We decided to try Oscar's for karaoke tonight and boy were we disappointed. When we arrived it was well after nine o'clock which was when Karaoke was supposed to start. We sat ourselves in the most torn up chairs we have ever seen in the lounge area and were greeted by our server who asked us what we wanted to drink. My wife asked about the after 9 drink specials and was told that the only specials were The Mr Oscar and The Mrs Oscar which are root beer spritzers. I saw a sign for Red Stripe and ordered one and received the dull stare of a dairy cow and a ""I don't know if we have that"" REALLY? Do you NOT know what beers you have? When the server came back with two diet cokes and my Red Stripe we were given some great news. The only food they have on possibly the busiest night of the week is what comes out of the deep fryer. Karaoke kind of lurched along as if it was an unplanned event. The sound system is horrible with the music drowning the really bad microphones that appeared to be cutting in and out. We finally got an order in for food which was an appetizer platter and some clam strips. We found a hair in one of the fried mushrooms and the onion rings were cold before they hit the table which brings the temperature of their deep fryer in to question. We were able to get our song choices up to the DJ and all was well...... UNTIL it came time to put in our songs for the next go round. I understand giving everybody a chance to sing and all that BUT it seemed as though the DJ was a bit lackadaisical about rotation. It seemed as though she was reading our minds because she came over to our table and yelled at us ""If you don't like my karaoke you can just leave"" and then stormed off for a while. We looked at each other in disbelief as if we just witnessed a a mental break down. When my wife went up to the booth to ask her what her issue was ,she apologized saying she had thought she heard us yelling at her because our names hadn't been called in a while. This was completely unprofessional!! Even if we had been complaining,confronting a customer in the manner in which she did is neither appropriate or professional. Then after she half- heartedly apologized she explained that she was doing the best she could. Let's be clear. If this was her best she should not be a KJ. Multiple bouts of dead air or several minutes of really loud Gangsta Rap between singers is just wrong. Needless to say we will not be returning.
