Oscar's has a decent burger. Â The flavor is all Worchestershire, but it is more flavorful than other burgers I've had. Â Its not huge which I appreciate - gives me a chance at eating the whole thing. Â It comes with shitty ruffle chips, if you want something else there is an up charge. Â Prices are high. Â $1.75 for mushrooms on my burger is outrageous. Â There's nothing special about these shrooms. Â $1.00 for BBQ sauce...
The service was lackluster. Â The bartender had one foot into retirement and couldnt be bothered with bar converstation. Â
I wouldn't go out of your way to go here, but if you're in the area, its an option.
I come to NOLA/Old Metairie a couple times of year, and I always end up in this place at least once on my trip.
They have decent beer prices and selections, a unique setup with one half of the building lit well while the other side is darker, and best of all they have a great burger and baked potato! *****
Also, the place if full of Marilyn Monroe pictures and posters. Can't beat that!
A definite gem in the heart of Old Metairie :) The bartenders here are very nice and they have one of the best burgers around! They offer a juicy burger that you can get with an enormous baked potato. They also have steak night and I am told that is pretty yummy as well! It isn't usually super-crowded (especially on week nights)-- mostly a 30s and up crowd-- so it's a good place to come and hang out and talk with a friend without having to deal with too much noise. They have dartboards and pool tables and a couple of tvs. I have thrown a couple birthday parties there and they have always been accommodating.
Review Source:Awesome Burger, but it needs a bit of an update. Â Maybe a little facelift would bring in more business in the upscale metairie area. Â It is never crowded, it lacks tv's for sports and it is very dark. Â It is okay to go and grab a quick drink or get a burger to go, or hit it after you are already 3 sheets and close to home, but not a regular hang out.
Review Source:This is my little-known burger spot. Not one of the first places that comes to mind when seeking out burgers but that doesn't mean they don't make a bangin' burger. The burgers here are fantastic! Well-seasoned patties that are moist and delicious.
The bartenders are friendly and the kitchen is open till 1am on weekends usually. A great place for a burger if in the area.
I have several friends that live near Oscar's in old Metairie so I end up here more often than I would otherwise. Â The bar is the center of the space with seating on either side of it. Â They usually have female bartenders working that give decent to great service. Â There is usually a mix of all ages earlier in the evening but the later it gets the fewer people remain so this is definitely a place to visit earlier and not later. Â My main complaint about Oscar's is that they tend to close early by New Orleans standards so I've had many occasions where we've just arrived and they shut the place down 5 minutes later so we have to relocate elsewhere (usually Winston's). Â Oscar's does make a solid juicy burger (except for the Metairie St. Pat's parade when it is crap) and they have several other good looking things on the menu but over the years I've only eaten the burger so far. Â The burger is comparable to Port of Calls (but maybe even a bit better with a lower price). Â Oscars is a decent place to eat and hang out but if I didn't know people in the area I wouldn't have much motivation to visit very often.
Review Source:I absolutely love Oscars!! Hands down the BEST burger in the New Orleans Metairie area. The burgers here are so juicy and huge. It normally comes with loaded baked potato runs you about 15 dollars but worth it. The drinks are also great here!! You know you are drinking an alcoholic beverage and always get more than a pour. The liquor selection is tremendous!! Not much they don't have here. Oscars is a great place to watch a game, play a game of pool or darts, or just a place to relax. You'll notice pictures of Marilyn Monroe everywhere in this place. Only complaint is that it can get pretty smoky. But other than than, greatly recommended!! (And FYI- in my opinion much better than port-of-call!!)
