Servise was good, food was good , ordered a single burger with grilled onions & jalapeños and got charged for a double, that's Bulshit .... I'll think twice about going back read more

I'm giving this 4 stars though I really mean 3.5 so I'm rounding up. This is a very cool quaint country restaurant/ music venue and I have heard it gets crazy busy on the weekends. We went on a weekday afternoon and were seated Pdq. The decor is rustic country and the bathrooms are a hike outside but the whole place is super clean. We ordered the fried pickle app but they were so salty we could barely eat them. Got a cheeseburger and onion rings, and CFS meal. Burger was pretty good- pretty standard. The CFS was really good- and my husband is a CFS snob. Also got the peach cobbler to go and it was very tasty. Pastry was not too thick and spices were good in the fruit. Overall a good meal- I will definitely go back on a live music night. read more

Father's Day food poisoning. Smog response. I've been bragging about this place until that phone call. Obviously the lady running this place has an extremely high opinion of herself for a really unknown reason. I'll spend my money with people that appreciate it. read more

Best chicken fried steak, green beans, mashed taters and gravy my hub has had in a long time. Hand breaded onion rings were crispy and tasty. Service was outstanding. This is a big place and looks like a fun place to party and see live music. read more

Great basic down-home food. Great service. Great atmosphere. The deserts are very good too.

Hour wait for a raw steak.. very disappointing

Been here twice so far for the chicken fried steak sandwich which seems hard to find nowadays. This thing was huge! Only con for me was it could've used a little salt but with S&P shakers on the table, not knocking any stars off for that. I took my wife the second time, and she had the catfish and absolutely loved it, even asking if we could go again the next day. Atmosphere is little hole in the wall hidden in the countryside, looks like an old country store inside and out with antique appliances on the porch decorated with flowers . Service was outstanding, Sidney was our server and she was very attentive to our needs. AND this place is only about 15 minutes from our home, so a great place for a quick getaway and meal. We'll definitely be going back! read more

Very Bland steak. Ordered a ribeye. Got a sirloin. Didn't think much of it because waitress wrote ribeye on ticket. In hindsight I knew I got the wrong meat. It was bland and barely warm. Baked potato was semi warm with overcooked bacon bits. Doubt we will be. Back. read more

Wonderful atmosphere. Down to earth country restaurant with very friendly staff. Cook to order hot food. The ribeye steak is delicious and it's perfectly seasoned and cooked to my liking. My mother in law was pleasantly surprised that they serve liver and onion of which she enjoyed very much. My wife highly recommend the fried squash and she can't stop talking about their ranch dressing. Which is phenomenal. read more

The best onion rings i have had in a decade. Perfectly cooked and huge rings. We arrived just at 3:00 when they were closing (word to the wise they close at 3 on Mondays) and the lovely folks cooked us two orders to go. Which we consumed like crazed women in my friends truck. Highly recommend. read more

Went in on a Sunday, later in day m, wasn't super packed which was nice. Our waitress on the other had was worthless. Didn't know what all came in a taco salad (basic AF for $12 when it should be like $6, don't bother). Overpriced, staff that isn't knowledgeable or courteous. Won't be back, poor 1st impression. read more

A great family place to eat and have some tea or a cold one. Huge burgers and great chicken fry!

I have been eating at this place for quite a few years and have enjoyed the food that I have ordered. The chicken fried steak has always been my favorite because of the preparation that has gone into cooking it and what I mean by this is so tender you can cut it with a fork. You want good food with a country feel good setting go to Oscar Store. read more

Delish as always! Can't beat the homemade French fries. Burger was perfectly cooked & not greasy or soggy. We love stopping in here. Great atmosphere too. read more

I am happy I found this spot. Good food great atmosphere allowed me to relax and enjoy. Rib-eye was flavorful and cooked perfectly. Our server was awesome as well. read more

Best chicken fried steak in the area, hands down. Catfish and burgers are well above average, as well. Hard to go wrong even if just throwing a dart at the menu. read more

First visit: This restaurant is a favorite dining spot for two of my friends so during my visit they decided it was a must go to appt with me. This country store/restaurant was nearly filled to capacity with tables occupied by families, coworkers (company logo shirts), individual diners and others. The atmosphere was welcoming and the waitress was friendly and attentive. The menu is filled with southern dishes and nothing healthy if that is what you are looking for. This is not a good place for vegetarians or pescatarians because of the limited options (fish, chicken, gizzards etc). Each of us ordered the fried catfish with variations of side selections. The catfish was seasoned fairly and was hot and fresh. The homemade tartar sauce was tasty and a pleasant surprise. The fried okra wasn't my favorite (no flavor, okra was hard) and the hush puppies were mediocre. There was a special of the day menu that Included fried shrimp that is not on the menu. The interior decor is not my personal favorite but fitting for the area and the state of Texas. There was one annoying fly that continued to visit our table towards the end of our lunch gathering. Lastly, the water tasted unfiltered and after adding a lemon slice it was more bearable. read more

