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 the southern windows, and a variety of carved wood sculptures throughout. Rollo says of the restaurant, "I like my atmosphere. We're not ritzy or elegant, but we're not hash slingers, either."<ref>"Oscar's proves little change and quality pay off."

On [[February 15]], [[1978]], shortly after 1 a.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. Lee knew what most of the employees drove and was suspicious of the late hour; when he called to check on the license plate, it was reported stolen.<ref>Ann Rule. ''The Stranger Beside Me'', page 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."
