We all loved the amazing food. The wife lover here elk tatchoes. My hash was great. My son's twisted Ruben was tasty, and the daughter in law likes her French toast with fried bananas.

Delicious breakfast options, Bloody Mary’s and great service! It’s a bar/restaurant and 21 and over only allowed. Fun vibe with old black and white vintage prohibition photos. Recommend the pork verde Benedict and the biscuits and gravy. The biscuit was light and gravy was perfectly balanced with flavor and not heavy at all. The spicy Bloody Mary came with bacon and veggies and was more flavorful than hot, the way I like it. Visiting with friends that took us here so it was a fun group experience.

The service was amazing and food came out quickly. My 1st impression upon walking in was the smell. It smelled like dirty mop water or something. I almost turned around. The Chicken and Waffles was pretty good. The chicken was really well seasoned!

Following another exciting 90 minutes of what ended up turning into a physical torture session instead of therapy, it was off on a new dining adventure. We had driven by Dirty Oscar’s in our dining search. Today was the day we decided to see what they were all about. There is a huge sign as you enter saying you must be 21 and you must show ID. Sadly, neither Ray nor I were carded which I suppose must mean we do look old enough for them to be positive we are above legal drinking age. We were greeted warmly and seated immediately. Menus and drink specials were left for us to peruse while the bartender attended to other customers. Breakfast is served all day and there was more than one option which caught my eye. Ditto with lunch but I decided on breakfast, specifically chicken and waffles. The waffle comes stuffed with bacon, sweet seasoned butter, syrup and three pieces of chicken. The pieces are a breast, thigh and drumstick. I asked if I could substitute the thigh and drumstick for two chicken wings. I was told no but I could have two chicken breasts. SCORE!!!! Oh yeah!!! Order placed!!! Ray ordered the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. He opted for the Rosemary fries, over regular fries, which cost $1 more. We both ordered coffee. We were happy to wait while a fresh pot was made. Our food arrived and WOW!!! My chicken breasts were huge, boneless with a tasty, crunchy, slightly warm (spicy) coating, and lightly dusted with powdered sugar. I was a little skeptical of the powdered sugar but it was a beautiful enhancement!! The chicken was tender and juicy. The waffle was loaded with bacon, and was still light and crispy. I requested a second plate so I could move my chicken and butter and cover my waffle with syrup. The plate wasn’t big enough or the chicken was too big to move to the side. Both were acceptable dilemmas. I was only able to eat one of the breasts. I took the other one home. Ray’s sandwich had good flavor but was a little on the dry side due to a lack of au jus or condiments. The fries were thick and crispy but Ray learned Rosemary is not necessarily his liking. I tried to talk him into ordering the Garlic Parmesan fries but he passed, regretfully. He ate the other half of his sandwich for dinner last night. I made up a horseradish, mayonnaise mixture for him to use, and he said that worked well. The bartender was friendly, attentive and cheery as she greeted and waited on everyone. Our food was excellent, and I personally complimented the cook for my meal. We will definitely return!!! The dilemma will be whether I venture into a different menu option or stay with the chicken and waffle. Another good dilemma.

We had the best time here!! Food was absolutely delicious and our server Courtney kept us laughing and happy. 10/10 would come here again.

Had this place on my list for a while, and after going, I'm sorry I waited so long. First off the food is phenomenal. Everything is made in house including dressings and even their tater tots (which are stuffed). But even better then the food is the service, the guy that served us Friday later afternoon was a delight. I missed is name, but you can tell he cares about his customers, and loves his job. The prices are a little more expensive, but it's all homemade and inhouse, so I will pay extra for that. Really enjoyed the NA beer with my burger too. Over all a 10 out of 10 experience.

We heard about it in TV and it was highly recommended, so decided to try it. We had the fish and chips - it was a little spicy, but the fries and sauces were yummy! Also had the black bean burger, it was really big with lots of toppings on it, great presentation but it lacked flavor. It’s a typical dive bar inside, nothing fancy in a popular neighborhood. Parked about a block away in a residential area. Nice staff, not overly friendly.

