Oscar's Pub & Grill. Steady taste.

11.20.2017
It was another night of "Burgers with Brothers", a new tradition that my brothers and I have decided is an important thing to do. There are going to be burgers but honestly, it's all about the three of us getting together with each other to catch up, hang out and share some time as brothers. So far, no spouses or children are invited.
The most recent outing was at Oscar's Pub & Grill, West Pierce St, Milwaukee.
The eldest of the three chose it.
For me it would be the third time. The past two times, very satisfied. Let's see what happened this time.
The place was hoppin' when we met up at 6PM on a Monday. There were a couple of drink specials listed on the white board. No burger specials. No problem, prices are decent anyway.

The burger choices went like this:
Younger-The Hongo (8 oz. Premium Black Angus Burger, Swiss Cheese, Sautéed Mushrooms) & Fries
Middle (me)-The White Gringo (8 oz. Premium Black Angus Burger, WI White Cheddar & American Cheese, Thick Hickory Smoked Bacon) & Onion Rings
Eldest-The Big "O"(8 oz. Premium Black Angus Burger, Chipotle Jack, Smoked Gouda, Hickory Bacon, Chorizo, Fried Onions, Jalapeños, Side of House Guacamole) & Sweet Potato Fries

All of us agreed that the burgers were cooked near perfect, fresh roll and all the sides were above par.

When we arrived the music was just background noise. A song by Pearl Jam came on and all of the sudden the volume went up! We mentioned to the waitress that it was a bit loud to talk over. A short time later, the basketball game sound was coming out of the sound system. Screeching shoes on a basketball court, right in our ears!

We wrapped up our conversation outside. Just some advice when choosing a table, avoid the speaker hanging in the corner of the bar area.

During nice weather, there is an outside deck that's a great place for larger groups.

Rate it:
4 of 5
Price is right on. Service better than ok. Great food. Fresh & relatively fast.
Noise level in the bar area is not suitable for conversation. (at least this night)
Although I said 4 of 5, it's a 4+. This may be my new "go to" burger. Very consistent.