You've just got to go here. The food is fantastic, the burgers are huge, cobbler is to die for, the service is great, no matter what yo order, you won't leave hungry. It might not be right down the street but worth the trip, it's an adventure you'll cherish. read more

Wow what a find. Wonderful atmosphere, liver and onions were excellent with just the right amount of onions and gravy on top. Mashed potatoes were very good and so was the tea. Large portions for the price didn't hurt my feelings either. Coconut pie wasn't as good as I've had but I'm not going to let that stop me. It's a few miles out from town but worth every inch of the drive. read more

The food was amazing the service was great! The diner roll was wow! It is out in the country but it is worth the drive if you are looking for a country style meal! read more

I consider myself a Chicken Fried Steak Connosseur. I would rather eat a CFS instead of a regular steak. I have tried many, many places throughout Texas. The CFS at the Oscar Store was GREAT. I give it a 9 out of 10. I award an extra point if it is so big, I have to take some of it home. I finished this CFS. Actually, it was the perfect size. I was completely full after devouring it. The mashed potatoes, gravy, corn-on-the-cob, and dinner roll was also just as good. I will be returning again very soon. The service was perfect. I had the CFS plate and a giant soft drink for under $20. read more

Arrived this evening around 4:30pm. My husband and I wanted to start with an appetizer and a beer. Shortly after arriving, the only other table left. We were the ONLY table in the place and we couldn't get waited on!!! Our waitress was either in the kitchen or in the bar sitting with the other staff. We had empty glasses and no one was there to notice that we needed attention. When my husband got up and went looking for someone, he walked into the bar area and there were a few employees sitting there who jumped up when they realized he was looking for help. Out of all of the staff there, SOMEONE should have been in charge to make sure that one table was being attended to. read more

I heard about this place a couple of years ago. It was definitely worth the 45 minute drive. The CFS was great and so was my burger. A hidden gem-!! Alicia, our server, was amazing. read more

Heading back to Taylor after a blistering afternoon of hiking at Mother Neff, we stopped by the Oscar Store on the recommendation of a friend of my wife, who grew up in Temple and used to go to there with his grandpa. I'm sure glad we made the trip. This is your classic small town restaurant/bar/roadhouse. The menu is simple, fish, chicken fried steak, burgers, etc. But really, do you need anything else? My wife and I started off when a couple of ice-cold longnecks and an order of onion rings. These were perfect, nice flaky batter (not that thick kind that breaks off and leaves you with just an onion strip hanging there...), and they were HUGE! I'm not a small guy and I could have worn one of them as a bracelet, heh heh... We both got the cheeseburger baskets, hers the small and mine the large. They were both excellent, and one nice surprise I didn't expect - the burgers were char-broiled. Damn, that was just the topping on the cake of an excellent big juicy burger. Oh, did I mention, home cut fries? Hell yeah! Just like mama used to make. There were quite a few folks here at 2pm on a hot Friday, everybody was super friendly, we made sure to check out what everybody else was eating, the chicken fry looked great and I saw a heaping pile of fried chicken gizzards that I will definitely be ordering next time. The place also has a little bar on the other side of the dining area, a TV or two (looked like a great place to camp out and watch football), and a biergarten/dance area outside, looks like they have live music on Fri-Sat nights, may have to check that out sometime. All in all, a classic piece of small town Americana (a cliche I know, but true). Stop by and see 'em! read more

A lunch at the Oscar store is a great opportunity to get away from the city to enjoy some fun food. The chicken strips, chicken fried steak and burger are better than average and adds to the experience of traveling to the country for a meal. The service is super friendly and the place fills up quickly for lunch. read more

Best. Fried. Pickles. EVER!!! Great, country atmosphere, and the staff is always super sweet.

I always wanted to take my son, Oscar to Oscar, TX. This place popped up on a google search. So i decided to surprise my son on our way to his grandparents. Thanks to Temple traffic, it looked like I was just deviating from 35....but finally we came upon the Oscar Store and he had this big ol' grin. We went in and the atmosphere was laid back and friendly. I ordered the BLT which was delicious, and Oscar ordered a corn dog...he liked it, but he really loved the fries. This rustic place looks amazing on the outside and inside...it is a hidden gem. We will definetly be coming back...maybe try a steak next time. Success!!! read more

