Freebie alert: Pat & Oscar’s giving away free ribs July 1
June 30th, 2008, 11:39 am · 8 Comments · posted by Nancy Luna, Staff Writer and Blogger
To promote the comeback of baby back ribs to its menu, Pat & Oscar’s is giving away a free half-slab of ribs to the first 110 customers on Tuesday.
Yes. You read correctly. Free ribs to the first 110 customers mentioning the new menu item. That’s it. Stores open at 10:30 a.m., so get in line early.
I’d have to rank this as one of best freebie deals around — even if it is limited to a certain amount of customers.
Note: The baby back ribs replace the St. Louis -style ribs on the menu. Baby backs, I’m told, were original to the Pat & Oscar’s menu.

This is great if you can stomach their food. In my opinion Pat and Oscars is terrible. I used to like them way back in the day when I lived in San Diego and they were just two shops. After Sizzler bought them they have been horrible.

The only thing that is good at Pat & Oscars are their breadsticks.

Sizzler bought them? When was this? Was it before or after they changed their name from Oscar’s? Why wasn’t I informed!? =P

CK, they were bought by Sizzler some time ago, I think back in 2001 or so. Last I heard Sizzler was trying to sell them off to some Australian company. Here’s an article I found from last October. At any rate, like I said, in my opinion they went down hill back when Sizzler bought them. I don’t think I’m alone in that thinking since they’ve been struggling ever since.

By the way, they changed their name because a restaurant called Oscar’s sued them and the settlement was that they’d change their name to Pat and Oscar’s. Of course their marketing department didn’t talk about that and made up some gimmick about it being in honor of Pat and Oscar’s wedding anniversary.
