Little Oscar's plans to start evening hours in February this year. February 13th will kick off extended hours for your evening dining pleasure, with the restaurant open from 4 to 8pm on Thursday, Friday and Saturdays. Currently the hours are 6am to 3pm seven days a week.
Little Oscar's has been a roadside icon along State Highway 52 since 1964. Started by Oscar Palrud, who had owned the Dairy Bar in Cannon Falls from 1949 until 1964, operated the restaurant until 1983. The establishment quickly became a favorite with locals and travelers. Palrud, a World War II pilot and train buff, turned the eatery into a destination for many diners. One attraction which entertained kids and adults alike was the model railroad train, which chugged around the cafe on a suspended track hanging from the ceiling. Breakfast served all day long was a favorite with truckers and shift workers as well. The selection of delicious pies kept the dessert crowd pleased too.
Little Oscars is located at 23470 Emery Ave in Hampton on the east side of Highway 52. Their phone number is 651-437-6327.
