'''Oscar's Restaurant''' is a [[Brownsville]] eatery located at 2805 West [[Cervantes Street]]. It was opened in the early 1940s as the '''Brownsville Restaurant''' by [[Oscar Woerner]]. It was soon renamed Oscar's for Woerner, whose pancakes earned him the moniker "hot cake king." The restaurant was purchased in [[1980]] by [[Helen Rollo]], who is still sold the ownerbusiness in September of 2015 to the Ashcraft family. The Ashcraft's are now trying to restore the restaurant to what it may have looked like back in [[1946]].
The restaurant seats up to 300 in the main dining room and an additional 45 in the rear room available for private parties. The décor is dominated by a large mural on the eastern wall, several stained glass pieces that adorn depicting what [[Joe Patti's]] looked like many years ago. The exterior has been recently repainted and old world style decals added to the southern exterior windowson the front of the building subtly giving a design cue of what direction the renovations are going. On [[February 15]], [[1978]], and shortly after 1 a variety of carved wood sculptures throughout. Rollo says of m., [[Pensacola Police Department|Pensacola Police]] Officer [[David Lee]] apprehended serial killer [[Ted Bundy]] after seeing his orange Volkswagen bug emerging from the alleyway behind the restaurant, "I like my atmosphere. We're not ritzy or elegant, but we're not hash slingersLee knew what most of the employees drove and was suspicious of the late hour; when he called to check on the license plate, eitherit was reported stolen."<ref>"Oscar's proves little change and quality pay offAnn Rule." ''Pensacola News JournalThe Stranger Beside Me'', January 20, 2006page 274.</ref>The incident is referenced in the song "Board of Tourism" by [[This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb]]: "Ted Bundy was caught behind the hot cake king / He had a busted head light behind the hot cake king."
