About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for brunch
Romantic

Oscar’s proudly serves a delicious seasonal lunch menu carefully created with fresh local ingredients. As the cafe at the Birmingham Museum of Art, we believe a meal should be a beautiful experience in a comfortable atmosphere surrounded by the beauty of art and nature.

The upscale, fresh and local food we prepare nicely complements a light-filled open dining room offering a splendid view of trees and the award-winning Red Mountain Garden Club Memorial Garden.

Visitors may enjoy our outstanding menu Tuesday through Friday for lunch, and may enjoy our musical brunch on select Sundays. Please check the Museum calendar for dates and details.

More than just a cafe at a Museum, Oscar's is truly a destination in itself. We invite you to come and see.

Initially, the experience, as usual, was fine, however, once we received the check, we questioned the wait staff and he became extremely loud, making us very uncomfortable as though it was an intentional embarrassment. it was only when MJ, the manager was called to the table did we feel better.

This is a great venue for brunch. The prime rib is amazing. The salads were also savory and fresh. I enjoyed the collard greens and the red beans and rice. The best part after eating so much is you can tour the Museum of Art and walk the food off. They accept small donations if you choose to do so. I strongly recommend this brunch for the perfect late breakfast or after church meal.

My guy was not thrilled when I suggested we go to a buffet but he walked out being highly surprised. The food was delicious and it was a fun experience. Definitely something different to do on a Sunday! We enjoyed the art.