What a gem this place is right in Tacoma. We were just checking this place out as we saw some good reviews on a website. Let me tell you they were all true and their food, service, and vibe are outstanding. The food is delicious and servings large enough to feed two people. Come and see them you will leave with a smile on your face and battling food coma it is that good. Beers and other drinks are ice cold and compliments the food great.

Low-key vibe. Never seems to be too "packed" if you need some breathing space. Weekend nights can be a bit snug, of course, like any bar. But the food here is killer. Just not a burger/sammy I've had here that wasn't above par. And the oversized cheesy parm tots are.... a guilty pleasure.

Man it hurts to say this but Dirty Oscar's Annex just isn't what it used to be. This used to be one of those Tacoma gems you told everybody about. The food had flavor the energy was right and those parm tots were legendary. Now they feel different. They went from being hand formed when ordered to clearly frozen and reheated. You can taste it. The burger came out overcooked and dry and the service was rough. It took forever just to get our drinks ordered and even longer to get them. I'm not saying this to hate I'm saying it because Dirty Oscar's used to set the bar. It was one of those spots that had soul. I really hope they find that again because right now it's just not the same place we fell in love with.

Sunday brunch. Nothing good to say. Drinks had no booze in it, tasted like the absolut had been watered down. The biscuits? Look more like a croissant and hard. Gravy was thick and had no flavor. The boy had a waffle and it came with a tiny cup of syrup. He asked for more and they actually charged us for it! Excuse me? Are you guys for real? $24 for a waffle breakfast should come with a small vat of syrup. Charging us for it? $98 tab and won't be back, this place sucks and is a money pit with no real value. Lame. I see nothing has changed since 2021.

Great breakfast place. I had the chicken and waffle. The batter on the chicken had a little spice and was some of the best I've ever had. And it came with three chicken pieces, and a full sized delicious waffle with bacon crumbles in it. My girlfriend had the pork verde Benedict which was also great and our friend had the steak burrito. It has a nice divey feel to the place and they've also got a great little cocktail menu as well. Definitely a great dining experience. No wait when we got there which was nice.

I've lived in the Tacoma ish area for almost four years now and have heard so many rave things about DOA - I finally just recently made it in, and I've definitely been missing out! From what I've heard, DOA used to be kind of rowdy and more of a bar scene. Now it seems they've leaned in more to the restaurant side, because they close at 10pm and it seemed really tame when I was in, with mostly couples in for a meal and just a couple people at the bar. Our waitress was super nice and they were quick with all of our orders. My friends and I decided to make a TikTok with our drinks (LOL) and one of my friends spilled one of her margs from her margarita flight and the waitress was super sweet and replaced it at no cost. So my friends got the marg flight and they both said it was super good (I tried a couple of sips and can confirm) while I got my usual hazy IPA. Nice local options for that as well. Both of my friends got the Down & Dirty Burgers which they praised, and I got the Blackened Chicken Cobb sans bleu cheese and tomatoes. When I tell you this salad SLAAPPPEDD, I mean it with my whole chest. The chicken was seasoned and cooked SO well. The rest of the salad overall tasted so fresh and their ranch is superb. 10/10. So glad I finally made it in to this local legend and can't wait to come back for that salad again!

My mom and boyfriend love this place, but I'm not a big fan of greasy diner style breakfasts, so this place doesn't really do it for me. Especially since, after trying to order something than an enormous plate of eggs, the brussel sprouts were overcooked and drenched in too much balsamic vinegar. I've got to stop ordering brussel sprouts. Every place offers them now, but then they don't put any love into them. However -- and this is a big HOWEVER -- you can get a flight of mimosas at Dirty Oscars and I am totally down for that.

Met here with friends and had an excellent experience! Our service was really good, friendly, and attentive. The food was great (all around everyone was pleased and our bellies were very full). I had the overload so that I could try multiple breakfast items and every single item that it came with exceeded my expectations. I'd highly recommend you check this place out! They even play football on the big screens!

Love the brunch; it's so amazing. You will not be disappointed with anything. I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy, macaroon desserts, and the brunch drinks--you can't miss them. Do not leave Tacoma without hitting up this amazing brunch spot.

