Oscar’s Saloon and Grille

denvertrek — Mon, 16 Apr 2007 03:02:03 +0000

Oscar’s is less than 2 weeks new. Located in the middle of the Denver Tech Center, they specialize is steaks, ribs and seafood. I went there this evening and had the Kansas City style ribs and tried the New York steak. They are still working out some of the operational kinks but it didn’t detract from the evening. It was a little on the pricey side and our food was OK – to good. They had a few homemade touches such as five unique steak sauces and coleslaw. I do wish they had darker beer on tap.

Recommendation: You should give it a try! The Denver Tech Center needs another steak place and this could be it.

Located on Arapahoe Road just west of I-25. For this and other restaurants in the Denver Tech Center go to the DenverTrek directory.
