still my favorite burger in the city. I had the bahn mi burger cooked to my perfect med rare, and it was seriously one of the best things I've ever eaten. Next time I'm adding jalepenos. I solo dined at the bar, and the service was spot on. Even splurged on an amazing shot of mezcal and my tab with beer was still under $20. Can't beat it, and can't wait to return read more

Nice place, good fish fry, good beer selection, right across from MADACC so an excellent place to stop in before adopting a cat or after rescuing a cat. Good customer service, and really I like this location better than the original. Looking at the earlier reviews, I just wonder how hard it must be to start up a restaurant even if you do know what you're doing. I'm glad I waited until they knew what they were doing. read more

Amazing burgers! Why was this my first time here? I'm so mad that I've deprived my tastebuds from so much joy. I had the burger that I saw over and over in many of the reviews . . The Winner's Burger. It was amazing with toppings that I would not have tried together in the past, but I'm so glad that I did. And now let's talk about the fries. . . oh the fries were equally amazing. We also had wings that were seasoned well and tasty. There's real cooking going on in that kitchen! read more

Stopped here on the first day of baseball season to a full house. Stood by the door for awhile waiting to get put on a list to sit. Never happened. There seemed to be only 2 people working in the whole place so I approached the bartender and got put on the waitlist. Pretty nice selection of beers here. Tried a pilsner and a basil cider from Seattle which was nice. Was able to sit after about a 15 minute wait. The one waitress who was doing the whole dinning room did her best to take our orders no complaints there. Everyone in the party ordered burgers. Food didn't take to long to come out. I built my own burger with bacon,cheese and onions and requested medium temp. Received a well down burger that was pretty bland and altogether simply average. Fries that came with were soggy and visually unappealing. Burgers are cheap here and drinks also. I personally having eaten at the other location think they probably need a little time to work out the kinks. I'll have to check bad here in the summer. read more

Love OWC. The food is always great, the staff is friendly, the prices are tough to beat. Pretty much everything you want in a bar.

Oscars has THE BEST burgers! I have never tasted a burger so fresh before! Their fries are incredible, as well. You cannot beat their prices, too! I love that they have both a beer and cocktail list available. They do weekly specials, too. Our waitress is amazing. I wish I knew her name! She always remembers me when I come and always has a smile on her face. read more

Today we decided to support a local business during a hard time. We ordered two of their signature burgers to go. When we got home and opened our container expecting to see their wonderful burger with glorious toppings, we found a plane burger with cheese. As we paid for burgers with bacon, ham, onions, peppers, pickles, etc, we were quite disappointed. We are frequent customers of the original location, but we will not be returning to this one. read more

Good local spot near the ballpark in a residential neighborhood. Friendly folks with many beer selections. Liked the MKE Cream Ale. Basic bar food with a Mexican influence.The chicken wrap was delicious with tasty homemade fries. My only complaint was the light pour on the bourbon I ordered. But the beer more than compensated. read more

Oh my god this is the best burger I've ever had my wife. The MKE burger was phenomenal. Let me stress that it was phenomenal. The french fries were amazing. They were hot and crispy and fresh. The burger we start on the burger, I asked for medium it was good radio it was amazing to see him delicious. Customer sake MTV burger is parked on a plane. Cooked perfectly cheese cheese curds bacon was perfect toasted delicious everything was amazing. I had a lot of burgers in Milwaukee about this one takes the cake. And the price is amazing. Let me tell you it was like seven dollars for this burger and fries I would've easily paid double yes you heard me right I would pay double for it. I'll still be happy I have you watching the Super Bowl had a special three dollar draft beers I am overjoyed . I ordered a draft spotted cow hey I'm in Milwaukee that's what I'm gonna drink the second one I had was toppling Goliath pseudo- Sue let me tell you that is a world class beer, and that's three dollars I was completely and I'll be amazed. You have to give this place a try! Our waitress was awesome, Come out and give it a try will not be disappointed. The food is amazing and for the prices is incredible deal. Take it from this yelper this place is a plus plus top-of-the-line perfect 10. read more

You had me at 40 tap beers. The cheese curds were plentiful for $6, and they were better than the typical restaurant fare. But this place is about the burgers! I'm watching the waistline so I went with the pollo loco wrap, which was ok--a lot of lettuce and minimal chicken with a bit of kick to it. My son ordered a Macho burger and he only got through half of it--unusual for him! He described it as amazing, overwhelming--"A lot going on" in his words. He was talking about how good it was a day later. The garlic fries were decent. Almost a five star place--I think for me that the menu is average beyond the burgers. FIVE stars for the burgers and beer though! Fast and friendly service. read more

