I had not been to this burger and hot dog joint in years, so I was looking forward to this visit. This small, total hole in the wall spot has been in operation for over 60 years now. This is a small place with rather limited seating, on the street parking, and an old school grill menu. In addition to the burgers and hot dogs, they offer a thick fried bologna sandwich, and some breakfast items including grits and liver pudding! On this visit, I chose to go with just a single hot dog with mustard, chili, and onions. This is truly an authentic Southern style dog, with very flavorful chili, a soft bun, and a neon red wiener. This was a very good dog wrapped in flavor and nostalgia - and that's definitely not a bad thing. read more

Oscar's Fine Foods - Old school Southern Chili Dog - Burgers Near Me - High Point, North Carolina

Great food and price. I wish they were open on Saturday or open later during the week day. I have going here for over 20 years

Love the Oscar Burger with bacon! Fresh fries and friendly service is a great accompaniment!

Good food that tastes home cooked. Only bad thing is that they aren't open late in the day or weekends but, if you can catch it the food is great. Great to go because not the biggest on the inside read more

Awesome staff and food. Oscar burger & onion rings!!! Stop in and tell Patrick hello!

Perhaps a more appropriate name for this place would be Oscar's Fine Folks, Good Food, and Rummage Sale. I say this because the people who work here are genuinely nice and honest. I know they are honest because I was accidentally overcharged for my meal and the order taker brought the overage to me while I was eating. Wow. Sadly, that kind of honesty is rare these days. As for the food, it is just good.: Cheeseburger: somewhat bland and just nothing to get excited about.  Hot dog: also averaged out to be good with an average tasting wiener, very good slaw, chili that was fairly bland and very dry, and a bun that was nicely toasted outside but a little soggy inside.  French fries: excellent. Sweet tea: pretty average; it needs to be stronger As for the rummage sale, the fine folks at Oscar's also have for sale a handful of a hodgepodge of items from used clothing to antiques. Very odd. Oscar's is located in a part of High Point that is overall pretty industrial and run down but has a smattering of new/renovated buildings. It becomes pretty busy with local traffic, mainly people who work nearby, during the lunch hour. I am totally with Erik S on this one. I was really excited to try it, and the people and atmosphere are neat. But when you get down to what it is really all about, the food, Oscar's falls a little short. read more

We stopped here, based on reading Yelp recommendations. We ordered chili dogs, hamburger with chili sauce and fries. Service was quick and the chili dogs and hamburgers were good but not excellent. The fries were average. I'd eat there again, but the rating is def 4 star vs 5. read more

Old fashioned, greasy spot hamburger joint. The Oscar Burger is a must try if you're ever near this hidden gem in High Point. Outdoor dining available. They also serve to go order and deliveries. read more

Delicious NC style red hot dogs "all the way" with mustard, chili, onions and slaw. Prices are reasonable for this simple straightforward food and their gracious, quick service. Great find hidden off S Main St that you should definitely check out! read more

Given the other reviews, I went in really wanting to like this place a lot, maybe I hyped it up a bit too much in my own brain. It is not a place I can usually eat at, given their M-F lunch only schedule. So today while enjoying a much needed staycation, I decided to give it a go. I came away with a very average impression. First off, let me say that the folks running this joint are just great people. I came in about half an hour before close and didn't detect one bit of grumpiness. Beyond that, they took good care of me with some personal service since the lunch crowd had gone and I was one of the few remaining. Super friendly folks. I ordered a cheeseburger with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard. A hot dog all the way. Onion Rings. Sweet tea. My total was 9 dollars and some change. A little higher than I would expect, and made worse by the portions laid before me. We'll start with the burger, which I had the least amount of qualms with. Ample size patty, cooked juicy. In the future, I think I would leave off the topping I chose and gone for a carolina style burger with chili, slaw, mustard, onion instead. Lesson learned. The hot dog was small for the 2 dollar price tag, I felt. Also, it was one of those radioactive pink types like they serve at Yum Yum's. Had I known this, I would have stayed away. The taste of the dog is important to me, and those just don't cut the mustard. However, it was saved by some tasty chili and slaw. I greatly prefer the dogs served at the local BBQ joints. The onion rings were by far the largest let down. Six tiny rings simply does not cut it. Avoid this selection. Overall, in my opinion, I could have spent my nine dollars elsewhere on a meal I would enjoy more. That said, I totally dig the family atmosphere the staff at this shack exude, and can't say enough about their friendliness. My only real dig is the value compared to other places around town, something I really thought was going to be a strong suit of this place. read more

Best burger I've ever had. If you're ever in High Point it's a must try. My personal favorite is the Grand Slam, but all the food here is pretty great and you won't regret trying it! read more

It is a dive. Lets put it that way. Just like Texas Tavern in Roanoke. Interesting burgers and people. It is worth a stop when in HP for the Market. read more

Love this little place great burgers and great hotdogs and awesome prices really great location if your looking for a good burger or hotdog