Me and the wife went in about noon, pretty quite and got to business with lunch. Elk sliders were pretty nice, and my wife had the totchoes in pork gravy. We really appreciated the taste and probably left a little more full then we wanted, couldn't stop

John remembered me from last week! Trying the fish and chips today, but will do a review of the steak I had last week. A pleasant woman took my order of the New York Steak Frites with a salad. Salad was fresh The steak was nicely seasoned and cooked medium rare as requested. The fries were so good, I ate every one. Had another Black Raven Pilsner. I was so full, I skipped dessert.

We haven't been for a long time to DOA. We've loved this place for years. It's refreshed and the food is still stupidly delicious. No one makes better breakfasts. We have lunched there too and that's also amazing. Our server was great. Kudos to the team and owners.

Nice ambiance not too busy for a Friday morning. Good coffee friendly stuff. Food looks good. Husband got the Steak burrito, said it was good but the skirt steak could use a marinade or something. I ordered the Chicken in a Biscuit. It looked great and for the most part it was good. Chicken was cooked perfectly and well seasoned biscuit as well but whoever made the gravy this morning was very heavy handed with the pepper. It was about all you could taste. Very disappointing. There are plenty of other things on their menu I'd menu that I'd love to try though.

I'll never be back. I mistakenly order a sandwich without asking how much it would be and apparently this is what $28 gets you. Most underwhelming "waffle" monte cristo I've ever had. Quality of the meat is garbage. Had to throw the 2 half away cause I wasn't even sure what it was. I'm just flabbergasted that I spent over $30 on this and I will go out of my way to warn people how overpriced this place is. So frustrating. If I could give it zero stars I would.

Been here many times and always have great food and drinks. Last time I came shared the tacos, Brussel sprouts and nachos. Everything was tasty and fresh. The service isn't always the friendliest. I sometimes feel like we aren't wanted. So not going very often anymore.

We went to DOA for Sunday breakfast. This was our first time there, likely our last. We had the Meat Lover's Hash and a pancake. The hash was absurdly greasy, almost to the point of being inedible. The pancake was big, but dense and thin. Service was underwhelming and food was slow to be brought out. The one coffee refill had to be requested and there was no inquiry about the meal. We felt ill the remainder of the day. Dive bars often have somebody the best food, but based on this visit, not DOA.

I ate here yesterday for brunch with a friend. I made a reservation which really wasn't needed as it was somewhat busy but nowhere near capacity. Upon our arrival, we were greeted and seated quickly and given menus. We both opted for the mimosa flight to start us off. The mimosas were more juice-based than champagne-based which is not my preference, but they were still tasty. My friend ordered the French toast as her entree while I ordered the monte cristo. Both were extremely tasty and had some unique flavors. The portions were huge, and we both ended up taking about half of of our meals to go. Service was pretty solid as our server checked in on us a few times and made recommendations. The spot is more of a dive bar than a restaurant, but it was clean, and they were showing one of the Harry Potter films so they get extra points in my book. I'll definitely return to try some of the other items on the menu!

Went to DOA on recommendation of friends. Yes it's a bar but according to the friends, it's a good place for breakfast. 21 and older only, and it looks like it belongs on DDD. However the experience versus the recommendation are not even close. The server was awesome and helpful. She alone gets a "5". But the food is where it falls off the table. We got the Chicken in Biscuit and the Elk Hash. First the Chicken in Biscuit - a biscuit that was harder than the rocks on Mt. Rainer, dryer than Death Valley. The chicken was no better as it was over cooked and not flavorful at all. The Sausage Gravy was cold and flavorless. Over all this dish lacked seasoning period and no amount of salt or pepper helped. And this was a dish we were told was a favorite of customers. The Elk hash - not one granule of seasoning that I could find. It was flavorless period, again not hot sausage gravy and the Elk (?) was not very good either. The sunny egg was the only thing I ate I could say was good, but $22 for an enjoyable egg is a bit much. To recap, food was underwhelming in any favor profile, over cooked and extremely under seasoned as I would have need my whole spice rack to even begin to get a flavor profile. The Biscuit and chucked were over cooked. Would I return? Do not think so. Would or do I recommend? Me thinks not, sorry.

