Oscar's Pier 83

Get the bread bowl! It didn't disappoint. It was lightly toasted and the chowder was delicious. She got the jumbo fish taco deal. We enjoyed the meal. Thanks. Coke products in a to go paper cup. Veteran discounts! Average portions. Prices are what you would expect for seafood. Good atmosphere.

My daughter and I stopped by Oscar’s Pier 83 (59th Ave & Union Hills) for the first time, and it definitely won’t be our last! From the moment we walked in, we felt a warm welcome and the place was clean and inviting—including the bathrooms, which always says a lot. We ordered one of the cod and shrimp combos with fries (full basket) and an 8oz cup of their daily-made clam chowder. Everything was hot, fresh, and packed with flavor! My daughter had the kids chicken tenders, and she loved them too. The restaurant has a fun, fast-paced atmosphere, and the energy was great. This place definitely passes the vibe check. If you’re ever in the mood for fish & chips and some of the best clam chowder around, I strongly recommend giving Oscar’s Pier 83 a visit! #SeafoodSpot #OscarsPier83 #FishAndChowderWin

We lived in Seattle for some time and there was no problem finding good fish and chips. Coming back to Phoenix we wanted to find a good fish and chips place and Oscar’ Pier 83 did not disappoint. The fish was hot and fresh. The batter is thin but not too thin and the tartar sauce was spot on. For the price, which was very reasonable, you get a very generous portion of fish and fries. The restaurant is clean. When we went it was very busy but we were able to get a table for our group of 4 with no wait. The staff were super friendly and by the crowd you can tell this is a regular spot for many. We will definitely be back to try all the other offerings, but it might be hard to pass up the fish and chips.

My friends have been going here for a long time. I finally decided to take the plunge and try it. I'm not a huge seafood person but I really enjoyed the fish and chips. They were perfectly crispy. The cold slaw was delicious, too. I can see why my friends keep going back.

I recently visited Oscars Pier 83 seafood restaurant and had a great experience overall. The atmosphere was laid back and relaxing, which made for a pleasant dining experience. The staff, including Karri, Cierra, and Liz, were absolutely fantastic. They were incredibly helpful, especially when it came to accommodating my daughter's food allergies. It really made the experience much more enjoyable and stress-free. I ordered the fried salmon plate with steak fries and coleslaw. The food was decent, though not spectacular. The salmon was good, but I personally thought it could have been a bit crispier. My daughter tried the catfish with double fries, but it wasn’t quite the typical fried catfish we’re used to. We definitely preferred the salmon over the catfish. Overall, I’m giving this a four-star review, mostly for the food, but I have to say the amazing staff and the laid-back atmosphere really made up for it. Karri, Cierra, and Liz went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. I’d still recommend this place, and I’d definitely return for the great service and relaxed vibe.

The place is decorated very on brand and better than most and the service was excellent helpful and attentive. But other than that it's just fine. Certainly overpriced for what it is but the menu is expansive. Paying three dollars per piece of "jumbo" shrimp for what I would say is SM-MD will not start me off on the right foot. Picture attached. The hushpuppies were fine but also small. Fish was crispy but with less batter than I like on a hood fish and chips basket and was lacking any real flavor minus the vinegar or tartar you add. Overall it's fine if it's what you are looking for but $50 for two has a lot of quality options.

Solid seafood restaurant. Fried Shrimp were super good. Hush Puppies were just OK. Fried Cod was also really good though the batter was separating from the fish. Fries were good but not great. Clam Chowder was also good but nothing special, large pieces of potato but very little clam. Will be back for another try.

had an enjoyable, quick lunch and day outside on a shaded side patio, but the was plenty of inside seating if we had wanted that. Orders were placed with a cashier fast food style, and our plates were brought outside to us promptly when cooked. My companion had a fish taco and I ordered a fish sandwich. The meals were hot when brought to us and tasty when eaten. Gave 4 stars for 2 categories because it is casual dining, not up scale, but we are regular customers there because the quality makes us want to return often.

A great place for excellent quality food and a relaxed atmosphere with wonderfully helpful service. The fried cod, fried jumbo shrimp, and clam strips were very good. Service was outstanding: fast, friendly, courteous and helpful!

We have eaten here a few times. We like the AYCE catfish and cod/tilapia. We had the fish tacos also. Beer prices are reasonable service is pretty quick - even with the "refills" for fish. My only complaint...sometime the fish can be a little greasy. Def not a deal breaker and no way to know ahead of time....but if you have a sensitive tummy...it could be a little heavy for you. I would still recommend.

