Wish they were more prepared... didn't realize they changed the hours of the show...unfortunately we had to leave. Please know that the quality of food for the price is not worth it. Eat before you go. $18.00 for 3 pieces of French toast. I know it's expensive all over, but it was nothing special. Hate to complain...but $100 for tickets then the price of a breakfast at that price is kind of ridiculous. Then you're running around trying to get get things ready at the last minute..

Absolutely loved drag brunch. The service was unmatched - there were only two servers for the whole space and my water never went empty. They killed it! The entertainment was incredible- highly recommend this spot.

Overall the performers were great, service was good, food was fine, but logistics could use help! Our Saturday 10am seating didn’t open doors until 10:38am. ? We were told to be patient as it seemed they were short staffed and it showed. A server didn’t take our order for 40 mins after being seated, but the turnaround was fairly quick and we were eating by 11:35am. Performers started around that time as well and they were high energy and amazing. Beautiful costumes, hair and makeup! Very interactive and kind with our two teen girls. ? Food was basic brunch fare and tasted good (overpriced at ~$45-$50 per person but to be expected). The bottomless mimosas are the best deal and my glass always seemed to be full! (careful with that one!) Our server was super nice and she was very attentive the rest of the morning. I enjoyed the large outdoor patio and didn’t feel too cramped (although we were seated on the edge). There is no cover and you’ll be in full sun most if not the whole time, so wear your sunscreen and shades! Experience could be even better with the ability to pre-purchase $1 stacks or have an ATM on site. There is an ATM at a massage place two doors down that we were directed to, then the Oscar’s staff were prepared to break our $20 bills into singles. We had a great time, but Oscar’s doesn’t rank #1 out of the other drag brunches I’ve been to (both in Palm Springs and other cities).Kid-friendliness: The venue allows all ages, but has discretionary advisement for under 18. We brought our 14yo daughters - one of which has been to drag shows before - and it was great! The performers were very aware they were young and interacted in totally appropriate and kind ways with them. ♥️

Came for the brunch & drag show. To be quite honest, I was a bit let down. I've been to drag shows where they actually come out dressed as different stars; and even if they lip sink, they sing through a song wearing costumes to dress just like the star. However, here they just played music and the Drag queens came out, danced through the audience asking for tips-- which they provide plenty of one dollar bills for your $20's (even encouraged everyone to cash in) so everybody could get the queen to dance by their table. There wasn't really any acting or performing except that they were dancing well, but not really "impersonating" any star in particular. What is more, we had the impression from the website that brunch was included. Nope. No brunch included. Not the case. Rather you were handed menus and asked to order drinks and food above and beyond. The menu was very limited. Overall, it was just so so in my opinion.

We went last weekend for the drag brunch and they were totally unprepared for the number of tickets that they sold. It took an hour before we got a food order in and another forty before the food came out. The DJ was (for some reason) in charge of making change. He must have had only $200 worth of bills for 100+ people and we weren’t able to properly tip the queens for most of the show.The only redeeming qualities were how hard the service staff and drag queens seemed to be working. Anita was edgy, professional, and hilarious. One of the drag queens did a Britney Spears number that was an amazing acrobatic feat. The food was also basic fare done reasonably well. If they had more service staff or had sold less tickets, it would have been much more enjoyable. Until they figure these things out, I would not recommend going.Edit: just to reiterate, I did not have a good time.

Went for a Sunday morning drag brunch. Make sure to get there early to order your food. And get the bottomless mimosas! They are constantly bringing around bottles of sparkling wine to fill up your cup. Never empty! The food is just ok, but you aren’t there for that. The performers are so good! It was so much fun. Bring cash! Someone will come by before the show starts to exchange larger bills for dollar bills. I recommend at least $20-40 per person to hand out to the performers as tips.

We attended the Drag Show Brunch. The show was wonderful. Wish the service had been better. I ordered a drink that arrived after the food and had hoped to get another drink during the show but all I got was a waitress who grabbed my glass and took off without asking if I wanted another! The food was ok but not anything to write home about. Still, the show was fun.
First time trying Oscars for a show. They have a mandatory $25 food and drink so we went for it. While the show, comedian Adam Sank was five stars, the venue itself had many issues. We arrived with 4 of us and we paid for the VIP section. The host who assigned the tables refused to allow us to sit together despite the fact that there were 2 tables of 2 right next to each other. He kept saying we are sold out, which we knew but why couldn't they just switch the table of 2 marked for a different couple? Food was mediocre in terms of the chicken wings (one was bloody red inside), pizza and southwest salad, which was probably the best of the 3. While loved the VIP section in terms of the show itself, the room tables were so ridiculously packed together that it was I,possible to get around in terms of watching the servers and having to use the bathroom. I think they probably were breaking some type of crowd code in terms of capacity. Service was OK up until the end when the show was over. The server didn't give us the bill until way after the show ended instead of coming during the last 15 minutes. So we had to wait until she went to each of her other tables until we got the bill. I'd say at least 15 minutes. This just really turned us off to ever coming back again unless the show is really really something we want to see. Thank God the show was worth the suboar venue.

Decent show but there are definitely better drag shows in town, though this one is probably the most expensive. Some of the Drag queens were great. But some.. well drag queens in the desert do this thing we've never seen at shows in other cities. They just come out into the audience and collect money from everyone, without doing an actual performance. Some never even step onto the stage, they just get their money, barely lip syncing, and then leave. What?!Also all the other reviews about the slow service, construction ruining the atmosphere, etc., are true. Still a fun experience over all.. But if you want a better show, better atmosphere, better service, and better prices, go to Toucans instead.

Four of us went to see a 70’s cover band play in November and all seating was outside and it was a bit chilly, but they had space heaters. Last time I went it was in June and it was so hot you could barely breathe, so be prepared. Food ordered was a hamburger with French fries and the ultimate nachos. Drinks were a little ?around $12 each. The band was $15 cover each and the service was good. Place shuts down early around 10pm weekly. Can never go wrong visiting Oscar’s.

Didn’t eat there. Lines for drinks are always long. More bartenders needed. Drinks are expensive. Music isn’t what it used to be. The line to get in is to make it appear busy inside when it’s not.
