About Little Oscar's

Little Oscar's is a small town cafe that serves home-cooked meals that are beyond five-star quality. Customers love the large pancakes that are more like eating cake, as well as the perfectly cooked hash browns, bacon, and scrambled eggs. The pancakes are delicious and so huge that a single pancake is often recommended. The Mexican omelet is filled with vegetables. The chef knows how to create a perfect pancake, nicely dusted with powdered sugar, and adding fruit toppings makes it feel like dessert. The coffee service is excellent, with a carafe left at the table for easy refills. Fast, friendly service and awesome food make this cafe a must-visit stop. It is a family-owned restaurant that has been serving the community since 1960, and the menu changes with the seasons, allowing for new dishes on each visit. Customers have noted the excellent pies, including apple, pumpkin, pecan, blueberry, and strawberry rhubarb, which pair perfectly with coffee. The prices are super reasonable, especially for the generous portion sizes, making it easy for two people to share an entree. The cafe is conveniently located just off Highway 52, making it an ideal stop for travelers heading to and from the Twin Cities or Mayo Clinic in Rochester. There is ample parking and a welcoming atmosphere for families. Recent reviews highlight the fish sandwich and excellent tater tots, making it a great stop between Minneapolis and Rochester for breakfast or lunch. Guests enjoy friendly and fast service with a smile, and many say it’s a diamond in the rough that will not disappoint. The loaded hash browns with hollandaise sauce are described as sublime, and the Lumberjack pancakes are praised for their golden brown fluff and perfect crispy bacon. The restaurant also offers breakfast all day, with big chocolate chip pancakes loved by children and families alike. Overall, Little Oscar’s remains a favorite for hearty, fresh, and tasty meals.