Came here because my sweetie remembered this as a great place for happy hour and eats. There is no more happy hour and we were going to try a dessert but they had no vanilla ice cream not already pre-made for another dessert. This was an amazing place and we hope it returns to its roots.

Argh. What to say. We have been to Dirty Oscar's four times but only eaten there twice. We really enjoyed the food. The drinks are really good. I recommend the Diablo scramble. The last time we stopped in to eat, the place was absolutely freezing. All the Patrons had their coats on. We asked the server if the heat was working and she said it was. We sat at the bar and it was ice cold. None of the bartenders greeted us or acknowledged that we had sat down. After about ten minutes of freezing and not being greeted we decided to leave. The time before that we decided to leave because we couldn't get any service. We always go out of our way to stop by because the food and drinks are so good. However, I don't think we will be back for a while. At least until the service improves.

I wanted to read it 4 stars for being 21 and up only. This only means I have to get a babysitter for my kid in order to come. But every time I've gotten a babysitter it's worth it!! The brunch cheesy tots with sausage gravy are what dreams are made of. This could possibly be the singular reason to go. However, the drinks are fabulous, all of the other food is amazing, and the staff is great. I've been many times for brunch and dinner and I've never had a single complaint about the food. No one I've been with has ever had a complaint about the food or service. The atmosphere is a lot of fun! Especially with the jukebox! They usually have some event, something going on, to keep things interesting. It's usually crowded, but the weight is never long. There's lots of seating inside the restaurant, but especially around the bar. I'm always happy when I get a chance to go to Dirty Oscars!

This is my second time coming here and was disappointed. The tots were the best thing. I had the biscuits and gravy but the biscuits were burnt after I was like why does the biscuits taste like char. The gravy too peppery and the country potatoes were plain...no onions or green peppers, nothing. So it was disappointing from my last visit they were busy so service was so-so. Saw out only twice to order the food and to give us the check.

I think my most favorite part of this visit was Yessly. Amazing bartender and absolutely one of the most personable individuals I have ever encountered. Her Michelada was the most extraordinary one I have ever had. Thank the good Lord we had no wait time and sat right at the bar. Yessly was so accommodating and friendly. The place was hopping and people were happy. I had my usual biscuits and gravy. They were good and the biscuits meaty. Not the best I have ever had, but good. DOA as it is called is a spacious bar with plenty of seating, cool atmosphere. Very impressed!

The only bad thing I can say about our experience today is that it was fricken freezing inside the restaurant! The food came out hot, but you had to rush if you like hot food as I do. Half way through our meal, everyone's food was getting cold and the sausage gravy was getting sticky. The service was 100% courteous and personable! I had the chicken and waffles. The waffle comes with bacon bits cooked inside and the chicken pieces are battered with one each thigh, breast, and leg. It was dang awesome! My wife had the fish tacos and they were to die for as well! The only thing I could argue is that they do not tell you what kind I fish are in the tacos. Would I go back, yes! I plan to try the hash next. See you soon!

Coning again to visit from California, this was my 3rd time here for brunch! The last two times I got the Chicken & Waffles (superb), and decided to get something different this time. I got the Waffle Monte Cristo, which is stuffed with REAL ham, bacon, 2 kinds of cheese and berry jam, topped with two "easy" eggs and syrup. My Gods, it was a lot of food and delicious! My daughter got her favorite, The Colonel's Hash, which is chunks of fried chicken, onions, cheese, sour cream and sausage gravy. We could hardly walk out! Amazing food, super nice staff, and ROCK AND ROLL! YEAH!

We had heard good reviews of Dirty Oscar's so decided to try it for lunch. When we walked in we noticed that for a noon lunch there were hardly any people in there. The server seated us and brought us menus. We found the service to be slow but attributed that to the kitchen. We ordered a Reuben, hamburger,onion rings, fries and iced tea. When the order finally came the Reuben was burnt to a crisp, the onion rings were hard as a rock, the hamburger was practically raw. It was hard to find the corned beef and what there was was dry and hard. The only good part of the meal were the French fries. Their sauce was supposed to be a Smokey tomato but it was neither and had an odd flavor. Would we go back, no. Would we recommend it, no. We have attached a picture of what they call a Reuben and the hamburger. The server was nice.