Let me tell you something, little ways out past the city of Temple and down a few back roads you find one of the best places to get anything steak and burgers. You pull up to a beautifully laid out property. The big rusted wheels catch your eyes and right in the front an old time Dr Pepper sign reads "Oscar Store" . But it's when you walked through that wooden door and enter the country living dining room you know for sure you are right where you want to be. Right when you walk in you see the meal of the day. You sit yourself down where you like and the waiter comes up to you with a small-but powerful- menu. Let me reassure you, spending your money here will never be anything but satisfying and worth it. I attached my "meal". Hope this helps you weigh in on where you're eating today or night. read more

Had a fantastic wedding rehearsal dinner at the Oscar Store. Great venue! Very cool setup and outdoor bar area. I had the grilled chicken which was DELICIOUS. Many other members of the party had fried catfish. The filets were HUGE and earned amazing remarks around the table. No one in our party had any complaints. All the wait and host staff were friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Definitely recommend! read more

Food was really good even though I left feeling like a fat cow. We went around 2pm last Friday and it was dead so we had a nice spot alone. Service is good and I like the building. Pricing is also good. I had the fried mushrooms, burger, and catfish, fries. My table spilt it all and my favorites were the mushrooms and fries. I also like how you can get mashed potatoes with either brown or white gravy. read more

The chicken fried steak is great! It doesn't look like much from the outside but I was really surprised when I got inside

Stopped in with some friends out on a motorcycle ride today, and while the company was good, the meal was way overpriced. Small salad with grilled chicken, (which I'm sure was simply microwaved chicken with grill marks), a Diet Coke and $3 tip totaled to $15.75. Are you kidding me? Is this worth $15.75? read more

Wow one of the best steaks ive had since being in the Temple area. I highly recommend this place.. The coconut cream pie was awsum too! read more

Hidden jewel. Once you find it, park under a tree to keep the car from roasting. Birthday dinner, four different items ordered, plus fried mushrooms. Our server was working a shift with four others when there should have been eight to ten servers. Service was a little slow, but bearable. Salads first. Nothing to write home about. Iceberg lettuce, sliced tomatoes, red onions, cheese, and a ketchup squirt bottle of honey mustard. Mushrooms were nuclear hot, right out of the fryer. Tasty. I used the honey mustard for dipping. Meals came next, chicken fried chicken, CFS, 10oz sirloin and another CFS. Steaks and chicken were cooked well, breading adhered well, gravy was hot and tasty. Everything was bland (not super salted or spicy), just as I like it. If you personally like it spicy, make it spicy after it reaches the table. Coming non-spicy, I was able to wolf it down and finished everything, cleaning my plate. Onion rings were large, sweet and had great crunchy breading. Okra was tasty, but the steamed broccoli, though bright green and good texture, was cold and tasted of local water. Yeast rolls were yeasty, soft and tasty. Drinks were served in 30oz plastic, and soda in a foam 40oz with a to go lid. Refill came a little to late, so used to go boxes for half the remaining food. No room for dessert. Maybe next time. read more

This is a new favorite spot for me when visiting Temple Texas. Located on some back country roads, Oscar's will not disappoint. The staff is super friendly, just like Texas, and offers a great listing of home cooking! Our work group were lucky enough to get Devanie* as our waitress and she was able to stay on top of all of our crazy orders. The food came out fresh and cooked perfectly. I went with the 10oz sirloin and it was cooked with just a touch of salt and pepper - PERFECT! Throw in some of Oscar's famous onion rings and you can't go wrong. But lets not forget the unspoken hero of the meal. The peach cobbler! This guy was not overly sweet, had the perfect amount of breaded crust, and some fresh peaches. Ice cream or not, this bad boy stole the show! read more

If you want a local favorite / secret this is the place. Heart of Texas owned, loved the pro gun and politeness experience. The food was cooked to order and definitely had a grandma home cooked feel. We all had the chicken fried steak with 2 sides. The food was amazing at an great price. 3 people ate until we were all happy for less than $50 minus tip. Started out as a small place and you can tell why they have upgraded to a great hangout spot on the weekends. We have family in the area and if we have the itching for some great food, which I am sure we will, we will be back. Thank you for a great down home cooking experience. read more

Keep in mind that this review would be better had the location of the place been closer to town and had I not been low carbing the last two times I went. The restaurant itself is large and lends itself well to larger groups. I have been told the normal food is very good and the salad I was forced to consume was good as well but didn't seem to be a lot to 'write home about' and I wasn't real happy paying $12 for what amounted to half a chicken breast on mediocre salad greens. Finally, while the drinks provided were large, the mix on the diet seemed flat and our waitress didn't seem to care when I mentioned it. The place has that old country feel to it, most likely because it was a farm at one time. In fact they even have old farm cats that roam the grounds, most likely as a form or vermin control. Being a cat person, it doesn't bother me to give a strange cat a few scritches behind the ears. read more
