With a new bub on board, we’ve made it a weekly routine to head out every Tuesday for coffee and a quick bite to eat. Finding somewhere that can accommodate more than one pram has been a bit of a mission, but have been able to find some amazing places with great food. Today’s catch up was at Oscar’s Hangout, which is is a great little neighbourhood gem situated around gorgeous houses in Mordialloc.
Cool place and pretty child friendly. As soon as we sat down they instantly gave us some pencils and a colouring book for this kids. Coffees were good and we ordered the big breakfast and hashbrown dish. The place is homely and waitstaff are attentive.
Very nice homely feel, situated in a residential area in Mordialloc. Great atmosphere
Food was very tasty. Great brunch spot! I will be back
Came here for breakfast, coffee was great. Ordered beer battered fish and chips delicious. Nice atmosphere. Wouldn't have noticed this place on the street without the sign.
Great little venue. Had a little Engagement party here. Finger food was fantastic. Plenty of food and very reasonable prices. Also have a guy who comes and sings for a couple of hours on a Sunday afternoon. Excellent atmosphere. If you live in the area support your local little venues you will be pleasantly surprised with the food and service
We visited Oscar's today and the food was fantastic, the waiter Ben was amazing , he was polite , attentive and made our dining experience a memorable one.
I was super keen for brunch and wanted to check out something new, so i did some googling and found this place. Its in a great little location in the middle of the burbs, small cafe, plenty of parking with a good little menu selection. Now I believe they are open every day except for Monday for breakfast and lunch, very unsure about dinner but they must some evening because they had spirits behind the bar and there was so advertisement for a cocktail night! I was there at around midday and there were three other small tables also dining. The waitress brought out some water and gave us a moment to take a look over the menu.
It came highly recommend and we see why. Easily the best local cafe for a quality brunch session! Easy parking access and great range on the menu...
This Cafe ticks every box, it's food prices are great the staff are friendly. The place has parking and plenty of outdoor seating + the meals are well portioned. Keep up the great effort...
This cafe is small & cosy. It overlooks a park and is both dog and kid friendly. Plenty of parking and is quiet as is set off the main road, Came here for a friends birthday party. The staff were nice and friendly. The coffee was lovely. I had roast chicken with gravy and vegetables. It was also delicious.
Had heard about this place and thought we'd check it out. Really glad we did. It was beyond expectations. Had breakfast and we were blown away. Not just the food. Here's what we love in a cafe - great coffee - tick, friendly service - tick, room to read a paper - tick, relaxed atmosphere- tick (it overlooks a park and is away from the road so it's quiet). To our delight the food was even better. I had the hallmark brekkie- hash browns homemade, eggs, avo, tomatoes all cooked to perfection. Hubby had pancakes with berries (loved the big chunk of honeycomb on top!). Creative, thoughtful and well balanced. Clearly an excellent chef. Guess what? We went back next day for lunch!! Best chicken schnitzel I've had in a long time. Yummy chips too. Hubby had the falafel which he loved. Think this is going to be a regular for us!

Stumbled upon this place as a backup option as Hendricks cafe was closed, trusty Zomato to the rescue at the last minute, showing this venue with the same rating only two roads away.
A nice cosy little venue with both indoor and outdoor seating and a small bar/countertop at the front which looks like it transforms into a bar at night.
We ordered the lamb souvlaki, the chicken focaccia and the "worlds best" chips as they claim along with an iced coffee and a fresh pineapple juice.
The service here was a bit slow, we were seated before another couple yet their orders were taken and served way before we were even given menus.
The food took a good 45mins to come out but was really nice! The souvlaki was a little runny from the sauce as it was dripping a lot and had a little bit of a bitter taste by the end however the meat was cooked really well. The chicken focaccia was absolutely amazing, with a huge crumbed chicken breast that was cooked to perfection as it was tender and moist which most smaller cafes get wrong! I also must say the chips were really good and on par with some pro chippery's. The chips had a very similar look, crunch and taste to Schnitz chips and are a must if you are visiting this cafe.
Although service was slow, the male waiter who served us was very pleasant and friendly which made the whole experience a lot better.
A tucked away little cafe amongst the houses in Mordi!
