"Jumbo" shrimp combo.  What a joke on the jumbo part
Bryan F.

Arrived right at opening for what I've been reading about "the best fish and chips in Phoenix" for quite a while. Clean, orderly and decorated appropriately with seafarer motif. Service was with a smile and a thank you. May be some of the best fish and chips and fried calamari I've ever had. Here's the hitch. The portion size, abysmal. 18.95 for four skinny calamari pieces and what appeared to be a fish stick, not a plank. Outrageous price. Total bill for two combos and drinks, $49.72 for the worst portions per price I've ever seen. I would be happy to go back any time for the quality food and service, however the portion size will be preventing that. Very sad.

My wife and I stopped for lunch at Oscar's Pier 83, a casual seafood restaurant in Glendale on the northwest corner of 59th Avenue and the 101. The restaurant specializes in both fried and broiled seafood options. They are family owned and have been in the Valley for over 20 years. I ordered their signature fish & chips $20.95 and being Sunday it was all you can eat. I chose tilapia the fish was pretty good light and flakey but I didn't care for their fries and would order it again but would go for steak fries instead. Shanda had the shrimp Louie salad which left he wanting the shrimp lacked flavor and the Louie dressing was bland the cost was $16.99. We wound up switching entrées in the middle and I ate her salad. Happy wife happy life.

Hush puppies - the hush puppies were good but the sauce it came with was super weird
Vivian H.

I'm not out this way often but did give this place a try. Staff were friendly and helpful here. This is a seafood place and they have lots on offer, if you like fried foods. I tried to avoid an all fried meal, so had their broiled cod, steamed veggies plate. I didn't want the seafood pasta salad and substituted with hush puppies (oh well so much for not wanting anything fried). The broiled cod was pretty terrible, rubbery and overcooked and tasteless. I really had to try and finish all of my meal. The steamed veggies felt like they were frozen and just steamed up. Hush puppies were solid but then again you can't go wrong with the taste of fried, right? They have a soda fountain here and seltzer water and lemons available. Place was clean and bathrooms were fine. Also, had an outside patio space too. Sadly, I really wanted to like this place, but everything was pretty lackluster here minus the excellent service. I doubt I'll be coming back here, unless I may want some hush puppies...

I love their daily specials my favorite is the fish taco which I chose cod broiled. I can't visit this place without having clam chowder. The place is inviting. The staff is friendly and helpful.

2 Piece Cod
Rebekah D.

I've been here before but forgotten the name, so it had been a minute since I was back. Service is okay, no issues, it seems like a place with a lot of regulars. Vibes are pretty chill, "fishing boat" themed decor, fitting with the name. The food was pretty good. I was craving fish and chips, but not regular fish and chips, "good" fish and chips. The 2 piece fish and chips comes with a hearty portion of shoestring fries. They aren't anything special but they weren't bad at all. The fish is definitely the star. The batter is nice, it doesn't just get soggy when you add malt vinegar. It was crisp, cooked nicely and the fish tasted better than I remembered. You can choose different types of fish, I just went for the cod because that's what I was craving. It also comes with coleslaw and I like the coleslaw here a lot. It's not overly sweet, not too "soupy". Yum. I definitely will be back, and I can't wait to try the calamari. They have different specials too, don't forget to try those!

Broiled Salmon
Francine H.

This is a place you order your food at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. It wasn't busy, so we were waited on right away and easily found a table. We just wanted water to drink with our meal. There is a self serve water dispenser with plastic cups. The three of us all took a taste, and immediately we all said, it tasted bad. The water tasted fishy! It also had that old refrigerator smell. We decided we would eat our meal without water. My sister and I both got the salmon and we both thought the salmon was dry, overcooked, and very fishy. It left a bad aftertaste in our mouths. The large serving of vegetables were good, and the side serving of pasta was just ok. We also tried the clam chowder, it was very thick and pasty and was more like a gravy than a soup. The staff were friendly and the place was very casual but clean. Unfortunately, we all were very disappointed in the food and will not be returning any time soon.

(2) Cod Sliders Topped with Coleslaw & Pickles, Served with House Fries
Stephanie V.

I stopped in at Oscar's Pier 83 for a quick lunch after running errands in Glendale because it had such high ratings and reviews on Yelp. I'm glad this spot popped up on Yelp because I wouldn't have found it otherwise and it's a charming little fish and chip shop that's great for a nice lunch or dinner. It's clean and warm inside with very friendly staff. I decided to get the cod slider special Because I didn't need anything too big for lunch. It comes as (2) Cod Sliders topped with Coleslaw & Pickles, with lots of House Fries & a cup of tartar sauce. The fish was delicious with a crispy breading and a soft interior. The grease tasted nice and clean. All around very good fish. I'd like to come back and try the fish and chips, and also the wild mahi sandwich, when I have a bigger appetite. There's table seating surrounding the kitchen and counter in a U-shape, and patio seating on one side of the restaurant. There is a small bar with high chair seating as well. There are several TVs that play Fox News with the sound on. Men's and women's restroom available for customers. A large, private parking lot is shared with other businesses, with parking spots available directly in front of the shop.

Catfish and fried shrimp a la carte
Sara M.

