“ What a classic Mom & Pop spot! I loved that it gave the feel of the classic breakfast meals but without being at home. 10/10! Service so far has always been very lovely and tentative ! ”
“ They don't have the train that runs high up on the wall around the dining room anymore. And you don't get an extra egg free when you order breakfast. But you are now over 20 miles from the Twin Cities so you can get hamburger steak for breakfast! You know a place is good when you sometimes have to wait for a table at breakfast. ”
“ Excellent! Fast and friendly service, small town local feel. Worth the stop when traveling down hwy 52. Food is amazing! ”
“ Cutest place on the highway in the middle of nowhere small town America. All smiles staff, clean, classic breakfast and diner lunch fare. Recommend if you're passing through. A delightful stop, gives you faith in the country again :) ”
“ The food is awesome, big portions and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is home town with comfortable with tables booths, and stools for sitting at the wrap around food bar. The service is always spot on, and that's because most of the gal's have worked here for years. They know how to make you feel at home and always welcome you with a smile. I am a long time repeat customer. So bring your family and enjoy... ”
“ The best hot turkey sandwich there is in this area! Little Oscar's made it ALL from scratch (except maybe the bread?); where does that happen now? Perfectly roasted turkey, homemade turkey gravy which was not too salty, and oh my lord, real whipped potatoes.They say they are historically known for their coffee. Too bland for those who drink espresso, but I love it. So then get tea! Great price and great service too. Two thumbs way up! ”
“ Love it here Amazing people!!! The food is amazing!! Country fried steak and eggs!!! ”
“ Best breakfast in southern MN. Is open during the highway 52 construction. Great waitresses! Good food and fast service. ”
“ We stopped for breakfast on our way to the twin cities...it was an impulse stop, and we were really pleased that we did! The service was wonderful - we were greeted and seated immediately, and a waitress was with us immediately for drinks and suggestions. My wife got a breakfast with a pancake...it was gigantic! She also had eggs and bacon - both were perfectly cooked. My breakfast was corned beef hash, hash browns, and eggs over easy. Everything was perfectly prepared and served piping hot. We will absolutely be back! ”
“ Just met my mom for lunch today. I have driven by here thousands of times....now regretting it's taken me so long to stop in!!! It was a lovely little place; counter seating ahead, table seating to the right, and booth seating to the left. Our server Katie was friendly. Thanks to her pointing out the special on the whiteboard I chose a DELICIOUS lunch!! Well it will be dinner too!! The roast beef sandwich; which was an open faced sandwich drown in gravy and a large helping of mashed potatoes!!! Everything about this meal screamed: grandma's kitchen, it had th homecooked attention. If I didn't stop myself I would definitely still be there... sleeping in my truck in the parking lot. My mom opted for the Loaded Hashbrowns, that she said were delicious as well. She also had another meal in left overs. Only about a half hour from home I am definitely looking forward to my next Little Oscar's meal!! Thanks for a good old fashioned Midwest comfort food lunch, Little Oscar's!! ”
