We decided to give this cafe a try for breakfast during our stop over in Durango because of the great reviews we saw. The menu offered a great selection, and so I ordered a chocolate chip pancake and hashbrowns with cheese. If you don't have to worry about cholesterol or hardening arteries, this place is for you. The pancake was... More

I always enjoy eating at Oscar's. Lots of choices, great daily specials, nicely priced and the service is spot on for this small local favorite!

Food was good, plain diner fare. Nothing out of the ordinary, but tasty and reasonably priced. Portions were large enough for most to share. Service was friendly and prompt! I would visit again.

I don't understand the rave reviews for this diner. As a local, it's embarrassing that this place is rated #2 in Durango (as of the time of this review). It's just an average greasy spoon with slightly below average service. This is sort of a locals place, so maybe the incestuous "It's Durango so it has to be 'awesome'(!!!)" attitude... More

Breakfast is my favorite meal. I asked the locals where the best breakfast in town was, and they said "Oscar's". I must say that Oscar's lived up to its reputation. The food was good and the service was prompt and pleasant. Definitely worth giving them a visit.

Whatever your taste buds for breakfast.....they offer it! Cute little diner with a big menu and even bigger portions. Food is very good. Their homemade hot sauce is great!

First stop after arriving in Durango for our ski vacation. Found the reviews to be excellent so we stopped in. It's very small and space is limited but we were able to snag a spot for the 4 of us. The menu is extensive with typical diner type options (egg dishes, soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers). Husband had the Chili Verde... More