My family and I, total of 5, came in on a Saturday at 12:45pm and had the WORSE young girl wait on us. She had an attitude off the bat and was not personable at all. To the point where we didn't even stay for food. My sister spilled a drink and the young girl was so bothered by us. When she came back with a rag she said "Can I clean it up" with an attitude. I really hope the business owners hold their staff accountable for how they act especially when customers get up and leave and the business looses business. read more

In my opinion Oscar's Winner's Circle and the original location have the most delicious burgers in Milwaukee at the most reasonable prices. The Bahn Mi burger comes with pickled radish, onions, and carrots, melted cheesy goodness, cilantro, and a sesame garlic aioli.... with fries for only $7.75!!! No additional ketchup or mustard is needed on this burger; it is perfect. All burgers come with Parmesan dusted fries that are delicious. They also have a great beer selection. Ate lunch there and wasn't hungry for hours and hours later! read more

Two things I luv when I go to a new joint...cold beer and great service. My waitress was all smiles when I came close to closing. She showed me what she thought was great on the menu and I went with the asada fries. Washed it down with a nice cold pbr from tap. My first time here and not gonna be my last. Great service and bomb food is hard to come by in this area. Props to the curly haired waitress with glasses (u rock). Highly recommend read more

If you like Oscar's on Pierce, you will love this place. It is quieter. It has colder beer, better chicken wings, and better tasting french fries. The atmosphere is more inviting for a date. Still has the TV's for sports. And the burgers are still the best in the city! read more

When people ask me what is the best burgers in town my answers are always here or their original location of Oscars on pierce. The burgers are truly one of a kind. Full of flavor that is indescribable. Please try it read more

Excellent hamburgers, reasonable prices, great service. I will definitely eat there again; I've already tried most of their menu.

Heartbreaking to find, that we waited sooooo long for this?!? We LOVE the Pierce location, this was nothing close. Of 9 people, 4 had incorrect orders. Not small mistakes either. No one had a burger cooked to their requested liking. I requested rare and received a burned hockey puck. Also, why even waste our time, reading long-winded descriptions of amazing toppings, when we dissected the creations, there was no sign of 5 of the 8 toppings on our Macho, Gordo or Winner burger. The servers showed no interest in our issues, we had a Gluten allergy at our table who ordered no bun, and when the burger arrived with a bun... they just took it off in front of us!?! I want to say we will try again soon, since we live only a few blocks away.... but I dont think we will :( read more

Out of all the bars in Milwaukee area, this one is probably my new favorite. Everything about this place made me want to come back. They had about 20 beers on tap that were VERY affordable along with a 2$ mystery bottle off craft beer where they randomly grab a craft beer and give it to you. The staff was very accommodating and nice as well. After all of that, the food was the real shiner. Everyone in my party of 7 got one of their unique .5 lb burgers with their various additions and loved every bite. The burgers are expertly made and cooked to order perfectly. The side of fries has a hint of parmesan as well as a fresh cut feel. And after everyone got a beer and a burger, the entire bill was around 70$!! I will definitly come back here often read more

Oscar's Winner's Circle - Winner burger. AMAZING FLAVOR with fried egg, cheese, curds, bacon, and fried pickle. - Burgers Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Horrible service from the male bartender. Didn't acknowledge me in the least when I was picking up my order. A female server asked for payment and he brought food over but didn't hand it to me, he placed it on the bar in front of two other guys that were dining at the bar and plain walked away? He obviously hates his job and can care less if the business he works for is successful, he's obviously in the wrong business. This was a while back but the owner needs to hire friendlier people that understand the customer service concept. We don't buy from a venue and like being treated like it doesn't matter by staff. People will think twice before ordering again if it means dealing with peoples bad attitudes. read more