Continued perfectly crispy succulent food with friendly staff and an expanded seating area The place has grown since I last was here, it's the same quality food but they doubled the size of the inside so there is more seating! Yay! I have added some pics. see previous review for most items Cod Cake is good flavored but it's not as good as a crab cake, I'd just skip it and go for a fried piece of other fish. Catfish is the most succulent. The Calamari is quite good as well, super juicy.

Best fried seafood in the valley! Food is made fresh to order and always piping hot. French fries are always good. Get the seafood pasta salad! It's a tasty upgrade. Also believe it or not. If you're not a seafood fan, get the chicken tenders! They are huge and Panko crusted. Super crispy. Don't taste fishy so they use separate oil. Sooo good

Fun place to meet up! If you haven't been here, you need to try. Housemate items you will enjoy!

I really like catfish and finding good catfish locally is a challenge. The catfish here is amazing and fresh and made many different ways. Cajun, broiled and fried. Portions are great with fries and coleslaw or substitute +$ for hush puppies and/or clam chowder. Some of the best fish I've had in a long while. I've been back many times and have not been disappointed. The shrimp is amazing broiled ,fried and cocktail (jumbo). The new hush puppies are delicious and they also offer beer and wine. ( Cooked custom just ask )

The fish is always good and the prices are reasonable. The ambience is like a fish market. Nice place for a verity of fish and chips.

Holy cow!!! Went with my Mother today and it was really good! To be fair I usually don't like the order at the counter and find a table it's kind of fast food ish vibe but for the food I'll do it! I have been craving fried shrimp so I ordered "jumbo fried shrimp (4)" that came with a mountain of fries and coleslaw I skipped that (not a slaw fan!" I know the term "jumbo is relative and is often misused" but these were JUMBO shrimp thank goodness I didn't get the 6 I could never have finished them. Crunchy light batter almost tempura like with big juicy shrimp. The fries were crispy and not too salty, staff was AMAZING welcoming and patient A+ my mom had a seasonal special of theirs soft shell crab and let me say this she is VERY PICKY about her soft shell crab and struggles to find a restaurant that suits her, she said it was very good and it was literally three good size crabs and it had such a nice sweetness to it that is indicative of blue crabs. What a great little spot will definitely be back!

Small local business. Great seafood -- fish and chips and fish tacos are amazing. Clam chowder is good too! Great prices ask. Cute place, we come often! Try it!!

Trying this place out that's been in the valley for over 18 years. Hidden in a strip mall down from the CVS. Was recommended by IG azfoodguy. I was truly impressed with the quality of the Catfish and the restaurant. Side e note when you doing the all you can eat make sure to get out your seat and let them know they're not mind readers. Everything was great, will be back soon to try the clam chowder Make sure and come get you some good seafood here. You won't be disappointed!!!

Good place for clam chowder in a bread bowl or fish and chips! Service is fast and pleasant!

The fish portions are quite generous and delicious! I thoroughly enjoyed the Cod fish and chips alongside the clam chowder bread bowl. I will certainly be coming back for more of their scrumptious seafood.

We've been coming here for well over a decade at this point. Sometimes, I just feel like I need to hit this place us up, stat. Today was that day. They have a long haired male employee who never seems to remember me (understandable since I tend only to come in once a year) but I know he has been here forever and does an excellent job. I didn't see the owner Ron tonight either - but that's ok. I know he'll read this review when he gets around to it. The food is superb, that's all you really need to know.

We're having our late lunch for the first time Mom ordered the A La Carte meal Aunt ordered Soft Shell meal And I ordered Shrimp Louie salad and Tilapia(extra piece) The Service are great And the atmosphere liked marine boarders from the ocean

Nothing bad to say at all. Great staff, clean, fantastic fish and chips. The cod was cooked to perfection and fries had a nice flavoring on them that was not over done. Will come back again

Great food We've been here numerous times. Food has always been great. A little pricey but worth it. You get a lot of food. Great service. Family owned and operated business. The shrimp platter is really good.

Got a 16 oz clam chowder to start. Nice texture and creamy and had plenty of crab in it. Highly recommend it before the main course. The dinner was six big butterfly shrimp with fries and coleslaw. Slaw was homemade and had really good flavor but the french fries were advertised the steak fries and we're really shoestring fries which were not anything to talk about. Real diverse menu between fried seafood and broiled Seafood and lots of different choices.

I absolutely love their fried dishes. Fried calamari was the best and certain fish sandwiches just perfect. just really hits the spot after a long day of work!

