Where to Drink a Guinness in the Milwaukee Area This Winter | Eater

"Guinness is just one of 40 beers on tap at Oscar’s, so if you prefer a Guinness half and half, there’s a lot of other halves to choose from. Savor your pint with one of Oscar’s famed half-pound burgers topped with everything from Wisconsin white cheddar, American cheese, and bacon to ham, havarti, pineapple, and avocado." - Jeanette Hurt

Best burgers in Milwaukee, and you get to pick your temp. I recommend the Big Aloha or Big Foot Burger! Greatest burgers I've ever eaten. Absolutely amazing place just south of the casino and offers an authentic Wisconsin pub experience with superior food and beer selection. This will be my regular place from now on!

This local treasure never misses. The staff is friendly, the food is delicious and the vibes never miss. Get the Aloha or the Big O. Have the bartender make you a PG Paloma.

Can't go wrong with the BIG O Burger. One of the best burger in town. Comes with amazing fries. Sometimes they're light on the fries. 10/10 Bloody Mary Not too bad. Good spice. Celery, bacon, cheese and olive. But they're heavy on the ice. 7/10

Burgers at this place are fantastic and messy is the best way possible. I can't wait to go back. They also have a great beer selection, over 40 different craft brews. Oh and the French fries are some of the best I've had.

Burger was spot on, delicious and served with fresh cut fries. Nice selection of local micro brews. Well worth it to swing by.

Every time I visit Milwaukee, this burger spot is a must! The food is consistently delicious—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked every time. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. Service is always fast and attentive, and the atmosphere has a relaxed, local charm. It’s also super convenient to get to, which makes it a go-to whenever I’m in town. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great burger and genuinely warm service!

We love Oscars. Great pub with delicious food. And for the price, you can’t beat it for its quality, They’re consistently great! Friendly staff and quick service as well.

Had a really decent burger here for lunch and their value pricing and good fries made it even better. Service was friendly and prompt.

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!

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.

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!

Its 5 stars because 10 wasnt an option. The burgers were the best and the staff was super friendly and engaging! Definitely will be back when in Milwaukee again.

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.

When in Milwaukee, we always go here. This is our favorite dive to get a great burger and fresh-cut fries.

Best place in Milwaukee to grab a burger and a beer. The food is absolutely amazing and the price is right I make a point of stopping every time I'm in town. Absolutely love it!!

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.

I built my own Oscar's burger with american cheese, lettuce, tomato, pineapple, & bacon. It came with fries & a slice of pickle. Overall, it was good.

No shot this place is real, they gotta get one in Appleton. The food was really good tbh, and so affordable (less than $10 each). My girlfriend and I went before a brewers game and the free shuttles are great, I forgot my bag on the shuttle and they took care of it. The waitress was nice and came over a good amount, food was pretty fast as well and even the inside was good vibes. Next time I want to eat outside, I think it was a bit cold though when we went

Food (burgers) are always great, I can order the burgers how i like, Medium Rare. When it's busy it can be difficult to get a waitress/waiter. But worth the wait. I love the outdoor setting at the back (porch). Delicious Food!

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!

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.

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!

The last two times I was there I'm bringing friends in from out of town, today we sit at the bar and we order something to drink. I got an Arnie Palmer I took one drink and it didn't taste right so I asked for a coke, the bartender grabs the gun and pours me a coke from the fountain,I took one drink and it was off. The color was off the taste was off and so I asked for a bottle of root beer and finally got a beverage that tasted like it should. After a wait the food arrived my burger was good (not great) but the fries were limp and wimpy!! The bill arrives and the bartender had both of the bad drinks on the bill and when I asked about it and said those should be removed from the bill he was arguing with me that the drinks were fine and proceeded to pour another coke from the gun and said I'm welcome to try another one. He said the drinks were just fine but since I didn't like them he was gonna charge me for them. I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT IN THAT PLACE AGAIN CHEAPSKATE P.O.S bartenders are garbage and have no place in the food industry Run far away run run run from this crappy place and get a good burger somewhere with friendly staff that actually care for the people that come in and bring friends and family in with them to dine. OSCARS CAN HIT THE DIRT !!!!