Well... I want to preface this by saying I completely understand they were WAAAY busier than they normally will be (they've been open just a few days) and the staff was clearly absolutely slammed. I'm excited to go back and try again after things settle down a bit. The place is small and we waited about a half hour to be seated. There isn't really a waiting area of any sort but again, there is probably not a need for one once the hype settles. Service was friendly, although obviously overwhelmed. The food was... fine. We LOVE the original Oscars and didn't feel that the burgers compared- my husbands was bordering on well done when medium was requested. The cook on mine was closer, but the wax-paper that separates cheese slices was still on the cheese... like, inside my burger. I probably ate a bite or two of it before I figured out what was so tough... Now to be fair we didn't bother the server with these issues and I imagine they would have been happily rectified. After the wait and with all the chaos of just opening we just moved on and ate as we were starving. I had the bahn mi which was pretty good, cheese malfunction aside. My husband had the gordo which he found pretty underwhelming although to be fair he was probably mentally comparing to the Big O which isn't even a competition. I can't stress enough how much we want to come back in a month or two and try again but the first try was a miss. read more

Nice atmosphere and bar. Lots of TV's to watch games, but the Burger fell short of my expectations. The Bun and toppings were superb, but it tasted like a frozen patty to me. I guess my expectations were higher since I've heard nothing but good things about oscars. The fries were very good. I would come back and maybe just have an appetizer and beer at the bar while watching a game. I came in on a Thursday around 2pm only a few other customers there so the service was fast. The waitress was friendly and attentive this is why I gave it 4 starts instead of 3. If the patty was more flavorful I would have given this place 5 stars. read more

Probably the best burgers in Milwaukee. So many flavors in each bite. The steak fries are an awesome upgrade! And the prices are great!

Awesome!!!!!fries perfect...burger great flavor and juicy..blt great..aps good..mole wings phenomenal...clean..open..casual atmosphere...been following on Facebook and all looked good and the place exceeded my expectations which is a little hard to do...porter draft beer cold and awesome ...wow ..try this place... read more

food is good i like their food the burgers and icr cream is also good better than most fast food places

As a longtime fan of Oscar's Pub, I was really looking forward to Oscar's second location on Burnham. But I'm sad to say something is missing. The menu is slightly expanded, compared to the original Pub. The quality of meat in the burgers is still excellent, but it's just not got that wonderful steaky-ness the Pub has. Side dishes are more of a disappointment. Onion rings taste more like your basic industrial ring rather than those amazing beer batter o-rings served at the Pub. Cole slaw was also less than great. In all, it's not terrible. And the prices remain amazingly cheap (like $5 for the basic half-pound burger!). But the gastronomic thrill just isn't there. The location has lots of windows and the restaurant is bright and open. But, man, is it noisy! And I don't mean music noisy either, since there was none the night we were there. But the acoustics seem to magnify every conversation in room! Even though it was early evening and the place was only about one-third full, it was so noisy I could barely carry on a conversation. read more

Friendly and talkative staff, great beer selection, and one of the best places in Milwaukee to find an impossible burger. Customize it to your liking during their Monday burger specials, or enjoy a "flaca burger" their way, topped with fantastic pickled red onions. Oscar's has quickly become our go-to pub for a brew and burger! read more

I've been to the other Oscars restaurant a handful of times and the food has been great every time. They're consistent and very fairly priced. I just tried the fish fry and it was the best one I've ever had. I will definitely be back again soon. read more

The burgers are so delicious and the price is very reasonable. This review is coming from someone who doesn't even care for burgers all that much, but my family and I decided to give it a try after looking at their Facebook page. I ordered the Flaca burger and it was so good. I'm not vegan so I had mine with fontina cheese. Yum! My husband ordered the tailgate burger and he loved it. My daughter had the MKE burger and she enjoyed hers too! I would highly recommend this place. read more

Today we decided to go there and grab a burger. We've been there many times before. Well tonight was a horrible experience! They had the air conditioning on so cold that we decided to sit outside. First of all the service there was slow, but we have gotten accustomed to that because they always seem to have only one server working for all the customers to include getting the drinks. The food finally came out, and the fries were freakin ice cold. Then the bun, which usually is on point, warm and crispy, came out cold like it came out of the grocery store. I then went into the bathroom after we were done, and it smelled like a gas station bathroom. We are done with this place! I'm all about consistency, and this place is not. It makes me sad because I know they can do better. I wish I had the owner's phone number so I could have this conversation with him instead of this review. read more

Initially came here because they have the impossible burger. They have a great beer selection and food is decent. Service is hit or miss. The place is usually busy and we always sit at the bar so service has been a little slow most times we go. On Tuesdays they have a taco deal and I think they often have a beer of the month which is usually good. We will go back because the food is predictable, but service could definitely be better. Recommend going in the summer. They have a cute patio in the back read more