Thanks Mo. for leading me to Oscar's!! I have been a few times for pickup now and it's consistently amazing food and service! The broiled salmon plate is what brought me here. The seafood salad is the most amazing pasta salad I've ever had in life!! Ugh it's so good and filled generously with shrimp, crab, scallops, so good!! The broiled salmon is cooked and seasoned to perfection and the veggies are so good! The catfish filet and fried shrimps are huge portions and quality food. The customer service has been so friendly as well. I'll be back soon for another delicious meal!

The seafood pasta salad.  Other places have been put on notice. Plumb shrimp, crab, creamy, cold and delicious.
Brandon D.

The food itself is fresh as can be. The fish flaky, the shrimp plump, the tacos filled to the brim. But what really separates is the friendly and helpful staff. Specifically Carrie (I hope I spelled that right). Have a party for the 4th and decided would see if could order catering size of Oscar's amazing seafood salad for a side. She immediately hopped on with the owner who didn't have the large quantities but instead of saying sorry no go offered the 24/32oz bowl sizes. Didn't stop there. Was ready to pack it up and bowl the salad and send me on my way but that wasn't enough. She went in the back to check the freshness of (made date). She kindly mentioned it was made prior and while still fresh offered if I could wait until today (4th) would have a brand new batch ready for me for the days offering. Immediately jumped at the chance. I already opened one and started digging in as it really is amazing but she went above and beyond. Her demeanor. Her politeness. Sweetness. She's an absolute gem and the restaurant is lucky to have her at the helm. Thank you to Carrie and to the owner for running such a great team with a premium offering and very competitively priced on top of it all. I truly appreciate you for helping make our party a success and more so how sweet and caring you are to ensure satisfaction. You have a customer for life.

Ask the Community - Oscar's Pier 83

Will the new owners maintain the same quality? I found the oysters to be over breaded on my last visit. Still good though.

We strive to be consistent and our staff work on putting the best quality of food out each and every time. Our apologies if your oysters had more breading than normal. Please… 

Does Oscar's have a kids menu?

No. But they have burgers or chicken tenders if your kids do not like seafood.

Do you offer an all you can eat Friday fish fry? If so what type of fish?

We do not offer AYCE on friday, however we offer AYCE Tilapia every other day of the week and on Sundays we do AYCE Catfish and Tilapia. $18.95

Is the fish farm raised or wild caught?

COD, MAHI MAHI, HADDOCK Is wild. Salmon is Canadian Organic Farmed in flowing rivers. Tilapia and Catfish is Farmed

Can you source Wahoo? You had it once and it's my favorite.

I can get Wahoo (also known as ONO). Sign up for our text notification alerts and when it's in you be notified. Text: OP83 To: 85100

Do they have any gluten free options?

Yep. Grilled fish and steamed veggies

What gluten free options do you have?

Garden salad, grilled ahi tuna salad, shrimp Louie salad, broiled salmon salad, any of our broiled fish meals as long as you substitute the seafood pasta salad for a dinner salad or sweet potato fries

Is this open today?

According to yelp it says it's closed today but it's usually open on Sundays with a catfish special. You may wait until 11 o'clock and try calling. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

Do you serve lake perch?

Unfortunately Ray perch is one of the fish that is not in steady supply. We do usually bring in featured fish every week, but perch has proven difficult to source.

I think we will try it this Friday. We will let you all know how it was! What is the average cost per person?

$10-$15 per person

It does have OTB machines and if you sit by them people will be coming and going non stop. If you look at the reviews, it talks about how long the pizza takes - about 20 minutes because they hand make the dough. It took a long time to get service. It looked like there was one waitress and one bus boy when we got there. When she did bring us our drinks, I asked if I should order my pizza now since I was the only one ordering pizza. I didn't want my food to hold up everyone else's because it will take 20 minutes (minimum) So I did. Pizza came out in 10 minutes and no one else at my table ordered yet because she never came back. I had to look for her as my pizza was getting cold and I didn't want to eat while no one had their food. She came took my pizza and threw it under a heat lamp which kind of made the cheese stiff but with that - it was surprisingly good. Hubby ordered a cheese steak sandwich and liked it. My Daughter ordered the boneless wings and said it was really good (my husband had a couple and agreed) and her hubby had sliders and liked it. It was fun playing the Family Feud game. We did come in third. Like I said, food was good. Service wasn't great. Just not my type of place. It did look like another waitress came in close to us leaving. I did see our waitress grabbing drinks at the bar too so she may have had just too much to do.

Walking inside feels a little like a sandwich shop, arcade and pop-culture time capsule had a baby... and then covered that baby in bumper stickers! At this wonderfully weird, slightly chaotic, old-school Phoenix institution, you can get an Italian sub for $2.99 and add a 24-oz fountain drink for another $2. In 2026. In Phoenix. Yes, those prices are American dollars. So... what inflation? Now, this is of course their cheapest deal, but the rest of the menu is still really reasonably priced. Minimalists, avert your eyes. Every available inch is covered in bumper stickers, vintage photos, signs, collectibles and random quirky artifacts, with old-school arcade games thrown into the mix. It's the kind of place where you could spend your entire meal just reading the walls. I got the veggie sub, which came loaded with FOUR different kinds of cheese, plus all the veggies, and they filled that thing TO. THE. BRIM. Fresh, flavorful, gloriously overstuffed, and messy in the best possible way. Also, the best service - the staff really is the sweetest over there, which I wouldn't necessarily expect from this kind of establishment. An easy 5 stars for me!