I did a little research on this place since I have been here a few times now and found out the head chef has won quite a few awards, the food here is fantastic.
Shame about the front staff...... every time I've been here they seem as though they are doing you a favor to serve you.
I write this post with a small degree of reservation. Why? Because Oscar’s Hangout is quite small, and I’d be really pissed off if I turned up for dinner and it was full of people who read this blog. So if you are going, try to go when I’m not there. OK? Oscar’s Hangout is plonked in the middle of suburban Mordialloc, no where near the Mordy strip or any other commercial establishments. It is cafe-style food – open for breakfast and lunch all week and dinner on Friday and Saturday night. There was no dish on the tapas menu that was not enjoyed by out group of 6. The food was a tad slow coming out, but certainly worth the wait. Is the food the most outstanding you’ll find anywhere in Melbourne? No, probably not. But it’s damn good, and a welcome find in the Bayside culinary wasteland. And they have White Rabbits, which rates an extra vote.
This place is fantastic. The owners Brad and Carly have managed to balance a kid friendly place with some of the highest quality meals I've ever had.
We also asked them to cater my husband birthday recently and the Aranchini balls we an absolute hit!
My favourite restaurant, best service, best food and nicest owners! Try the haloumi salad!
Coffee is great here!. I was in on Sunday, the café was nice and cosy. A group of us ordered breakfast and coffees and it was quick and delicious. Coffee was one of the best I've had for a very long time. Well done guys.
Excellent. A great local hangout, everything about the food is sensational, highly recommend.
Great little cafe, ideal for kids with lots of space to run around outside. Good food and friendly service. Set back from the road - just look for the car park and it's in the corner.
Yummy, well cooked breakfast. We will be back!!!
Great food, awesome service. The team at Oscar's are more then capable to cater for Gluten Free :)
Great suburban cafe. This is a great little suburban cafe - good for lunch. We had foccacia - the BALT was bacon, lettuce, avocado and tomato and it was very good. The chips were excellent and the coffee was good. Certainly worth a visit if you live or work in Mordialloc. I recommend it.
Catered Function. I just had Oscars Hangout cater my bucks party. We gave them a budget to work to and everything was sorted; Beer, spirits and food. This included a massive pig on the spit. The boys were happy, I was happy. A job very well done.
Wow, what a find. Fantastic, nicely presented dishes.
The pork belly is exquisite.
Will be back!
Great place to party.... We had our little girl's 1st birthday party at Oscar's and it was fantastic!!!
They were very accommodating, there was a great audio-visual setup, brilliant food, excellent service!! Couldn't ask for anything more!!
Wow what a treat!!. Highly recommend Oscars Hangout - family friendly, great food, great service, great atmosphere - a quaint delight.
The experience for Mother's day lunch was so good, look forward to going again.
Thanks to Carly & Brad - and the friendly staff of Oscars Hangout
Nice little spot hidden away, service is great, food took a while but well worth the wait, will definitely go back.
Brad and His team were fabulous for my partners 40th birthday cocktail party. Food was sensational and very reasonably priced plus we had the place to ourselves with our choice of music and decorations. Intimate and classy :)
A-Mazing. We had a relative come over from France and we decided to take him out for a nice breaky.
It was a great choice selecting “Oscar’s Hangout”.
Being Celiac I was happy to have the choice of gluten free breakfast and to have toast that did NOT taste like cardboard as many gluten free products do.
The food was lip smacking and the service was wonderful.
It was a beautiful way to start the day.
We were proud to see that our overseas guest was thrilled with his meal and the atmosphere of the fun and cosy café.
Being a local in Mordialloc we have added Oscars to the top of our list of places to go. And will definitely be returning for more delectable food.
Well done to the staff and terrific owners of Mordialloc’s newest and remarkable café!
Finally a dog and family friendly cafe. Had breakfast at oscar's this morning. Great atmosphere with relaxed tunes and attentive wait staff. Right next door to a large park, oscar's is accomodating and puppy and child friendly. It is great to find somewhere with a modern vibe, great food, modorately priced and able to cater to the needs of a modern family.
Little weird! Good food but!