Came here based on all the good reviews and it did not disappoint! I ordered the Twisted Ruben and my girlfriend ordered the Tosso Tacos. Both meals were super delicious and had a unique spin on them. Carina was our server and was very attentive and helpful. Will definitely be back to try out more of the dishes. They had a great tap selection. Beers / ciders were ice cold.

Food was delicious so no complaints there. But our server was a hot mess. I don't know if she was new but her awkward personality and lack of knowledge for the menu created a pretty bad experience. When seated by host we were not acknowledged for almost 15 min. When she finally came to our table she gave some excuse that she didn't know they seated us there. That's not our fault. The restaurant was half empty so no reason why there should have been a delay. I think she was trying her best but it just wasn't an overal great experience. Glad you can at-least count on the cooks to deliver solid food. Would go back and probably just sit in the bar. Restaurant portion has work to do.

Tried Dirty Oscar's twice. I will not try it a third time. Ordered the chicken and waffle, it was just bad! The waitress was great, but the food was just bad. The place hold's its name correctly, "Dirty Oscar." Go for the drinks, not for the food.

My husband and I were celebrating our 20th anniversary this past weekend and wanted a new kind of atmosphere besides the regulars we frequent around home, Puyallup. We were excited to try Dirty Oscars brunch. When we first got there we weren't greeted just immediately asked for our ids. We ordered two dbl bloody Mary's. They charged us for two whole bloody Mary's! No warning. Until we got our check. We asked the manager how much a shot was and she told us, which was a little more than half the cost of the Bloody Mary itself. She said "I don't make the prices" We paid an arm and a leg for a mediocre cocktail. When prices are so high these days, no regard for people's hard earned money. Never going back.

On 5/17/24, I visited Dirty Oscar's Annex in Tacoma, Washington, "A Moonshine Bar with Great Eats." This is a 21+ Only business with a Prohibition theme. I ordered the crabcakes. CRAB CAKES ($19) Housemade Crab Cakes | Red Pepper | Green Onion Garlic | Panko | Coconut Jalapeno Tartar | Side Salad The plating was surprising, to say the least. It makes no sense to serve a tiny appetizer on a rectangular plate that emphasizes how meager the portion is. When I inquired about the side salad, my attention was directed to the naked arugula leaves beneath my crabcakes. The crabcakes were average at best. The service was good. I would return again to try the Tasso tacos, which has been featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives.

Oscar, you did us dirty. Ordered Tasso quesadillas, got some kind of pulled pork with uncooked green and red bell pepper slices and grocery store level pico de gallo. Also ordered shrimp and grits which was like oil soup with unseasoned Quaker grits in the middle with a few warmed up Lowry's seasoned shrimps. My shoes stuck to the floor. Our waiter was awesome and I want to thank him for being normal and cool, which was a relief compared to the other staff member who was talking about sticking her spit covered finger in someone's ear...loudly. Obviously they're doing something well to be this popular, but it's not for me.

Came in around 8:30pm on a Saturday. I had to park a block or so down by a Chapel although not too bad of a walk. Moderately busy, got the food fairly fast. We got The Edge flatbread.. amazing. I ordered coffee which was just drip coffee, pretty good. The biscuits and gravy was good as well. Biscuits weren't dry and gravy was darker than I imagined but I was delighted. The Ruben was yummy as well.. a little too crunchy on the bread but it held nicely. Fries were regular. The ice water they give tastes clean as well. They give hot sauces to use as well and they are all very tastey. The bathroom was better than most places as well. Good playlist playing.

Food was fantastic and fresh at Dirty Oscar's! Highly recommend. Service was quick and attentive. Vibe is typical bar or "pub". We shared the Parmesan tots- so delicious!! I had the dirty chicken sandwich, really good. Food was excellent. I didn't try any cocktails but my friend's mimosa looked pretty good!

Solid food, lots of seating. Knowledgeable, but slightly inattentive service. Serving sizes were pretty good for the price.

