Blue Plate Special: Garlicky breadsticks, gourmet pizzas and succulent lemon chicken.
The Dish: Pat & Oscar's (originally just Oscar's) started as a strip-mall joint next to a Home Depot in Carmel Ranch. The fresh and flavorful take on pizza and chicken was such a hit that the single eatery soon spawned a small chain with a big reputation for good food and family-friendly prices. The menu has expanded to include an inventive pizza menu (the San Diego has feta, avocado, red onion and pesto), pocket sandwiches, a limited pasta selection and whopping entree salads. The restaurants do a brisk eat-in business but welcome take-out and in-office catering orders.
The Atmosphere: A distinctive yellow and black decorating scheme marks the Pat & Oscar's locations. Sometimes stand-alone buildings, sometimes anchor restaurants in malls, each location is set up to draw folks up to the ordering counter before they seat themselves. Food is delivered to the table by the cheery staff; guests fill their own drinks from a centralized beverage station. Expect to share your dining experience with lots of kids -- Pat & Oscar's is a family favorite.
*Price Per Person includes entree, drink and dessert.

Good Beadsticks
Gwenannette - 07/10/2008The breadsticks are yummy but the rest of the food is just okay. The place is noisy and sometimes ordering can get confusing.

mikevonludwig - 06/24/2006Convenient for family eating on a budget, but not that great. The chicken wings and ribs may as well come out of the freezer section of your local grocery store, but the salads and pizza aren't bad. This place's saving grace are the fresh breadsticks. I cant get enough of them.

BlueFrames's Review
blueframes - 02/07/2003i used to eat here before it got all "popular". Now it seems too pricey and not enough attention to their food. I used to visit there when I came to san diego. Not any longer.