Lunch. 10 for lunch - all with little ones. the lay out was great - noisey so we all fitted in well - the food was great, when it finally arrived, 40 minutes between the first on our table being served & the last - seems a little odd. We all agreed we would come again, shame the service was so slow but good setting.
I can't say enough about the food at Oscars. We had arancini balls, squid & pork belly (pork belly to die for). We lashed out and got dessert each. Sensational brownie & sticky date pudding. We can honestly say it was some of the best food in the area. We will tell our friends and family about this place. U must try it, u won't be dissapointed

I've been here a couple of times for a snack. The foccacias are really, really good - I've tried the chicken and the BLAT and they are good value at $10. The antipasto platter is also nice with a glass of wine. The breakfast menu is good although I didn't expect to pay $20 for the big breakfast (even $19 would make me happier... I don't like my breakfast dishes to start with a 2!). The coffee is adequate - personally I like the milk to be textured a bit more so you get that lovely velvet texture... But overall, this place is terrific for a light meal in a nice, quiet park setting. I'll go back again to try the pizza.

A hidden gem. Oscar's Hangout is tucked away in Epsom Park and you need to know where you're going to find it - but it's definitely worth the effort! There is excellent parking so if you aren't lucky enough to be able to walk there its still easily accessible. Its very family friendly with kids being able to play outside and welcome inside.
There is a range of seating options with a couple of large comfy sofas and both inside and outside seating. Its particularly lovely to be able to sit outside and not to be next to the road but to have grass and trees and a really pleasant environment.
The food is excellent! There is both a regular menu and daily specials (with daily set menus that include a glass of wine which are exceptionally good value). I'm working my way through the menu but so far have fallen in love with the roasted beetroot and feta pizza and the calamari; the breakfasts are all good and the antipasto platter with fabulous chips is an easy early supper with a glass of bubbly. The fact that Oscar's Hangout is licensed is just one of the many plus points.
A must visit for any one who appreciates great food and great service.
Relax and Enjoy. What would we do without Oscar's! Just a short walk away, Oscar's has great food, great atmosphere, and my children love it. I have many favourite dishes but must mention the Thai prawns, chicken salad, antipasti platters and of course the "best chips in town". My children love the homemade chicken nuggets, fantastic fish & chips and the 'best milkshakes in town'. The food is always fresh and delicious. As a family we love Oscar's because of the package deal....great food, relaxing surrounds overlooking a grassed area where our children can ride their bikes and enjoy the outdoors, plus the friendly, welcoming owners and staff. Honestly, what more could you want.....oh, yes, the wine is superb too. Enjoy.
So Yummy.. My family and I are regular customers of Oscar's hangout. I have pretty much tried everything on the menu and I can honestly say it has all been so delicious. The gnocchi is the best I have ever eaten and their chips are to die for. Aside from the food it is such a child friendly place which is a must for us when dining out. There is a great big grassy area for the kids to run around, they always have so much fun. I have taken many friends here and they have all been very impressed.The owners are just so lovely and create such a nice welcoming feel to it. I am sure you will love this place as much as I do.
Amazing function venue. As other reviewers have pointed out, the food and service at Oscar's is superb, and if you take your family there for a meal you won't be disappointed. It's also worth mentioning that Oscar's is a great venue for a function.
I recently organised my work Christmas party there. My staff though "what the hell? where are we?" However, several hours later the combination of amazing food, great service and live music had won them all over. It's been unanimously voted our best party ever.
I'm overseas at the moment, but I can't wait to get back for a decent coffee.
Its my hangout too!. What a great new addition to the Bayside foodie scene! while places like Parkers and Main street seem to be flagging, Oscar's never disappoints.
My dining partner and I not afraid to over order, started with some calamari beautifully tender with great crunchy coating.
We had a divine roasted beetroot, candied walnut and fetta salad, dusted with a little dukkah. (which i later tried to recreate on Christmas Day, close but not close enough)
We had the amazing pork belly which I have had before and simply cannot pass up everytime I go. Squashy porky cubes of joy :)
And reccomended to us by the wonderful host was the lamb koftas, which were served with a lovely yoghurt dressing and some of the best cous-cous ive ever eaten (it actually had flavour and lots of it!)
and lastly but by no means least plate of perfectly cooked asparagus spears drizzled with truffle oil and some cured porky bits was so tasty I wish I wasnt sharing. Maybe next time I wont....
