Large portions, friendly atmosphere, good times 
Having been informed that Oscars is one of the most popular eateries in York city centre, it was hard to disagree following my visit. The whole restaurant has a chilled out gastro-pub atmosphere with its simple decor of wooden tables and seats, and easy-on-the-eye low lighting.
The menu, although somewhat limited to the burger variety, provides some pleasant alternatives such as the platters of Salami, Brie and Pate from the Parisian Platter, or Feta cheese, Olives and Sun dried tomatoes from the Sunshine Platter.
The best things about Oscar’s dishes are the portions, which are very generous, even for poor starved students. On top of this, the staff are friendly and helpful, adding to the relaxed atmosphere of the establishment.
Unfortunately, with most good things there is a downside, for Oscars this will, without a doubt, be the cattle queues to be seen forming on any busy night out since both food and drink need to be ordered from the bar (although, if you ask nicely you will usually find the staff happy to oblige and go fetch your drinks).
You will also find Oscars packed during lunch as it's central location and wide range of sandwiches and baguettes (available during lunch times only), which come with a side of chips or salad, are great value for money. So, if you fancy a spot of lunch at Oscars be wary of the hungry shoppers and strangely enough the herds of grannies and push-prams.
However, do not be deterred, follow the simple rules of pre-booking for tables or avoiding the hungry-eater rush hours and you will be fine. Failing that, the experience will be a good practice ground for that supposed virtue known as patience.