The food is good. The service is fast and friendly. And the ambiance is American dinner. Huge places with lots of seating. Try the onion rings! The burgers are great too!

Clam chowder was absolutely amazing. Got the fish and chips as well which were very good as well but thoroughly outshined by the clam chowder.. definitely top 5 fish and chips in Phoenix for me

The catfish was very questionable. Nothing like I am used to. My suggestion is to sticking ordering the cod.

A regular good quick seafood special meal. Usually the shrimp combo meal. Good, quick, tasty food, and staff service.

Tyler was ur cashier this evening and was so warm and welcoming and friendly. First time here and when I mentioned that as we paid for our food, Kenny ensured us we would LOVE it! He wasn't wrong! I was here with my dad and his fiancé for a late night dinner. It was close to closing time and they made us feel completely welcome and not even rushed. Kenny and Tyler and also the whole kitchen staff I have to commend! The ambiance is amazing. Also... to the AMAZING Kitchen staff that cooked for us this evening...without you it wouldn't be possible... thank you!!!! To: Yessi, Cole and Monica for cooking up the best food this evening for us. You guys had the best smiles on your face and were so friendly at the register! Thank you for making our Friday night special! We will absolutely be back and be telling EVERYONE about this amazing gem that we have been missing out on. To any staff I may have missed tonight please know that customer service at this level is hard to come by and you are appreciated!

I've been back numerous times and the shoestring fries (my favorite) have been cooked and salted absolutely perfect each time. BTW....turns out the clam chowder is incredible! Love this place and eat here often. One more thing; for hell sakes people, tip the staff! They obviously take pride in their work/product.

In the mood for seafood? Head on over to Oscar's. I met some lady friends here for lunch and we all decided to do fish and chips. Cod, catfish and shrimp were all equally delicious. It came with mountain of fresh fries and coleslaw. Service was excellent and very friendly. I want to try their soft shell crab and tacos next. Real soon! Highly highly recommend. Their signage is really small. It's behind CVS, in the south east corner of 59th and Union Hills.

Excellent service even when it's busy and it gets busy. Good selection of seafood if you like deep fried style. Very good fish and chips. I like their shrimp Po Boy. Not as good as you find in Louisiana but still a huge amount of shrimp, and very tasty.

Service is questionable. I've had 2 occasions where I had to go back because they left an item I bought out of the bag. The manager gave me a certificate for a free taco to compensate

The clam chowder and hush puppies were decent; the tilapia taco wasn't very good. Im guessing I chose the wrong fish since most people I heard order after me got the cod fish and chips. If I go back, I'll give that a try next time.

The atmosphere right when you walk in is amazing. The themed decor is very aesthetic. The employees are amazing and the customer service was great! The food was delicious and fresh.

I was in the area and came by again for lunch. The service was outstanding! The food was outstanding. Nothing has changed. I really recommend giving this place a try. My kids love their chicken strips. They have many options. My favorite has been the fish tacos.

We ordered the broiled salmon and fish and chips dinner. Both were very good. I had the seafood pasta salad - I don't like shrimp so I just picked those out but the crab was great. Grilled vegetables needed a little more grilling but they were good too

Haven't been in awhile, so I thought I'd mention it's still as good as you remember. They have soft shell crabs RIGHT NOW, so get them while it's hot. It's a short season folks. Tried all 3 hot sauces, and Tabasco won that contest, easily. If you haven't tried it, or like me, haven't been in awhile then get there NOw, I repeat, Right Now.

This was our first time at Oscar's and it did not disappoint. My husband ordered the Cod Fish 'n Chips and I had the two piece salmon fried up the same. I also ordered 2 fried shrimp (fantastic) and a large Clam Chowder. So yummy. Honestly, I was most impressed with the crispy breading. I could hear my husband bite into his fish with a loud crunch. Super impressive... will absolutely return!

If your looking for a traditional fish n chips this place exceeds your expectations! Best of the best!! Menu's unbelievable choice of Clam chowder bread bowls & much more!! Google the menu! Excellent service!! Inside dining & out along with take out fast service!!(:

Great food small portions... way over priced. But all restaurants have raised prices at this point. Very clean

We paid a visit last night to take Ken up on his offer to make things right. Ken was not there but Carmen took good care of us after I explained what our concerns were. The solution to the soggy fries was to package the shrimp and fries separately. This worked! No more soggy fries. Also, the shrimp and fish we ordered tasted fresh and was perfect. The odd taste from last time was thankfully absent. We will return once again.

Not great food. Overly oily and not great flavor. Pricey for what you get. Nothing special and not great.

