Oh. The. Joy. To eat an Oscar’s cheeseburger. As mcd has said, it’s a little bit of red-state red meat in a sea of lefty veggie hippy yuppy. The burgers here are just so flavorful and simple.
Their burger-smoke chimney has stained the sign. Yum. It ALWAYS smells like Oscar’s within the next few blocks. My dad used to tell me a simple Chinese proverb: “One home grills meat; three homes smell it.” I’m not sure what the proverb means (I’ve emailed my dad asking). My guess is that it’s about the positive externalities of life, and inadvertent benefits to your neighbors.
The big star. Their fries are kind of mediocre here, so focus on this.
What a view!

you gotta love the oscar’s - i miss that burger. you’re right, the fries are nothing special - perfectly serviceable, but nothing extraordinary. what you gotta do is get an oscar’s burger, barney’s curly fries w/ ranch - there’s your perfect burger meal…