Dirty Oscar's great food makes up for their terrible service. Went here today for my second time ever for brunch and would highly recommend solely for their food. Menu has some unique options, flavors are fantastic, and portions are generous. Would recommend the chicken & waffles - literally the best I've ever had. As for service, the theme seems to be slow and inattentive. Between the two times that I've been here, we've had drinks never show up, wrong checks dropped to our table, utensils not given out until someone has to get up and ask, no napkins, etc. As someone that has worked in the industry for multiple years, avoiding eye contact with your tables while you're all gathered chatting near the bar isn't the move. Back of house: keep doing what you're doing! You are absolutely killing it. Management: Get more involved with what's happening on your floor during a Sunday brunch.

Don't let name Dirty Oscars Annex fool you, it is not a cheap night club to visit if in the Tacoma Washington area. The best way to describe the vibe of this restaurant is a brunch pub. There is a bar, and they serve awesome brunch food. There are plenty of options to satisfy the pickiest of eaters to someone more adventurous. I started off with a hot cup of coffee, I cannot confirm if the coffee was locally sourced or not, but it was a delicious cup of coffee brewed to the perfect strength. I paired the with an order of their pork Verde benedict. I always like to try eggs benedict at as many places as I can, and these did not disappoint. They are served with a smokey pulled pork, that taste like time and attention was put into smoking the pork. The pulled pork was placed on top of a fluffy English muffin and some fresh onions and other veggies for a nice touch. All topped off with a poached egg and a yummy hollandaise sauce. The crispy home fries that were served on the side made the perfect partner for mopping up the hollandaise and runny egg. I also ordered a biscuit and gravy, to get a feel of a couple of the menu items. This was not as much a hit as the egg benedict. Everything was prepared well, temperature and consistency of the gravy. It was just really lacking in the flavor department. I did not have the same excitement to finish this dish as much as everything else I received. Overall Dirty Oscars is a great spot to grab a quick bite with some friends or even solo. The staff was very attentive and very inviting. I will for sure come back if in the area or recommend to a friend to check them out. Visited on 21 May 2023

I've never seen a more dysfunctional restaurant in my life. The staff is just not in sync at all. Our chicken wings were honestly terrible and the place isn't busy and it takes forever to get anything from anybody. Maybe it's an off day, I don't know, but I can tell you I would never come back here again. There's just too many great Alternatives and to be so poorly run and have mediocre food just doesn't seem to work for me.

Food was good - we had the crab cakes egg Benedict which was a good quality but not my cup of tea. My wife loved it. I thought it was expensive. We were surprised at the good service though since all the other reviews tagged them for that.

I was so surprised at how good the fish tacos were and how robust the menu is! I can't wait to go back. It definitely has a dive bar feel but man, the food sure did pleasantly surprise me and our server was super friendly!

Been here a few times now and overdue for a review!! Ok first of all the drinks all around (sparkling wine and juice for mimosas) is amazing, and you get 10% off food purchases with it. What's not to like? On weekends - get a reservation, because this place can get busy! I had the hipster Benedict one day and the veggie scramble another day - both were fresh and delicious! Service was fantastic, even if they are busy, they still make time to stop by and let you know that it's going to be a few. I prefer that to just sitting and feeling ignored. Thank you! Had a great experience today - and noticed the bartender was pulling a double duty as it appeared they didn't have a server on when we arrived. He rocked it though. Kudos to him! I love the scene, it's a little dark, but still feels cozy. Can't wait to return! Cheers!

I had high hopes for this place, even after reading recent reviews. Unfortunately, everything fell flat. The server was all over the place, manning the bar and tables around it. I wanted a coffee but had a feeling that refills would be sparse so I waited it out. Waited long I should say. She took our order, food came out average speed and she checked in with us so I had high hopes we would be able to just give her money and go. But nope. I had to chase her down eventually and finally get the bill, at that point we just wanted to get out of there. Foodwise, again, high hopes. I got the totchos because, hello, totchos and unfortunately it all lacked flavor. I even had bison on I and it didn't seem to add any pizazz which is downright depressing. I love leftovers and took mine home but ended up throwing it away since the whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth. I would pass on coming here, even as delicious as their menu sounds.