My husband & I love Oscar's Pier 83 restaurant. I especially like the giant fried shrimp with sweet potato fries & their amazing Cole slaw! Their other fish dishes are just as good. We also like the option of sitting outside on their patio when the weather is nice.

I crave the fish here. I love the catfish it is my all time favorite. Service never disappoints They have a nice outside seating area. My favorite fish place ever.

Normally, I love this place. But I usually get the fish and chips. I tried something different today and got the seared tuna. Boy was that a mistake. And they got my order wrong. Unfortunately, it was take out, and I didn't have time to return the meal. So that was a waste of $20. The tuna was overcooked and dry. Seafood salad was bland and they dumped a bunch of vegetables I didn't ask for. Worst experience there so far. Not sure I'll return. Only reason why it wasn't 1 star is because my husband's clam chowder was ok.

The best clam chowder in Arizona. It comes in a wonderful Arizonasour dough bowl. All the food we have there is great. Give it a try, you won't be sorry.

Been here twice now and it has been very good. As a New Englander I really enjoy Haddock and Oscar's does not disappoint! The Cod Cakes are amazing! This time I went with the jumbo shrimp and they were wicked awesome! One of the very few places in AZ where the flavor of the seafood does not get lost in seasoning or frying! Definitely go check them out!

Wow!!! Wow!!! Myself and husband & Sister and brother in law visited here for the first time. Omg!!! This place is a 10 compared to and other places through the Entire Az, If your loving crispy cod fish and shrimp Search no more. This is THE PLACE service was Excellent and Very Clean too. This place deserves 10 stars

Excellent food. My wife and I love the fish and the french fries. Some of my favorite. They have Coke products, always a plus. The staff is also amazing. Nice and professional. No negatives I can think of. Enjoy.

Ordered cod and fried clam combo. There might be clams in there somewhere, however the greasy over battered food left them hidden. Not worth the trip, very disappointed

Great place! The fish is incredibly moist. The breading is light and crispy and wasn't soggy at all. French fries are very good and for just $2 you can upgrade one of your sides to veggies which are delicious and you get a big portion of them! Highly recommend you go here and try the cod fish & chips & veggies!!

Basing this review entirely on DoorDash delivery dining, I absolutely love Oscar's Pier 83!! Best lobster tails in the Valley, the teppan ROCKS! Soft shell crab rolls, mouth watering just thinking about it, can't wait to dine in, anticipating it

Looking for Da Spot to go to for your seafood fix....Oscar's Pier 83 is the place to be! Located in a shopping center in Glendale so parking is no problem! Very clean establishment and great customer service! A large selection of seafood to choose from. Large portions of food for very reasonable priced! We ordered the following: Haddock fish n chips meal - AMAZING & DELISH! Large meaty fish portions. Meal came with fries and coleslaw. Fries cooked to perfection and coleslaw was delish! Jumbo shrimp taco - Jumbo taco comes in an 8inch flour tortilla so bring your Jumbo appetite! IT IS MASSIVE! Shrimp Po-boy sandwich - I HAVE NEVER BEEN SERVED A PO-BOY SANDWICH THAT HAD SHRIMP FALLING OUT THE SEAMS OF THE BUN!!!!! Oscar's DOES NOT SINCH on their portion of seafood they serve you! Hush puppies - good flavor, not dry, and perfect portion Sweet potato fries - cooked to perfection and delish

Stopped in for a late lunch on May 25. I've had this on my list of places to try for about a year! I did not know this place has been here for 20 years! The nice lady at the counter was really cool as I waded my way through the big menu. I ended up with the cod fish and chips, slaw, fries, hush puppies and chowder in the sourdough bread bowl. I was really hungry. Everything was really great! The chowder was delicious! I will definitely make this a part of my regular restaurants going forward! I highly recommend Oscars!

Stumbled across this place when visiting Phoenix. Being that I was with people who have lived here for decades they were quite surprised to find this little gem. We enjoyed the opportunity to sit on the patio in comfortable chairs evening weather. There are several seating options inside and out. The clam chowder was full of flavor (added a touch of salt to match our taste buds). Our party had both fried and grilled fish and found it al delicious. The seafood pasta salad was filled with good sized pieces of crab and shrimp and the steak fries were a hit at the table. There was a great portion of vegetables to go with the grilled fish, but wish we had options for some additional seasoning (maybe some lemon pepper on the side?). Appreciate having several condiment options for the fish and fries. Very happy to have found this little seafood gem in the middle of Phoenix. I know I'll be back as well as the locals that joined me.
