    I downloaded Yelp to leave this review. Oscar's holds a special place in my heart. I grew up in Milwaukee eating these burgers. Unfortunately I no longer live in the Greater Milwaukee Area. The food was extremely affordable and excellent, and the service was amazing and fast. Yuliana at the Franklin location was very helpful, sociable, and professional. Give her a promotion. I understand the difficulties of customer service, a lot of people are Karens and blame the front of house. However, I had an excellent experience and will be glad to come back the next time I am in town. A+ times Sincerely, Thomas Joseph Grant (fenix_the_producer)

    Tiramisu (2 scoops)

    Great burgers and custard, absolute staple. I highly recommend the mushroom swiss burger and a black cow shake (root beer flavor) as that's my go-to order!! If tiramisu is the flavor of the day I highly recommend it! My family absolutely loves their tiramisu flavor and we go out of our way to make a stop whenever we notice it on their flavor schedule! The custard is always delicious and great service. We typically get food from the drive through but the inside is really great if you have the time to dine in! They have a train set display that is cool for both kids and adults alike!

    Oscars is definitely a Milwaukee institution. The rotating custard flavors are a fantastic way to keep things fresh every time you go. The custard is delicious and affordable, although my one gripe would be that the food is definitely a bit hit and miss. Good service and decor though.

    Really great place for good ol' burgers, fries, and delicious custard. I live their milkshakes and the different ways I can mix in the real fruit and real flavors into them. The burgers are made fresh and perfect how you want it. If they mess it up you can get corrected and they might get you something else for the error as a thank you. Check them out won't disappoint.

    The cheese is dry and bad not edible at all
    Yazielis R.

    The food is pretty good I recommend trying the mint milkshake!!!everyone is so kind and they treat us like family,they are kind and make us feel welcome.the place is very clean. Although we got containers of cheese for our food and the cheese looked a little dry and bad Edit: I've decided to come back and give it another chance this time the cheese was actually good I tried their hamburger and it tasted wonderfull I also ate their limited time grilled ham and Swiss cheese sandwich and that was amazing im changing this review from 3 stars to 4

    Half gallon of the flavor of the day

    When you order a half gallon, they should have it filled to the absolute top, especially for the price you're paying.

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich with the proper amount of pickles
    Jeremy E.

    Stopped into here on the way home from Franklin Field. We were expecting a Culver's knock off and we were pleasantly surprised to quickly realize that it's light-year ahead of Culver's. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich and asked for extra pickles. I am notorious for being verbally disappointed at what most places consider to be "extra" pickles. For the first time in my 40 years on this planet, I actually had to take pickles OFF of my sandwich there were so many. It was a Christmas miracle. My friend asked for a side of pickles for her burger and she basically got a helping of pickles the size of an appetizer. As far as I'm concerned, if you are a pickle lover than this is the only place to get a burger in Milwaukee. The prices were incredible, the service was amazing, the cleanliness of the joint was top notch and the food was delicious. The woman who gave me my sandwich actually apologized to me for how many pickles the cook put on my burger. You should have seen the smile on my face. If youre looking for a delicious, friendly meal, I can't recommend it enough

    HAD to come here when we went to Milwaukee . The best fluffy cheese curds and bomb frozen custard. They left out my hot fudge but I'm not too mad about it The burger is actually pretty good too. Quintessential Midwest version - wide patty, minimal veggies, ketchup and pickles

    Nice wrapper.

    If you order hamburgers at night, they're always cold. They just put it on the bun with cheese and onions three times it has happened to me.

    Get the sundaes or custard. Burgers are ok at best and chili tasted like dish soap. Service at counter lacking any enthusiasm.

But still very good and so cheesy. I've had a burger here and a salad (two different visits) and these are also quite large servings as I took home half each time! The staff was attentive and quick to take orders, refill drinks and follow up to make sure we were happy with our meals. Inside there are tv's at every angle with different sports events playing and plenty of seating in the dining room and at the bar. I'd like to return to try one of the bloody mary's of the month because they look quite impressive (basically dinner atop a mug). While there was no wait the two times I've been here, the yelp app does offer a waitlist option so keep that in mind for the weekend evenings or during sporting events when they might get more packed.

He still delivered outstanding service, but it required me to be patient to accept that outstanding service. We did get lucky however to show up during happy hour. I rarely get to take advantage of such deals. I ordered a Spotted Cow, which I've had plenty of in my life but never as a draft. Definitely a lot better than in a bottle. We also ordered Fire cheese curds and onions rings. The cheese curds were regular good. They were huge and had a nice kick to it. I liked the cheese curds so much I decided to try their Cheese Curd Cheeseburger. It came with their burger co sauce, cheese curds and provolone cheese. The perfect was delicious as well. Very cheesy. Only thing was that they were on the smaller size. Thin patties. Me like thicker burgers. Wouldn't hesitate ordering again. My son ordered their Hickory cheddar. This burger came with fried onion straws, bbq sauce, bacon and cheddar cheese. A very delicious burger as well. Over all we left very satisfied and full. I can't definitely see myself returning next time I'm in the area.

The dining area is incredibly clean, every table and booth was crumb-free. It's really bright and inviting due to the windows along the front. We were able to place our order easily at the counter and it was brought out to our table piping hot. I had the chicken tender basket, my husband had a burger. We both enjoyed our food, especially the fries. They were SO GOOD. Hot, crispy and not too salty. Everyone we interacted with were super friendly and professional. It was, overall, the best experience I've had at a DQ in a very long time.

When I did speak it was to ask what my total was (they never told me, just took my card and then gave it back without a word) and to ask them for my receipt- after which I had to ask if they had given us the entire order (they hadn't) and made them check the few items on the receipt. No apologies, no blizzard flipping, and no courtesy at all. There was one other person behind us in the drive through as we left, yet we were rushed and dismissed quickly. When eating my Oreo blizzard at home, I noticed there were fruity pebble pieces in it (we had also ordered a fruity pebble shake) so I am assuming the machine was not cleaned in between uses, very unsanitary and concerning- especially after reading further reviews and finding out that others have had the same issue for MONTHS. Will not be returning to this location again.

It reminded me of any regular little American joint, like a Sammie's or a Chicago Red Hots. Lots of burgers and sandwiches to choose from, but we were starving and chose the first thing we saw. I got the Maddie Melt, which I DIDNT EVEN KNOW there wasn't a patty in it until I was almost done with it. The flavors were so spot on, I really believed there wasn't a burger in it the whole time! It came with extra veggies, grilled onions, and mushrooms and was really good and is a good veg option if you don't eat meat. My bf got the pastrami burger which was just as good. Both came with fries and the patty sauce, which tasted like a mayo ketchup mix. Price was super reasonable and we left full and happy. Free parking. They also had a food truck in the front, so you can probably rent it for a party or find it in the wild! They had arcade games and crane games so I can see someone having a good time there. Would def come back!!