You gotta love this place. I look forward to going back and ordering slightly differently. The place was busy and the people were really nice. Ms T had I each had a burger and I had a chili dog on the side. This was a very good diner burger, cooked to your order on a flat top. I ordered my burger with cheese and tomato and lettuce. Although I eat a lot of burgers with L/T, I really think I prefer this style with chili and slaw. So that is a personal lesson for next time. In fact next time I'll go for the double called the Oscar Burger. I also liked the classic southern chili dog with the standard red weiner and homemade chili in a soft steamed bun. I added slaw and mustard. My only complaint was that it needed more chili. Great authentic place, great feel, great people and although it is located in town, great roadside food. read more

Loveeeeed this spot! The kind of place my dad would take me to as a kid. Super friendly staff, fast service and the food was exactly as it should be. Ordered a chili burger, hash brown and devilved eggs. Ate it so fast I couldn't get a pic!! Can't wait to come back with my kids! read more

In HP Oscar's is the place to go for great b Family run joint with great food service and lots of love and smiles . read more

Best burger in town. It's not one of those places you worry about the atmosphere or service, both of which are fine. The food is great and it's fast. read more

What a great little gem! We stumbled on this hold-in-the-wall after my daughter's art camp this summer. I can see how it's last eat the test of time in High Point's downtown district. Quality, juicy, handpicked, all beef burgers, homemade desserts, friendly service and packed with regulars. Definitely worth a trip to check it out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Ok, so first time here today. Customer service was great... these chicks seem super friendly, down to earth & seemed like employees were very happy (that says a lot about a business). It's definitely a "hole in the wall" spot... some are charming, but this is maybe more of a call your order ahead place. It does have a small area for seating, but it's very small. The menu looks good, It's basic stuff (burgers, hotdogs, sandwiches)... I'm excited to try other items, especially just a basic bologna sandwich! I got two dogs, chips and a drink. The dogs were ok, definitely had better, but good enough. The bun was a tad stiff and chili a tad dry, but decent. So overall, 4 stars because the food is ok/good for what it is (an inexpensive, quick, decent meal), but customer service def. 5 stars! read more

My friend who took me here described it as being a hole in the wall with awesome burgers and a great chili dog. Soon as I saw the place I knew I was in for a treat. They have a formula they have been using for a long time. It works. The weenie itself was not the highest grade I have ever eaten. The bun was fresh and soft from being steamed. The chili was a thick meat sauce with zero beans. Service was friendly and very agreeable. It was the kind of chili dog you could eat with one hand in three bites while riding a bicycle. It was a marriage of flavors that played off one another. The chili seemed to enhance the frank which joined with the soft bun and cold onions to play a tune in my head. I took the first bite and as I savored the intermingling of flavors in my head I heard the opening bars of the Stones Honky Tonk Woman. The first two went down smooth. I briefly considered getting a third but resisted not wanting to later pay the price. Dog gone good chili dog here read more

If your in town, and need a good burger or the best fried bologna sandwich in NC, this is your place. And the folks are genuinely delightful! read more

Now let me just say I am a burger connoisseur and a High Point native who recently joined a crew working furniture market to lunch. It was a nice walk from the IHFC's bus depot to discover what looks like a little blue concession stand... or stationary food truck of your dreams. Although, I'd be lying if I said I could tell I should have known about this place from the jump from it's surrounding gravel and shrubbery. Notably, you can't get an order without the beautiful busy bee's behind the counter nicknaming you honey, sugar, sweetheart etc. which is cute to an extent. Also the wait wasn't unbearable understanding we placed a fairly large order. I recommend you grabbing a burger and disregard the menu. I stuck with my guns requesting a double cheeseburger with bacon + ketchup, mayo, lettuce, tomato and struck gold. If you're a fan of an incredibly flavorful bite of beef look no further than Oscar's. Now I didn't go searching the menu for flaws so don't lean on me past their amazing burgers. BUT I did eagerly eat there two days in a row and wouldn't mind knocking out a 3rd or 4th. I can vouch for the awesome seasoned fries and onion rings though... very tasty! read more

This is a local legend for Furniture Market folks as well as locals. The burgers are totally top-shelf. The "hamburger" is a full scale winner. Ths is the real deal burger! The "Oscar Burger" is a double meat cheese burger. If you order this one, you might as well loosen your belt before you start to eat it. Oscars offers counter service only, orders take a while because they are cooked as ordered. Today, my fries were warm (at best)...but, the burger was AWESOME!!! read more

A great spot for a quick bite. Missing reusable wares, but makes up for it in price. Ambiance sends you on a trip through the times of High Point. read more

I absolutely love this place!! Been going since I was a kid, it's fantastic!! For the price and everything is cooked right then, you won't regret it! read more

Had the Oscar and it was a great burger. I will definitely come back for the burger and Arnold Palmer. Fries were so so. Hot dog was avg NC style hot dog. Staff was very friendly. Be prepared to wait. read more

I searched online "best burger in High Point" and I found Oscar's. The homemade chocolate cake was as good as my mom's Tennessee cooking, which says alot. The staff is so friendly. I will never get another burger anywhere other than Oscar's! read more
