    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    All-You-Can-Eat Catfish
    Melissa F.

    Came in on a Sunday and the place was pretty empty (not for long). We were greeted by a super nice lady that helped us through the menu (we wanted to try everything). The place was very clean and had a nice casual vibe to it, with NO fish smell whatsoever! We ordered the All you can eat Catfish, (2) Fried Shrimp meals, Calamari appetizer, cup of Clam Chowder and hush puppies. The fish was FANTASTIC-not fishy tasting- and had the perfect crisp to it. Clam Chowder was great and the Calamari was not chewy - all was perfectly cooked! The shrimps were HUGE and meaty, not just breading! Next time we have a fish craving, Oscar's will be our first choice!!!

    3piece tilapia special
    Brian N.

    First time here. Was craving fish and chips and saw there was an all you can eat option on fridays. Showed up and there was a big line. Only two registers taking orders. Order at the counter then they bring your food to the table. WELL... there is an all you can eat fish and chips but everyday EXCEPT Friday!! lol just my luck!! Well ordered the 3 piece tilapia plate. The fish was deep fried in batter. Tasted a little fishy but decent. The tartar sauce was pretty bland. The fries were salty but the coleslaw was good. Overall it was pretty average. More like a fast food meal than a sit down type dinner. I probably won't come back unless I'm in the neighborhood and definitely not a a Friday!

    Kimberly T.

    Oscars is the best!! Been going here for years!! Their fish and chips is delicious and the fries are always so crisp!!! Clam chowder is famous for a reason -- and I don't even like clams lol. Try it!! It will be your newest addiction!!

    2 Piece Cod fish & chips
    Sara M.

    Great food, very fresh & friendly service. Not sure about cost since I was treated to dinner but this little mom & pop restaurant was clean, comfy & the menu is huge!

    Suzy S.

    Oscar's Pier 83 is really good. The food is fresh and exactly what would be expected with a fish and chips place. We ordered the two piece cod fish and chips and the one piece cod plus four jumbo shrimp combo meal. We also took a piece of catfish and a side of seafood pasta salad to go. Everything was delicious. The restaurant is casual dining. You order at a counter and the food is brought out to your table when ready. There's self service of drinks and condiments. We really enjoyed our dinner here and were excited to find a casual seafood restaurant that isn't overly expensive. We'll definitely be back when in the mood for seafood.

    Shrimp and Fried
    Tina P.

    We had combo meals. I had cod and clam strips and my spouse had fried shrimp and clam chowder. Everything came out quick, fresh and hot. Food was tasty and the oil they cooked in was "clean". Only recommendation we have is on the Cole slaw it was a little too vinegar strong and the clam chowder could have had more clams. We'll be back though to try other things since we love fresh seafood. Service was great!

    Great place to get fried clams. They are usually pretty busy at lunch and dinner time and parking can be tricky but totally worth it.

    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… Read more

    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

Wraps, açaí bowls, sandwiches, even protein beverages since there's a gym nearby - you get what you pay for. I love the Phoenix Wrap and the Chicken Pesto. You're typically choosing anywhere from 25 grams to close to 50 grams of protein when you eat here, though if there is anything to note, it would be that a lot of the sandwiches are $15+. You choose your budget, but don't miss out if you're looking to spend a little bit more. The staff behind the counter is usually laidback and pleasant. It's a calm place, and they don't mind letting you stay. If you have work needing to be done, it isn't a bad choice either. If I could give this place 5 stars for its smoothies, but maybe 4.5 stars for their sandwiches... I would. A lot of the times, I personally find that with the wraps exclusively, they tend to be lacking something salty or something on the side to feel like a complete meal. It's strange that it isn't with the sandwiches, but the last time I came, I saw they were doing specials. Be sure to check in for those. They also do sell chips there so it helps, but just keep that in mind. Cheers to healthy and enjoyable eating though. Great place, though not always my own personal pick.

I was actually heading to Chipotle for my kids and found Phoenix Phresh in the same shopping center... I stopped by and purchased myself a wrap.