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.

I enjoy some of the menu items. The drinks are decent. We enjoy sitting at the bar. It gives us direct access to the bartender, to study the bottles and to occasionally glance at the tv screens. The wifi needs to be serviced. Remove the free wifi text and passcode if it does not work.

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.

I came here after getting the craving for a burger as well as reading some community lists of "Milwaukee's Best Burger." I was going to wait to write this review until I tried a few more places, but I could not wait! In fact, I went back again! Oscar's definitely deserves to be on people's radar and favorites list. From the service to the ambiance here, it's a great spot to chill out, have a drink, and definitely enjoy one of Milwaukee's Best Burgers. I decided to sit at the bar while I was here and the staff are very friendly and attentive. The burger is definitely one of the best I've had anywhere. I'll be coming back again and again!

Tried Oscar's Pub & Grill for the first time and was extremely impressed! They are known for their burgers, however, they have other options as well! Their food is also very reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The staff was very friendly and our food came out in timely manner. This would be a great spot before a game because it is more of a bar vibe so very casual. They also have a ton of beers on tap! Overall would recommend checking this place out!

Wow, just wow! The food this place is unreal. What a way to honor the celebratory sacrificial team. Bengal beer tacos! These guys think of it all. Only giving three stars though because as I walked up to the place, I saw the El Sheffey peeing on the side of the car and I never saw him wash his hands. If that doesn't mean anything to you then it's five stars all day.

Stopped here because we heard they have some of the best burgers in Milwaukee. They absolutely did NOT disappoint! The burger was well seasoned, well cooked and the topping combinations were to die for! The fries and onion rings were also stellar. They have a big beer selection and the ambience is a warm and welcoming classic Milwaukee bar. Definitely don't skip this one!

I had no idea this gem was tucked into the area! Friends were so excited to visit and have "the best burger" and it didn't disappoint. I don't eat pork, so I didn't wind up with their top seller, but the mushroom and Swiss burger was perfect. The space has a great atmosphere, and though it's not large, there seems to be plenty of seating for a crowd. Can't wait to go back again soon when we're back downtown.

Oscars has been a mainstay for me since 2012. Once in a while I just need to get a 'Big O' burger and it NEVER disappoints. Looking forward to great food? The search ends at Oscars!

Came here with friends/coworkers during the week. The staff were all very friendly! It was not overly busy. The bar is a nice space with a decent amount of seating. I think I may have had too high of expectations after reading so many 5 star reviews for this place and hearing others talk about it as well. I ordered a build your own burger with fried onions, Swiss cheese and mushrooms (medium). The burger was okay, but my expectations were that it was going to be the best burger I ever had. It didn't have a lot of flavor in the beef. Maybe I was expecting too much. The seasoned fries were very good! I am sure I will try it out again eventually.

This place was highly recommended by friends. Since I was in the neighborhood Saturday, I decided to try one of their delicious, world famous hamburgers. I ordered the Big Hongo (mushroom, and Swiss ) and a side of fries. One of the best hamburgers I have ever tasted! To perfection, juicy, and very flavorful. Oscars also has a full bar, and lots of other tasty items on their menu. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Plenty of free parking. I will definitely be back.

I came to Oscar's today since I am celebrating National Burger Month and my birthday month. Oscar's is a little hole-in-the-wall joint. If you drive too fast, you'll miss it. They're right down the street from the Horticultural Domes. When you walk in, you can seat yourself. The vibe of the place is very chill. I ordered The Big O. My goodness! It's a huge burger. I was put into a food coma after eating this bad boy. Good flavor and excellently cooked. You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't come to Oscar's.

I do not enjoy being negative, but I relish being honest. Oscar's was disappointing on several levels. Friends were visiting from out of town and wanted burgers. My first choice was always Sobelman's, but I decided to try Oscar's since he came from the kitchen at Sobelman's. The place behaved disorganized from the moment we walked in. The bartender came around and said, "Sit in the back." We did, and eventually, a young man came over to take drink orders. My wife ordered a ginger beer that never showed up. I was compelled to walk up to the bar and ask for it. It was the third request. Oscar's wasn't crowded. The burgers were so-so and lacked flavor. The fries weren't particularly tasty. Oscar's was nothing like Sobelman's; it was not in the same ballpark. I was embarrassed to bring my friends here. Oscar's must have been sold, or Oscar is missing in action.