Great food ( pork belly is to die for) great hosts & just a nice place to sit with a coffee. Family friendly
Local delight. We have also found this gem in our local area.
What a pleasure to be able to walk to a local cafe/restaurant and be able to just have a coffee and the home made treats the Brownies were to die for.
We have also been there for breakfast and loved the selection I tried Oscars Big Breakfast and the good wife who is very particular with her eggs had the poached eggs with the smoked salmon and was not disappointed.
We had a table of 8 people so the friendly staff member suggested we had shared plates for the table,our favourites were the squid & arancini balls.
Cant wait to go back.
We've been here for breaky and had the most relaxing morning sitting outside in the sun. Food is really yummy and great value. Very friendly service and it has the best coffee around. Will definitely make this place our new regular.

A hidden gem ! Clever thinking !. I thought the task of looking for bayside dinner venue different from a 'done up pub' such as the Beaumaris & Mentone Hotels was going to be a waste of time.... how wrong could I be.
The old faithfuls were considered and crossed off as I realised I needed something different and somewhere we had not been before.
Oscars Hangout is set in the old Epsom racing estate and even has some history of the old 'tote' building being attached to the new address. Its not difficult to find but its not where you would go looking for a very nice dinner venue.
A quiet setting in a small parkland area and amongst the new homes, easy to park and not far from home for so many who may like a couple of drinks. I can see how the morning latte crew would like the idea of watching kids running around on the grass outside whilst they catch up with the girls as well as how it would be a great local to have brekky at on the weekends..... for us it was dinner.
We chose sharing plates and tapas style as that allowed us try various parts of the menu.
We tried various items on the menu with clear winners being arincini balls for both of us, my wife voting for the chilli prawns and me the pork belly .
I would compare the quality of the food to restaurants I have visited in the CBD and throughout South Melbourne, advantages being the locality and without the higher price tag. Our dinner came in around $90 for meals and a couple of glasses of wine.
The decor is simple but neat and I am sure the owners will continue to add other elements.
This place is a monty on a balmy summer night, ask for a table outside under the stars.
My sister took me there today as a park nearby for young children. Cafe set in a lovely tree setting with some beautiful birds chirping.
Big serves of breakfast and lunch.
Banana bread yummy but the muffins are fantastic. Only seating outside currently.
Nice coffee and friendly staff.
Worth a visit.
Oscars Hangout is a wonderful place to have a function. I have been attending functions there for many years and most recently had one myself. The atmosphere was great and the staff were amazing! Highly recommend
was a really lovely spot and nice staff there. brunch was great. food was appealing and tasted great and was quite affordable! would definitely come back
Fantastic neighbourhood hidden gem. Service is fast, efficient and friendly, and dishes are well above regular café standard. Can highly recommend.
A great hidden treasure! Great service and excellent breakfast! I've tried the corn fritters, fruit toast and bacon and egg roll. All excellent. Plenty of room for prams and families and lovely grassy area for picnic style dining when the weather is sunny.
What a lovely little hidden place to get in a late Sunday breaky at. Came upon Oscar's after being turned down at two nearby locations that were packed with a breakfast crowd. Admittedly, we were being cheeky to think we could get a look in.
Fluffiest pancakes ever with a generous amount of maple bacon and all the trimmings.
Eggs Benedict with pork was perfectly cooked. And the Apple cider hollandaise was on point for tartness and deliciousness.
Hash Brown stack! Amazing crunch and and paired with avo and haloumi was just magic.
Staff were lovely and warm and the food came out nice and fast and looked and tasted superb. Even when we had a bit of a milk jug spill at our table they were quick to come and clean up our mess and dismissed any apologies from us. So nice!
Will definitely be back. Thanks Oscar's Hangout.
Very good menu and wine list. Nice atmosphere and friendly staf.
Nice stop for breakfast and coffee with the Dogs! Staff was lovely. Doggies got a puppichinio each.
Locals would love this joint.