I went to the oscars on hy 18 for many decades. Very great staff and food. After that burned down sadly I saw the owners inviting those customers to other locations. I tried the location near lincoln and 108th street. I went in and the employees were talking among themselves. I have a bad knee so I sat to wait to order. When I got a chance to order I got hostile employees. I asked for the manager who misgendered me many times just to insult me. I was told I should just leave. I called back to get the name of the awful manager and was refused. The guy claimed to own the stores which I knew he did not... When I was misgenered I wore a full length red dress with heels, long nails and my breasts were visible. This was no mistake. Sadly I went back today and got the wrong food, overcharged and again misgendered over and over just to try to insult me. I came in with no attitude, just wanted food and professional behavior. The openly hostile behavior is not acceptable. The owners need to deal with this or enbrace hatred like their staff...

We found this place on Yelp and thought we would give it a try because it was close to our hotel. The burgers were delicious. Great taste they toasted the buns. The service was tremendous they was extremely busy and they worked as a team to take care of us. If you are in Milwaukee give Oscars a try.

Service was amazing. Had the big o burger. Burger was cooked perfectly and toppings were great. The burger itself really lacked seasoning. Fries were a little on the soggy side but I still liked them. Just wish there was some seasoning in the meat.

Always always always a hit! Oscar's never disappoints! My favorite burger spot in Milwaukee. Prices are spot on, portions are large. Service is timely, and most importantly the burgers are delicious! I've probably had all the burgers on the menu. This most recent one was the big Hawaiian which comes with grilled pineapple on it which adds the perfect compliment to the tasty burger! For those of you who are beer drinkers, they have a fabulous lineup of beer on tap as well!

The is delicious. Big tender juicy burger cooked order on soft delicious bun. The drink are well made to ininspire you to order a second. The fries are hot and fresh. The staff is friendly and helpful with delicious recommendations. A GREAT dive bar to visit no less than 2 a month.

The service here was great. Walked in with a party of 10 and the staff was accommodating and quickly sat us at a large table. There were many customers at the restaurant who were sitting at the bar and watching sports. I ordered the Big O and it was good value. So much food for $10. Burger, fries, and a side of guac. Burger was cooked to order, and was a perfect medium rare. Burger wasn't anything special, but it was a good environment to hang out to enjoy some good food and drinks!

Still one of the best burgers! Oscar has been consistently serving up amazing food for many years now. The restaurant is a smidge out of the way, but so very worth seeking out.

What a find! Got some burgers, chicken fingers. Fried cheese, and onion rings and everything was superb! Burgers were huge, seasoned well, cooked to perfection, and juicy! My picky kid gobbled up the chicken fingers and said they were really good. Service was top notch! If you're in the area and want a burger, don't miss this!

This is a hidden gem on the south side of Milwaukee. My partner and I had strawberry margaritas. I had the big gringo for dinner with a fried egg added on top. It was delicious. Couldn't even finish the burger lol. The prices are reasonable and the customer service was excellent. Very attentive, food came out fast, and the atmosphere was chill. I definitely recommend you check them out!

Oscars has by far the best burgers in the Milwaukee area. Living in Chicago, we tend to head up to Milwaukee a lot for weekend trips and to attend sporting/concert events and also hitting up The Potawatomi casino as well and Oscars is always a go to spot for us. This past visit to Oscars was no different. I built my own burger this time with smoked Gouda cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato and my girlfriend had the Big O burger which was just amazing. All of the burgers here are huge and I can never finish the whole burger in one sitting so you'll definitely have leftovers to take home. I love the fries as well as they still have a little bit of the potato skin on them which is old school and they are crispy and just salted right. If anyone is looking for a solid burger place in the Milwaukee area, you should hit up Oscars!!!
